Chapter 387: Missing (1)

What a load of information!

The Head Supervisor of the Martial Suppression Office was actually from the You Family.

Even though this piece of information was a rumor and Ao Chunqiu had never come into direct contact with the You Family, there would be no smoke without fire. Since there were rumors, the credibility was very high.

Not 100%, but at least 70% true.

When Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul heard this, it pondered for a moment and said, “In other words, Ao Chunqiu was entrusted by the You Family to go to the Chengtian Palace to look for something or do something. In the end, he was severely injured which caused the You Family to be wiped out?”

“…That’s our guess too.”

Luo Xuangong said softly, “The phenomenon in the Chengtian Palace probably only happened after Ao Chunqiu left. If Ao Chunqiu is awake, or if there are still people from the You Family alive, we can learn from them what happened in the Chengtian Palace.”

“We are also doing our best to investigate what happened in the Chengtian Palace. Before this, this palace was no different from other palaces. After renovation, it was opened up for viewing. Now that people suddenly cannot enter or leave, after some investigation, we discovered that the phenomenon came from underground, beneath the Chengtian Palace,” Luo Shan continued.

“After that, we began to trace back to the past of the palace.”

Guan Zhonghua continued, “Tens of years, hundreds of years ago, other than the necessary repairs, nothing strange has happened in the Chengtian Palace. The phenomenon this time should be related to the You Family. For so many years, the Chengtian Palace has been calm as usual. I believe it had yet to be activated. Now that the phenomenon has appeared, it’s likely that Ao Chunqiu did something to activate the palace and prevent anyone from entering or leaving.

“Since we couldn’t enter and exit the palace, we went to the You Family to search for relevant information. After the annihilation, the You Family’s manor turned into ruins. In the ruins, we found three secret chambers. Two of them could be forcefully opened. There were many treasures inside, but the relevant information wasn’t available. Only the third secret chamber was protected by an array formation. Forcefully opening it would destroy the secret chamber along with it. For this, we temporarily got men to guard it and didn’t open it.”

Xiao Renwo said gently, “Of course, a group of array formation experts are actively studying this secret chamber, looking for a way to break the array formation.”

“It’s our mission to find the mastermind. We didn’t dare to disturb you for this either. But the mastermind might be in the Transcendent-grade. We had no choice but to…”

Luo Shan still wanted to explain, but Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul waved its hand and said, “Enough.”

“Since I’m here, I won’t let the suspected Transcendent-grade murderer wander around the country.

“The source of this matter is the Chengtian Palace, so let’s go there!”

With that, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Luo Xuangong, Luo Shan, and the others naturally agreed and followed behind.

Wasn’t the purpose of inviting a Martial Sage here to suppress the murderer?

Transcendent-grade was not first-grade, let alone second-grade.

No matter how powerful a peak first-grade martial artist who had condensed a Divine Embryo was, there were many people in the same realm. At the very least, they could be assassinated with hidden weapons.

But the Transcendent-grade was different.

If a martial artist in the Transcendent-grade could be seen, he could be guarded against and assassinated.

However, those hidden behind the scenes were bombs, terrifying bombs that no one could avoid.

Once such a bomb detonated, no matter who it was, they would only face death.

Ao Chunqiu was already lucky that he was only severely injured.

Only special treasures could contend against martial artists in the Transcendent-grade, all other martial artists of a lower rank had to obediently lie down.

How could they continue fighting?

They had to kneel down before they even saw the person.

Therefore, they had to have a peer in the Transcendent-grade to hold the line!

If not for the critical situation, Luo Shan and the others wouldn’t have dared to contact Su Jingxing.

After all, they also knew that Su Jingxing was resolving the problem in the Demon’s Dens.

Now, an unknown Transcendent-grade had appeared in the palace while Su Jingxing was held up, if he wasn’t found, who knew if the other party would wipe out all the cabinet big shots like Luo Shan, Luo Zhuigong, and Guan Zhonghua?

With the cabinet wiped out, wouldn’t the Yu Nation immediately fall into chaos?

Even if a new team was quickly selected, a large number of people would definitely die in the chaos.

This was what Su Jingxing didn’t want to see.

Therefore, Su Jingxing had to find out who the mastermind was no matter what.

…

The group arrived at Chengtian Palace

As he approached the palace, Su Jingxing accidentally discovered that he had paid attention to this palace before.

The previous time he came to the capital, he discovered that there was a palace in the open area of the palace whose worldly energy at the top was being guided by an invisible force and lingered around.

He did not expect this palace to be the Chengtian Palace.

However, compared to the unrestrained worldly energy he had seen last time, the worldly energy at the top of Chengtian Palace was now very dense.

It was like a funnel that absorbed worldly energy from all directions into its “stomach”.

No one noticed the abnormality last time. Su Jingxing only sensed it because his soul power was powerful.

Now, any martial artist in the top ranks could detect the surging energy fluctuations in Chengtian Palace.

A huge light screen enveloped the entire palace like a glass barrier.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul walked to the light barrier and reached out to touch it, as if it was touching a solid wall.

Gathering soul power, it threw a punch.

Dong!

A dull and melodious sound immediately spread.

Ripples appeared on the light barrier, then quickly disappeared and peace was restored.

“That’s it.”

Luo Zhuigong explained from behind, “No matter what attacks we use, we can’t break through and enter the interior. This energy barrier is extremely solid.”

“We’ve studied it and realized that we’ve never seen such energy,” Luo Shan continued.

“We’re not sure what’s going on in Chengtian Palace either because we can’t enter,” Guan Zhonghua said. “But for the past few days, nothing has appeared from the palace. The guards said that there has been no movement in it.”
