My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 407 - 238: Sisters and Swimsuits

"Weapon?"

At dusk.

Yun Dian, Biji Mountain.

An elderly man, frail and weathered, was climbing the steps alongside a figure shrouded in mist, whose appearance was indistinct.

"Yes, weapon, a powerful weapon."

The figure, cloaked in black mist and whose appearance was unclear, nodded gently, his voice slightly sharp: "I think you need to pay attention, so I wanted to tell you."

"Attention? ... Where do you think advanced weapons came from?"

The old man suddenly chuckled softly at these words, gazing towards the approaching mountain top: "You think Kunlun and that clueless Luo Mountain could create it? Don’t dream, it’s the crystallization created by everyone in the Empowerer circle.

We intended it to replace the lower-level Empowerers, after all, who isn’t a bit of an idealist when young? ... Unfortunately, that weapon is difficult to make full use of. Did you know that I’m one of the designers of the advanced weapon prototype? Are you now trying to scare me with it? Drag me down with you? Do you really think I’ve become senile?"

As he spoke the last few words.

The elderly man turned to look at the figure beside him.

In an instant.

The black mist on the figure’s body began to flutter, as if forced to disperse with just a glance.

But the voice of the figure remained unchanged, the steps continued unfaltering, as he calmly replied: "I know, but what if they’ve improved the weapon?"

"Improve? How to improve?"

The old man scoffed: "You think I hadn’t thought of it back then? Don’t be naive. As long as the remaining compression device cannot be altered... then no matter how much effort is invested in other aspects, it’s all in vain. Even if you stuff in my Stone, it’s just an exquisite fire poker."

"...Actually, I don’t believe it, either."

Reached the mountain top.

The figure halted, gazing up at the grand yet tranquil beauty of the mountain forest illuminated by the dusk.

The old man stopped alongside, breathing evenly, saying: "Oh? You don’t believe it either? So you’re here to jest with me?"

"However."

The figure turned his head slowly, dispersing the black mist from his body to show sincerity.

As the black mist drifted away with the wind, a plain middle-aged face revealed itself: "Zhu Yong said he saw it with his own eyes... He failed, was directly expelled from the Illusion Dream of the view, yes, indeed... Jinling truly still harbors a view."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly lifted his eyelids: "Why? Isn’t Zhu Yong’s authority with the Five Emperors?"

He was shocked both by the fact Jinling still harbored a view and that the horse-faced man was expelled from the Illusion Dream of the view.

Zhu Yong is indeed the name of the horse-faced man.

"That’s exactly what I want to say."

The middle-aged man organized his words, recounting the horse-faced man’s tale.

Very detailed, even included how the Security Army replaced the Celestial Strategy Headquarters members to handle the anomaly in Jinling.

As he narrated, the old man’s expression began to change continuously.

About five minutes later.

"You understand, right?"

The plain-looking middle-aged man said softly: "The reason I found you is because countless pieces of evidence suggest the Security Army seems to have mastered a weapon more powerful than ’advanced’, a weapon that can even let the Celestial Strategy Mansion confidently... hand the legendary collective Burst of activated Jinling over to the Security Army."

"I don’t believe."

After a moment of silence upon hearing this, the old man slowly shook his head: "No one can change the Illusion Dream of the view, nor is there a weapon like that."

The middle-aged man directly asked: "Is there any news from Jinling right now?"

The old man paused, then squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the middle-aged man.

"There’s no news at all, right? Not only is there no news released, but several Celestial Strategy members still remain there, if it was just for the view’s matter, is it necessary to make such a big move?"

The middle-aged man said softly: "Doesn’t it all look odd? And what have the Security Army been doing recently? We don’t know, but don’t you? Have they been acting unusually? And the Chamomile Alliance, what have they sent people over suddenly for?"

"..."

The old man’s pupils suddenly narrowed, clearly recalling something.

"Seems like you’ve remembered something."

The middle-aged man noticed keenly but didn’t ask more; rather, he directly took out a photograph and handed it to the old man.

The old man glanced at the person in the photograph but didn’t reach out to take it; instead, he sneered suddenly: "...Did you know? The Stone taken away with Zhang Lianghu is still in Xia Yue’s hands."

Zhang Lianghu, was indeed the one who emerged in the incident of snatching people, then was hammered dead by Xia Yue, and finally had the Stone dug out.

"I know."

The middle-aged man nodded, still holding the photograph: "But if this matter is true, then it’s no longer as simple as just a death of Zhang Lianghu."

The old man squinted his eyes, looking towards the middle-aged man: "You want to kill off Chen Lusi at all costs?"

"Don’t know."

The middle-aged man shook his head: "That depends on you, if you consider it a threat, then at any cost. If you don’t, can hold your breath, then there’s no need.

We might just hide deep again, after all, even if the Security Army truly possesses a weapon more powerful than advanced, they cannot completely wipe us out, but you are different, you cannot leave, nor can hide; the upper echelons and Celestial Strategy Mansion won’t let you hide.

So, the choice is in your hands... But I have a small suggestion, I suggest you investigate quickly, perhaps now that weapon still depends on Chen Lusi, but afterward? No one knows."

Old man: "..."

He was silent for a long while, eventually squinting his eyes, reaching to take the photograph, lowering his gaze towards the person in the photo.
