253: Baili Jing’s changes!

“Zodiac Twelve Palace, Divine Power Tempering, laboratory?”

The four members of the Reserve Squad fell into deep thought as they looked at the message Shen Qingzhu sent.

“It’s pretty much what we guessed,” An Qingyu said. “Bai Li Xin really wants to use Divine Power to advance the research of forbidden items.”

“Hmm, according to Zhuai Ge’s intel, we can confirm that the wind god's left arm is in Baili Manor, and Bai Li Pang Pang disappeared with that thing.”

Lin Qi Ye rubbed his chin, “I’m afraid Bai Li Pang Pang is also in that laboratory, An Qingyu, I have a bad feeling.”

Cao Yuan and Galan both showed worried expressions on their faces.

As more and more clues emerged from within Baili Manor, Pang Pang’s whereabouts became increasingly vague.

They could deduce what Bai Li Xin wanted to do, but what role did Pang Pang play in these matters?

Why did Bai Li Xin hide his whereabouts?

An Qingyu looked at Lin Qi Ye and said, “At our current speed, we can reach Guangzhou-Shenzhen before dark.”

“It seems that to know the answer, we can only go into Baili Manor and see,” Lin Qi Ye said.

“But that Zodiac Twelve Palace seems quite tricky. Judging from the Virgin and Aries that just appeared, their Realms have both reached Immeasurable.

Coupled with those forbidden items tempered by Divine Power, they are even more troublesome.

Should we seek assistance from the 010 Team?” An Qingyu asked.

Lin Qi Ye shook his head, “No, first, our current status within the Night Watcher is that of unregistered individuals. Second, the Night Watcher in Guangzhou-Shenzhen may not be trustworthy.”

Cao Yuan asked in confusion, “Lin Qi Ye, why do you say that?”

Lin Qi Ye sighed, “Before coming, I investigated the Night Watcher team in Guangshen City. Their personnel haven’t rotated in ten years.”

“Ten years?” Cao Yuan was a little surprised.

Night Watcher teams have a rotation mechanism. Even Chen Muye only stayed in Cangnan for ten years because he was on a special mission.

“So, what do you think of the relationship between the 010 Team and the Baili Family?” Lin Qi Ye asked.

Cao Yuan fell silent. It seemed that the fact that the 010 Team had no personnel rotation must be the work of the Baili Family.

It seemed that this time, the Reserve Squad was truly fighting alone.

Just then, Galan tugged at Lin Qi Ye’s sleeve.

“Don’t… worry, I’ll… be… the shield.”

Galan’s eyes were filled with determination. Her fair palms clenched into a cute little fist, cheering Lin Qi Ye on.

Lin Qi Ye suddenly felt a little guilty. Having a girl rush to the front was truly…

However, the current situation was indeed not optimistic, so Lin Qi Ye had to say awkwardly,

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

Galan’s eyes curved into crescent moons. She patted her chest and said proudly,

“It’s okay… Galan… won’t… get hurt.”

Mere Immeasurable Realm, even Klein, in front of your Sister Galan, can only tickle her.

Of course, Galan would not say such things to Lin Qi Ye.

Lin Qi Ye was still a bit weak now, and she couldn’t dampen his confidence.

…

Baili Group Building, 101st floor.

“Pfft!”

Bai Li Jing spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He had continuously devoured 137 forbidden items. In the beginning, the devouring process was very smooth.

But as he devoured more forbidden items, he began to feel discomfort in his body.

“Old Mister, what’s wrong with me?”

Looking at the blood on the ground, Bai Li Jing’s head felt a little muddled.

“Young Master Jing, although the [Serpent Devouring Elephant] forbidden item has given you the ability to devour, the upper limit of devouring depends on individual talent,” Song Zhong said with a smile.

“Talent?”

Bai Li Jing looked at his hands. Every time he devoured a forbidden item, a black curse mark would appear on his body, like a tattoo.

With these black curse marks, he could use the abilities of these forbidden items.

“That’s right, the higher the talent, the closer the devoured quantity is to infinity. If the limit is reached, these forbidden items will cause a backlash to the body,” Song Zhong explained.

“Backlash? Why didn’t you tell me this before?” Bai Li Jing questioned.

Song Zhong shook his head, “I originally thought Young Master Jing’s ambition was like the scorching sun, devouring mountains and rivers.

But now it seems I overestimated you. No wonder Bai Li Xin refused to hand over core information like forbidden item research to you.”

“What did you say?”

Bai Li Jing didn’t expect Song Zhong to directly mock him. His eyes were bloodshot, like a fiend walking out of purgatory.

“Do you know how painful it has been for me to hide my true feelings these past few years?

I kept telling myself that I was still young, and nothing should be rushed.

So even if I had the heart to kill that Old Mister, I still had to pretend to be obsequious in front of him.

Even that old dog by his side dared to show off in front of me.

I’ve endured until today, and now you tell me that my ambition isn’t big enough, my desire isn’t big enough?”

The more Bai Li Jing spoke, the more agitated, the more insane he became.

He stepped forward and grabbed Song Zhong’s collar, “And now you tell me that my talent isn’t enough?”

Song Zhong was held by Bai Li Jing’s collar, but the expression on his face remained calm and composed.

“That’s right, you’ve only devoured a little over a hundred forbidden items, Young Master Jing, you truly are a piece of trash.”

Bang!

Song Zhong’s Aura suddenly changed, and endless pressure and Killing Intent were wantonly released from his body.

Bai Li Jing was only in the Sea Realm at this point, how could he withstand this?

An emotion called fear grew from within him. In a trance, he saw Song Zhong’s appearance suddenly change, becoming Bai Li Xin!

“You good-for-nothing, do you really think you can replace me? Do you really think you can manage the Baili Group?

It’s ridiculous. Do you know why I seek eternal life?

It’s because you don’t resemble me at all. Handing the Baili Group over to a piece of trash like you is simply a waste of heaven’s gifts!”

Song Zhong’s voice seemed to possess a magical power. As those words drilled into Bai Li Jing’s ears,

Scenes of non-existent memories were also etched into Bai Li Jing’s mind.

Bai Li Jing’s perception was gradually tampered with.

He remembered scenes of being tortured and whipped by his father when he was a child.

He remembered the scene of his mother being beaten to death by his father to protect him.

He remembered the memories of being thrown into a pigsty by Bai Li Xin and having to snatch food with the sows if he didn’t obey.

“No!”

Bai Li Jing clutched his head in pain, rolling on the ground.

“No, I’m not a piece of trash. I’m the true master of the Baili Family.

As long as I kill you, as long as I kill you, all of this will be mine, all of this will be mine!”

Red light burst from Bai Li Jing’s eyes, and he suddenly jumped up from the ground.

His left hand transformed into a sharp blade, stabbing towards “Bai Li Xin.”

Crack!

The “Bai Li Xin” in front of him shattered into countless fragments like a mirror.

Bai Li Xin was gone, and Song Zhong was also gone.

Only a demonic voice echoed in his mind, “Young Master Jing, congratulations on taking this step.”

Bai Li Jing suddenly grabbed the remaining forbidden items like a madman and began to devour them frantically.

His eyes were ferocious, and he laughed loudly:

“None of you can stop me. This sky cannot cover my ambition, and this earth cannot bury my desire.

I want to snatch all your things, snatch them all!”
