In the Liberty City, in the East End, in a complex of extremely luxurious villas.
In the treetops of a large leafy tree, an ornamental bird with its feathers reflecting brilliant colors in the sunlight stood in the wind, and a silver glow flashed imperceptibly from the depths of its beautiful sapphire pupils.
The next moment, in a space above the villas that the bird was watching, the void rippled slightly, and then a snow-white creature about the size of a football suddenly appeared in midair.
Bai Ling, who was floating silently in the hollow, looked down at the buildings below and muttered, "Is this it......?" Let me see where that target is......"
Invisibly, Bai Ling's perception began to spread rapidly in all directions, and in a short time, it covered the entire building complex below, which covered an area of thousands of kilometers.
Relying on his name's ability, Bai Ling quickly locked on to the target. Although it only knew the appearance and name of the person named Aosen, compared to these, the aura of the gluttonous demon seed on the other party's body that had just fused was the main clue that allowed Bai Ling to lock on his trail so quickly.
The next moment, the void once again rippled, and then Bai Ling's body suddenly disappeared into the air.
By the time it reappeared, it had reached the end of an underground hallway, in front of a heavy stone door.
Staring at the dense array of magic patterns on the stone door and the barrier that separated the internal and external connections, Bai Ling tilted his body.
"Hiding inside, with the help of the isolation of the enchantment, even turned the inside into a different space separated from the outside world...... Can you use these magic circle enchantments to shield the breath of the demon seed, and at the same time concentrate on digesting the power of the demon seed?"
Bai Ling immediately guessed what Orson was doing at the moment. It's a pity that this kind of shielding enchantment arranged by the other party can only conceal the long-distance and large-scale perceptual search of ordinary transcendents below the third and ninth order at most, but if it is faced with a specially targeted search, it may not be effective.

The high-level leaders of the various forces present had seen the interaction between Jiang Yan and Bai Ling throughout the whole process, and there were originally some contract elves who knew Jiang Yan for the first time were actually a small number of slimes, but they all changed color at this moment, and like most people, there was a little more solemnity in their eyes.
Originally, because Bai Ling's aura when he appeared completely revealed any powerful meaning, it was very inconspicuous, making everyone else almost think that this little guy was not strong, but with the spatial jumping ability that most of the people present could not perceive the traces of this hand that it was revealing now, few of the high-level leaders of the major forces present could guard against a sneak attack based on this move.
And this, depending on the situation, is just a pet under the dream master's crown. For a while, in the eyes of many forces, Jiang Yan's image added a bit of unfathomable impression.
"Then, ladies and gentlemen, please wait for good news. ”
Sensing that Bai Ling had arrived at the target area, Jiang Yan said to the forces of all parties with a smile, and then waved his hand, dissipating all the data light screens, and then directly closed his eyes and fell into a state of false sleep.
He was also joined by Oshoin and Trist, and even Yesin closed his eyelids at this time.
Seeing that several bigwigs were all looking like they were closing their eyes and recuperating, the other high-level leaders of the major forces, you look at me, I look at you, I was still curious about how the dream master's pet would capture Orson them, but at this time, there was no way, so I could only wait.
Jiang Yan can naturally broadcast the battlefield situation on Bai Ling's side directly on the Void Throne in the form of a data light screen for these people to watch, so that after watching Bai Ling's battle, he realizes Bai Ling's strength, and may also help these people have more awe for Bai Ling, and even Jiang Yan and the Dream Realm.
However, Jiang Yan felt that he did not have the need to do that.
Whether or not these people on the Void Throne were in awe of themselves and the Dream Realm didn't mean much to Jiang Yan, anyway, they were just some small characters who weren't very strong.
Real powerhouses like Yesin and Su Ya, who are also in the front row on the world stage, don't need Jiang Yan's help to broadcast, they also have their own ways to observe the battlefield situation on Bai Ling's side.
In that case, why should Jiang Yan bother to do it again. He was under no obligation to provide services to these insignificant fellows for free.
......
Shifts the camera to the main material plane.
As an alliance force, the Mercenary Association does not have a very clear territory, because they did not exist in the form of a national organization in the first place.
Because of its own form of operation, the association has built its own branch bases in the towns of various forces, so as to recruit and manage local mercenary affairs, and undertake various employment commissions.
And the branches of the mercenary association can be built in these towns, which naturally establishes a certain degree of cooperative relationship with the local official rulers.
Of course, as a big force that can rank among the top five in the entire world, although the structure is looser and the strength is very loose, the mercenary association should still have a few points, and it will not make the entire association in a state of being under the fence.
In the center of this continent in the main material plane, there is a city that covers a vast area, fully accommodating millions of people, and its scale is basically no less than the capital of a medium-sized country, which is called the City of Freedom.
And it is the management theme of the Mercenary Association.
That's right, this free city is the base camp of the Mercenary Association. It is also a city that is not under the jurisdiction of the kings or emperors of any country, and is completely governed by the mercenary association.
Because it is in the very center of the continent, the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest extend to the territory of the four top forces of the Duragon Empire, the Church of St. Angel, the Elemental Spirit Alliance, and the Phantom Beast Alliance, and it happens to become a buffer zone of contradictions tacitly recognized by the four major forces, making the city not subject to the interference of any major power, and it is all autonomous by the Mercenary Association.
More than two-thirds of the people who live in this free city are family members of mercenaries who have registered with the Mercenary Association.
And the respective families of the high-ranking members of the Mercenary Association naturally settled in this city. After all, this city is the base camp of the Mercenary Association, and naturally the most reliable combat force of the Association is stationed all year round.
Because it is located in the center of the continent and borders almost all major powers, the commercial economy of the Free City has developed extremely prosperously, and import and export goods from all over the world will basically stop and transit in the city, and even complete transactions directly in the city.
The Liberty City could make an astronomical amount of money in the course of its transactions alone, and most of this wealth was pocketed by the association to provide for its operating expenses and other purposes.
Based on the case of this commercially developed city, in the past, the city even had the title of 'commercial capital'.
Although this title has basically been faded after the rise of the Dream Country, after the advent of a series of special products in the Dream Country, and after the Dream Country built ultra-long-distance space teleportation base stations in the towns of the world's major powers and established teleportation network connections.
However, the prosperity of Liberty City is still maintained at a fairly high level. After all, the transmission base station built by the Dream Country is indeed very convenient to use, but the long-term transmission distance will still affect the consumption required for transmission, and the Freedom City, located in the center of the continent, has a very good geographical location in terms of transportation hubs, which is a natural advantage.
In the dream country, the Nederles province, because of its location as a transportation hub close to the center of the continent, coupled with the advantages brought by the dream country, can overpower the free capital.
At this moment, the former bustling scene of the Liberty City has changed, and although it is still densely populated, it seems to be a little depressed. However, this is not due to the commercial and economic shock of Dream Nation.
In fact, even if the Dream Nation rises and stirs up trouble in the commercial and economic circles of the whole world with those specialty goods, the prosperity of the Free City will still remain at a level that can be ranked in the top ten on the whole continent.
And now the city will look depressed, simply because of the demon seed frenzy that has been in full swing in recent days.
The hosts of the gluttonous demon species generally appear in the wild, sometimes ordinary beasts, and more of them are those wild elves, after they become the hosts of the demon species, because of the excessive appetite guided by the power of gluttony, they will basically go crazy to prey and devour the surrounding creatures, naturally, domestic animals and humans are also within their prey range.
And not only domestic animals and humans, but even the farmland grain planted by humans, as well as the orchard vegetables planted, will also be indiscriminately devoured and looted by the gluttonous ogre species.
Managed by the Mercenary Guild, Liberty City, a large city with a population of millions of people, would be too passive, if it relied entirely on foreign food imports from commercial activities.
The higher-ups of the Mercenary Association did not want to see such a situation, so although they did not establish a state, they also developed many sub-satellite towns and villages around Liberty City, and sent a large number of manpower to cultivate fields and grow various food crops in the land around Liberty City, and even fenced land in the field to raise cattle and sheep and other domestic animals on a large scale.
Because it is the base camp of the Mercenary Association nearby, and there are more than one high-level powerhouse of the Legendary Realm in the association, as well as an incalculable number of high-level mercenaries with extraordinary combat power, as a deterrent, the towns and villages around the Free City are rarely harassed by bandits and other disasters.
And because of the common tacit understanding, the regular forces of all parties generally do not intrude on the territory of the Free City casually.
This allowed the city of Liberty to develop smoothly.
However, the Gluttonous Eater Hosts, who are guided by appetite, will not tell you these rules, let alone be afraid of the deterrent power formed by the many masters in the Free City.
As a result, it is clear that the towns and villages around Liberty City have suffered extremely badly. The casualties are not mentioned for the time being, but the crops and livestock of the fields are being looted by the hosts of the gluttonous glutches, which can be called locusts transiting.
Naturally, the Free City, which had suffered such a great loss, could not remain indifferent, and the Mercenary Association immediately organized a large-scale extermination mission against the demon hosts.
It's a pity that it has had little effect, not only did it fail to successfully solve the demon seed disaster, but because of the unexpected and terrifying strength of the demon seed hosts, it led to the loss of the mercenary association itself.
Although it is not too difficult for the top standing powerhouses at the top of the Mercenary Association to deal with those hosts of the gluttonous demon species, it is a pity that the demon species hosts are like they cannot be killed, and after one batch is eliminated, another batch will always emerge soon.
The damage to food crops and livestock farms around Liberty City continues to grow, and it is not possible to completely solve it. The Mercenary Association is extremely troubled by this, but there is no good solution to it.
And because of the outbreak of the Demon Seed Plague, the trade routes along the way have also been greatly affected. As a result, the commerce of the Free City was severely affected.
In fact, not only the Free City, but all the forces in the entire main material realm plane are facing huge losses because of the Demon Seed Host. It's just that the Free City has suffered more because of its form of establishment and geographical location.
In such a situation, how can the inhabitants of the city still live happily as before!
And the family residence that Bai Ling is looking for, Na Aosen, is also in this city.
