Chapter 78

"Nether Pavilion?"

The group looked at each other and asked curiously: "This name is interesting, what is the original English meaning?"

"There is no English, it is purely Chinese."

Zhao Fangxu shook his head, then said softly: "I know you are very curious, and I am also very curious, so just a moment ago, I let Er Zhuang investigate a little, and the result was that only one name was found."

Zhang Chulan blurted out: "Bai Yujing?"

"Correct!"

Zhao Fangxu said in a deep voice: "According to the intelligence collected by Er Zhuang, they raided the Spear of God's offline high-level meeting yesterday and used unknown means to subdue them, successfully bringing the entire Spear of God under their command!"

"Not only that, judging from some news leaked from the deep web, there were only a mere five people who raided the Spear of God at the time..."

Xu San frowned and said: "Five people can subdue a huge transnational force?"

Zhao Fangxu turned his head and stared at Zhang Chulan and Wang Zhenqiu: "That's why I called you over, to obtain as much intelligence related to Bai Yujing as possible."

Xu San and Xu Si looked at each other: "What about us?"

Zhao Fangxu glanced at them and said: "Aren't you still monitoring a Spear of God killer? How is he now?"

Still monitoring...

Xu San was about to say this, but Xu Si beside him suddenly took out his phone and made a call with a solemn expression.

Soon, Xu Si hung up the phone and sighed: "I just had someone go take a look, he has already disappeared, and the hotel's surveillance didn't capture any trace of him."

Xu San said in astonishment: "Disappeared into thin air? How is this possible!"

Zhang Chulan and Wang Zhenqiu looked at each other and said in a deep voice: "It's actually possible. The person we encountered in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley also disappeared into thin air like that."

Wang Zhenqiu frowned and said: "Wait, since they have such means, why is there news leaking out?"

"And the Spear of God's high-profile name change is also very strange..."

Zhang Chulan's heart stirred: "You mean, leaked on purpose?"

Wang Zhenqiu nodded and said: "That's right."

Zhao Fangxu tapped the table and said in a deep voice: "It's too early to explore their purpose now. Chulan, Qiu'er, tell me about that Lin Yu you saw first!"

Zhang Chulan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Powerful, mysterious, and impossible to resist."

Wang Zhenqiu nodded and said: "About the same for me."

Zhao Fangxu asked: "What about their attitude toward you?"

Zhang Chulan thought for a moment and said: "Firm, but also inclined to be kind."

"Kind?" Wang Zhenqiu was noncommittal, "I actually feel that their actions are quite overbearing, with a feeling of doing whatever they want and not taking us seriously."

Zhao Fangxu nodded and said: "The company's feeling is similar to Qiu'er's... Zhang Chulan, you don't know yet, but the foreign strange people who broke into the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley all appeared in the surrounding cities afterward."

"When the company found them, these people were all in a coma."

"After the physicians in the circle examined them, they said that their spirits had all been impacted, and after waking up, everyone had lost their memories of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley."

Lost their memories?

Zhang Chulan's pupils shrank, and he blurted out: "The Lu family's Soul-Stealing Technique?"

Zhao Fangxu shook his head: "We thought so too at the time, so we notified the Lu family. After the Lu family heard about this, they immediately sent people to check, but after examination, there were no traces of their souls being modified."

"This shows that the practitioner is either more brilliant than the Lu family, or used another similar strange technique."

"But the problem is, the only Soul-Stealing Technique user in this world stronger than that person is Quanxing's Lu Liang, and Lu Liang is currently at the Lu family and couldn't have acted against these foreign strange people."

Then it must be another similar strange technique!

Zhang Chulan pondered for a moment, looked up, and asked: "What is the company's current attitude?"

Zhao Fangxu glanced at him and said softly: "First of all, the people in Bai Yujing should all be Easterners. From their attitude toward you and Qiu'er, it can be seen that they still hold a certain amount of goodwill toward the company."

"If possible, the company would very much like to make contact with them, and this point of contact can only fall on you."

Zhang Chulan said in astonishment: "Fall on me?"

Zhao Fangxu said with a smile: "That guy named Lin Yu should have said he wanted to find you for a drink, right?"

"..."

Zhang Chulan's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Zhenqiu.

Wang Zhenqiu said with a light smile: "That person did indeed say that, you can't expect me to hide it and not report it, right?"

Zhao Fangxu said solemnly: "In short, if Lin Yu really comes looking for you, I hope you won't hide it and will report it to the company in time. The company will send people to contact him on the premise of trying not to anger the other party."

Zhang Chulan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Director Zhao, why go through so much trouble? Aren't I also a person of the company~"

"Whatever requirements you have, just tell me. If he really appears, I will definitely represent the company and contact him for you!"

Zhao Fangxu stared at Zhang Chulan for a long while before nodding: "That works too..."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the Xu brothers and Wang Zhenqiu: "You guys go out first."

The three were slightly startled, then stood up thoughtfully and left the office first.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Chulan felt a tightness in his heart and vaguely regretted taking on this job.

But soon, a photo Zhao Fangxu took out of the drawer turned this regret into shock.

In the photo, the sea was turbulent, and several modified cruise ships were floating helplessly on the edge of a whirlpool.

And on the decks of these cruise ships, there were figures like gods suspended, either radiating golden light all over or burning with golden-red flames. With every gesture, the ten-thousand-ton cruise ships were like toys, easily manipulated and moved by them...

"... What is this?"

Zhang Chulan stared blankly at the photo.

Zhao Fangxu looked at the expression on his face and said softly: "This was taken by someone who was present at that battle yesterday, and it is the only trace those five people left in this world!"

"After seeing this photo, the company has a guess: in Bai Yujing... there might really be immortals!"

Just as Zhang Chulan and the others guessed, these news and photos were indeed leaked by Lin Yu on purpose.

The reason is also very simple: since Bai Yujing has already incorporated the Spear of God, if they still maintained the status quo, wouldn't it have been for nothing!

Therefore, he wants the Spear of God to become powerful, and the biggest benefit of becoming powerful is that they can use the name of Bai Yujing to directly contact major strange person forces, thereby broadening the channels for obtaining cultivation techniques.

In any case, having people underneath to help with work is definitely much more convenient than them doing it themselves.

Just like now, Lin Yu and the others directly obtained all the information collected by the Spear of God in the past.

This includes not only Eastern Qi-cultivation techniques, Japanese ninjutsu, but also Western alchemy and magic, etc.

Besides that, the Spear of God also has many good things worth mentioning, such as various Eastern magical artifacts and alchemy tools, as well as the Spear of Longinus that became the organization's codename!

That's right, the Spear of God does indeed possess the legendary divine artifact that pierced Jesus.

This thing is kept by them on a secret island in the Pacific Ocean and is something only the organization's high-level members can access.

According to Number One, the Spear of Longinus was once broken, and after it was repaired, its power was greatly reduced, leaving only a kind of oath-binding power.

Swearing an oath to the Spear of Longinus allows one to obtain that kind of spear tattoo.

If the oath is broken, the blood in the body will turn into a spear, piercing the oath-breaker from the inside out.

Lin Yu had long since come into contact with the tattoos on Number One and the others, and after a little research, he learned this power of restriction.

Afterward, he discussed it with the four group members, and they unanimously decided to retain this fine tradition of the Spear of God.

Thus, Lin Yu slightly modified the restriction and planted it on the Seven Shadows of the Nether Pavilion and many Saint-level killers.

After doing all this, Lin Yu and the others began to act separately to inspect and receive the legacy of the Spear of God.

It must be said that the Spear of God's influence is indeed vast and spread across countries all over the world, without a headquarters like Behemoth.

Receiving all their legacy took the group members two full days.

Two days later, the stay time of Su Haoming and the others was completely exhausted, and they could only temporarily return to their own worlds. Only Lin Yu, because of the mid-rank cross-realm talisman, still had five days of stay time.

The fifth day of coming to this world.

A secret island somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.

Lin Yu was suspended above the northern mountain range of the island, and a massive Qimen Dunjia formation spread out with his body as the center, constantly transforming the long and narrow valley beneath his feet.

This is the largest training base of the Spear of God and also the place where He Jingfeng came out from.

The number of orphans taken in on the island is large, but those with the qualifications of a strange person are extremely rare.

Based on this reason, Lin Yu transformed this valley, carved the complete Three-Vehicle Power technique on the rock walls on both sides, and turned this place into a second Heaven-Reaching Valley.

Of course, having a Heaven-Reaching Valley doesn't mean these children must become strange people.

The Nether Pavilion under Bai Yujing is no longer a pure killer organization, but a strange person force preparing to come into the light.

If they are willing, they can naturally leave here and live the life they want.

But unfortunately, in the entire training base, only a few children are willing to leave.

The rest have already adapted to this life and say they are unwilling to leave.

Lin Yu didn't want to mess with their souls anymore, so after discussing it with the group members, he decided to keep this last batch of children, let them receive a more normal education, and become future help for He Jingfeng.
