Chapter 309 Chaos

Just now, when the power of thunder struck the Emperor Spider, it directly sensed that Ye Xuan was not easy to deal with, so it chose to go invisible.

Ye Xuan didn’t have the ability to see through, so after the opponent went invisible, his expression changed slightly, looking around with a serious expression.

At this moment, with the opponent invisible, Ye Xuan really had no good way to deal with it.

If there were no other people present, Ye Xuan could directly use electromagnetic manipulation, unleash a thunderous onslaught, bombarding everything around with the power of thunder, ensuring that this Emperor Spider would die beyond death.

But now, with so many ordinary people around, Ye Xuan couldn’t do that.

And at this moment, the others around were also startled, watching the situation escalate, all wanting to escape.

The Emperor Spider took advantage of the chaos to flee outside, its frontal combat ability not very strong, completely unable to confront Ye Xuan head-on.

Watching this scene, Ye Xuan felt a bit anxious. After finally finding this Emperor Spider, he couldn’t let it escape like this.

Then, Ye Xuan shouted loudly, “Everyone stop!”

As his voice fell, Ye Xuan’s body floated up, crackling with electricity. He opened his hands and pushed into the void.

Suddenly, the entire banquet hall was enveloped in a layer of purple thunderous energy, forming a thunderous space.

Next, Ye Xuan looked down at everyone and said, “There is a hidden mutated beast present, adept at transformations and very tricky. Before capturing the mutated beast, no one is allowed to leave!”

At Ye Xuan’s words, the scene immediately erupted into a commotion. The people attending this charity banquet were either wealthy or of high status, with very different backgrounds.

Although they all understood the extraordinary status of Awakened individuals today, especially outstanding ones like Ye Xuan and Su Mengli, they had been quite polite towards them before.

However, now with the appearance of the mutated beast attack, their lives were in danger, yet Ye Xuan sealed off the scene, not allowing them to leave. How could this be acceptable?

Qi Dongqiang wiped off the foul-smelling saliva from his face and loudly said to Ye Xuan, “Capturing mutated beasts is your Awakened people’s business, what does it have to do with us? It’s so dangerous here, let us leave quickly!”

With Qi Dongqiang taking the lead, others also began to accuse, “Hurry up! Let us leave quickly, or I will complain against you!”

“Why should we be trapped here if you want to capture the mutated beast with your own abilities?”

Listening to these words, Ye Xuan opened his right hand, gathering purple thunderous energy in his palm, forming a shimmering thunderball.

Next, Ye Xuan looked at the crowd and said calmly, “Just now you all saw, that mutated beast has the ability to transform. It has now become one of you, likely the one who was most aggressive, could very well be the transformed mutated beast. Sacrifice and bloodshed are necessary to eradicate the mutated beast. I ask, who else is eager to leave?”

As Ye Xuan’s words fell, the thunderball in his palm instantly transformed into a thunder spear made of condensed thunderous energy.

Weighing the thunder spear in his hand, Ye Xuan seemed prepared to throw the thunder spear at any moment.

This thunder spear, flashing with thunderous light, was thick and long. If it hit someone, they would ascend to the heavens in an instant.

For a moment, the people at the banquet were all pale with fear, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing these people quiet down, Ye Xuan continued to contemplate what to do next.

Suddenly, Ye Xuan faintly heard some strange whispers, the voices were very peculiar, causing a momentary daze in Ye Xuan’s mind, but he quickly regained his composure.

At this moment, Qi Dongqiang was angrily staring at Ye Xuan, saying, “Capturing mutated beasts is your business. I want to leave now. If you have the guts, try to kill me!”

As Qi Dongqiang spoke, he strode towards the thunder barrier set up by Ye Xuan, looking fearless.

Several others also followed suit, seemingly not caring about their own lives.

Ye Xuan’s expression changed. These people certainly cherished their lives, having earned so much money, they valued their lives more than ordinary people.

The reason they had turned into this state should be because of the voices they heard earlier.

The Emperor Spider had too many abilities. In addition to invisibility, duplication, and transformation abilities, it also had the ability to hypnotize.

Although its hypnotic ability was not very strong, it could influence even ordinary people with strong willpower.

But there were not many with strong willpower present, they were all swayed by the Emperor Spider’s hypnotic ability, now looking like they wanted to die.

If these people were to act recklessly, Ye Xuan would fulfill their wishes.

But now they were under hypnosis, and Ye Xuan couldn’t just watch them be struck down by his thunderous power.

Although Ye Xuan wanted to eliminate the Emperor Spider, he couldn’t ignore the lives of the people at this charity banquet.

The Emperor Spider had absorbed the abilities of so many people, gained many human memories, completely grasping Ye Xuan’s weaknesses, which was why it resorted to such methods.

Finally, as Qi Dongqiang and the others approached the thunder barrier, the barrier disappeared instantly, and the Emperor Spider seized the opportunity to escape in the chaos.

A hint of anger flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. This Emperor Spider was truly cunning, escaping in such a way!

In fact, there was another way to deal with the Emperor Spider, which was to have Xia Mo cosplay as someone with a unique ability in advance.

One that could see through things, presumably capable of breaking through invisibility abilities. However, after some thought, Ye Xuan ultimately didn’t do it.

Mengli had already gotten angry with Xia Mo because of his behavior. Although Xia Mo seemed to be trying to seduce her because of the influence of cosplay characters, Mengli was genuinely jealous, a fact Ye Xuan was well aware of.

Although Ye Xuan himself had no feelings for Xia Mo.

However, Chen Ya invited himself and Mengli to the charity banquet, but inexplicably called Xia Mo along again. What was that supposed to be? A threesome? Bringing a mistress out early to see the world?

Indeed, Ye Xuan could explain this, but Mengli couldn’t help but overthink, and might even be heartbroken because of it. Therefore, after weighing the options, he decided not to ask Xia Mo for help.

Perhaps he could try to keep the Emperor Spider here, but unfortunately, he had been too presumptuous. The Emperor Spider was too intelligent, using hypnotic methods to force Ye Xuan to break the barrier and let it escape.

As the thunder barrier shattered, the wealthy guests scattered and fled, not wanting to stay a minute longer in a place with a man-eating monster.

At this moment, Ye Xuan stood still, at a loss for what to do.
