Chapter 1143: Chapter 57: The Old Lion
“Little Xiuzi…Are you sure?”
Under the dim light, around the long table, the Transcendent experts from Changye gathered.
All the leaders took their seats.
Bai Chen looked at the intelligence report, his expression rather gloomy, and frowned, “Is it possible that the Heavenly Sheath could be made into a weapon?”
Gu Nanfeng, Gong Zi, Li Qingsui, Luo Yu, and others all looked very serious.
This was sothing they had never imagined.
“Calm down, young man.”
Mr. Gu appeared to be the calst among them: “Thirty years ago, Changye had thought of turning the ‘Heavenly Sheath’ into a weapon… capable of greatly dissipating the Taboo Power of source matter, which is even more exhilarating than Strong Logic Material.”
Strong Logic Material, even as precious as Black Silver, can only suppress the flow of source matter.
Upon being injected into the Transcendent’s body, it creates a conflict with the outward explosion of source matter.
But the Heavenly Sheath is more thorough.
It directly curses “source matter,” causing the “source matter” to vanish into thin air!
It doesn’t kill.
Yet it’s more terrifying than killing.
The vast majority of Transcendents would rather die than lose their abilities.
What Mr. Gu revealed shocked everyone.
Thirty years ago?
At that ti… so of them were not even born yet.
“What happened then?”
Li Qingsui asked, “It seems like a very good proposal…”
“It was a very good proposal, except that it wasn’t approved,” Mr. Gu lit a cigar and said slowly, “The reason is simple: the only one capable of breaking the Heavenly Sheath refused to extract the fragnts.”
Thirty years ago, the Heavenly Sheath had not yet developed cracks.
At that ti, the “Snow Cage” was unprecedentedly robust.
“The only one capable of breaking the Heavenly Sheath…”
Gu Nanfeng muttered, “Mr. Gu Changzhi?”
“Yes.”
Mr. Gu nodded, “Besides him, many strong individuals in East Continent tried… destroying the Heavenly Sheath was futile; getting close to the core region would drastically reduce one’s abilities. He vetoed the proposal in a single vote, and we had no choice.”
The group fell into silence.
“No wonder…”
Gu Nanfeng recalled that old tale circulating in Tundra Prison; today, he confird his previous suspicions from Mr. Gu’s words—
It wasn’t that Mr. Gu Changzhi couldn’t pull the stone sword.
But that he didn’t want to.
“What’s ant to be will co; the Heavenly Sheath breaks, and fragnts can be extracted… perhaps it counts as good news.”
Gu Qilin said calmly, “If those criminals think that possessing the ‘Heavenly Sheath Fragnt’ would enable them to wage war against us, they’re being overly naive.”
…
…
Not long after the eting began, a polite knock sounded at the door outside.
It was Gu Shen.
Gu Shen didn’t delay long at the station; he simply tested his “Netherworld King Authority.” After Chi Huo completed the devouring, he directly set off, not forgetting to wake Mu Qingyang before departing.
The two of them stood together at the mont, observed by several gazes.
Mu Qingyang, “forcefully rebooted” by Gu Shen, appeared sowhat sluggish now. This little War God of Jiuning District had initially been looking forward to today’s leaders’ eting.
He had been fully energized, eager to et the heroes of Changye.
But now, Mu Qingyang felt utterly tired, even letting out a small yawn.
“Xiao Gu, Xiao Mu, you two have worked hard.”
Mr. Gu spoke with a smile, “You must be tired after experiencing two exhausting battles earlier, right?”
Mu Qingyang suppressed the second yawn beneath his dark circles and replied with determination, “Not too bad.”
Truth be told.
The recent battle had drained him considerably.
The tug-of-war pulled by the White-haired Ghost was a direct consumption of physical body and spirit.
Most importantly, he attempted to use his own power against the turmoil caused by Yuan Zhong’s [interval cut]… which was kind of like an ant trying to topple a tree.
Gu Shen gazed at Mu Qingyang, his expression tinged with helplessness.
This person, although stubborn, is dependable.
If trouble arises, Mu Qingyang will genuinely rise to the challenge, even recklessly.
Mu Qingyang is a simpleton, and everyone sees that.
Gu Shen stood out, speaking on behalf of Mu Qingyang: “After fighting two rounds, we’re indeed sowhat tired; these days, Brother Qingyang and I may need more rest.”
“It’s necessary to take a rest.” Mr. Gu nodded.
“The basic exploration of the headquarters’ periphery has been completed… After a few days, Changye’s southern line will rapidly advance northward.”
Luo Yu followed up Mr. Gu’s words, briefly introducing the previous discussion of the eting: “Although Han Dang is trying to gather criminals fleeing Tundra, trust is nonexistent among these people; the vast majority won’t choose to entrust their fate to soone else.”
“Indeed…”
Mu Qingyang, weary in spirit, had fiery eyes upon hearing this: “At least half of the criminals will attempt to break through on their own.”
This truly is a pri mont for action.
“Estimated tiline is one month; barring unforeseen events, with our collaboration with the North Continent law enforcent team, we can complete half of the target ‘marker confirmations.'”
Li Qingsui said seriously, “Unfortunately, Han Dang is engaging in ‘consolidation’; otherwise, we could capture more.”
The mission of chasing fugitives in the Tundra seems extensive and prolonged.
But in reality, the true challenge is in the beginning.
The law enforcent teams, grand and lavishly arrayed, are ant to achieve “quick victory” as soon as possible, with the first wave of attacks directly eliminating ninety percent of the criminals, capturing them… Even if a few fish slip through the net, they won’t stir up much trouble.
By then, the law enforcers from both continents will gradually reduce manpower.
