Chapter 696: Chapter 196: Ashes (Long Chapter)_3

Before stepping into the cemetery, Mr. Gu informed Gu Nanfeng, who was negotiating a bill in Da Du, of his greatest concern. Over the past year, Gu Nanfeng had devoted himself to the joint affairs of the Huazhi faction and the Gu Family’s Old Faction. When the sudden incident occurred in the cemetery, he chose to leave Da Du and rush back.

Likewise, sensing the urgency, Lu Nanzhi dispatched Song Ci as well as the elite Transcendents of the Da Du Sincere Heart Association to set off with Gu Nanfeng!

This force was exceedingly fierce, directly intercepting and severing the Gu Family New Faction’s impact mission from the side.

The tasks that Gu Lushen had arranged outside the cemetery came to naught, as all his confidants were arrested... The majority of them actually did not know Gu Lushen’s real plans; they were simply executing orders, but the Federal Extraordinary Court would not forgive them on this basis.

Stirring up the waves of rebellion and attempting to disrupt the balance in Changye, they would not be directly executed because the situation did not spiral out of control. Instead, they would be sent to the Tundra Prison in East Continent for life imprisonment and would maintain a Spiritual Link for over fifteen hours every day until they were drained of every last bit of their "Extraordinary Computational Power" by the deep water area.

Physical imprisonment and spiritual servitude.

For many Transcendents, this was a torture more terrifying than death itself.

Arrested individuals like Zhu Wang and Han Dang, before their final verdict and execution were handed down, were most likely to be detained in the Tundra Prison as well, where the deep water area would continually extract their spirit... Only because these two were extremely dangerous, the Tundra Prison would provide a special cell for detaining criminals of the Deep Sea Eleventh Layer and those with Titled sentences.

Gu Nanfeng personally took charge of all subsequent transfer procedures to ensure that no accidents would occur... Theoretically, unless another Divine Throne intervenes, none of these individuals could escape.

Now, East Continent has regained a Divine Throne.

With the Outer Continent Divine Throne, who would dare meddle with East Continent’s trial?

After sorting these matters, Gu Nanfeng hurried to the outskirts of the cemetery, his heart constantly concerned about Mr. Gu and the little girl Qing Sui.

Upon reaching the destination, Gu Nanfeng unexpectedly encountered Gu Shen.

"Brother Nanfeng, don’t worry, a heavyweight federal physician has already arrived and is treating the severely injured Transcendent..."

Gu Shen pointed not far away, softly comforting, "Although Mr. Gu’s injuries are severe, he is not yet awake, but they are only flesh wounds and did not damage his core."

The heavyweight physician, in fact, was quite a familiar face.

Coming to Da Teng City, there was an elder with crane hair and youthful looks in the group that conducted the Transcendent evaluation for Gu Shen. He was named Lin Beizhu, controlled "Time Sand," and was Changye’s top medical sage among Transcendents.

He had mentioned before that Changye had people keeping a close eye on Gu Shen and had even extended a cordial invitation.

The ones interested in Gu Shen were, in fact, the Gu family.

However... Lin Beizhu’s invitation was later shelved.

Because it was Gu Nanfeng, the Young Master of the Gu family, who had taken Gu Shen back to Changye City.

"What about little Qing Sui?"

Gu Nanfeng heaved a huge sigh of relief and then asked.

"Qing Sui suffered some spiritual damage, which I have already treated... She might need to sleep a little longer," Gu Shen said softly, "There, Chu Ling is with her."

[Moonlight] indeed did not harm Li Qingsui too much.

What really caused her coma was the spiritual shock from the Netherworld King’s Spark.

The spiritual damage from the last surge of the snow tide in the cemetery seemed invisible, yet it was extremely savage; if the spiritual power wasn’t strong enough, one might fall into a coma, trapped in a nightmare, and even upon waking up, a psychological shadow might remain.

This injury, which other Transcendents might find difficult to remove, was but a trivial matter for the "genuine Netherworld King" to erase his own Spiritual Imprint.

After leaving the cemetery, Gu Shen did not idle away. He released Chi Huo to help those Transcendents trapped in the snow tide’s spiritual shock within the cemetery, driving away the nightmares.

After all, he was a Spirit Transcendent with an extraordinary innate talent...

Addressing this "spiritual problem" that even the Security Committee couldn’t solve was, naturally, within expectations.

While the two conversed.

A very soft moan was heard not far away.

"Hmm..."

Chu Ling had been accompanying Li Qingsui the whole time, and at this moment, her eyes lit up slightly and she quickly sent a telepathic message saying, "She’s awake."

After the removal of the nightmare.

The one who had been treated entered into a gentle sleep.

After some time, she would awaken.

Gu Shen was somewhat surprised; Li Qingsui’s spirit was quite resilient, waking up quickly.

The little girl’s cheeks were deathly pale, and her nose was beaded with cold sweat. It seemed like she had many terrible dreams, dreaming of her own death, dreaming that her sister was killed too, and that the cemetery, the Li Family, and the whole of Changye were destroyed.

The pain in the nightmares was excruciatingly real.

As if it would never end.

Until in her dream, she saw a warm flame that chased away the nightmares, shattered them, and tore them apart.

Only then did the painful feeling slowly dissipate.

Until this moment, as she opened her eyes and saw the star-filled long night before her, she was momentarily bewildered, realizing she seemed to have woken up.

Li Qing Sui’s memory was still lingering in the snowdrifts of the cemetery.

Now, she saw the Divine Sister.

And... Gu Shen, Gu Nanfeng.

Her eyes moistened immediately, thinking this was still a dream, until she was embraced by Chu Ling, and she gradually felt the real sensation of a spring breeze on her face and its warmth, then she slowly calmed her emotions bit by bit.
