I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Li Xiuyu walked to Ma En's side, stood in front of the second contract, raised her arm, and was about to sign her name.

Then, a scorching gale instantly howled past, forcing all the Salvation Alliance members present to narrow their eyes, and as the temperature accompanying the storm rapidly rose, they instantly reacted differently.

Li Xiuyu's figure blurred for a moment, then appeared in another position as if displaced. Nason's slightly beer-bellied body was instantly covered with a metallic luster, and he simply allowed the high-temperature storm to batter him.

Wang Yin didn't react at all, her body only becoming slightly more ethereal for a short time.

The girl leisurely looked at the other two beside her. The shadow also didn't change at all, as if his body wasn't made of flesh and blood at all, and the high temperature had no effect on him.

But Ma En had disappeared.

It seemed that he couldn't withstand the scorching storm.

However, the high-temperature storm seemed to be just an appetizer. Before the other Salvation Alliance members could fully react, the blazing sunlight erupted like an explosion, instantly submerging the entire open space.

"Cough, cough." Wang Yin rolled awkwardly in the air.

She hadn't expected that the second attack would be sunlight, which was one of the few attack methods that wraiths had no way to deal with. If she hadn't reacted in time, she might have died just now.

After the sunlight dissipated, the scene before her was completely different from before.

Of the seven Salvation Alliance members who had come with Ma En, four were still standing firmly in place, while the other three were nowhere to be seen.

These seven represented the leaders of the Salvation Alliance from all over the Southern Federation, and this identity also meant that they possessed considerable combat power. After all, they were leaders who had been screened out through pursuit and combat.

Although three of them were currently not within her field of vision, Wang Yin was very certain that they hadn't been killed by the hot wind and light.

Because these two attacks weren't enough to turn their bodies into ashes. The minced meat and charred corpses scattered all over the open space could prove this.

The experts and other staff members in charge of this ritual, 90% of them didn't survive. The latter was an acceptable loss, but the former was a precious resource of the Federation, which was a huge waste no matter how you looked at it.

However, compared to what they were doing, these sacrifices were still worth it.

And the most at ease on the field were Shadow and the Great Demon floating in the air with a curious expression. A few seconds after the sunlight dissipated, Ma En also reappeared in his original place.

"Thank you, Ma En." A figure walked out of the dissipating sunlight and heat haze, "You have allowed me to grow."

The one who appeared was Hong Yuan, who had been resurrected. He was looking at Ma En with a sincere expression. As he spoke, a short figure burning violently appeared beside him, and it seemed that the latter was the one who had caused the recent tragedy.

"You're welcome." Ma En looked at Hong Yuan calmly, "But in my opinion, you haven't grown."

Hong Yuan revealed a curious expression:

"What do you mean by that?"

Ma En looked into his eyes and said:

"Because you made the same mistake.

"Twice."

Hong Yuan smiled:

"I can understand your thoughts, but it's actually just that you happened to be in my way. If I were a mortal, then being killed by you could indeed be considered a 'mistake'.

"I admit that you are 'stronger' than me, but unfortunately, we live in an unfair world.

"I have the opportunity to make many mistakes, but you don't. Ordinary people break their legs when they fall, and their later lives will be slower. If they get a terminal illness, they will die, but if I fall, I will be immediately sent to the best hospital, and even if I contract a disease myself, I can enjoy the best treatment plan.

"I'm sorry, but this is the cold reality."

As he spoke, Shadow had already formed a confrontation with the Son of the Sun.

The teenage Shadow asked:

"Is the Sun going to violate our agreement?"

The Son of the Sun replied in a cold tone:

"This is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with Him.

"Moreover, haven't you already violated it?"

Shadow shrugged his shoulders and said:

"We just exploited a loophole."

The Arbiter, who was watching the show with great interest, interjected:

"So I would advise my clients to use contracts that are as simple as possible."

Seeing this, Hong Yuan looked at Ma En again. Now, the correct time and place were close enough:

"Then..."

Ma En took half a step back, then instantly appeared in the distance.

Just as Hong Yuan suspected that Ma En was trying to retreat, he noticed that Shadow also didn't immediately launch an attack, and another identical body appeared in the distance. Then he realized that what was still here was just the other party's afterimage.

Moreover, Ma En and Shadow had both left the ritual range.

The Arbiter in the air was looking at Hong Yuan and the Son of the Sun expectantly, seemingly already knowing what was about to happen.

Ma En's conversation just now was just stalling for time.

After realizing this, Hong Yuan prepared to move himself and the Son of the Sun, but was surprised to notice that the space here seemed to be restricted by something.

Moreover, Shadow and Ma En didn't leave him enough time.

The ritual underground was just a core, of which only one-third was used to summon the Arbiter to sign the contract, and the remaining part was the core part of other huge magic arrays.

And this magic array now covered the entire Southern Federation, and only the Federation Investigation Department had so many resources to hold such a large-scale ritual so synchronously.

This was a trap.

Although Shadow was very confident in his strength, they still prepared this under Ma En's insistence.

As long as the ritual was successfully completed, no ability user below Tier V would be able to break free. Even if Hong Yuan could really escape from here, he would definitely suffer a considerable loss.

"What a nice trap." Hong Yuan suddenly shouted at the two in the distance, "It's a pity that you are facing me."

He had also made sufficient preparations this time and treated Ma En as a true nemesis.

Ma En and Shadow had just stalled for time, but his goal in following Ma En wasn't just to show off his power.

This was for revenge.

He didn't have no reason to kill Ma En.

Hong Yuan calmed down and carefully recalled Ma En's provocations and counterattacks just now, allowing his emotions and thoughts to constantly flow and derive with these thoughts, leading him back to the battle at that banquet.

And the cold, painful death.

He almost died at Ma En's hands.

Anger, hatred, unwillingness, humiliation...

Hong Yuan indulged his emotions to constantly churn and boil, and devoured the reality-warping power of Shenxiao around him like a whale, efficiently transforming it into another form that he had once remembered.

Revenge after death.
