Chapter 831: Chapter 829: Ignite (Three) Chapter 831: Chapter 829: Ignite (Three) “Isn’t this hunting squad a bit too luxurious?”
Two Demigods and one Divine Envoy, the last time they encountered a similar situation was during Dunis.
After the carriage stopped, the red-eyed old man locked onto Fu Qian and didn’t hurry to get out.
Despite being watched by such a person, Fu Qian remained calm and even greeted him with poise.
“What should I call you?”
“Stoss.”
It seemed that Stoss did not expect Fu Qian to still care about this at such a time, but after a slight hesitation, he reported his name.
“And you?”
Fu Qian then looked toward the lady with a baby face.
…
It was clear that the baby-faced lady thought this kind of introduction was unquestionable, but with her teammate having set a precedent, it was hard for her to refuse.
“Aike.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Fu Qian nodded and then glanced backward.
“I won’t ask about that one.”
Huh?
As soon as he said this, the look in old Master Stoss’s eyes became a bit more piercing.
“So shouldn’t you introduce yourself as well?”
Miss Aike was also staring at Fu Qian’s face, asking in a grave tone.
“Andiel.”
Fu Qian had already thought of an answer for this question.
“So Mr. Andiel… with your capabilities, why was the carriage hit just now?”
Aike and Stoss glanced at each other, and eventually, it was the latter who spoke, not concealing that they already knew of Fu Qian’s real strength.
“Rest assured, I had no interest in deliberately luring you all here.”
Fu Qian waved his hand.
“I just like convertibles.”
…
Stoss and the other looked again at the half-destroyed carriage; although it was indeed much more open, this answer obviously carried no persuasive power.
“Let me rephrase, why are you here?”
Aike’s tone was clearly quite unfriendly.
“Well, of course, it’s for the ‘fire’!”
Fu Qian’s face was filled with profound meaning as he answered and gazed at the two.
“Aren’t you? Outsiders.”
Before he finished speaking, some subtle change occurred in Fu Qian’s field of vision.
Stoss and the other truly seemed as if they were separated by a vast space and years, untouchable.
He seemed to be confined in some special way.
At the same time, a searing heat suddenly rose around them.
Almost instantly, the stone slabs beneath them melted into magma, even stretching into a Magma Whip that swept across everything, making it inevitable for Fu Qian to avoid.
However, before the whip could strike fully, a cloud of blood mist rose to meet it, while the trapped figure of Fu Qian gradually disappeared.
“Where is he?”
Stoss had already come down from the carriage, looking at the empty space before him, his tone filled with puzzlement.
“He must have escaped, although I’m not sure by what means.”
The one who answered him was not Aike but a face that appeared from inside the carriage.
It was a middle-aged man with pallid skin, looking utterly unwell and lifeless in his eyes.
Like Aike and the other, from his clothes to his skin, he shone with a trace similar to flames.
“Are you telling me that two Divine Envoys joined forces and yet let the prey escape?”
Stoss clearly was unwilling to accept such an outcome.
“Not only that, but he also escaped while Aike was distracting us.”
However, the middle-aged man didn’t even mind revealing his weakness.
“Escaped is escaped, saying these things is meaningless.”
“Just having come in and encountering this, isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s a reminder of the bizarre aspects of this place.”
“Also, it’s not like we gained nothing, right? Mr. Andiel seems to have brought some interesting information.”
“I can’t figure out how the plan could have leaked beforehand.”
Aike finally found an opportunity to chime in, frowning as he spoke.
“And it feels like this Andiel isn’t quite the same as the other characters we’ve encountered. Could he be bluffing us, maybe he’s also an outsider?”
“That possibility can’t be excluded.”
Taking Aike’s words seriously, the middle-aged man nodded.
“But if that’s the case, the situation seems worse–someone outside knows our plan and wants to sabotage it.”
“So do we continue the exploration?”
Aike clearly didn’t expect it to be so troublesome.
“Of course.”
The middle-aged man turned to survey the inside of the carriage.
“We can’t keep Logan waiting any longer.”
The next moment, he waved his hand, and something around the place where Fu Qian had been standing shattered thunderously.
The still-cooling magma spread outwards, even leaving glass-like traces on the ground.
“Let’s go. Just because one got away doesn’t mean the next one will.”
…
Another Divine Envoy? A high-ranking Night Watchman?
Watching people and the carriage disappear in the distance, Fu Qian, situated amidst overlapping illusions, silently analyzed the information he had just heard.
Compared to Old Master Stoss, another Divine Envoy in the carriage apparently had even more abstruse and unpredictable methods.
At such a close distance, he could only perceive that someone was inside but couldn’t gather more information.
However, a familiar name at the end helped him affirm the origins of these people.
Night Watchman Trial Council Member Logan, the old gentleman’s bold style had left a deep impression on Fu Qian.
Unfortunately, facing the lawless Ariel, this overly confident man ran headlong into the descending sun, leading to a dual collapse of body and spirit.
According to Yuan Shan, this one had been sent back to the Night Watcher headquarters for treatment, and it had been about a month.
Could it be that this Hunting Squad’s purpose was to come to this special place to find a way to heal him?
Two Divine Envoys and two Demigods–an extremely lavish setup, indeed fitting for the top Extraordinary Organization’s stature.
Of course, that trenchcoat-wearing bravado could only be considered half.
The reason he had said no need to ask that one’s name was that, in Fu Qian’s estimation, that one was likely a puppet-like character.
On one hand, was the somewhat wooden reaction, and on the other, unlike the other three, his body didn’t bear those unique flame marks.
And from the probing reaction, it seemed almost certain.
As for his puppeteer, it was most likely that person inside the carriage.
…
Having such a luxurious Night Watchman group join the fray, it’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad.
Clearly, they are seasoned and shrewd characters.
Just now, under Aike’s diversion, it was obviously that person inside the carriage who took the opportunity to trap him in place, followed by Stoss’s instantaneous killer move.
A series of maneuvers that could not be more exquisite.
And faced with such lethal moves, Fu Qian’s first reaction was to test the effect of Blood Conquest.
Indeed, it proved that this dimension-transcending walk spared him from being consumed by fierce flames, yet the confinement ability of the other Divine Envoy was quite remarkable.

Even within that surreal overlapping state, movements were still extremely difficult.
At the same time, another issue was the extravagant consumption.
Not sure if it’s the peculiarity of this place itself, but Blood Conquest consumed, in fear, more than ten times what it did during testing.
If it were someone else, they’d probably run dry within five seconds.
Amidst these thoughts, the blood mist surrounding Fu Qian dissipated, and he reappeared on the Unseen Hillock.
