Ark Undead

Page 458

The fact that the Undying Man returned to the Great Yan at this time, and was still kept in Shang Shu by that Emperor, must mean that he wanted to use the Undying Man to do something.

Moreover, this is exactly the kind of thing that the immortals are most interested in.

Snapped.

The Undead broke off a piece of firewood and threw it into the campfire in front of him.

He clapped his hands.

"Rest first. Tomorrow, I'll take you to see someone."

"Oh?"

Onstan suddenly became interested.

"You actually managed to find something out of your search today?"

"It was he who helped to find out how to revitalize humanity."

Speaking of Greyhound, even the Undead feels quite lucky, as Greyhound has found him a lot of information.

Whether it's the mythical creature, the military's reaction, or the revitalization of humanity.

At least Greyhound kept him from being completely confused in Da Yan.

"I'm really looking forward to tomorrow."

Onstan nodded.

The Undead paused, unsure how to tell Onstan.

Greyhound was nothing special, and might even be quite different from the Rhodes Island members he remembered.

The weather wasn't great the second day, but at least the sun shone for a while in the early morning.

The Undead had originally planned to take Onstan to find Greyhound early in the morning.

But unexpectedly, someone disrupted his plans.

"I am sorry to have come to pay you a visit. Is this too presumptuous?"

The Undead opened the door and found that the person knocking was not Yan Di, but Lord Liang Xun, dressed in official robes and staring at him with dark circles under his eyes.

Liang Xun kept his eyes fixed on the ground, and he wouldn't look up without the permission of the immortals.

"You've come here, is there something you need?"

After yesterday's analysis with Greyhound, it's unlikely that the Undead would have a bad impression of Liang Xun.

Ultimately, although Liang Xun was a high-ranking local official, he was still not qualified in the eyes of the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

According to Greyhound, every Celestial Master officially registered in the Great Yan Dynasty is at least a third-rank official. A Celestial Master who can set up talismanic restrictions is at least of the same level as Lord Liang Xun in front of them.

Ultimately, Liang Xun was just doing his job. He deliberately posed riddles to confuse the immortals, which was also due to his own difficulties.

Hearing that the Undead's words weren't as cold as he'd imagined, Liang Xun couldn't help but look up.

The Undead has changed back into his original armor, not the black work clothes Yan Di wore when he reported last night.

He didn't get to see the other look of the Undead. Even though Liang Xun's face remained calm, he was still slightly disappointed.

"It's nothing. It's just that since the Divine General is willing to stay in Shangshu, I have to perform my duties. I hope the Divine General will understand."

After gathering his thoughts, Yan Di bowed to the Undead again and said respectfully.

“My lord, there was some unrest in the city last night. But it was quickly suppressed. The weather is nice today, perfect for a stroll. However, the flood season is approaching, and the riverbank may not be safe. I hope you will stay away from Wangjingmen Port.”

Liang Xun's words sounded like he was giving a work report to the Undead early in the morning, and to others they seemed to have no meaning.

But to the immortals, it's not like that.

Liang Xun and Yan Di's cooperation in the Undead's operation, as well as Liang Xun's seemingly slip of the tongue last night, have actually let the Undead know that the Liang Xun in front of them is not just spouting official jargon, but is subtly conveying information to them through this rhetoric, facilitating information exchange.

The immortals, upon hearing that the flood season was approaching, knew that Liang Xun was talking nonsense and covering up the real information.

With the year-end approaching, where would there be a flood season? Isn't the flood season always from May to...?

The immortal was stunned for a moment.

How could he know this knowledge?

Liang Xun didn't stop and continued speaking.

"Recently, there have been rumors that a great treasure is about to be unearthed in Shang Shu. But these are just some controllable special circumstances. On the contrary, a large number of talented people have gathered and are living near Tingfeng Bridge. If you, General, would like to go and see what's going on, you can head towards Tingfeng Bridge."

After saying this, Liang Xun stood still, waiting for the Undead to respond.

After listening to Liang Xun's words, the Undead remained silent for a while before speaking.

"I went to Wangjingmen yesterday and it was nice. I don't need to go again today and join the crowd."

Upon hearing this, Liang Xun immediately clasped his hands together and hid them inside his robe.

The Undying Man ignored Liang Xun's reaction and continued to ask questions.

"The Great Yan Kingdom is vast and rich in resources. Where can one find rare and exotic animals?"

Liang Xun's body trembled, and he lowered his head slightly, responding in a low voice.

"In the exotic beast garden west of Shangshu, you can indeed see animals like the Iron-Eating Beast, which are considered bizarre by ordinary people. But if you, Divine General, are looking for more than just such rare treasures, you may seek out the Fate Method at the Red Dust Guest."

Upon hearing the name "Red Dust Guest," the Undead showed a hint of surprise.

Greyhound had mentioned this place to him yesterday, but he didn't expect that Liang Xun would also mention it in the clues he gave today.

The Undead turned around and exchanged a glance with Onstan.

Onstan nodded to the Undead, who then turned back and said...

"Make arrangements, we're going to Rhodes Island, to the office."

"Yes."

Liang Xun responded immediately.

Before long, Yan Di and Liang Xun arranged a large carriage for the Undead, large enough to carry both the Undead and Onstan.

This large vehicle looks just like those tour buses you see outside. It's neither luxurious nor dilapidated; it's ordinary and won't attract attention.

After that, Liang Xu didn't say anything more to the Undying Man. He simply watched the two of them get into the car and then stood at the hotel entrance, waiting for the Undying Man's vehicle to drive out of his sight.

Yan Di only breathed a sigh of relief after the car had completely disappeared.

"My lord... is the Divine General truly real?"

"He admitted it."

Once the immortal left, Liang Xun became calm again, glancing at Yan Di beside him.

"The demon seed from yesterday was dealt with by the God General. Now that he's going to the Rhodes Island office, it's probably related to that matter."

Yan Di pondered for a moment, then asked.

"what do you mean?"

A smile appeared on Liang Xun's face.

"Yesterday, the Divine General melted down the Old Celestial Master's talisman restrictions, destroyed the demon seeds, and resolved all the demons that the Celestial Master had sealed in the underground waterways."

"This shows that the Divine General has found the right path, and I don't need to say too much explicitly. The Divine General knows what kind of role I am."

"His Majesty's desire for the Divine General to stay in Shangshu for a few days may not be without reason. Even if His Majesty doesn't say it outright, as his subject, I must try to alleviate His Majesty's concerns..."

Currently, no one is allowed to take sides in the capital, and Liang Xun himself has no intention of taking sides.

He just felt that it was better to listen to the people from the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites arguing for ages than to listen to them.

It would be better to follow His Majesty's lead and find out the attitude of the Undead.

"The traces of those divine beast fragments moving around the world are already quite obvious. The Divine General will definitely encounter them. At that time, it will be up to the Divine General to make a decision. There is no need for me to take sides."

Liang Xun flicked his sleeves twice, his tone quite relaxed.

At least, the pressure has been relieved of Liang Xun's burden.

The next step is to see how radical those guys who constantly promote conspiracy theories become.

"That's the Divine General! His actions must have a deeper meaning."

281. Greyhound goes missing

The weather wasn't great, but for the immortals, days without sunshine were something they were used to.

However, it is quite obvious that far fewer people in Da Yan are willing to go out and about.

I don't know if it's because of the weather or because it's close to the Lunar New Year and people are staying home.

The Undead and Ornstein paused for a few seconds in front of the Rhodes Island office. The Undead slowly walked into the office through the open door and then froze.

Onstan didn't go into the house. He looked at the old house and worried that if he just went in and bumped into it or leaned against it, he would break it.

But then the Undead came to the door and spoke to Onstan outside.

"The person has disappeared."

Onstan saw the scratches on the floor by the door and nodded.

“I see it. There are obvious signs of a struggle here, and there are two different smells.”

The Undead looked at Onstan.

"You smelled it too?"

"Of course I can, the difference between my aura and that of an ordinary person is just too great... why do I have this slightly disgusting feeling?"

"A little, you're not mistaken."

The Undead crouched down and wiped away the dust from the footprints on the ground.

The armor scraped against the stone floor tiles. But some clues were also left on the broken tiles.

There were some leftover, vomited food scraps on the ground. The Undead looked at these food remnants without feeling disgusted at all, and instead stirred them with their hands.

"You look kind of familiar."

Although a large portion consisted of undigested flour-based foods, there was still some meat-like material. The man remembered that Greyhound had bought some barbecue to eat before going to the port with him yesterday.
