98: I'm only on my side!

Song Zhong's appearance here was unexpected by everyone.

After the last Snake Girl incident, Song Zhong disappeared for a period of time, and during this time, the Night Watcher Headquarters' assessment of him was finalized.

Song Zhong was provisionally designated as a Xuan Level Wanted Criminal.

The Night Watchers classify wanted criminals into four categories: Heaven-Grade, Earth-Grade, Xuan Level, and Yellow.

The condition to become a Heaven-Grade Wanted Criminal is to be a person who poses a significant threat to social security.

For example, the three giants of the Ancient God Church: Yue Huai, Qian Mo, and Whisper.

Earth-Grade Wanted Criminals are individuals who pose a threat to the safety of specific regions, such as believers with seats, who usually possess powerful combat strength and a certain scale of organization.

As for Xuan Level Wanted Criminals, they are either ordinary people with a certain influence, or criminals with powerful individual combat strength.

Regarding Song Zhong's designation, the Night Watchers hesitated for a long time at the time, but ultimately, because he rescued the Snake Girl, he was designated as Xuan Level.

Of course, regarding this matter, apart from the instructors, only Lin Qi Ye and a few other new recruits who participated in the battle at the Training Camp understood the situation.

Instructor Hong's Star Blade was unsheathed by half an inch.

Originally, their primary mission was to rescue people, but at this moment, they unexpectedly encountered Song Zhong; who knew what this guy would do?

There was another even more crucial matter, which was that Instructor Hong knew he couldn't defeat him.

Even Yuan Gang had his sternum broken by the opponent; all of them combined right now weren't enough to fight him.

And looking at the villagers kneeling to him, what exactly did this guy do?

Is he rescuing people?

Song Zhong saw the tense Instructor Hong. He smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I thought you would be faster."

"Why are you here?" Instructor Hong dared not relax his guard in the slightest and could only ask with a stiff upper lip.

"Why can't I be here? And as everyone can see, I'm also rescuing people."

Although Song Zhong's tone was calm at this moment, he always gave off a feeling of ulterior motives.

Lin Qi Ye looked at this person, recalling all the past experiences in his mind.

He had slain Mysterious, beaten up himself and Chen Muye, cleared out internal traitors for the Night Watchers, and rescued the Ancient God Church's Snake Girl...

This guy was full of contradictions.

A faint golden light appeared in Lin Qi Ye's eyes, but no matter how he observed, he couldn't see through this man.

He was ruthless, he was unrestrained, he was an accomplice to evil, and now he was also the one rescuing people.

"Whose side are you on exactly?"

Lin Qi Ye couldn't understand; he now felt that this person had too many secrets, and he could only see the tip of the iceberg.

"I only stand on my side!"

Song Zhong replied with a smile, "By the way, are you just going to waste time with me here?"

Instructor Hong sighed. No matter what, the other party was indeed rescuing people, even if he was a Xuan Level Wanted Criminal.

"Let's go to the next village."

Instructor Hong led the new recruits, who were in a complicated mood, out of the village and rushed to the next rescue location.

Song Zhong clapped his hands, and Han Shaoyun came to his side with a big leap.

"It's time for us to leave too."

The women, elderly, and children in the village, seeing Song Zhong about to leave, all knelt and bowed.

A faint Power Of Faith flowed into the System space, a familiar feeling, but more obvious than when he helped the little girl find her father before.

Song Zhong no longer paid attention to the villagers and led Han Shaoyun down the mountain.

"Seriously, it messed up my original plan. I wonder if I can still make it in time now."

...

In Jin'nan Mountain during the heavy rain, besides the Training Camp's rescue team, there were also several Mysterious figures moving through it.

Ma Yi Tian looked at the black-cloaked woman behind him and couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Young Miss Snake Girl, the rain is too heavy here, why don't you go back?" Ma Yi Tian said carefully.

The woman merely replied indifferently, "Don't worry, I won't ruin your plans. You haven't seen me; I snuck out on my own."

Ma Yi Tian sighed inwardly.

This time, the heavy rain and earthquake in Jin'nan Mountain were not natural disasters but man-made.

The culprit was Lord Whisper.

He used his ability to create a nightmare space. Originally, it would never rain in Jin'nan Mountain during this season, and earthquakes rarely occurred in this area.

Whisper's purpose was to force the Training Camp to send out all the new recruits.

He knew that the Night Watchers would definitely not stand by and do nothing, and this accident was the best opportunity to deal with Lin Qi Ye.

For this purpose, Whisper specifically selected four Chuan Realm and one Sea Realm.

And Ma Yi Tian was that Sea Realm.

The Snake Girl, who had just Broken through and advanced to Sea Realm, was not part of this plan.

The woman wearing the black cloak was indeed the Snake Girl.

Ma Yi Tian naturally knew that Lord Whisper's plan did not include the Snake Girl, and he heard that she lost her left eye in the last mission in Cangnan. The Snake Girl was currently in a magical cloaking period, so he was very flustered now.

The Snake Girl's erratic temper was well-known. Whisper specifically told the Snake Girl not to come, precisely because he feared her impulsiveness.

Now, she had secretly snuck over behind Whisper's back and was following Ma Yi Tian.

Although this woman spoke nicely, as if she had completely cleared Ma Yi Tian's name, could this matter truly be hidden from Lord Whisper?

When it came to accountability, wouldn't he still get punished?

The Snake Girl was at least an Evil God Proxy; her status and position were there.

What about himself?

He was just a believer.

Ma Yi Tian instantly felt a lot of pressure.

"Young Miss Snake Girl is joking, I didn't mean that. In this operation, Lord Whisper is personally taking action, I'm just worried that you might expose your whereabouts later, and it would be bad if Lord Whisper found out."

Ma Yi Tian racked his brains, maximizing the art of language.

I'm not trying to shift blame, I'm afraid Lord Whisper will discover you and have a bad impression of you.

"Heh heh, Ma Yi Tian, I never noticed before, but you speak really disgustingly. I originally prepared a big gift for you."

The Snake Girl pointed to a spot on the mountainside in the distance, "Perhaps even Lord Whisper hasn't noticed that in this small Jin'nan Mountain, there's actually an underage Earth-Grade Dragon."

"What? An Earth-Grade Dragon?" Ma Yi Tian's interest was immediately piqued.

"Lord Snake Girl, where is the Earth-Grade Dragon?" Instantly, Ma Yi Tian even changed his form of address.

The Snake Girl looked at Ma Yi Tian with a smile, "You'll know if you go and see. Don't worry, this credit is yours, I won't compete with you for it."

"Oh my, not at all, Lord Snake Girl, I am absolutely loyal to you, the sun and moon can attest!"

Ma Yi Tian blurted it out, although with the current lightning and thunder, the moon was completely invisible.

"Alright, pretty words are not as good as pretty deeds. If you can kill Lin Qi Ye and subdue an Earth-Grade Dragon, upgrading your seat is a sure thing."

"Then I thank you, Lord Snake Girl!"

...

The lightning illuminated the land of Jin'nan Mountain. Song Zhong looked at the Night Watcher command post being set up at the foot of the mountain and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems I'm not too late!"
