Chapter 49

The blood-red sunset was merely the lingering reluctance before death, and the breeze was like the last gasp of a dying man.

In the tallest building in the center of Tianchuan City, two people stood by the window of an office, gazing at the place where the sunset had disappeared.

One of them was a female student in a school uniform, who was none other than Scorpion.

Scorpion bowed to the man standing with his back to her and said, "I wonder when Lord Iron Tail summoned me."

This man was Scorpion's superior, Iron Tail.

Iron Tail said coldly, "Have you found the entrance to that secret realm yet?"

Scorpion shook her head and said, "I am incompetent and have not yet found the entrance to the Mystic Mirror Realm within the Inner Court."

Iron Tail's voice was like the clashing of metal, crisp and cold, as he said, "The old fossils in the Tianzhen Inner Court are really tight-lipped. They don't even let the front-line reserve team members enter the Mystic Mirror Realm. It seems you have no choice but to take action against the main team members. I don't care what means you use, but you must find out the location of the entrance to the Mystic Mirror Realm from the main team members. The Illusory Mirror City, which appears once every ten thousand years, is about to reappear. Inside it is the legendary-level patterned weapon 'Ruyi Dream,' which Lord Dragon Emperor wants. With this legendary-level patterned weapon, the Lord can break through to a higher realm and enter the council of Death's elders. Unlike now, we have to be cautious of the black hands of the Ghost Emperor and his people."

Scorpion pondered for a moment and said, "From the information we have, the entrance to the Mystic Mirror Realm may not be in the Inner Court. All clues point to the Tianzhen Mountains. Should we take a two-pronged approach?"

Iron Tail nodded and said, "Yes, good. I will send some brothers to assist you."

Scorpion's proud heart stirred, and she said, "Father, do you look down on your daughter's abilities? Since I can move freely in the Inner Court, the outer court of Tianzhen is no more than a flat ground to me."

Iron Tail shook his head, turned around, and looked at his little daughter with a bit of affection, saying, "You underestimate the world. Tianzhen Academy is ranked at the bottom among the various academies in China, but you must understand that the ranking does not represent the true strength of an ancient academy. There are so many ancient existences in China. They have been enduring since the ancient battle, and their depth is not to be underestimated."

Scorpion snorted and said dismissively, "Father, I know that. Even the inner circle of Death has several disciples from ancient hidden schools that even Lord Dragon Emperor looks up to. This shows how many ancient hidden forces there are in the world. But Tianzhen Academy, from ancient times to now, is just a name of an ancient noble academy. Even with the existence of the Inner Court, it can barely squeeze into the second-tier academies in China, and at best, it can be considered a slightly stronger academy. There are so many powerful ancient schools in the world; why should I fear a mere outer court of a small academy?"

Iron Tail did not want to dampen his daughter's high and proud spirit; his lineage needed this mindset for cultivation. As long as the goal is achieved, why should he care how she views the world?

But there were some things he needed to make her see clearly. The world was not as simple as she thought; it was far more complex, a depth that even he did not know where it ended. Only those who had reached his level began to touch the true corner of the world.

Thinking of this, Iron Tail said, "What you see in the outer court of Tianzhen is like what you see in the Hua family. Even in my understanding, the Hua family is just a small branch of a minor ancient clan, a nouveau riche that appeared only in the last thousand years. If that were true, the Hua family would have been crushed when the fifth-generation head of the Hua family discovered that thing."

Scorpion fell silent, understanding what her father meant. She was about to take her leave but was stopped by Iron Tail, who said, "Perhaps in the next few days, someone will pry open the shell of the Hua family and see what's inside. If things go badly, the Hua family's affairs will come to an end in the next few days. Don't you want to see how that guy who humiliated you ends up?"

Thinking of that hateful guy, Scorpion felt a sense of superiority. That guy still didn't know he was just an outer member of Death, even when the team was about to be wiped out. He even dared to try to uncover the truth about their team's destruction. Lying low and plotting revenge? Or something else?

As an outer member, he should have the awareness to be cannon fodder. These people really lived a miserable life. He was the most pitiful of all.

"Dares to humiliate me? I want to see how you are humiliated and killed by that old man Hua."

Thinking of this, Scorpion felt a sense of satisfaction and said, "Father, I believe Shadow 7 has made all the necessary preparations, right?"

Iron Tail nodded and said, "Yes, everything is ready. Who would have thought he was Death's shadow? Let the Hua family and those people fight to the death. We can obtain that thing without spilling a drop of blood. Lord Dragon Emperor's strategy is truly brilliant."

Seeing the fanatical look in her father's eyes when he mentioned Lord Dragon Emperor, a hint of disgust flashed through Scorpion's mind. She did not want to be a brainwashed zombie, devoid of any self.

Thinking of how the poor guy was being toyed with by the organization, she couldn't help but feel a sense of triumph. The Dragon Group never rescued the old bandit; their silencing was the organization's arrangement. Why would they take such an unnecessary step? There were countless ways to deceive that poor guy, and a strong person at Lord Dragon Emperor's level had even more means.

The empty toilet echoed with the sound of leather shoes, like the敲打寂静的死亡之音.

When the Black Spider reached the end, there was no one inside. The toilet was only so big, and he was the only one there. That kid had come in, hadn't he? Could he have broken through the wall and hidden in the women's restroom?

At that moment, a seductive girl came out of the women's restroom. As she passed by the Black Spider, she reached out and pinched his butt, causing the Black Spider to let out a high-pitched scream.

The girl then seductively wiggled her hips and said, "I didn't expect your butt to be so small, yet so satisfying. Sister really likes it."

In such a large campus, there were many seductive people, including those female wolves who liked women. The Black Spider wanted to lash out at this female wolf but didn't want to argue with someone who couldn't be reasoned with.

The female wolf, while walking, scratched her crotch and muttered, "Damn, this girl's pussy is so tight, it makes me so itchy."

However, after saying this, the female wolf hurriedly sped up and left, looking a bit flustered.

Looking at the female wolf's back, the Black Spider felt a sense of unease. It was one thing for a female wolf to like women, but he had never seen such a bold one who would scratch herself in public. It felt like a middle-aged uncle in a girl's disguise.

How could a man in drag deceive a 7th-level awakened ability user? Besides, she was a woman, and whether she was genuine could be seen at a glance. That couldn't be disguised!

At that moment, a series of terrified screams came from the women's restroom. Before the Black Spider could react, the Ground Spider came out of the women's restroom with a dark face, followed by a series of curses: "You're insane! You actually dug a hole from the men's restroom to the women's restroom to steal. You're psychologically twisted to the extreme."

Then a cleaning auntie, holding up her pants, chased out, cursing.

The Ground Spider now had the urge to kill and silence. He never thought his reputation would be ruined here. How could he face his pig friends and dog buddies in the future?
