Chapter 589: Chapter 351 Chase and Escape!_3

“There’s something wrong with this contact,” Shen Ye said.

“There is indeed something wrong, corrupted by staying too long down below,” Yudelia said.

“I believe it’s more than that,” Shen Ye said.

“How so?” Yudelia asked.

“The members of the Shadow Brotherhood I have come into contact with are quite good—all task-oriented and very loyal to the Royal Family.”

Shen Ye positioned the head to face the corpse’s neck and carefully placed it there, before asking:

...

“Why would you trouble the four Brotherhood members who just arrived?”

“Whispers of the Dark” activated!

The corpse opened its eyes and spoke:

“I’m waiting here for the fleeing Norton, to inform the higher-ups as soon as they arrive and find a way to delay them.”

Everyone was shocked.

What they thought was the last safe escape route also had problems.

“Why betray the Royal Family?” Shen Ye asked.

“Betray? I didn’t betray the Royal Family, I’m just loyal to the new king,” the corpse said.

“Did you notify your superiors?” Yudelia asked eagerly.

The corpse gave no response.

“Did you notify your superiors?” Shen Ye asked.

“I did,” the corpse said.

“But this is the Undead Empire, the human’s new king should have no way to pursue us here, what’s the point of informing your superiors?” Shen Ye asked.

The corpse fell silent again.

“Won’t speak? Go and learn how to be a decent person,” Shen Ye said.

The corpse vanished from the cellar in an instant.

Facing the gaze of Yudelia and Xiao Mengyu, Shen Ye shrugged and said, “Everyone has some unique skills unknown to others, don’t they?”

“This is ‘Whispers of the Dark,’ the Undead Race’s divine skill…” Yudelia whispered softly.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The corpse suddenly started screaming:

“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”

“We have another secret Teleportation Array, right in the next room.”

“After notifying the superiors, a large Assassination Group loyal to the new king will come immediately to swiftly surround and kill Norton, to take his head!”

No sooner had the words been spoken.

Everyone felt a faint fluctuation in space.

—Assassin Group!

At that instant.

All their faces changed.

Shen Ye’s gaze dropped to the hand of the corpse.

It opened, revealing a glistening insignia.

A faint light flashed:

“‘Peril’ real life activation successful.”

“Enemy dropped ‘Oath of Loyalty Insignia’.”

“Only with this insignia can you prove that you’ve been meticulously vetted, an assassin loyal to the new king.”

Time seemed to stand still.

Shen Ye’s gaze shifted, glancing at Norton.

Norton still lay on the stretcher, his expression pained, blood seeping from his body.

Then he looked at Xiao Mengyu and Yudelia.

Xiao Mengyu’s hand was on the hilt of her sword, while Yudelia had taken out her Magic Wand.

There was no choice but to fight!

But the opponents that had been sent were a large team specifically arranged to assassinate Norton.

Could they win?

Moreover, Norton was gravely injured at the moment.

Even if they could win, the fluctuations from the Techniques would be enough to kill Norton!

“Bang!”

The door was pushed open.

Someone whispered urgently, “Where is the target?”

In the blink of an eye.

Norton, Yudelia, and Xiao Mengyu vanished at the same time.

Even the corpse on the ground had disappeared.

Only the insignia, picked up by Shen Ye and pinned to his chest, remained as he responded:

“I didn’t stop them; they just ran out onto the street outside, trying to go to another Undead City through the town’s Teleportation Array.”

Several figures quickly arrived at the entrance of the cellar.

Looking inside, they saw mottled bloodstains on the walls of the cellar, as if a battle had taken place.

The werewolf standing in the center of the cellar, his clothes covered in blood, hand clutching his shoulder, appeared injured and in pain.

On his chest indeed was a newly-awarded identity insignia.

This insignia was freshly issued.

Those who received the insignia had been subjected to the “Loyalty Brand” to confirm their true allegiance to the new king.

The leader of the Assassin Group immediately said loudly:

“Quick! Disregard the influence of the Undead!”

“All-out assault to the transmission point in this Undead Town, we must intercept Norton, we must kill him!”

The assassins responded with a roar, rushing out of the cabin towards the center of the city.

In the room, only the injured werewolf remained.

The werewolf waited a few more breaths, then jumped out of the cellar, pulling off his cape, and tucked it into the Ring.

The handsome vampire Baxter appeared in an instant.

He climbed out of another window and fled quickly in the opposite direction.

In the Immortal Country.

Norton lay on the Stele.

Xiao Mengyu and Yudelia stood on each side.

“Why don’t I see Shen Ye? Could it be that there’s a limit to the number who can be saved?” Xiao Mengyu asked anxiously.

Lines of tiny luminescent text appeared in front of her:

“That’s not the case; Shen Ye voluntarily gave up the teleportation, he has his own methods to deal with the current situation.”

Xiao Mengyu could no longer restrain herself, her hand on her sword, she exclaimed:

“But he’s on his own! How could he possibly—”

“Trust him, he’s the one who passed the test with you, and since he has completed his mission, he also has a chance to save himself.”

He can save himself too?

Only then did Xiao Mengyu feel relieved.
