As Kentucky filled his stomach with the precious tals of the Inquisition Forging Hall, Rean and Roan decided to cultivate for a mont. The fat bird probably wouldn't be able to move correctly for a few days, processing all that tal. As for Zangeshu, the guy was still unconscious, and Roan made sure he wouldn't wake up any ti soon.

anwhile, the news about the explosion of the Inquisition Forging Hall spread all over the planet. No one could understand how it happened. The ones who knew the truth, the real mbers of the Inquisition Hall, kept their mouths shut.
However, it didn't take long for the news to leak. There were just way too many experts involved in the Inquisition Forging Hall, after all. Not everyone was under that Mind Control. Soone had hacked into the cores of the Inquisition Forging Hall, making everything go nuts. The pressure began to build in the volcano that was being used, ultimately resulting in the explosion and the volcano eruption.
The Inquisition Hall's higher-ups couldn't stay quiet after that. As the Wrdlem Empire's official presence on this planet, they had to maintain their status. An extensive investigation was conducted in the Inquisition Forging Hall, including everyone who was part of it.
One must not forget that everything was registered in the Werdlem Empire Network, which encompasses all of the Werdlem Empire's Universes. That ans the information regarding the experts who were part of that Hall was never lost. If you wanted such a thing, you would need to go to the Werdlem Empire's main Universe, or Werdlem Universe, for short, and destroy their servers there instead. Obviously, such a thing was impossible.
Soon, their investigation fell into two points. The first one was obviously Rean's group. By following the IDs registered in the Forging Hall through the Werdlem Stones, everyone in Rean's group was thought to have disappeared during the Sunlight Realm event. Because the Sunlight Realm ultimately vanished, no one could confirm for sure if the people who disappeared were dead or not.
Wildin, Tagunda, Falatio, Dintrua... all those nas were from people who have supposedly disappeared in there. Then, shortly before the Inquisition Forging Hall was destroyed, these people joined the Hall. That was just too much of a coincidence. Finally, analyzing these people's Spiritual Energy Signatures, several other incongruences surfaced. The Werdlem Empire's system did indeed consider their identities to be from these people since that was their Werdlem Stone IDs, but other readings captured by the Inquisition Forging Hall regarding these people's Elents, cultivation realms, etc, seed completely different from what they were supposed to be. For example, Tagunda, which was Popon's alias, was a Fire Elent cultivator. However, Popon's body readings definitely told the Inquisition Hall that his affinity was water.
Sure, their faces and bodies were just like the real deal. But that was thanks to Roan's pills instead.
By then, any idiot could tell that soone else was posing as Tagunda, who disappeared in the Sunlight Realm. The question was how. How did soone use another cultivator's Werdlem Stone ID? Was there such a flaw in the Werdlem Empire's System? That, too, seed hard to believe. How could soone from a mortal world find a way to fake a Werdlem Stone ID?
The second point the Inquisition Hall found was Gratlur's great-grandson. Zangeshu had co to ask Gratlur about what was going to happen in the next Divine Werdlem Stone. That activated the Mind Control inside Gratlur's soul, and for a mont, Gratlur tried to regain control since he was trying to kill Zangeshu, which the real Gratlur didn't want. Another point was that the people Roan asked to store the bracelets in those sub-branches ntioned them once interrogated by the Inquisition Hall. Two of the cores that lost control just so happened to be close to where 'Zangeshu' left the bracelets. Of course, the bracelets were lost in the explosion, so it was impossible to analyze them now.
Above all, Zangeshu completely disappeared for the next fews days after that. Did he die in the explosion? Hardly believable since the Inquisition Forging Hall had enough ti to warn everyone about the imminent explosion, so everyone left the Hall before it went up in smoke. No one thought Zangeshu would stay behind to die with it. That made no sense. That said... where was he?
As anyone can imagine, the Inquisiton Hall didn't think twice to make use of the network. Pictures and other information regarding Zangeshu and Rean's group were imdiately shared all over the planet's network. Any information regarding these people was being asked in exchange for huge rewards. The Inquisition Hall was furious, so they didn't care about the price.
Too bad that Popon and the others were used to hiding from the Inquisition Hall, not to ntion they were already back to their normal appearance since Roan's pill effects had worn off. Rean and Roan would be even harder to find since they were just cultivating in the Dinsional Realm. As for Zangeshu... the poor guy still doesn't know he is now one of the most wanted people on the planet.

Surprisingly, or perhaps not, the Inquisition Hall on this planet wasn't the only one interested in this outco. The idea that a Werdlem Stone ID could have been faked was inconceivable. Back in the Werdlem Empire's Main Universe, this little event, sothing that usually wouldn't even be spared a glance at, had raised an eyebrow. "Fergou, did you see this one?" Galita asked her subordinate. As ntioned before, she was the one responsible for the whole managing operation of the Werdlem Empire's Universes.
Ever since the Celestial Soul System caught the attention of the Main Universe, a wider approach was being used, trying to catch any special events over all the Werdlem Empire's Universes. Fergou, one of her close subordinates, took a look. "Stolen Werdlem Stone IDs? That's obviously an overstatent. We both know such a thing is impossible. Only the real owner of a Werdlem Stone could use that Stone's ID."
Galita nodded. "I know. But we are still looking for those new outsiders."
Fergou shrugged. "Then it is even more unlikely. The only way you could possibly fool the Werdlem Empire's System by using soone else's Werdlem Stone is if you had an even more powerful system. Do you think that is possible? Do you think such a thing even exists?"
Galita narrowed her eyes for a mont and continued to look at that information. "You are probably right. In any case, just send soone to check."
Fergou sighed. "We have sent people to thousands of different places to check on various different pieces of information. I will send soone but don't expect much. Fooling the Werdlem Empire System? That's obviously ridiculous."
"That's good enough," Galita answered, satisfied. "Now, take a look at this other report. This one seems a lot more trustworthy. Could the invaders actually have gone to..." The two then continued to work and check several other reports regarding the sa issue from other corners of the Werdlem Empire's Bubble.
