Monster Paradise

Lin Huang spent a week grinding in the core layer.

He spent a whole seven days and finally covered the entire core layer.

The total number of major dao-level monsters he killed throughout those seven days had surpassed 13,000.

All of those monsters had mastered over 800,000 Dao seals.

However, completing this did not mean that he had cleared the entire core layer.

He had hunted within circles measuring one million kilometers in diameter each in the core layer; there were still gaps between those circles.

Therefore, after the first round of hunting was completed, Lin Huang soon commenced the second round of hunting.

This time, he headed to those gaps in between his previous hunting zones and started clearing them out.

This entire process took four days.

Throughout those four days, he killed over 3,500 major dao-level monsters.

He had cleared out almost all of the monsters in the entire core layer.

Up to that point, Lin Huang had stayed in this mystic territory for 11 days.

“I’ve only spent 11 days here. It’s more than half a month shorter than I expected.” Lin Huang thought about it and decided to stay in the mystic territory longer to continue hunting.

After all, the mystic territory in Southern 61 Zone would only open six days later. If he left now, it would mean that he would have to wait six more days in the Eastern Eight Zone.

He thought he could totally stay in the core layer and continue hunting for one more day.

However, once he had cleared out the core layer, he could only target the inner layer outside of the core layer.

Although the monsters in the inner layer had mastered between 500,000 to 800,000 Dao seals were worth money as well, the prices they would fetch were definitely not as high as the monsters in the core layer.

One day passed like a flash, and Lin Huang returned to the inner layer.

He spread out his Divine Telekinesis again and scanned a million kilometers of his surroundings. He began a new round of hunting.

Over the next five days, he killed over 10,000 monsters in the inner layer. He had finally stopped when his alarm clock went off.

Were it not for the mystic territory in the Southern 61 Zone opening, the one that was suspected to be at heavenly dao-level, he would have been unwilling to stop hunting.

After turning off the alarm clock, Lin Huang checked the time on the Universe Calendar.

It was 00:00, 12th January.

Without hesitation, he concealed himself and left the mystic territory at full speed.

When he returned to the Feister Star Zone in the Eastern Eight Zone, he realized that the courtyard that had been initially crowded was now empty.

He recalled that he had gotten Bloody and Sword 1 to arrange the move before he headed over to the mystic territory.

It seemed that all of the people from the Sword Alliance had moved away.

He turned on his communication device and saw the missed calls from Bloody and Sword 1 ten days and a week ago respectively.

He then checked his messages and saw a message from Sword 1 that had been sent a week ago.

He clicked on it and looked it through.

The message Sword 1 sent was long, but the summary was pretty straightforward.

The Sword Alliance had completed the move. Everyone had moved to the core zone of Star Cluster.

Considering that Lin Huang would return to the Feister Star Zone, the courtyard in Feister Star Zone was not sold.

The new Sword Alliance was stationed in the Sunrise Star Zone in Star Cluster’s core zone.

Sword 1 even sent him the coordinates at the end of the message.

Lin Huang thought about it and decided to reply.

“I saw your message. I still have stuff to do, so I won’t be going over for the time being. Settle down properly. Your first mission would be to gather information. You guys should remain cautious, as Star Cluster isn’t absolutely safe either. Also, send me news about anything that has taken place over the past half a month.”

Lin Huang walked over to the bathroom to wash up after sending that message.

Although there would not be a trace of dust on his body, he still maintained some of the habits of a normal human.

He soaked himself in a tub filled with hot water. He felt his body, that had been in a tense state for half a month, finally relax.

He sat up straight in the tub and glanced at his communication ring. Sword 1 had replied earlier.

He merely replied, “Sure”, and attached a document.

Lin Huang clicked into the document and browsed through it.

However, he could not help but frown after doing so.

“Infinite’s Mountain Master and the two Mountain Guardians are missing…”

Infinite’s headquarters was a gigantic mountain range, and its size was comparable to that of a great world.

Therefore, their leader was called Mountain Master, while their deputy leaders were called Mountain Guardians.

The three of them were heavenly dao-level powerhouses, but they had gone missing mysteriously a week ago.

People had only realized this when nobody from Infinite showed up during the union meeting in the Eastern Eight Zone a week ago.

Upon investigation, the peak of Infinite’s mountain range, where the Mountain Master and Mountain Guardians were stationed, showed signs of battles.

“There’s a high chance that there’s a spy from the Black Abyss among those three people from Infinite.” Very soon, Lin Huang had come to a conclusion.

On one hand, if they attacked the organizations in which they planted their spies, they could recall their spies and prevent their identities being exposed by the investigation being conducted in the Eastern Eight Zone.

On the other hand, Infinite was like Royal, in the sense that they had three heavenly dao-level powerhouses. Compared to the remaining organizations, their combat strength was indeed the weakest. If there were spies among them, they were an easy target.

However, Lin Huang frowned even harder as he thought up to this point.

The reason being was that it seemed that Royal was at high risk too.

Now that Infinite had been eliminated, Royal was the weakest one among the remaining grade-SSS organizations in the Eastern Eight Zone.

No matter whether there was a spy in Royal or not, among the five remaining organizations, Royal was the most likely target that would be attacked by the Black Abyss next.

Naturally, there was another possibility.

Among the four grade-SSS organizations, excluding Royal, there were probably spies from the Black Abyss.

The Black Abyss might attack the organizations where their spies were placed first.

This was because, the longer things continued, the more likely it was that those spies would be exposed.

A spy being exposed did not only mean that the Black Abyss would lose one heavenly dao-level member, it would also mean that plenty of information about the Black Abyss might be revealed.

The reason why the Black Abyss could make so many organizations in the Eastern Eight Zone feel helpless was primarily because they were shrouded in mystery. Nobody knew who their members were and where their headquarters was. They had nowhere to start the investigation at all.

If they knew, those few grade-SSS organizations in the Eastern Eight Zone would have worked together to attack them earlier.

They would not be stuck in a passive position like now, where they could only hold meetings to exchange intel in order to get very limited information about the Black Abyss.

“I’ll enter the mystic territory tomorrow, and I’ll be there for a month. I wonder if Royal will still be around when I get out, and what state the Eastern Eight Zone would be in.” Lin Huang felt helpless about the current situation. He could not assist with anything at all.

The Black Abyss was too skilled at hiding.. In reality, if he knew where their lair was, he could destroy them on his own.
