Chapter 2525 Get In The Car
A high-tier occult scholar took a deep breath, suppressing the fear within, and said in a steady voice, "Everyone, there's no need to pursue. Focus your energy and continue maintaining the operation of the star magic array."
"Understood!"
The others bowed their heads, refocusing on controlling the magic array.
Meanwhile, Fang Heng was quickly retreating from the Star Mage Tower.
The intelligence had been incorrect; the Book of Greleng was not hidden within the Star Mage Tower.
Something felt off, but with time pressing, he had no opportunity to think it through.
This trip to the tower hadn't been entirely fruitless, as he had managed to gather a significant amount of demonic seed energy.
Upon leaving the mage tower, Fang Heng's brow furrowed.
In less than half an hour, the high-tier hell creatures summoned from the Hell Gate had completely breached the occult association's interior, rampaging through the headquarters.
The scholars were retreating in disarray, having fallen back to the core area. Reinforcements from the Federation, which had gathered to assist, were also being blocked by the hellish beings.
The situation was dire.
At present, the Book of Greleng had yet to be found, and the side mission to assist the Conservatives in repelling the Revolutionary Society's attack remained unfinished.
The Conservatives seemed surprisingly weak. He hoped a single offensive from the Revolutionary Society wouldn't truly sweep them away.
Fang Heng thought for a moment, closed his eyes, and began to form an imprint with his hands in front of him. He remotely commanded Abe Akaya to stop channeling energy into the Hell Gate.
As a key intermediary in the energy absorption process of the Hell Gate, cutting off his power would leave the gate without a source of energy.
The projection of the Hell Gate gradually grew faint, and even the summoned monsters from within it experienced a significant drop in power.
Perfect.
That should do it.
Seeing this, Fang Heng immediately made his way toward the tower domain.
...
Outside the headquarters of the Conservatives, Guillermo noticed that the Hell Gate's magic array had grown faint and was even beginning to cease summoning hellish creatures. His brow furrowed deeply.
Victory had been within reach. They were just a step away from completely crushing the Conservatives!
Yet now, problems had arisen!
Guillermo immediately contacted the research personnel at headquarters, his voice sharp with urgency, "What's going on?"
"Supervisor, the energy absorption rate of the demonic seed has suddenly dropped significantly. We are currently investigating the issue, and it appears likely that the vine creatures summoned by Fang Heng are the cause."
Fang Heng!
Guillermo's pupils contracted sharply.
He knew that the president had deliberately fed Fang Heng false information to lure him to the Star Mage Tower. However, he wasn't clear about the president's true intentions.
Could it be that this brat had accidentally been taken out, causing the vines he controlled to become ineffective?
Guillermo had no time to ponder further. He quickly instructed, "Switch to the backup passage and channel energy into the Hell Gate! Now!"
"Yes, understood!"
...
Fang Heng hadn't known the exact location of the White Mage Tower, so he decided to head toward where the crowd was. The area guarded by the Conservatives was more likely to be where the Book of Greleng was located. If worse came to worst, he could always ask someone for directions.
As he made his way through the chaotic inner circle of the conservative faction, he suddenly heard someone call his name.
"Fang Heng!"
He paused, took off his mask, and turned to see Ruan Ziying.
"Fang Heng, it really is you."
Ruan Ziying had only caught a glimpse of his back and thought the person's appearance and attire resembled the Fang Heng she had seen before, which prompted her to call out.
Upon seeing him turn around, she quickly approached and said, "Fang Heng, the conservative headquarters is under attack. The Federation reinforcement teams have already joined the battle, and more support will arrive soon."
"I came with the Federation people."
"Right." Fang Heng nodded lightly, then glanced toward the already chaotic inner circle and asked, "Where are they?"
"Them? Who do you mean?"
"The people from the Revolution Society."
"They were trying to attack the gathering area of the mage tower within the headquarters, and it was on the verge of falling. Suddenly, the hell creatures had been significantly weakened..."
Is that so...
Fang Heng frowned at the news.
The White Tower should be located near those mage towers.
The members of the Revolution Society had locked their sights directly on that place because the Book of Greleng was also there?
Or did they have other objectives?
Several thoughts flashed through Fang Heng's mind.
In any case, the mission target given by the game was indeed the Book of Greleng.
Completing the mission was the priority.
He suppressed his doubts for the moment.
However, the area around the White Tower had already become the focal point of the battle, and he wasn't sure of the specifics. Wandering around aimlessly would not help.
He decided to take things step by step and head over to assess the situation.
Ruan Ziying watched Fang Heng for a long time without saying a word. After a moment, she cautiously asked, "Did you just come from the Star Mage Tower? Was there a problem inside?"
"Shh."
Fang Heng made a gesture for her to be quiet. "Do me a favor and pretend you didn't see anything just now."
Ruan Ziying's heart sank, and she looked at him with a strange expression, thinking to herself, Could it be that you already knew the Revolution Society was coming here?
Even...
A bold guess formed in Ruan Ziying's mind: what if this entire invasion by the Revolution Society was actually planned by him?
Goodness!
She knew Fang Heng could never stay idle.
"Uh-huh, I understand." Ruan Ziying took a deep breath as if making a firm decision. She continued, "Mr. Fang, is there some kind of operation? Can I join you? Just a share of the benefits is fine."
Thinking carefully, after so many years in Watts, starting as a spy for the Federation, she had only managed to become an ordinary infiltrator.
She hadn't gained much in terms of real benefits.
Now looking at Mr. Fang, who had made a fortune in just a few days, she thought it would be better to stick with him.
A quick score and then she could walk away!
"What? You want to get on board?" Fang Heng glanced at Ruan Ziying and asked, "Do you have a way to help me get into the White Tower?"
"The White Tower? I know how to get there! What do you need to do there?"
"To get the Book of Greleng."
Goodness!
So Fang Heng was planning something big!
The target turned out to be the conservative library!
Noticing Ruan Ziying's expression, Fang Heng asked, "Do you know about the Book of Greleng?"
"Yes, I know!"
Seeing the opportunity to get on board, Ruan Ziying nodded eagerly and quickly explained, "Several founders wrote the Book of Greleng of the conservative faction. It's said to contain various details about hell demons, including the secrets of different demonic seeds."
"The Society has showcased the Book of Greleng a few times before. Isn't it extremely valuable?"
Ruan Ziying felt a rush of excitement.
Previously, she had only thought of the Book of Greleng as a high-tier mission item.
Now, seeing Fang Heng's serious demeanor, she realized that the Revolution Society was causing such a commotion just to obtain it.
It must be worth a lot!
