At this time, in the corridor of passage 6, the clown leader was forcing Alicia Plutarch to reveal the pursuer's identity.

The clown leader spun a throwing knife in his palm once, then pointed that throwing knife at Alicia's throat.

On his face painted with clown makeup, there wasn't a trace of laughter. Instead, his expression was very gloomy. "Speak, who exactly is the person pursuing me? What school wizard, what spells are they good at, do they have any weaknesses?"

Alicia held her pink Peek bird, somewhat afraid, but she looked at the clown leader with hatred. "I told you, I don't know. You killed our Plutarch family's wizards. Black wizard, no matter what, I will make you pay the price. This is my responsibility."

"Since you covet our family's wealth, you definitely won't kill me. But you remember this, among those wizards you just killed were my friends, servants who grew up with me since childhood. I will definitely avenge them in the future."

The next moment, brutality flashed in the clown leader's eyes. "Young miss, I see you still haven't recognized reality's logic."

He used the throwing knife in his hand to directly cut open Alicia's face, leaving a very deep scar on it.

Alicia cried out in pain and terror. She hadn't expected this black wizard would directly attack her.

A terrifying smile appeared on the clown leader's clown-dressed face, letting out neurotic-like laughter. "Young miss, you're truly too naive, so naive that I simply cannot believe such a wizard would live in this world. Although I won't kill you, I can hurt you."

"I'm very displeased with you right now." The clown leader snatched the pet Peek bird she was holding from Alicia's hands, then released his grip, allowing the terrified Peek bird to fly from his palm.

The next moment, throwing knives floated behind him and shot toward the Peek bird pet in the sky.

Alicia said in terror, "Don't, stop, Peek is a pet I've raised for over ten years. Black wizard, you can't... I'm a prestigious family wizard from the Land of Six Towers. How dare you..."

Alicia crouched on the ground, looking at the Peek bird's corpse that had fallen to the ground, tears flowing down her face. "How could you do this?"

The clown leader clicked his tongue, showing disgust. "If I couldn't exchange you for reward money, I really want to turn you into this broken bird. Alright, we won't waste time. Young miss, we need to go to this void warship's energy core. The farce should end."

"You like screaming so much, which isn't entirely useless. Young miss, you're a young, beautiful, twenty-year-old witch who has fallen into the hands of a group of male wizards. Haven't you ever thought about your own fate? You actually still have the mind to cry for this broken bird. Pet? Now that's truly a luxurious word."

The clown leader reached out and grabbed her collar, roughly pulling her forward. "Move."

Ahead, the Magic Thief Circus's animal tamer appeared in passage 6. The animal tamer looked at the irritable clown leader with surprise. "Leader, did you encounter something troublesome? What made you so angry?"

The clown leader said, "The puppeteer's magical pressure response suddenly weakened, almost disappearing. There's also a troublesome wizard behind, currently pursuing me."

"If I hadn't guided the Thunder God Palace Remnant Images to block him, he should have already caught up."

The clown leader said, "An unexpected person appeared. Not easy to deal with. Don't know if it's this yellow-haired girl's family wizard or the Hand of the Jungle senior expert's guard."

"However, the problem isn't big. With Thunder God Palace Remnant Images blocking him, even if he's a First Circle wizard with heaven-reaching abilities, facing so many Thunder God Palace Remnant Images, he can't catch up for a while."

The clown leader looked at the animal tamer and said, "What good things did you steal?"

The animal tamer's face showed a trace of delight. "My harvest this time is quite good. When we leave here and return to the ground to sell our spoils at the black market, leader, you'll know. Don't worry, I'll follow the rules and give you two shares."

"After we finish this job, we'll probably have to rest for a few years, right? Avoid the limelight first."

"If we do it continuously, we'll easily be targeted by the White Wizard Association."

The clown leader said, "Don't worry. After we exchange this yellow-haired girl for money, we can suspend activities for ten years. Then we won't have to fear the Plutarch family people and the White Wizard Association finding people to retaliate against us. Hey hey, look at this naive and cute little witch. Truly a feast for the eyes. After returning, don't you have any ideas?"

At this time, Alicia's face was covered in tears. After hearing that the wizard pursuing the clown leader was blocked by Thunder God Palace Remnant Images, despair immediately showed on her face. Adding to that hearing the two black wizards' disrespectful words toward her, she was so angry her whole body trembled, yet she had no way to deal with it.

At this moment, Alicia even felt somewhat dazed, beginning to regret not listening to the old steward earlier and immediately using the teleportation scroll to flee.

If she had immediately fled then, she wouldn't have suffered such misfortune, nor would she have had to watch her pet and the servants around her all die miserably before these hateful black wizards.

Perhaps she really was too naive.

Thinking the outside world's wizards were all as easy to talk to as those white wizards, would give her some face because of the massive wealth she controlled but black wizards and white wizards were completely different.

The clown leader and animal tamer were about to leave when suddenly the First Circle magical creature golden lion the animal tamer was riding began trembling. An astonished expression appeared on the animal tamer's face.

But he saw three Corrupt Soil Taro flower cannons floating in the corridor at some unknown time. The three taros were continuously letting out loud laughter.

At the same time, dragon prestige swept over from all directions. Compared to magical pressure, dragon prestige had greater suppression on the spiritual + mental levels. Magical pressure was just the radiation pressure of magical power on matter, so it leaned more toward the physical level.

Dragon prestige, on the other hand, was equivalent magical pressure transformed into equivalent dragon prestige, with a heavier influence on things on the spiritual and mental levels.

At this time, tremendous dragon prestige suppressed the entire corridor, attacking toward the clown leader and animal tamer from all directions, causing those Thunder God Palace Remnant Images to show some kind of fear. Precisely because of this, Locke could ignore them and travel smoothly all the way.

Dragon prestige seemed to have some special effect on Thunder God Palace Remnant Images. These Thunder God Palace Remnant Images feared it far more than wizard world creatures.

The strange laughter of the three Corrupt Soil Taro Emperors rose and fell in succession, even more rampant, making the two black wizards feel somewhat eerie.

The golden lion the animal tamer rode under his legs let out uneasy roaring sounds.

Locke's person hadn't yet arrived here, but his voice first appeared here along the magical wind he controlled. "Found you."

"You two, don't flee. I want to borrow something from you two. I wonder if you two could give me face."

The next moment, the animal tamer's left arm was suddenly severed by golden sand. His astral ring also fell into the air and was steadily caught by a hand.

Locke looked at the astral ring in his hand, briefly inspected it, confirmed there were no problems, and placed it in his pocket. "You two, please accept this. Thank you."

This was spoils of war he snatched from black wizards' hands, so... of course, it belonged to him.

Black wizards, this kind of thing, because they weren't considered people under the White Wizard Association's laws, had this wonderful use for laundering assets.

The clown leader and animal tamer both had gloomy faces at this time. The two exchanged glances, both seeing pressure in each other's eyes.

The clown leader looked at Locke and said, "So it's you... that Salvador's protector."

"A miscalculation. If I'd known, I should have forcibly exiled you too. It's just that earlier I thought you were only a vaporization stage wizard, so there was no need to waste a precious spell scroll on you."

The clown leader's eyeballs rolled. He suddenly gripped the throwing knife in his hand and grabbed Alicia's throat, saying to Locke, "However, white wizard, if you take one more step forward, I'll first kill this lovely little witch from the Plutarch family."

"If the Plutarch family learns that you caused their heir's death..."

Locke raised an eyebrow and glanced at Alicia. At this time, Alicia was somewhat disheveled, with blood continuously flowing on her face.

Truly worthy of being black wizards. They would actually do such unconscionable things, completely disregarding their status as First Circle wizards.

However...

The Large Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow behind Locke moved slightly. The next moment, he appeared between the animal tamer and clown leader. At the same time, in his right palm floated the magical plant Sea Gold Sand with a golden spiral staircase.

Scorching Gold Sand Flow!

The next moment, two scorching golden sands augmented with Flame Bright Spirit Qi from Fire Pearl Tomato Flower transformed into two blade edges, mercilessly slashing toward the two black wizards. The attack targets actually even included Alicia.

The clown leader's expression changed dramatically. "You're not a white wizard? Fellow practitioner?"

He couldn't bear to let the great captive he had finally obtained die. He actually risked grabbing Alicia's shoulder and jumped backward together, narrowly avoiding Locke's Scorching Gold Sand Flow.

On the other side, the animal tamer wasn't so lucky. He also hadn't expected Locke to be so decisive, not giving any time for negotiation or consideration of the hostage, directly charging up to kill.

The Scorching Gold Sand Flow augmented with Flame Bright Spirit Qi, carrying high temperature, slashed toward him. Almost in an instant, it severely injured both him and his golden lion.

This was the most vulnerable point of formal wizards without permanent defensive fields.

Locke knew that the most formidable aspect of this group of black wizards who took unorthodox paths was their deceptive trickery. Their hard strength actually wasn't good, just flashy operations.

Then the best way to deal with them was to not waste words and directly attack to kill.

Even listening to one more sentence would easily fall into traps others set.

The animal tamer coughed up blood. "Cough cough cough... You actually attacked directly."

Locke looked at him with surprise. "I originally wanted to cut you in half. Did I strike too lightly? Mm, the fur hardness of that magical pet of yours is indeed quite good."

While speaking, Locke's Sea Gold Sand transformed into a spiral spear. At the same time, it condensed golden sand bullets augmented with scorching Bright Flame Spirit Qi, then shot toward the enemy.

Without mercy, without pause.
