...

Su Xiao used the "Book of Repentance," and the mission completion rate increased from 34% to 42%. As for the final completion rate of the mission, it would require a comprehensive assessment a few hours later.

Even so, Su Xiao guessed that the mission completion rate wouldn't reach 100%, but he had done everything he could.

Su Xiao walked towards the direction of Liudong Temple, bearing the scorching sensation. He had promised the old priest to break the dispersion spirit barrier at Liudong Temple.

One hour later, Su Xiao returned to the barren land below the mountain.

"Woof."

Buried in the weeds, Bu Bu barked. Su Xiao waved at Bu Bu, and just as he was about to meet up with Bu Bu, Jian Tong Ying, and others, his footsteps suddenly halted. There was something else in the vicinity of Bu Bu.

"Ha!"

Familiar growls reached his ears. Hearing these growls, Su Xiao instinctively raised his Dragon Slayer Flash, ready to defend against some creature's attack. If one were to look closely at the weeds near Bu Bu, they would spot a creature with white fur on its back.

"They just don't give up, do they?"

Su Xiao tightly gripped the Dragon Slayer Flash, his expression not showing much, but he was surprised to see Plain Head, who had been scalped by him, finding the location of Bu Bu and others. Was he setting up an ambush? Su Xiao immediately dismissed the thought as he glanced at Bu Bu. There was no way Bu Bu would have betrayed him.

Plain Head, who had been scalped by Su Xi using the Dragon Slayer Flash, stood upright, and the two sides began to confront each other.

Bu Bu quickly ran between Su Xiao and Plain Head.

"Woof, woof."

Bu Bu barked at Plain Head a couple of times, and upon hearing Bu Bu's barks, the hostility in Plain Head's eyes visibly diminished.

"Ha, ha, ha~."

Plain Head pointed to his bald hairstyle and then to Su Xiao.

"Woof, woof, woof..."

"Ha~."

"Woof!"

"Ha!!"

Surprisingly, Bu Bu was communicating with Plain Head. Seeing this scene, Su Xiao was a bit bewildered.

"Bu Bu, what's going on?"

Bu Bu turned to look at Su Xiao, and his gaze seemed to say, "Master, this is my new 'friend' I met earlier, and he had a pretty tough time."

Su Xiao's mouth twitched, and for a moment, he didn't know whether to fight or make peace.

After a few minutes of communication between Bu Bu and Plain Head, Plain Head nodded, glanced at Bu Bu, and his expression seemed to say, "I'll give you face today."

Bu Bu happily ran to Su Xiao's side, using his eyes to secretly hint at Su Xiao, as if saying, "Master, when I encountered this guy earlier, I found out that he wanted to seek revenge on you, but I couldn't beat him. Through my efforts, I successfully fooled him."

Su Xiao roughly understood what was going on. After he shaved Plain Head's head and gave him a beating, there was no way Plain Head would just let it go. Plain Head must have returned to Liudong Temple to seek revenge. Along the way, he encountered Bu Bu, who, through a combination of persuasion and snacks, managed to pacify him. Then, Su Xiao appeared, leading to the current situation.

"What does he want?"

Su Xiao, accompanied by Bu Bu, walked toward the barrier.

"Woof."

Bu Bu barked.

"Freedom?"

Su Xiao looked at Plain Head, and Plain Head at the end of the group noticed Su Xiao's gaze and also looked at him.

"You are already free. Xiu Si has been killed by me."

Upon hearing Su Xiao's words, Plain Head Brother froze and instinctively looked towards the distant mountaintop, which was still ablaze in crimson.

Plain Head Brother began to contemplate something. After a few seconds, he approached Su Xiao, pointing at the white fur that Su Xiao had shaved and making a few hand gestures.

"What does it mean?"

Although Su Xiao had a good understanding of 'beast language,' Plain Head Brother's expression was too abstract.

After Bu Bu's translation, Su Xiao understood Plain Head Brother's intention. The previous grudges were forgiven, and Plain Head Brother wanted to return to Fuyuki City, which had been its home before.

Given Plain Head Brother's temperament, it was clearly impossible for him to be subdued by humans. Maintaining a non-hostile relationship with him relieved Su Xiao. Despite appearing strong, he was severely injured and in urgent need of rest.

Once his injuries had healed, Su Xiao would rejoin the Holy Grail War.

Su Xiao was unaware that a group of people was preparing to target him.

The group successfully passed through the outermost barrier of Liudong Temple, which was a one-way barrier easily crossed from the inside.

Just as they left the barrier, Su Xiao turned to look back. What met his eyes was a wilderness.

Liudong Temple had been obliterated, but this barrier still remained. This meant that the barrier concealing Liudong Temple was unrelated to the temple itself, which was quite intriguing.

Who could have set up this barrier? Vengeful spirits? Although that was a possibility, Su Xiao suspected that the barrier was arranged by the Church.

Without the approval of both the Church and the Mage's Association, vengeful spirits couldn't occupy Liudong Temple. This barrier acted as a "fig leaf," concealing certain things that shouldn't be probed too deeply; otherwise, trouble would ensue, just like with this barrier.

Su Xiao didn't have time to ponder this matter. Right now, he needed rest. He led Bu Bu and the others straight to Fuyuki City.

When Su Xiao reached the outskirts of Fuyuki City, the sky was beginning to lighten. He had teetered on the edge of life and death many times throughout the night.

Upon arriving in Fuyuki City, Plain Head Brother and Su Xiao's group split up. Plain Head Brother hastened into the city with a look that seemed like he was going to seek revenge on someone.

Before Su Xiao, Plain Head Brother had lived in a zoo, and his arch-enemy was a female lion. With Plain Head Brother's current strength, he could easily subdue that female lion.

At the outskirts of Fuyuki City, Su Xiao found an uninhabited villa. He set up several security measures around the villa with his tired body.

In the early morning, in the bedroom of the villa, Su Xiao lay on the bed, with Jian Tong Ying standing beside him. She was using her clumsy little hands to help Su Xiao wrap bandages around his arm, being very careful.

After Jian Tong Ying finished wrapping Su Xiao's arm with bandages, a rare smile appeared on her face.

Su Xiao raised his arm and wasn't sure how many layers of bandages Jian Tong Ying had wrapped around it. His arm was now thicker than his leg.

"That should do it. You can rest now."

"Okay."

Jian Tong Ying ran off, leaving Su Xiao alone in the room. The previous battle had left him severely fatigued. Fortunately, Bu Bu had managed to placate Plain Head Brother. If they had engaged in combat, Su Xiao likely wouldn't have been a match for him.

The Apostle's Eye floated in the room, on alert. Su Xiao lay on the bed to recuperate. With nothing else to do, he opened the Derivative World Contact Platform.

Big E (Free Agent): "What's going on? Why is no one talking? Is something wrong?"

This message had been sent three hours ago, and since then, there had been no activity on the Derivative World Contact Platform.

Christmas (Free Agent): "Is there anyone... alive?"

A message suddenly popped up, and upon seeing it, Su Xiao's pupils contracted. He immediately began composing a response.

White Night (Free Agent): "Umbrellaless Brother?"

In less than a few seconds, Christmas, also known as Umbrellaless Brother, replied.
