"Starting from the Central Continent?"
Nan Jin was a bit surprised. She had glanced at the list briefly; it mostly contained nas, and a detailed investigation would take so ti.
However, Chu Ling had already uncovered specific information about so of the mbers.
"The biggest difficulty in ’reuniting’ the Ancient Literature Society is solving the trust issue..."
Gu Shen said seriously, "It took nearly two years just for contact with number 073. If we continue like this, person by person, it will take ten years to complete face-to-face etings offline."
Currently, the Ancient Literature Society is in a state of complete shrouded isolation.
mbers do not contact each other.
"Yes..."
Nan Jin was troubled by this situation.
"Although I’m the ’Key,’ no one knows my identity. Faced with this situation, I don’t have a better solution. But if we can find a high-status figure that acts as a ’bond,’ perhaps the connection of the Ancient Literature Society will beco much easier."
Gu Shen paused and looked at the lady, "If Mr. Lu Cheng were still alive, he would be a suitable candidate."
Nan Jin understood what he ant.
She nodded and whispered, "Indeed, if Old Lu were alive... the ’Ancient Literature Society mbers’ in the East Continent wouldn’t be completely out of touch."
If a storm is looming.
Then under the withering trees, one must first find a large tree for shelter.
With the "Red Gate," Lu Cheng, who once had a close relationship with Turing, was such a large tree.
But during the purge back then, many large trees had already fallen.
The Deep Sea issued a severe warning to the council.
To maintain the order and safety of the human world, or to overthrow so system left by Turing... all the parts of the Five Continents took ruthless actions to slaughter those ancient literature ’giants’ in a pool of blood.
"Finding a high-status figure being a ’bond’ is not just as simple as reuniting the Ancient Literature Society."
Gu Shen said slowly, "The initial purpose of the Ancient Literature Society was to collect ancient literature and decipher the ’Extraordinary Origin Secret’ of the ’Old World.’ If we can find surviving ’giant trees,’ we will certainly recover so lost and secret ancient literature."
"Surviving giant trees..."
Nan Jin smiled self-deprecatingly, "Where are they so easy to find?"
Zhou Jiren should also be a candidate that fits Gu Shen’s criteria.
But this dedicated Grand Judge had been buried in the wind and snow... Moreover, he didn’t seem to know much about ’ancient literature’ and was not very clear about the distribution of ’Ancient Literature Society mbers.’
"It’s hard to find, but... not impossible."
Gu Shen looked at the silver screen with a profound smile.
Nas flowed one after another on it, and Nan Jin saw a very familiar na.
"Ian, Leonard."
She instinctively read the na.
"Who would have thought that this Holy Cross Academy Master, a lifelong luminary of the three great academies of the Central Continent... a revered master aged a hundred and twenty-one, who lived for more than a century, would be on the list?"
Gu Shen marveled, "I thought about initiating a private eting in the ’deep water area,’ but this elderly gentleman is too advanced in age and can’t withstand much spiritual consumption... Moreover, his connection with the eting room is very weak."
"Yes..."
Nan Jin said, "Since I took charge of the ’Red Gate,’ fewer and fewer Transcendents are willing to enter the eting room..."
The Deep Water continues to evolve.
Everyone hides themselves.
"Therefore, to contact this Master, you can only visit him in the real world personally."
Gu Shen said seriously, "Direct visits leave too many traces. I want to go undercover in the Central Continent under the guise of negotiating with the Huazhi Group."
The Central Continent is the domain of the Source Tower.
This core continent, surrounded by four others, is celebrated as the ’Progress Sanctuary,’ hosting heroes and welcoming all scholars and communicators.
But... they don’t welco visitors with special motives.
Just as the East Continent does not welco Holy Judges.
Currently, Gu Shen’s identity may not be very favorable in the eyes of the major figures in the Central Continent.
The cetery incident, the journey to the North Continent, shifted the basic layout of these two continents... The series of changes are beneficial for the East Continent, but the opposite for the Central Continent.
With the fall of the Wine God’s throne, the dual deity deterrent in the Central Continent has greatly weakened.
The Source Tower probably already sees as an ’Angel Envoy’ under the command of the ’God of War’ or the ’Netherworld King.’
"This is not difficult to arrange."
Nan Jin worried, "It’s just that... going to the Central Continent like this, is it really okay?"
Under the Deep Sea’s authority, can Gu Shen successfully hide his identity?
"Madam can rest assured..."
Gu Shen silently held Chu Ling’s hand under the stone table, and he smiled, "I heard that the Master does not live in the main city but in a remote area. As long as I stay away from the supre authority, the Deep Sea’s surveillance won’t see ."
"The privilege of the ’Key’?"
Nan Jin nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll make the arrangents."
...
...
The next day.
With gentle winds swirling, a private plane cruised quietly high in the sky.
Outside the cabin, the airflow was stable.
This plane carried a ’business team’ sent by Huazhi to negotiate with the Red Wine Group in the Central Continent. There weren’t many people in the cabin at this mont, only twelve in total... but the original list contained only nine.
In just one night, there were three additional ’unnad persons.’
Vice-captain Qi Han, in a suit and leather shoes, examined the three odd individuals sitting at the very back.
One strange woman who was dozing with a sword in her arms.
Another wearing old-era ritual robes with a white cat mask, looked like she was also a strange woman.
The other young man looked normal, and there seed to be nothing wrong with him... Yet for so reason, Qi Han always felt that this young man exuded a chilling aura, which made people feel cold even when slightly approached.
"Captain Liu... What are the backgrounds of these three people?"
Qi Han lowered his voice and asked, "We’re about to land soon. As mbers of the ’negotiation team,’ shouldn’t they at least change their clothes?"
Upon these words, several others gathered around.
There was not only Qi Han who was curious about the three additional nas on the caravan list overnight.
"Mind your own business and don’t disturb these three,"
Liu Yi wore sunglasses, holding a newspaper, reading quietly.
She glanced back and explained, "These are powerful figures invited by the madam to protect the safety of the caravan... They will not participate in our negotiations, but will intervene to ensure our safety under special circumstances."
In fact, these three need not be responsible for anything.
This negotiation is unlikely to encounter any accidents.
She was also surprised when she received the news last night.
This negotiation is not so important matter.
Yet the madam involved Gu Shen and Nan Jin in the journey to Central Continent... Could there be so major deploynt by Huazhi?
She knew her boundaries and did not inquire further.
"Captain Liu, with you present, do we even need them?"
Qi Han asked cautiously.
In Da Du, Lord Liu Yi, is already a powerful Transcendent... A fourth-tier one!
"Though they are young, they are no weaker than I,"
Liu Yi laughed softly, "And this trip is to Central Continent, where under the protection of twin gods, the Transcendent aura is quite prosperous there, so do not underestimate the people there."
Nearly two years have passed since the Lion Alley battle, and Liu Yi could feel the significant change in the Extraordinary Aura surrounding Nan Jin and Gu Shen.
Nan Jin seed to have rged entirely with the wooden blade.
As for Gu Shen...
The young man who was once weak in power had now beco an enigma that she could not fathom!
She even vaguely felt that today’s Gu Shen was even more formidable than Nan Jin!
If these two were to be considered geniuses, and she could roughly gauge their strength... Then the red and white sacrificial dress-wearing girl with the white cat mask was utterly inscrutable to Liu Yi.
Her spiritual power could not even penetrate the mask.
This was truly a "transcendent" woman; even with a mask, she attracted many gazes, with the caravan mbers drawn to her mysterious and ethereal aura.
Liu Yi looked toward the back seat and smiled genuinely.
From the interlocked fingers of this sacrificial-dressed woman and Gu Shen... it was not hard to infer the relationship between these two.
Couple it with the news from Changye.
This mysterious woman’s identity was starting to surface – she should be the new Tomb Guardian succeeding Master Qianye, Miss Chu, Chu Ling.
After Liu Yi finished speaking, the caravan mbers in the cabin beca nervous one after another.
Were the three seated behind also fourth-tier Transcendents?
Was this negotiation... really in need of so many powerful figures?
"Do not worry,"
Liu Yi said calmly, "We are just discussing a small business, and they won’t show themselves regularly. You just need to stick to the plan."
...
...
The last row.
To avoid trouble, the three remained silent, seemingly closing their eyes in ditation, but in fact... the internal ntal dialogue was ongoing.
"I truly didn’t expect the madam to agree to your request,"
Gu Shen smiled, "Senior sister, when you reach the Source Tower, are you really going to wield your blade against the Angel Envoys?"
"I can’t win,"
Nan Jin replied concisely, "I’m just going to take a look."
To take a look... Perhaps others would believe this, but Gu Shen wouldn’t.
Though having ditated for a year at Fenglai Temple,
Nan Jin didn’t seem like the type who would just take a look and leave. She practiced her blade relentlessly for ten years for revenge... Now, after traveling thousands of miles to Source Tower, just to take a look?
What to look at, the towering view of the Source Tower?
Gu Shen found sothing amiss.
Senior sister had ditated in Changye for a whole year, as Luo Yu ntioned, she barely left her compound... Except for visits from old friends like Mu Ya, she stepped out rarely, indicating her cultivation had been fruitful.
Gu Shen silently sensed it, now senior sister had also ascended to the fourth tier, roughly as strong as himself. Such a rapid progression, however, was still insufficient to create an impact in Central Continent.
With such strength, what could one accomplish by going to Central Continent?
Before Gu Shen could question further, Nan Jin asked in return.
"And you both?"
"We... are just going to take a look too," Gu Shen suppressed his guilt, lightly coughed, and said, "To see an ’old friend’."
"Old friend?"
The senior sister opened her eyes, puzzled, looking at Gu Shen.
If she rembered correctly? It should be Gu Shen’s first visit to Central Continent.
"Yes, an old friend," Gu Shen said earnestly, "One I have been spiritually acquainted with for a long ti."
