A Top Scholar in Everything

The scene was a standoff between both parties.

On Baiyu's side.

Since the two Grandmasters needed to be constantly vigilant, Baiyu naturally took on the task of negotiation.

On the other side.

Those two were quite surprised, as among the three, Baiyu obviously seemed the weakest, yet he was the one to handle negotiation.

However.

This was not something they could be concerned about.

"I'm Tao Hong."

"I'm Li Lv."

The two men announced their identities respectively, though their tone was strange, Baiyu could still discern they were speaking in the common language.

"You must be from the East Prosperity Imperial, right? Li Lv and I are from the Great Yan Dynasty. Our two countries have always had good relations, so remember, do not act rashly."

Tao Hong said hastily.

Baiyu had already guessed their identities, so he did not get entangled in that, "What are you here for?

Are you not aware that Mountain City is currently in a state of conflict?"

The two set down their weapons and sat nearby, "We are here to resolve the issue of this Simulation Realm.

You don't understand.

This Simulation Realm is quite troublesome, if not dealt with, it might threaten more than just Mountain City."

Baiyu remained silent, indicating for them to continue speaking.

They were forthright.

"We belong to the Great Yan Imperial organization, the Savior Brotherhood. We've been investigating this company called Sen Tai Technology.

They have been researching Deformed Weapons and bioweapons.

They are also developing various banned drugs.

The Simulation Realm this time is closely related to them. We happen to be in Mountain City, so we came to clear the area.

This building is full of mutants.

Many are former employees of the company.

The powerful mutants are former research subjects of the company."

Tao Hong said a lot.

The logic was generally coherent without any major flaws, but this kind of one-sided statement was hardly credible at times like these.

Baiyu would not easily believe him.

However.

Since everyone still maintained a surface-level politeness, Baiyu was happy to go along.

"Next, we could explore this building together. On the upper floors, there must be the main experimental subjects of this company.

Those guys.

Are not easy to deal with as mutants.

We have been investigating this Sen Tai Technology Company for a while and provided the data to the Anomaly Bureau, but no one has come to handle it, which we find strange."

Tao Hong and Li Lv proposed acting together.

The two Grandmasters contemplated a bit, discussed the pros and cons with Baiyu, and ultimately decided to join the two from the Great Yan Dynasty.

Although they couldn't determine their background.

However.

On Baiyu's side, Grandmaster Long and Grandmaster Mu were not weaker than them. Instead of worrying they might engage in some underhanded actions behind their backs if separated, it's better to stay together, even if the two have other intentions, Baiyu and his companions wouldn't be completely unguarded.

Tao Hong and Li Lv thought the same.

The group started teaming up for exploration, with roughly a third of the building left overhead; the weapons these two carried had a special impact on many mutants.

Ordinary mutants.

Couldn't withstand even one blow from them.

They didn't even propose taking turns leading the way, always staying upfront, exerting themselves vigorously.

In this situation.

Grandmaster Long and Grandmaster Mu felt somewhat embarrassed.

Their sense of vigilance toward them diminished significantly.

After all.

The common enemies of humankind remain Demons, exotic races, Exotic Beasts, and those Cult Organizations.

After climbing dozens of floors continuously.

Baiyu and the others finally arrived at the top floor of Sen Tai Technology.

On the journey, they had encountered countless mutants frozen over, yet the intense pollution level of this top floor was still hard to bear.

This was not something mutants could create.

Sure enough.

As they pushed open the door to the top floor, there was an exceedingly bloody, primal ritual altar.

The scene was very bloody and chaotic.

According to Baiyu's observation, the main materials of the altar should be mixed with human flesh and many strange things.

However.

The center of the altar was chaotic, clearly damaged by someone.

Tao Hong noticed this right away upon approaching the altar: "The altar center was violently damaged; there's a dense Master's Power, at least from a Tier Two expert.

The opponent only destroyed the center of the Array and did so rather hastily.

A master like this shouldn't act so rashly. If they make a move, it would be to completely eliminate any threat.

The situation must have been urgent, leaving this expert no time for further attacks."

Baiyu and Grandmasters Long and Mu thought that the scenario here might have been caused by Yao Shuimei, as it seemed she was the only Tier Two in all of Mountain City.

There were many mutants on the top floor, brutally killed by someone.

The largest one's post-mortem pollution prevented Grandmasters Long and Mu from approaching.

However.

They searched throughout the entire building but found no trace of Yao Shuimei.

At the same time, all the building's materials had been virtually destroyed, leaving no useful information.

The only gain.

Might be the materials dropped from defeated mutants along the way.

But these were of little use to the two Grandmasters and Baiyu, as their mission was to locate Yao Shuimei.

"The building is pretty much cleared; where do you plan to go next?"

After thoroughly destroying the altar on the top floor.

Baiyu looked at Tao Hong and Li Lv.

"No, we can't just leave like this, we still have to deal with it."

"Yes, there are too many mutants in this building. If they get out, it will definitely cause chaos."

Both firmly refused Baiyu in unison.

Seeing their determination, Baiyu said nothing more and left with Grandmasters Long and Mu.

Once they left the top floor.

Grandmaster Long lowered his voice, speaking heavily: "Those two must have secrets; are we just letting them remain here?

They seem to know quite a lot about Sen Tai Technology Company."

Baiyu nodded: "I know, but even if they have other agendas now, we don't have any solutions."

Grandmasters Long and Mu nodded.

Indeed.

At present, arguing with those two is not an ideal choice.

Their combat strength is formidable; even if Grandmasters Long and Mu were to face them, they might not gain any advantage.

Instead, it would greatly delay them.

Then suddenly.

When Baiyu and his companions were about to head downstairs, an unexpected rumble came from the sky.

Normally.

The sky of the Simulation Realm is usually the calmest, only black and more black; the sound from above is already peculiar.

And this was just the beginning of the change.

Following a loud boom, a red beam shot upward from the top floor, piercing into the night sky.

Baiyu and the two Grandmasters' expressions changed.

The altar has been activated!

"Let's go upstairs."

With hardly any hesitation, Baiyu took the two Grandmasters and immediately rushed back to the top floor.

Originally thinking those two, even if not well-intentioned, wouldn't make such a fundamental error in critical issues.

But unexpectedly...

Those two seemingly earnest strong men betrayed humanity!
