Capítulo 870: Chapter 407: Heaven and Earth Cage

Li Ye was really taken aback: “Are you saying you’re commissioning me to… kill the Night General?”

This guy wants to kill me and wants to team up with the Church?

Emperor’s Fall wants to kill the Night General? Seriously?

Funny, that’s my dearest friend…

Need to add more money!

Li Ye suppressed the laughter in his heart and asked in a deep voice: “Sir… are you interested in the Night General?”

He no longer addressed the Book Holder as ‘sir’, as he was no longer the betrayer ‘Copper Face’, but the Church’s esteemed Divine Chosen.

“Indeed.” The Book Holder nodded: “Sir, you should have a similar thought, right? In this matter, we are aligned.”

Within the Chaos faction, the most persistent towards Champion Team One are actually the Blood God faction and the Jile faction.

The former is understandable, as the title of invincibility for Champion Team One was established against the Blood God faction. The Divine Chosen, even when summoning the Chaos Demon projection, was slain by a Champion.

Along with Champion Team One’s bravery, the Blood God faction is highly persistent in defeating or corrupting the strong of Champion Team One. Defeating a Champion of the same level would regain the glory of invincibility at the same rank.

Therefore, the Blood God faction is very keen on opposing Champion Team One. The Divine Chosen is persistent in challenging Champions of the same rank. If a Champion’s head is severed, the Blood God would undoubtedly be pleased.

As for the Jile faction… they initially didn’t believe in evil, very eager to corrupt the Champions of past generations.

But ultimately, they never succeeded—be it desires or vanity—nothing can pry open the mind of a Champion.

This made them extremely resentful and disdainful of the Champions.

However, although they wouldn’t proactively provoke, if there’s an opportunity, no believer of the Jile faction would miss the chance to distort a Champion.

If one could corrupt a Champion, they could ascend in one step, becoming a Prince isn’t impossible.

“With the combat power the Night General is now displaying, he is very likely to be the next generation Champion. I presume sir, also wants to cut off his head?” The Book Holder smiled.

“That can only happen when he truly becomes a Champion.” Li Ye said coldly: “But I’m curious, why don’t you do it yourself? Why do you want to borrow my strength?”

The Book Holder is quite strong, suspected to be a King, at least a Supreme.

And the power he’s in is formidable enough to defeat the once dominant Wilderness Ranger, definitely not to be underestimated.

With the Book of Destiny in hand, they can almost foresee the enemy’s moves. Why worry about the enemy not being defeated?

If the Book Holder really wanted to destroy Li Ye, it shouldn’t require inviting the Church. And why? Did he discover that Li Ye’s misfortune is interfering with destiny?

“At present, it’s not yet the time for us to emerge.” The Book Holder shook his head slightly.

The Night General might be a variable; dealing with him, the Book of Destiny might not provide the most correct choice. That is also a main reason.

Facing a variable, it’s best not to go into battle personally. Otherwise, the resulting changes would be greater.

And Copper Face, as a Chaos Chosen, is originally meant to confront the Champion. Helping him gain a greater chance of victory is a win-win situation, isn’t it?

“Then why do you want to kill the Champion Agent?” Li Ye asked in confusion: “With his strength and talent, shouldn’t he be on your list?”

This fits Copper Face’s character setting.

On the Book Holder’s list, there are plenty of geniuses. Be it the Giant City or the Forbidden Zone, he seems to have insight into the fate of all the powerful.

With the Night General’s special ability, he should also be on the list.

“This involves some secrets.” The Book Holder, however, shook his head, refusing to reveal the reason.

Li Ye didn’t ask further, he already guessed some truth.

The outcome of the Immortal Palace war must greatly differ from what was originally recorded in the Book of Destiny.

This made the Book Holder anxious, and upon discovering the Night General, he planned to eliminate this potentially interfering figure and reclaim the Divine Demon Stele.

Or in other words, to restore order?

How ironic, Li Ye didn’t consider himself a hero, but he indeed sacrificed a lot for humanity.

As a result, just because he interferes with so-called destiny, he should be exterminated?

Haha… and this Book Holder still self-proclaims to be for the world’s future, how laughable. Whose future is it anyway?

Li Ye chuckled coldly in his heart and then said: “But the Champion Agent has now returned to the Giant City. And currently, we have no plans to expose ourselves.”

“You can’t expect me to forcibly kill the Champion Agent within the Giant City, right? Where a King is stationed. If I could do this, then I should be called the Mad King!”

It seemed like a refusal, but in fact, it was to demand benefits.

After all, for a Divine Chosen to kill an official captain within the Giant City and retreat unscathed, it’s exceedingly difficult.

Whether or not the mission succeeds, it will incur a King’s pursuit.

One must be insanely arrogant to dare take such action.

Unless beforehand, they divert the attention of the Old Mad King and other official strongmen, only then there is a slim chance.

But that’s just a small chance… The last one who did this was Golden Armor.

He was caught on the spot by the Old Mad King, then had his skull cracked open, and the Spiritual Ability Users from the Divine Protection and Path of Babbling read his memory.

That’s how the plan for Li Ye to replace ‘Copper Face’ and enter the ark came about.

“I certainly know… after all, the Old Mad King is definitely one of the strongest Kings in this world.”

“His Jiuli Demon Body is earth-shattering, once taking on two enemies by himself, nearly slaying the King of the Restricted Zone! Since then, he has deterred the Forbidden Zone for decades. Among the three zones, there are openly four Kings of the Restricted Zone, yet they dare not besiege him… truly afraid he’d kill some of them before his lifespan runs out.” The Book Holder sighed: “He should have been one of the protagonists of this era. What a pity, his curse… thus, the Book of Destiny becomes increasingly important.”
