Lingling and Apas also sensed that something was wrong.
However, compared to Lingling's furrowed brows, Apas was much more relaxed.
She knew how powerful Serafina was, who was always by Su Lan's side.
Even if the sky falls, Serafina will hold it up.
Besides, she's not a weakling.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he and Lingling argue all the time, and sometimes he even comes out on the losing end.
Don't forget, she's a Grand Monarch-level Golden-Eyed Medusa!
While the two children were lost in thought, Old Man Bao revealed the reason why he had asked Su Lan to come here.
"I just received news from an old friend in the Holy City that two Holy Shadow Mages have secretly infiltrated Great Xia."
"Their main objective this time is to find out the reason for the high-level energy fluctuations in Great Xia over the past year."
"The Alien Hunter has been added to their exploration list and is now heading towards Shanghai. You need to prepare as soon as possible."
Old Bao looked worried as he pondered how to break the deadlock.
Upon receiving the message from his old friend, Old Man Bao immediately began searching for a way to break the deadlock.
Putting everything else aside, at the very least, we can't let the two Holy Shadow Mages investigate the secrets of the [Alien].
He had visited the [Alien] Hunting Grounds several times, and almost every hunter working there was at least at the mid-level.
Moreover, these people appear to be mid-level mages, but in reality, they have amazing physical abilities and can easily kill high-level mages.
Imagine how shocking it would be if others knew about a hunting ground with hundreds of hunters capable of single-handedly killing high-level mages.
This is just one of the offices of the [Alien] Hunters.
The true office base of the [Alien] Hunter is located in the suburbs of Shanghai.
The old man had never been to the suburban base, but according to intelligence, there were at least four figures inside.
The thought that Su Lan controlled an organization with thousands of high-level mages made Old Man Bao's scalp tingle.
In fact, all the information that Old Man Bao knew was leaked by Su Lan on her own initiative.
Su Lan wouldn't tell them, at least not now, that she would proactively reveal that she had 40,000 alien girls.
Forty thousand high-level mages—even the major satellite regions might not have that many.
Just as Old Man Bao was about to say something, Su Lan waved her hand to stop him.
"Grandpa Bao, there's no need to worry about this."
"To tell you the truth, we knew what Holy Shadow was going to do before they infiltrated Great Xia."
"As for investigating the alien planet, nothing will be found without someone investigating it."
Old Bao looked at Su Lan, who still appeared calm and composed, with a smile on her lips.
He glanced again at Serafina, who stood beside Su Lan, seemingly just as indifferent to the Holy Shadow as Su Lan herself.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He knew a way to prevent the Holy Shadow from investigating the [Alien] Hunting Grounds.
One is that the Holy City reclaimed the mission.
That's practically impossible.
Secondly, it prevents those who come to gather intelligence from having the opportunity to continue gathering information.
Su Lan and Serafina, could it be that they're thinking of...?
Thinking of this, Old Man Bao couldn't help but shudder.
Old Bao is very familiar with the Holy Shadow Judgment Legion.
He once served as a priest of the Holy Judgment Court and usually dealt with people from the Holy Shadow Judgment Legion.
The Holy Shadow Judgment Legion is an assassination team composed of forbidden spellcasters.
They routinely carry out various assassination and intelligence gathering missions.
Wherever the Holy Shadow went, it brought devastation and the fall of forbidden spells.
Although these are a group of forbidden spell mages forcibly promoted by the Holy City's magic, their ability to advance to forbidden spells also indicates that these Holy Shadow Mages possess extremely high magical talent.
Even if he is weaker than a normally broken through forbidden spell mage, with the boost from his Angelic Soul Embryo, he will still be stronger than a normally broken through mage.
Su Lan saw that Old Man Bao was looking at her with a mixture of surprise and understanding, and immediately realized that the other party had guessed her thoughts.
"It's almost time. We still have some things to take care of, so we won't stay any longer."
As Su Lan spoke, she gently rubbed Apas and Lingling's little heads with both hands.
Lingling wasn't annoyed by being patted on the head; instead, she looked at Su Lan with concern.
Lingling wanted to say something, but couldn't bring herself to say it.
Having learned the basics of what happened, she knew she couldn't help.
Apas wasn't too worried.
She knew that Serafina's strength was beyond her imagination.
When Su Lan left the Qingtian Hunting Grounds, Old Man Bao was still thinking of asking Su Lan to take him with her.
Old Bao meant that he could hold off one of them, buying Su Lan time to deal with the other Saint Shadow Mage as soon as possible.
Seeing that Old Man Bao was determined to help her, Su Lan still refused.
He appreciated the good intentions.
If Bao Lao were to take the field, he might lose half his life in the process.
Moreover, two forbidden spellcasters were nothing to Serafina.
At the entrance of the Qingtian Hunting Grounds, Old Man Bao and his two companions watched Su Lan's departing figure, hoping that this time they would not attract too much attention.
At the very least, those who come from the Holy City should be utterly destroyed.
At this moment, a torrential downpour began, splashing into tiny droplets on the concrete ground.
The raindrops automatically dispersed when they reached a meter above Su Lan and Serafina's bodies, so the two wouldn't get wet even without umbrellas.
Passersby did not notice this scene.
Su Lan and Serafina are currently in a visual barrier state, so no machine or living being can detect their presence.
After walking past the street corner, Serafina locked onto the direction, and the two disappeared into the heavy rain.
...
I hate rain.
In the mountains 700 kilometers from Shanghai, a small cliff has been hollowed out to create a cave, from which firelight shines.
Outside the cave, it was pouring rain, while inside it was warm and dry, creating a stark contrast.
At this moment, standing at the entrance of the cave was a man dressed in a dark gold judge's robe.
In the open plain not far from the man, three demons exuding the aura of a Grand Commander exploded on the ground.
Indeed, none of the three demons at the Grand Commander level were intact; their bodies were scattered in various places, all in a state of explosion.
Even the demon's eyes contained the fear of dying with unresolved rage.
Looking at the torrential rain pouring down from the sky, Kino even considered using magic to split the clouds.
But considering his current situation, he suppressed the urge.
Suddenly, I felt a surge of frustration.
He, a dignified forbidden spell mage of the Holy City's Holy Shadow Judgment Legion, was actually being held back one day, which truly infuriated him.
He was especially annoyed after being rebuffed by Hua Zhanhong, which made him hesitant to act against him.
Thinking of this, a ray of light suddenly appeared on Ke Ye's body, and the rules of light were gently stirred by it.
Just as the light-based rules were about to erupt, another force of space-based rules covered them, suppressing the light-based rules that were about to erupt.
"Kuno, getting angry won't help. What we need to do now is gather enough evidence to prove that there's a problem here."
"At that time, it won't be a matter of Hua Zhanhong and the others saying there are no problems and then there are no problems."
"What awaits them in the future will be the supreme power from the Holy City. It's time for them to experience the dimensional reduction attack from the Archangels."
