Uncle Joe capsized in the gutter

Fortunately, Qin Feng had long prepared for Princess Shi Luohua of the Huangsha Tribe.

After all, this little princess had just turned eighteen, and her combat power was too weak, so she could easily die… Therefore, a while ago, when Qin Feng was sweeping high-level npcs globally, he passed by the Huangsha Tribe again and once more saw the black-robed npc, Soul Master · Ta Yi!

This guy has the ability to revive players. Although he was powerless in the face of Shanu Tou's death last time, that was because the old man refined himself into a pill, causing his Soul to scatter.

In that situation, even Qin Feng and Bai Ya couldn't revive him.

But under normal circumstances… Soul Master · Ta Yi's revival methods are absolutely a top-tier extraordinary ability in the current Yōlán Civilization!

And when Qin Feng passed by the Huangsha Tribe, he discovered that this npc was following Princess Shi Luohua every step of the way, whether she was taken out to level up or was in the Hideout… With Qin Feng's current perception ability, he easily gleaned information from within the Huangsha Tribe city.

It turned out that the news of Qin Feng sweeping high-level npcs everywhere had already spread throughout the Yōlán Civilization… Soul Master · Ta Yi was originally quite laid-back, even a bit aloof.

But after the news of Qin Feng sweeping high-level npcs spread, he didn't dare to slack off anymore, protecting Princess Shi Luohua at all times!

With his protection, Qin Feng naturally felt at ease.

Although, as an npc, his combat power would be limited by the npc template, and perhaps sometimes he couldn't protect Princess Shi Luohua from being killed… After all, Princess Shi Luohua's combat power was too weak, and if she was ambushed and instantly killed, Soul Master · Ta Yi really couldn't stop it.

After all, as an npc, he could only act in self-defense and couldn't preemptively strike down an attacker.

But even if Princess Shi Luohua was killed, his ability could bring her back to life!

This was the greatest assurance!

…Just as Princess Shi Luohua was revived, and Qin Feng felt his status return, intending to begin the Reincarnation Challenge of the blood source ancient god.

Outside the castle of the Huangsha Tribe in the Yōlán Civilization!

A scruffy middle-aged man was hiding behind a sand dune.

He saw from afar that Princess Shi Luohua, who he had controlled a monster to kill with lightning speed, was actually revived, and his face turned extremely ugly!

This middle-aged man was Uncle Qiao, a man from the Huangsha Tribe who had returned from the Order Land with Man Xi and Betrayer.

He originally wanted to come back and negotiate with Princess Shi Luohua, asking her to give him the Youlan Council member position… But when he returned to the Huangsha Tribe area and secretly inquired about some news, he realized that his request was simply impossible to achieve.

Because this little princess, Shi Luohua, was actually the woman of 'Shadow 007'!

It was said that because of Shanu Tou's actions before his death, as long as this little princess survived, she could provide a certain buff to Shadow 007!

How could Uncle Qiao tolerate this?

But directly confronting 'Shadow 007' would surely be suicide.

So he adopted a circuitous tactic.

He had an equipment, a green helmet called 'Helmet of Domination', which could 100% control a monster after beating it to low health!

Then he found a Platinum-level BOSS that could stealthily ambush, beat it to low health, and controlled it… Then he manipulated this Platinum-level 'Capricorn Hunter · Ulahur' to instantly approach and kill Princess Shi Luohua!

For this plan, Uncle Qiao also had other means to cover himself.

First was a mask, which, when activated, would make the kill notification heard by the target he killed, including the target's guild, state that they died by an 'Unknown Entity'.

This would prevent Uncle Qiao from being exposed!

Additionally, Uncle Qiao, being from the Huangsha Tribe, naturally knew there was a Soul Master npc around Princess Shi Luohua who could revive people.

So, while he was manipulating the BOSS Capricorn Hunter to kill Princess Shi Luohua, he also put a talisman on the Capricorn Hunter, allowing the Capricorn Hunter to shatter the target's Soul as well if it killed the target within a certain period!

But he never expected… that the npc Soul Master · Ta Yi not only stayed by Princess Shi Luohua's side but also used Soul-stabilizing methods to protect Princess Shi Luohua's Soul!

"This kind of Soul-stabilizing method requires consuming a massive amount of divinity!"

"How could this Soul Master npc be so wasteful?!"

"Keeping that little girl's Soul from scattering at every moment?"

Uncle Qiao was shocked.

But even now, Uncle Qiao didn't think it was a big deal.

After all, the one who ambushed Princess Shi Luohua was an 'Unknown Entity' monster. What did that have to do with him, Uncle Qiao?

No one present had discovered his whereabouts at all!

And after the successful ambush, Uncle Qiao manipulated the Capricorn Hunter to self-destruct. The scene was a mess, and even if one wanted to check the Capricorn Hunter BOSS's memory, there was no way to do so.

But, just then… Uncle Qiao suddenly felt as if countless eyes were staring at him from a void!

He quietly peeked out from behind the sand dune and looked towards the chaotic scene in the distance… He actually saw the npc Soul Master · Ta Yi, wrapped like a black mummy, indeed looking in his direction!

"Look at your sister!"

Uncle Qiao cursed under his breath, then turned to escape.

Uncle Qiao used an Order called 'Mist Form'. If the Order wasn't broken, anyone who saw him would only see a cloud of smoke, unable to see his true form, let alone ascertain his identity.

He relied on his combat power being stronger than everyone else in the Huangsha Tribe. If he wanted to run, no one could stop him!

Although the Soul Master's combat power was strong, npcs couldn't actively attack players… Consuming divinity to counteract an Order was also considered 'attacking'.

Therefore, the npc couldn't even counteract his Order, and even if it noticed the mist was a player, it couldn't see who the person in the mist truly was!

However… just as Uncle Qiao was about to turn and run.

He suddenly heard a system prompt… —

【Soul Master · Ta Yi is temporarily unaffected by the Order of 'Mist Form'!】

【Soul Master · Ta Yi is temporarily unaffected by the Order of 'Invalid Corruption'!】

【Soul Master · Ta Yi is temporarily unaffected by the Order of 'Melee Invincibility'!】

【…】

—

This series of system prompts made Uncle Qiao's face change dramatically, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!

Uncle Qiao was all too familiar with this series of system prompts… This meant that all nine Orders on him had been counteracted by the npc consuming divinity!

His inability to hide his identity was secondary… The most serious part was that the npc could counteract his Orders, which also meant it could directly attack him!

"What in the world is going on?!"

Uncle Qiao ran like mad, turning to flee!

However, as soon as he took off, he found that he couldn't move at all… he had been silently controlled!
