The Commander's proposal was quite sincere.

Baiyu didn't need to exert himself to hunt and kill the dangerous Xiang Liu; he only needed to provide support, and he could still get a third of the share. This proportion was evidently quite favorable.

Right now, he still didn't understand what exactly contribution points could be exchanged for.

But he thought.

If even the Commander valued them so highly, they must not be easy to obtain. Perhaps they could be exchanged for a lot of good things.

There were plenty of good things in the Divine Court.

Just the Moon Lord's core technique, the Moon Spirit Divine Heaven Seal, Baiyu was still studying it.

It was more profound than many other core techniques.

One could imagine.

Besides the Moon Lord's core technique, other things in the Divine Court are definitely not of low quality either.

Baiyu was tempted.

Besides, eliminating Xiang Liu would bring rewards from the Divine Court and contribute to Mountain City.

Xiang Liu was a traitorous martial artist.

If he were allowed to stay in the city, it could potentially cause even greater harm, especially since he had dealings with foreign tribes.

This made it even more imperative that he couldn't be allowed to live.

Baiyu thought for a moment and said, "Since we are both members of the Divine Court, if you, Commander, need help, it is my duty to assist.

Have you tracked Xiang Liu's location?

If you have, I can help clear the surrounding environment, providing you with a place to take action."

The Commander nodded: "I roughly know his location, and by then, I'll still need your assistance."

"Let's meet and discuss this matter in detail; let's meet in the Inner City District."

Baiyu stood up and agreed on a meeting time with the Commander, only then retreating from this brief Tidal World.

Following this.

He promptly gathered his subordinates to start planning the operation against Xiang Liu.

...

Outer City, Iron Stone District.

A man carefully opened a roadside inn's iron door, which squeaked with rust, the old hinges near the point of breaking, as though it might give way at any second.

The man looked around.

Seeing the deserted, dark, and damp street, he finally felt relieved and entered the room.

As soon as he entered.

He took off the thick coat he was wearing, unwrapped the cloth from his head, and let out a long breath.

"Tomorrow... just tomorrow, I will be able to leave the city. The Divine Court's pursuit is indeed terrifying."

The man's face was cracked and weathered, making any expression look extremely grim.

He took off his clothes and entered the bathroom.

Rushing water.

With the shower spraying hot water, blood started seeping out from every part of his body, streaming down and covering the entire floor.

The drain was dyed a bright red by his blood.

The man seemed oblivious to it, continuously showering, his heavy breathing mixed with a sense of comfort.

The Divine Court's divine powers were bizarre.

Although he had spent many years among them, he didn't dare claim to understand everyone's abilities.

In fact, he didn't even know half of them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state while being pursued.

Fortunately, Xiang Liu's abilities were biased towards life-saving and the bizarre; otherwise, he might not have been able to escape at all.

Rushing water.

Soon, he washed his body clean and, after covering himself with a towel, walked out of the bathroom, his expression changing instantly.

Something was wrong.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, almost devoid of any sound.

This would be impossible under normal circumstances.

In such an abnormal situation, how could Xiang Liu's cautious nature not be on high alert?

He was about to turn and escape.

But then.

The roof exploded with a "bang," creating a large hole, and a figure descended from the sky like a falling meteor.

"Xiang Liu, let's see where you can run now!"

The Commander fired a barrage of rockets, which landed in the center of the room and exploded, sending blazing heat waves spreading outwards, quickly upending everything in the room.

After firing these few rounds.

The Commander discarded the launcher, drew the sword from his back, and charged at Xiang Liu like a whirlwind.

The sharp blade light surged like waves, instantly enveloping Xiang Liu, while the walls around them were sliced like tofu.

The area where they clashed was instantly shrouded in rubble and dust.

...

On a rooftop about three hundred meters from the scene, Baiyu watched the battle between the Commander and Xiang Liu through binoculars.

The surrounding area was full of the Security Bureau's elite.

For safety, Xu An from the Anomaly Bureau was also accompanying them, with several experts hidden in the shadows.

Around the area where Xiang Liu and the Commander were fighting, within a radius of three hundred meters, Baiyu had already cleared the place.

All residents were evacuated one by one.

After evacuating everyone, Baiyu set up a temporary spirit array around the area under the Commander's guidance.

To ensure that Xiang Liu wouldn't escape.

Next, it depended on the Commander's strength: if he could capture Xiang Liu, that would be best; if not...

"Baiyu, what if this foreign traitor escapes? According to your description, the opponent is powerful, and if they escape, the consequences would be immeasurable."

At this moment, Xu An next to him also considered this issue.

But he didn't know as much as Baiyu, not realizing this was an internal battle within the Divine Court.

He might not even be aware if the Divine Court existed.

At most.

He had just seen a name.

He didn't know about the Divine Court's internal structure or anything else.

Baiyu heard this and put down his binoculars, his face showing no concern: "If they can't capture him, then it's our turn to take action.

Remember.

This is Mountain City.

How could a petty crook be discovered and still unable to be dealt with?"

Xu An nodded.

No matter how strong the opponent was, they couldn't overpower the strength of a city; otherwise, they wouldn't be in hiding.
