Chapter 155 St. Judicator

The Saint Judicators came to Central City for two things.

One was to investigate the death of the Child of Grace.

This matter was, in fact, hidden… after all, this was the Northern Continent. Before finding a convincing truth, the Saint Judicators had no right to take any action in Central City.

The other matter was to bring back the "Goddess of Light."

This was also why Jia Wei was able to arrive in Central City smoothly. Many days ago, he had sent several letters, conveying his friendly and polite greetings to Grand Duke Zhuxue, as well as his desire to bring back the Goddess of Light to Light City.

"..."

Meng Xizhou looked at the red-armored man kneeling before her, and fell into silence.

She knew.

Once Jia Wei came to her door, she would have no choice but to return to Light City with him… This unauthorized escape would likely result in a longer period of confinement upon her return.

However, there was no fear, regret, or similar negative emotions in her eyes.

Always.

Meng Xizhou's eyes were as clear as a blue lake.

"Rumble..."

At the edge of the suspended tower, there was a howling sound of wind. A source energy艇 rose into the night sky, its lights piercing the long night, falling on the rooftop where dignitaries gathered. The gangway extended, and Grand Duke Zhuxue stood before the observation deck, hands clasped behind his back, his robes fluttering.

"The Grand Knight has come so quickly. Lin Chou is remiss in not welcoming you sooner. Forgive my discourtesy."

Jia Wei rose, holding his sword, and looked at the source energy behemoth that illuminated the frost and snow. His face under the red armor showed no emotion. "Grand Duke Zhuxue is too kind. I have come to bring the Goddess back to Light City."

Lin Chou asked with a smile, "Now that you're here, why be so hasty? Why not stay in Central City for a few days before leaving?"

Jia Wei frowned slightly as he looked at Zhuxue standing under the light of the source energy艇. He didn't understand what this Grand Duke of the Northern Continent was up to.

Now that he was here, of course he wouldn't be in a hurry to leave.

He had come to the Northern Continent with so many Saint Judicators, obviously with something to do…

But Lin Chou's words sounded like a "warm invitation to stay."

"If that's the case, I shall accept your kind offer."

Jia Wei turned back and cast a glance at his Saint Judicator subordinates—

Lu Zhe waved his hand expressionlessly, removing the mental barrier.

The crowd parted again, creating an even wider aisle.

The Saint Judicators silently passed through the rooftop, coming to Jia Wei's back… Their actions were extremely tacit, and rather than being followers of the Light, they seemed like silent phantoms, their steps as light as ghosts.

This team of Saint Judicators, because of their complete devotion to life, could unleash incredibly astonishing combat power once the battle began.

For them—

Death was not to be feared.

After death, the soul returned to Light City, merged into the Red Lake, which was the best destination!

"Let's go, Goddess," Jia Wei said softly. "Please don't run away these next few days."

Having said that.

The red-armored Grand Knight took the lead and stepped onto the gangway.

The Saint Judicators, like ghosts, thronged behind the "Goddess," waiting for her to move forward.

Meng Xizhou had no choice but to follow Jia Wei.

As the Zhuxue source energy艇 left… the afterglow in the darkness slowly dissipated, and the oppression and aura from Light City were blown away by the wind.

...

...

"Heh..."

After the Zhuxue source energy艇 carrying the Saint Judicators left, Lu Zhe sneered.

The captain of the First Team slowly restrained his spirit.

The confrontation just now was quite tense.

Jia Wei deliberately released the pressure of the "Bright Light Armor," in fact, to express the Saint Judicators' determination to come to the Northern Continent in front of the Northern Continent dignitaries… Tonight was a demonstration of the Doru River battle results, and those who came were all important figures who had seen the disaster realm records.

Of course, they knew what had happened in the disaster realm.

They knew even more what the Saint Judicators' true purpose was!

Investigate the case!

Investigate the cause of "Meng Xiao's" death!

"Team Leader Lu, fortunately you came tonight too."

Fisher's expression was not good. He said in a deep voice, "This 'Jia Wei's' strength… seems to be even more terrifying than rumored."

A Fourth Order Supreme Being, wearing an S-grade 【Bright Light Armor】.

Most of the dignitaries only felt "strong," but didn't know how strong Jia Wei was!

Only those of the same rank could clearly feel… the vast power of this Light City Grand Knight.

If it weren't for Lu Zhe, if he really fought with the Saint Judicators, he and Zhong Yuan combined might not have gained the upper hand against Jia Wei.

"A Fourth Order Supreme Being, just a scary title."

Lu Zhe said indifferently, "Actually, whether I come or not, the ending tonight is the same. Grand Duke Zhuxue has already kept an eye on the 'Saint Judicator's' whereabouts. Everyone knows the purpose of this trip. If a fight really broke out, could Jia Wei still leave? No matter how strong he is, no matter how invincible he is in the 'Fourth Order,' it's of no use at all… As long as he violates the Northern Continent's iron laws, Her Majesty the Queen can crush him with a single finger."

"..."

Fisher gave a wry smile. "That's true."

"Little Fishy Fish, this is Central City." The captain of the First Team patted 【Living Fish's】 shoulder and said with a smile, "Even if the sky falls, Her Majesty is still here. Why be so nervous?"

Little Fishy Fish…

Fisher's face became very strange.

This was the first time he had heard such a nauseating nickname.

If his skin hadn't evolved to be as smooth as a shark, he probably would have been covered in goosebumps.

"However, we can't always expect Her Majesty to smooth things over. Fourth Order matters should be resolved by Fourth Order beings…"

Lu Zhe suddenly became serious again and said softly, "This guy is really an uninvited guest."

Jia Wei released the pressure of the Bright Light Armor to prove—

He was a "Fourth Order Supreme Being" in the Western Continent, and he was also a "Fourth Order Supreme Being" when he came to Central City.

In this situation, to defend the Northern Continent's dignity.

Sending out a titled expert, or even an apostle, would be inappropriate… Just as Lu Zhe said, Fourth Order matters should be resolved by Fourth Order beings.

His appearance tonight to resolve Jia Wei's pressure was equivalent to telling Light City.

You have a "Fourth Order Supreme Being."

My Central City has one too!

...

...

After many twists and turns, the banquet finally ended.

Gu Shen returned to the small courtyard on Suspended Mountain in Fisher's source energy艇, and the two chatted casually along the way.

"Brother Gu, the Saint Judicators have arrived in 'Central City.' You still need to be careful these days."

Fisher said seriously, "I live not far from you by 'Deep Lake.' If those guys do anything out of line, I'll arrive as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your kindness."

This was also Gu Shen's plan. He didn't like to go out anyway.

During this period, he would simply cultivate behind closed doors in the small courtyard on Suspended Mountain, quietly waiting for news from the Saint Judicators. The Northern Continent military should send Jia Wei's actions and related information to him as soon as possible.

Moreover, with Chu Ling, Gu Shen could control the entire Northern Continent's intelligence without going out.

"However… with Brother Gu's strength, just those Saint Judicators probably can't do anything to you. If there really is any 'misconduct,' Jia Wei might personally come forward."

Fisher looked at Gu Shen and said with a smile, "You truly are an S-class from the Eastern Continent. After the restart mission, I can't see through you anymore."

The news of Gu Shen's three breakthroughs was currently only known to Mu Wanqiu.

He had not announced it to the public.

As for "Meng Xiao's death," most of the captains felt that it was an accident caused by the arrival of the Traveler… Perhaps Gu Shen used some means in the process, but they would not believe that Meng Xiao was killed by Gu Shen from the seventh layer of the deep sea!

The first time they met at the Great Wall.

【Living Fish】 only felt that Gu Shen's mental strength was different from ordinary people.

But now.

He could no longer see through Gu Shen's mental sea.

Regarding this phenomenon, Fisher could only think that Gu Shen's "sealed item" had a shielding effect. He and Gu Shen were friends, so he would naturally not forcibly break through the shield to test the strength of Gu Shen's mental sea.

Actually.

Gu Shen's mental sea had already reached the Fourth Order. Although it couldn't compare to Living Fish, it was at least the same rank.

"Even Fisher's senses can't see through my mental sea now?"

Gu Shen was very satisfied with this news.

He secretly warned himself in his heart that he had just completed his third breakthrough, and he still needed to cultivate quietly to consolidate his strength.

"I will cultivate behind closed doors these next few days."

Gu Shen said gently, "Please help me tell everyone so that there won't be too many disturbances."

The bracelet had already given a clear indication—

It wouldn't be long before Jia Wei would "pay a visit" with the Saint Judicators… This was a major event that he needed to deal with seriously. This group of Saint Judicators was coming fiercely, but it seemed more like a bluff because they couldn't stay in the Northern Continent for long. If they couldn't find evidence in the Meng Xiao case, they would have to pack up and go home.

Most importantly.

Meng Xizhou had already reminded him that the more he avoided, the more suspicion he would arouse.

This visit was not just about dealing with Jia Wei's probing.

He had to completely remove himself from the "Child of Grace" incident.

"Don't worry."

Fisher said with a smile, "Like you, I like to cultivate quietly. That's why Mr. Zhuxue deliberately chose adjacent 'Deep Lake' and 'Suspended Mountain' for us. Those guys at the banquet tonight can't get this secret address."

Living Fish paused slightly and asked sarcastically, "Besides… Jia Wei and the Saint Judicators have all shown their faces tonight. How would they dare to visit you at this time?"

Those dignitaries didn't know what the result of this investigation would be.

But they knew that if they visited Gu Shen during this sensitive time, they might be targeted by the Saint Judicators…

It was a good thing.

Gu Shen smiled silently.

"However, if I remember correctly… you seem to have an appointment with 'Grand Duke Xiangchen.'"

As the micro airship stopped in front of the small courtyard on Suspended Mountain, Fisher suddenly remembered something when they parted and said meaningfully, "From what I know, Grand Duke Xiangchen is not someone who would care about the Saint Judicator turmoil…"

These words reminded Gu Shen.

This Grand Duke Xiangchen might actually visit him.

He quickly opened 【Deep Water Zone】 and drafted a reply, saying that he needed to cultivate behind closed doors recently and hoped that the appointment date could be delayed for a while.

The young man named "Li Bing" replied almost instantly.

He said that he fully understood and would wait at any time.

After doing all this, Gu Shen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"As for the appointment with 'Grand Duke Xiangchen,' let's wait until things have settled down…"

He returned to the courtyard, closed the courtyard door, and when he saw the Qingzhong ancient texts swaying in the wind, his heart was inexplicably more at peace.

"During this period, I'll quietly wait for the Saint Judicators."
