Chapter 132: Shura Field
Any impression?
Li Heng immediately became interested. Although he was not clear what this so-called Tianming Organization looked like, just the two words "Tianming" (Heavenly Mandate) were enough to set one's imagination running wild.
The withdrawn Meng Lingyun nearby also leaned in.
Ma Suxuan rolled her eyes at Meng Lingyun and began to speak.
"Because of a major case, I once personally reviewed the files of the Demon Suppression Division and inadvertently saw a file from the beginning of the Great Li Dynasty, which contained information about a force called the Tianming Organization."
"It is said that this organization upholds the Heavenly Mandate and searches for people of the Heavenly Mandate. It is mysterious and unfathomable; there is even speculation that when the founding emperor ended the chaotic times and established the Great Li, the shadow of this organization was present."
Mentioning this, Ma Suxuan could not help but shake her head.
This is highly unlikely.
Before the Great Li was established, that founding emperor was already a member of a noble family, belonging to an incredibly powerful clan, and it was only after uniting with other noble families that he established such a vast dynasty.
Why use a mysterious organization when you have noble families? What a joke.
To Ma Suxuan, this was a baseless viewpoint.
Upholding the Heavenly Mandate, searching for people of the Heavenly Mandate?
Li Heng frowned slightly, pondering in his heart, and thought of the situation when he first met the Monk-Daoist Guest. When the Monk-Daoist Guest first met him, he believed his Luck was profound and wanted to invest in him.
At that time, he thought it was because the Monk-Daoist Guest had extremely high discernment.
Now it seems... there was this reason as well?
That is truly dedicated, Li Heng chuckled inwardly. Even without his memories, he still thought about investing in people with profound Luck? Isn't the so-called Heavenly Mandate just another way of saying profound Luck?
When Luck is strong to the extreme, one can naturally bear the Heavenly Mandate!
In this way, it is no wonder that Ma Suxuan just said the shadow of the Tianming Organization was present in the establishment of the Great Li Dynasty. The founding emperor of Great Li must have had corresponding Luck and sufficient Heavenly Mandate to establish the dynasty.
But what is the purpose of this Tianming Organization?
Li Heng did not believe that this Tianming Organization was a selfless charity. While they invest in people of the Heavenly Mandate and people of Luck, they must also be gaining something, or perhaps they are working toward some mission.
Heavenly Mandate, Luck... He shook his head inwardly. Involving these mysterious things, combined with all the secrets he had learned along the way, the water in this World is truly deep; it is too dangerous.
Meng Lingyun beside him was shocked and also recalled the situation when the Monk-Daoist Guest met Li Heng. This reaction surprised Ma Suxuan, and she hurriedly asked him what he knew.
He looked at Li Heng, casting an inquiring look.
Li Heng nodded; in any case, this was not a secret matter.
With Li Heng's consent and Ma Suxuan's questioning, Meng Lingyun naturally told everything he knew, recounting the events that had occurred, leaving Ma Suxuan stunned.
Little Heng is also a person of profound Luck?
She did not feel surprised by this. In Ma Suxuan's view, given Li Heng's talent and appearance, it went without saying that he must possess extremely strong Luck; he was a peerless genius, and it was only natural.
But the questions this extended into made her think deeply.
Assuming that the Monk-Daoist Guest was a member of the Tianming Organization and saw that Li Heng had profound Luck, he formed a good connection and invested in him. Doesn't that mean the speculation she saw in the files is true?
The Tianming Organization saw that the founding emperor had profound Luck and the Heavenly Mandate of the Supreme Ruler, so they secretly assisted him in opening the path, established the vast Great Li Dynasty, and blocked the Weird outside the borders?
Ma Suxuan felt it was somewhat absurd.
Is this definitely not a plot from a storybook novel?
But according to what Meng Lingyun said, this kind of thing seems to be truly possible. Although things like Luck are mysterious, as far as she knew, the realm Innate Above can touch and interfere with them.
After a long while, she felt a sense of emotion.
"I originally thought that leaving the Prefecture and coming to this Beian County would be a relatively relaxing journey. I didn't expect to have such a thrilling experience now, and to have learned of these secret matters."
Witnessing the death of an Innate and confirming this so-called Tianming Organization—the terrifying amount of information extended from this, even the major case she took over back at the Prefecture that was enough to shock the entire Prefecture and involved the lives of over a hundred thousand souls, was nothing compared to this, right?
"I will investigate this matter carefully when I return to the Prefecture."
Meng Lingyun and Li Heng nodded slightly; it would be good to investigate. They were also interested in that Tianming Organization. Upholding the Heavenly Mandate, searching for people of the Heavenly Mandate? If they lack the corresponding strength, that is a very arrogant claim. But if they have it, then this organization is terrifying...
Li Heng even suspected that the Tianming Organization could be mentioned in the same breath as the Sunset Organization where the demons and Weird gather, being equally mysterious and ancient.
"Now back to business, Meng Lingyun, I ask you. How many friends do you have, and how many female confidantes? Do you know what I encountered last night?"
Ma Suxuan's expression turned unkind as she stared at Meng Lingyun.
Meng Lingyun coughed a few times and managed a smile. "Well Suxuan, what did you encounter last night? You left suddenly last night, and I also felt it was a bit strange."
"A mysterious person who claimed to be your old friend."
"I joined forces with him and beat Wang Xuanji to death."
"Ah no, actually it doesn't count as joining forces; even without me, that mysterious person should have been able to beat Wang Xuanji to death, though perhaps he might have stopped him from escaping, and he wasn't even an Innate."
"Do you have any impression of this person?"
Hearing this, Meng Lingyun's expression was blank.
What a joke, being able to beat an Innate Level Wang Xuanji to death while not being at the Innate Level himself—if he had a friend who could be called such a ruthless person, would he still need to be stuck before the Innate Level?
"Looking at your expression, you probably don't know, or can't remember."
Ma Suxuan held her forehead, feeling somewhat helpless.
"I really can't remember, maybe they were just using my name?" Meng Lingyun blinked, pondering in his heart who it could be. But no matter who it was, it didn't match up with this matter.
"Fine, since you don't know, let's talk about business."
Meng Lingyun remained blank; wasn't what they just talked about business?
"I ask you, how many female, con, fi, dantes do you have!"
Ma Suxuan said calmly, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing.
Li Heng nearby sipped his tea, watching the Shura field before him, smiling slightly, feeling extremely delighted in his heart. This matter is truly interesting... looking at the old man's appearance, it seems he really might have female confidantes.
In the end, the two left in peace.
Well, Meng Lingyun was dragged back by Ma Suxuan with one hand.
Li Heng sipped his tea in the courtyard with a strange expression. Recalling the conversation just now, he couldn't help but sigh that the old man really played wildly; he must have been a romantic youth when he was young.
After finishing the last sip of tea, his mouth was full of lingering fragrance.
Li Heng pulled up his Data Panel and discovered that the three percentage progress bars were not rising very quickly; it was almost noon now, and they had only reached ten percent progress. It seemed it would take some time.
Clearly, this was because the True Qi Realm and the Innate level were not in the same league.
One was mundane, the other was transcendent.
It was no surprise that it would take a bit more time.
With his mind calmed, Li Heng finished his lunch at the Demon Suppression Division's canteen, returned, closed his eyes to meditate, and waited for nightfall.
Inside the Wang Family residence.
Wang Haitao, the head of the Wang Family branch, felt like crying as he thought of the guest hall that had been completely destroyed. This was a guest hall he had spent a large sum of money to build, and now it had just exploded like that.
You say you want to fight, then fight, but why destroy the house?
Oh, you are Innate experts, coming and going from the heights, transcendent beings who do not care about the things of us mortals. He complained in his heart, but it immediately turned into sorrow; this was indeed a fact.
"Family Head, don't be sad, try to look on the bright side."
Wang Donglai, standing nearby, comforted him. He had taken the day off and did not go to the Demon Suppression Division, staying home to keep his younger sister company instead.
But he always felt that Wang Haitao needed his company more...
Upon hearing this, Wang Haitao remained silent for a long time before blurting out, "Is there any news about that Wang Xuanji now? It is laughable to say, I originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity... Now that I think about it, even if we are their branch, they wouldn't care about us."
He said with a bitter smile, unable to help but shake his head.
"I just hope that Wang Xuanji never comes back..."
Wang Donglai could not help but shake his head at these words; how could that be possible? That Wang Xuanji was an Innate-level Great Grandmaster expert; once his injuries healed, he would surely make a comeback.
The backyard.
It was truly a scene of gloom and misery.
Those Wang Family youths gathered together, their expressions grim and silent, feeling a complete lack of security. They had previously thought that the eccentric Wang Xuanji was reliable, but he had been beaten away by someone; what kind of reliability was that?
Until... a light flashed, and a Talisman appeared, tearing through the Void, which brought joy to everyone; news had come from the main family. They had failed to contact Wang Xuanji, so they had reported the matter to the family.
Now it seemed the family was still reliable.
Even though the family was very far from here...
A few lines of text began to appear in the Void.
But upon seeing the first few characters, their bodies all stiffened, revealing expressions of disbelief. Because those characters were—"Wang Xuanji is dead"!
The next moment, they were in an uproar, exclaiming that it was impossible.
Although Wang Xuanji was eccentric and had even made them call him Little Martial Uncle before, he was still an Innate expert, and the family elders had treated him with great courtesy, even fear.
Yet now, he had died so easily.
Was this truly an extremely hard-to-kill transcendent Innate Great Grandmaster!?
But this was the news sent by the family; it could not be fake.
However, when they saw the following lines of text, they breathed a sigh of relief. The family did not intend to abandon them yet and would send experts to investigate, telling them to ensure their own safety during this period and not to stir up trouble.
Stirring up trouble? That was naturally impossible.
They were noble aristocratic family members; encountering those bumpkins and sensing the earthy, mundane aura from them made them feel disgusted, and they would not lower themselves to oppress those bumpkins.
Furthermore, they did not dare to.
During this time, they did not even dare to step half a step outside the Wang Family residence...
A day passed in a hurry, and night fell.
Li Heng returned from his state of meditative practice and Visualization of the Great Sun, walked out of his residence, stepped out of the Demon Suppression Division, and planned to go to the outer city to wander around, clearing out those Weird Dead Remnants to earn some Source Power.
