Light Fortress-Chapter 1554 - 246: Red Shadow

Pure Land World, the winter snow has just melted.

The reverse-flowing seasons have now arrived at the third season, autumn.

The bleak cold wind blows.

Golden wheat spikes dance in the air.

"Oh... finally, newcomers again."

Tie Wu circled around the hundred or so bewildered souls standing there, turned, and found these souls were of quite good quality, showing a satisfied smile.

These souls only appear to be dumbfounded.

But each one is "spirited."

This means their extraordinary aptitude was quite good during their lifetime, which will make taming them later very quick.

"Qingci, I’ll leave these souls to you."

Gu Shen performed rites for over a hundred Transcendents from the Source Tower on the cloud ship.

There’s no other reason.

Mercy for your enemy is cruelty to oneself.

The strength of these Transcendents was not high; some young Divine Envoy candidates were only around the third-order level... if they were allowed to leave alive, who knows what might happen in the future?

For example.

Before Jia Wei became a prominent Great Knight of Light City, he was just an insignificant soldier in the Holy Judge Army.

Back then, the Light Temple attacked the Nether River.

Jia Wei miraculously survived.

No one would have expected at that time... he could climb all the way up to finally become a "Barrier!"

Even if Gu Shen will achieve the status of Netherworld King in the future, he does not want another Jia Wei to appear among his enemies.

So, these people must die.

Gu Shen directly destroyed Cloud Tiger’s Soul Thought on the spot.

This guy was a Source Tower Divine Envoy!

The Sky Divine Throne excels at surveillance, and such a level of genius must be killed cleanly without leaving any suspense... just like the killing of Meng Xiao, Gu Shen will not give anyone a chance to seek the truth.

As for Sidal and Dong Lai Yue’s Soul Thoughts, Gu Shen also didn’t leave them.

Sidal is a good talent, but that’s all... Having compassion for a talent on the enemy side is self-torture. The greatest respect Gu Shen gave to Sidal was allowing him to deliver his last sword; otherwise, with this young third-order’s strength, he wouldn’t even see Gu Shen’s face before being directly incinerated by Chi Huo’s purgatory.

Dong Lai Yue is another case where it doesn’t even need mentioning.

Betraying East Continent and colluding with the Source Tower, this case hasn’t ended yet.

Gu Shen plans to personally deal with the Tonezawa family in Yinghai District when he returns to the Five Continents.

...

...

Having done this, Gu Shen waved away Chi Huo and frost, looking at this cloud ship, which was damaged to various extents, feeling a bit of pity.

He only shattered the cloud ship’s protective shield.

As for the power system where the Source Energy Core is located, he did not deliberately destroy it.

In this battle, Gu Shen was the absolute master.

The reason he did this was to keep this giant, thinking it might be useful later.

It’s just that Chu Ling couldn’t perform a Spiritual Link, and he isn’t a technical talent, so this cloud ship can only be left here for now.

"After everything is settled, let’s see if East Continent can dismantle the ’cloud ship’ wreckage and take it away."

Gu Shen murmured, "Maybe Tomb Ghost is interested in these things?"

He stood on the top of the cloud ship, looking into the distance.

Having read the memories of Cloud Tiger, Sidal, Dong Lai Yue, Gu Shen is no longer in the state of knowing nothing when he first entered the ruins.

He now holds quite a bit of information.

The Storm Church was the first to arrive at the "Ruins" and was slaughtered completely.

There exists a powerful Red Shadow being in the "Ruins," suspected to be an Extraordinary Life nurtured by an ancient civilization.

Cloud Tiger backstabbed Xuan Turtle, fleeing with the Transcendents on the cloud ship.

From Cloud Tiger’s memories, Gu Shen vaguely deduced that the strength of the Red Shadow Extraordinary Life should be steadily above the fourth-order, though it moves fast and its Sword Force is fierce, it’s not necessarily unbeatable...

Of course.

This is only in terms of him, not necessarily unbeatable.

If others in the "Ruins" encounter this Red Shadow, it’s a disaster!

Even the Giant Deer Saint fled injured.

Considering all this information, Gu Shen is not optimistic.

Because, in the [profile] images he saw earlier, Xiaoman headed south, and where the Storm Church was massacred was the Southernmost Land.

"I need to set out immediately."

Gu Shen took a deep breath, said solemnly, "It would be terrible if Xiaoman encounters that thing."

...

...

"Have I arrived?"

Gu Xiaoman stopped, looking at the towering snow mountain ahead, feeling something strange.

This place should have just experienced an avalanche, and after the snow tide stopped, all traces on the ground were wiped away, leaving only the trees that were swept away by the snow tide, scattered in disarray, a scene of devastation.

But that’s not what makes Gu Xiaoman feel strange.

"This place seems uncomfortably quiet."

Earlier she saw Central Continent’s cloud ship come and go, actually sensing something amiss.

This level of avalanche shouldn’t force a cloud ship to retreat.

At most, it would hover in the air, waiting for the avalanche to end.

"..."

Gu Xiaoman took a deep breath, glancing deep into the snow mountain, just about ready to move forward.

A rumble sounded from the skytop. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Gu Xiaoman quickly sought shelter, finding a stone cave; amidst the rumble, two Source Energy Boats stopped near the snow mountain, the air wave gradually subsided, and many Transcendents disembarked from the airships.

These Transcendents were all clad in red-black colored exoskeleton armor.

Gu Xiaoman was not unfamiliar with these things!

Source Armor!

North Continent’s secret defensive armor, which is never shared, and she wore a very precious Fifth-Order Source Armor, gifted by her sister Mu Wanqiu!
