Compared to Simon and Eso’s unrest, Li Rui and Cheng Mingyue weren’t much better off.

World NPCs appearing in reality was absolutely big news, and more importantly, they instantly connected it to the intelligence they got from Morris, that there were dozens of strangers in the Holy Judgment High Court.

If they were all World NPCs, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Dozens of World NPCs are equivalent to half the top forces of any of the three major countries. In other words, if the original experts of the Holy Judgment High Court joined forces with them, at least at the level of top-level powerhouses, they could reach a level close to the three major countries.

"What’s going on, could it be the realms overlapping?" Cheng Mingyue asked in a low voice.

"When did realm overlap ever bring World NPCs?"

In the past, realm overlaps would only bring some abstract monsters, barbaric beasts, or spirit monsters. They were called abstract because they were not complete creatures of the Secret Realm World, as if their souls were drawn away, leaving only a killing instinct.

Even ordinary monsters were like this, let alone World NPCs.

Moreover, that bald man was obviously a person from the Western Regions in the Secret Realm World, the extent of his power was unclear, but it was clear that they had collusion with the Holy Judgment High Court.

If

Both of them were full of doubts, on the other side a fight broke out again.

A single World NPC was enough to give Simon and Eso a hard time; with four hands against two fists, it was hard to say who would win or lose.

After all, Li Rui, who had just become a consultant, needed the assistance of Cheng Mingyue and the encirclement of many people to kill Song Yuanhua. The strength of this World NPC was unknown, but it seemed only strong and not weak.

And although Isa Eso was also a consultant, he wasn’t among the top tier, far below the level of experts like Song Yao.

"Let’s seize the chance to go first, we must get this information out."

Li Rui whispered, Cheng Mingyue also agreed, but at that moment, a strong pressure enveloped the two of them.

Boom!

The ground shook, and a strong wind surged in.

A towering figure descended from the sky, landing about ten meters in front of them.

Standing a丈 tall, wielding a massive halberd, glaring angrily, looking down from above.

This time, it was Li Rui’s turn to be shocked.

"Who are you...?"

He really didn’t expect, while watching the excitement of the Western Anomaly Bureau duo, in an instant the joke had become about him.

This tower-like giant was one of the two people who appeared beside Zuo Qiutian in the Peach Blossom Lady’s Tomb back then, the other being Song Yuanhua, who is now dead on the giant island.

"Do I know you?"

The giant sneered, "Perhaps you know me, in your so-called ’Secret Realm’?"

Before he could finish speaking, an enormous halberd swept down suddenly.

Boom!!!

Mountains crumbled and the earth shattered.

Even so, Li Rui and Cheng Mingyue managed to dodge separately, but because the range of the strike was too wide, the unlucky ones in the mountains behind were inadvertently involved.

Advisors of national official anomaly agencies like them could handle the attack of World NPCs, yet those from local forces couldn’t so easily.

"Don’t be hasty, let’s talk this over."

At this moment, Li Rui wasn’t that cold, instead trying to extract some information, "How did you get here, for you, this is an otherworldly place, right?"

The giant stopped his hand too, refraining from an aggressive attack, because the gale from his previous attack blew off Li Rui’s hat, and he recognized this person.

"So it’s you."

He coldly snorted, "If you surrender, I won’t kill you, come with me to see Mr. Zuo."

Li Rui felt his heart sink.

So he came too? Though it was normal indeed.

In his impression, such inexplicable anomalies were mostly related to that person.

And the reason he wanted to dialogue was to gather more information, indeed, these people who shouldn’t appear in the real world revealed hints of secrets in their every move,

"Where is Brother Zuo? I do want to see him, but I’m a bit pressed for time, if it takes too long, let’s forget it."

Of course, Li Rui wanted more information, but it must be under safe conditions, Zuo Qiutian wouldn’t be seen for now, even though he really wanted to ask in person what on earth this was all about.

The giant sneered, "If you don’t go, then I shall just break your limbs and personally capture you, it would be a great merit."

The last time, he saw Li Rui in the Peach Blossom Lady’s Tomb, with a time difference of half a year in the Secret Realm, at that time Li Rui was still a weakling, struggling hard to inflict any harm on those World NPCs.

In this person’s eyes, even if Li Rui is now stronger than before, he couldn’t have grown much, so he didn’t take it to heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, he lunged forward.

Boom!!!

Another sweep with the halberd.

This person was also strong in power, but was even several notches above Simon.

Li Rui had no intention of clashing head-on with him, just constantly dodging with Cheng Mingyue’s support, pondering in his mind.

"If the high-ranking priest of the Holy Judgment Institute wasn’t wrong, there are truly dozens of World NPCs in the Holy Judgment High Court now?"

"But maybe not, what if most of them are just small fry?"

"No, if they were small fry, would the Holy Judgment High Court have the courage to openly fight the Western Kingdom?"

"I must bring the information back, find a chance to use the Escape Technique."

Boom boom boom!

Amidst a series of explosions, the three of them were completely entangled in a fight, looking across the entire Holy Mountain, no other battle was fiercer than theirs.

"Prepare to leave."

During a clash interval, Cheng Mingyue found a chance to tell Li Rui, "If we delay any longer, his helpers might come."

Li Rui thought the same, he glanced at the other side, where Simon and Eso were fighting the bald Western Regions man, amidst a roar, a huge magic golem stood up from the ground, finally, things got serious over there too.

"Switch!"

Li Rui shouted, Cheng Mingyue understood, changing the buffs, switching all previously physique-based buffs to those related to spells.

Of course, this was pre-discussed between them, in a fight they could coordinate with just a word or a glance.

Once the buffs were switched, Li Rui started casting his techniques.

The All Heaven Great Thunder Fire Seal Spell gathered in the night sky, almost lighting up the surroundings.

Not just the giant who had looked down, even the others engaged in fierce battles nearby couldn’t help but glance over.

Simon’s eyes widened.

He was very familiar with this skill, on the Secret Realm battlefield, he had died to this move.

Is it him?

At this moment, Li Rui had activated the Blood Soul Ring.

Boom!!

The thunder from the nine heavens descended on the real world’s ground for the first time, instantly engulfing the giant’s figure.

It wasn’t that he didn’t dodge, but Cheng Mingyue launched a big move at a crucial moment to control the man. Though he broke free almost immediately, it still had a brief effect.

However, at this moment, Li Rui could still feel that strong aura hadn’t disappeared, it seemed difficult to directly kill that man without transforming.

But his purpose wasn’t to inflict damage, going all-in here and attempting to kill a World NPC was very unwise, the most important thing right now was to quickly bring the information back.

So he seized the moment when the giant couldn’t chase after him, and immediately used the Escape Technique, grabbing Cheng Mingyue and flew away with Wind Control. In the instant he turned his head, his eyelid twitched as he saw a red light covering the Holy Judgment High Court’s direct jurisdiction area below the mountain, filled with a bloody and evil atmosphere.

"Zuo Qiutian? Truly his handiwork."
