After going through countless hardships, I finally managed to drag out the thoroughly disheveled Beliya...

But at this moment, Beliya's face was already flushed red with rage. In anger, he snapped the neck of the attendant, tossing the head aside with a splash of blood.

This action terrified those attendants.

But Beliya couldn't care less about the attendants now. He glared viciously at Xu Lingjun, and coldly said, "When was I exposed? When did you discover something was wrong with me?!"

This is completely different from the plan.

Normally, it should have been him rushing to save someone, charging forward, and then being brutally beaten back... Xu Lingjun, both out of reason and emotion, would have to save him. Once their bodies touched, he would ambush him, causing serious harm.

This was far superior to a direct backstab, and it would catch people completely off guard.

But he never expected...

What greeted him was not Xu Lingjun's rescue, but a heart-wrenching kick.

Thank goodness I had bad intentions, otherwise, how heartbroken would I be?

But there was only one explanation for this...

This guy, he had long known there was something wrong with him.

"Probably from the first moment you entered our Secret Realm, I knew you had a problem." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Xu Lingjun held a crystal in his hand and said, "This crystal was made by our research institute using the blood of that previous Carlos. It can react to the same kind... Although I don't quite understand why you foolishly injected yourself with the silicon gene, knowing full well that once you die, you'll become the same kind as silicon-based, and your consciousness will be devoured, to the point where you no longer count as yourself, yet you still went ahead and did it?"

He sighed, "But this doesn't stop me from turning the tables. You wanted to use bait to catch my people, but you didn't know I was planning to overturn your ship... This time, I just wanted to see how many experts you could send to deal with me. The more that come, the happier I am, because this turning the tables will be more effective!"

Hearing this.

Beliya's face instantly turned ashen, and he was so emotional that he almost fainted.

He shouted angrily, "Wasn't it you... damn it... Xu Lingjun, why didn't you tell me sooner? Even if we did nothing, even if we didn't go to the Baoxue Empire to help you, we could still get your cultivation technique. I paid the price of freedom and soul, only to get something that everyone can easily obtain? What does my sacrifice count as?"

Xu Lingjun said in surprise, "So you were injected with the silicon gene two years ago?"

"I am the one who injected him."

The Master of Silicon said indifferently, "I personally went to the Baoxue Empire and accidentally glimpsed the strongest human master. I defeated him in just a few moves, but he unexpectedly knelt down begging for mercy. The idea popped into my head to forcibly inject him with the silicon gene. Over the years, our clan's ability to dominate in the Land of Light, achieving such great feats, he has contributed greatly..."

"My Land of Light naturally advocates for the strong. Master, your strength far surpasses mine, so I naturally believe in you as my lord!"

Beliya said respectfully.

The Master of Silicon ignored him.

His gaze was fixed steadily on Xu Lingjun.

Along with that, the expressions of the other few members of the Mysterious Clan turned unpleasant...

What Xu Lingjun had just said implied.

This man knew it was a trap, yet he still willingly walked into their jaws.

And now, even clearly caught in their encirclement, this man was still so calm...

He probably had something to rely on.

This ultimate kill... could it have been a trap from the very beginning?

The few people's hearts couldn't help but sink a little.
