With a relaxed and carefree mindset, Wen Yu strolled through the streets of the Beijing gathering place.
After sending off Qin Tian, the remaining matters of the “sea king control plan” had little to do with Wen Yu—of course, there was also the possibility that Lin Haifeng would pin the blame on him.
However, as long as Lin Haifeng wasn't out of his mind, he wouldn't take the risk of incurring Wen Yu's wrath—Wen Yu was indeed suppressing a pent-up rage with nowhere to vent; all he needed was a simple trigger!
At that moment, Wen Yu was completely in the mindset of a spectator watching a stage play.
Moreover, it must be said that being a bystander was definitely more enjoyable than participating in all these troublesome matters!
...
After the “attack incident,” the Beijing gathering place seemed to be on high alert.
The originally crowded outer city was now deserted, replaced by rows of fully armed soldiers.
Wen Yu's attire and the little soul beast floating on his shoulder were well-known in the Beijing gathering place, and the military certainly recognized him, so no one foolish enough approached to disturb Wen Yu's leisurely walk.
Unknowingly, time passed the seven o'clock mark.
...
When the massive structure of the Eternal Sky City lit up with countless lights above, the situation regarding Qin Tian finally came to a conclusion.
In another square in the outer city, Qin Tian's face was prominently displayed on a wanted poster hanging high on a building.
Wen Yu squeezed through the crowd and focused on Qin Tian's wanted notice.
It read:
Qin Tian: Sequence Four.
Originally a member of the lone wanderers' mutual aid union, but secretly affiliated with the remnants of the Cult of the Demon Worshippers.
This hunting plan, initiated by Sequence Four Qin Tian and Sequence Ninety-Seven Xie Yan, was a premeditated assassination plot targeting the highest leader of the human race—Lin Haifeng.
Xie Yan has been apprehended, but Qin Tian remains at large.
A joint wanted notice has been issued by the human race and the oceanic tribe, with a bounty of...
Wen Yu didn't bother reading further.
Qin Tian...
Remnants of the Cult of the Demon Worshippers...
Wen Yu naturally knew what was going on, but now that the wanted notice had been issued, it no longer mattered what reason was used to pursue Qin Tian.
...
Sauntering back to the Three Skull Society headquarters.
Seeing the inquiring looks from Yang Hong and Wang Fu Cai, Wen Yu silently waved his hand.
Yang Hong and Wang Fu Cai wisely did not ask any more questions.
Returning to his room, life resumed as usual for Wen Yu.
Eating, sleeping, and watching a few spirit pets play around.
However, secretly, Wen Yu had already made all the necessary plans.
Three days!
In three days, Wen Yu would leave this place and very likely never return!
...
“Cult of the Demon Worshippers?”
Hearing the Sea King's question, Lin Haifeng slowly nodded.
“Yes, it’s the Cult of the Demon Worshippers, an organization that worships the demonic clan. Before the Demon Realm Gate opened, the cult thrived for a while. I originally thought I had eradicated it, but unexpectedly, it has resurfaced.”
“This matter is my responsibility, and I apologize for the trouble caused to your excellency the Sea King.”
Lin Haifeng spoke softly, and his attitude was quite good—this eased some of the Sea King's anger.
The Sea King sensed that most of his injuries had healed and glanced at the four remaining tribe members beside him. After a while, he sighed in frustration.
“Have you caught that Sequence Four?”
Lin Haifeng shook his head.
“We didn’t catch him, but a wanted notice has been issued.”
“What about the one who has been apprehended?”
“He is still under interrogation.”
The Sea King nodded, his face expressionless, lost in thought.
After a long pause, the Sea King spoke again.
“I heard that Sequence Four seems to have some relation to Sequence Two...”
“No, Tang Haofei has confirmed that Sequence Two is unaware of Sequence Four's true identity, and upon learning the truth, Sequence Two was very angry.”
