Manipulating ancient relics that should not have obeyed anyone.
After witnessing all that, if they failed to steal the mere eye of a dead Soul Ascendancy expert, then everything they had done until now would only become a ridiculous joke.
Grey's eyes slowly sharpened.
'The Eye of Fate… I must obtain it.'
His breathing grew slightly heavier.
'Not only will my cultivation increase… but I will also gain a deeper understanding of the Soul Ascendancy Realm.'
That knowledge alone was priceless.
In fact, its value might even surpass the eye itself.
However, that did not mean Grey felt calm.
Deep inside, a powerful urge burned within him.
An urge to seize that eye no matter the cost.
But he forced himself to suppress it.
Now was not the time to act recklessly.
Beside him, the captain casually licked her lips as she chewed the final bite of the apple in her hand.
Crunch.
She swallowed it slowly.
Her eyes were fixed on the sky with burning excitement.
A trace of madness could be seen on the white-haired man's face.
It was the expression of someone who was about to commit an act that would shock the heavens themselves.
Then she smiled.
"Oh Eye of Fate…"
Her voice carried across the silent red world.
"We have come to snatch you away from your master."
The moment those words left her lips, the bodiless head above the crystal palace suddenly moved.
Its lips slowly parted.
No sound came out.
Yet Grey felt it clearly.
It was as though a silent decree had just been issued.
A command that could not be resisted.
Immediately...
The six blazing suns in the sky trembled.
Then six enormous beams of light suddenly descended from them.
Each beam carried a different color and terrifying pressure as they shot down from the heavens like divine punishment.
They were heading straight toward Grey and the others. The moment they landed, the three of them quickly retreated by two hundred feet.
But six white-haired cultivators soon emerged from the six beams of light that had descended from the heavens.
Their figures slowly condensed from the dazzling pillars of light until their forms became completely solid. Each of them possessed the same pale face, long white hair, and cold, emotionless eyes.
