Chapter 1 Escaped!

The night wind howled.

Gu Shen landed in an alley across the street from Nanwan Building. He retracted the Ruler of Truth, his face slightly pale, a manifestation of consuming a large amount of mental strength. But with the practice of his Jingzhe breathing technique, his spiritual sea became more and more full, and his use of the Ruler of Truth became more and more adept.

This operation should be considered safe, though with some surprises.

The top priority was to contact Chu Ling.

Gu Shen quickly left the alley and walked into a convenience store, buying a pair of earphones and smart glasses.

When he came out, the whole street was bustling. Even across the street, he could hear the noise from the Nanwan Building in the distance. It seemed that the freeze just now had attracted many people to gather.

Gu Shen did not stop and quickly retreated in the direction he came from.

"Now is not the time to celebrate... the situation is not good."

Chu Ling's voice came from the earphones. She mobilized the surveillance cameras in the streets around Nanwan Building and transmitted the images to Gu Shen's glasses. Real-time updated street dynamic maps came into view. In these street dynamic maps, there were blurred white dots, and bold black dots. Most noteworthy were the striking red dots that were specially marked. Several red dots emerged around Gu Shen and spread out at an extremely fast speed, vaguely forming a blockade.

Gu Shen recognized these marks. The white dots were ordinary people, and the black dots were the security personnel of Nanwan Building in this incident.

And the red dots... were transcendents.

"Bad news, the transcendents of Nanwan Building have been dispatched, and they are blocking these streets."

Chu Ling said, "The good news is that Chen Mei is still in the building."

As long as Chen Mei didn't chase after him.

Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief and pressed down his hat. He walked very fast, against the crowd, and entered the alley again... In the real-time updated dynamic map, there were seven transcendents. This number would obviously continue to increase, but the blockade they formed had not yet fully taken shape.

"Hey..."

A guard spotted a suspicious figure.

Everyone was moving towards Nanwan Building, except for this unique individual.

"Tianyuan Street South, Tianyuan Street South, there is a suspicious person."

The guard reported the location to the communicator, and then quickly chased after him. The other party suddenly quickened his pace and directly turned into the alley. He took out a baton and followed closely behind.

In the next moment, a flash of electricity burst out in the alley.

"Zzzzt."

Gu Shen expressionlessly supported the guard who was electrocuted by the baton and slowly fell down, placing him in the darkness of the alley.

He picked up the communicator and coughed lightly.

Recalling the voice of the guard just now.

The soft light of the Ruler of Truth lingered around his throat. Gu Shen pressed the communication switch, his voice became a little rough and hoarse, with a hint of seriousness.

"The suspect left Tianyuan Street South and is heading towards Gaomu Street, middle-aged male, red clothes, tall."

After saying this, he hung up the communicator.

The real-time dynamic map updated, and the black dots that kept appearing began to gather densely towards both sides of Gaomu Street.

"The guards and security personnel have been attracted..."

Chu Ling said in a low voice, "But those transcendents will not be guided by this false information... they should be carrying sealed items and searching for nearby transcendent aura fluctuations."

"Mm..."

Gu Shen was accustomed to planning for the worst.

The red dots had increased to eleven. Walking too fast would expose him, and walking too slowly would lead to a complete blockade... Now there were only two routes left for him.

If it didn't work, he could only try to break through by force.

"Wait... Chen Mei has left the building!"

Chu Ling's voice became very serious, "He seems to have sensed your presence... and is heading directly towards Tianyuan Street."

Gu Shen's pupils shrank.

"How is that possible?"

Once again, an event that Gu Shen couldn't understand occurred.

When he was on the nineteenth floor of Nanwan Building, Chen Mei didn't chase after him, which meant that he had lost his clues.

Chen Mei didn't chase after him the moment he left the building either.

"How did he get my information?"

Gu Shen had a bad feeling. His intuition told him that it was likely related to the "woman" on the nineteenth floor.

"I saw a woman on the nineteenth floor..."

Gu Shen quickly recounted the incident of disconnecting the link. Chu Ling was silent for a while after listening, and then responded.

"Transcendental events often cannot be explained by common sense. The matter on the nineteenth floor of Nanwan Building, with the existing information, cannot be traced back to its source, and can only be attributed to this type that cannot be explained by common sense."

Gu Shen took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "What if my location continues to be exposed?"

"Escape!"

Chu Ling's tone was decisive: "Escape as far as possible, use the fastest transportation, escape to the safest place..."

The fastest transportation.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes, he stared at a marked point on the real-time map.

Coincidentally.

"There is a heavy motorcycle turning right at the exit, which requires electronic information verification to start, but I can help you with that, it will take about five seconds." Chu Ling said, "The only thing to pay attention to is that there is a transcendent not far away, there may be an encounter, I will send you the file –"

"Wu Yan, Deep Sea third level, natural element..."

Gu Shen used three seconds to read the file, then turned and left the alley. He saw a young man not far away, with his back to him, seemingly searching for something.

Sure enough, is he using a transcendent sealed item to sense mental fluctuations?

His own Blazing Fire was extremely good at concealing, so he shouldn't be discovered.

The man's location corresponded to the red dot on the real-time map.

Wu Yan.

Gu Shen looked calm, he sat on the target vehicle heavy motorcycle with incomparable naturalness, pressed his hands on the handlebars, ready to twist the throttle and leave at any time. All the movements were natural and seamless. Anyone who looked at him would think that he was the owner of this motorcycle.

Only five seconds were needed.

Once the electronic verification information was completed, he could start and leave.

All of this was impeccable and perfect—

If the owner of this motorcycle wasn't Wu Yan.

The man who was searching not far away frowned. He caught a glimpse of a guy leaving the alley from the corner of his eye. In just a moment, the guy got on his motorcycle, and the headlights even flickered.

"What the..."

Wu Yan was stunned, his brain short-circuited for a moment.

How could there be such a bold and reckless person, and how did this guy... bypass his electronic information verification?

Wait a minute, at this juncture, how could someone appear in this place?

"Stop right there!"

Wu Yan roared.

At the moment he spoke, white flames were already wrapped around his hands, and he ran towards the direction of the headlights.

"Vroom vroom vroom!"

He was discovered.

But... why does this guy look so ferocious? What outrageous thing did he do?

Gu Shen frowned slightly, a little puzzled, but at this moment the electronic verification information had been lifted.

He took a deep breath, twisted the handlebar to the end, and the heavy motorcycle roared out into the night. This feeling was not unfamiliar. Last time, Crow's motorcycle was even fiercer, more ferocious, and more imposing than this one.

Man and machine, roaring and crushing towards the other party!
