With the bhikkhuni making the trip, most of the undead in Luoyang City had been cleared. The remaining few who were relatively far away and hadnāt been cleared didnāt pose much of a threat.
āHeās almost there,ā Cave Era said to Hermit as she sensed the location of the temporal pocket watch.
Hermitās eyes were filled with excitement as though he was looking forward to seeing the process of the bhikkhuni becoming a devil.
Just as the bhikkhuni was about to reach Wei Ge, she suddenly stopped.
Here it comes!?
Hermitās heart raced as adrenaline involuntarily pumped through his veins. His palms turned moist from excitement.
Suddenly, the bhikkhuni turned around without any warning and walked back the way she came.
āWhatās going on? Isnāt Wei Ge there?ā Hermit was slightly taken aback as he hurriedly asked Cave Era.
āHe should be there⦠The temporal pocket watch is thereā¦ā Cave Era felt that something was amiss.
āNo, heās not there,ā Hermit said with certainty. He kept looking around, but he didnāt discover anything.
As for the bhikkhuni, she was getting faster and faster. She had already rushed out of Luoyang and was heading straight for them.
āWei Ge, come out. I know you are here,ā Hermit shouted with a frown.
āSince you know where I am, come over yourself.ā Wei Geās voice came from behind them.
Hermitās body was like a phantom as he shot out a cold beam. The cold beam shattered the forest, but Wei Ge was nowhere to be seen.
āYour Excellency Hermit, thatās not right of you. You actually treat one of your own like this. From the looks of it, I should let you have my title of Monarch Bee.ā Wei Geās voice came from another spot.
This time, Cave Era used Time Acceleration to reach the spot, but she still didnāt see anyone.
Hermit and Cave Era exchanged looks and saw the surprise in each otherās eyes.
It was impossible for Wei Ge to have such abilities. The Guardian, Balrog, he had contracted was fire-elemental. Its explosive strength was very potent, but it shouldnāt be good at speed.
āBalrog, come out,ā Hermit shouted coldly.
Balrog was a Guardian who came from the League of Guardians. He was a member of the League of Guardians to begin with. Even if Wei Ge wanted to betray him, Balrog would still accept the order.
Without Balrog, Wei Ge was nothing.
āAre you looking for it?ā Wei Geās voice sounded again, but this time, he walked out from behind a boulder.
He extended one hand and pointed his fingers at the sky. In his palm was a dancing, mysterious flame. The flame looked like an enchanting woman dancing. It exuded danger and mystery.
āTerror grade?ā Hermit and Cave Eraās expressions changed when they saw the flames. Wei Ge had actually advanced Balrog to the Terror grade. This was originally impossible. Balrogās weakness didnāt seem to be resolvable to date.
āBalrog, what are you doing? Immediately terminate the contract with Wei Ge.ā Cave Era still wanted to order Balrog, but Balrog didnāt react at all. It continued dancing in Wei Geās palm.
āThereās no need to say another word. Why do you think I chose the Mythical Balrog? Itās not because she will be strong in the future, but because only then will I have a chance of controlling her. I like to be in control of everything,ā Wei Ge said calmly.
āA pity. You did something dangerous that you canāt control,ā Hermit said as a collapsible fan appeared in his hand. With a move of the fan, a fan-shaped beam shot at Wei Ge.
Wei Ge retracted his fingers as the flames in his palm shattered, turning into purple flames that enveloped his body.
At that moment, the beam had already arrived in front of him. Beams of light shot into the purple flames, boring open huge holes through the humanoid figure inside, but there werenāt any of Wei Geās tragic cries.
Soon, the purple flames returned to their humanoid form. They appeared like a fluid purple-flamed robe that Wei Ge donned.
āThe first impression flames give is heat and explosion, but thatās not all of it. Flames also have a gentle side.ā As Wei Ge spoke, Cave Era had already used Time Acceleration to appear in front of him. With her hands and feet, she struck Wei Ge repeatedly with Terror-grade power.
Wei Geās body swayed like flames as he dodged Cave Eraās extremely fast attack. The attack that he couldnāt dodge struck Wei Ge, but it only shook the flames and quickly returned to its original state.
Wei Ge seemed to be dancing a gorgeous tango amidst the flames. Hermit and Cave Eraās combined attacks failed to injure him at all.
The flames were like nothingness and didnāt have any strength. Any force that struck it only made the flames bend around and not injure him.
āI only extracted the nothingness of fire, not its fiery intensity. I do whatās unexpected. Even you wonāt be able to harm me after I turn into nothingness,ā Wei Ge said calmly.
āWhy have you betrayed us?ā Hermit knew that he had to finish off Wei Ge before the bhikkhuni arrived. Otherwise, once she came, she would become a devil upon approaching Wei Ge. When that happened, even they would probably perish.
āThe temporal pocket watch you gave me canāt save my life,ā Wei Ge said.
āIf you betrayed us because of this, we can negotiate nicely. Now that you have the right to negotiate with us, you can naturally receive the treatment you deserve. In the future, the league will still need talent like you,ā Hermit said.
āIām just telling you that I know of this matter, but that isnāt the cause.ā Wei Ge directly denied Hermit.
āThen whatās the reason?ā Cave Era couldnāt help but ask. She originally imagined that Wei Ge had betrayed them because he knew of their plan.
Wei Ge looked up at the starry sky and said, āBecause from the beginning, I was just a devil who wanted to destroy devils.ā
āHaha, what a joke. Arenāt your hands stained with human blood? Are you going to tell me that you are actually a good person?ā Hermit laughed.
Wei Ge said indifferently, āIāve never been a good person. Iām just a devil who likes to play games with devils. Now, itās time to end this game.ā
āYouāre right. Itās time to end this game.ā Hermit took a step forward. The surrounding mountain ranges, forests, and rivers suddenly lit up.
The matter in the natural worldāmountains, rivers, wind, and fireāactually formed a formation similar to the Eight Trigrams.
āDo you think I came to Luoyang without making any preparations? I originally left a backup plan to deal with An Tianzuo and Zhou Wen, but now, Iāll use it on you. Wind, fire, and everything in the world are in my Myriad Form Eight Trigrams Array. Even if you turn into nothingness, flames need a medium. A flame wisp like yours wonāt be able to escape my Myriad Form Eight Trigrams Array. It will only lead to destruction!ā Accompanying Hermitās voice, the surrounding mountains and rivers lit up. The power formed by everything surrounded Wei Ge from all directions.
āHave you ever heard of a single spark wrecking a plain?ā The flaming muslin over Wei Geās body fluttered like the purple flames of a bonfire that surged into the sky.. It was beautiful and dangerous.
