Sakura Country.
Kyushu Island.
North shore ferry crossing.
"Next, I will arrange..."
"This operation, we have only one target."
"That is, at all costs, to kill Lin Ran!"
"I hope everyone can abide by the discipline of the Nightfall organization, no matter what happens, do not make extraneous issues!"
At this moment, the North shore ferry crossing, the Sakura soldiers originally stationed for defense have all been slaughtered.
What remains now is a stream of black-clothed, masked mysterious figures.
However, from the words of their leader, these people clearly come from the same organization...
That is, the so-called largest terrorist organization on Blue Star - Nightfall!
The leader is different from these ordinary Nightfall members. The clothes he wears are purple robes, and the mask covering his face is also purple.
Besides that, these people seem to have the same aura...
After listening to the purple-robed man's instructions, the black-clothed men showed no outward change in attitude.
But from their uniform and orderly posture adjustment, it was clear that these words had entered their hearts.
The purple-robed man was obviously quite satisfied with the performance of these black-clothed men. He nodded and continued:
"Then, let's prepare to depart!"
"After all, we don't have much time left..."
"The gray stars in the sky are gradually falling, and their speed is increasing.
"I guess Lin Ran must also be in full swing with his actions..."
"Heaven has finally created a completely enclosed deadly space for us. If I don't turn this space into a slaughterhouse, I would be letting myself down for half my life!"
After the purple-robed man finished speaking, he clasped his hands together, chanted something, and layers of black shadows emerged from the ground one by one.
"What we need to do now is to search for Lin Ran's whereabouts and share his location with everyone on our side at all times."
"With Death Shadows that are more than ten times superior to hunting dogs to assist us in our search, as long as Lin Ran is on this Kyushu Island, he cannot escape our notice..."
"Thus, each Death Shadow will be assigned a ten-person squad. Form teams randomly, and the elder will serve as the captain."
"Move out! Within twenty-four hours, we must obtain the first-hand information about Lin Ran!"
With that said, the purple-robed man waved his hand forward, signaling these swarms of Nightfall members to set out.
Nightfall indeed lives up to its reputation as a powerful organization that has endured on Blue Star for countless years without falling. Their discipline in major events is impeccable.
Ten-person squads, led by Death Shadows, were quickly formed and soon departed from the North shore ferry crossing, heading in different directions across Kyushu Island.
Their speed was extremely fast, their movements agile as they traversed rooftops, showing no restraint in their abilities.
However, the purple-robed man himself did not seem inclined to depart. He stood rooted to the spot, watching until all the Death Shadows and Nightfall members had left, without moving an inch.
"Alright, everyone is gone. You can come out now!"
The purple-robed man expanded his domain, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no other living beings in the vicinity besides them, he spoke to a patch of air behind him.
With a twist and restoration of space, four more people suddenly appeared on the previously empty and blood-drenched beach.
They were clad in red, yellow, blue, and green robes, respectively. Externally, their attire was indistinguishable from that of the purple-robed man, and their physiques and heights were remarkably similar.
Even their auras were so synchronized that it was as if they were emanating from a single entity, a terrifying feat.
Upon seeing the scene on the beach, the green-robed man couldn't help but laugh heartily:
"I never thought! I never thought that Old Purple, you would actually bring your subordinates here to get involved!"
"You actually have the audacity to coerce the Nightfall organization into working for you..."
"Calling you audacious is not enough to describe you!"
The purple-robed man snorted coldly:
"You four dare to talk about me, aren't you all here too?"
"The Heavenly Dao indicates that a once-in-a-century opportunity to become a god is hidden on this island. How could I not come?"
"Although the 'Lord' above inexplicably has no interest in this so-called opportunity to become a god, for the sake of investigation, he agreed to my coming and provided me with a group of quite elite fighters..."
The red-robed man stroked his chin:
"And the condition for him to send you here was to kill Lin Ran at all costs?"
The purple-robed man gazed at the red moon in the sky and pondered:
"Half and half..."
"Over there, his words were not so absolute, merely hinting at the idea."
"And my intentions run deeper than his..."
The yellow-robed man raised an eyebrow:
"Deeper? How so?"
"Oh! I get it! I almost forgot what you, Old Purple, are!"
As he said this, a cunning, wicked smile spread across the yellow-robed man's face:
"You plan to let those Nightfall members go to their deaths to serve as fresh sacrifices for your refining formation, don't you?"
"That's why you're letting those ten-person squads go to trouble that fiend Lin Ran!"
After hearing the yellow-robed man's words, the blue-robed man gasped:
"So you, Old Purple, are playing a very big game..."
"If the Nightfall organization knew that you didn't value their lives at all, they wouldn't peel you alive!"
"You're so bold as to toy with even the most reckless terrorist organization in the world!"
"When they come to settle the score with you, won't it be a matter of minutes before you're taken down?"
The purple-robed man shook his head:
"Settle the score with me? By the time they have the leisure, it will be too late!"
"From the moment I set foot on this island, I have had only two possibilities..."
"The first is to successfully find the opportunity to become a god and ascend to heaven with its aid!"
"The second is to be defeated on the path to seeking the opportunity to become a god and be annihilated into dust..."
"In either case, the Nightfall organization will be powerless against me."
"The former gives me the confidence to not fear them, and the latter allows us to escape their torment..."
"Not to mention, I am already a dying person..."
"It's all for the best!"
The green-robed man nodded helplessly:
"It's all for the best..."
"But why didn't you discuss such a major matter with us earlier?"
"To bring it up so suddenly now, it leaves us completely unprepared!"
