Chapter 536: Chapter 125: New Moon Church_3

"I didn’t expect you to have such a fetish, pity that heavens do not always oblige..." Chu Ling said lightly, "It seems like you’ve gotten yourself into trouble now. I won’t disturb your sweet moment, just call if you need technical support."

Having said that.

The other end of the Spiritual Link fell silent.

Gu Shen rubbed his cheek, composed his expression, and after opening the door, he looked at the woman standing before him with surprise.

"May the Moon God grant you peace."

Zhou smiled and offered a salute.

These people really can’t stay out of trouble, Gu Shen thought to himself with a sneer, but he greeted her with sincere respect and asked with surprise, "What is this...?"

"It’s like this... The Holy Image has a gift for you."

Zhou glanced covertly into the room.

Her spiritual power had already swept through the area without detecting anything unusual.

Then... she naturally stepped forward, matched Gu Shen’s retreat, entered the room, and closed the door behind her.

"A gift?"

Gu Shen went along with the woman’s act while feeling a headache coming on, because he saw... on Zhou’s white robe, there was a trident emblem that contained Storm God Power.

Back in the Snowfield, these badges were only used for spiritual communication.

In the Southern Continent... there couldn’t be stronger forces, could there?

Gu Shen patiently waited for Zhou to continue, observing carefully, his spiritual power swept over the woman from head to toe, suddenly understanding the implied meaning behind Chu Ling’s words.

Underneath the woman’s oversized white robe, there were indeed some unusual items.

For instance... a whip?

"I want to reward you thoroughly on behalf of the Moon God."

After closing the door, Zhou slowly turned around, her voice soft and seductive.

She removed the white robe that covered her hair, revealing her beautiful long locks.

In her voice, there was the power of "Mental Hypnosis."

Unfortunately, it had no effect on Gu Shen.

The moment the woman stepped into the room, Gu Shen understood... the confrontation that followed was inevitable.

He spoke calmly, "I am requesting technical support, to cut off all the linking signals in the room, to ensure absolute ’safety.’"

"Understood, quite aware," responded Chu Ling almost instantly.

With a "sizzle".

[Deep Sea] disconnected control from this room on its own...

It was at that moment, Zhou realized something was wrong.

Her voice had no effect on the man before her.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Her smile vanished in an instant, her eyes suddenly emitted a silver light; Gu Shen did not retreat but charged into the silver light. Before the fight began, he glanced at the room’s setup... In an open environment, he wouldn’t have taken the incoming attack head-on.

But... he didn’t want anything in the room to be disturbed in this fight.

It looked the same before the fight.

It should look the same after the fight.

In just an instant.

Chi Huo enveloped Gu Shen’s palm, extinguishing the two strands of silver light beneath it, in less than a second he moved right in front of Zhou, his palm wrapped in Chi Huo, pressed against the woman’s face.

Flames surged.

The woman let out a pained moan, yet her delicate face was not directly scorched... Gu Shen had only used the "Spiritual Attribute" of Chi Huo, the overwhelming spiritual power flooding in like an ocean.

A year of meditation.

Gu Shen had refined his cultivation of Spring Breathing to an exquisite level.

His spiritual power had reached an unprecedented height...

However, the badge suddenly burst forth with a formidable spiritual power!

Just as he had anticipated.

In Southern Continent, badges bestowed by the Storm God’s Throne varied in power according to the recipient’s identity; some were essentially Spirit Seals capable of unleashing truly fearsome might at critical moments.

Gu Shen could only retreat backward, dodging the surge of the storm’s shock.

He knew that what followed was inevitably going to cause a "disturbance".

"Crack—Snap—"

Zhou’s eyes went pitch black, and for a moment, she lost the ability to "see", driven by fury, she whipped out a long whip from her waist.

An explosive sound tore through the air.

A slender shadow of the whip grazed Gu Shen’s cheek as it passed, shattering the lamp beside the bed!

With that whip crack, the room’s alarm sounded as well.

Gu Shen moved forward with a calm expression.

He charged again, becoming a phantom within the confined space; before the second strike of the long whip could be raised, he had already rushed into the woman’s embrace, unreservedly landing a punch right on her abdomen.

"Cough..."

Zhou’s face paled, she bent over coughing violently, her consciousness beginning to scatter.

...

...

The hotel attendants, alerted by the alarm, arrived only to see, in the stark darkness of the presidential suite, the silhouettes of a man and a woman indistinctly close together on the bed, a view partly obscured by the sheer curtains.

Broken lamp pieces scattered all over the floor.

The whip lay by the side of the bed.

The attendants were somewhat taken aback.

The manager, who had already understood what had occurred in the room, assured them that the alarm was just a misunderstanding, and said respectfully, "My apologies... We will replace the broken fixtures for you tomorrow."

Once tranquility had been restored.

Gu Shen slowly stood up, looking coldly at the unconscious "Zhou", feeling somewhat troubled.

How should he deal with her?

To kill her outright?

That would be the cleanest solution, but he likely wouldn’t be able to stay in Xiyin City for long then.

What troubled Gu Shen was that this woman had already sought him out... Did it mean that the entire New Moon Church had become aware of his false identity?

After much thought, Gu Shen decided to take a gamble.

In Gu Shen’s understanding of "the seed", each Transcendent who had refined a Fire Seed had undergone a transformation in the essence of life.

For them, nothing was unthinkable, nothing impossible for the Divine.

The number of believers in the Storm God’s Throne was in the tens of millions.

This was an incredibly vast number, even more than estimated.

Yet, even within the domain under the throne’s control, with every badge shock, with every cry for spiritual aid, the Storm God’s Throne should be able to hear it!

Such cries were numerous every day.

He hoped it did not cherish each cry for "help" too dearly.

At least... not to hear this particular cry of his.

Gu Shen took hold of Zhou’s hand, having her "personally" remove the Storm Badge for him.

All was calm.

Then, an onslaught of Chi Huo’s spiritual power surged in...
