Chapter 566 84 City of the Dead (5)

Since the Illuminati received Concubine Xue’s “membership application”, their 200 million years of survival experience have told them that there is a high probability that some unknown conspiracy is hidden in it.

Based on this consideration, the Illuminati has never stopped investigating Concubine Xue’s team since the first day she joined the organization.

After consultation, “Lord of Twilight” Fitzroy and “Lord of Dusk” Sardin assigned her the task of capturing the undead who escaped from the “Sealed Temple” in the underworld.

This is equivalent to throwing out a bait.

It is just to see her quality.

If she simply wanted to “destroy the Illuminati”, she would most likely terminate the mission immediately after discovering the soul in the girl’s body.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the Illuminati’s attempt to bring “evil” Sieg back to the world in the East Continent looks like a powerful strategic weapon.

Although the advent ceremony ultimately failed, this powerful “weapon” can never be returned to the Illuminati.

But unexpectedly, Concubine Xue, like a peripheral member who really wanted to join the club, successfully sent the spirit of "Evil" Sieg back to the Temple of Anubis.

This seriously exceeded the expectations of "Lord of Dusk" Sadin.

In Sadin's eyes, "Evil" Sieg was not an indispensable and important resource.

After confirming that the space-time rift in the East Continent still existed, he had become a bait that could be abandoned at any time.

After ordinary members completed this task, they would inevitably be considered to have "combined ability and loyalty".

However, considering Concubine Xue's background, especially the peripheral member who recommended her to join the club, he once mentioned that this person had good martial arts and brainpower.

"Lord of Dusk" Sadin still had a considerable degree of precaution against her. This was because he knew in his heart what he had done to the Tang Dynasty in the East.

He had an instinctive fear of all people in the East Continent.

Sadin's response strategy was to "put Concubine Xue's team into the Hades Palace and seal them forever".

In this way, the future troubles could be eliminated without scaring off other strong people who wanted to join the Illuminati. After all, if this matter were to be leaked, "the mission was completed but the leader still killed him" would not be a good thing for the gang.

But he never expected that the real target of this Donglu assassin was actually himself.

(When did they start to target me?!)

(Why didn't I see any signs!)

In the narrow passage, Concubine Xue raised the dagger in her hand.

She did not stab Mutu, but stabbed into the heart of Green Eyebrow beside her. Blood gushed out, but after a short period of red, the blood flowing out of Green Eyebrow's body quickly moved towards the green.

The gushing green blood attached to the dagger, making the dagger glow with a creepy green fluorescence in the narrow passage.

Before joining the organization, the Illuminati believers knew that Concubine Xue and others were assassins, and they also knew what abilities each of her subordinates had.

In the collected archives, Green Eyebrow's identity has long been similar to that of Concubine Xue's maid, and her specialty is only some skills in preparing assassin potions.

Frankly speaking, this ability is not excellent.

Of course, it is not bad either.

Most of the high-level believers agreed to carry out the joining mission together because of Concubine Xue's face. Even in the eyes of many believers, they did not understand why Concubine Xue would choose Green Eyebrow, a "burden" when she already had Tang Qianye.

When Loki and his men appeared in front of Osiris, "Lord of Dusk" Sardin thought he had won the victory, and did not think about why the powerful Heath Brancher died in the Temple of Anubis, while Green Eyebrow, who was regarded as a burden, survived successfully.

The answer to this question was finally revealed until now.

Green Eyebrow is a "medicine man".

Low-level alchemists use crucibles to refine potions, high-level ones use psychic energy, and in the mysterious Eastern Continent, the top poison masters use their own bodies to refine poisons.

Every day, when they are exposed to a large number of different monsters, the poison master will inevitably absorb a large amount of toxins into his body while boiling the venom. If the poison master is also a practitioner who draws air into the body, the venom will be continuously washed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and finally merged with the blood and meridians of the poison master's body.

This kind of practitioner is called "medicine man" in the East Continent.

During the Kaiyuan prosperous period, the world was peaceful. All cities in the East Tang Dynasty were prosperous, and the poison masters transformed themselves into medicine men more to configure spiritual medicines and help practitioners break through the obstacles in their realm.

However, with the frequent occurrence of wars within the kingdom, in order to kill powerful foreign enemies more efficiently, the legalists began to study how to use medicine men to develop more powerful toxins.

Green Eyebrow is the most powerful one among them.

It is now impossible to verify who Green Eyebrow's biological father and mother are. When Xue Fei's superior, the legal teacher Gu Huai'an, codenamed 'Gui Shi', rescued him from the mouth of the wild dog, all the skin on her back had been licked by the wild dog's long tongue with spikes.

Looking at the silent village behind him, Gu Huai'an didn't know how much effort the 3-year-old girl had used to crawl all the way from the lifeless village to the center of the woods.

The war had been burning in Henan Road for three months. After the long three months of war, there was no food within a hundred miles. Before that, the girl had been hungry for an unknown period of time. It was a miracle that she could crawl so far into the woods.

Unfortunately, there was no food in the woods either.

When the fleeing villagers left, most of the trees had no bark left. The trees with their barks pulled out stood half-dead in the woods, waiting for their inevitable death.

The girl only found a few grass roots and just stuffed them into her mouth when she saw the vicious dogs wandering in the woods.

In the war, all the people died, let alone the animals that guarded the house? These wild dogs were lucky enough to survive the capture of several waves of refugees.

The wild dogs were also hungry.

When they found the thin green-browed figure, they were even reluctant to swallow her in one bite, but stretched out their long tongues to lick her slowly, so as to enjoy this hard-earned food as much as possible.

Fortunately, Gu Huai'an passed by her at this time.

"In the desperate situation, you didn't sit at home and wait for death, but dragged your weak body all the way to the dense forest. For a three-year-old girl, you are determined enough!"

"Stay by my side, give me your life, and serve the country at the right time!"

After this fateful encounter, Lu Mei's life has taken a huge turn. Everything about her was chosen by Gu Huai'an for her, including her surname and what she would do in the future.

From the first time she drank the potion, Lu Mei knew that sooner or later she would return this life to her mentor.

And today is the time to return her life.

With the help of the legalist mentor, she got such a long life from the hands of God, allowing her to enjoy many colorful things in the world. Before she died, she could even help her companions get rid of a huge tumor hidden in human civilization.

She died without regrets.

Sardin looked at the figure of Concubine Xue in horror. He struggled to escape, but the two strong arms behind him immediately controlled him.

"Dear Mr. Lizardman, take out my heart. It's not civilized to run away without saying goodbye."

A strong smell of blood swept from behind. Loki, who was covered in blood, had followed him into the passage without knowing when.

Sardin struggled to death, but Loki's strength was not something he could resist at all.

Raising the dagger emitting brilliant green light, Concubine Xue stood in front of Sardin.

"Sardin, I hope you will always remember it."

"Those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away!"

The green dagger tempered with green eyebrow life energy penetrated the intestines through the lizardman's mouth, and then smoothly broke Sardin's scales. As Sardin screamed in pain, Concubine Xue dug out all the soft organs in his body, threw them on the ground and stomped them into a meat paste without mercy.

Sardin, the biggest mastermind behind the An-Shi Rebellion and one of the 12 leaders of the Illuminati, the "Lord of Dusk", died.
