Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Trading (Thanks to the Sun and Moon in the Pot, Universe in the Sleeve. The Silver Alliance of the Boss!)

Cadlyan walked alone on the pitch-black streets.

As she walked, she cursed in her mind, "That lunatic! Freak! Who does he think he is? He even wants to hunt the members of the Chasing Cup Sect."

Sadly, she had no choice.

Being driven out, she had become bait.

She didn’t know how long she had been unconscious, but tonight’s moon was significantly brighter than before.

Cadlyan could only walk silently while praying for Da Mo’s protection.

"Woof woof!"

Just then, she heard a dog bark.

From the end of the street, several men in black, holding large dogs, suddenly turned the corner.

Under the dim, coal gas street lamps, those hunting dogs roared excitedly, constantly drooling, their heads splitting apart to reveal dense, sharp, white teeth.

These were the sinister beasts bred by the Chasing Cup Sect, possessing a more sensitive sense of smell than their counterparts, and thus most suitable for tracking people.

Seeing Cadlyan, the men in black couldn’t help but reveal a look of surprise, and one of them immediately performed an unnamed technique, sending a signal to the sect.

"Damn it."

Cadlyan didn’t want to fall into the hands of these madmen and had no choice but to turn around and run.

According to another madman’s plan, her route was very close to the ambush ring.

The other party had set the ambush in an abandoned factory. If a conflict arose, she might find an opportunity to escape!

Cadlyan ran swiftly and soon saw the rundown gateway of the abandoned factory.

Her eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she climbed over and rushed into an empty plant structure.

Bang bang!

The next moment, doors and windows shattered, and those pursuers poured in like a tide.

"Damn it, there are no traps or helpers at all!"

Seeing this, Cadlyan’s face was filled with despair, "That lowly and shameless wretch, yes, he plans to have me die at these people’s hands to cover up the true nature of acquiring the documents? How foolish of me!"

"Cadlyan, hand over the documents!"

Among the black-clad men, a middle-aged man sneered, "Otherwise... we’ll slice off your flesh to eat, piece by piece! You know, the last victim we had, we ate her for three days and three nights! Those cries imbued with pain and despair are always the best seasoning for a meal."

"You lunatics!" Cadlyan cursed furiously, already contemplating suicide.

She absolutely did not want to become these lunatics’ ’sacrifice’.

However, the next moment, a somewhat familiar voice rang out: "Mordo..."

In the chant of an Ancient Sumerian spell, invisible ripples spread out.

One by one, the hounds fell down, as if reaped by an invisible scythe of the Grim Reaper in the void.

Following them were the men in black who controlled them.

"There’s an ambush!"

The leading middle-aged man roared. Within the Chasing Cup Sect, there was a strict hierarchy, starting from the initial disciples to the bronze, silver, gold cups, and finally the Holy Grail Great Shepherd.

He was just a mere bronze cup, and against soul reaping, he was equally powerless.

Fortunately, being servants of the Master of Black Blood, they were rich in Magic Potion.

The middle-aged man bit into a blood capsule hidden in his teeth, letting the sweet, blood-red Magic Potion flood his throat. A faint glow surrounded his body, finally withstanding this attack.

"Eh? Not bad, the Magic Potion!"

Zhong Shenxiu slowly walked out from the darkness. He was wearing a black robe and a hood, covering his face and leaving only a shadow, "To withstand my greeting, although only by using Magic Potion, not bad..."

"Unknown mysterious person, do not rashly get involved in matters of the Chasing Cup Sect, otherwise, you will feel the eternal despair!"

The middle-aged man’s legs trembled slightly, but he managed to utter the threatening words.

His response was a curse from Zhong Shenxiu, "Mo duo..."

The next moment, the middle-aged man suddenly felt his spirit linked to an immensely terrible abyss, as mysterious, horrifying images filled with evil information continuously invaded his mind.

Even worse was an indescribable contamination that seemed to come from facing a great existence!

"No!"

The middle-aged man wailed, kneeling on the ground, gouging out his own eyes and deafening his ears with his trembling hands, as if trying to isolate himself from those images and mumblings.

But it was in vain!

His body began to swell, with even more horrific things squirming under his flesh.

"The same curse, different effects, you are a Mad Mage!"

Even more frightened than the middle-aged man was Cadlyan.

Her gaze towards Zhong Shenxiu was filled with fear, "Have I actually been in the company of a real madman for so long?"

"Hehe..."

Zhong Shenxiu laughed without replying.

Maintaining the identity of a Mad Mage indeed had a deterring power.

After all, who would dare provoke a mysterious person whose face screamed, ’I’m extremely insane’?

"What kind of horror and madness are hidden in your spirit to turn him into this?"

Cadlyan looked at the middle-aged man, who was kneeling and struggling continually, with blood flowing from his eyes and ears, and asked in horror.

Zhong Shenxiu did not respond, just silently watching the scene, until the middle-aged man died, his flesh turning into a puddle of pus.

Suddenly, he looked towards the main entrance of the warehouse.

There, one after another, robed figures emerged, the leader with a shriveled and wrinkled head.

"Holy Grail... Macy..."

Cadlyan called out the name of the person with dread.

Within the Chasing Cup Sect, those who could hold the position of the Holy Grail were at least ’ascenders’!

But at that moment, Macy looked at Zhong Shenxiu with apprehension, "How long... since I have seen a real Mad Mage..."

Even the cultists fear a true madman!

"Jie jie..."

Zhong Shenxiu cackled, seemingly oblivious to Macy, rummaging through several robed corpses, collecting spoils of war.

Macy frowned but knew that intimidation and threats meant nothing to a madman!

So, he spoke slowly, "This woman, and everything she possesses, are ours!"

"Agreed!"

Zhong Shenxiu nodded, taking out a piece of parchment from his bosom and displaying the cup symbol, "Then... what can you offer in exchange? I want knowledge, the more profound, the better!"

’Indeed, a real madman, disregarding even his own sect... Mad Mages, such is the group that worships chaos,’ Macy thought to himself while signaling to his subordinates, "In haste, we didn’t bring many mystical tomes, only some fragments of ’The Low Whispers of the Worm’ and half a manuscript of ’The Secret Tome of True Blood’... If you want more, give us some time, and we can trade... hehe, we never hinder those curious about acquiring mystical knowledge, in fact, we encourage it."

"No need, let’s trade!"

Zhong Shenxiu said, "I’ll count to three, and we’ll throw our items to each other!"

’So simple?’

A flicker of surprise crossed Macy’s mind, but he nodded agreeably, "Agreed!"

He retrieved a manuscript-like document from his bosom and some black pages from his subordinates.

"One... three!"

Zhong Shenxiu, smiling broadly, tossed the parchment scroll into mid-air, seeing Macy’s astonished face but watching as he too threw his tomes.

The next moment, a swift incantation resonated in the warehouse, "Mo duo..."
