Xu Wei said softly, and with a wave of his hand, the three sets of championship prizes floating in the air flew down.

Lin Moyu felt slightly strange.

"If you need anything, come find me." Is this considered recruitment?

Ning Yiyi whispered, "That sounded a bit strange."

She felt that something wasn't right, but she couldn't put her finger on what exactly.

Lin Moyu had the same feeling and found it rather odd.

Someone heard the name Xu Wei and immediately guessed the person's identity.

Xu Wei, one of the twelve councilors of the Shenxia Empire, a true high-ranking official of the empire, and a big shot who could influence imperial policy.

"No wonder he looked familiar. So it's Councilor Xu Wei."

"Councilor Xu Wei is one of the twelve imperial councilors, a real big shot."

"Is he more powerful than God Bai?"

"It's different. God Bai is a God-level Professionals and the pillar of the empire."

Xu Wei was strong, powerful, and held great authority.

But compared to God Bai, he was still a little lacking.

Even so, he was high and mighty enough.

The three championship prizes automatically flew in front of the three winning teams.

Xu Wei personally handed the prizes to them.

He handed the chest containing gold coins, the Magical Potion, and the glowing skill scroll to Lin Moyu, "Young man, if you are in any trouble, you can come find me."

Without waiting for Lin Moyu to reply, Xu Wei turned to Ning Yiyi and said, "Give my regards to Elder Ning. When I have time, I will come to visit."

Ning Yiyi nodded, "Okay."

Duan Gao asked in a low voice, "Yiyi, do you know Councilor Xu?"

Ning Yiyi shook her head, "No, I don't."

"Then why?"

Ning Yiyi said, "Maybe he knows me."

Duan Gao was about to ask more, but Miao Yu pulled him, signaling him to stop.

They all knew that Ning Yiyi came from an extraordinary background, and it was possible that her family elders were acquainted with Xu Wei.

After Xu Wei finished presenting the prizes, he announced loudly.

"The team tournament for those under level 40 is officially over. The individual tournament will be held here tomorrow. Please be prepared, contestants."

"I wish all contestants good results."

After finishing, Xu Wei flew away.

In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from everyone's sight.

Since the start of the Professionals Tournament, the Shenxia Empire had not held any grand ceremonies.

Even the award ceremony was this simple and casual.

Such behavior was very much in line with the straightforward style of Professionals.

There was no need for beating around the bush; being direct was enough.

Only power is real; everything else is weak.

Lin Moyu looked at the chest, potion, and scroll in front of him and reached out to take the chest.

The moment his fingers touched the chest, he felt like something was wrong.

It felt as if a breath of energy had seeped into his body.

He carefully sensed it, but found nothing.

Thinking he had misfelt, he didn't pay it any mind.

Lin Moyu put the chest away; 50 million gold coins to be split among everyone later.

10 million each was not much to him, but it was a significant amount for Jiang Taotao and the others.

Duan Gao was already drooling, eager to split the money.

Lin Moyu picked up the God Bai Potion, and the Detection Spell popped up.

[Primary Magical Potion: All attributes +200 permanently. Only effective when consumed for the first time.]

A permanent +200 to all attributes—although 200 attribute points was just a drop in the bucket for the late game.

But in the early stages, it was a very good bonus, comparable to a piece of Gold-tier equipment.

The Primary Magical Potion was priceless and unavailable; you couldn't buy it even if you had the money.

Someone once offered 100 million gold coins to buy it, but they couldn't get one.

The only drawback was that it could only be used once.

If one wanted to continue permanently increasing attributes, they would have to consume Intermediate Magical Potions and Advanced Magical Potions in the future.

Lin Moyu tossed the potion to Ning Yiyi, "Eat it."

At the same time, he put away the glowing skill scroll.

In the White God Courtyard.

When Lin Moyu made contact with the chest, Meng Anwen spoke up, "The fish has taken the bait."

Bai Yiyuan raised an eyebrow, "Who is it?"

Meng Anwen said in a deep voice, "Xu Wei. Although I can't be certain yet, it's highly likely. Let me take another look; I'll be able to confirm it soon."

Ning Tairan whispered, "It's actually him… Look carefully, don't make a mistake."

"If it really is him, then this is a huge matter. I didn't expect that the people from the Demon Worshipping Society had infiltrated to this extent."

Chapter 184: The Elder Sister is Also Bait, Drawing Out the Demon Worshipping Society

As one of the twelve councilors of the Shenxia Empire, Xu Wei held a lofty position.

It could be said that he was second only to God Bai and the others.

If he had been infiltrated, it wouldn't just be a huge matter for the Shenxia Empire; it would be a terrible disaster for the entire human race.

If even the high-ranking officials of the Shenxia Empire had been infiltrated, one could only imagine the state of the high-ranking officials in other small countries and factions.

Meng Anwen closed his eyes and said nothing, continuing to observe.

This was no small matter; even he had to confirm it carefully.

The team tournament concluded, and Lin Moyu and Ning Yiyi came to the high-level arena.

The competition in the high-level arena had also ended.

Prizes were being presented.

The presenter was still Councilor Xu Wei.

The team Lin Mohan was in had won first place in the level 40 category.

In the history of the Professionals Tournament, whenever Chuangshen Academy participated in a category, they were absolutely first place; there had never been an exception.

In the Xiajing Academy, there were three top academies: Chuangshen, Chuangshi, and Yanhuang.

Chuangshen always firmly held the first position.

In the high-level arena, there were the same three categories and the same three sets of championship prizes.

500 million gold coins, a glowing Intermediate skill scroll, and an Intermediate Magical Potion.

The Intermediate Magical Potion permanently increased all attributes by 2000.

This was base attribute, which was not a small amount for a level 40-something Professional.

Lin Moyu felt very happy to see Lin Mohan win the championship.

But when he saw the chest containing the gold coins, that feeling of something being wrong surfaced again.

He felt that there seemed to be something bad on the chest.

"Yiyi, use your skill to observe the chest containing the gold coins."

Ning Yiyi was very obedient and immediately activated her skill.

Skill: Shadow Vision.

The world in Ning Yiyi's eyes changed instantly.

The colorful world turned into black and white.

Even things hidden in the deepest places could not escape Ning Yiyi's eyes.

If she wanted to, she could even see the gold coins inside the chest clearly.

Under Shadow Vision, Ning Yiyi discovered something wrong.

"There is indeed a problem. I see a wisp of black energy in the gold coin chest."

"It feels a bit like the aura of an Abyssal Demon, but not quite."

Ning Yiyi was not too sure.

She had encountered Abyssal Demons, and it felt somewhat similar.

Lin Moyu was only able to sense that something was wrong because he had also encountered Abyssal Demons.

Now that Ning Yiyi mentioned it, he was completely certain.

At this moment, Lin Mohan made contact with the gold coin chest.

Ning Yiyi whispered, "That black energy has moved to Sister Han's wrist."

Ning Yiyi's little face looked nervous as she looked at Lin Moyu, and she let out another low cry, "Moyu, you have it on your wrist too."

"Huh, I have it on my hand too."

The black energy passed through the chest to enter Lin Mohan, then dispersed and seeped into the hands of every Professional on the winning teams.

The black energy lurked there, motionless, completely undetectable.

Obviously, this black energy was highly unusual.

Ning Yiyi added, "Sister Han has already discovered the black energy, but she hasn't reacted at all; instead, she just smiled."

Under Shadow Vision, even Lin Mohan's slightest reaction could not escape Ning Yiyi's eyes.

Another thought arose in Lin Moyu's mind, "Could it be that my sister is also bait to draw out the Demon Worshipping Society?"

He remembered what Bai Yiyuan had told him—that he was not the only bait.

Now that he thought about it, this was highly likely.

Otherwise, Lin Mohan's reaction could not be explained.

Lin Moyu carefully recalled what Bai Yiyuan had told him at the time.

He was to act as bait, displaying his outstanding talent to root out the enemies hiding among humans.

Among the human race, there was a group of rats hiding.

They called themselves the Demon Worshipping Society.

Every member of the society worshipped the Abyss Demon King and wanted to help the Abyss Demon King invade the human world.

No one knew why they were like this; in any case, this was what they did.

There had been several tragedies in human history that were caused by them.

Two years ago, several geniuses in the Shenxia Empire were assassinated by them.

At that time, Bai Yiyuan had taken action and killed a few, but unfortunately, they were all small fry.

This time, Bai Yiyuan was using Lin Moyu as bait to try and draw out a bigger fish.
