Chapter 943: Chapter 938 Gao Shan Two

"The Fire Drum with a dark tone, the piano, did you kill them?" the Blue Ponytail spoke suddenly. Although he was asking a question, his tone was affirmative.

"Oh, you aren’t with them?" Lin Xin raised an eyebrow.

"Of course not," Blue Ponytail replied seriously. "You also destroyed Flute’s eyes, didn’t you... I’ve heard of your name for a long time."

The other two’s expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.

"But I don’t like being famous," Lin Xin’s expression suddenly turned grim.

His gaze swept across the three people in front of him with a trace of malice.

"You know too much...."

"Wait!" Blue Ponytail suddenly sensed something and quickly dodged to the left.

Boom!

The handsome man wrapped in bandages beside him didn’t have time to react before he exploded into a burst of flesh and blood, splattering everywhere.

Red and white fragments and liquid mixed together, splashing all over the female ninja.

Terrified, she screamed and turned to flee,

Boom!

A similar explosion occurred, and the female ninja’s vision went black as her body exploded, dying without leaving a whole corpse.

Blue Ponytail was drenched in sweat, his heart about to leap out of his chest.

Two Third Level original energy users, killed in an instant by some unknown means.

He, as the only Fifth Level original energy user, could also feel an extremely eerie threat.

"Stop!"

He flicked out a Laser Blade with his right hand and swiftly drew the Longsword from his waist with his left, staring at Lin Xin as if facing a formidable enemy.

"There is no reason for us to fight. We and the dark tone are naturally in opposition! Besides, this information is not known to me alone; everyone in our organization knows. Even if you kill me here, it won’t help."

He stated his reasons as quickly as possible.

"In opposition to the dark tone?"

Lin Xin, upon hearing this, immediately retracted his force field, ready to act.

He didn’t need to take action now, just temporarily releasing the gravitational force field he had been suppressing.

The terrifying gravitational mass from that momentary release alone could tear the vast majority of material in the world into fragments.

"Yes!"

Blue Ponytail felt his voice tremble slightly.

Just now, his always-accurate premonition was almost drowned by the ocean-like terrifying pressure.

If the opponent had been any faster, he would have followed in the footsteps of the two fools before him.

"What is your organization’s name?"

Lin Xin suddenly realized he lacked intelligence channels. He once thought he acted so stealthily that no one could find out, yet this organization could. Their intelligence capability was evidently excellent.

This was something he currently needed.

"Gao Shan."

"Gao Shan?" The ordinary name was unexpected; any organization wanting to attract attention would choose a grand and compelling name.

Yet this organization simply called itself Gao Shan.

"Let your leader speak to me; otherwise..." Lin Xin didn’t want to waste words and intended to converse directly with the highest leader on the other side.

He didn’t have time to waste on these trivial matters.

"Our Supreme Commander...is not here..." Blue Ponytail said, drenched in cold sweat. "And with my qualifications, I cannot speak directly to the Supreme Commander."

"Aren’t you a Fifth Level original energy user?" Lin Xin was slightly surprised this time.

"Yes, but I am directly under the God of Love and the God of Hate. Above them is the Illusion King, and finally, the strongest, the Supreme Commander. Different levels have different direct superiors."

Blue Ponytail quickly explained what he knew.

"Can you contact your superior?" Lin Xin was getting impatient, a faint hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Noticing this, Blue Ponytail became even more alarmed.

"I... I...."

"Let me do it."

An old, authoritative voice came directly in front of Blue Ponytail.

Space suddenly twisted, revealing a small black dot.

The black dot was shaped like a horn, and from it emerged an old, human mouth, speaking.

"Is this...the voice of the Supreme Commander!!?" Blue Ponytail never expected the person he admired most would appear directly before him like this.

"I foresaw that in the Aojia Empire, we would encounter some unpredictable variables and gain a powerful partner, though I didn’t expect it to happen so soon."

The old voice said calmly.

"Cooperation?" Lin Xin’s lips curled into a smile.

"Do you think you are qualified to cooperate with me? I can kill a Fifth Level original energy user in less than a second."

"So what?" the elder replied calmly. "Power is merely the embodiment of rules, the filler of a doll named the world.

No matter how powerful, without crossing barriers, it remains meaningless."

Upon hearing this, Blue Ponytail was completely confused, but Lin Xin’s eyes changed slightly.

He always knew that the upper limit of strength in the Grand Cosmos was certainly higher than in the Dark Cosmos, yet he never encountered someone who understood these limits.

But now, he seemed to have met someone who could potentially grasp this reasoning.

Despite the opponent’s weak aura and spirit, unable to destroy even a small asteroid, that description of realms was valuable experiential wealth.

Weakness does not equate to an inability to understand and deduce higher levels.

Just like the modern technology that invented the atomic bomb.

"Interesting, I’m starting to find you intriguing." Lin Xin’s tone subtly changed, no longer as impatient as before.

"You, sir, also want to find the Millennium Fragments, don’t you?" the old man said in a deep voice.

"Of course, I’m quite interested in that as well." Being something that can condense primordial stones and enhance soul essence, Lin Xin naturally does not refuse.

"Gao Shan has a vast intelligence network spanning many planets, as well as enough assassins and subordinate forces.

It is a great aid in finding the Millennium Fragments.

If you, sir, are willing to become one of us, I will add an extra seat for you at the highest position of Supreme Commander."

"How many Supreme Commanders are there in total?"

Lin Xin began to seriously consider this possibility.

During his inability to use his cultivation and unable to mobilize his forces in the Netherworld, he indeed needed some influence to help him deal with troubles.

The search for the Millennium Fragments is not something that can be done by waiting in place.

"Including myself, there are now two people; three will be the final number, and no more will be added."

The old man calmly replied.

"As a Supreme Commander, you only need to step out and suppress opposing forces at critical moments. We won’t disturb you if there’s nothing significant."

"I will reserve my answer until you’ve demonstrated your organization’s capabilities."

Lin Xin had already decided in his heart that if the other party was indeed strong enough, then joining wasn’t a big deal.

After all, he hadn’t yet figured out how to sign a Soul Contract under the rules of the Grand Universe.

Temporarily leveraging their power was also a good choice.

Of course, if the rules of the Soul Contract were fully established, then he could completely expand his influence massively by subjugating subordinates and enhancing their attributes directly.

"You will soon see..."

The old voice slowly fell silent, and the black distortion vanished entirely, without a trace.

Blue Ponytail finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He suddenly tilted his ear, as if someone was communicating directly with him.

Soon, he snapped back to his senses and bowed respectfully to Lin Xin.

"Honorable Lord Yang Shen, in the next few days, we will directly deliver some useful intelligence to you."

"Alright, you may leave."

Having achieved his aim, Lin Xin couldn’t be bothered with him.

As for the flesh and blood at the scene, a black light flashed, and everything around returned to normal, with all the flesh and blood devoured cleanly in an instant by Lin Xin.

He glanced around and quickly left.

Leaving Blue Ponytail safe but shaken, standing at the original spot.

****************

Unknown space.

All around were twisted dye-like colors, akin to a child’s random doodling.

Or like a massive amount of paint being stirred in a bucket.

No rules, no shapes, not even the slightest possibility of recognition.

Multicolored lights floated and swirled throughout the space.

An old man in black, leaning on a cane, walked slowly in the space.

His pace wasn’t fast, but after walking for a while, he reached a relatively calm area of the space.

"My premonition was correct, I found that person." The old man said in a deep voice, his voice the same as the one who had just conversed with Lin Xin.

"You used the trans-space communication across such a distance, just to find the person in your premonition?" Another voice, neither male nor female, resounded in the space.

The old man seemed used to it and didn’t mind.

"I sent those little fellows to contact him proactively to test and cooperate. Now that I’ve achieved my goal, it’s naturally the best outcome."

"With only two Supreme Commanders in Gao Shan, you’re inviting him to be the third. Do you think the people below will accept it?"

"My premonition tells me that my decision is not wrong." The old man insisted obstinately.

"Blinding one vertical flute makes you revere him so much. He’s merely an ordinary senior proto-energy user, unable to discern the depth of his abilities. Aren’t you being too hasty inviting him to be a Supreme Commander without further probing?" The voice said dissatisfied.

"I have this right, and besides, being a Supreme Commander, I am also a Prophet." The old man answered indifferently.

"Alright, I respect your choice."

**************

Outside Yongxing City, in a training ground amidst a dense forest.

"This time, it’s special training to improve your reaction speed."

Lin Xin pointed to a huge beehive not far away.

"To train your reflexes and reaction time, I’ve specifically found a hive with the most honey...um, the most bees."

Chen Feiyang stood earnestly in front of him, listening intently to what he said.

"Master, tell me what to do."

"Gather twenty pounds of honey, then go back for another twenty pounds before I finish eating. Repeat this cycle until your master here is sick of it."

Lin Xin found a vine chair and comfortably reclined on it. In such a hot summer, a glass of chilled honey water was the ultimate indulgence.

He even prepared ice, just waiting for Chen Feiyang to bring the honey to mix.

"Yes."

Chen Feiyang quickly agreed.
