Chen Lun woke up from his dream.
Recalling the predictions given by "Dream Divination".
'The Ancient Reader Team... and some kind of extraordinary beast that can disrupt space... So are they deliberately restricting my teleportation and cloud leaping?'
Chen Lun pondered for a moment.
'And they were targeting Joke, not Jack... The historical traces that were exposed were referring to the destruction of the Peacock City History and Ceremonial Society building.'
He sat cross-legged on the bed, then took out a brand new deck of playing cards and used "card divination" again to further confirm the prediction.
Swish, swish, swish…
Chen Lun crossed his hands, and the playing cards left afterimages at an extremely fast speed, making dense and loud sounds.
"The Ancient Reader team has the ability to lock onto my location..."
He murmured.
But soon, Chen Lun realized that this question was too general, so he added:
"The Ancient Reader Team that is hunting down Spade Knight Qiao Ke this time has the ability to lock onto the target's location."
Swish!
Between the hands that were shuffling the cards, a poker popped out and hovered in front of Chen Lun.
Immediately, it flipped over on its own, revealing the big red ace face.
The predicted result is yes!
'Can you lock my location...'
Chen Lun felt a bit of a headache as this opponent seemed to be more difficult to deal with.
"In this case, I don't know when they will take action, so I can't go back to the winery for the time being, otherwise Jack's identity will be easily exposed..."
Soon, he started the second round of divination.
"This time, the Ancient Reader team that is hunting down Spade Knight Qiao Ke is carrying a supernatural beast that can disrupt space... The spatial movement ability of the Destiny Path will be affected."
Chen Lun raised the question.
Swish!
This time it’s the big red trump card again, which indicates affirmation!
"The Ancient Reader Team that is hunting down Spade Knight Qiao Ke this time has a high-ranking extraordinary person hiding behind them, ready to take action at any time."
Chen Lun asked the third question.
But this time, a small black trump card popped out, indicating denial.
After seeing this card, Chen Lun did not show any joy, but frowned. Logically speaking, the destruction of his spiritual protection item Maggie's Tears must have been caused by someone in a higher position.
"Could it be that they interfered with my divination? But... Fairyland's power is not low. I can even see the traces of Howard's actions. There is no reason to completely blind me."
Chen Lun pondered.
'Perhaps there are two possibilities. Either it is true as predicted by the divination, the high-ranking person of the History and Ritual Association merely tried to find out who the real attacker was, and then left it alone... Or this high-ranking person is an angel-level being, which is completely beyond my understanding.'
He thought about it and felt that the latter speculation was less likely.
Because in Chen Lun's cognition, angels and even gods rarely show up or take action. Although Spade Knight Qiao Ke is "notorious" and even on the Empire's S-level wanted criminal list, he is not even in their eyes.
In short, not good enough.
Not to mention that he only destroyed the headquarters building of the Peacock City History and Ritual Association. Even if he destroyed all the association branches in Yanbang, he would not attract the angels' pursuit.
Looking back at the memories of his previous life, Chen Lun had heard of angels taking action only a few times. Every time they took action, they participated in a major event, were very purposeful, and ended very quickly, as if they didn't want to waste any time...
'Except for the Lord of Slaughter, I have not seen any active angels... Judging from the situation of Her Majesty the Cat Goddess Maggie, angels seem to prefer quietness to activity and do not like to show up in the world.'
Chen Lun thought.
Because of the continuous high-intensity divination, he felt a little tired. He took a look at his physical strength and found that it had dropped below half.
But he still gritted his teeth and did one last card divination.
The question for divination is how dangerous this encounter is.
Swish, swish, swish!
Three cards pop out and turn over one by one.
Two hearts suit cards and one spade suit card.
'Dangerous, but tolerable?'
Chen Lun let out a long breath, gathered the cards together, and placed them in his palm.
"And the pairs of hearts also indicate hidden opportunities..."
He drank a bottle of thirst quencher and recovered his strength while thinking.
After a while.
Chen Lun's eyes suddenly lit up.
"That giant beast! Extraordinary biological characteristics!"

Since he couldn't return to the winery for the time being, Chen Lun simply stayed in Jiaoshan City.
Although the Ancient Reader Team had the ability to lock their position, they would not stay there foolishly and wait for the other party to arrive. Chen Lun was ready to destroy the Red Apple Church here, and then rush to the next red disaster area without stopping.
He planned to hunt indiscriminately, first to raise his level to the maximum, and by the way, to escape these guys who were concerned with history and rituals.
However, in order to ensure his own safety, he contacted someone in advance just in case.
Mr. Byers!
Now that Byers has been promoted to the Moon Saint, she is hunting in the second layer of the deep spiritual world, the dark world. In her words, she is seeking revenge for her lover Youlan, because Youlan was killed by the polluted creatures of the dark world.
At the same time, it is also a way to adapt to and become familiar with high-level power, and prepare for formal revenge on Terrence in the future.
Byers told Chen Lun that if he needed anything, he could contact her through the token, the Orchid Statue, and she would definitely help.
'Mr. Byers is the best fighter I can hire at this stage... The Goddess of Cats has fallen into a deep sleep, the King of Slaughter needs a fine wine that can impress her, but I can't make it for now, Her Majesty the Witch is busy, and the Moon Goddess... Forget about the Moon Goddess, she's even more illusory.'
Chen Lun was thinking in his mind.
At the same time, he was also surprised that he actually had such a wide network of contacts, but it was a pity that it was difficult to use them. After all, he was still too weak and could not offer enough benefits to drive these high-ranking people to help him.
"But I still have the Gold Cup, which allows me to summon the support of the Murder Club members once for free... I also have more than a dozen bottles of fine wine on hand, which can definitely call a group of Silver Cup-level killers to help me."
He smiled.
"What gave you the illusion that there was only one Spade Knight...?"

Two days later.
Some posts appeared on the game forum.
"Shock! Spade Knight Joko appears again!"
"It's been raining heavily in Yanbang recently. I counted on my fingers and found out that it was the tears shed by the Red Apple Church!"
"Three city branches! Twelve town branches! Uproot them all! The Spade Knight is the true doom of the Red Apple Church!"
"The strong promoter of the main quest - Spade Knight Qiao Ke! He single-handedly pushed the progress of the main quest of version 1.0 by two percentage points!"
These posts are all screenshots taken by players who were active in the Yanbang Red Disaster Area in the past two days.
The figure wearing rusty armor, a scarlet cloak on his back, and holding a huge silver sword in his hand, was crazily killing red-robed monks and fallen believers in various urban areas.
There are screenshots from all angles. Although they are not clear, they are full of violent aesthetics.
Blood, broken limbs and the hideous and distorted faces of the dead interweave into the knight's masterpiece.
Many players even saved these screenshots and used them as wallpapers for their sleeping cabins. It can't be said that he is handsome, but it can only be said that he hits the high point of many male players.
How can you not feel good when you treat the version BOSS forces like melon peels and chop them down indiscriminately
Whenever these male players look at the screenshots, they seem to be able to put themselves into the story, and they wish they could just pick up a kitchen knife and cause trouble for the Red Apple Church.
In addition, another hot topic on the forum is the live broadcast of the Lost Name Guild.
As one of the three major guilds, Lost Name is also divided into several "project teams", the two largest groups of which joined the Red Apple Church and the History and Ritual Association respectively.
But now it seems that the loss of reputation is about to become a laughing stock.
"But let's go for it! And you still have the nerve to do a live broadcast!"
"I'm afraid your colleagues in the Red Apple Church have been chopped down, right?"
"I guess he's been killed to the point where he can't log in..."
"I suggest you change the title. You are lucky enough to be involved in the hunt for the Spade Knight... Is that a mission you are qualified to be involved in? You are not a fool!"
"I was treated like a dog for two days, and I was chased after and sniffed for farts. It was so funny."
Landon, the vice-president of the Lost Name Guild, was staring at the screen in his own live broadcast room.
Seeing those mocking and contemptuous comments, he felt like a fire was burning in his heart, and he wanted to immediately get the guild members to beat up the Spade Knight and give these little black guys a good slap in the face.
Landon was on pins and needles and smoked a few cigarettes. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer and logged into the game himself. He used the guild channel to contact his subordinates who were doing the task and asked them how the situation was.
"The guild finally received an A-level mission. This is a chance to make a name for itself! How come two days have passed and you haven't started yet? The live broadcast room is full of haters!"
"Vice-Chairman, it's not that we are not active, but that Spade Knight is too cunning... The senior leaders of the History and Ritual Association have not yet caught up with the target, and there is nothing we can do."
The subordinate had a bitter face as he and a group of companions were setting up defenses in a small town in Yanbang.
All around were ordinary NPCs from the History and Ritual Association.
"Besides, we are only responsible for interception and surveillance, and we may not encounter the mission target..."
The more Lanton thought about it, the angrier he became, so he simply gave an order.
"Don't make so many excuses. No matter what, you have to at least capture the battle scene. Otherwise, all the resources we spent on building momentum will be wasted!"
"Got it, Vice President, we'll try our best..."
Just at this moment.
Landon saw that his subordinates had stopped communicating. After a few seconds, he sent a message:
"Vice-Chairman! The Spade Knight has appeared! Check out the live broadcast!"
Landon was stunned at first, then he opened the game forum as quickly as possible and clicked into his own live broadcast room.
He saw the scene through the barrage of comments that filled the screen.
It was raining heavily at this moment. In the hazy picture, the terrifying knight was dragging a huge sword and walking slowly from the end of the town's main street.
Suddenly, a group of people in yellow robes appeared in the air, as if they had emerged from the air one after another and landed directly in front of the knight.
Landon then held his breath.
