Island Number 070203, Demon Hunter Island.
Ever since she arrived in this city, there hasn’t been a moment of peace.
Her current level was seven, allowing her to control any creature below her own rank.
Of course, she could also charm, which had a deeper mental influence, but since she hadn’t established her footing yet, she didn’t want to cause any deaths here.
After all, although she was a succubus, she wasn’t truly eager to sleep with these people.
“I’m going to attend an operation meeting the day after tomorrow.”
A figure walked in from outside.
It was Houmi, the man whom Qilin had controlled on her first day here, and also a level-six Demon Hunter.
These days, Qilin had been staying in his house, leading to some gossip in the city.
She had investigated the Demon Hunters as a group.
These guys were considered outcasts among humans.
They possessed supernatural powers and seemed born to fight certain monsters.
But at the same time, gaining such powerful abilities came with a drawback.
They lost their ability to reproduce, which was why most Demon Hunters in the city were single old men.
And with Houmi taking in such a beautiful woman whom he could only look at and not touch, others naturally talked even more, out of envy.
After all, dealing with monsters every day left them lacking in entertainment, so gossip within the city became their favorite topic.
Only, the monsters they faced before were now half-human, half-demon lords.
“Is the Guild Master very strong?”
She asked softly, her sweet voice seeming like a casual question to satisfy her curiosity.
“Level nine, the strongest in the entire Demon Hunter Guild.”
Houmi answered truthfully.
Over these days, he had already been completely influenced by Qilin at a subconscious level.
At this point, she felt like a close relative to him.
As for why she didn’t take full control, it was because she was worried about the Guild Master here.
After all, that person’s abilities were inherently effective against demons, and with a higher level, if discovered, she wouldn’t be able to stay here.
Compared to the dark, sunless abyss, she clearly preferred this sunlit city.
Who said demons had to live in the shadows?
So, this approach was also for safety.
Qilin’s original plan was to use the insiders she controlled within the guild to unite and accuse the Guild Master, force him to step down, then choose a suitable opportunity to eliminate him.
After all, she was already level seven—dealing with a level nine shouldn’t be too difficult.
And the operation meeting the day after tomorrow was the perfect chance.
She only needed to stay outside to minimize suspicion.
Those inside, under her influence, would naturally carry out the task.
It would be the best time to strike.
But when the night two days later arrived, the same night Qilin’s true body defeated the Goblin tribe, she changed her mind.
Because now, she was level nine.
There was no longer any need for caution.
She would attend the meeting herself, kill the Guild Master face-to-face, and take over the Demon Hunter Guild.
Houmi was just about to head out.
When he saw Qilin following, he frowned.
“Why are you coming? This isn’t something you should meddle in…”
Before he could finish, a hint of pink flashed in Qilin’s eyes.
Immediately, he became dazed, opened the door, and led the way outside.
She didn’t even bother closing the door.
By now, it was nighttime, and all Demon Hunters above level five in the city were required to attend the meeting.
So, under the dim yellow streetlights, many Demon Hunters could be seen on the stone-paved streets, also heading to the meeting.
When they saw the woman following behind Houmi, a teasing smile started on their lips, ready to joke—but in the next second, after meeting Qilin’s gaze, their minds went blank.
On the road, every Demon Hunter who saw her fell under her control.
The group scattered silently, all moving toward the central church of the city.
On the top floor of the church, a huge ancient clock swung back and forth, making a ticking sound.
In the moonlight, a slender figure stood tall, surveying the entire Demon Hunter city.
She was the Guild Master of the Demon Hunter Guild—a woman.
At this moment, her pale face was expressionless, brows slightly raised, lost in thought.
She didn’t know when it started, but in recent days, a sense of foreboding often rose in her heart.
She couldn’t figure out the reason.
It had caused her several nights of poor rest, especially tonight, as the sense of crisis intensified.
“What exactly is it…”
She could only stand on the church rooftop, letting the night wind blow over her, trying to calm her panicked heart.
“The meeting is about to start.”
She sighed.
She subconsciously believed this sense of crisis was caused by the lords on the island.
That was also why she was holding this meeting—planning to wipe out those lords.
But just as she was about to leap down, she saw the Demon Hunters approaching from afar.
Among them was an incredibly beautiful woman, surrounded by an indescribably strange atmosphere.
Her pupils contracted.
She didn’t know why, but with just one glance, she felt the source of her anxiety came from this woman.
“It’s her…”
Far away, Qilin, sensing someone’s gaze, looked up.
There was nothing above the church except a crescent moon hanging in the sky, painting a beautiful scene unique to the night.
Was it an illusion?
“Who are you?”
A cold voice sounded before her.
Qilin focused, realizing that at some point, a tall, blonde, fair-skinned woman had appeared in front of her.
“Guild Master?”
She sensed the powerful aura from the other, far beyond ordinary Demon Hunters.
At the same time, the Guild Master was also deeply shocked.
The moment she appeared, the surrounding Demon Hunters showed no reaction at all, as if they couldn’t see her.
This woman was definitely trouble!
“Who are you really? You’re not one of those rats from the Abyss. What have you done to them?”
She questioned harshly, and at the same time, decisively attacked Qilin.
A short dagger appeared in her hand at some point, thrusting straight toward the woman before her.
But at that instant, a figure stepped in front of Qilin.
The Guild Master instantly withdrew her blade, turning and staring in shock.
“Tos, are you insane?!”
She couldn’t believe it.
The second-in-command of her guild was protecting an outsider.
He was an eighth-level powerhouse, second only to herself—had he been influenced too?
Tap tap!
Footsteps echoed as the surrounding Demon Hunters closed in.
The Guild Master frowned deeply.
Clearly, these people weren’t here to help her.
