290 Chapter 290 exploration
At daybreak, the place where the building of great Zhou was located had already turned into a smoking ruin. The entire building of great Zhou seemed to have experienced a catastrophe.
The terrifyingly large pit that was left behind at the underground secret room of the building of great Zhou was like a cooled volcano.
The entire courtyard, the entire tower of great Zhou, and all the buildings inside were all crushed, collapsed, and then burned to ashes. Not a single blade of grass was left.
Among the broken bricks and tiles, some smoking logs were still telling the horror of last night. The street was wet and full of traces left by the fire. The police had already cordoned off the area. Some policemen were maintaining order at the scene with solemn looks. Passers-by were all looking around with curiosity as they didn’t know what had happened. However, nobody dared to stay and watch the fun.
The buildings next to the Duke of Zhou building were more or less affected.
By the time the first rays of the morning sun shone on the ruins of the building of great Zhou, a black carriage with the symbol of the adjudicator Army came from the distance and stopped beside the cordon.
The driver got out of the car and opened the door.
Xia Pingan, who had changed into a new Black coat and restored her original appearance, was the first to get out of the car with the scepter of judgment in hand.
Xia ping ‘an, who got off the carriage, did not go far. Instead, he stood beside the carriage and extended his hand to respectfully help the old priest Bai Zhu get off the carriage.
Priest Bai Zhu was still wearing a long white robe. As the God’s chosen priest of the adjudicator Army, priest Bai Zhu’s entire temperament seemed to be stern and inviolable.
This was the second time Xia ping ‘an had come into contact with priest Bai Zhu. The last time Xia ping’ an had joined the adjudicator Army, it was priest Bai Zhu who was responsible for the test of the dripping blood heart. In the end, it was also priest Bai Zhu who recommended Xia ping ‘an to join the Shadow Guard.
When Xia Pingan left this place last night, he didn’t go anywhere else. Instead, he went straight to the main camp of the adjudicator Union because that was the safest place.
Last night’s assassination was strange, terrifying, unpredictable, and dangerous. Xia Pingan did not even know who the assassin was. However, he was sure of one thing-his identity in Sun City had definitely been exposed. The assassin was after Xia Pingan, not Sun City. Sun City was aloof from worldly affairs and did not have any enemies or karma in Shangjing city. He was the only one who had many enemies in Shangjing city.
Right now, the people who wanted his life the most were the bloody demon church, the Huang family, and the garrison troops that he had offended. Or perhaps Yao had Chang Li chaoming. However, Xia Pingan felt that Yao had Chang Li chaoming’s abilities and lacked the courage.
So, who was it? The timing of the assassination was so accurate, and the attack was so terrifying.
If he didn’t figure this out, Xia ping ‘an knew that he would probably be assassinated one after another, and it would be difficult for him to live in peace.
During the assassination last night, Xia Pingan’s life was hanging by a thread. He had been on the brink of death three times. The first time was during the assassination. If Xia Pingan was still fusing with the realm Pearl at that time, he would definitely be dead. The second time was during the explosion in the secret chamber. At that time, Xia Pingan would also die if he did not handle the situation properly. The third time was when Xia Pingan rushed out of the secret chamber. If he did not foresee the killing intent outside and set up a trap instead, he would have died. At this moment, he was most likely already crushed and buried in the void.
When the assassination came last night, the Child of Fortune was not by Xia Pingan’s side. By the time the Child of Fortune arrived, the assassin had disappeared without leaving any aura behind. Hence, Xia Pingan did not know where the assassin had gone.
As an inspector of the adjudicating Army, he had been publicly assassinated in Shangjing city. The adjudicating Army could not ignore this matter, be it for public or private reasons. They could not just ignore it. Therefore, Xia Pingan went directly to the adjudicating Army to ” complain “. This was the benefit of being ” organized. he did not have to shoulder everything himself. When necessary, he could ask the organization for help.
The result was that Lin Yi had directly sent priest Bai Zhu to accompany Xia ping ‘an to investigate the scene.
As the God’s chosen priest of the adjudicator Army and the dark church of war, priest Bai Zhu’s ability was extremely mysterious to the outside world. Even Xia ping ‘an didn’t know what kind of ability this old man had that could make Lin Yi hand over the task of investigating the killer to him.
Priest Bai Zhu gently held Xia ping ‘an’s hand and got off the carriage. As soon as they got off the carriage, priest Bai Zhu closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the air here. He sighed softly and said, ” what a powerful aura of the void God Thunder. after saying that, priest Bai Zhu glanced at Xia ping’ an and nodded gently. you are really lucky to be alive. The power of the void God Thunder is very strong. Few people below the seven Suns realm can resist it. Even steel and stone would be instantly turned into powder. Some of the more powerful void divine lightning can even annihilate a Suan ni,”
what exactly is the void God Thunder that you mentioned? how can it be so powerful? ” Xia ping ‘an asked humbly. He really didn’t know what the void God lightning was, but with the principle of being responsible for his own life, Xia ping’ an definitely wouldn’t be ashamed to ask.
the divine Thunder of the void is just a remnant thought, ” the White bamboo priest said as he stepped past the police’s blockade line, crossed the broken bricks and wood on the ground, and walked towards the inside of the Duke of Zhou building. Xia Pingan supported him with the well-behaved appearance of a junior disciple, afraid that the White bamboo priest would fall. The White bamboo priest smiled and waved his hand, ” don’t help me. I’m not that old yet, darling.
hahaha, I’ll have to trouble you to come all the way here for me. You’re a treasure of the ruling Army. If you get hurt, I won’t be able to bear the consequences. Xia Pingan laughed as well. what kind of remnant spirit is the void God Thunder you mentioned? it’s too terrifying.
that’s the remnant thoughts of gods. Gods also fight with anger and killing intent. It’s said that when gods fight and are angry, wisps of remnant thoughts will condense in the void and form a physical manifestation. Then, they will be absorbed by the chaotic crystal. After the chaotic crystal absorbs the remnant thoughts of gods ‘anger, it becomes the void holy thunder!
Xia ping ‘an sucked in a breath of cold air. He had only heard of the gods in this world, but he had never felt or seen them. He did not expect that he would almost have intimate contact with the ” remnant will ” of the gods last night and almost be annihilated.
the anger and killing intent of the gods condensed into the void divine Thunder? ”
otherwise, what kind of thing do you think can easily destroy the Masters of the seven Suns realm? if you’re lucky, you can find some of these things in the void mystery realm. The void God Thunder that was used to kill you last night should be very weak, and the area it affected is not large. The strongest void God Thunder can cover a radius of 100 miles. If you encounter that kind of divine Thunder, you won’t be able to escape, ” the White bamboo priest rolled her eyes at Xia Pingan and stepped over a pile of broken bricks and puddles. In a split second, he had already walked to the front of the half-burnt horizontal board at the entrance of the building.
The plaque was broken. The original two plaques that read ” dreams come true at night, spirits foretell good fortune and misfortune ” were only left with some fragments. On the fragments, the words ” dreams come true ” and ” foretell good fortune and misfortune ” could be barely seen. Priest Bai Zhu lowered his head and looked at the two fragments on the ground with interest, ” hehe, you’re quite capable. You can actually occupy dreams? ”
“Ah, I, zhanmeng, am just trying to make a living. I don’t have any abilities!” Xia ping ‘an said humbly as he continued to search with priest Bai Zhu. Then, he seized the opportunity to ask, ” you just said that the divine Thunder of the void is so powerful that it can cover a radius of a hundred miles. If the evil people of the bloody demon church use the divine Thunder of the void to cause trouble in Shangjing city, wouldn’t one divine Thunder of the void destroy the entire Shangjing city? ”
“Hehe, when have you ever seen the ground beneath our feet being destroyed by lightning?” Priest Bai Zhu asked, ” the so-called void divine Thunder can only exert its power in the void. Once it touches the ground, the power of the void divine Thunder will be absorbed and dissipated by the earth. Its power will be greatly reduced, and less than one in a hundred will survive. Therefore, those who die in the void divine Thunder are all capable of flying in the sky and burrowing underground. The next time you encounter the void divine Thunder, you will be fine as long as you can land on the ground in time!
Xia ping ‘an let out a long breath and said sincerely, ” Oh, I know. Thank you for explaining. The next time I see you, I will definitely stay far away!
As they talked, they passed by the ruins of the Duke of Zhou building and came to the huge underground pit left in the backroom step by step.
The huge pit was over 10 m deep. Everything in the underground backroom had been destroyed. Even the rocks in the huge pit had been melted and turned into pitch-black reefs after being cooled down by magma. Those soil had completely hardened in high temperature and turned into big, red hard blocks.
In this huge pit, there was a small pit which was deeper than 10 m. Like a well, it was filled with water.
“Did the assassin first appear from here?” Priest Bai Zhu came to the bottom of the pit, looked around, and asked directly.
yes, I was preparing to cultivate when the assassin suddenly appeared from behind the rock wall of the secret chamber and attacked me. However, the assassin was not a human but a summoned creature. Under my attack, the assassin even split into two, one as a martial artist and the other as a Summoner. Later, he even exploded in the underground secret chamber. This was the first time I’ve seen such a summoned creature. I wonder what realm bead can summon such a thing, hehe.
it came out from behind the wall and even exploded. Interesting!
As priest Bai Zhu spoke, he moved his hand, and a soul crystal ball appeared in it. Holding the crystal ball, priest Bai Zhu walked around the pit as if he was investigating a crime scene. He mumbled a strange phrase that only he could understand. Black fog rolled in the crystal ball, and slowly, a blurry figure appeared in the black fog. The figure was very similar to the one Xia Pingan had met in the underground secret chamber last night. He was also holding a dagger. There were also some colorful and strange line segments that were rolling and changing.
“The one who attacked you in the secret room was an assassin summoned by the Assassin’s realm bead?” The White bamboo priest said to Xia Pingan as she stared at the crystal ball in her hand.
