When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

At the behest of the Secret Tower's Housekeeper, those in the Secret Tower responsible for intelligence work scurried about, determined to fish out the author or power behind the leaked article in a very short time.

It must be said, the impact of this matter was too vile.

Rumors even spread that the great Secret Tower Master was romantically involved with the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress, this really... well, hold on a moment!

After reading the article shared by the Housekeeper, a subset of Secret Tower members began to feel increasingly that the article was very well-organized; even with close reading, it was difficult to find logical fallacies, it simply didn't seem fabricated.

The Secret Tower was a very unique organization; it was shrouded in mystery, not only to those on the outside who didn't understand it, but also to those within who did not hold pivotal positions.

After all, the Secret Tower was a terrorist organization with the mission of "revenge." Its internal departments did not have unified oversight. On normal days, members only encountered the Housekeeper who was tasked with handling everyday affairs. As for the Secret Tower Master, rumors had it that even the higher-ups rarely got to meet him in person.

Everyone just knew that the Secret Tower Master was incredibly powerful, beyond that they knew nothing, which left a lot of room for imagination.

[What I mean to say is, could it be possible that the article circulating online isn't spreading rumors but revealing a fact?]

Damn, that's very likely!

However, Secret Tower members who came to this realization didn't "disparage" the Secret Tower Master or think of him as a freak.

The universe was so vast; what bizarre romantic combinations hadn't been seen?

You could even find muscle men pitted against stone people on special websites.

Though stone people at least had a human form, and as for the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress... well, let's just say she was extraordinary!

Secret Tower members held the Secret Tower Master in high esteem.

"Worthy of the Secret Tower Master, truly the man among men, the dominator among males!"

"Whether he truly went there, or endured the humiliation for the sake of his grand mission, I have to say, impressive strength!"

Everyone expressed their admiration.

Under the leadership of such a real man, the Secret Tower had an even better chance to expand and strengthen, allowing everyone to realize their innermost desires!

If the Housekeeper knew what they were thinking, he might be angered to the point of spitting blood.

But admiration aside, all the Secret Tower members who read the article felt their hearts suspended.

The plans were exposed; although the whistleblower didn't specify the details of the Secret Tower's plans, it was enough to alert the other major civilizations of the Initial Gate Star System. In the days to come, the pressure the Secret Tower would have to endure would likely grow.

A tough situation.

With the Secret Tower's power, it was more than capable of taking on any civilization within the Initial Gate Star System alone, but if these civilizations banded together, the Secret Tower might find it a bit too much to handle.

They had to find the author of the article as soon as possible; who knows what else they might write.

With the efforts of their network experts, the Secret Tower quickly located the original posting site of the article, but to no avail. The article had been posted along a well-known trade route where myriad spaceships passed daily. Investigating each individual would take until when?

The Housekeeper was furiously indignant, unable to come up with a better solution for the moment and thus directed all his anger towards the Blessing Sect.

Regardless of the circumstances, the first thing to do was to snatch the True Spirit Pillar from the hands of the Blessing Sect!

At the same time.

Elon and Suixi, who had just returned to the Blessing Sect, harbored similar thoughts to the Secret Tower's Housekeeper.

"I don't know who wrote this article, but its release has turned the situation greatly in our favor!" Elon looked at the Pope clad in white with an uplifted expression, "Everyone's attention is focused on the Secret Tower now, we don't have to confront the Secret Tower alone anymore, we can secretly blend into the crowd and seize the opportunity to snatch the True Spirit Pillar. As long as we successfully get the True Spirit Pillar..."

Suixi cut off Elon's words, her usually icy face showing a tinge of fervor: "We can open the Gate of the Void Realm, receive the Angel Envoy's Blessing, and purify this Starry Sky!"

The Pope's face bore a kindly smile: "You both did very well this time, rest up for now. I'll go and tell our Lord about the recent events."

When mentioning that Lord, the looks in Elon's and Suixi's eyes significantly differed.

The former's eyes shimmered with excitement, while the latter's eyes drifted with a touch of indifference.

Neither of them spoke, and after nodding, they both left separately.

...

While the outside world was in turmoil over Bai Fu's powerful article, Bai Fu was happily browsing the newly unlocked Task.
