Chapter 544: Chapter 128 Planning_2

Through the cloth bag, everything was transferred.

And now... only the last lamp remained, clutched in his hand.

Clearly.

He had never intended to leave Gu Shen anything useful.

...

...

"After this underground system is completely closed, it will be very difficult for you to leave,"

Xiao said with a smile, "If you change your mind now and tell me the true function of the ’lamp’, there might still be a chance."

Everything was too smooth.

So smooth that he felt... it lacked any challenge.

According to plan, they breached the system, and according to plan, they deceived Gu Shen...

Everything was within the plan.

Gu Shen smiled.

"If I tell you, will you let me leave?"

Xiao laughed as well.

"I thought... you were beyond hope in terms of stupidity,"

he said with some regret, "but it seems you still kept a bit of wits about you. Alright, I admit, I don’t care about the function of the ’lamp’; I will figure it out on my own... And, to give you some good news, Lan Wei’er is on his way here... Good luck."

He released his grip.

The Copper Human Lamp fell out of the cloth bag.

It went to another space.

The Anger Lamp had been transferred.

In Gu Shen’s presence, Xiao burned the cloth bag with Blood Fire Power... the entrance to that "certain space" was also thus destroyed.

He looked at the Underground Church where the alarm sound was piercingly shrill and spoke with a light chuckle.

"I hope I can see you again..."

"A living you."

Then, smiling, he made a gesture of a hand sweeping across his throat.

Blood splattered.

The life of this body was ended in that instant, lying in a pool of blood, a wisp of Blood Fire Power quickly extinguished, and amidst the shrill alarm, the body’s Blood Fire Power, which was extremely weak, slowly faded away... Xiao had long been prepared for his own "ending."

In the midst of the sharp alarm.

Gu Shen watched as Xiao’s body slowly fell.

Blood spread out.

He showed no panic.

He extended one hand, its palm burning with scorching Chi Huo, beginning to melt the Secret Silver Heavy Door before him... Chi Huo touched the Strong Logic Material, emitting a violent erosion noise.

It could erode, but the process was slow.

To leave this place, another heavy door needed to be broken open.

To complete everything.

Time... might be a bit tight.

Gu Shen pondered silently for ten seconds.

After ten seconds.

He said to Chu Ling, "Send him a message, just say... I need 20 minutes."

...

...

Outside of Xiyin City, a major meeting was being held.

Several powerful figures from Inland State had come here to join the meeting... The reason being, today’s conference involved the future "coexistence situation" of several cities in Southern Continent, because present there that day, was Da Du District’s Huazhi Group’s "assistant to the councilman," Cui Zhongcheng.

Huazhi had decided to sell some of its treasured "secret research results" to Southern Continent.

This was a meeting of very high standards.

Every attendee brought their "most capable" assistant with them.

And just when the meeting was halfway through—

The middle-aged man in a white cloak serving a prominent figure, appeared to have received some message, his expression darkening.

"The security system in the underground of the Xiyin City Church... has triggered an alarm..."

He promptly reported the situation of the church to the "great personage" by his side.

That personage frowned, unconcerned.

As far as he was aware, if the Underground Church of New Moon Church in Xiyin City encountered danger, it would automatically lock down!

"I’m afraid I must take my leave to check on the situation," Lan Wei’er said earnestly.

After speaking,

he was about to set out.

At the head of the long table, a man who glanced at his communicator slowly raised his hand, and immediately a guard stepped forward, blocking the exit.

Lan Wei’er’s expression changed, ready to erupt... He recalled the prior agreement of this meeting.

Once seated, one should not leave casually.

He clenched his teeth, holding back his anger.

"Lan Wei’er, wait a moment," the prominent figure said, resting a hand on him, speaking calmly, "The meeting is about to end... Once the agreement is signed, I will leave with you."

Southern Continent was chaotic.

It’s disorder, unlike that of East Continent... Changye’s families had their conflicts, but they reached a consensus on matters of great importance.

In Southern Continent, several Inland States were locked in conflict, the fires of the church spreading, everyone desperately trying to annex the others to such an extent that they would resort to any means, without restraint.

The negotiation with Huazhi... had attracted the attention of several churches, and securing the most "funding" was not just about signing the agreement, but also about eliminating those competitors vying for the agreement.

For the sake of the agreement and for safety, this prominent figure decided to keep Lan Wei’er by his side for a while longer.

...

...

In the depths of New Moon Church, the alarm was blaring.

But that was all it did... After the underground system was sealed, no one could enter, nor could anyone leave; the congregation outside must have started gathering, but they did not know what was happening inside.

Standing amidst the piercing alarms, Gu Shen calmly recalled everything.

In his mind, he reviewed once more what he had to do next... After confirming there were no mistakes, he officially began his actions.

He reached out and grasped.

The iron armor, under the influence of the Iron Throne, was dismantled and reassembled!

Click!

A clear snap echoed throughout the underground.

An iron axe split open the heavy door of the chamber made of Strong Logic Material!
