Dragon's Pool, Tiger's Den
Looking at the crimson lightning and torrential rain in the direction of Source Pool Mountain from a distant high mountain, Wang Xuan couldn't help but show a strange expression. Could it be related to Supernatural Power? Do Transcendent Immortals take revenge without delay?
That night, the various organizations were somewhat tense and made no special discoveries at the destroyed Source Pool Mountain.
The Sun family pretended to join the exploration team, but eventually left in a hurry.
The following day, although there were reports and discussions, no one knew the truth of the matter, and the Sun family kept themselves completely absolved.
They kept a low profile, observing secretly to see if anything unusual would happen after this incident.
Wang Xuan did not return to the city, but instead roamed the mountains. He traversed the forests and headed east, avoiding various surveillance cameras.
He retrieved the quantum computer from the Blessed Land Fragment. It was given to him by Zhong Cheng and was confirmed to be a very safe device that he could use with peace of mind.
Wang Xuan browsed the news and found that no special events had occurred outside, and the destruction of Source Pool Mountain had not caused much of a stir.
However, in the afternoon, Grant of the Agon Zaibatsu became anxious because his granddaughter Christine and the extraordinary warrior Hansolo had disappeared without a trace for more than a day.
"Christine left me a secret letter saying she was going to attend a supernatural gathering, but she's been gone for a day and a night. Could something have happened to her?" Grant sent out a message, seeking help from the financial magnates in the East.
The Sun family was stunned when they found out. Had their strategic partner's granddaughter been killed?
They were secretly relieved that the news hadn't leaked out this time, otherwise Grant would definitely have turned against them.
"Could something have happened to them?" Grant couldn't wait for his granddaughter to return, so he naturally thought of Source Pool Mountain. Why was it bombarded?
"God, what's going on there?" Grant was shocked. Could it be that some Eastern tycoon was attacking the gathering of superhumans?
"Sun, are you aware of the Source Pool Mountain incident?" He contacted Sun Rongsheng immediately.
Sun Rongsheng's heart sank, and he sighed inwardly, "This old guy is too sensitive, isn't he? Why is it such a coincidence that Grant's granddaughter ran away this time?"
"I heard that it was attacked and destroyed, but I don't know the specifics," Sun Rongsheng replied calmly.
Grant put down the phone, a cold glint in his eyes, and told his men to bring in their own people to investigate the Source Pool Mountain incident.
"The Sun family has a grudge against the Supernatural Practitioner in the East. Could it be that they learned about that gathering and thus attacked, accidentally injuring Christine?!"
Grant's heart sank as he made the connection, unable to accept this fact. He ordered his men to search for the man named Wang Xuan and find out where he was.
Soon, he received a report that Wang Xuan had also disappeared.
"God!" Grant felt like he was going crazy. His guess might have come true. The Sun family wanted to kill Wang Xuan, and they did succeed. They also got rid of his granddaughter.
Next, Grant personally spoke with senior executives of some of the Eastern financial groups.
Soon after, the Qin Family and Song Family gave him some clues, and their detectors found a few special alloy lumps and a small piece of strange crystal at the scene.
"Christine, Hansolo!"
Grant's hands trembled when he saw the fragments: the alloy from Hansolo's spear and the crystal from his granddaughter's mirror.
Both of these artifacts were treasures that were close to divine artifacts, yet they melted and shattered, and his vision went black.
"Sun, I demand an explanation!" That evening, Grant contacted Sun Rongsheng in anger and sorrow. Although he had no evidence yet, he felt that the Sun family must have killed Christine!
"Old friend, don't get excited..." Sun Rongsheng frowned. How could it be such a coincidence? He had a headache and really didn't want to admit it.
At night, Wang Xuan roasted meat in the mountains to prepare dinner. This kind of life, eating outdoors and sleeping in the open, was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, peaceful and uneventful.
Suddenly, he looked up at the night sky and saw someone flying in—or rather, a spiritual entity—drifting down. It was the woman wearing dark red metal armor.
She looked rather pathetic; her figure was blurred, her armor was shattered and mostly missing, and the woman was not in good condition.
Wang Xuan was alarmed. The warship's bombardment could even severely damage someone's mental astral projection? Yes, the mental body contained Super Material, which was matter in reality, and was naturally affected.
"Why didn't you attend the party?" The woman's expression was unfriendly and very stern. Although she roughly knew what had happened, she was in a bad mood and took her anger out on Wang Xuan.
"The invitation was stolen." Wang Xuan took out the fake invitation that was about to disappear and explained calmly and patiently.
"Who do you think attacked Source Pool Mountain?" the woman asked in a cold voice.
Her aloof and domineering demeanor, standing high in the air, disgusted Wang Xuan, who thought to himself, "I'm not your subordinate, do I owe you anything?"
But he didn't want to turn against her now. There was a high probability that this woman had Transcendent Immortals, so he decided to wait and see what their methods were.
Wang Xuan has now set up a stage for them and handed it over to the Sun family and the Transcendent Immortals to perform. He wants them to assess each other's abilities before making a decision.
"Currently, only the Sun family is most hostile to those who are extraordinary. I have been attacked by them many times and have had to hide in the mountains. Of course, I have no evidence and cannot be sure whether they were the ones who attacked this time."
"Go to the Sun family immediately and investigate!" the woman in mid-air said coldly, her voice filled with murderous intent and domineering authority, a completely commanding tone.
Wang Xuan really wanted to kill her. Did she really think he could be summoned and dismissed at will? Was he her servant? Why should he obey her orders?
If it weren't for the powerful figure behind her, he really wouldn't want to indulge this woman.
He wanted to stay behind the scenes for the time being and see for himself whether the Transcendent Immortals could intervene in the mortal world.
This woman is in a very bad state right now, her spirit and body are almost completely destroyed, yet she still dares to be arrogant towards him.
"If my true form appears in the city, the Sun family will immediately notice it. It's not suitable for me to investigate. If I show up now, I'll just be a sitting duck," Wang Xuan shook his head.
He added, "Even if we hide in the mountains now, it probably won't last long. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in New Star, even in the most deserted forests."
"Useless!" the woman said coldly. She was in a terrible mood and had no kind words for others.
Wang Xuan remained calm and didn't hold a grudge against her. He discerned many things from this; the Transcendent Immortals had suffered a great loss and heavy damage at Source Pool Mountain.
"I have a divine seal here that can grant you some of your power," the woman said, flying down and approaching Wang Xuan.
"Oh, is it for me?" Wang Xuan smiled as he looked at the bright red seal in her hand.
The woman remained expressionless and said, "This is not a treasure you can control. I will leave a mark on you and grant you some of its power."
Wang Xuan stepped back, as if to say he wanted to "stamp" or mark him. What was he thinking?!
"You don't want to?" the woman said coldly.
What kind of attitude and tone is this? Wang Xuan is about to lose his temper. So what if he has Transcendent Immortals behind him? He was almost wiped out by the Sun family!
You should know that he hasn't suffered any losses in dealing with the Sun family.
The first clash between this woman's organization and the conglomerate was devastating. She was just a loser, yet they wanted to take their anger out on her.
Wang Xuan took a few steps back without saying a word.
The woman had not yet recovered from the crushing defeat at Source Pool Mountain and was somewhat mentally unstable. Now, sensing Wang Xuan's resistance and considering her own decreased strength, she took a deep breath and held back.
"Get close to the Sun family as soon as possible. You must arrive within two days and prepare to cooperate with our attack!" the woman said, her eyes sharp as she looked at Wang Xuan.
"No problem." Wang Xuan nodded, not because he was obeying her orders, but because he really wanted to see what the commotion was about and was ready to buy at the bottom at any time.
He was certain that he had to find an opportunity to kill this woman!
Now, no matter how much he dislikes and hates it, he cannot make a move, and he cannot divert the hatred of the Transcendent Immortals from the Sun family to his own.
With a flash of red, the woman disappeared into the night sky and flew away.
Wang Xuan stared in the direction the woman had left. She used to be very strong, but now she was indeed weak. The fact that she could travel far without a physical body must be related to the red armor she wore, which was a valuable treasure!
Unfortunately, this tangible armor was blasted to smithereens by the warship.
"Armor specially forged for the spirit, is this soul armor, Primordial Spirit Armor?" Wang Xuan pondered, filled with envy.
Then he sneered and cut off a wisp of rune from his body. This was left by the other party without him noticing when he received the invitation. Did they really think he wouldn't notice it?
He can now briefly wander in his mind, and his mental perception is abnormal. He had already figured it out, and this was something he deliberately left behind, waiting for the other party to come to him.
Now, he has learned very important information from the woman: Transcendent Immortals is going to take action against the Sun family within two days.
An ancient lamp appeared, and a ball of light flew out, burning the rune marks left by the woman until they faded, dissipated, and were completely obliterated.
"You're so self-righteous. In my eyes, you're just a tool!" Wang Xuan muttered. At this moment, he no longer left any mark and no longer needed to risk maintaining contact with the other party.
With a whoosh, he vanished from the forest, completely away from this place.
However, he was indeed heading towards Kangning City, where the Sun family was located, moving forward along the dense forest and the mountains.
He set off at dawn after Source Pool Mountain was bombarded, and by now it's late at night. He has already traveled a long enough distance, and he has two more days to go, so he has plenty of time.
On the way, Wang Xuan continued to study the talismans, trying to figure out exactly what they were used for.
"Is this Escape Talisman?" He was quite surprised. When he slightly activated a certain talisman, he disappeared in a flash and quickly dimmed the talisman again.
At daybreak, he also figured out a type of talisman— Invisibility Talisman.
These talismans are all good things, making his eyes sparkle.
Wang Xuan was like a ghost, silently moving through the dense forest. At his level, he was merely traveling and not tired. Even when he stopped to rest, it was only to study the talismans.
During the day he is more cautious, not only to avoid detectors, but also to avoid travelers and explorers entering the mountains.
In the evening, he walked along the mountain range through the dense forest and arrived at the wetlands Kangning City, which was still more than ten miles away from the big city.
Wang Xuan remarked that the environment at New Star was indeed excellent, with forests, lakes, and wetlands everywhere, which provided him with an opportunity to evade surveillance.
However, once he arrived here, even in the wetlands and along the riverbanks, there were detectors. He used Invisibility Talisman and rushed towards Kangning City at top speed.
He didn't waste any time, mainly because he couldn't bear to part with the Invisibility Talisman. He quickly entered a large hotel very close to the Sun family, chose an empty room, and "checked in".
He deactivated the Invisibility Talisman and found it had dimmed somewhat, and even developed a tiny crack.
He couldn't help but shake his head. There was still so much to learn. When would he be able to make talismans himself, and even master this Unique Techniques without using Invisibility Talisman?
He arrived more than a day early and waited here, ready to watch the great battle Transcendent Immortals and the Sun family.
That very night, trouble struck the Sun family!
"Dong..." A bell rang out, its sound capable of shaking the spirits of even the most extraordinary individuals.
Wang Xuan was surprised and quickly focused his mind, but instead of rushing out, he looked out the window at the Sun family's place to observe the situation.
He was deeply moved. The Sun family was indeed extraordinary. Their headquarters contained terrifying treasures. In that building, sacred runes intertwined, and silver bell waves rippled, illuminating the night sky.
These strange phenomena can only be seen by those who are extraordinary. The scene is extremely terrifying. The silver ripples expand and strike a purple-haired elder, taking away his soul and spirit!
The old man is a spirit; he broke into the Sun family's house at night and has now fallen victim to their scheme!
Wang Xuan was awestruck. The lair of this super family was terrifying. It actually had a rare treasure that autonomously revived and automatically locked down the invading spirit!
Then, Wang Xuan saw woman in red armor, floating high in the sky outside the Sun family's residence, her eyes cold.
The old man staggered towards her, where she absorbed him into a red divine seal, temporarily stabilizing his spirit.
"The tycoons of today should really be crushed! They dug up the cave of Transcendent Immortals and obtained top-tier treasures from ancient times!" the woman frowned.
This bell was reluctantly given away by an unparalleled expert, who left it in the mortal world and gave it to his descendants to guard their cave and protect the entire lineage.
Now, the Great Bell has fallen into the hands of modern-day tycoons, who use it to deal with the followers of the Transcendent Immortals.
"Go and possess the body of the old man with purple hair, and try entering the Sun family." The woman said, releasing the spirit of the purple-haired elder once again.
A moment later, a young man in front of the Sun family's gate was possessed, his consciousness instantly becoming muddled, and he walked into the Sun family's residence.
When!
The bell rang again, and the old man screamed, bursting out of the young man's body and instantly escaping back; he had lost another soul!
Inside the high-rise hotel, Wang Xuan was alarmed, but thankfully he didn't act rashly. The Sun family's headquarters was extremely dangerous; if he lost his mind and recklessly barged in, something terrible might happen.
He thought of the mole he had met in Jingyue City. What Mr. Ghost said now seemed quite reliable: the Sun family's extraordinary treasure was amazing and could lock a person's soul.
The woman stepped back, muttering to herself, "Auto-activated, and it can do this even without anyone controlling it? Could it be that some kind of being has taken over the Sun family?"
She was filled with doubt and surprise, but she was not willing to give up. She activated the divine seal and released another spiritual entity, which was an Old Monk.
His physical body was destroyed at Source Pool Mountain, but his spirit remained, residing within the divine seal.
"I'll try to restrain that big bell in a moment, and you can enter the Sun family from the back," the woman said.
The Old Monk nodded and floated away.
The woman activated the divine seal, emitting a crimson light that struck the divine bell. At the same time Old Monk floated into the Sun family from another direction.
When!
The bell rang again, and the silver ripples expanded, reaching this spot and striking the red divine seal, causing it to dim and develop a small crack!
The woman exclaimed in shock, heartbroken.
Wang Xuan was deeply moved. That giant bell was terrifying. What incredible luck did the Sun family have to dig up something like that!
The woman was terrified and quickly backed away. She felt a chill run down her spine; it was as if someone was manipulating the large bell!
Then, something even more terrifying happened. Although the Old Monk had temporarily avoided the silver bell and entered the Sun family, an accident still occurred.
Deep within the Sun family compound, there was a small golden flag, no bigger than the palm of a hand. When it was gently waved, it immediately emitted ripples in the darkness, the patterns intertwined.
With a soft "poof," the golden patterns shredded the Old Monk, extinguishing his spiritual body and causing him to perish completely!
Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine and stared blankly for a while.
All these sights can only be seen by extraordinary beings; ordinary people cannot perceive them.
"How is this possible?" the woman exclaimed in shock. "Wasn't this thing lost in ancient times? How could it have appeared in this era!"
She seriously suspected that some powerful being might be inhabiting the Sun family's territory, and that this land had been claimed. The headquarters of a modern-day conglomerate was far too terrifying; it was practically a den of dragons and tigers!
