Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 880 - 50: The Addition of Strange Characters.

Tang Xian returned to the mining area once again.

This time, the people he brought with him were different, Yuan Wu, Tang, Bai Mansheng, and Tang Xiaojiu, Tang Feiji.

Bringing Bai Mansheng was to find out if the Sea God Cult in the southern islands had been infiltrated by the Eden Tribe.

According to Qi Yuan, the Eden Tribe was supposedly extinct on the surface, with only the Master of Eden still in the ruins of Eden. Occasionally, one might see a few Eden deer, but they are also precious species.

However, in reality, the Eden Tribe might have just blended in among the myriad beasts, and perhaps some unexpected characters are playing the roles of the Eden Tribe.

Like that elder of the Fox Tribe.

Maybe there are some such beings in the Sea God Cult as well.

So Bai Mansheng also had his own matters to attend to.

Time was no longer as pressing as before, so Tang Xian detailed the affairs of the mining area further.

Reappearing in the mining area, Bai Mansheng was on the southern island, preparing to lead the creatures of the island to the Northern Continent.

Meanwhile, Tang Xian and others appeared atop that mysterious tower.

Returning to this tower once again, Tang Xian immediately noticed the discrepancies all around.

His memory was extraordinary; he remembered returning everything to its original state when he left the tower. However, upon returning from the human world, he discovered traces of books on these shelves having been moved.

Some books were also out of place.

Tang Xian went up to the layer above the clouds, and upon looking, he immediately frowned.

"Indeed, someone has been here. Was it the Master of Eden?"

The topmost records detailed the actions of the Master of Eden against the beast gods, and all these notes had been swept clean.

Tang Xian pondered for a moment and roughly understood what had happened.

"No, not it. The very top layer only contains the spoken words of the Master of Eden. It didn't need to take those away; compared to the materials below, those are actually more valuable to preserve."

"What's recorded here is the script of the Eden Tribe, and it's very likely that the person who came could not understand it, couldn't discern which materials were more valuable, so they could only make a reference based on the hierarchy."

The only ones who could understand the Eden Tribe's script were the Eden Tribe itself.

Perhaps the human who once worked with the Master of Eden to create life could also understand it.

So, thinking this through, Tang Xian guessed who had been here.

A playful smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"If the Judge knew that all the benefits had been taken by the Master of Eden, and all the infamy was borne by itself, that it had been nothing but a tool from beginning to end, that scene would certainly be quite interesting."

Tang Xian did not care about the Judge taking away those scrolls and notes, as they were essentially just history.

He was just very curious if the Judge, after learning the truth, would do something out of the ordinary.

...

...

Three days later, Tang Xian and the others had left the island.

In that island filled with statues of the Zudun Giant, Tang Xian determined there were still some secrets hidden, which might have something to do with the last beast god, the Bird of Oblivion.

The journey continued northwest, towards the direction of the Hungry Sea.

Tang Xian was convinced that if Junlin could survive and escape the tribunal's pursuit, the most likely place it would go was the Hungry Sea.

This was an intuition. That proud and somewhat foolhardy Junlin would probably get up from where it fell and might think it had grown stronger because it had trained in the arena for hundreds of years.

Yet what Tang Xian did not expect was that before they even got close to the Hungry Sea, passing by an old place, they would find an unexpected surprise.

The pit, the sacred land.

When Tang Xian and the others arrived here, the sacred land had already become ruins and wreckage.

A man and a beast, two figures were fighting fiercely, an intense battle impossible to quell.

For Yuan Wu, Tang Feiji, and Tang, this was their first time seeing Junlin.

Its demon-like form, powerful and terrifying destructive force, immediately overturned their understanding of calamity-level beings.

Tang Feiji was very proud, but when he saw Junlin, whose speed was almost too fast to follow with the naked eye, constantly launching rapid attacks at low altitude, he couldn't help comparing himself to it.

Tang Xian did not expect to encounter Junlin here.

If there were no beast gods and no himself, Junlin would indeed be worthy of its name, as well as the dominance of ruling the world, so the figure confronting Junlin was a huge surprise to Tang Xian.

Gender: Male.

Morality Value: 80

Loved Things: Master, Meat.

Feared Things: Master.

Disliked Things: Decayed myriad beasts.

Current Needs Analysis:

[Exorcism: (95%)]

[Other (5%)]

The simple panel requirements amused Tang Xian.

Exorcism?

The current task is dealing with Junlin, and the disliked thing is dealing with decayed myriad beasts.

The word 'decayed' needs to be noted.

Tang Xian thought for a bit and roughly understood what was happening.

This kid is a bit chuunibyou, calling the decayed myriad beasts 'demons'. The act of confronting Junlin at this moment is then 'exorcism'.

With a morality value reaching 80, only Song Que could compare with him. But Tang Xian felt that this morality value was mostly based on an abhorrence of evil, different from Song Que's righteous indignation.

After some analysis, Tang Xian thought that the masked stranger, currently in fierce battle with Junlin nearby, was likely a character similar to an ancient exorcist.

Even though to Tang Feiji and the others, Junlin's speed and strength were already terrifying, Tang Xian immediately felt that Junlin's power and speed had dropped significantly.

As if it had been weakened by some force.

After trading blows for a long while, Junlin and the black-clothed stranger separated.

They had been dueling for three days and three nights.
