How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 440: The Holy Lotus Emerges, Clouds and Wind Transform

Shen Yinchuan burst into laughter, "With your flamboyant style, maybe a lot of beauties want to kill you. With your past deeds, the Nine Headed Snake might really want to bury you underground. But as you said, I just don’t believe it!"

"Alright, alright, you guessed right. I really went on a honeymoon to Java Island." Lin Xiaosu rolled his eyes, "Take me to the station, I want to go home."

"What station? I’ll drive you directly back to Fengcheng!"

Lin Xiaosu was surprised, "Aren’t you busy as a bee? How come you have time to take me?"

"For sorting out the problem for me today, it’s worth a ride!" Shen Yinchuan turned the steering wheel and veered onto the highway leading to Fengcheng...

Shen Yinchuan drove fast all the way, and directly dropped Lin Xiaosu off at the entrance of the Detective Agency.

Through the glass floor-to-ceiling window, there were three beauties inside: Miao Ruolan, Zhou Xi, and a third, Zhou Mei in her police uniform.

"Wanna come in and sit?" asked Lin Xiaosu.

"Nah, as you said, I’m actually busy as a top." Shen Yinchuan said, "Just a little gossip, among the three inside, which one have you hooked? Or is it all of them?"

"Damn!" Lin Xiaosu replied with an exclamation, "There’s also one in a police uniform in there, don’t you have any faith in your colleagues?"

"Is lacking faith in colleagues unusual? I don’t even have faith in my own leader!" Shen Yinchuan said, "Do you know who I’m talking about? I’ve seen four of them, all included!"

Lin Xiaosu gave him a look, speechless!

He got out of the car, closed the door, and lightly waved a hand behind his head...

Shen Yinchuan’s car started, and he vanished.

Lin Xiaosu entered the Detective Agency.

Miao Ruolan almost dropped the teacup from her hands when she saw him...

A little over half a month ago, unusual for her, she had sent him a message because he had been away from home for too long, and she was worried.

After sending the message, she checked her phone a hundred times a day...

Every time, it made her anxiety peak...

Today, all the worries vanished!

He was back!

His face was calm and breezy, with a suave handsomeness, really looking like he had been on vacation in some tourist area for months.

"Ha!" Zhou Xi sprang up, "Brother Lin, did you see the police? We were about to file a missing person report for you. The police took it seriously and were personally handling the case."

"Nonsense!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Zhou Mei is the director of the Tashan Police Station. Only when wild men disappear on Tashan are they looking for her."

"You’ve been gone for months, wilder than a wild man..."

The whole Detective Agency came alive.

The three women asked about his whereabouts, and Lin Xiaosu scratched his head, "I’ll be honest, I found a young girl and went to Java Island for a honeymoon."

"Pfft!" Zhou Mei snorted disdainfully, "Java Island? Honeymoon? I bet you don’t even know where Java Island is! That dump for a honeymoon? Fine, if you won’t say, I won’t bother asking. Tomorrow, I’ll directly ask Ruolan!"

She walked out and returned to her Tashan.

She left, and the door closed...

Zhou Xi glanced around outside, "Brother Lin, we received another 250!"

This 250, really isn’t an insult.

Even though it looks a lot like one.

But it really isn’t.

It’s the reward for the Middle East trip.

The Middle East trip, bringing Seven Steps back to the country, the difficulty level of this task was sky-high, and the reward could only cap.

The cap was 5 million.

Three people went...

Hell! That’s not supposed to be 2.5 million, it should be 1.67 million with a remainder...

Why is it 2.5 million?

Did Qianlong really ignore that little minx Xinyue? Really not treating her as a person?

With a sigh, Lin Xiaosu took the tea Miao Ruolan handed him, "Went abroad once, did a little something for 101, but seriously, three months and only made 2.5 million, isn’t that a bit little?"

"Little? My dear Brother Lin, are you trying to drive all entrepreneurs crazy? Someone once calculated, in a lifetime, burying yourself in work, only a small number of people can end up saving 2 million..."

Lin Xiaosu returned to Fengcheng, with no wind, no waves.

But in the Bridge Realm, endless storms had already swept to the Li Tian Ancestral Hall.

Within the Ancestral Hall, a secluded hall.

Dim lights in the room, the glow brought by the distant magma waterfall.

Two people sat facing each other, a chessboard in front of them.

These two were Left Envoy and Qing Ru.

Left Envoy held the white pieces, the white piece hovered in mid-air, his gaze shot towards the sky outside the window, where three-legged Red Crows came and went, several times more than usual.

"Left Envoy, what do you think of the Abyssal affair?" Qing Ru lifted the teacup beside him.

"A bizarre situation, but perhaps it gives us an opportunity." The Left Envoy flicked the white piece in his hand, it fell into the chess box. Playing chess, itself not chess, but a leisure, as they entered conversation, the game ceased to matter.

"A bizarre situation, I understand!" Qing Ru said, "We have thoroughly analyzed that Li Qing, this matter doesn’t match her past disposition at all, but... you say it’s an opportunity?"

The Left Envoy smiled gently, "Entered the Ancestral Hall two months or so, what we seek is vast and indefinite, however, after this change in the Bridge Realm, all races target the Ancestral Hall, the Ancestral Hall must consider the external layout as well, and the external layout, cannot do without the Holy Lotus."

Qing Ru’s eyes brightened...

They’ve been in the Ancestral Hall for so long, their request long made.

But the Ancestor Hall Elder Council never responded directly.

This showed the matter, to the Ancestral Hall, was extremely difficult to decide.

The Ancestral Hall needs outside connections, outside foundations.

However, the Holy Lotus is no small matter, the Ancestor Lotus not leaving the mountain has always been an iron rule of the Ancestral Hall.

Yet, now the situation has drastically changed.

The Ancestral Hall’s Array Master made such a big deal in the Abyssal, trapping and killing over a hundred clan’s Array Masters, bringing the Bridge Realm’s millennium endeavors to an unprecedented crisis.

How could those clans let it go?

A strong counterattack against the Ancestor Hall has already begun. The bases of the Ancestor Hall in cities have been destroyed one after another, and the people of the Ancestor Hall are being killed wherever they go.

Moreover, the Bai clan alliance is showing intentions to target the Ancestor Hall.

The strength of the Ancestor Hall is indeed formidable, and they do possess many artifacts. However, no matter how strong, they cannot surpass the united Bai clan. The more artifacts they have, the less likely this turmoil will have an end.

Extinction of tribes and seizure of treasures are the most common occurrences in this chaotic realm.

Under the guise of a righteous cause and driven by the hatred of various clans, it would be strange if people didn’t act.

Based on this, the Ancestor Hall must make a decision!

The best plan is to relocate the mountain gate to Wangduan Mountain where Flame City is located.

With Wangduan Mountain backed by the outside world, once the Ancestor Hall occupies it, they can both attack and defend.

If they encounter a powerful enemy, they can enter the Human Clan World through that passage. Once they enter the Human Clan World, no other clans except the Li Tian Clan dare to advance even an inch.

To turn this passage into a vital lifeline within the clan, the Durta Country outside must use the Holy Lotus for layout.

This is the opportunity the Left Envoy spoke of.

The urgency of the situation compels action. Will you not change the age-old tradition of the Holy Lotus not leaving the mountain at this crucial moment concerning the survival of the Ancestor Hall?

A Li Tian Clan member flashed in from outside, slightly bowing: "Left Envoy, the Great Elder requests your presence!"

The Left Envoy stood up: "Qing Ru, pack up! We will first meet the Great Elder and then leave!"

"Yes!"

The two left the side hall where they had lived for more than two months and headed to the Elder Meeting Hall.

In the hall, the Great Elder slowly turned around: "What you ask can be granted! However, the Holy Lotus can only be controlled by the Holy Envoy..."

Half an hour later, a Three-legged Red Crow soared into the sky, with five people on its back.

Three Holy Envoys, plus the Left Envoy and Qing Ru.

These three Holy Envoys are the Third Elder, the Seventh Elder, and the Ninth Elder.

All hold high positions of power.

And their cultivation is profound.

The Third Elder is at a Half-step Fourth Realm Cultivation.

The Seventh Elder and Ninth Elder are both at the Peak of Third Realm Cultivation.

Converted to external cultivation levels, these are approximately the Peeping Heaven High Realm.

Of the same battle strength as Nirvana.

The Third Elder is even stronger than the God Shocking Nirvana.

The Three-legged Red Crow swept across the sky in an instant, flying a thousand miles, and landed on Wangduan Mountain.

Inside the Mountain God Temple, it was very quiet.

The Third Elder frowned slightly: "What’s going on? Didn’t we already send people over? Where are they?"

The Seventh Elder’s gaze swept around the Mountain God Temple: "There are signs of life, indicating they should have already arrived, but the people are gone..."

"The two in front also disappeared more than two months ago!" the Ninth Elder said, "Could someone really have targeted the Mountain God Temple?"

The Left Envoy’s brow furrowed slightly, also somewhat puzzled.

The Mountain God Temple is not an important site of the Li Tian Ancestral Hall but merely a checkpoint for inspecting people going in and out. The inspection was originally just a formality because the only people who could enter were Li Tian Clan members, inspection or not made no difference...

Who has a reason to kill inspection personnel?

Only someone whose identity cannot withstand scrutiny!

Someone whose identity cannot withstand scrutiny but can still pass... There’s only one type of person: legitimate Human Clansmen!

A figure suddenly appeared in his mind, this person is Lin Xiaosu.

After the Di Luo Army annihilated the Menghu Army, Lin Xiaosu disappeared.

Could he have truly come in?

If he really did, then the elders of the Divine Temple are "incompetent" doesn’t quite capture it. Letting a living person enter, what kind of defense is that?

Or...

Did some turmoil occur at the Divine Temple?

"Three Holy Envoys, let’s get over there quickly, maybe something really happened at the Divine Temple!" Left Envoy said.

"Let’s go!"

The five stepped into the underground passage and quickly arrived before the bronze gate, five strange tokens in hand, each representing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The Five Elements Gate opened silently.

The five entered the chamber.

As soon as the chamber door opened, the lights suddenly flared up, two long rows of soldiers, all holding assault rifles, pointed their guns at the five: "Hands up, lie down!"

The Left Envoy’s heart skipped a beat!

The Flying Eagle Army!

Something indeed happened at the Divine Temple...

He had been gone for two and a half months, and the Divine Temple had already fallen...

"Kill!" the Third Elder spat out a word!

Beside him, the Seventh Elder and Ninth Elder suddenly disappeared on the spot.

In the next moment, behind the two groups of soldiers, a giant beast appeared. As its claws flashed coldly, formation and army disintegrated.

In moments, blood flowed like a river.

The passage alarms blared, someone shouted loudly: "Someone else is coming out! There’s truly a Taoist path leading to the underground world here..."

"Stop them!"

"Report to the General!"

...

Chaos erupted outside.

The Left Envoy’s heart abruptly skipped a beat: "Again? Truly?"
