Lin Huang felt that the time spent hunting in the secret prisoner territory went by very quickly.
By the time he elevated to sixth-rank True God, it was already the last three days before the secret territory closed.
He had not actually forgotten the main reason for entering the secret prisoner territory this time. It was just that he had not been able to find a particularly opportune moment to meet up with Kylie and Bloody.
Since he could sense his summoning beasts’ coordinates at all times, his choice of hunting targets throughout this half-a-month seemed random, but in reality, he was heading closer to where the two girls were.
Bloody and Kylie could also sense where Lin Huang was; as they hunted, they too were approaching closer in his direction.
On the second day after Lin Huang elevated to sixth-rank True God—which was also three days before the secret territory closed—he suddenly chose a prisoner located close to the border of the first-rank and second-rank Heavenly God domains.
Kylie and Bloody picked a second-rank Heavenly God prisoner close to the border at almost the same time as well.
The two territories were less than six hundred kilometers apart.
Very soon, the Heavenly God leaders outside the secret territory noticed this unusual situation.
“The target that the little princess from the Nephilic Judge Tribe picked is so close to the one Xiu Mu chose!”
“Those two girls won’t encounter Xiu Mu face-to-face, will they?!”
“They’re too close to each other. There’s a high possibility of them sensing each other as soon as the waves from the battles spread. I wonder if Xiu Mu will go investigate out of curiosity.”
“It doesn’t really matter even if they encounter each other. All the participants know the hunting rules in the secret prisoner territory. The possibility of Xiu Mu attacking the two girls is low.”
Although most people believed that Lin Huang would not attack the duo, the Nephilic Judge Tribe team leader still displayed a rather unpleasant expression.
He would not be as worried if Kylie were to encounter any other top-tier True God powerhouses apart from Xiu Mu and Virtuoso.
However, she was unfortunate enough to encounter Xiu Mu this time—an unbelievable genius whose ability could completely crush third-rank Heavenly Gods.
Although the rules said that attacking participants was not allowed in the secret territory, the lines were very blurred.
The organizers would turn a blind eye on the participants as long as nobody was killed or incapacitated.
Moreover, Xiu Mu also had his battle with Virtuoso as precedence. It would not be surprising if he attacked other participants.
The group of Heavenly God leaders was still discussing this topic outside the secret territory.
Meanwhile, Kylie and Bloody had arrived in the domain where their target was and had initiated combat.
The battle between the two girls and the second-rank Heavenly God prisoner had only just begun for less than twenty minutes before Lin Huang arrived where his target was as well. He began hunting a third-rank Heavenly God prisoner.
In reality, the three of them already knew they had arrived at this distance from each other, even without using telepathic voice transmission.
The three of them did not display anything out of the ordinary, behaving as usual.
In the surveillance monitors, it seemed as if they were not aware of each other’s existence at all.
As usual, Lin Huang overwhelmed his opponent just as he had done on previous occasions, taking only twenty minutes or so to kill his prey.
However, after killing his opponent and storing the monster carcass away, he suddenly lifted his head and stared toward the distant sky.
There were streaks of faint purplish-red lightning illuminating in the clouds in that direction.
This gesture caused the Nephilic Judge Tribe leader watching outside the secret territory to have a moment of tension.
The rest of the Heavenly Gods watching the battle were staring at the surveillance screen as well, not wanting to miss a single thing.
A couple of seconds later, Lin Huang moved in a flash, swiftly heading in the direction of the purplish-red lightning streaks.
“As expected, they’ve been discovered…”
Someone among the Heavenly God team leaders could not help sighing.
It took Lin Huang merely the space of a few breaths to cross the distance of over five hundred kilometers.
When Kylie was still fighting the second-rank Heavenly God prisoner, he revealed himself completely, standing upright in the void less than a hundred meters from the battleground.
Bloody immediately looked up at him, her expression guarded and vigilant. Her acting skills were perfect.
Lin Huang merely glanced at her without a word.
However, Kylie, who was currently fighting, was clearly a little distracted.
She was actually not acting at all; she was genuinely distracted by sensing Lin Huang’s aura near her again.
“Being distracted during a battle is a cardinal sin,” Lin Huang reminded her immediately. “Don’t mind me. I sensed the energy waves and thought I would stop in on the way to check it out.”
Although he said this, Lin Huang had no intention of leaving at all. Instead, he crossed his arms and watched the battle, sitting in the void with his legs crossed.
Kylie hurriedly focused after hearing Lin Huang’s reminder and put herself entirely in battle mode.
Outside the battleground, Bloody was watching Kylie’s fight while keeping her guard up at Lin Huang.
“Who are you?”
Bloody’s acting skills were perfect. As Xiu Mu had only risen to prominence since entering the secret territory, by all normal logic, she certainly would not know who he was. Moreover, as the best friend of the Nephilic Judge Tribe’s little princess, it even made sense for her to not know anyone else, other than a few top-tier True Gods.
“Xiu Mu from Death Sickle,” Lin Huang disclosed his identity and looked at Bloody with a smile. “I’ve seen the both of you outside the territory—the Nephilic Judge Tribe’s little princess and her best friend.”
Bloody’s face turned pale upon hearing Lin Huang’s identity; it seemed that she was shocked by his name. However, she remained stern as she spoke, “Good that you know then. You’d better not plot anything against us!”
Lin Huang displayed both his hands while smiling, implying that he had no intention of attacking.
However, Bloody clearly did not let her guard down, still looking rather displeased.
“Girl, I heard the little princess is getting married?” Lin Huang asked, testing the waters while smiling.
“No, that’s fake news!” Bloody denied right away. In reality, she said this on purpose for the benefit of the many organizations that were watching through the surveillance video. “Sister Kylie isn’t impressed by stupid men like you! She’s going to elevate to Supreme God rank-6 and dominate all you supreme geniuses!”
“Oh, I see…” Lin Huang cupped his chin, looking like he was in deep thought.
Outside the secret territory, after hearing Bloody’s comments, the numerous Heavenly God leaders realized immediately that Kylie herself had no intention of getting married.
The Nephilic Judge Tribe team leader looked rather embarrassed. Naturally, he knew of Kylie’s aspirations. However, he was just like the upper echelons of the Nephilic Judge Tribe and thought that she did not possess such ability. Only by marrying her off would the Tribe benefit most of all.
The Heavenly God leaders saw the awkward expression on the Nephilic Judge Tribe leader’s face and felt even more certain that the arrangements for marriage were against Kylie’s will.
Although some organizations did not mind that and felt that what she wanted did not matter as long as the marriage happened, other organizations felt that a forced marriage would bring hidden misfortunes with it. They began considering whether or not they should abandon their plans for proposing marriage.
What everyone did not know was that right under the surveillance cameras, Lin Huang had crushed five Supreme God rank-5 Advance Cards secretly and imbued them into Kylie’s body. This would help her break through the most important hurdle and successfully elevate to sixth-rank Supreme God…
