How can there be such a strong superpower?

Chen Lusi opened the group chat out of curiosity and took a look.

And just clicked it.

A notification popped up.

[For the details of the Pengcheng incident, please refer to the official announcement. For the time being, please do not discuss the specific participants—Tian Ce and Xia Yue.]

……

Elegant and silly: "Is this true?! Feng Zhen's authority is level one, right? And he's already touched the door frame where the soul is contained, right? And he chopped off his head with a bloody splatter?"

Jin: "It couldn't be more true... I don't know if his teammates helped, but Feng Zhen is indeed dead."

Shanqiu: "The last deceased has just been confirmed. Ruan Dun... the sixteenth-ranked member of the ego with the highest bounty, a first-level authority. His authority ability is known as the strongest defense."

Everyone: "..."

The man with love and a belly: "So, Chen... that hot man, killed three members of the self who were on the wanted list in one fell swoop, right?"

I am a mortal: "Is this kind of human authority in the order of C?"

Changge: "I don't believe it! This is too horrible. How could a blood ooze do this? This doesn't make sense!"

Jiang Ying was confused: "I didn't believe it at first... but there's so much evidence. Oh, and do you know what that guy's signature technique is and what his specific powers are? I'm really curious, how did he do it?"

Feng Qingxue: "I don't know, but I heard he's very handsome!"

It was all a misunderstanding. "In fact, not only that, according to the news from the front line, he scared the 'self' member who was holding Si Yujie back and made them run away. That person also said some strange things, something about his authority being strange and not being able to be recorded..."

Kong: "The authority is strange. It can't be recorded. Does that mean..."

Shanshu Luxia: "Impossible, this situation cannot happen! The Yellow Springs Fragment Scroll cannot be wrong!"

Dong Nuanyang: "Don't bark, Kunlun dog upstairs! You could get anything wrong! How is it impossible?"

Shanshu Luxia: "Is the Tiance dog upstairs barking again? Do you believe me... Oh, it's the Taishan Brigade? That's fine, the Prince Brigade, have some tea. [Offers tea to the boss]"

Qingdeng Yeyou: "I don't believe it! It must be Si Yujie or Xia Yue Tiance who took action!"

Jiu Meng lost his words: "The one upstairs, Xia Yue Tiance was fighting Li Lianghu, and Si Yujie seemed to be in trouble too. The other party even took out Zhong Hong. Do you really think the two of them can free up their hands?"

Listening to the rain: "Excuse me, do you have any photos of Chen... that hot guy?"

Walking Alone: "I heard someone saw it yesterday...but, it looked ordinary."

Light shone through his fingertips: "@All members, if you know me, please contact me. I will reward you handsomely! If you can get him to come out and meet me, I will give you a pocket relic!"

Ruo Bieli: "You guys are just making wild guesses, aren't you? You believe this stuff? Two A-level action teams couldn't handle Feng Zhen, so how could a bleeding little guy kill him? You're just believing everything you hear! Then if I say I'm Qin Shi Huang, will you believe me too?"

Shaking my head and crying, "It's Thursday so soon?"

Gu Qingli: "'I' just released the news that their Saint Son Lu Hao is also dead, killed by a sharp blade through the heart... According to them, the same person was responsible for the Pengcheng incident."

Everyone: "…………"

Suddenly, a person named 'Gu Qingli' sent a new message.

And this message has just been sent out.

The whole group.

Exploded instantly.

Countless ellipsis are constantly refreshing.

Chen Lusi's phone froze briefly.

And when the phone was restored... the chat bar had gone dark.

【Everyone is banned】

Chen Lusi looked down at the group chat where everyone was muted and sighed softly.

No wonder Xia Yue and Si Yujie were so worried.

These colleagues are indeed curious... Even if they can't say the name, they still want to talk about it even if it means calling a man hot.

Not to mention actually facing it, Chen Lusi felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the grand scene in the chat group.

It's like... I'm standing under the spotlight and being roasted.

"……It's fine."

Xia Panqiu turned her head and saw the content on Chen Lusi's phone, and suddenly spoke softly.

Chen Lusi came back to his senses, put away his phone and smiled at her.

……

at the same time.

Xia Yue was flying over the rooftop when the phone in his pocket also vibrated.

He frowned slightly, took out his cell phone and looked at it, then suddenly stopped, jumped off the water tower, and clicked to accept.

The Language Conference logo appears in the center of the screen.

And just connected.

A female voice rang out, "Xia Yue, did you know that my 'self' just declared Lu Hao dead?"

"know."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yue looked around.

Is it too late?

He shook his head and replied directly: "I did it."

The female voice was silent for a moment, then she said softly, "...You should have been in Sanqin during that time."

"I found time to come back." Xia Yue leaned against the wall and replied casually.

"Who are you trying to fool?"

A volatile male voice suddenly rang out, "Was it that new guy who did it? If so, then admit it! And what exactly is his authority and power? Tell us! Don't act like a sissy!"

"Can you speak louder?"

"...I'm just naturally loud! It's not directed at anyone!"

"Ayue, what's going on with that new guy?"

The female voice from the beginning interrupted the irritable male voice and asked again, "Tell us what you think, otherwise we'll be in a passive position... 'I' obviously leaked the news intentionally, and now the group is in chaos."

"Just read the report on this incident later. It will mention it then."

"Ayue..."

"Xia Yue Tiance..."

"Xia Yue!"

"Everyone knows your report is all nonsense! Tell me now!"

"You guys only care about yourselves, don't you?"

Xia Yue listened to the chaotic voices and said impatiently, "Newcomers are not human beings? It's fun to roast others on the fire? If you say one more word, I will go to the headquarters now."

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

"Ayue."

After a while.

Finally, a steady voice sounded: "I understand your concerns... I will suppress the news for the time being, but there are some things we must at least know."

"By all means, take him to Kunlun."

"It just so happens that the strange world is about to open, and that monkey is going crazy again."

Xia Yue heard the familiar voice, listened quietly, and then replied: "Taishan... I can promise you this, but there is one thing you must explain to me."

"..."

There was no response from the other end.

No one else spoke.

Xia Yue continued, "First, why did stowaways appear on that day? I can't figure it out. I've been at sea for the past two weeks and haven't encountered anything. Yet, on the day Pengcheng encountered problems, two stowaways appeared.

And it was as if they were deliberately trying to take me away. The moment my soul mark was triggered, they began to flee, and their direction was exactly the opposite of where Pengcheng was. "

"I could have considered this a coincidence, but when I asked Lao Li to go back, something even more coincidental happened. I happened to see Li Lianghu on the road. It was as if he knew in advance which direction I would go back."

"When I was playing against him, I could clearly feel that he was stalling for time."

"I can still treat this as a coincidence."

"However, Si Yujie is a very specialized person, which many people know. Using Zhong Qi to hold her back is indeed a good idea. However, few people know that she can also block out her humanity and enter a 'thoughtless' state. In this state, even if she doesn't use external magic, she is still one of the top empowerers."

"But what a coincidence! The person holding her back happened to know... and not only that, he also brought over thirty mindless 'vessels' to use as punching bags. From the very beginning, they used defensive spells to stall for time. It lasted an hour, until she couldn't keep her composure anymore."

"There were so many coincidences yesterday, so many that it even makes me wonder if I'm the Tian Ce of the Third Brigade, or if my 'true self' is the Tian Ce of the Third Brigade. After all, they understand the situation better than I do."

"If Chen Lusi hadn't been part of their plan, Xiaoyan would have been kidnapped, and Si Yujie wouldn't be in good condition... I'm guessing she's being chased by thousands of miles right now. This makes me very curious, what exactly are they trying to do?"

"Or more accurately...what do you want me to do?"

"Does a character like Feng Zhen really think he can escape after taking a little girl for an hour? I don't think my 'self' is that naive, so there must be someone to contact me."

"But what does this want to do? Let me completely confront my 'self'? And then reap the benefits? Or..."

So much for the words.

The others became excited.

Some people sighed, some expressed anger, and some even slammed the table.

"A Yue, don't doubt your colleagues."

The Tian Ce named Taishan sighed and interrupted again, "There's no definitive conclusion on this matter. Everything is just your speculation. There's no need to speculate."

"Then tell me, why are there so many coincidences?"

Xia Yue leaned against the wall: "Even Feng Zhen wasn't sent casually. His power and ability naturally counter Xia Panqiu's Yunqi. The 'Hong' that prevented him from getting close was like it was tailor-made for Xia Panqiu.

If Wu You and Xia Panqiu hadn't advanced, especially if the former's Heart Voice Imprint had been enhanced to a certain extent, they probably wouldn't have been able to deal with those minions. After all, even if Wu You's Heart Voice Imprint had been enhanced, Feng Zhen and the others were only distracted for a short while, as if they had been prepared in advance.

"I even suspect now... the Lu Hao incident was just a test, an operation to ascertain the current combat strength of the Third Battalion."

"Looking at the entire incident, the only unexpected person was Chen Lusi."

"He killed Lu Hao, dealt with Feng Zhen, and freed Si Yujie."

"And now he's like a black box. Not many people know how he does it. His authority and ability, his combat power are all a mystery... But don't you think it's a coincidence?"

"After just one night, the news spread among ordinary members, and it also came with an even more explosive news: you also held a voice conference."

"It's like someone can't wait to open that black box, wanting to know what exactly is going on with Chen Lusi, this unexpectedly unstable factor... his authority, his combat prowess, and even his personality."

"I just want to ask, are you in that hurry?"

"Every brigade has its own secret weapon, and the Third Brigade isn't allowed to have secrets... right?"

The last sentence.

Xia Yue's words were calm.

But this time no one made a sound.

The channel fell into deathly silence.

"...I'll check it out carefully."

Taishan was silent for a long time before he said softly, "Including the source of this large-scale discussion and the reasons for a series of coincidences, I can't say for sure I will give you an explanation, but at least I will give you an explanation."
