I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization-Chapter 402

"Mu Ling, in fact, your past life was the most legendary ancestor of the Mu family."

In Bai Yan's eyes, there was a sincere expression, as if the words that came out of his mouth were the actual truth.

"And I and your ancestors were once very close friends. We fought together many times, hundreds of years ago. I feel sorry that I couldn't save her back then." freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Ah..."

The sudden development caught Mu Ling off guard, leaving her a bit bewildered.

Bai Yan lifted his head and glanced at the sky, seizing the opportunity to carry on. He continued, "This is the truth... that's why, after meeting you, it was love at first sight for me, and I also have an understanding of your preferences."

"The familiarity you feel towards me, I'm afraid it all comes from here."

When Bai Yan spoke, his face didn't turn red, his heart didn't skip a beat, and the lies that came out of his mouth seemed as if they were true, just popping out directly.

Mu Ling was completely stunned.

"Surprisingly, it turned out to be like this..."

After pondering for a moment, she realized that actually, this way, everything would make sense!

During the final battle against the Legion of Doom, Mu Ling had already discovered a close connection between herself and her ancestors. She was mentally prepared that she was, in fact, their reincarnation.

"So, all of this is true?" Mu Ling asked uncertainly once again.

Bai Yan nodded.

His words were a mix of truth and falsehood, and there was no way to confirm or refute them. It was solely up to Mu Ling's own belief whether to trust them or not.

Based on Bai Yan's understanding of her all this time...

Mu Ling would probably believe it.

"I understand now. I have had doubts in my heart all along, but now I finally see clearly."

Mu Ling nodded and pondered for a while before saying, "Actually, I have completely forgotten all the memories of my past life. Now, I am just Mu Ling... You don't need to have any special treatment toward me because of my past life."

Look!

This guy believed it, didn't he?

Poor Mu Ling was toyed with by Bai Yan, as if she were a puppet in his hands.

"But in my eyes, you have always been my friend."

Bai Yan looked into Mu Ling's eyes with sincerity and continued, "It's perfectly reasonable to treat your friends with kindness... Are you trying to take away that power?"

Mu Ling shook her head and said, "I... It doesn't matter to me anymore. Never mind, Senior Profligate, let's quickly settle this matter underground."

For some reason, she always felt a certain gaze from Profligate Senior directed at her.

It was somewhat... beyond the limits of friendship.

It was very strange.

Mu Ling couldn't quite discern what emotion it was. It was something she had never experienced before, something she had never witnessed.

"Okay."

Bai Yan also didn't want to get too entangled in lies, as it would be embarrassing if he were exposed.

Afterward, he started to possess the power of Mysterious Magic, extending his hands slowly forward and smiling as he clapped.

"Snap."

In the next moment, both of them were transported to the underground of the Ironcore Fortress.

The underground space of the Ironcore Fortress was also incredibly vast, even several times larger than the surface fortress. It was dim and profound, with a height of at least several hundred meters from the bottom to the "ceiling".

"Look! It's Senior Profligate!"

Bai Yan and Mu Ling soon witnessed an astonishing scene.

Hundreds and thousands of giants were tightly bound by enormous shackles. These towering figures, dozens of meters in height, toiled in pain and exhaustion in the underground world, ceaselessly excavating ores barehanded.

"Ah!"

The roar of the giants echoed through the underworld. They had completely lost their freedom, and many members of the Doomsday Race guarded over these giants. However, these towering creatures dared not resist at all.

"What exactly are they digging?" Mu Ling couldn't help but ask.

"That kind of mineral..."

After Bai Yan analyzed his ability, he immediately received accurate information and quickly answered, "It is an important material used for casting curses. The weapons of the Doomsday Race are made from this type of mineral. It can be used for close combat and also serves as a staff to enhance the effects of curses."

"Wand?"

Mu Ling had never heard of this word before and curiously asked, "What is a wand...?"

"Yes, it is something used to enhance extraordinary powers."

Bai Yan also realized something, in Noah's world, actually, sorcerers don't use wands.

In fact, "rituals" are something that exists in all the different universes, but "magic"... is unique to World of Noah.

Although there are other worlds where magic is used, in the infinite universe, magic can only be considered as a rare phenomenon.

What spells, invisible arts, magic, spiritual techniques... in the infinite world, there are countless extraordinary power systems.

And in some worlds, power systems would give rise to enhancing tools like "staffs," but in World of Noah, such things don't exist and aren't necessary.

It's hard to say the relative strength of various power systems, but most people can't even come close to reaching their limits... However, Bai Yan believed that "rituals" should be the most powerful among all extraordinary power systems.

Because, no matter which world it was, "rituals" existed.

From the very beginning of the birth of the multiverse, the power of "rituals" had already emerged.

In the underground world, there was a very wide road that didn't look like a path for people of regular size to walk on.

"Let's move forward."

Bai Yan spoke, and Mu Ling nodded gently.

Next, the two of them continued along the path, and they kept moving forward for about half an hour. Eventually, they saw an enormous and magnificent statue emerge ahead of them.

That was an incredibly large statue, at least three hundred meters tall. Its shape resembled a black sun, with only the center being a grayish-white sphere.

In this area, there were no more slaves, only guardians from the Doomsday Race.

And the guardians here wore pitch-black heavy armor, they were well-equipped, with orderly formations. They stood guard at almost every three steps, and there was a post every five steps.

"This is it, the heavily guarded altar... 'Ming', the owner of the Ironcore Fortress, is right ahead, praying beneath the statue in the Black Abyss Deep Sea."

After Bai Yan finished speaking these words, without any hesitation, he continued moving forward with Mu Ling.

Both ordinary soldiers and well-equipped soldiers are not their targets on this journey.

Wherever they passed, it was as if they had entered a deserted place, and no guard could discover the two of them.

Finally, the two of them were getting closer and closer to the bottom of the altar.

The flower-shaped altar was right beneath the Black Abyss Deep Sea, like a blossoming flower of fear. It could continuously absorb the fear of all giant slaves in the underground world and offer it as a sacrifice to the Black Abyss Deep Sea.

Bai Yan saw the owner of Ironcore Fortress, "Ming".

That was a colossal "woman", standing at approximately twenty meters tall. Her entire body was bronze in color, and she possessed six arms, each holding a different weapon.

As she knelt before the enormous sculpture of Black Abyss Deep Sea, facing away from Bai Yan and Mu Ling, they couldn't see her face.

Here, apart from her, there simply weren't any guards around.

It must have been because they weren't qualified enough to come so close to the magnificent and terrifying Black Abyss Deep Sea.

A roar, like that of a gigantic wild beast, echoed in Bai Yan's ears.

"Reveal yourselves... two visitors from the Otherworld."

"Um, has the magic been discovered? It's normal for non-forbidden magic to be uncovered too."

Bai Yan nodded gently, smiling as he dispelled the magic, appearing alongside Mu Ling.

Slowly, Ming, who was originally kneeling on the ground, stood up, causing the earth to tremble.

Her enormously large body exuded a natural sense of awe, as she turned around and looked down at the two tiny "bugs" beneath her feet.

Mu Ling, upon seeing the face of the giantess, felt a sudden, overwhelming fear deep within her heart.

It was a face adorned with dark red eyes, with numerous red pupils moving constantly in all directions, emanating an invisible aura of fear.

If it weren't for the aura of fear, simply because of this frightening appearance, Mu Ling wouldn't actually feel scared.

As a crime-hunter for many years, she had encountered all sorts of strange creatures.

Ming didn't open her mouth, but her voice was transmitted directly to the hearts of the two individuals.

"You dare to venture into this place, a blasphemy to the Black Abyss Deep Sea... Since that is the case, I shall bestow upon you eternal fear and curse!"

Honestly speaking, Bai Yan kind of liked the other person's manner.

As the boss, he didn't waste any time and started fighting without any further ado. He didn't bother with unnecessary chatter.

"Yes, it's time to go, Miss Mu Ling."

"I understand."

Mu Ling just tried to draw her sword when suddenly she realized that her body was no longer under her control.

[Nightsaber, fate has chosen you.]

At that moment, she heard a voice that felt incredibly familiar.

So, Mu Ling took a deep breath.

"Face your sins!!"
