Chapter 53 – Traverser Organization?
**February 8, Year 64: A familiar face visited your courtyard—Song Chengming. Over sixty years have passed, and he is now a Three Decays Heaven-Human. You were very surprised to see him, not expecting the Song family's leading figure of the new generation to still be alive.**
**After some conversation, you learned the purpose of Song Chengming's visit.**
**He was sent by Emperor Guangwu to bring you to Si Prefecture to serve the court.**
**You understood that in the current tense situation, Song Chengming, as a noble of Great Wei, coming to Medicine King Valley meant you had no room to refuse.**
**You asked Song Chengming why the Song family was destroyed.**
**He remained silent.**
**He did not answer you.**
A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.
**February 17, Year 64: You entered the Imperial City and met Emperor Guangwu of Wei, Jiang Yan. After observing you for a while, he directly revealed your identity as an Outer Realm Demon.**
**You were greatly shocked.**
**Considering the reforms in Great Wei, you almost suspected King Qin to be the mastermind.**
**But you understood that a figure like King Qin couldn't be the mastermind. Sending only one True Lake Stage to intercept the escort team didn't match the cautious style of the mastermind. You knew this must be information leaked by that fellow traveler.**
**You asked, "Your Majesty, could you tell me that person's name?"**
**Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Of course, but first, tell me what your abilities are."**
**Hearing this, you instantly realized that the mastermind also had a golden finger.**
**However, you were puzzled. With King Qin's status as a Heaven-Human Powerhouse, there was no need to ask you directly; he could just use mind-reading. Why did he seem to be deliberately revealing information to you?**
**You replied, "I can see some future scenes."**
**Jiang Yan looked at you with interest, "In the future, does Great Wei have any powerhouses beyond the Heaven-Human Realm?"**
**Hearing this, you were a bit surprised.**
**When you first arrived, you suspected that Jiang Yan, who could kill three Five Decays Heaven-Humans, might have already broken through beyond the Heaven-Human Realm. But it seems that is not the case.**
**You shook your head and said, "I don't know. I can only see future information related to myself."**
**Jiang Yan nodded and asked what information you knew.**
**You revealed all the means the mastermind used to plot against you: intercepting the escort team, dying in the Inner Court, death in the deep mountains, and demon riots.**
**After hearing this, Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing through.**
**After a while.**
**He told you that he also didn't know the true identity of the mastermind. The other party was very cautious and always used a puppet to communicate during their cooperation.**
**You were somewhat disappointed.**
**And a bit suspicious, doubting that Jiang Yan wasn't telling the truth.**
**But then, Jiang Yan revealed a piece of shocking news.**
**The mastermind is also an Outer Realm Demon, and behind him is suspected to be a force composed of Outer Realm Demons. They are in a life-and-death adversarial relationship with the force you belong to, which is why he is so intent on killing you, as there are benefits to be gained from it.**
Upon hearing this, Chen Shi was shocked.
Are there factions among travelers?
In his two and a half years of traversing, he had always been fighting alone and had never seen any factions.
Could it be that the organization left him behind?
At this moment, Chen Shi suddenly thought of the Youth with Glasses in the Spirit Clan Paradise.
And the Cowboy Man's corpse.
Could they possibly be from the same organization as him?
"When I entered the Spirit Clan Paradise, judging by the Cowboy Man's corpse's decay, he shouldn't have been dead for long. Next time I simulate, if there's another chance to enter the Spirit Clan Paradise, I should try to contact the Cowboy Man. Maybe I can get some information about the organization..."
Chen Shi murmured.
Now he somewhat understood why the mastermind was always so wary of showing his face.
Because the other party also believed he had a backing force.
If his identity were exposed and he was killed.
It might attract the pursuit of other members of his faction.
After all, among travelers, mutual hunting is suspected to yield some kind of reward.
Jiang Yan telling him this was probably also because he thought Chen Shi had a "faction" behind him, hoping to use this to create trouble for the mastermind, or better yet, eliminate this unstable factor. Although the two were in a cooperative state, they seemed to be playing tricks on each other.
**You were greatly shaken by this revelation.**
**You didn't expect Jiang Yan to know so many secrets about the mastermind.**
**Finally, Jiang Yan also revealed to you that the scarred Elderly Man who captured you in the teahouse last year might know the mastermind's true identity.**
**You nodded, then tried to inquire about the identity of the demon cultivator and the reason for the four major sects attacking Si Prefecture.**
**Jiang Yan smiled without speaking, not answering you.**
**You asked again about the Song family's destruction.**
**Jiang Yan still did not answer, indicating that you should ask the demon cultivator about this issue.**
**Then, he ended the conversation with you.**
**In the days that followed, you were confined to the palace by Jiang Yan, treated with good food and drink. Jiang Yan displayed an otherworldly version of humanitarian spirit, summoning two stunning princesses to serve you, and subtly hinted that you had three months to leave a bloodline or try to send out some information...**
**With death approaching, you chose to indulge yourself.**
**May 10, Year 64: After working day and night, the two princesses were both pregnant.**
**A few days later, under the complex gazes of the princesses, you followed Jiang Yan out of the palace.**
**You swallowed a pill given by Jiang Yan.**
**You fell into a deep sleep...**
**In your sleep...**
**In your sleep...**
**You were being soul-searched...**
**You died.**
Reading the simulation text, Chen Shi silently digested the massive amount of information gained this time and formulated a plan in his mind.
1. Find the scarred Elderly Man with a mole on his chin.
2. Figure out the reason for his mysterious death in the Inner Court three years later.
3. Secretly monitor Elder Wang to see who is passing him secret messages.
4. Lin Qiushui will mysteriously disappear at Cloud Moon Pavilion in a few days. Find a way to uncover the reason for her disappearance without alerting anyone.
5. Pay attention to the downfall of the Spirit Sword Sect.
6. Try to contact the Cowboy Man and Youth with Glasses in the Spirit Clan Paradise.
7. Obtain the Heaven-Mending Pill Recipe and try to cultivate his own force to have the strength to contend with the mastermind after leaving the Spirit Clan Paradise.
8. Acquire the Ancient Teleportation Talisman from Gu He.
9. Act low-key to prevent the Song family's destruction and Song Fan's demise.
**Ding! Generating simulation rewards, the host can choose one.**
**① Perfected Bone Refining Stage cultivation (including Supreme Silver Bones).**
**② White Talent · Old Longevity Star.**
**③ Heaven-Mending Pill Recipe.**
**④ 125 Longevity Pills (Profound Grade - High Quality).**
Due to the long stay in the Spirit Clan Paradise, the available rewards this time were few.
However, Chen Shi was somewhat surprised that Master Gu He's Ancient Teleportation Talisman didn't appear, possibly because he crushed and used it during the simulation.
"System, I choose ①."
As Chen Shi made his choice.
The next moment, a powerful surge of vital qi and blood erupted from his body.
His cultivation began to soar.
Supreme Iron Bones!
Supreme Bronze Bones!
Supreme Silver Bones!
Upon reaching Supreme Silver Bones, he felt his perception becoming sharper.
When breaking through Iron Bones, he could vaguely sense some colorful gases, like thin veils at the edge of his consciousness, elusive and hard to touch. But now, with his eyes closed, he could clearly sense the presence of these gases. They were no longer blurry shadows but flowed around him as if tangible.
Could this be what is called talent?
