Chapter 407 Dark Shadows
After hearing the words Yu Sheng said, Xuan Che nodded slowly, his face half solemn and half wooden.

The reason for the wooden look is that half of his face is still numb.

"Dark Angel, this is the only 'common interest' that could possibly connect these two originally unrelated parties," Yu Sheng tried to ignore Xuan Che's half-face numbness and occasional twitching, and made his tone as serious as possible, "The most direct reason why the Chongsheng Hermitage went from lying low in the past few years to now going out to cause trouble is for this."

Xuan Che also nodded: "I have also heard about this from Master. It is said that the evil people believe that they can achieve the "healing" of the universe with the help of the power of the 'Angel Catalyst'. Apart from this thing, there is probably nothing else in the world that can make these self-proclaimed 'saints' condescend to 'cooperate' with other forces."

When the clues were suddenly connected, the train of thought that had been stuck was instantly cleared, and Yu Sheng immediately continued to speak along the lines of Xuan Che's words: "On the other hand, Yun Qingzi disappeared for a thousand years, and the last time he appeared in front of the world before he disappeared was when he was fighting a fierce battle with some unknown powerful enemy near Shuji!"

The two looked at each other at the same time, and from each other's eyes, they saw the same answer.

Even Zheng Zhi, who had been listening obediently, had reacted: "You mean, the one who fought with Yun Qingzi back then... was a dark angel?!"

"It is very possible," Xuan Che said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for such a powerful enemy, how could an ancient mighty being like Yun Qingzi, who had experienced the Age of Reforging, be defeated so easily? After all, someone surveyed the battlefield back then, and even found the remains of bodies whose spirits had been burned out... Under normal circumstances, how could a top-notch might be defeated like that?"

"But he didn't die," Yu Shengze frowned, and then said, "And judging from the current cooperation between the Chongsheng Hermitage and him, he should have not only 'survived' that year..."

Zheng Zhi blinked, then gasped as he realized what was happening: "He has an angel catalyst in his hand!!"

"Is this possible?" Xuan Che's face was half in disbelief. "There are cases of people surviving after encountering the Dark Angel, but not only did they survive a close-range fight, but they were also able to peel off some fragments from it..."

As he spoke, his voice began to waver, and then his eyes fell on Yu Sheng.

"Don't look at me. My case is not a reference." Yu Sheng waved his hand as soon as he saw the other party's eyes. "And I have said many times that Ankaela and I really didn't fight. We were talking therapy. He chose to sleep with full knowledge and willingness..."

"Ahem, I know." Xuan Che coughed twice. "I mean, since we have Mr. Yu as an 'example', it seems that it is not impossible to strip the 'Angel Catalyst' from the Dark Angel. If Yun Qingzi really fought with a Dark Angel a thousand years ago and both were injured... then he is now fully capable of cooperating with the Hermitage and even letting their 'Great Sage' charge for him."

"I just don't know what conditions the Chongsheng Hermitage has offered," Yu Sheng stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Cooperation is about exchanging interests. If Yun Qingzi can provide the Hermitage with 'Angel Catalyst', then what about the Hermitage? What can they give Yun Qingzi?"

The room was silent for two or three seconds, and then Yuan Hao's unhurried voice broke the silence: "For example, solving or suppressing the 'hidden danger' left by the Dark Angel?"

Several eyes fell on Lao Shuaibi at the same time.

"It's easy to think of it," Yuan Hao said calmly. "Judging from the traces found on the battlefield thousands of years ago, the result of Yun Qingzi's battle must have been extremely tragic. It's impossible for him to survive such a fierce battle without paying a price. His absence from the world for thousands of years can also prove this point from the side. And the hermitage has been specializing in the study of dark angels in recent years. I heard that they even have an angel corpse as a 'sample'. I think they have made some achievements in this regard."

"I agree with this guess," Yu Sheng nodded slowly, while quickly reorganizing the intelligence he had obtained at this stage in his mind and sorting out other questions. "Then there is another question - the cooperation between Yun Qingzi and the Chongsheng Hermitage has been roughly figured out, but what about Yun Qingzi's other 'goal'? What is the 'Emperor's Relic' he is looking for? Why is he looking for it?"

"I have no idea about this," Yuan Hao shook his head, "After all, we don't even know what the Emperor's Relic is, let alone what its 'use' is." "...What if it is also to solve the 'hidden danger' left by the Dark Angel?" Xuan Che thought about it carefully, and said with a serious face, "The Hermitage is treacherous and insidious, and its doctrines are extreme. They have never had any morals and integrity towards pagans. It is impossible for someone like Yun Qingzi who has experienced many ups and downs to fail to see this. The cooperation between the two sides is probably not very 'sincere', so Yun Qingzi must still find another way to solve his own problems.

"The Emperor's legacy might be a spell that can create the world, a divine weapon that can cut through time and space, or even a magical weapon that can reverse cause and effect. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worthy of such a name. Yun Qingzi probably wanted to use its power to completely resolve the hidden dangers left over from the battle with the Dark Angel."

Xuan Che's guess actually had no real evidence, but the logic was reasonable. Although Yu Sheng felt that the situation might not be that simple, he did not directly question it. Instead, after thinking for a moment, he reminded him, "So far, all the guesses are based on the premise that Yun Qingzi fought against the Dark Angel thousands of years ago and left behind a major hidden danger. So what we have to consider next is how to confirm this premise."

He paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then continued, "After all, if Yun Qingzi really encountered the Angel of Darkness, then which 'angel' did he encounter? And now that so many years have passed, where is that 'angel' now?"

"Is there such a possibility," Zheng Zhi looked up at Yu Sheng, then at Xuan Che and Yuan Hao Zhenren, and said hesitantly, "that Yun Qingzi won the battle back then? Maybe the Dark Angel has been completely destroyed by him."

As soon as Zheng Zhi finished speaking, Xuan Che and Yuan Hao's eyes fell on him, causing him to shrink his neck subconsciously: "I just mentioned this possibility. After all, I just finished the training not long ago and I haven't been promoted yet... I just thought that Brother Yu has already caused an 'Angel Fall', which means that this Dark Angel is not invincible."

"I understand what you mean, but to be honest, the possibility... is not high." Xuan Che thought for a moment and said seriously, "I won't say much about the strange dangers of the Dark Angel. Judging from the information we have now, once the 'Angel Fall' occurs, it should be impossible to hide it -

"When Ankaela died, a huge amount of energy was released, and a spectacular vision illuminated the sky. A large number of strange relics called 'Ankaela Crystals' were left behind. Although the 'Shadowless Skeleton' in the hands of the Hermitage was already a wreck when it was discovered, there were also a huge amount of 'minerals' distributed around it, and there was also a 'sinkhole' visible to the naked eye from space where it was located. I think its fall was also very grand.

"Based on this reasoning, the death of the Dark Angel is usually accompanied by a large-scale, even heaven-and-earth-changing, phenomenon, and will also leave behind 'remnants' that are obviously abnormal at a glance. However, people did not find anything like this on the battlefield where Yun Qingzi disappeared."

"A thousand years ago..." Yu Sheng frowned and muttered, "A thousand years ago, were there any reports of abnormal natural phenomena, group mental pollution, etc. in this area of ​​Shuji?"

Xuan Che blinked: "You mean..."

"The Secret Service has a large amount of characteristic data and eyewitness information about Dark Angels. Perhaps they can analyze some clues from some vision records in Shuji a thousand years ago and figure out which Dark Angel appeared here at the time, if that was really a Dark Angel," Yu Sheng said seriously, "The movement of a Dark Angel when it dies cannot be hidden, and the movement of its arrival cannot be hidden either - large-scale mental pollution, supernatural phenomena, and even alien loss of control. If there really was a Dark Angel appearing in this area back then, it would definitely be accompanied by these situations."

Xuan Che pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Although this makes sense...but Shuji was still in its early stages of development a thousand years ago. In addition to a few garrisons and garrisons on this planet, there were only some simple outposts on the surrounding satellites and planetary orbits. The place where Yun Qingzi fought an unknown powerful enemy was an uninhabited planet next to Shuji. A thousand years ago, it was a blind spot for surveillance, and I'm afraid there is no useful information left."

"An uninhabited planet near Shuji?" Yu Sheng frowned slightly. "How far is it from here?"

"An ordinary immortal boat can go back and forth in one day," Xuan Che thought for a while, "You want to go there to take a look? But forgive me for being frank... there is definitely no clue if we go there now. That was a thousand years ago. Even if there was some aura left on the battlefield and it had not been discovered, it should have dissipated by now after such a long time. Moreover, if there was really something left there, Yun Qingzi and his followers must have cleaned it up. They would definitely not leave it outside like this."

"We can go over and take a look. It's worth the trip anyway," Yu Sheng said casually. "If this incident is really related to the Dark Angel, we must not miss any possible clues. Gathering intelligence is the most important step when dealing with this kind of mechanical monster."
