Chapter 716: Probe All Things! Break the Barriers Between Eras!

Old Era?

Luo Shuangshuang was suddenly taken aback, "What nonsense are you spouting? Jiang Chengyu is one of ours; how could he possibly go to such a place?"

"A perfectly healthy person vanishes right under the eyes of so many of us; could it be …"

"Teleport?!" Lin Yang's mind flickered.

"May I ask who among those present possesses the Teleport Talent?" Su Yang scanned the room.

"Um …" The two newcomers were momentarily speechless.

"By the way, Brother Ximen's talent seems never to have manifested; at this critical juncture, could you share something about it?" Su Yang's eyes burned, speaking calmly.

Ximen Zhirou frowned slightly, and facing the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd, forced himself to say, "Do you think I was pulling strings behind the scenes?"

"Of course not; you have no profit relationship with Jiang Chengyu. If you help him you'll get no benefit, and will only bring trouble upon yourself." Su Yang shook his head, continuing:

"We've only been together about three months, and at this critical point you're still keeping secrets … that doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"

Lin Yang, hearing that, added fuel to the fire, "Indeed, Yan Ke and Xi Jun haven't disclosed their talents, so they haven't returned."

"Targeted remedy is key; Brother Ximen won't say what he's worried about?"

"Could it be that he fears we'll covet your talent?"

Ximen Zhirou's expression shifted slightly; after a moment's deliberation, he said, "My talent has absolutely nothing to do with 'Teleport'."

"If you don't want to say, that's fine; I won't force you. I only hope that in the future, should Brother Ximen encounter similar matters, he can still utter the four words—Clear Oneself." Su Yang said.

"Su Yang, I …" Ximen Zhirou was about to speak when Zhuge Chen beside him cut him off immediately.

"I need a deal!"

"No problem." A flash of brilliance crossed Su Yang's eyes, "Help me locate Jiang Chengyu's exact position; once it's done, I'll help you evolve a First Tier Innate Talent!"

"Alright!"

Zhuge Chen clasped his hands together, his eyes radiating brilliant light.

In an instant, strands of illusory thread shot from his crown into the void.

"Is this his talent?!" Qin Weiyang, seeing it for the first time, felt a slight shock.

"Probe All Things, truly remarkable!" a smile appeared on Su Yang's face.

"You did it on purpose?" Qin Weiyang suddenly asked.

Su Yang turned his head to meet her eyes, replying evasively, "How could I have such ability? Everything relies on Lin Yang stirring things behind the scenes."

"It's you?" Qin Weiyang raised her elbow, looking at the engrossed Lin Yang.

"What?" Lin Yang snapped back, his face bewildered.

"Did you deliberately treat Jiang Chengyu that way?" Qin Weiyang asked again.

"How about it, my acting's good enough, right?" Lin Yang squinted, a smug expression.

"You really fooled me."

"Hehe, although I can't stand that guy named Jiang, I wouldn't go so low as to torture and humiliate him with such base methods."

"Did you guess the teleport?"

"Not really; I was just thinking … Su Yang's atypical restraint must hide another purpose." Lin Yang said, meeting Su Yang's gaze, and continued:

"Since he didn't choose to lay everything bare, there must be many Taboo involved behind it."

"And Jiang Chengyu, lying at the door like a dog, isn't that a hint for me to strike?"

Su Yang smiled and gave him a thumbs‑up.

"How about it? Not bad, right?" Lin Yang rubbed his nose.

"Your acting is top‑notch; it would be a pity not to have you play the villain."

"From now on, leave these jobs to me; I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Lin Yang said.

As soon as the words fell, Zhuge Chen abruptly closed his eyes, his momentum collapsing.

"How is it?" Su Yang hurriedly asked.

"Found it!" Zhuge Chen slowly opened his eyes, the dark circles under them deepening a bit.

"Where is the person?"

"A massive island whose area is dozens of times larger than ours, surrounded by hundreds to thousands of players."

"Big island?"

"Sure enough, it's a teleport!" Lin Yang's brows knit tightly.

"Looks like my gamble paid off; Yue Zhao indeed couldn't resist acting." Su Yang said softly.

【48】 "How did he manage that?" Luo Shuangshuang asked, puzzled.

"No problem." A flash of brilliance crossed Su Yang's eyes, "Help me probe Jiang Chengyu's exact location, and after it's done I'll aid you in evolving one tier of your talent!"

"Jiang Chengyu encountered Yue Zhao in the game and was marked with surveillance and an Anchor Point by him."

"Snatching the Ascend God seed was only the first step of the plan; if it fails, he'll see how we handle it."

"I deliberately spared Jiang Chengyu's life just to see what backup he might have."

"Lin Yang's actions gave Yue Zhao an opening, which he seized to teleport him away." Su Yang said.

"You accounted for everything?" Qin Weiyang asked.

Su Yang shook his head, "How could I have such ability? I originally only intended to use this chance to feed false information and mislead Yue Zhao, never expecting him to have such capability."

"But… why could the Old Era directly teleport New Era people? The rules differ, the systems aren't the same, just as you said, how can versions be compatible?" Luo Shuangshuang questioned.

"Our cognition is limited; many things already exceed our understanding, such as how Yue Zhao employed the 'Sniper' method." Su Yang said.

"What use does he have for taking Jiang Chengyu over there?" Lin Yang was puzzled.

Su Yang pondered for a moment, then speculated, "…perhaps this is an opportunity, a… an official declaration of war opportunity!"

"What does that mean?" The crowd was full of question marks.

Su Yang looked up at the sky and said calmly, "Break through the barriers between eras, and thereby realize the grand plan of annexation!"

When this was said, people's hearts trembled immensely.

Is this meant to catch them all in one net?!

Is the Era vs Era Conflict truly this cruel?

Once annexed, the outcome will surely be Prisoner Under the Staircase.

Perhaps it will be like how Lin Yang treats Jiang Chengyu, being kept as a dog!

An endless lifespan, never a day to turn things around!

"How should we counterattack?" Lin Yang said seriously.

"Originally I was exposed while the enemy was hidden; now that Brother Zhuge has joined, the situation Reverse, we will learn every one of their moves in full." Su Yang's Mouth corner slightly lifted.

"The medium is... Jiang Chengyu?"

"Exactly, he is a person of the New Era; Brother Zhuge can only access New Era information at present, and having his deep involvement is the best!"

Lin Yang suddenly realized that Su Yang was pursuing this idea.

He originally thought Su Yang would try to force Jiang Chengyu out using this method.

Unexpectedly, there is a deeper plan.

Thus Jiang Chengyu's departure turns out to be a great thing!

It both resolves the troublesome desire to keep things out of sight and successfully infiltrates the enemy's interior.

Yue Zhao hopes to use him as a catalyst, while Su Yang regards him as a medium.

This Clash—has already begun.

Now we shall see who can laugh to the end!

"Wan Shi Tong's Golden Signboard truly lives up to its reputation, brother, you're amazing." Lin Yang burst into laughter.

"Brother Lin, you overpraise; I am merely a Sharp Blade, it depends only on the wielder's ability to maximize its effect." Zhuge Chen said softly.

"Only wonder... whether Jiang Chengyu can keep his original heart." Ximen Zhirou sighed deeply.
