When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 353 Theologians

"I changed my mind."

Inside the open room, Ekaterina crossed her legs, ignoring the occasional tremors, and a sly look suddenly appeared on her face.

“Now, agree to one condition, and I can save your life,” Ekaterina said.

"Hmm?" Bai Ze's expression shifted slightly. "It seems that a new variable has emerged."

He and Ekaterina were discussing how to find the person who broke the rules, and they were almost at an agreement when Ekaterina suddenly changed her mind.

Is it because of the Izumo Wasteland outside?

wrong.

“It’s the train’s announcement,” Bai Ze said.

“That’s right,” Ekaterina said calmly. “Now, the train conductor will use the power of the God of Commerce to get the train out of the Izumo Wasteland as quickly as possible, and is no longer able to protect the passengers.”

In other words, shouting "Evil God, save me!" is useless now.

But even in such times, there are people on the train who are not oppressed.

Although the martial artist's strength is not reduced much when true qi and mental power circulate within the body, the fact that there is no suppression while there is suppression gives them a huge advantage. They can also freely circulate true qi and use mental power to interfere with reality.

What's more important is——

"You mean, he wanted to kill me?"

Bai Ze remained calm and looked at Ekaterina.

“Don’t underestimate Ursus’ intelligence network,” Ekaterina said calmly.

Bai Ze never expected that he, who always prided himself on being an expert in intelligence warfare, would one day have his intelligence exposed by someone else.

However, when it comes to intelligence networks... the Ursus Federation's intelligence system is indeed quite formidable.

"What are the conditions?" Bai Ze asked.

"It's very simple. Just tell me everything you know about the author, and—"

As Ekaterina finished speaking, a strange look suddenly appeared on her face, and at the same time, Bai Ze found himself experiencing that fluttering feeling again.

"Tell me how you breached my barrier of faith and attacked my consciousness."

At this moment, Bai Ze was certain that the "Infinite Love" that he had used to invade Ekaterina's consciousness still had some remnants, which Ekaterina had forcibly preserved.

'She can even forcibly preserve the remnants of emotions; her divine hand is just too overpowered...'

At this critical juncture, Bai Ze's first thought was actually about the strength of the Hand of God.

However, the thought that his words had become law made him feel relieved.

I'm a supermodel too, so there's no problem.

Only then did Bai Ze realize how magnanimous Ekaterina was, daring to preserve even such emotions.

Thinking of this, Bai Ze thought of taking the opportunity to fool this "daughter of Ursus", but just then, the top of the train suddenly opened.

With a heavy thud, the top of the carriage opened to both sides, followed by two more layers of roof opening, revealing a deep blue sky and the marks that seemed to have cleaved the sky in two.

A gust of wind, carrying vital energy, surged into the carriage.

In that instant, Bai Ze's figure flickered and disappeared into the guest room.

At the same time, the spiraling flames pierced through the carriage wall and blasted into Catherine's room.

"One of the train regulations is that the train operator must do its utmost to ensure the personal safety of passengers."

On the roof of the carriage, Bai Ze's figure suddenly appeared. Feeling the long-lost resonance of vital energy, he slowly said, "Even if the God of Commerce cannot protect the passengers now, when a deadly threat comes, the train still has methods at its disposal, such as letting the passengers off the train." He looked ahead, where Ekaterina and the nun were standing at the other end of the carriage. "So, I'm not in a hurry."

This is one of the things we rely on.

There is another reliance—

The Yin and Yang energies flew past Bai Ze from his left and right sides respectively, intersecting in front of him and splitting the surging flames in two.

Luo Shui's figure quietly appeared behind Bai Ze. Her petite frame was now as imposing as a deep pool and a towering mountain, exuding a powerful presence.

She gently waved her hand, drawing back the Yin and Yang energies, and stood in front of Bai Ze.

"Mu Yaoguang".

The fiery aura suddenly subsided, and Li Mingqi slowly rose from inside the carriage, his aura surging like a vast ocean.

"I knew I was right, Bai Ze brought you into the car."

At this moment, the Martial Arts Association's executive officer remained unsmiling, but unlike his previous solemnity, he now displayed indifference and murderous intent, his target being Bai Ze and "Luo Shui".

"I guessed wrong; I didn't realize you weren't Li Mingqi."

"Luoshui" spoke softly, her petite figure seemingly disintegrating into countless particles in an instant, reassembling into a tall and beautiful figure, which was none other than Mu Yaoguang herself.

Her words sent a chill down Bai Ze's spine.

Mu Yaoguang also cultivated the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand," and her perception was actually above Bai Ze's.

For her to misjudge the situation, the opponent's strength must be at least nine stars.

Mu Yaoguang looked at Li Mingqi, her eyes sparkling as she tried to see through his disguise. At the same time, she tentatively said, "Your determination to kill Bai Ze is so strong, that you're even willing to target the Wanyi Train. It seems we know each other."

"That's not necessarily true. My main objective is still to target the spatial rift."

Li Mingqi stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air. He showed no surprise at Mu Yaoguang's probing words, and simply said, "If the train were to collide with the spatial rift, it would offend the God of Commerce and Douglas too much. So my goal is simply to destabilize the spatial rift."

As he spoke, the sky seemed to respond to him, constantly fluctuating. The crack, like a living thing, opened and closed slightly, expanding and contracting, drawing in the train and being pulled by it.

The spatial rift pulls the train in. The train tries to escape this gravity and move away at full speed, but in doing so, it also pulls on the spatial rift, making it unstable.

Forces act in pairs; it's a simple mechanical principle.

If Li Mingqi's goal was merely to disrupt the spatial rift, he had already achieved his objective.

From this perspective, he was indeed not lying.

However, this does not mean that he does not know Bai Ze or has no grudge against Bai Ze.

"How should I address you, Your Excellency, the God-like One? Or is there another name?" Bai Ze asked.

“You’re quite perceptive, noticing my identity and even knowing my account on Wanyi Zhiji,” Li Mingqi chuckled, “You can call me a ‘theologian,’ as one of the shareholders of Wanyi Zhiji.”

As he said this, he glanced at Ekaterina and the nun on the other side, clearly believing that Bai Ze had hooked up with Ursus and that's how he learned about their five accounts.

This also means that the true identity of the military strategist has already been known to others.

Military strategists openly provide various conveniences to the Ursus Federation, so if Bai Ze could find out their identities, it's natural that others could as well.

Clearly, theologians believe that Bai Ze knew about the five people's accounts because of the help of military strategists.

So here's the question: why did the theologian seem so confident in Bai Ze, given that he had fought against Mu Yaoguang, who had fought against Jiu Xing, and the nun beside Ekaterina?

The sharp wind brought the answer.
