Chapter 247: Infiltrating the Interior, Yu Xiaogang Returns Empty-Handed

After the Five Great Envoys entered Wuhun City, except for the two foodies Oscar and Ma Hongjun, the goals of the other three were very clear.

Yu Xiaogang most wanted to enter the Inner City, followed by the Spirit Hall Academy.

Tang San was now increasingly interested in Soul Guidance Devices and also wanted to enter the Spirit Hall Academy.

Dugu Yan, on the other hand, had always been there to find her grandfather, secretly inquiring about all information related to the dungeon every day.

They were very confident that in the entire Wuhun City, apart from the three god-level powerhouses Qian Daoliu, Poseidon, and Jerry, no one else posed any threat to them.

Tang San felt that the Spirit Hall had too many secrets; relying on believers to infiltrate and learn was not as good as coming to learn in person.

After arriving in Wuhun City, all kinds of things made him feel curious, and he felt that Wuhun City and the outside were completely two different worlds.

What Tang San understood was only the Heaven Dou Empire of the past; now that Xue Ke had become Empress, it had been developing rapidly and was long different from the past.

Tang San had been hiding in the Extreme North, which belonged to the edge of the Empire. After the World Advancement, the area of the entire planet had grown several times, and the location of the Extreme North was even more remote.

The Extreme North was covered in ice and snow all year round and lacked resources. Now the Empire mainly developed the coastal and inland areas and did not have extra manpower and material resources to manage the Extreme North; this was also the reason why Tang San and the others could pull a fast one and occupy the Extreme North.

This time, the few of them came to Wuhun City and felt curious about everything. Even though Yu Xiaogang had lived in the Spirit Hall for several years before, coming back now, he could not keep up with the development speed of Wuhun City.

Tang San wandered around Wuhun City alone and occasionally eavesdropped on the conversations of the common people, learning many things from them.

The airport, train station, bus station, and teleportation station—the four long-distance travel stations simply subverted Tang San's cognition.

Arriving at the airport and seeing planes taking off with passengers, he could not help but be very interested in planes.

He also found out that there were two types of planes: one was the Spirit Guidance Plane, and the other was the Ordinary Plane.

Spirit Guidance Planes could only be piloted by Spirit Masters, while Ordinary Planes could be piloted by ordinary people without soul power.

Moreover, both types of planes were equipped with weapon systems, making the journey very safe.

Tang San made Hidden Weapons himself and understood some mechanisms. He felt that planes could be used by ordinary people, and they were also equipped with weapons, which meant that planes were just large-scale mechanical weapons, the same principle as his own Hidden Weapons, only more complex and much more powerful than what he had learned in the Tang Sect in his previous life.

Afterwards, he went to the train station and saw trains, and to the bus station and saw long-distance buses, giving Tang San the feeling that these were all large-scale mechanical weapons.

When he went to the teleportation station, Tang San was stunned; he heard with his own ears the staff telling everyone to walk to the middle of the Teleportation Array—a Teleportation Array, an Array!

Later, he found out that the teleportation station had been publicly used for four years; before that, only the Inner City of the Spirit Hall had it.

What shocked him even more was that he heard the Cultivation Tower being called a Spirit Gathering Array by some people, and the Gravity Field being called a Gravity Array by some people.

Even the reason why the Floating Small Courtyard could float was because an Anti-Gravity Array was installed.

It turned out that it was not that the Spirit Hall did not make the Arrays public, but that they had been used directly in Wuhun City a long time ago. Starting from the earliest Cultivation Tower, counting the time, he was still studying at the academy back then.

Tang San hated himself for not coming to Wuhun City sooner. Many places that everyone did not pay attention to used Arrays. If he had come earlier, he probably would have discovered them long ago. At that time, he had not yet been wanted by the Spirit Hall, and maybe he could have studied them systematically.

No wonder; when the public opinion about the Summoner profession was spread before, everyone was still actively discussing it, but when the Arrays were spread, it could not stir up any public opinion at all. It turned out that everyone was already used to it.

In fact, many release devices for Soul Guidance Devices used Arrays inside. People in Wuhun City had been using Soul Guidance Devices for many years and did not care about these things at all.

It was just that Tang San and the others were hearing about it for the first time, feeling that they had discovered something remarkable.

The more Tang San thought about it, the more he felt it was terrifying to think about; the Spirit Hall had laid out so much invisibly.

Then Tang San looked at the Spirit Ring manufacturing machine, the Soul Ring Enhancer, the Soul Beast Contract Room...

After watching for a day, there were still many things he had not seen, but this had already deeply shocked Tang San. At night, Tang San returned to his residence and looked up at the starry sky alone, as if thinking about something.

The next day, Tang San changed his name to Tang Yin and applied for a guard position at the Spirit Hall Academy, successfully mixing in.

At the same time, Yu Xiaogang was also trying to find a way to enter the Inner City.

The personnel in the Inner City were basically direct members of the Spirit Hall, or those who had progressed from the Spirit Hall Academy all the way to the Research Institute; they knew each other's roots, and it was difficult for outsiders to get in.

Yu Xiaogang had entered once before, also because Jerry looked for him. He wanted to go in himself and tried many methods, but none succeeded, so he had been inquiring about ways to enter the Inner City.

When he learned that Tang San had already mixed into the Spirit Hall Academy, he did not intend to go again and spent every day researching what methods could be used to enter the Inner City.

Yu Xiaogang knew that there was a library in the Elder Hall of the Inner City, and that was where the core information of the Spirit Hall was kept.

When he was young, although he had reached the position of Elder, the people in the Elder Hall all felt that he relied on his relationship with Bibi Dong, and no one recognized him.

Others did not give him any face at all, and he had no chance to enter the library of the Elder Hall.

Tang San and the others had discussed that before overthrowing the Spirit Hall, they must first get their hands on the important information of the Spirit Hall.

And the most, most important information of the Spirit Hall was, of course, in the library of the Elder Hall.

Before, he felt that if he could not enter the Elder Hall, going to the Spirit Hall Academy would also be fine, but Tang San had taken the first step.

With Tang San's talent, his speed of learning things was very fast.

After he finished learning, he could teach it to him.

If he went himself, it would be superfluous.

What made Yu Xiaogang even more annoyed was that Dugu Yan had learned Tang San's method and passed the exam into the Law Enforcement Team. He knew that Dugu Yan just wanted to find her grandfather. After the Law Enforcement Team arrested people, they would assign the prisoners to different places according to their crimes.

As long as Dugu Yan stayed in the Law Enforcement Team for a few more days, she would soon be able to find out her grandfather's whereabouts.

As for Oscar and Ma Hongjun, there was no need to mention them; they had no hatred for the Spirit Hall and only stood on their side because of their friends and teachers.

Watching Tang San and Dugu Yan both achieve their goals, while he faced the gate of the Inner City with no way to enter, he could not help but feel very annoyed.

The other few people were busy with their own things every day, and only he had no progress, which made him feel the same way he did when he was a "waste" in the past.

Yu Xiaogang really wanted to achieve some results and prove himself. Having carried the reputation of a "waste" for many years, he wanted to use this to wash away this reputation.

Tang San and the others were different from Yu Xiaogang; they were young and were all young geniuses, so they could not understand someone who had carried the title of "waste" for a lifetime.

In the past, he wanted to change himself and researched martial soul theory, but in the end, the Spirit Hall published information that hit him so hard he was left without a shred of dignity.

Now that he had become a god, he urgently needed to come up with something to prove himself. Under the premise of not being able to expose his cultivation, he chose to study the information of the Spirit Hall. He believed that through his own ability, he could definitely innovate.

However, the first step was blocked now. He could not let go of his pride and could not infiltrate the Spirit Hall Spirit Master Academy like Tang San, but he had no way to enter the Inner City.

He felt that the reason why the martial soul theory he had organized in the past was so vulnerable was that the important information was kept in the Elder Hall, and he had never had the opportunity to come into contact with it.

If he had the opportunity to come into contact with the information in the Elder Hall, he could definitely do better than Jerry; Jerry was just standing on the shoulders of his predecessors.

The Elder Hall and the Research Department of Wuhun City were both in the Inner City, so Yu Xiaogang was impatient to enter the Inner City.

Even setting aside the reason of Bibi Dong, he wanted to go in himself.

If Jerry knew that Yu Xiaogang wanted to enter the Inner City for these reasons, he would definitely laugh out loud.

The Inner City is different now; all the buildings have been moved into the sky, and the only things remaining in the Inner City are the Teleportation Plaza, the training grounds, and the park.

It can be said that, other than the outer walls which were not dismantled, there is nothing of importance left inside the Inner City.

Even for the Teleportation Array, without a teleportation card, one cannot teleport anywhere.

In the current Inner City, there are only two guards arranged at the entrance to put on a show and display the majesty of the Spirit Hall.

As for the so-called Elder Hall library, the data inside was scanned and uploaded long ago; as long as one has the authorization, it can be viewed on a Mobile Phone.

There was so much original data and it took up so much space; in the past, Spirit Guidance rings were rare and uncommon, but now Spirit Guidance rings are countless.

Qian Daoliu took a Spirit Guidance ring, stored all the data one by one, and then threw it into the safe in his own home, and he hasn't taken it out for many years.

This safe is a Spirit Guidance safe that Jerry specially made for him, which comes with defense functions, positioning functions, and binding authentication functions. Even a god-level powerhouse cannot open it without identification and authentication.

The top-level figures of the Spirit Hall now basically live in floating courtyards at an altitude of nine thousand meters, which ordinary people simply cannot reach.

As for the Server that stores all the data, it is not inside the Douluo Planet at all.

This Server is quite important; it contains all the data related to the Douluo Continent. If it were placed on the continent, it would require heavy troops to guard it, though under normal circumstances, no one would target this Server.

Just in case, Jerry never felt that the secret of the Server would never be leaked, so Jerry placed the Server in the Small Courtyard on the Moon.

To get to the Moon, one must first have sufficient strength, and then be able to withstand the active and violent soul power in space.

For an ordinary god-level powerhouse, their God Body is only at the first level, so they simply cannot withstand it.

The Sky Douluo Qian Daoliu, known as invincible in the air, after breaking through to the god-level, could barely withstand the environment here when passing through the ten-thousand-meter barrier to enter the next layer, let alone the several layers that follow.

However, Jerry did set up a Teleportation Array in the Small Courtyard on the Moon, so it is possible to teleport directly here; the environment in the Small Courtyard has been modified to be similar to the Douluo Continent, but only one teleportation card was made, and it is still in Jerry's hands.

One month later, Yu Xiaogang had tried every method but failed to sneak in, while Tang San and the others had obtained some of the things they wanted; Yu Xiaogang was anxious, as he himself had not accomplished anything yet, so he prepared to sneak in secretly.

At night, Yu Xiaogang secretly arrived at the entrance of the Inner City of Wuhun City. There were two guards; perhaps because it was late at night, one guard was listless, and the other was even more impressive, standing there and almost falling asleep.

This defense is too lax, isn't it? Isn't this exactly what I wanted?

Yu Xiaogang waited for a while longer, and the listless guard also began to feel sleepy, slowly closing his eyes as well.

The time had come; Yu Xiaogang, dressed in night-traveling clothes, quietly walked past them and entered the Inner City just like that.

Why didn't Yu Xiaogang fly in? To prevent the Inner City from being spied upon, a Barrier had long been set up above; touching the Barrier would trigger an alert, so one could only enter through the main gate.

Having entered the Inner City, thinking there might still be guards inside, Yu Xiaogang quickly hid himself. After waiting for a long time, he did not see a single person, which made Yu Xiaogang feel very strange.

The Inner City at night could be said to be pitch black, which was completely different from what Yu Xiaogang had imagined; he had been to the Inner City before, and the Inner City in his memory was not like this.

The entire Inner City was very empty, and there was not even a single person; if it weren't for the traces of buildings on the ground, Yu Xiaogang would have felt as if he had left the city.

Soon, Yu Xiaogang toured the entire Inner City; except for the city walls which could prove this was the Inner City, there was nothing else.

The Spirit Hall Inner City had disappeared!

What kind of situation was this? Yu Xiaogang felt a bit broken; he had spent so much effort trying to enter the Inner City, only to find that there was nothing here.

The Pope Palace, the Elder Hall, and various other buildings had all disappeared.

Soon, Yu Xiaogang calmed down.

This kind of disappearance was definitely not without reason, and since there were still guards outside, it could only mean one thing: the Spirit Hall Inner City had relocated, relocated silently, and everyone outside was unaware.

The guards placed here were just for show.

No, that's not right; Yu Xiaogang had been watching the Inner City entrance for a month, and people were coming in and out every day. Judging by their appearance, they didn't seem to be acting.

Then there must be a special place in the Inner City. Yu Xiaogang scanned the Inner City again; the only place with light was a plaza, which was completely unobstructed, and he hadn't noticed it just now.

He had been afraid that there were people in the Inner City and that he would be discovered if he were exposed under the lights, but now that he had checked the whole area, there was not a single person in the Inner City.

The only place with light—this place was too suspicious.

Yu Xiaogang went directly to the plaza, and only then did he see clearly that an Array was set up on the ground; this was a Teleportation Array.

No wonder, so that was it; after the Spirit Hall relocated, one had to go through the Teleportation Array to get there.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to risk it, and Yu Xiaogang stepped directly onto the Teleportation Array.

A platform rose from the ground, with only a long, narrow slit on it, and nothing else.

"Beep, please insert the teleportation card!"

A voice rang out, giving Yu Xiaogang a fright, but upon hearing that this voice was an electronic sound, Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief.

What was a teleportation card?

Why was this Teleportation Array so strange? Wasn't it supposed to teleport as soon as one stepped on it? Why didn't it start?

The public Teleportation Arrays outside all had fixed locations, so they weren't set up so complexly; every time, the staff would set the destination in advance, and then the people who needed to teleport would step directly into the Teleportation Array and could teleport immediately.

The reason this Teleportation Array was set up this way was because this Teleportation Array could not only teleport to other places but also teleport home; as for whether to go home or to other places, that required each person to choose for themselves.

Besides the public Teleportation Arrays of the Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang had once seen the Thunder God's Teleportation Array; that was a one-way fixed Teleportation Array, so there was nothing that needed to be set.

Therefore, this strange Teleportation Array now asking him to insert a teleportation card—what on earth was a teleportation card?

Without a teleportation card, Yu Xiaogang wanted to see if he could study this Teleportation Array. After looking at it for a while, he shook his head directly; having never learned the basic symbols and the laws of Array settings, he could not understand these things at all.

He had spent so much time, even sneaking in secretly, only to find he couldn't do anything; suddenly, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
