The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1067: Chapter 125: The Death of Matthew

After Sarlon left, Xu Mo did not leave the area, but walked back.

When Sarlon first came, he tried to make a favorable impression on him, deliberately doing him a favor by pointing out that he had offended someone.

Heath O’Brien had previously attempted to win him over, but was refused. He should have known that Xu Mo wouldn’t agree, yet Heath O’Brien persisted and sent Sarlon. So, what motive makes Heath O’Brien attempt once again?

Who is the person Xu Mo offended?

As Xu Mo walked, he saw a group of people from the Mystic God Temple ahead.

“Xu Mo,” someone called out. On this trip, the people from the Mystic God Temple had suffered considerable losses, and now the Transcendents in this area were all top figures.

The one calling him was Iz, the foremost figure of Willton’s Divine Temple, who had once been defeated by Xu Mo, but now he put aside his prejudices and showed no hostility towards Xu Mo.

“Iz,” Xu Mo responded.

“Why have you come over here again?” Iz asked with a smile. He noticed that Xu Mo didn’t seem to want to get too close to the republic’s Transcendents on Heath O’Brien’s side, having always avoided them. So why did he voluntarily come over here now?

“Iz, there’s something I wanted to ask you,” Xu Mo said.

“Go ahead,” Iz replied.

“Earlier, Sarlon came to chat with me about some matters concerning me. Did any Transcendent from the Mystic God Temple mention anything about me during your trip?” Xu Mo asked.

“There were a few mentions, but they were all praises for your strength and potential. Especially Matthew from your Chloe Star Mystic God Temple, who spoke very highly of you,” Iz said.

“Matthew?” Xu Mo thought of this person, sensing that the problem might lie with him.

This Matthew always gave him a bad feeling, hiding malice beneath his smile.

There seemed to be nothing visibly abnormal, but he gave the impression of being deeply scheming.

However, Xu Mo hadn’t had much contact with Matthew and certainly no actual conflict of interest.

“By the way, I just saw Matthew chatting with Heath for a while. I wonder if they talked about you. What did Sarlon discuss with you?” Iz asked. He wasn’t thinking much into it, supposing that with Xu Mo’s talent and strength, it was only natural for Sarlon to come on Heath O’Brien’s behalf to win Xu Mo over.

Perhaps Matthew’s role was to make a recommendation.

After all, both Matthew and Xu Mo were from Chloe Star’s Mystic God Temple, and now Xu Mo could be considered a representative figure of Chloe Star’s Mystic God Temple, replacing Aresta.

The former leading figure, Aresta, certainly couldn’t be Xu Mo’s opponent now.

In this context, Iz hadn’t suspected that Matthew would harm Xu Mo.

“Nothing much really, Sarlon hoped I could have more contact with Mr. Heiss,” Xu Mo said. Iz nodded, finding it consistent with his guess that Heath O’Brien wanted to win over Xu Mo, given his immense potential.

Heath has always wanted to bring Transcendents from the Mystic God Temple to his side.

“I’ll head back now,” Xu Mo said, then turned and left the area. As he walked back, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Matthew must have said something to Heath O’Brien.

However, exactly what was said, Xu Mo couldn’t guess.

Since that’s the case, he could only see it for himself in Matthew’s memory.

…

People from the Mystic God Temple and the republic were undergoing trials in this area, and Xu Mo felt he was being watched.

Republic Transcendents always appeared in the area surrounding him.

This made him even more puzzled. Previously, Heath O’Brien had tried to win him over but did nothing further when it failed.

This time, he even had people monitoring him. What was he trying to do?

He was more curious about what Matthew had told Heath O’Brien.

Since it was so, he could only investigate on his own.

At this moment, many people from the O’Brian Republic and the Mystic God Temple were still undergoing trials in various places, hunting Monsters.

Suddenly, a large number of powerful Monsters appeared in one direction.

“Watch out, there’s a Monster horde,” someone shouted. The people from the Mystic God Temple immediately displayed vigilance, looking towards the distant direction where huge Monsters were approaching from various positions, in the air and on the ground.

In an instant, a tremendous oppressive force spread, pressing down on the space.

“Hmm?”

On the hillside, Heath O’Brien frowned as he looked at the oncoming Monsters in the distance. What was going on? A sudden Monster horde appeared.

“Protect the Prince,”

Sarlon said, and the people around began to close ranks. Although Heath O’Brien himself was very strong in combat, given his noble status, it was still necessary to take precautions to prevent any accidents.

Xu Mo soon noticed that those who were watching him gradually retreated.

His perceptive power spread, covering an incredibly vast area, and then he stepped in a certain direction, shockingly towards the location of the Transcendents from the Mystic God Temple.

The speed of the monster horde was extremely fast, and many were top-tier monsters at the brink of crisis, instantly pouncing upon this area, attacking the Transcendents of the O’Brian Republic and the Mystic God Temple crowd.

“Be careful.” Proto’s figure soared into the air, charging directly at a monster.

Beside him, a terrifying nebula appeared above Oxso’s head, within an instant, countless sharp swords burst forth, slaughtering out, piercing into the massive monster’s body, causing it to emit a miserable howl.

“These monsters are very strong, quite a few at the pinnacle of crisis level, and there are a great number, don’t be careless,” Proto loudly proclaimed after slaying a monster.

One by one, the ferocious monsters pounced in, more and more, quickly scattering many people, with the Transcendents of the Mystic God Temple fighting on their own.

A large group of Republic Transcendents gathered around Heath O’Brien, protecting him.

“Something’s off about these monsters,” said Sarlon. “Be careful, it might be an attack plotted by the Kales Empire.”

The Transcendents of the Kales Empire entered the Empire Trial Field with Xu Mo’s monsters, so it’s normal for some Transcendents to control monsters.

This sudden attack by a monster horde was unusual, making him associate it with the Kales Empire.

Heath O’Brien frowned tightly.

Is this the Kales Empire’s trump card?

If that’s the case, the Kales Empire may have follow-up moves, as it’s unlikely they believe just the monsters alone could kill him.

“Be careful, try to minimize combat power loss,” ordered Sarlon, as the group formed a battle formation, guarding around Heath O’Brien’s body. Compared to the Mystic God Temple Transcendents, these soldiers loyal to the Republic Leader’s son were more adept at large-scale battles.

However, the monster horde assaulting the Republic Transcendents was the largest, wave after wave, extremely frantic. It wasn’t long before several Republic Transcendents were killed by the monsters.

Elsewhere, Matthew was in a fierce battle with the monsters, his brow furrowed, his expression very unpleasant.

Several fierce monsters charged at him, he slew one, but the other monsters seemed to have targeted him, relentlessly attacking him.

“What’s going on?”

Matthew’s face darkened. In front of him, a huge monster with a body shimmering in dark golden luster, looking like it had scales, madly attacked him. This monster’s skin was extremely tough, hard to penetrate with spikes, and another monster could emit sharp sonic attacks, affecting him.

“Ugh…”

A sharp pain hit, and Matthew’s back was struck, sharp claws tearing through the protective armor, leaving a blood mark.

“Help me,” Matthew shouted, but the Transcendents of the Mystic God Temple around him were also being held up by the monsters, and no one could help him.

He struggled to fend off, soon more blood marks appeared on his body, and he was hit and sent flying.

Matthew’s Source Power erupted, still trying to struggle, when a powerful spiritual power suddenly invaded. This spiritual power was extremely overbearing, forcibly intruding, causing Matthew’s head to shake violently, his face pale.

This isn’t a monster; it’s a Transcendent invasion!

Who is it?

“Boom…” His head shook violently, and then he felt like he was about to faint, sensing his memories being scrutinized.

At this moment, a figure appeared in Matthew’s mind, his heart pounded violently, feeling a sense of despair.

That figure was Xu Mo!

“Are you controlling the monsters?” A thought arose in Matthew’s mind.

“Yes,” Xu Mo’s voice seemed to echo in his mind, “You can die now.”

The spiritual power continued to attack, while outside, the monsters cooperated perfectly with Xu Mo’s actions. A massive claw came crashing down, directly crushing Matthew’s head, blood splattering, and Matthew died a gruesome death on the spot.

Elsewhere, Xu Mo was also feigning a battle with the monsters, his face extremely somber at this time. He had already obtained the answers he wanted from Matthew’s memory.

Earlier, when Heath O’Brien had Sarlon come to find him, he felt something was wrong.

And then, when people from the republic began to monitor him, he keenly sensed something was off. If it was merely a failed recruitment, why would they monitor him?

Unless Heath O’Brien wanted to deal with him.

Thus, Xu Mo orchestrated this monster attack and took the opportunity to probe Matthew’s memory.

He got the answers he sought; Matthew, surprisingly, told Heath O’Brien that the Ancient Book might be on him and Zero.

Thus, Heath O’Brien harbored ill intents.

If before, he had agreed to Sarlon’s offer to become Heath O’Brien’s person, it might have been fine, but he refused, so Heath O’Brien very likely would come after him.

Furthermore, he saw other parts of Matthew’s memory regarding his ‘true identity.’ He was not just a Transcendent of the Mystic God Temple, but also an undercover identity. Besides wanting his life, he aimed to incite direct conflict between the republic and the Mystic God Temple, with ulterior motives.

Therefore, Matthew absolutely didn’t die unjustly; his death was well-deserved.

Of course, it was the monsters that killed Matthew, and it had nothing to do with him.

As for Heath O’Brien… thinking of this, a murderous glint flashed in Xu Mo’s dark eyes. Now, Heath O’Brien and Sarlon had become direct threats to his and Zero’s life.
