Chapter 1 Gu Shen's Deduction

Gu Shen blankly finished watching the side-view image of the small black figure cleanly and swiftly killing five people. The process of this fight was exactly the same as he had predicted.

After all of this ended.

The small black figure did not hesitate, draped in a cloak, walking away into the snowy plains, not looking back.

Gu Shen looked at that thin, small back.

He stretched out a hand, wanting to touch this non-existent phantom.

In the end, his palm passed through.

This was just a side-view.

"Hoo..."

Gu Shen deeply exhaled a breath of stagnation. His originally relaxed mood became heavy after watching this side-view image.

He hadn't seen Xiaoman for five years.

This time returning to the Ice Sea Ruins, he saw such a side-view picture... how could it not make him heavy-hearted?

Gu Xiaoman went south with the Source Tower, but these enforcers wanted to kill Gu Xiaoman!

Gu Shen squatted down, his expression gloomy, and shattered the corpse...

"A ring?"

After doing all this, Gu Shen discovered that in the snow in front of the corpse, there was a wisp of slender, silver light flashing. It was a delicately crafted ring, buried in the snow.

The pictures from the side-view are all evolutions performed by mental-type transcendents based on the information they capture and through mental power.

When Gu Shen picked up this ring and performed side-view again...

He saw a newly supplemented deduction screen.

The small black figure took off the ring, threw it in the snow, and then froze the last corpse.

"Did Gu Xiaoman drop this?"

Gu Shen examined the ring, on which were carved three cloud patterns symbolizing the authority of the sky. This was very likely a divine object bestowed by Qinglong of the Sky Divine Throne.

Gu Shen pondered for a moment, muttering to himself.

"Xiaoman dropped this ring... because the transcendents of the Source Tower are hunting her down through this ring?"

After thinking for a few seconds.

Gu Shen put this "Cloud Ring" on his finger.

...

...

The cloud ship was cruising at low altitude.

In the central control room, a heavy sound of knocking on the table came!

"Damn the Storm Church!"

The more Yun Hu thought about it, the angrier he became.

After the analysis result of this arrow came out, the anger in his chest surged uncontrollably and could not be calmed down.

No wonder he hadn't noticed any traces of the Storm Church along the way...

These beasts were all hiding in the snow mountains!

Were they waiting for the second lucky one to show up?

"No, kill them!" Yun Hu said in a low voice: "We can't let Ju Lu succeed like this, there must be good things in that snow mountain!"

Compared to Yun Hu's rage.

Xuan Gui seemed much calmer: "If we go back now, what if we encounter a second wave of ambush?"

It wasn't that he wasn't angry.

It was just that it was useless to be angry now.

Half of the enforcers were dead or injured... If the Source Tower wanted to continue fighting the Storm Church, it couldn't take head-on measures, not to mention there were three other continents behind them!

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

This kind of thing had happened once during the Sang Continent cave mission.

"Yes... you're right, but I can't swallow this anger."

Yun Hu's anger eased slightly. He circulated his breathing technique, gradually restoring his spirit to a stable state.

This rage was actually related to the second domain he had comprehended.

The second domain he comprehended was called the Raging Tiger. Under the blessing of the domain, his killing power would greatly increase, and in a short period of time, it could almost reach the level of a fourth-order transcender. However, the side effects were also obvious. Before he truly perfectly integrated the two domains, he was often affected by emotions.

Some small things in daily life could easily become the fuse.

The ultimate goal of transcender cultivation was mind cultivation.

This was also the reason why Yun Hu wanted the lost Cloud Ring. The ring could help him quickly calm his mind. In this way, not only would his cultivation speed increase, but he could also avoid the risk of "mental breakdown." He had asked the Divine Throne several times before, but unfortunately Qinglong ultimately bestowed it upon Gu Xiaoman.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to drive the cloud ship back... not for anything else, but just to see what's going on there. If there really are treasures in the snow mountain, those Storm Church believers must be busy." Yun Hu said slowly: "We'll kill them with a surprise attack. If we don't feel good, we can't let the Storm Church have a good time either."

The cloud ship could attack from above.

And it was flexible.

"If it's just to take a look... it's not impossible."

Xuan Gui pondered for a moment, then nodded, and said, "It's just that the Storm Church is already alert. We must be cautious this time when we turn back."

"Deal."

The two Divine Envoys reached a unified opinion, and the cloud ship began to turn around.

The blue flames spewing out from the source energy core gradually converged.

Yun Hu fully expanded his domain. The huge cloud ship ascended in the air, and countless wind and snow enveloped it. After the sound was extinguished, the speed of the cloud ship decreased a lot, but the concealment was also greatly improved.

In this way, the probability of being discovered was greatly reduced.

A moment later.

The cloud ship arrived over the original snow mountain range.

"What's going on here?"

Yun Hu was a little confused.

Looking down from the cloud ship, after the avalanche, the mountain range was eerily quiet. The scene he had imagined did not appear.

His mental power swept out, scanning around, but also returned without success.

"There doesn't seem to be any figure in this snow mountain..." Xuan Gui was also a little confused.

"No, take a closer look."

Yun Hu's expression was solemn.

He manipulated the cloud ship to descend slowly. The two people's mental reach could already see some specific scenes on the snow mountain.

After hearing this, Xuan Gui's expression also became solemn.

An undamaged mountain range should have been flawless white, but upon closer inspection, it could be seen that on the mountain range, clusters of crimson flowers were blooming.

Looking closer.

Those crimson flowers were human blood!

Each flower was a dead person!

"Storm Church robes..."

Xuan Gui's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes also became horrified: "Are these dead transcendents all from the Storm Church?"

The entire mountain range, up and down, had two to three hundred crimson flowers.

How many people did the Storm Church send out to sea this time? Almost all of them had been killed here!

The two Divine Envoys exchanged glances, and a strong ominous premonition emerged in their hearts.

They originally wanted to kill with a surprise attack, but they didn't expect that when they returned to the scene, they would see such a tragic scene—

"Bang!"

The next moment, a slight muffled sound came from the cloud ship.

Before all the enforcers and candidates, a large red figure appeared, wearing bamboo armor and with long hair. This figure fell from the sky, without warning, and directly broke through the cloud ship's protective shield and the layer of Heavenly Cloud Domain shrouded outside by Yun Hu.

His feet seemed to have grown suckers, and he was standing on the red and silver glass at the front of the cloud ship.

Without the slightest hesitation.

After the large red figure landed firmly, it slowly drew out the saber from its waist. A cold light flashed, and it slashed down!

With a "boom"!

The balance of the cloud ship was broken. Everyone on this giant ship was shocked by this sudden blow.

"What the hell is this?"

Yun Hu and Xuan Gui were also shocked, but a word burst into their minds.

Transcendent life!

Transcendent life really existed in the Ice Sea Ruins!

"Attack together!"

The two looked at each other and almost simultaneously rushed forward. Xuan Gui grabbed and hugged the large red bamboo-armored man who was delivering the saber slash, ensuring that the latter could not dodge.

Yun Hu pressed his hands on the chest of the bamboo-armored man and directly unleashed the Raging Tiger domain!

Accompanied by a roar—

The three of them flew out hundreds of meters in an instant!

Those candidates were not idle either. Toze Tsukiyomi, with a gloomy face, made a counterattack at the first moment. She was the fastest to react. As early as the moment the red-armored man unsheathed his sword, she pulled out her hairpin and threw it directly. The hairpin ignored the distance and directly pierced through the void, appearing at the red-armored man's forehead. Due to Xuan Gui's waist-hugging delay, the blow directly hit, but the effect was very poor. It only made the red-armored man's head sway backward. Then the eyes that penetrated from under the snow-white mask stared at Toze Tsukiyomi.

Hiddal also wanted to attack.

But unfortunately, this kind of melee swordsman had no room to play.

For a time, gunfire poured out inside the cloud ship. Under the chaotic mental traction, elemental bullets took various detours, avoiding the two divine envoys, and finally concentrated on the target. However, the bullets hitting the bamboo-armored man made a crackling sound like fried beans.

It was like tickling.

"Leave us alone and fix the cloud ship quickly! We will board the ship before it is completely started!"

Xuan Gui sent the last mental message.

Those candidates decisively gave up the tickling-like counterattack and quickly took the red and silver materials with the enforcers.

The cloud ship fled in the opposite direction without hesitation...

The two divine envoys in the air were stalemated with this unknown large red figure.

"The cloud ship has started. No matter how fast this guy is, it is impossible to compare with a fully started cloud ship..."

Xuan Gui glanced behind him, "Later, we will retreat directly. As long as we get on the ship, we can safely evacuate without fighting this guy."

Yun Hu gently hummed.

He narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Did you see this guy's knife?"

"What?"

Xuan Gui's expression was solemn as he looked at the unsheathed long saber.

There was blood on the knife!

The crimson flowers on the snow mountain must have been killed by this person... This transcendent life nurtured in the Ice Sea Ruins exudes a chilling killing intent all over his body.

Just looking at it can make you feel a sense of oppression.

"There is the blood of the 'Great Deer Saint' on it." Yun Hu sniffed gently.

"The blood of the Great Deer?" Xuan Gui's face was shocked: "This is a saint, a title!"

"Yes... it's a title..."

Yun Hu said in a hoarse voice: "My nose won't smell wrong, it is the blood of the Great Deer Saint. Perhaps the Great Deer Saint... has already died under this guy's knife."

Xuan Gui was stunned.

At this moment, he heard a very light voice in his ear.

"Sorry."

Yun Hu took a step back and pressed a palm on Xuan Gui's back.

He said coldly: "You have always been responsible for guarding the rear... This time, I have to trouble you again."

Countless flowing winds gathered in Yun Hu's palm.

Xuan Gui's pupils contracted, and he looked at his comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side for many years in disbelief.

Boom!

The majestic power burst out under the Raging Tiger domain, and this power was almost irresistible.

Yun Hu pushed Xuan Gui out heavily with a palm.

He did not hesitate, riding the giant tiger condensed from the Heavenly Cloud, and instantly swept towards the gradually accelerating cloud ship.

A roar resounded in the sky.

Yun Hu finally returned successfully before the cloud ship fully broke out. The moment he landed, he roared loudly: "Go forward at full speed! Hurry!"

Those candidates were stunned when they saw only one person come back, but the roar went straight into their hearts, and no one dared to speak.

"..."

Yun Hu stood on the boat and looked back.

In the depths of the clouds, one red and one black collided with each other.

In the end, they both disappeared without a trace.
