Boom!

As the green iron whip collided with the electric light, the compressed wind elements suddenly spewed forth, and a surge of wild wind, like razor-sharp blades, instantly sliced the person standing next to Zhou Xian into several pieces.

But Su Chen was, after all, only a Tier 2 professional. The blazing electric light then spread, hitting Su Chen hard, as if he had been directly hit by a truck. The immense force immediately sent him flying backward.

However, Zhou Xian’s face suddenly changed dramatically. The guy who had taken a direct hit from him didn’t fall to the ground but instead used the recoil force, like a falling leaf, to dart far away.

In the blink of an eye, he had vanished without a trace.

Did the person run away!?

………

“Even a small operation has been leaked. It seems a purge is indeed necessary.”

In the council hall, Xia Hanshi’s slender figure sat at the head of the table. Zhang Hongbo was on his right, and Yang Yan and others were on his left.

Hearing this, Zhang Hongbo’s forehead broke out in cold sweat as he explained, “The news only leaked at the last moment of the operation. It’s not necessarily an internal problem.”

“Even if there’s an internal spy, they’re just a small fry. We’ll find them quickly.”

Yang Yan interjected to ease the tension, “At least it was a hideout. Southwind City’s efforts during this period weren’t in vain.”

“A few small fries, killing more of them is useless. If we don’t get to the root of the problem, it will resurface sooner or later,” Xia Hanshi said with displeasure, but without being overbearing.

Yang Yan covertly glanced at Zhang Hongbo. According to Old Xia’s habit, he had probably already visited Southwind City by now.

Zhang Hongbo either genuinely had a compassionate heart or simply acted according to Ying Feng’s orders, but the standard of living for the vagrants in Southwind City was quite good.

The City Lord of Southwind City might not even know that those vagrants had already helped him immensely.

He remembered last time, in another city, the City Lord didn’t even care about the vagrants.

Not long after Old Xia arrived, he found some excuse and broke the City Lord’s legs.

“How is Yuan Chenyang as a person?” Xia Hanshi suddenly asked.

Zhang Hongbo was somewhat surprised. After a moment of thought, he honestly replied, “Although a bit reckless, he is diligent and conscientious.”

“Reckless?” A flicker of light crossed Xia Hanshi’s eyes. “If that’s the case, how could he have thought of having his student go undercover?”

Zhang Hong was puzzled and explained, “He’s just a bit reckless in personality, but he’s quite resourceful.”

He was also skeptical about this matter, but he couldn’t undermine Yuan Chenyang.

Where did that top-tier profession come from? Xia Hanshi felt annoyed. These guys were so secretive with their words; he truly wanted to rip their heads off.

“How’s his student?” Xia Hanshi asked nonchalantly.

Zhang Hongbo paused, as if remembering something, and said calmly, “You mean Su Chen? He’s very good, with a Brilliant Silver physique, but he’s quite young and will only go to Ying Feng next year.”

Su Chen? He seemed to be one of those who borrowed “Scholar.”

Xia Hanshi smiled inscrutably, “Yuan Chenyang didn’t win you over?”

“You’re wise, sir,” Zhang Hongbo said with a bitter smile.

Xia Hanshi didn’t seem to care, while Yang Yan, next to him, lowered his head and sighed inwardly.

None of these city lords were easy to deal with. Zhang Hongbo had concealed a crucial piece of information: Su Chen’s vagrant status.

Old Xia himself was a vagrant; if he knew Su Chen’s identity and felt inclined to promote him, it might jeopardize Zhang Hengyu’s chance to go to Ying Feng.

Even if Zhang Hongbo didn’t fully understand Old Xia, he instinctively and keenly avoided this point.

Perhaps Old Xia wouldn’t even think that Yuan Chenyang would also take a vagrant as his student.

As for whether he should mention this point, Yang Yan thought about it. Since they were both Brilliant Silver level, it didn’t matter to him who went to Ying Feng first, and there was no need to offend Zhang Hongbo.

“Investigate carefully. The waters of Southwind City are deeper than I expected,” Xia Hanshi said faintly. “There’s indeed a big fellow lurking beneath the surface, for unknown reasons.” What does that mean?

Zhang Hongbo and Yang Yan exchanged glances, their surprise and apprehension evident.

…

“The sacred artifact is gone…” The priest’s tone was faint. Zhou Xian, whose scalp was tingling, said in a deep voice, “Your people confirmed he was fine before I let my guard down.”

“All the cultists are dead, so it’s up to you to say,” the priest’s dark pupils stared at him.

Zhou Xian was shocked and angry, and said coldly, “That’s the truth. How can you believe me?”

“Believe in our Lord.” The priest uttered four words.

Zhou Xian immediately shook his head and said forcefully, “We had an agreement back then.”

The priest suddenly stood up, and Zhou Xian’s heart tightened, but then he saw the other party suddenly turn his head and look in a certain direction, his face changing drastically: “Our Lord’s aura has disappeared!”

“What do you mean?” Zhou Xian couldn’t help but ask.

“The holy artifact is empty.” The priest frowned. “It should be the same as last time.”

Zhou Xian paused, his face suddenly changing. Yuan Chenyang was still guarding the ruins, not him?

Who was it then? Someone related to Qi Chuan’s death…

A figure, unconsciously, could it be… Su Chen?

That’s right, the figure at the alley entrance already felt familiar to him. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed somewhat similar to Su Chen.

Zhou Xian became even more agitated and angry, first because the other party could now escape from his subordinates.

Second, because Su Chen appeared before him, but he couldn’t keep him.

Could the guy who disguised himself as a believer of our Lord be a believer of the Faceless Ghost?

The priest thought, his face gradually contorting, “There’s another cult of the Mysterious God in Southwind City. They dare to devour the power of our Lord. They’re seeking death!”

Zhou Xian, hearing this, suddenly woke up and became even more indignant.

The priest had already had a suspect in mind before, and he didn’t truly believe him; he was merely coercing him to believe in Black Tuluo.

But he caught another key piece of information: Su Chen might also be a Mysterious God cultist.

No wonder a vagrant could rise so quickly; if he were a Mysterious God cultist, it would make sense.

“Could the person who acted today be the so-called ‘delicious soul’?” he asked tentatively.

“Impossible…” The priest’s answer was absolute. “No cultist of the Mysterious God is pure; they wouldn’t be called delicious by our Lord.”

It’s not Su Chen… Zhou Xian was immediately disappointed, pondering to himself, “However, if that’s the case, perhaps I can use this incident to first find out if Yuan Chenyang is the ‘delicious soul’.”

…

“Cough… cough…” Su Chen closed the window, still feeling a bit dizzy, with a bloody taste in his mouth. Even a severely injured Tier 3 professional was not someone he could easily deal with.

“It’s a good thing I had this scaled armor, otherwise I would have been killed on the spot.” Su Chen pulled open his clothes. Several of the green scales that fit snugly against his skin were already dented, burning with pain.

“However, it wasn’t in vain.” Su Chen looked at the [Low-level Mysterious God Power] on the panel.

On the way here, he had seized the opportunity to extract the power from the [Guiding] to prevent anyone in the Supervision Department from sensing it.

“Perfect, Arcane Apprentice is almost at a higher rank now.” Su Chen thought for a moment and then gave the newly acquired good stuff to [Arcane Apprentice].

[Arcane Apprentice, influenced by the power of the Mysterious God, has developed an intense thirst for knowledge and wishes to devour a Tier 2 advanced mental profession to advance to a top-tier profession.]
