Chapter 1785 - 421: Crime of Betraying Humanity_3

Bai Xiu knew that he couldn’t clear all obstacles for Gu Xiaoman.

But what he could do was not to let any of the bad people Gu Xiaoman missed go free.

"Killing this way, indeed, is very safe."

Gu Shen spoke with deep meaning, "Don’t ask me how I know..."

The two exchanged a glance, everything understood without words.

Of course, Bai Xiu also knew... Gu Shen wasn’t a good person.

Back when North Continent’s "Duke Zhen Yue" mysteriously disappeared, everyone was speculating about Zhen Yue’s whereabouts, but he didn’t waste any time on that. He knew that Zhen Yue’s ashes were likely evenly distributed into the waters of the Duolu River Disaster Realm.

Bai Xiu opened his mouth, "So you’ve taken care of ’White Lizard’s’ corpse, why do you still feel uneasy?"

"Don’t know."

Gu Shen shook his head, his expression becoming serious again, "Perhaps because the opponent is [Deep Sea]?"

Though he told Bai Xiu many secrets.

There were still some things he couldn’t say.

No one knew the power of Deep Sea better than Gu Shen...

Chu Ling’s [Source Code] permissions were only a small part of the power Deep Sea currently wielded. After ten upgrades, the computing power of the main system rose to an extremely terrifying stage. If his suspicions were correct, Deep Sea even successfully seized the Light God’s Seat’s body!

It can divide into billions of Heart Flow Powers.

It alone is like an army beyond thousands.

"Logically, Deep Sea wouldn’t receive footage from here and wouldn’t know what happened here..."

Gu Shen suddenly realized the source of his unease.

"What if it doesn’t care what happens here?"

Encountered White Lizard, killed White Lizard.

This matter seemed like a failed scheme by [Deep Sea]. It tried to persuade itself, but it remained unmoved.

But what if... White Lizard’s "death" was actually part of [Deep Sea]’s plan?

The airship was about to reach the coordinates of Chanyi City. Now, separated by tens of miles, they could already see the edge of the Umbrella’s defense line. From the [Old World] perspective, the Umbrella’s defense line looked like a massive black curtain, with countless floating screens controlled by [Deep Sea] breathing like fish gills.

The light reflected from the iceberg pierced the Black Silver Airship.

Gu Shen and Bai Xiu moved along the light; they could clearly see the floating screens folding. This was a sign that a large number of Source Energy Boats were preparing to enter the [Old World] void, necessitating the opening of permissions for the Umbrella’s defense line for these airships to depart.

...

...

"Captain, fourteen miles outside Chanyi City’s Umbrella defense line, the Silver Fox General’s Black Silver Airship was spotted..."

The surveillance room in Chanyi City was operating at full capacity at the moment.

Never before had so many people arrived at the northwest frontier. After three generals departed consecutively, numerous Outer Continent Transcendents rushed to this place. Alone, Wei Cheng managed to gather nearly a hundred Source Energy Boats ready for battle within a mere twenty-four hours from the Second Army.

Of course, not all these Source Energy Boats were to be sent into the void.

Wei Cheng remained stationed.

He vaguely sensed the "peculiar aspect" of this incident. After the three generals went to the [Old World], there was silence, but the external call intensified, with calls constantly surfacing in the deep water area.

Aside from those fortress guardians with self-strength.

A considerable number of "enthusiastic youths" emerged, mostly with ordinary strength, having awakened not long ago, generally without background or power, young Transcendents.

But they shared one common point—

That was they all wanted to join the northwest frontier!

Unknown who spread the news, but the North Continent giant wall imminently facing an invasion by Extraordinary Life is causing a fervent uproar across the Five Continents.

This indirectly increased Chanyi City’s burden.

What puzzled Wei Cheng most was... Chanyi City had sent an inquiry to Central City’s attic; Wei Cheng even invoked the army controller’s permission bestowed by the generals before departure. But the highest figures he could connect with were the Guild Leader and Duke Zhu Xue.

This incident had escalated beyond his control.

Wei Cheng used the "army controller" authority, hoping Her Majesty the Empress could provide rightful leadership guidance at this urgent moment...

But the attic was silent.

The Guild Leader and Duke Zhu Xue replied that they currently couldn’t contact the Empress and couldn’t get any orders from the attic. Before Her Majesty gives a clear command, the Second Army should refrain from hasty actions and ensure the giant wall’s safety and internal stability is Wei Cheng’s primary task.

Wei Cheng fully agreed with these two dignitaries’ views.

If the [Old World] indeed has any danger that even three generals can’t handle, then even with their fleet’s support, it would only be a drop in the ocean, with little chance of making a significant impact.

So he merely gathered the elite forces of the army.

To protect the giant wall on one hand and maintain Chanyi City’s stability on the other... Reinforcement troops from various major factions would arrive sequentially. As the true owner of the northwest frontier, Chanyi City must possess sufficient power to stand at the highest position.

Yet, just when Chanyi City’s fleet completed its assemblage, the surveillance room reported a finding.

The Silver Fox General’s Black Silver Airship appeared outside the Umbrella defense line!

This was good news!

But all those in the surveillance room couldn’t even celebrate as their smiles froze...

Their spiritual link screens all suddenly cut off.

After a brief blackout.

The real-time monitored spiritual images were abruptly taken over by [Deep Sea]. This scene had never occurred before.

Everyone was first bewildered.

Then shocked...

Because the Heavenly Eye captured a blurred image of the Black Silver Airship.

When it left.

There were three people on the Black Silver Airship.

Silver Fox, Gu Shen, Bai Xiu.

Now, on the return... only two people were left on the airship.

"Where is the Silver Fox General?!"

"The Silver Fox General isn’t on the returning airship?"

The person in charge of the surveillance room felt uneasy, a bad premonition stirring.

The entire surveillance room was so silent a pin drop could be heard.

The atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

Following that, the wanted notice that popped up on the main screen pushed everyone’s unease to the peak.

"Wanted: Gu Shen."

"Threat Level: SSS."

"Charges: Murdering a general, and betrayal of humanity."
