Chapter 1058: Chapter 770: Cooperation

"Yes."

The manipulated Beastmen responded numbly.

Shen Tang bought some elixirs from the system that could disguise one’s aura, and gave them to the two to take.

This kind of tool can make a person’s aura weaken; usually considered useless, it unexpectedly became a handy tool for disguising.

She also applied battle damage makeup on Lu Xiao and had the Beastmen tie them up.

The main force quickly arrived.

The leading general looked at the captured Shen Tang and Lu Xiao and was stunned, even doubting his own senses.

Was the mission over so soon?

Those two fugitives were actually captured so easily?

This... Isn’t this a bit too easy?

But after verifying their identity information, they found out it was indeed the two wanted fugitives.

The two seemed severely injured and had accidentally fallen into a trap, resulting in their capture without effort.

The Beastmen in the army erupted in cheers, speaking joyfully.

"Finally caught! That’s great! The Big Boss has waited for this day for so long!"

"Hurry and take them back! The Big Boss said alive or dead, this time we can finally deliver!"

Fearing they might struggle and escape, they used special handcuffs and chains to tie them up again. This type of rope is specially made, inscribed with suppressive runes, specifically to repress Beastmen’s superpowers.

"Move! Take them to see the Big Boss!"

They then escorted the two back to the city.

...

Sky City, Royal Palace.

The main hall was brightly lit, and Mo Yan sat high up, exuding an imposing aura.

He looked much more composed than during their last meeting, and the trace of embarrassment from that day had completely disappeared, replaced by an overwhelming authority.

Seeing the two people being escorted in, a thick hatred flashed in Mo Yan’s eyes, mixed with a hint of satisfying triumph.

He stared straight at Lu Xiao, grinning sinisterly and coldly, "I knew you’d come back."

Mo Yan never believed Lu Xiao could successfully acquire the Return Nest. Such an important item was only stored in his personal space and always carried with him; Lu Xiao could never have had the chance!

Lu Xiao back then was just putting on a brave front.

So much time has passed, he surely couldn’t hold on anymore, otherwise, with his strength, he would never have been caught so easily!

Lu Xiao said nothing, just lowered his head, his entire aura exuding an indescribable weakness, his face pale, appearing indeed extremely weak, as if he didn’t even have the strength to resist after being tormented.

Looking at Lu Xiao in this state, Mo Yan was even more scornful, this is the fate of opposing him!

The current Lu Xiao was at his wits’ end, probably without any strength to resist, captured so effortlessly—he appeared to be indeed broken down completely.

Mo Yan’s eyes were full of pride and self-satisfaction; he stood up from his high seat, stepping down the steps one step at a time, "You’re here to beg me for the Return Nest?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao seemed to come alive, slightly lifted his head to look at Mo Yan, forcing his pale and cracked lips to move, as if pleading, "Can you give it to me?"

Mo Yan emitted a short, cold laugh, staring viciously at him and coldly said, "I valued you so much back then, but you dared to betray me! Betrayers will never get the Return Nest from me!"

Lu Xiao’s face seemed even paler, saying nothing more, as though admitting his tragic end.

Yet, at the very moment Mo Yan approached him, his weak aura suddenly surged, and his formidable presence exploded, a suffocating pressure spreading like a tide.

The ropes binding him instantly snapped!

All the guards in the hall were even all suppressed by this terrifying force, some of the closer Beastmen were directly blown several meters away, collapsing on the ground, unable to get up.

Not good!

Mo Yan’s pupils shrank sharply, stumbling back two steps, instinctively wanting to turn and flee.

But the next second, Lu Xiao was already in front of Mo Yan, with his long, slender hand clutching his shoulder, swiftly retreating to the throne side, pressing down.

"Bang!"

Mo Yan was pressed back into his seat, unable to move.

His face was filled with terror, trying to mobilize his superpower to resist, but Lu Xiao’s pressure was like a mountain crushing him, suppressing his superpower!

"Impudent! Release the Big Boss!" More guards outside heard the disturbance, drawing their weapons as they rushed forward.
