Chapter 649: Addressing

More than an hour later, an Off-road vehicle stopped at the foot of Qingding Mountain.

Chen Chuan and Chang Dong stepped out.

Chen Chuan said, "This place might be suitable."

Chang Dong looked up, then around, Judging, "The location is remote and the terrain is high. This looks good. Let's go up and take a look."

The two of them followed the stone steps to the top of Qingding Mountain. Chen Chuan said, "This is the Moshen Temple I was talking about."

Chang Dong looked at it and said, "Judging by the style, the incense here must have been burning for at least several hundred years, right? But the main structure of this building should have been rebuilt in recent decades." He stomped his foot. "The materials used are really solid. It's enough to make a martial arts practice field."

Chen Chuan nodded. Moshen Temple originally had a Martial Artist lineage. He and San Cheng Huang had sparred here before. The ground around them, where two Third-Limit Martial Artist had competed, was still very well-maintained, which showed that a lot of special materials had been used in the initial construction.

Chang Dong wasn't in a hurry to go in. He stood here and looked into the distance, discovering that most of Central City could be seen. This should be one of the highest places in Central City.

He said, "It is indeed good. Just looking at this, it is very suitable as a base, but..."

Chen Chuan followed his gaze. What Chang Dong was referring to was clearly not the statue itself.

Empty is relative to full. He said, "Mr. Chang, are you saying there used to be something inside?"

Chang Dong nodded and said, "There are still many beliefs in gods in various places. During the Quiet Period, this kind of worship is just a sustenance for Spirit and the soul, but during the Transition Period, it is very possible for certain existences to appear.

Some of them came from the opposite world along the Fissure, and some were born in our local world after the two worlds approached. There should have been such an existence in this statue before..."

Chen Chuan wasn't surprised by this. After all, he used to come into contact with Supernatural Entity Anomaly often, and he was considered an expert in this area. These things are often related to religion and sacrifice.

Chang Dong walked a few steps forward, looked at the incense on the altar, and rubbed it with his fingers. "Concentration incense. Someone should have been trying to gather Spiritual Power here in recent months. Perhaps because of this, the existence inside was taken away. If an existence that has been worshiped for a long time senses that its dwelling place is no longer reliable, sometimes it will follow the incense."

"Recent months..."

Chen Chuan looked at the incense and couldn't help but think of the time when the Heavenly Gate opened three months ago. He turned his head and asked, "Mr. Chang, will this have any Influence?"

Chang Dong said, "It's hard to say." He looked at the statue. "Perhaps only those who made offerings at that time will know."

After looking for a while, he turned around. "This place is suitable, but we are Purist Faction after all. Taking an old religious site as a base is a bit inappropriate, and..." He touched his stomach. "I think it will cost a lot to take this place and rebuild it. Why don't we look at other places too?"

Chen Chuan smiled and said okay.

After leaving here, the Off-road vehicle traversed the city and arrived at the edge of Flourishing Victory District, stopping in front of a small hill.

This time, Chen Chuan brought Chang Dong to the place where Instructor Wu used to live.

"This used to be a residential open area, but it was later completely abandoned. One of my Wuyi teacher used to live on this hill. Well, he still lives there now."

Chang Dong looked at it. All that was left was a burnt ruin. He said, "Should we not disturb him?"

"I don't think he'll mind."

The two of them came to the top of the hill. Under the constant wind, there wasn't much left here.

Chang Dong looked out and said with certainty, "This place should have been contaminated by something."

Chen Chuan said, "I checked the situation of this area. Originally, Molan Company planned to develop this area into a commercial district, but later Molan Company itself had some problems, and people who came here inexplicably contracted some kind of strange disease, so this place was abandoned again."

Chang Dong looked at his feet. He bent down, reached out, and grabbed a handful of dirt, seemingly feeling something. After a while, he stood up and clapped his hands.

"There should have been something planted under here."

"Something?"

"That's right." Chang Dong circled his hand. "This thing is very big. It should be a plant, and its roots are all over this area. If I'm not mistaken..." He stomped his foot. "There should still be cavities formed by the roots underground, and there are residues, so it continues to Influence the surrounding area."

Chen Chuan said, "What could it be?"

Chang Dong shook his head and said, "It's hard to say without seeing it, but it's nothing more than something from the Convergence Zone or a biological laboratory." He looked at Chen Chuan again. "Logically speaking, your Processing Bureau should have records of this."

Chen Chuan said, "I checked, but the time is too long ago, and many files have been sealed. At that time, my position was low, and I couldn't access them. I'll go back and look again."

Chang Dong waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't find it. This thing is long gone. This should just be a breeding and incubation ground for it. These invasions have almost no Influence on us Martial Artist . Spending one night in the Convergence Zone is more invasive than spending a year here."

He hmm'd, as if he was calculating something. After a while, he touched his stomach and said, "I think this is it. It's remote and has a large area. These invasions still have a deterrent effect on ordinary people, which is just right to act as a barrier.

Moreover, no one has been interested in this area for at least twenty or thirty years. I think this area should be cheaper? After all, the funds allocated above are limited, and I have to save some money."

Chen Chuan said, "If there's anything I can help with, Mr. Chang, please let me know. I am also a Purist Faction member."

"I can take care of these chores, Supervisor Chen. Don't worry about it," Chang Dong said with a smile. "Our comrade should be here in the next few days. It's enough to have her help me."

Chen Chuan didn't force it. He indeed had a lot of things to do, and the existence of this base was never a matter of funding and location, but still martial power.

Therefore, as long as he cultivates diligently and increases Strength, he will be of the greatest help to the faction.

"The base is settled then. I have another matter here." Chang Dong looked at him, his voice a little more serious. "I also have a task to fulfill when I come here, and I need to explain it to Supervisor Chen clearly."

Chen Chuan said, "Please speak."

Chang Dong said, "I told Supervisor Chen before that our Purist Faction branch here was almost wiped out because of a target?"

Chen Chuan nodded.

Chang Dong sighed. "That target was actually a member of our Purist Faction, and someone we were very optimistic about and vigorously cultivating.

At that time, he did some bad things, but some high-level members of the faction, because of his talent and ability, believed that with proper cultivation, he could become a pillar of the faction in the future, so his behavior was tolerated, and only some symbolic punishments were given.

But this person later became more and more excessive, and many of his actions had crossed the bottom line that we could tolerate, so we finally organized people to arrest him."

He shook his head and said, "You know the result. The faction had already paid a lot of attention to him, but they didn't expect that they had still underestimated him. After this battle, the branch and the personnel sent by the faction were almost completely annihilated.

Later, someone in the faction replayed the situation. If he wanted to leave, no one could have stopped him at that time. He deliberately revealed his whereabouts."

Chen Chuan "s eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately understood that if this was the case, it was not a Counterattack after being besieged, but a premeditated massacre.

He asked, "I wonder what this person's cultivation level is?"

Chang Dong said in a deep voice, "Fifteen years ago, he was not yet twenty years old, and his Spirit and body had already reached a perfect level. With his talent, he may have already crossed that threshold now."

Chen Chuan said, "If he can cross it, then he must need someone to support him behind him."

He thought of Chen Bitong in his heart. With his talent, he couldn't break through that boundary without sufficient resources.

Chang Dong said, "Let's not talk about him for now. Due to the dangerous nature of this target, someone in the faction is currently responsible for searching and hunting him down.

What I want to say is that since the branch was almost completely wiped out at that time, the real situation is no longer clear.

Most of the bodies of these comrades were found at the scene, but one person was missing. Later, he was never found. Most people believed that he had sacrificed himself elsewhere.

But recently, someone discovered his whereabouts. Through some channels, we sensed that he may still be in Central City, so we need to find him and ask about the situation inside."

With that, he took out a photo and said, "This is the person."

Chen Chuan took the photo and looked at it. It was a young man in his twenties with a long face, squinting and grinning, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He was wearing an orange-yellow spotted collar shirt, looking like a very confident and funny person.

But if this photo was taken more than ten years ago, this person would be around forty years old now.

There was a name on the back of the photo: "Tian Rui ."

He said, "I'll keep an eye out."

Chang Dong said, "Well, it should be easier for the Processing Bureau to find people. There is no time limit for this matter. Fifteen years have passed, so there is no rush, but..."

He sighed. "We always have to give an explanation to those comrades from back then."

Chen Chuan nodded.

Chang Dong looked around and said, "Let's go back first."

Chen Chuan got into his car and returned to the residence in Martial Determination District. After getting out at the door, he said goodbye to Chang Dong and returned to the residence.

After entering the living room, he picked up the box of Pure Essence placed in the corner and went upstairs.

He thought to himself, this Pure Essence should be enough, but although this is solved, the Cultivation on Spirit still needs to be pondered.

It would be best if there was a Fissure. He had heard Senior Brother Cao say that there were Secret Storehouse in the wild, and those places might have Fissure. If necessary, he might be able to go there to find one.

But besides that, there is actually a possibility.

He put down the box and looked at a corner of the room.

There, the still slumbering Snow Emperor Blade was placed.
