"What... do you want to do?"
After Gu Shen revealed the biggest weakness of Yuan Shuo City, the previously arrogant and hypocritical Holy City Bishop suddenly beca sincere.
Gu Shen looked at this transformation and found it quite amusing.
"What do you think?"
"The ’Holy City believers’ I lead will fully support the reinforcent." Yuan Shuo City gritted his teeth and said, "When you set off, I’ll follow behind... If you’re really short of manpower, I can also send so believers as a ’vanguard team’."
"Do I care about this?"
"Then what do you care about?" Yuan Shuo City was troubled and said, "Just tell what you want!"
"Your mission in Sangzhou Cave shouldn’t just be ’reinforcent’, right?" Gu Shen said casually, "I want to know about Jiadi... To be precise, the Holy City’s plan for Sangzhou Cave."
"???"
Yuan Shuo City’s eyes widened as he looked at Gu Shen in disbelief.
Standing on the flying sword, Gu Shen smiled and t his gaze.
"You might as well just kill !" Yuan Shuo City panicked and hurriedly said, "How could I possibly say such a thing?!"
He had acted as a broker, receiving benefits from both Central City and the saints...
If Gu Shen insisted on exposing these ssages, at most he would turn over all the embezzled gains. With the relationships he had cultivated in the church over the years and the rits he had established, as long as he could compensate the saints’ losses, he wouldn’t face a capital offense!
But if he disclosed such information...
Then he would be stepping onto a path of no return.
"I see..."
Gu Shen chuckled and said, "So you can’t say it, rather than ’don’t know’. It seems your status and position within the Storm Church are indeed high. Not only Jiadi, but other saints have also entrusted you with tasks."
Yuan Shuo City again: "???"
"Rest assured, I don’t expect you to betray the Holy City."
"Just ensure you ’work diligently’ during the mission; that’s enough." Gu Shen said leisurely, "The information I hold in my hand makes it fair for you to exert such effort. After all, in your eyes, the lives of those believers aren’t considered precious... I’m not asking much; you now send a hundred people to the forefront to clear the path. When issues arise, the Holy City will handle them first. Exhaust all these believers and then go to the Holy City for more. My people are precious, and I don’t want to lose even one."
"... All right."
Yuan Shuo City gritted his teeth and reluctantly uttered this word.
"Wait a mont!"
He suddenly asked, "You haven’t told ... the source of this information!"
Gu Shen glanced at Yuan Shuo City.
"Look in the mirror; do you even have the right to ask?"
After saying this, he rode away on his sword.
The longsword drew an arc in the air and headed towards the distance.
...
...
"A long ti ago, I ventured into the world ’outside the wall’."
Gu Xiaoman dressed neatly, with Fifth-Order Source Armor tightly fitting like skin. Over it was a thin, black garnt, and her clean and tidy short hair was tied into a short ponytail behind her head.
She stood atop the high wall of the S12 District, with a complex expression.
Three years ago, when the awakening experint had just begun... On the way to being ’sold’ to the East Cave E0 District, she encountered a Beast Spirit attack, a bloody scene Xiaoman still vividly rembers.
The first awakening.
Humans facing Beast Spirits hardly stood a chance.
The beasts living in the outer ring of Sangzhou Cave, driven by survival instincts, once awakened and possessing extraordinary essence... would greatly enhance their abilities in ’hunting’ and ’destruction’!
For humans, with weak bodies, they needed slow cultivation, using wisdom to master and harness this power to beco ’strong’.
"Don’t worry."
Shen Li smiled and said, "Three years ago and now, it’s different. You now count as mastering the ’breathing thod’ at the Spiritual Basic-level."
"Basic-level..."
Gu Xiaoman was a bit tense; she had already learned about the general level classification of the deep water area and the corresponding strength of the extraordinary layers.
"At the basic level, it should be enough to deal with so Beast Spirits that only have brute force."
Shen Li said seriously, "Xiaoman, your ability is [Dissolving Dream], for those Transcendent beasts who lack any spiritual defense abilities, you just need to find a chance to destroy their ’brain stem’. They won’t be able to do anything and won’t pose a threat to you."
"Even so."
Gu Xiaoman smiled bitterly, "I still feel a bit nervous."
"What are you nervous about..."
Shen Li said grumpily, "Look at what you’re wearing! Fifth-Order Source Armor! Ordinary Beast Spirits will find it hard to hurt you."
"Swoosh!"
Gu Shen returned to the wall on his sword, his spiritual power enveloping the high wall. The conversation between the two, he had already heard.
"This ti out of the city... hunting Beast Spirits, is just a trial. When encountering so wild basic-level Beast Spirits, you need not fear and just treat it as revisiting the ’body techniques’ from the previous days."
Gu Shen smiled and said, "Also, recall the Spiritual Ability Basic-level application I taught you—"
Basic-level spiritual power, primarily [Minor Hypnosis].
This ti outside the wall, it can be seen as a trial for Gu Xiaoman’s abilities.
But of course—
The real enemy has never been Beast Spirits.
This major hunt out of the city, what really needs vigilance, are the four Divine Envoys!
"I’ve already added a strand of ’Netherworld Fire’ to Gu Xiaoman’s Spirit Sea." Gu Shen whispered in his heart, "With the ’fire seed’ blessing, the ’Prophet’ from the Source Tower won’t be able to divine the accurate position of God’s Favored Son... But even so, we cannot be complacent."
