Chapter 1180 White Mystery - Part 2

Darlene thought this would be a joyful reunion with her grandfather, but the situation changed so quickly. First, she did not expect her grandfather would threaten Tang Shaoyang. She exchanged the information with his permission, so she thought this would not happen. Second, she did not expect that Ying was so fearless that Ying was not afraid of the Demi-God Rank. Third, the unknown factor is the woman. She was quite nervous for some reason even with her grandfather next to her.

The knights behind Darlene sheathed out their swords, assuming a stance. They were ready to fight anytime if a fight broke out. The neutral atmosphere quickly shifted to a tense atmosphere. The fight could break out at any moment.

Darleneʼs grandfather raised his hand, signaling his knight to stop their action. He cast a final glance toward the woman before turning around, leaving with his granddaughter. The knight seemed reluctant to leave, but they followed the order. Some of the knights cast their last glance at Tang Shaoyang and the mysterious woman.

Tang Shaoyangʼs Spirit Eyes focused on the Xevia Kingdomʼs force, ensuring they left the area for real. While he kept his guard around the mysterious woman. He believed that the reason Darleneʼs grandfather retreated was the woman, not him. He had to be cautious against her when a Demi-God Rank was so careful around her.

”Whatʼs your business with me, Lady?” Tang Shaoyang was direct, immediately asking what the woman wanted from him. He did not know the woman, and he was sure he never met her either based on the voice. It was the first time he heard the voice unless she had a way to change her voice.

”Whatʼs in a hurry? Are you going to the twelfth floor now?” The woman was relaxed despite the imminent battle just now. She turned toward Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang had tried using the Spirit Eyes to see through the clothes that covered her face. It failed, the hat seemed to be an artifact, preventing the others from seeing through.

The mysterious woman clicked her tongue, ”Tch, you are unfun. I am coming for you under the order of the White Mystery Alliance, inviting you to join the alliance.” The woman raised her hand, stopping Tang Shaoyang from rejecting the invitation, ”This is not a faction, but a God Alliance. We are inviting you as an equal stand, not as a subordinate. Donʼt you want to hear more about the White Mystery?”

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, not because of how mysterious the woman was, but because of the name of the alliance. The name sounded weird. Even though he did not know what it meant, that just sounded weird to say, especially when the woman said it proudly. But he indeed wanted to hear more about this White Mystery. This was the first time he heard about the White Mystery, and he wondered how they knew about him.

”The White Mystery is the alliance consisting of the God Ranks that survive from being hunted by the other God Alliances, especially the God Alliances that are currently hunting you down or were hunting you down. They donʼt seem to know that you are still alive, quite impressive I will say,” The mysterious woman explained about the White Mystery which was actually just the background of the alliance.

However, Tang Shaoyang quickly caught up with what it meant. It meant these God Ranks were people with a similar class as him or maybe within the same category as him. From what he knew, the Divine Churchʼs God Ranks came for him because of Antorias who found out that he had Slayer Energy. He believed there were other similar classes as the Slayer.

”The White Mystery came to the conclusion that you will become a great comrade, thatʼs why we want to invite you to join the alliance. You donʼt have to do anything, and there are no particular rules you have to follow. We are just helping each other to survive. Are you interested?” The mysterious woman offered her hand for a handshake.

”Ah, I forgot to mention the benefits. You wonʼt join without benefits, right? First, you donʼt need to worry about those seven God Alliances anymore. The White Mystery will stop them from finding your world and also prevent them from finding you. Even though they assume you are dead, they seem still trying to find your world. Second, The White Mystery will share some secrets with you, like how to obtain five classes and five talents aside from the advancement trial. Of course, it includes the secret of the Astral Battle.”

The offer was so tempting to be refused. Information, that was what he needed right now. On top of that, there was no requirement to join either. In fact, he was at the spot where he needed the help the most to fight off the God Ranks. This White Mystery might be his way to get rid of the God Ranksʼ pursuit of him. However, everything was too good to be true, especially for the current him.

Not that Tang Shaoyang did not believe in the way of the White Mystery, but that was just too good to be true. He believed there was an alliance like this, helping each other instead to survive, sharing information from another universe, and so on. But why did the White Mystery want to help him? It could be said that his biggest value was his potential once he reached the God Rank, but the White Mystery was doing too much just for his potential.

The White Mystery had to fight the seven God Alliances, risking their lives for him. The White Mystery might be the enemy of the seven God Alliances that were after him. A possibility, but why would they want to risk their lives for him? That was the thing that bothered him, especially when they had reached the God Rank. That was a suspicious point from the offer.

”Letʼs say I agree to join the White Mystery. What do I need to do to join?” Tang Shaoyang probed further.

The mysterious woman took out a scroll from her inventory and tossed it at Tang Shaoyang, ”Thatʼs the content of the Oath you have to take if you are willing to join the White Mystery.”
