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

Not sure whether unlocking more abilities or not was clear, but her existing talents were definitely going to progress further; This would allow Julia to satisfy her increased appetite after becoming a Dominator.

"Although the task only gave me 10 million experience reward, the increase in combat power is definitely more than 10 to 20 percent!"

Bai Fu was secretly delighted.

She flew straight out from the room, planning to teleport back, when suddenly she saw a familiar face.

Hey, isn't that Frank? Long time no see, why do you look so haggard?

Under the bombardment of artillery fire, Frank looked extremely disheveled, his injuries far worse than those Suixi inflicted on himself.

Considering she hadn't accomplished anything visibly during her outing, Bai Fu immediately flew to Frank and grabbed him.

"You... Bai Fu?!"

Frank's face paled, but it was too late; he was forcibly dragged onto the Empire's Planet-Level Mother Ship.

At that moment, aboard the spaceship, Empire people were cursing incessantly.

They had made thorough preparations, never expecting the Saints to still have a trick up their sleeve and escape through a suddenly appearing teleportation portal.

"Damn it, are these dogs like rats, how could they escape?"

"It's such a pity, I had already destroyed Corona's mechanical giant, just give me another half-hour, and I would have definitely killed him."

"The ability of Apostle Holy City is stronger than I thought."

"The Saints are too cautious; we haven't found much information related to Apostle Holy City."

Bai Fu walked over to the crowd and tossed Frank out.

"We couldn't find the people from Apostle Holy City, but I caught one of Lupus's subordinates. Lupus entrusted him with collecting the True Spirit Pillar, and didn't kill him to cover up after the deed, which means he must hold a significant position in the Wanling Sect and knows a lot of Lupus's secrets."

At this moment, Demetri and Chong Xiao were furious because the Saints had escaped, their gaze turned colder when they saw Frank being thrown over.

"I..."

Frank was petrified.

He was just a Catastrophe Level; did they really need four Super Supremes and nine Dominators to deal with him?

What a disaster!

Frank now regretted it.

Had he not stayed behind to taunt Bai Fu after stealing the "True Spirit Pillar," would she have not marked him for capture?

"Torture him; I want to see if the Empire's punishment can pry open his mouth!"

Frank was led away, and the other members of the Ten Saints Association or Wanling Sect captured did not escape either.

Now with Empire people filled with anger, their methods were naturally harsh.

Among those captured were many ruthless characters and those whose memories and spirit had been altered, but since a large number of people were captured, the Empire managed to find a breakthrough on the day they returned.

"According to Frank, the Saints did not hand over the Secret Glimpse Crystal Ball to Apostle Holy City; instead, they reached a usage agreement."

"Apostle Holy City knew about the Three Major Cosmic Civilizations through the Saints. They have been holding off from causing trouble because they were looking for the Spirit Holy Hall, wanting to use its power to artificially create Angels."

"Lupus hooked up with the Saints about twenty years ago; since then, Frank has been helping to collect the True Spirit Pillar. Initially, Frank thought Lupus teaming up with the Saints was simply to use the Secret Glimpse Crystal Ball to become stronger. But the more he thought about it, the odder it seemed because the Saints had already allowed Lupus to use the Secret Glimpse Crystal Ball, yet Lupus continued to mingle with them."

"During the interrogation, Frank also mentioned something related to you?"

Bai Fu was taken aback, "Related to me?"

She's been in the Star Sea for not even a decade; how could she have any connection with Lupus.

Julian said, "Precisely speaking, it's related to Fei Ye. When Fei Ye was in her teens, wasn't her hometown once invaded by the Void? Frank confessed, the Void invasions that erupted in the Sea Lion Star System during that time were actually instigated by Lupus."

As these words fell, Bai Fu heard the task completion notification in her ear.

[You have completed the Hidden Task [Malice from the Void], reward: 1,000,000 experience points]

This task had been triggered a long time ago, the condition for completion being to keep Fei Ye's affinity above 60 until a new task was triggered.

Since the task had been completed, did that mean the intelligence provided by Frank was true?

At that moment, a new notification sounded.

[You have triggered the Hidden Task [Another Dimension]]

[Task Introduction: Even Frank, a close confidant, does not know the real reason for Lupus's contact with the Void. This secret might concern the direction of the entire world. To clarify the truth, perhaps only by asking those involved in the Void invasion event]

[Task Objectives:

Option 1. Ask Lupus why he contacted the Void;

Option 2. Use Void Resonance Consciousness to awaken the consciousness of Sister Fei Ye deep within Fei Ye's soul.]

[Reward: 1 billion experience points, random Void Talent, Exploration Degree, the first piece of Seeker's Title Fragment]

Wow, this reward!

Bai Fu was taken aback.

High experience points+ rare Void Talent + Exploration Degree, these three alone were enticing, the details of that Title Fragment might be unknown, but it surely sounded impressive.

The original Seeker, huh!

And such a high-level task only gives one fragment!

Bai Fu was overjoyed.

Torturing Frank really brought plentiful gains.
