Chapter 153 Old Stories

After hearing the story about the Star Cluster Project, Gu Shen's mind remained troubled for a long time.

Over the years.

The winds of Changye had shifted.

Few people remembered this first-generation Grand Inquisitor.

In the eyes of many, the things Jing Shanyan had done were unforgivable and deeply sinful.

His identity and motives no longer mattered.

He refused to answer any questions about the past.

So the Federal Government locked him away forever beneath the earth. The "Deep Sea" system directly modified his citizen survival status. Chu Ling had previously provided a "List of Members of the Ancient Text Society," which did not include Jing Shanyan.

This was normal.

Because people like him.

Would never appear in the sunlight, only in the incomplete darkness of that list.

Jing Shanyan was likely one of the many "chain breakers" in the vast Ancient Text Society.

"Is there any way to save him?"

Gu Shen wondered silently in his spiritual sea.

The scene he had seen earlier, Jing Shanyan's head being taken off by Han Dang, was illogical. The Bi Wang Authority Realm was still running; how could the domain master die?

The divination image given by the bracelet would not be wrong.

Gu Shen stood up and said earnestly, "I think there might be another way to find Han Dang."

"Oh?"

Grandpa Gu raised an eyebrow and said, "If I'm not mistaken, what you used just now wasn't divination."

Gu Shen smiled and said nothing.

Back then, he needed the identity of a divination disciple to support his background.

Did he still need it now?

"I need to go back to Changye."

"Are you going to the cemetery to find that Miss Chu?"

Now, the true guardian of Qingzhong Cemetery had changed from Chino to Chu Ling.

At first, some people suspected that Chu Ling's existence was a fabricated lie.

But as Chu Ling descended and went out several times, senior officials in Changye, as well as some "passersby" in Snowfall Forbidden City, had successively seen this true divination inheritor, and their doubts were dispelled.

In the past, many people were dissatisfied with Chu Ling's identity as a "divination successor."

But later, this voice gradually disappeared.

Miss Chu had a good relationship with the Li family.

In addition, Miss Chu also had a good relationship with the White Tunic God.

This alone was enough to make those public opinions vanish.

And in the real world, anyone who had seen Chu Ling would feel that it was a very, very good thing for such a stunning woman to inherit Master Chino's mantle.

Her relationship with Gu Shen was also spread as a beautiful story in Changye.

"No."

Gu Shen shook his head.

He didn't want to lie to his grandfather.

Divination might be able to find Han Dang's location... but Chu Ling, as the caster, would definitely have to pay a price. Gu Shen wanted to solve this matter in his own way. He didn't want to ask Chu Ling for help from the beginning.

To take a step back.

Now that Chu Ling had not yet descended, forbidden techniques required a real body to be cast.

"I have my own solution to this matter."

Gu Shen looked at his grandfather and said earnestly, "I'm leaving the tundra for a while, I'll be right back."

The joint intercontinental enforcers entered the encirclement from the Kulong Snow Mountain and the White Whale Mountain Range, respectively.

As expected.

This massive crackdown, in the end, had a "big thunder, small rain" feel to it. The real massacre had already happened internally and was completed.

The Central City and Changye enforcement teams entered the hinterland and found many corpses.

The "fragments of the Heavenly Sheath" on these corpses had all been extracted.

Almost none remained.

This showed that Han Dang was indeed collecting "fragments of the Heavenly Sheath"... In fact, for the intercontinental enforcers, it wasn't bad news, because the only "chosen one" who could be immune to the curse of the Heavenly Sheath and extract the fragments was no longer in the enforcement team.

The scout battalion and enforcement team quickly swept through.

The young transcendents from the Northern and Eastern continents cooperated for the first time on the battlefield of the tundra.

The two continents were about to form an alliance.

The atmosphere of the temporary cooperation team formed for this mission was also quite harmonious.

Above the frozen lake.

Several figures quickly skimmed over at low altitude.

Leading them was a man and a woman.

"Miss Mu, so this is the legendary 'Source Armor'... I've heard about it for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so magical."

The young man wore a cyan Source Armor.

This Source Armor was a gift from the Northern Continent to the Changye enforcement team. Due to its scarcity, only the leading leaders had one.

Mu Qingyang wore a fifth-tier Source Armor, feeling the light gliding sensation.

He marveled, "What's this called? External armor, it can already be used as a sealed item!"

As the Eastern Continent's future partner.

Learning that the Northern Continent could mass-produce Source Armor of this level was truly an exciting good news.

Especially for Mu Qingyang, a "warmonger," he asked, "Excuse my boldness, if this external armor is damaged, can Central City help me repair it?"

"Yes, but there's a fee."

Mu Wanqiu said calmly, "If it's damaged to the point of being unusable, the repair cost is close to a replacement."

Mu Qingyang: "What's the price of a replacement?"

The two flew over the frozen lake.

Mu Wanqiu stretched out a slender fingertip and pressed lightly in front of her mask, "I've sent you the military regulations regarding 'Source Armor Replacement.' The Northern Continent doesn't support idlers. This fifth-tier Source Armor cost a lot to create, it's a gift from Mister Zhuxue to the Eastern Continent... If it's damaged, money can't buy 'replacement' services. Mister Mu, you can join the Northern Continent Investigation Legion, or a fortress, and earn the corresponding merits. As long as you have the ability, you can even exchange for a higher-tier Source Armor."

Because the explosive power of a transcendent in an instant would greatly shake the armor.

So in the Northern Continent, truly powerful transcendents wore Source Armor that was one tier higher than their own strength.

For example: a fourth-tier transcendent wore a fifth-tier Source Armor.

Mu Qingyang had always been troubled by the lack of a corresponding protective sealed item. Seeing the legendary Northern Continent Source Armor, he was very surprised.

"The sixth-tier worn by higher-level titleholders?"

Mu Qingyang smiled, "To be honest, I'm really tempted. If I join the Investigation Legion, can I join Team One and be your teammate?"

"Sorry, I'm afraid you can't."

Mu Wanqiu said frankly, "Although you're very strong, Team One's rule is not to recruit transcentents from other continents. You can go to Team Two. Mister Zhongyuan is a very powerful transcendent. With your strength, it shouldn't take a few years for you to replace 'Yuan Yuan' and become the new vice-captain of Team Two."

The two of them were both "martial arts fanatics."

After entering the hinterland and being assigned to the same group for joint enforcement, the two immediately had a fight.

The result of this duel was astonishing.

Mu Qingyang, a dignified fourth-tier, was actually suppressed by Mu Wanqiu, a third-tier!

Later, he learned that this Northern Continent S-rank was a top-level third-tier who surpassed two realms!

"Only Team Two?"

Mu Qingyang smiled bitterly.

"The vice-captain of Team Two of the Investigation Legion... is already very powerful." Mu Wanqiu said earnestly, "The number of geniuses in the Northern Continent is actually about the same as in the Eastern Continent. Your strength is quite strong wherever you go."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was mindful.

Mu Qingyang knew that he was in the first echelon, but he was actually at the bottom of the first echelon.

The real top of the first echelon had to be an "S-rank" like Mu Wanqiu, or a freak like Bai Xiu, who soared like a rocket.

Of course, there was also one person, Gu Shen.

Mu Qingyang actually knew that Gu Shen's strength was not yet a match for Bai Xiu.

But he didn't know what kind of evil he had fallen under. In his heart, Gu Shen was in a separate category, placed in another classification.

No reason, no cause.

He just felt that Gu Shen should not be compared to any contemporaries of this era.

The frozen lake patrol was about to end soon.

Due to Gu Shen's Disaster Divination, Grandpa Gu Qilin believed that Jing Shanyan's Bi Wang Authority Realm had sunk into the ground.

So every enforcer carried a spiritual induction device.

This device could penetrate the ground and detect spiritual fluctuations at a depth of about 300 meters in real time... In fact, the Changye side did not have high hopes for the device's detection. According to the sinking speed of Jing Shanyan's domain.

This device would basically not produce any results.

"It's estimated that in three days, the first screening of the hinterland will be completed."

Mu Wanqiu asked, "Why haven't I seen Gu Shen since entering the hinterland?"

Mu Qingyang said, "Oh, Brother Gu has temporarily left the base, I heard he went back to Changye."

"Going back to Changye at this time?"

Mu Wanqiu was a little surprised, "Isn't he the core leader of the Changye enforcement team?"

"Yes."

Mu Qingyang said helplessly, "So I'm doing the job of leading the team to search, it was supposed to be him who partnered with you, and now I have to be responsible for two major areas."

The hinterland of the tundra was really big.

The frozen lake area was close to five thousand square kilometers.

One-third of the joint intercontinental enforcers would need three days to complete the first search of the "Frozen Lake Area."

Compared to this huge plate, the place where Jing Shanyan's Bi Wang Authority Realm chose to sink was just a very small point.

Most people did not have high hopes for the "search," but the effort that should be made had to be made.

Everyone was waiting for the Gu family to use "forbidden means" to directly lock down the sinking position of the Bi Wang Authority Realm.

"Clang."

Mu Wanqiu suddenly stretched out a hand and stopped in front of Mu Qingyang.

This action attracted everyone's attention.

The enforcement team members behind the two all looked up, cautiously stopped, and cocked their weapons.

A strong wind blew, and the fog on the frozen lake's surface swayed.

"Beep beep."

The communicators lost contact.

The enforcers' internal spiritual network was cut off.

This situation often meant that an extremely powerful "domain" had enveloped the communicators.

In the fog on the frozen lake's surface, stood a tall and thin shadow. The person was wearing a swaying tattered black linen robe, and in the snow fog behind him, blooming one after another were reverse-rotating lotuses.

The person stretched out a hand and gently beckoned to the enforcement team.
