Chapter 127 Search
The door opened, and You Shan came out. Chong Jingtian, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately came over and asked, "What's going on?"
“It’s no different from what he said.” You Shan rubbed her temples. “This little guy is innocent.”
Jiang Shumo, standing beside him, was not surprised. "That's how it should be. He's just a discoverer."
With no results, Chong Jingtian was somewhat disappointed, but then asked, "What about those core seeds?"
“There are no problems,” You Shan said. “When they took office, I sensed their spiritual entities to some extent, and I had the most contact with Su Chen.”
This was said to Jiang Shumo, and he nodded.
"What's going on?" You Shan had already sensed the numerous life magnetic fields moving around outside.
Chong Jingtian said in a deep voice, "Send people to investigate. Shu Mo is planning to use Wei Yu Fan and his group as bait."
“He…” You Shan’s expression changed slightly as she looked at Jiang Shumo, “You’ve taken too much of a risk!”
The word "they" must include her student, Minglin.
"This is the simplest and most direct method, but it depends a bit on luck," Jiang Shumo said calmly. Just then, his bracelet vibrated slightly. He opened it, his eyes narrowed, and his voice betrayed no emotion.
"Su Chen led his men out first, and Wei Yu Fan... made sure no one disturbed him."
"No sense of responsibility!" Chong Jingtian sneered. "Give him a death order to leave!"
.........
In the following days, the court took significant action, investigating each of Chu Xuan's actions one by one.
Meng Qi is now a core seed, and since he has had very little public interaction with Chu Xuan after the battle, almost no one suspects him. He is still leading people to investigate traces of the Ghost God Cult in Yingfeng.
There is no airtight wall in the world.
A week later, news of Chu Xuan's death finally broke, causing a huge uproar.
In an instant, turmoil broke out in all departments, and a core seed died within Yingfeng and within the court, something that had almost never happened before.
Meanwhile, the court's actions became increasingly ostentatious, with several dispatched teams moving between various locations in Yingfeng.
“Here…” Su Chen hid in the shadows at the street corner, looking at the six-story building not far away.
Night was falling, and the exterior lights came on. A huge, humanoid virtual projection was dancing wildly, bathed in golden light. "Are you sure there's a problem?"
Yang Yan, standing beside him, hesitated for a moment. "There are indeed a few clues pointing here, but none of them are very accurate, and I'm not sure either."
Su Chen glanced at him, somewhat speechless, and could only say in a deep voice, "Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. Call in people and seal off the surrounding area."
Yang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but say, "Should we investigate again? This place is not simple..."
"What do you mean by simple or not simple? Transfer people!" Su Chen's voice was cold. Others' suspicions were just suspicions, but his suspicions were evidence.
This area was the one he sensed reacted most strongly; if there was anything controlling divine blood, it was most likely located here.
The rest of the area had been thoroughly investigated, leaving only this largest building. They had planned to use a reasonable excuse to transfer personnel, but Yang Yan chickened out at the last minute.
Seeing his insistence, Wu Yang quickly issued a transfer order, and the judges scattered in various places rushed over.
A few hours later, the place was completely surrounded.
"Go, hurry up..." As soon as a hovercar landed at the door, it saw a group of judges who looked like guardian deities. The person in the back seat changed his expression and hurriedly urged them on, but was forcibly stopped.
"Judge Zhang Yunqing, Level 3, please get out of the car." Zhang Yunqing's pretty face was indifferent as she showed her identification.
“Between Clouds and Seas, what a great name…” Su Chen stood at the entrance, looked up at the sign, and the security guards on both sides trembled.
Yang Yan led the way, and the judges filed in. After a brief period of chaos, the situation was brought under control.
Everyone had been gathered in the hall, many of them disheveled and looking away.
Others, looking angry, shouted sternly, "You...do you know who I am?!"
“City Patrol Department… Level 4 City Patrol Guard – Zhou Han.” Yang Yan, standing beside him, pressed down on him with a cold expression. “Do you know who we are?”
"What...what exactly does your court want to do?" Zhou Han saw that the other party didn't care about recognizing his identity, so he knew that this was no small matter. His words were already somewhat blustering but he was actually weak.
Suddenly, Yang Yan stood up straight and looked towards the entrance, and the other judges did the same.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a young man walked in, surrounded by judges.
“It’s him… Su Chen.” Zhou Han recognized him and couldn’t help but shrink back. This was Xia Hanshi’s student, a core member of the court, and held a highly respected position.
"Lord Su Chen, it's you..."
Among the detained crowd, someone suddenly shouted, a smile plastered on his face. He tried to stand up, but Yang Yan pressed him back down.
“This is the manager, Zhou Jun…” Zhou Yunqing whispered to Su Chen.
"We're on the same side! We're on the same side!" Zhou Jun shouted.
Su Chen waved for him to come over, and Zhou Jun jogged over, fawningly saying, "Your Excellency Su Chen, I am from the Zhou family. I have a good relationship with Wei Yufan, Zhong Ming, and Ming Lin. My third uncle even had dinner with you a couple of days ago. We're all family."
"Your third uncle? Zhou Kai?" Su Chen suddenly laughed. "Does he know you?"
“Uh…” Zhou Jun smiled awkwardly, “We’re relatives, of course we know each other.”
He changed the subject, emphasizing, "We have always strictly adhered to Ying Feng's laws..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Yan handed over a packet of black granules. "Ghost Lotus Granules, a Class III prohibited substance..."
"Uh... these were brought in by a guest, it has nothing to do with us," Zhou Jun hurriedly explained, lowering his voice, "Besides, confiscating contraband should be the responsibility of the inspection department, right?"
"It's everyone's responsibility at Yingfeng!" Yang Yan rebuked in a deep voice. If they couldn't find anything, they would still have to rely on these contraband items to cover up the connections behind this place.
“Yes, yes…” Zhou Jun nodded hurriedly, standing to the side without daring to move.
The judges who remained here to guard the detainees were only a small number; the majority had already gone deep into various places to investigate carefully.
The judges acted quickly, and soon they had a general conclusion.
"You didn't find anything?" Yang Yan pressed, "No secret room or anything like that?"
"We can only get this far with our rough investigation, but we haven't found any further clues." Another judge smiled wryly. "We've also used mental detection, but we haven't found anything like a secret room."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Su Chen, only to see him looking around before swaying as he went upstairs. "I'll go take a look. You all wait here."
"and many more…"
Wu Yang frowned and was about to follow.
But as soon as he turned the corner of the stairwell, his face paled in shock. Where was he? The corridor in front of him was completely empty; there was no sign of Su Chen.
"Old Wu, didn't I tell you to wait downstairs?" A voice suddenly came from behind. Wu Yang's heart skipped a beat. He turned around abruptly and saw Su Chen standing right behind him, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
“I’m worried about you…” Wu Yang responded subconsciously. “It’s okay, you have to keep an eye on those people down there. I did it on purpose,” Su Chen said vaguely, trying to deceive him.
Wu Yang swallowed hard and went downstairs in a daze.
"If I don't scare him, he won't listen to me." Su Chen shook his head inwardly. Just now, the [Spatial Concealment] had already startled Wu Yang quite a bit.
"It's perfect for ambushes, but we can only wait for others to arrive; we can't take the initiative..." Su Chen muttered to himself as he ventured deeper into the area.
After finding an empty room and carefully checking it, his body gradually disappeared into the spatial interlayer, where he could be perfectly safe as a "Black Tuo believer."
"Hmm..." The pitch-black pupils looked incredibly sinister. Su Chen carefully sensed the subtle attraction. "It's definitely here, very, very close, but where exactly is it..."
He went to several different places before he could make a slight guess.
"...The court has no law enforcement authority in the city..."
"...Special approval from the Council of Elders..."
"...What do you want to do..."
Just then, a noisy commotion arose below. Su Chen raised an eyebrow and quickly went downstairs.
In the lobby on the first floor, two groups of people were facing off. The newcomers were the Surveillance Guard, and there were quite a few of them.
The leader was arguing face-to-face with Wu Yang, their faces flushed.
“This place is really complicated…” Su Chen walked downstairs, immediately attracting the attention of both sides.
“It’s you…” The leader of the surveillance guards’ expression changed slightly, clearly knowing who Su Chen was.
“Zhu Peng, one of the deputy directors of the Supervision Department’s Action Division, a third-tier professional…” Yang Yan quickly stepped forward and introduced him in a low voice.
“Lord Su Chen, even with special permission from the Council of Elders, your court cannot act with impunity in Yingfeng. Searching for contraband should be our responsibility.” Zhu Peng’s tone softened somewhat, but he still had to argue his case.
"So, if there are no other discoveries, please call it a day."
Zhou Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang Yan whispered, "If this gets out of hand, it'll be hard to handle."
Su Chen glanced at Zhu Peng, casually swiped his bracelet, found a contact, and after answering, he said calmly, "People from the Supervision Department are stopping me."
The response was very faint, almost inaudible to anyone. Su Chen then took off the bracelet and tossed it to Zhu Peng.
Zhu Peng hesitated for a moment before taking it, then walked to the side and whispered, "I am Zhu Peng."
"This is Cheng Lang, back to the party."
A cold voice came from the bracelet, and Zhu Peng's expression changed. Cheng Lang? The Vice Minister?
“But this place…” He instinctively wanted to say something, but found that the other party had already ended the call.
The voice did indeed sound a lot like Cheng Lang's. Zhu Peng's expression changed, and he looked at Su Chen again.
He walked back, handed the bracelet to Su Chen, and turned around with a grim expression. "Fall back, retreat!"
The many guards were all stunned. Zhou Jun's face turned pale, and Yang Yan looked astonished.
"Can't you understand what I'm saying? Let's go!" Zhu Peng shouted angrily, and the numerous guards had no choice but to follow.
Watching the guards leave, Yang Yan asked hesitantly, "Shall we leave too?"
"Leave?" Su Chen shook his head. "Clear the hall and take them out."
Yang Yan was puzzled, but he still carried out his orders and quickly escorted the people outside and cleared the hall.
"Old Wu, this is troublesome. Smash the central area for me." Su Chen looked at Wu Yang.
"Underground?" Wu Yang asked in surprise, then looked thoughtful before leaping forward.
boom!
Blazing flames erupted from Wu Yang's body, causing his skin to crack inch by inch, and the cracks quickly spread all over his body.
Golden-red liquid flames flowed within, radiating a molten lava-like heat. The rising heat waves distorted the surrounding air, and the surging crimson flames gathered overhead into a vortex-shaped cloud of fire.
The temperature in the hall began to rise sharply, and Zhou Jun, standing nearby, pleaded repeatedly, "Please, have mercy, have mercy..."
Zhou Jun was pulled away, and Su Chen looked up, sighing, "At this level, even a lower-level profession is quite remarkable..."
The crowd stepped back, and the fiery clouds, which had been boiling, gradually receded, coalescing into a giant fist of magma that slammed into the floor of the hall with the power to incinerate everything.
boom!
The gravel and dust instantly vaporized in the high temperature, and the rising white mist intertwined with the crimson flames.
Rumble!
A continuous roar came from the smoke and dust, and a judge reached out his hand, and the smoke and dust dissipated in the howling wind.
The ground had collapsed under the violent impact, and the surface stone slabs had been melted into a dark red liquid by the high temperature.
However, even with Wu Yang's all-out attack, only a few cracks appeared, which proved that something was wrong.
"It's so hard, is there something down there?" Yang Yan's eyes gleamed as he quickly stepped forward, stood at the edge of the crevice, and looked down. It was pitch black and deep, and all the judges were on high alert.
“This…this…how could this be…” Zhou Jun’s face was full of horror.
Yang Yan casually conjured a ball of blazing white light and threw it down through the crack. The judges gathered around held their breath, and even Wu Yang couldn't help but look down.
But at that moment, a cold light flashed and attacked from behind Su Chen.
"Watch out!" Wu Yang suddenly looked up, and then his eyelids twitched.
Suddenly, three figures emerged from the crowd of people being held captive outside the hall and attacked Su Chen simultaneously.
At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the central cave, making it the perfect opportunity for a sneak attack!
But then, a flash of lightning appeared, and crimson arcs of electricity shot out. The figure that had attacked from behind was sent flying backward at an even faster speed, spitting out blood.
The man who attacked from the side and behind stabbed Su Chen in the back of the heart with his dagger, but it made a loud, sharp impact. Su Chen slammed the dagger into Su Chen's spine with his other hand, the sound of bones cracking louder than his screams, and Su Chen slammed him hard into the ground!
The last person was even more bizarre; he fell straight down at Su Chen's feet, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, without moving at all.
"So powerful?" Wu Yang's eyelids twitched.
Yang Yan and the others then noticed the commotion behind them and rushed toward the figure that had been sent flying backward. They were quickly pulled back, their faces as if they had seen a ghost.
“They were all third-tier professionals. One had his bones completely shattered, another was crushed to death on the spot, and the third was still breathing.” Yang Yan was still somewhat incredulous after examining the situation.
These three guys were beaten so badly by Su Chen in a single exchange. Is this the legendary power of a dual-class master?
Too weak... Su Chen shook his head. None of these three were weaker than Zhou Xian back then, or even stronger than Zhou Xian, but none of them were a match for him.
But his gaze fell on the crack in the ground, and his expression became serious.
