[System, unbind.]
Deep in the distant dense forest, Shen Tang appeared completely unharmed. She had removed the "Thousand Faces" mask, restoring her original appearance.
She touched her smooth cheek, thinking that her own face felt more comfortable. Wearing the mask these days, she was afraid that dog man Necro would discover her true identity; she didn’t dare take it off for a single second, and it almost gave her acne from being covered for so long.
A flash of white light returned the Substitute Doll to her hand. Unfortunately, there was a small hole pierced in the chest area, but luckily it wasn’t completely shattered; it could still be used later with a bit of covering up.
Indeed, it was only the Substitute Doll that "died" in the chaos of battle.
The battlefield was too chaotic at the time, so Shen Tang seized the opportunity to swap identities with the Substitute and create the illusion of death.
The system asked in confusion, [Doesn’t the host hate Necro? You’ve always wanted to kill him, wouldn’t his death be just right? Why did you save him in the end?]
Shen Tang replied, "Do you think Necro is so easy to kill? The opposing side sent Tenth Rank experts several times to kill him, and each time they were utterly defeated, yet he still survives just fine?"
"Besides, those people said they wanted to capture him alive. What they want is a living Blood Clan member. Even if I didn’t send out the Doll to intercept that blow, he wouldn’t have died."
"I happened to need an opportunity to escape, so why not take this chance to earn a favor by saving his life?"
Although the process didn’t quite match her expectations, the outcome still satisfied her needs.
Let’s leave it at that.
The situation at the time was urgent, and she couldn’t think of a better solution.
The system remarked, [Host, your move is just like that crafty fox’s, absolutely brilliant!]
Shen Tang retorted, "...Are you looking for a fight?"
[No, no! But host, this trip was truly worthwhile. You succeeded in killing Shen Qingli, defeating the enemy system, found out about the Blood Clan, secretly racked up some rewards, and even made Necro promise to retreat his forces! This round, you killed three birds with one stone, you truly hit the jackpot!]
Shen Tang gazed into the distance. She was already several hundred kilometers away from the Blood Clan’s forbidden grounds, unable to see anything.
Xiao Cui Hua was dead, leaving only Shen Tang in this world.
If Necro truly felt guilty because of this, she hoped he wouldn’t forget his promise to withdraw his troops.
Shen Tang collected her emotions, just about to instruct the system to teleport her back to her Beast Husband when she suddenly felt a fierce killing intent!
Her face drastically changed as an urgent system alert sounded in her mind, [Not good, host! Watch out behind you!]
Having abandoned her disguise with no risk of identity exposure, Shen Tang no longer hid her true strength. She raised her hand to summon a sturdy earth wall, blocking the attack.
But the earth wall lasted only a few seconds before crumbling to pieces.
She swiftly dodged the attack, her eyes coldly fixed on several shadows rushing out of the forest.
The figures were cloaked in black, hiding their faces, but emanated the same strong and familiar aura as those who had surrounded Necro before.
How did they track her here? Were they after her?
They pursued Necro to obtain the Blood Clan’s bloodline. What would they want with a female like her?
The leader of the black-cloaked figures held a device resembling a compass, the needle firmly pointing in Shen Tang’s direction.
Shen Tang’s face darkened as confusion gripped her—it was this device that led them to her? But why did the needle point to her? Did she possess something they wanted?
Shen Tang couldn’t comprehend it, but these black-clothed figures seemed intent on explaining nothing.
The leader immediately issued an order, "We’ve found the person we’re looking for—that’s her!"
"Capture this female, and destroy the system on her!"
System?!
They actually knew she had a system!
Shen Tang was hit by a wave of horror, her body breaking out in cold sweat beyond her control. Who were these people really, and how did they know about the system’s existence?
The black-clothed figures launched their attack, their energy nets suppressing even the system’s capabilities, making the teleportation function temporarily unusable. Shen Tang was forced to engage in battle.

They showed disbelief on their faces.
