Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Envoy of Filth

Inside the Smith family ancestral home, Irving was leading his companions quickly toward the exit.At that moment, the exit of the Smith family ancestral home was shrouded in a thick black mist, which was entirely different from the dark fog that Elder Howard possessed. This black mist enveloping the exit appeared like a pool of rotting sludge.

Within this decaying sludge lay the powers of chaos, mingled with a certain degree of blood moon energy. Ordinary members of the Night Blades were incapable of wielding such abilities; the one responsible for this display was a powerful figure sent by the Shadow Celestial to the real world, known as the Envoy of Filth.

The Envoy of Filth was hiding not far from the exit of the Smith family ancestral home, quietly observing everything. The task assigned to him by the Shadow Celestial was to launch an assault on the Smith family's residence, thereby forcing Irving and his companions to flee quickly from the ancestral home. The Envoy of Filth was determined to remain there until he confirmed that Irving had left the premises.

Behind the Envoy of Filth, two ordinary members of the Night Blades were watching the direction of the exit with trepidation. These two members had actually experienced all the previous battles. They understood very well that Irving's strength surpassed all expectations. Although the Envoy of Filth had demonstrated power beyond that of Elder Seville, they still felt that his efforts would ultimately fail.

Under the gaze of the three, Irving and his group burst out of the Smith family ancestral home. As soon as one of the ordinary Night Blades spotted Irving, he spoke in a trembling voice, "Envoy! Our task is complete! Can we leave now? Staying here could expose us to unpredictable dangers."

Upon hearing the words of the Night Blades member behind him, the Envoy of Filth quietly nodded. The three of them then swiftly departed.

Irving and his companions remained unaware of the Envoy of Filth's presence. At that moment, Irving was studying the pool of rotting sludge enveloping the exit of the Smith family ancestral home.

"The members of the Night Blades cannot use such powers. So our previous assumption was correct: Shadow Celestial has already begun targeting us," Irving said coldly to the others behind him.

At this point, Aron directly asked Irving, "What should we do now? We need to identify Shadow Celestial's subordinates! The threat they pose to us is immense."

Irving nodded in agreement with Aron's statement.

"You're right, but how are we supposed to draw them out? They certainly won't reveal themselves easily! Shadow Celestial hasn't decided to confront me in a final showdown yet!"

Irving had a good understanding of Shadow Celestial. During their previous collaboration, he had sensed that Shadow Celestial was a very cautious individual. This meant that unless he was confident of victory, Shadow Celestial would never personally appear before Irving. It stood to reason that his subordinates would be equally careful.

Aron continued, "We can mobilize our allies to gather all intelligence related to chaos energy. Shadow Celestial's subordinates must be using chaos powers. Moreover, our actions won't raise any alarms, as Shadow Celestial and his followers know that our current objective is to track down the whereabouts of the chaos artifacts. Therefore, searching for information related to chaos energy is completely normal."

After learning that Shadow Celestial had taken control of the Night Blades, Aron had become quite hostile toward him. Irving found Aron's plan to be indeed feasible.

"Then let's proceed with your plan!" Irving said decisively. "Although we may not necessarily find leads on Shadow Celestial's subordinates, at the very least, we can make them temper their arrogance."

Irving was deeply concerned that Shadow Celestial's subordinates would take a series of actions in the near future. If they caused significant chaos in the real world, it would worsen the situation for him and the Angel Guild.

After making the final decision, Irving led the members of the Angel Guild back to the City of Warding.

In contrast, the Envoy of Filth did not leave Starling City as quickly as Irving did, for he had someone to meet in the city.

The Envoy of Filth, accompanied by two Night Blades members, arrived at the commercial district of Starling City. In a concealed location, he met with the leaders of two prominent families in Starling City.

These two family heads had never had a good relationship with Irving; their dissatisfaction with him had been brewing for a long time. Although they did not dare to confront Irving directly, they still hoped to provide assistance to his enemies.

Upon meeting the Envoy of Filth, the heads of the two families felt that the one who could finally defeat Irving had arrived.

"Why did you arrive so late?! If the Night Blades had sent you sooner, we wouldn't have needed to engage in a false collaboration with Irving," the head of the Rivera family in Starling City said in a sycophantic tone.

The Envoy of Filth nodded.

"Our Night Blades had more pressing matters to attend to previously, which is why I had to stay in the Shelter Game world. Now that we have nearly resolved our affairs there, we can focus on our next steps."

"When do you plan to take action? Have you already formulated a strategy against Irving?" the head of the Schmidt family in Starling City quickly inquired.

For both the Rivera and Schmidt families in Starling City, having chosen to cooperate with the Night Blades, they naturally hoped for a swift and significant blow against Irving.

The Envoy of Filth replied in a deep tone, "I do have a plan prepared against Irving. However, now is not the right time to act. We must patiently await a better opportunity."

The Envoy's response left the heads of the Rivera and Schmidt families feeling quite disheartened.

"Why must we wait any longer? We could set a trap for Irving right here in Starling City. Or you could attack the distribution of the Angel Guild in Starling City, just like the previous Night Blades elder did. Irving would never allow the Angel Guild's presence in Starling City to be destroyed. At that point, we could ambush him while he is occupied."

The head of the Rivera family was eager to see Irving face a devastating blow quickly, as Irving had already begun to suspect the Rivera family of foul play.

The Envoy of Filth looked expressionlessly at the head of the Rivera family. "Do you think your strength surpasses mine? Do you believe your intelligence is greater than mine?"

Faced with the Envoy of Filth's inquiry, the head of the Rivera family quickly responded, "How could my strength compare to yours? I certainly don't have your level of intellect! I merely wish to remind you not to miss a good opportunity."

"I will not miss any good opportunities!" the Envoy of Filth declared. "If we act now, we will only fall into a trap set by Irving. Furthermore, my plan requires more time to prepare. All you need to do is provide me with sufficient intelligence. Before we take action, I will inform you in advance, and then you will know how to proceed."

After delivering this statement, the Envoy of Filth departed.

Though the two ordinary Night Blades members felt quite helpless, they could only leave with the Envoy of Filth.

Once all the Night Blades members had left, the head of the Schmidt family slammed his hand on the table in anger. "They are all a bunch of fools! Relying on them to defeat Irving is nearly impossible!"

The expression on the head of the Rivera family remained relatively unchanged, but internally he felt equally disappointed.

He had originally thought that with the arrival of a new powerhouse from the Night Blades, they could turn the tide in the real world. Who would have thought that this newly arrived Envoy of Filth would also shy away from a direct confrontation with Irving?

"I'm beginning to wonder if our previous decision was a mistake. If we beg for mercy from Irving now, do you think we could earn his forgiveness?" The head of the Rivera family in Starling City said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing his words, the head of the Schmidt family in Starling City incredulously asked, "You can't be serious, can you? Even if we begged for mercy from Irving, he would never forgive us. He made it very clear before that anyone who collaborates with the Night Blades is his sworn enemy."

After saying this, the head of the Schmidt family sighed. The situation had exceeded his imagination. There was no way out for him now; he was forced to continue collaborating with the Night Blades, going down this path to the end.

Meanwhile, the two ordinary Night Blades members were also puzzled by the Envoy of Filth's actions. They directly asked him, "If you do not intend to take immediate action, why did you meet with the heads of those two prominent families in Starling City? They could very well divulge information related to you."

The Envoy of Filth smiled upon hearing this. "I hope they do share information about me. The more people know about my abilities, the more likely they are to be defeated by me in battle."

The Envoy of Filth's words were certainly perplexing. However, the two Night Blades members understood that he surely had his own trump cards. Since he was so confident, they decided there was no need to question him further.

Thus, the Envoy of Filth returned to the City of Warding with the two ordinary Night Blades members.

In the City of Warding, another important figure was waiting for him—Elder Astra. At this moment, Elder Astra had already arrived at the port of the City of Warding with a Dark Portal, prepared to release a large number of Dark Monsters into the city.

Elder Astra stood by the sea, gazing out at the vast, dark ocean.

"Do you have something important you wish to discuss with me?" The voice of the Envoy of Filth rang out from behind him.

Elder Astra slowly turned around. "I hope to receive your assistance in the upcoming actions!"
