Chapter 685: Chapter 61 The Importance Xuanye City Places (One update today)

Just when An Jing was returning to Xuanye City with Chairman Chen.

In the main control room of the Xuanye City Sky Surveillance Bureau, which the Purple Mansion True Men usually used for meetings, three True Persons convened at this moment, along with the projection of another True Person.

Although there are quite a few Purple Mansion True Persons in Xuanye City, each True Person has their own duties, and even if not, they prefer to cultivate in seclusion. Therefore, the scene where four True Persons gather is quite rare, not to mention, among these four True Persons, one is clad in a vermilion and purple robe, obviously a direct subordinate True Person from ’Cave Heaven’ of Luofu.

On the chest of his robe, there’s a jade token with the characters ’Huo She’ flowing with a mysterious aura.

The leading Master Huo She has a youthful appearance and looks like a calm scholar, with a hint of a literary air.

He sat in silence, and the other two and the projection naturally did not speak either. Their identities were also well-known, being the Xuanye City officials responsible for external exploration development and logistics management [Floating Yang True Person], Chonggang Town Guardian True Person and Chief Technical Engineer of the Xuanye City’s Northern Security Area Spiritual Network [Mengshan True Person], and the Captain of the Special Operations Squad of the Sky Surveillance Bureau and the first Expedition Team of the Conscript Bureau [Master Lao Ri].

Among them, the true form of Mengshan True Person was guarding Chonggang Town, and what attended was a Divine Skill projection.

The four True Persons were now silently waiting in front of the water screen that connected to the information database, downloading information.

"Good, I’ve been granted permission," said Master Huo She after a long silence, his tone direct: "The class B investigation warrant for An Xuan, the chief of Jingwei Academy, has been issued. Any information or speculations from all parties can now be communicated to me. This will not be recorded in the file, so feel free to speak your mind."

The words of Master Huo She conveyed a simple meaning: Due to An Jing’s active performance, Xuanye City’s upper echelon has truly turned their attention to him, and this time it was not trivial; a True Person from Cave Heaven had come with a mandate to thoroughly probe An Xuan’s background.

"I’ve conducted a background check on An Xuan before. I can confirm that he arrived in Xuanye City around the time when Moon Tide True Lord brought the ’Heavenly Profound True Talisman’ into the city. He just happened to catch the gang turmoil inside the city and had a conflict with the Lower City District gangs, hid for a while, and then surfaced in the Black Market."

Floating Yang True Person remembered the young man with a peak Purple Mansion magic treasure after their last meeting, and naturally, he did not just do nothing, but carried out a thorough background check on An Jing: "The Black Market’s information is not very clear, only showing that An Xuan most likely escaped at the start of the anomaly and wasn’t affected by the subsequent conflicts between the Fengdu Guards and the Black Market cultivators. This can be confirmed by a statement from the owner of ’Lucky Road Travels,’ who is a member of the Xie family from within the city."

"This Xie family cultivator was moving with An Xuan at that time, avoiding the conflict between the Fengdu Guards and the Black Market cultivators. He managed to operate an unmanned aircraft to fly away before he passed out, and with An Xuan’s current physical fitness shown, he is most likely to have not lost consciousness and left immediately."

Floating Yang True Person’s investigation was very detailed, so much so that An Jing’s movements were largely elucidated.

This was also thanks to Xuanye City’s control over those with chips, as well as the city’s net system that was thorough—even in places without surveillance like the Lower City District and slums, one could always find traces of movement if searched for.

"So, is there a possibility that An Xuan is a foreign force scout targeting the ’Heavenly Profound True Talisman’?"

Hearing this, Master Huo She, who took the lead, asked, and Floating Yang True Person shook his head: "I think it’s unlikely. First of all, what An Xuan bought in the Black Market were tools for exploring the Wilderness. He initially did not plan to stay long in the city, and all the information indicates that at that time he was most likely alone, or stayed in Iron Hand’s recycling shack, and could not have avoided the retro-tracking of the Chrono-Light Formation."

"At that time, I was contending with Xuandu’s purified water and did not pay particular attention to him, who was then unknown. Since then, his whereabouts became uncertain; he often moved between the Wilderness and the city, with his initial footholds being Iron Hand’s recycling shack and the depot at Chonggang Town."

"Speaking of which, the forces behind An Xuan have a stable ’Spirit Stone’ source and purification technology. Most likely, there indeed is an inheritance left from the Dao Court Era, because only under the Protective Great Formation of Dao Courtyard could there be uncontaminated Spirit Veins."

Up to this point, An Jing’s disguise was almost completely stripped away, and it was lucky that he was cautious enough, having several layers of disguise, so his true identity had not been completely exposed.

"Thank you for your cooperation," said Master Huo She, who knew Floating Yang had provided very comprehensive intelligence. He then turned to the others: "Do you have any speculations?"

Master Lao Ri had a sharp gaze and his white chaotic hair draped behind him like a blanket. His lips tightly pursed, he only spoke briefly in response to Master Huo She’s inquiry: "As long as he’s not from the Guiyi Army, that’s fine. Why bother with so much."

Mengshan True Person’s projection chuckled: "In Chonggang Town, he and his friend knew how to play, often buying large quantities of food and weapons, even weather missiles. It’s a mystery how they transported them. It seems the young people play much bolder than we did."

"Most likely, they are using lower-level Artifacts to reverse-engineer our technological level," suggested Master Huo She, who didn’t seem very concerned about it. The war against the Wilderness Demons in the Tianyuan Realm was so intense that they had grown somewhat desensitized to the smuggling and transportation of weapons.

Just then, Master Huo She’s eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh? The video records of An Xuan’s participation in the recent ’Expedition War’ have been sent over from Jingwei Academy."

"Let’s watch it together. This is rare firsthand information that will most likely allow us to analyze the heritage of this mysterious wilderness visitor," he said.

The water mirror swirled with light and water like clouds and rainbows in the sky, soon projecting the video with Mrs. Guang’s perspective as the main view.

The video started with the Martial Test boarding, and the four True Persons watched intently. With their Soul and Spirit capabilities, they could fully comprehend the details even at eight times the speed.

Observing all the way, Floating Yang True Person stroked his chin: "There’s nothing strange, just very well-prepared..."

"That’s typical of Wilderness people," said Master Lao Ri, who had seen too many Wilderness people that lacked firepower and preparation: "But it’s surprising that cultivators from our city do not have such a sense of vigilance, which they can only learn by paying the price in blood, and by then, it’s too late."

"It seems we really need to increase the number of real combat tests, we can’t afford to nurture a bunch of hothouse flowers. If we’re attacked and each of them can only stare dumbfounded or wail, that’d be too embarrassing for us."
