Light Fortress

Chapter 1124 - 43: War Begins!

Gu Shen was somewhat curious, this massive "Red Sea" wasn’t something that a normal person’s ability could accomplish. Even the domain size released by a Fourth-order Transcendent has its limits.

Obviously, this guy spreading poison couldn’t possibly have the power of Lu Zhe or Jia Wei.

So to release such a large amount of Poison Sea in such a short period...

There’s only one possibility.

He used a sealed artifact.

Then something interesting emerges. The prisoners held in the [Snow Cage], upon entry, even their clothes would be stripped clean, and everything within their domain would be completely cleared!

The sealed artifact... was it buried outside the [Snow Cage] a long time ago?

Looking at it this way, this is someone who had planned an escape for a long time, leaving such a contingency. Because of the collapse of Heavenly Sheath, it really coincidentally came in handy.

"In the [Snow Cage], there’s an A-class criminal, nicknamed the Poison Ghost."

Chu Ling, who was mentally linked with Gu Shen, had already checked the related files. She compared the "blurred figure" seen by Gu Shen with the photo in the file, and they almost perfectly matched.

The identity of this guy was instantly discovered.

"Poison Ghost, mid-level of the Deep Sea Tenth Layer, ranked nineteenth on the high-risk list, ability [Red Sleep Demon]."

"In the [Snow Cage], Poison Ghost has two close associates. They are the thirty-fourth-ranked [White-haired Ghost] and the sixty-seventh-ranked [Silver Pupil], all of whom are Fourth-order Transcendents."

"Only two?" Gu Shen frowned, "There should be one more, more dangerous than the Poison Ghost."

"In the [Snow Cage], many people hide their interactions with others." Chu Ling paused, then said, "Very few are ranked ahead of the Poison Ghost, and according to data analysis, this person is likely in the top ten of the high-risk list... combined with the fragmentary images captured by the Heavenly Eye when the Iron Wall was destroyed, indeed one person escaped in the same direction as these three criminals."

"Sixth on the high-risk list, ’Yuan Zhong’. Extremely dangerous individual in the Deep Sea Eleventh Layer, ability ’Interstitial Cut’, trait-based, capable of space cutting, similar to the power of the Investigation Corps Team Captain."

"Trait-based, space cutting?"

Gu Shen squinted his eyes, he roughly understood where his previous sense of danger came from.

This is indeed a highly dangerous criminal, the Deep Sea Eleventh Layer... which is the minimum requirement for the team captains in the restart mission, and his currently barely reached the size of this Spirit Sea.

"Need to be careful..."

Information collection complete, Gu Shen’s expression was grave, but he did not forget to instruct, "This information is important, remember to remind Mu Qingyang through the Spiritual Link."

"Don’t worry. I’ve already completed the reminder."

Upon receiving this response.

Gu Shen nodded.

He reached into the campfire once again, grabbing a handful of Flowing Fire.

"Swish!"

The silent night was once again filled with a booming sound.

This handful of Flowing Fire was thrown high by Gu Shen, exploding in the sky like dazzling daytime fireworks. But after the rupture, countless streams of flames did not scatter, instead, they fell like a waterfall, transforming into a massive canopy, enveloping the entire camp—

Gu Shen released his "Chi Huo"!

At the same time.

His immense spiritual power, under the brilliant cover of this Blazing Flame explosion, instantly dispersed, enveloping the entire Red Sea!

He directly found the source of the released toxins!

A crouched, hunched figure was holding a strangely textured snuff bottle!

Gu Shen extended his hand in a virtual grasp, and an iron knife instantly condensed.

He looked towards the direction of the toxin source, his gaze was especially cold.

"Found you... Poison Ghost."

(The morning update is scheduled, I’m a bit dazed after waking up, thanks to the Silver Alliance "Ten Thousand Allure" for the reward! Because there is absolutely no stockpile, I can only work on it now. There will be an extra Chapter in the afternoon! Thanks again, boss!)
