When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

After being transported to the rear of the fleet via the beacon, the Secret Tower Master had fantasized about many ways to kill Bai Fu.

To him, who always held grudges, if he really had the chance to kill Bai Fu, the "evil woman," he definitely wouldn't kill her right away. That would be too lenient. He had to imprison and torture her for forty-nine days, then cut her with a small knife 1024 times before finally recording the process and broadcasting it for the world to see.

However, he was also aware

that the current situation did not support such actions.

The people from the Alliance were not fools; they wouldn't just watch them capture Bai Fu and take her away.

So, his plan was to inflict severe injuries on Bai Fu with lightning speed, then immediately start a live broadcast across the entire All Star District, and behead Bai Fu in front of everyone from the Edge World.

He believed that the style of that one stroke would be unforgettable for all who watched.

"The Death of the Saintess"

What a marvelous piece of art.

To start their Sorrowful Gun plan with this painting was more than perfect.

However, the Secret Tower Master, who was indulging in his fantasy of artistic slaughter, had never expected that instead of screams of fear, he would be met with applause.

"Welcome!"

Clap, clap, clap...

The pleasant phrases intermingled with the crisp applause.

Bai Fu had made a good start.

After her, everyone surrounding the members of the Secret Tower, who had transported through the beacon, smiled and started clapping.

Brilliant.

Absolutely brilliant!

Those hired for the occasion might not have understood the depth, but the people from Star Network and other civilizations saw it differently.

They had been waiting for this moment for many years. Over these years, how many had died under the Secret Tower's attacks?

Just from what they had heard from Manu and Mitchell, they were somewhat skeptical until just a moment ago, many still doubted whether Bai Fu had it right. But now that the Secret Tower Master and the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress really showed up, there was nothing more to question.

Applaud!

Applaud for the omniscient and omnipotent Dark Domain Saintess Bai Fu!

Applaud for the Secret Tower Master who has fought them for many years and now has willingly walked into their grasp!

"Welcome, welcome, warmly welcome."

"It must have been a tiring journey, right? Since you're here, rest well."

To the untrained ear, it might sound like a reception to honor distant guests.

Amid the laughter and cheers, at this very moment, the Secret Tower Master had only one thought—

I'm fucking losing my mind!

He had absolutely no idea what had happened, but he knew he was in big trouble.

He carried an energy level detector on him, although not a very sophisticated one, but a simple scan told him that three among the crowd was at Catastrophe Level.

It was a 2v3 situation, and though he was in their domain, even though the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress was far stronger than an ordinary Catastrophe Level, there was still a good chance he might die here today.

The Secret Tower Master was both shocked and furious.

Just a second ago, he had been immersed in the joy of obtaining the True Spirit Pillar, and the next second, he had fallen into a death trap. Was the journey from heaven to hell really that short?

Wait.

The situation might not be as bad as it seems.

The Secret Tower Master's gaze suddenly fell on Bai Fu, the energy level detector showed she still ranked S+. If he could capture Bai Fu during the melee and start a broadcast immediately, would others dare to kill him in front of countless viewers without regard for Bai Fu's safety?

He wasn't sure, but he felt it was unlikely.

Or even if they dared, with Bai Fu as a hostage, his chances of survival would significantly increase.

With this in mind, the tension in the Secret Tower Master's heart eased considerably.

Bai Fu, oh Bai Fu, mocking me with applause was indeed heart-wrenching, but you shouldn't have stood so close to me. With your power, you might withstand a Catastrophe Level attack for a while, but I'm not just any Catastrophe Level.

Move!

Without another word, the Secret Tower Master launched an attack on Bai Fu.

The other members of the Secret Tower, as well as the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress, were not far behind, except their target was not Bai Fu.

Boom!

The Secret Tower Master's palm seemed to be coated in a blue glow, like an electric snake instantly piercing Bai Fu's body.

Grab...

No, his hand seemed to have pierced through Bai Fu's body, but actually, he hit nothing!

An illusion?

The Secret Tower Master had a bad premonition, but now there was no time for shocks because the cheerful, applauding crowd had launched their attack.

Neither side were old acquaintances, but they were old enemies, and the fight that ensued showed no mercy. A perfectly good spaceship was smashed to pieces from the inside in just a few seconds under the full force of several Catastrophe Levels.

A violent explosion swept through, igniting a brilliant fire in the starry sky.

Fortunately, the other members of the spaceship had evacuated early, only some of the players used as bait were killed on the spot, but for players, death meant resurrection, it wasn't a big deal.

"Bai Fu, you won't escape!"

Electricity crackled in the hands of the Secret Tower Master.

He couldn't distinguish between illusion and reality, but the energy level detector he carried could. Among all the people it detected, the one whose energy level was closest to Catastrophe Level was Bai Fu!

"Help me stop them, I'll capture Bai Fu alive. As long as we have her, we can leave this place!"

The Secret Tower Master shouted in the Secret Tower's communication channel.
