...
Seeing this mission, Su Xiao suddenly felt that this might be an opportunity to temporarily abandon evil and turn to good in terms of Void Tree Reputation? Moreover, this mission was clearly not a sign of the Void Tree's favor towards him. Instead, it was because he frequently completed 'Abyss Missions,' which made his judgment within the Void Tree far too complex.
Therefore, after obtaining the [World Tree Seed] this time, this mission was immediately triggered. In the initial regulations, there was clearly a rule targeting such complex judgment scenarios.
Furthermore, with a Void Tree Reputation of -???? for so long, there might be problems in the future. If he could clear it to 0 this time, then the related hidden dangers would inevitably be cleared as well.
Su Xiao opened his Reincarnation Mark and pulled Kaisa into the team. After a while, Kaisa joined the team and spoke in the team channel:
Kaisa: "My dear friend, what good news brings you to Kaisa?"
Bai Ye: "[Mission Share, World Mission: World Tree]."
Kaisa: "Excellent!"
...
The mission execution members immediately changed from just Su Xiao to two avatars: Su Xiao and Kaisa. With Kaisa's cunning, how could he not know the potential risks of having a Void Tree Reputation of -???? for so long?
Su Xiao already had a slight idea of how to complete this mission.
For now, he had another matter to attend to. It was time to go with the three old immortals plus Leshima to invite their old friend, Shenfu, who they had a life-and-death bond with.
As for where Shenfu had gone, Su Xiao had no news yet. Coupled with this old friend's understanding of his tracking methods, he was the most difficult violator for him to hunt. The good news was that he had help for this matter.
Three hours later, at the top floor of the main tower of the Soul Clock Tower Headquarters, West District, Royal Capital Starlight City.
"So, you're saying you want me to help you find traces of Shenfu?"
The Soul Master, who had changed to a bald hairstyle and now had eight brain holes on his head, spoke with a grim expression. Compared to having eight brain holes opened, he cared more about his completely altered hairstyle. His golden hair had departed along with him as each 'Spirit Hole' was opened.
Why were all members of the Soul Clock Tower bald? To show off their brain holes? Of course not. It was because releasing soul power in this way inevitably led to abnormal hair follicle growth on the scalp, commonly known as hereditary baldness.
"Heh~"
The somewhat despondent Soul Master let out a cold laugh. The Plague Maiden, Aoluola, whom he had tricked miserably, almost couldn't help but laugh. She had been in a very good mood these past few days.
"Why should I help you?"
Hearing this, Baha landed on Su Xiao's shoulder and said, "Your master is going to set off with us to the 'Sea of Life.'"
"That's going to your death."
Clearly, the Soul Master already knew how terrifying a place the 'Sea of Life' was, because he was also boarding the ship this evening.
"We need help."
Baha's smile became meaningful.
"Impossible. That old divine stick won't board the ship."
The Soul Master naturally didn't believe that Shenfu would board the ship to the 'Sea of Life.' Instead, staying in the empire for the next few days was the perfect opportunity to reap benefits. All those who could contend with him were going to the 'Sea of Life.'
"My boss, your master, the Primordial Origin, the old beast of the Lune family, and the otherworldly anomaly Leshima—five of them will go together to invite him aboard."
Hearing Baha's words, the Soul Master's eyes lit up.
"Yes, that's right. He must board the ship. Let me think, let me think carefully."
The Soul Master began to ponder. As a prey hunted by Shenfu, he was the one in this world most likely to track Shenfu in return.
Shenfu was indeed an ultra-old yinbi. The problem was that now a group of ultra-old yinbis on their side was preparing to scheme against him. Especially since Kaisa was already ready to give Shenfu a goblin jump.
