Chapter 1059: The Two Kings Part Ways

Wuji Realm.

Amidst the ruins of the streets, several figures were moving rapidly.

"Why are there Calamities involved in this too?" Jian Changsheng looked from afar at the Calamities clashing with the Arbitrator Proxies and couldn't help but speak up. "Red Heart, those aren't here for you too, are they?"

"I shouldn't think so. I have no connection with the Calamities."

Chen Ling shook his head.

"Looking at them, they don't seem like pure Calamities... It's highly likely they are from the Fusion Faction," Sun Bumian said thoughtfully.

"The Fusion Faction?" Jian Changsheng pondered. "Come to think of it, we've encountered people from the Twilight Society, the Fire-Tamperers, and the Jiangtian Sect, but we really haven't run into anyone from the Fusion Faction... Is this organization actually still alive?"

"They are alive," Han Meng, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"Two years ago, traces of the Fusion Faction appeared around the Aurora Realm. They seemed to be conducting some kind of experiment around the Forbidden Sea... It's just that they are too low-profile, and their area of activity is mostly in the Gray Realm, so there is very little intelligence on them in the human realms."

"I don't know the Fusion Faction either, so they shouldn't be coming for me..." Chen Ling added a hesitant "right?" at the end.

"Your reputation is already big enough, Red Heart."

Jian Changsheng began counting on his fingers. "The Red King gave the order, four [K]s were sent to deliver letters, the entire Twilight Society was mobilized, plus Officer Han Meng, and the little girl with the GPS path... Hmm? Where did she go??"

Only then did Jian Changsheng seem to remember something, looking around in confusion.

"Who?"

"That girl from the Red Dust Realm... what was her name... Liu Qingyan?" Jian Changsheng scratched his head. "She was the one who led us to your location, but after we rescued you, she seems to have disappeared?"

In Chen Ling's mind, the image of a young girl in a black dress immediately surfaced, and he felt a bit surprised.

She actually came too?

Liu Qingyan's path seemed capable of finding his location, so Chen Ling wasn't surprised she could track him down... But since she came, why was she hiding from him? Liu Qingyan's rank wasn't high, and the Wuji Realm was so dangerous right now; he hoped she wouldn't run into any trouble wandering around alone.

Just as Chen Ling was worrying, Sun Bumian's voice sounded from the side:

"Red Heart, where are we going now?"

"To find someone."

"Who?"

"The people whose memories were swapped."

Chen Ling looked down at the phantom revolver in his hand and answered calmly.

This was the Silver King's ability to swap his life with Fang Liangye's, and also the ability used to control the four Arbitrator Proxies: the [Yesterday Revolver].

When the revolver's cylinder began to spin, the "past of yesterday" would be shuffled disorderly like bullets in the chamber. Only the person pulling the trigger knew whose "yesterday" would replace whose "life." This was the terrifying effect of the Tier 8 skill of the [Borrowing the Moon] path...

Swapping lives.

Because the [Borrowing the Moon] path was monopolized by the Silver King, he was the only person in the world who controlled this ability. It was also by relying on this ability that he kept the four human prodigies firmly in his palm...

And now, the second person in the world to possess the [Yesterday Revolver] had appeared.

But to use the [Yesterday Revolver] to swap back the lives of the four Arbitrator Proxies, one had to first find where their original "yesterdays" had been replaced to, which was undoubtedly a difficult task in the current chaotic Wuji Realm.

"Are we going to the church dungeon? It should have been destroyed by now, right?"

"The Fire-Tamperers have likely already taken advantage of the chaos to move those four... It won't be easy to find them."

"Should we split up to look?"

"No, it's too dangerous to split up now..."

Just as the four of them were discussing in low voices, Han Meng, who had been moving forward in silence, suddenly seemed to sense something and reached out to stop Chen Ling and the others...

He stared at the street ahead, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Hazy dust drifted in the air as three figures walked slowly toward them.

One of them wore low-key black clothes and carried luggage, trailing behind; another was holding the hand of a petite young girl, with brows like swords and eyes like abysses... The moment they appeared, Chen Ling's brows furrowed tightly.

"Ying Fu...?"

Han Meng, Jian Changsheng, Sun Bumian, and Jiang Xiaohua all entered a state of alert, their Divine Paths and mental energy ready to be unleashed.

"Why did we run into this unlucky guy at a time like this?" Jian Changsheng muttered. "They are both Tier 7; if a fight breaks out, we'll be at a disadvantage..."

Mo Lian himself was a Saint of Thieves, and after being subdued as a subject, Ying Fu himself had reached the Tier 7 level... As for Chen Ling's side, apart from Han Meng being Tier 7, the others were not high-ranking, and combined, they were no match for a Saint of Thieves.

"So what if there are two Tier 7s?" Han Meng replied calmly. "If they want to fight, I can accompany them to the end all by myself."

There was a calm, absolute confidence in Han Meng's tone... which made Jian Changsheng look at him twice, feeling a mix of envy and helplessness.

"Why, are you here to help the Silver King kill me?" Chen Ling looked at Ying Fu and asked with a frown.

"If I wanted to help the Silver King, you would have died days ago," Ying Fu said indifferently. "I came this time to give you a gift..."

"A gift?"

Chen Ling was stunned; he never expected Ying Fu to give him a gift at a time like this.

With a glance from Ying Fu, Mo Lian behind him raised his hand, and four figures walked out one after another. Their forms were incredibly disheveled, and traces of shackles still remained on their bodies, but their eyes were like stars in the dark night, bright and clear.

Seeing these four, Chen Ling immediately thought of something. "These are..."

"The fact that you could swap memories back with Fang Liangye shows that you have a way to counter the Silver King's ability... And these four are the keys carrying the memories of the four Arbitrator Proxies."

Chen Ling scanned the four of them and asked, puzzled:

"Why are you helping me?"

"I have never owed anyone a favor."

The four people had been delivered, and Ying Fu didn't want to say anything more to Chen Ling. He took Ah Qian's hand and turned to walk out of the Wuji Realm.

"I give these four to you as repayment for you helping me out of a tight spot. From now on, we are completely even...

The next time we meet, you and I will be mortal enemies."

The cold glint in Ying Fu's eyes swept over the people beside Chen Ling. Although he only had Mo Lian by his side now, if he wanted to, he could still suppress Chen Ling here, or even find an opportunity to kill him... But Ying Fu did not intend to do so.

The struggle between the two kings was a destiny that could not be avoided, but the timing was definitely not now.

Ying Fu's back gradually faded into the distance at the end of the street. The three of them left the Wuji Realm entirely and entered the Gray Realm. No one knew where they intended to go, but Chen Ling knew very well that Ying Fu's words, "the next time we meet, we will be mortal enemies," were definitely not just empty talk...

Chen Ling moved his gaze away from the distance and refocused on the four people in front of him.

"Now... things are simple."
