Chapter 55: Adding Insult to Injury
Bubu Wang returned. Because he was in a state of environmental integration, only Su Xiao, who had just touched him, could see Bubu.
Bubu Wang brought back a critical piece of information: they could no longer cooperate with Shenfu. The reason was that the current situation had been planned long ago by Shenfu and the Guild Leader, Rogge.
A few hours ago, when Shenfu went to the Warm Forest to collect materials needed for the Sun Potion, he had a communication with Guild Leader Rogge.
At that time, Bubu Wang was near Rogge and overheard the entire conversation.
The matter was that, before entering the Sun Gate, Shenfu and Guild Leader Rogge had already formed an alliance and were searching everywhere for possible key holders.
Although the five keys had different characteristics, when two key holders approached within a certain distance, they could sense each other.
Shenfu originally did not know that Su Xiao had a key. During the World War, when he reached the sixth floor of the Sun Temple, Shenfu vaguely sensed another key nearby through the "Penitent Thorn Whip."
In reality, Su Xiao was on the seventh floor of the Sun Temple at the time. Although he had the "Ouroboros Slab," his compatibility with it was too low, so he wasn't considered a true key holder.
Shenfu's original plan was to seize the World Core in the Sun Temple and hand it over to the Sanctuary Paradise, alleviating the awkward position he was in as a newly turned Violator.
Shenfu only wanted to gain power to achieve a certain goal. Switching back and forth between being a Violator and a Contractor was acceptable to him.
After sensing the "Ouroboros Slab," Shenfu changed his mind. He abandoned the struggle for the World Core and chose to cooperate with Su Xiao instead.
After that, the Sun Gate team gathered five people and opened the Sun Gate. Not long after they set out, they were ambushed by the Royal Maid, and Hugh Siro was taken away by the Wailing Wraith.
This was an accident, not part of Guild Leader Rogge's plan. In fact, it disrupted Rogge's plan, as Hugh Siro was a crucial element in it.
Because of this, Guild Leader Rogge immediately tore off his mask and summoned the Sun Warriors. He knew what the Wailing Wraith was. If Hugh Siro were actually killed by that monster, his plan would fail.
Up to this point, the cooperation between Guild Leader Rogge and Shenfu was still ongoing. However, the Sun Warriors were unaware of this plan. Except for Guild Leader Rogge, everyone else was an enemy, which is why Shenfu was accidentally injured.
Shenfu was injured, but he didn't take it too seriously. The reason was that before coming to the Holy Land, Guild Leader Rogge had given him an artifact as a token of cooperation.
Guild Leader Rogge and Shenfu split up. Shenfu was responsible for killing Death Shadow Ovya and seizing the Blazing Sun Disk.
Among the five keys, the Blazing Sun Disk was the most important. Of course, the other four also had different characteristics. Aside from the Blazing Sun Disk, the Ouroboros Slab was also special, as it had the most diverse functions.
Shenfu failed to kill Death Shadow Ovya because Su Xiao had been following him as he retreated. With Su Xiao behind him, as long as Shenfu wasn't out of his mind, he wouldn't think about trying to kill Ovya again. That was simply impossible.
As a result, Shenfu had to settle for the next best thing. He planned to find an opportunity to seize the Ouroboros Slab first, and then use it to locate the Blazing Sun Disk. The Ouroboros Slab could 100% accomplish this.
There were two key pieces of intelligence.
