Chapter 571: 255. Master of Deceitful Fog_2

“Galaxy Mister.”

At this moment, Commander Tuo walked over and said, “I heard that you plan to leave the team upon reaching the first Void Star in the Deceitful Fog Sea?”

“Yes.” Lin Qing nodded.

“Does Galaxy Mister intend not to leave the Deceitful Fog Sea? Are you planning to live there in the future?” Commander Tuo couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Qing glanced at her and said, “There’s no need to explain this to Commander Tuo, right?”

Commander Tuo slightly frowned, then said flatly, “Just wanted to remind Galaxy Mister, although the Master of Deceitful Fog gives my brother face, Galaxy Mister also has to be on the same boat with me to pass through the fog safely. In the future, if Galaxy Mister wants to leave the Deceitful Fog Sea, don’t look for me to help.”

Lin Qing was speechless, now realizing that the other party was still thinking about earning another million Void Coins from him.

After all, the Deceitful Fog is circular; passing through it once is required to enter the Deceitful Fog Sea and once again to leave, allowing for earning money twice.

But actually, it’s already pretty cheap.

If one were to hire a Void Dominator to lead the way, a million Void Coins wouldn’t solve the problem. A Void Dominator wouldn’t care for such a small amount and wouldn’t demean themselves to do such a thing.

“No need for Commander Tuo’s concern, I have my own methods.” Lin Qing naturally wouldn’t explain further, just casually deflecting with a sentence.

“…Alright.” Commander Tuo frowned, looking at him once, and didn’t bother to say more; she turned and walked away.

It’s just missing out on earning a million Void Coins.

On the other side of the deck.

A nearly nude, blue-skinned woman quietly observed Lin Qing from the corner.

“Old guy, what do you mean? You want to use the opportunity to kill the Master of Deceitful Fog, yet you don’t dare act against this guy?” the blue-skinned woman murmured in her heart, “Didn’t you say the power of the Master of Deceitful Fog is close to that of a Void Dominator? With such terrifying strength, and yet you’re afraid of this guy?”

“Little one, what do you understand?”

An aged voice echoed in her mind, “My Divine Position can sense changes in Order. The impact this Galaxy has on Order is the most astonishing I’ve ever seen, possibly from the Three Great Holy Lands. Those most terrifying Void Creatures from the Three Great Holy Lands can even defeat a Void Dominator head-on. Isn’t a figure like that scarier than the Master of Deceitful Fog?”

“Void Creatures, can they defeat a Void Dominator head-on?” The blue-skinned woman was stunned.

“The Universe is vast, and there’s much you haven’t seen,” the aged voice said, “Anyway, let me first kill the Master of Deceitful Fog for you and seize the Deceitful Fog Origin in his hands.”

…

The dim mist drifted about, nearly dead-silent air pervading above the sea, so that even the originally violent, surging seawater quieted down, as if unchanged for eons.

In the depths of the bizarre gray mist, floated a massive palace.

Inside the palace, a giant approximately ten meters tall sat quietly on a throne, eyes closed, his spiritual will fused with the boundless deceitful fog.

As the Master of Deceitful Fog, although this deceitful fog isn’t as wondrous as the Void Secret Realm, frequent fusion still allows his spiritual will to grow slowly.

“At this rate, when will my will transform to the Dominator level…” the Master of Deceitful Fog frowned.

He was revered by outsiders as the dominator of the deceitful fog. With the Deceitful Fog Origin’s blessing within the fog range, his combat power was not inferior to a true Void Dominator, but he also knew…

He was ultimately not a true Void Dominator.

Millions of years ago, he already knew a vast enough world and understood all the Space Mysteries.

Only the will remains to be overcome.

But will is difficult to enhance; it’s not something that improves over time. On the contrary, as time diminishes, it becomes more probable.

Too many Void Beings are stuck at the will barrier.

The renowned Master of Deceitful Fog is no exception.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, the Master of Deceitful Fog slightly frowned and abruptly looked toward a direction in the Void.

There fog drifted gently, forming a peculiar projection.

“There… is it a treasure that the Deceitful Fog Origin desires?” The Master of Deceitful Fog’s eyes suddenly sparkled with light, “And the aura is even concealed… merely concealed by a Void Creature?”

While intrigued and eager, he strived to calm himself and probe through the deceitful fog.

Soon, he identified that Void Boat that had just sailed into the range of the deceitful fog.

“Just a group of Void Creatures?”

The Master of Deceitful Fog chuckled, then calmly pondered, “Even a treasure desired by the deceitful fog, who knows what kind of rare treasure it is. Once discovered, it could also spell trouble…”

He well knew that this deceitful fog was a grand creation born from the Void Sea, and he was fortunate to refine its Original Treasure, making many Void Dominators extremely envious.

After all, even a Void Dominator, once refining the Deceitful Fog Origin, could multiply their combat power several times within the fog range, with various mysterious abilities.

Just the deceitful fog itself required careful handling, not daring to offend truly significant figures.

For instance, Void Divine Positioners, whom he would not dare provoke at all.

Coupled with this treasure that even the Deceitful Fog craves, he also worries if it might attract even more terrifying entities.

“It must be kept secret.”

The Master of Deceitful Fog narrowed his eyes slightly, “The Deceitful Fog is my foundation for survival, could a treasure even the Deceitful Fog desires possibly allow me to advance further?”

To say nothing else, if he could harness more of the Deceitful Fog’s original power, his strength would soar.

…

In the strange drifting gray fog, a massive Void Boat was speeding across the sea, having already penetrated nearly 10 billion miles into the fog belt.

“Having reached this position, not even the pirates under the Master of Deceitful Fog have come…”

On the Void Boat, each Void Creature appeared somewhat relaxed, their previously tensed hearts gradually easing.

With the speed of the Master of Deceitful Fog’s pirates and the path-clearing power of the fog, their speed should have been far faster than the Void Boat’s flight speed.

But after so many days, there wasn’t even a hint of pirate shadows; occasionally encountering some servant species, which the crowd’s strength easily dealt with.

Evidently, the Master of Deceitful Fog was giving that Tuo Commander face, which allowed this to happen.

This also made everyone look at Commander Tuo with added respect in their eyes.

“Everyone, the next time we leave the Deceitful Fog Sea, we will still gather at Void Star number 14777.”

Commander Tuo smiled and said, “The old rule persists, as long as a million Void Coins is enough, I can still ensure a safe passage out for you then.”

As she spoke, she cast a mocking glance at Lin Qing, as if waiting for Lin Qing to regret it.

No one had any objections either.

Although a million Void Coins is not a small amount, those present are top-level strong beings among the Void Creatures, willing to part with that many coins.

Being able to enter the Deceitful Fog Sea securely was already a good thing.

Due to the existence of the Deceitful Fog, on those Void Stars of the Deceitful Fog Sea, those who leave their Soul Marks are either Void Dominators or Void Creatures with backgrounds, their power generally weaker, thus more hopeful to plant Soul Marks.

They came precisely for this purpose.

Now able to safely enter the Deceitful Fog Sea, naturally willing to pay the one million.

But only a handful in the audience knew it would not be this smooth.

Lin Qing was one of them.

He had long noticed: “Such a high danger level… could it be…”

Suddenly—

“Boom!”

The gray, somber Deceitful Fog suddenly trembled and began to surge violently, only to see a massive palace breaking through the fog, emerging in front of the Void Boat, with the fog as its backdrop.

The huge palace was magnificent, spanning over the sea of fog, exuding an incredibly terrifying aura that changed everyone’s complexion with its mere pressure.

“Divine Artifact? Divine Artifact Palace?”

At this moment, everyone sensed that the palace exuded a Divine Artifact breath akin to the Cosmic Origin wave.

The most important thing is—

Th𝚤𝙨 ƈh𝑎p𝖙𝘦r 𝚤𝘴 p◎𝗌𝙩𝓮𝑑 b𝖞 𝓀𝐢𝖙𝘦ṅ𝙤𝐯ҽḷ

“Deceit Sea Divine Hall?”

Commander Tuo immediately recognized the origin of this Divine Artifact Palace, her pupils subconsciously contracted.

This was indeed the Divine Artifact Palace of the Master of Deceitful Fog!

With the arrival of the Deceit Sea Divine Hall, it also meant the arrival of the Master of Deceitful Fog!

In this moment, streams of light flew out from the massive Divine Artifact Palace, transforming into strong beings emitting powerful auras, completely surrounding the Void Boat, clearly aggressive.

“Wasn’t it said that they would give Commander Tuo a face?”

“What’s going on?”

“This… even the Master of Deceitful Fog has personally arrived?”

Everyone’s faces turned pale, all looking toward Commander Tuo, seemingly waiting for her explanation.

Commander Tuo was also somewhat stunned. Even if she were foolish, she could see that the other party’s intentions weren’t good, yet she forced a smile and said, “Perhaps there’s no malice, just passing by to say hello…”

At the same time, she was frantically sending messages to her brother through the Second Cosmic Network.

Just then, a cold and indifferent voice resonated from within the massive Divine Artifact Palace:

“There’s no need to contact that Tuo Yuan City anymore; from now on, my cooperation with him is terminated.”
