Light Fortress Chapter 1925 - 14: White Robe

Wang Chong sat suspended above the sea outside Rhein Port, a pitch-black umbrella blocking the dawn’s light, enveloping him in darkness.

This was the best guard post arranged for him by [Deep Sea].

In front of him.

A dozen spiritual images flowed and reflected, free for him to choose from.

The entirety of Rhein City was in full view.

The black coffin sat within the courtyard of Chi Shou’s residence, cloaked by several layers of array patterns... Yet [Deep Sea]’s spiritual power still permeated within. The images in the courtyard were only slightly blurred, but still clear enough to see what was happening. Chi Shou sat facing the black coffin, obviously in a state of meditation.

Wang Chong’s expression was complex.

["This is not just your disciple’s mission, but also yours."]

As he left Upper City, the words of the dean echoed in his ears.

His Heart Lake had not been this chaotic for a long time.

Commissioned to come to Rhein, his mission had two parts.

First, to kill Ye Kaluo.

Second... to bring back Gu Xiaoman, whether alive or dead.

If, as the dean expected, Chi Shou brought the coffin back to Rhein to send Gu Xiaoman out of Central Continent... then he would have to slay his most beloved disciple in this sea as well!

"Xiao Chi..."

"I hope you won’t let me down."

Wang Chong silently watched the images sent into his Heart Sea by [Deep Sea].

He pondered another question.

If Lord Qinglong is handling the Divine War...

Then who gifted the dean the "Origin Power"?

After much thought.

He always felt that the "that lord" mentioned by the dean did not refer to Qinglong.

But in the vast Central Continent, who else but Qinglong could make the dean willingly bow his head?

Wang Chong furrowed his brows.

At this moment, the young man in the surveillance imagery suddenly stood up.

The communication with the [Dissolving Dream] had ended, and Chi Shou used his spirit power to levitate the coffin, carrying it on his back, and left his residence just like that.

...

...

"Was everything smooth?"

In the underground of Red Grape Building, Gu Li was savoring fine wine.

He lifted his glass, handing it to the man before him.

Chi Shou took the glass but did not drink, gently placing it on a side table.

"Smooth enough."

He said calmly, "I promised you that I would help you enter the Source Tower as an official priest."

Gu Li was taken aback.

Chi Shou looked up, glanced at the surveillance of the building, and asked softly, "Are you loyal to the Source Tower?"

"Loyalty..."

Gu Li smiled and said, "If the Source Tower is willing to take me under its wing, I would certainly be loyal."

"Good."

Chi Shou nodded and said, "That statement is almost enough."

"...?"

Before Gu Li could respond, a strong impact suddenly struck!

With a loud boom!

Unprepared, the wine glass shattered, and he was hit by the powerful force, flying backward nearly twenty meters, embedding into the alloy wall, completely unconscious.

Chi Shou’s chest burned with a scorching golden gleam.

The [Heart Realm] radiated with intense aftersmoke.

Who says Spiritual Transcendents are not skilled in attack?

If he truly wanted to kill.

He, Chi Shou, could kill faster than any fourth-tier in the academy, but thanks to his teacher’s teachings, he always held back a little.

Chi Shou glanced nonchalantly at Gu Li.

He silently mused, "This opportunity, it’s up to you to seize it."

The recent [Heart Realm] impact, though mighty, did not truly carry murderous intent.

What he intended was not to kill Gu Li.

Just to knock him down.

As Chi Shou’s ally, the fallen Gu Li... within this incident, had his stance and nature verified.

Central Continent is so lacking in people.

After this incident, there’s a high probability Gu Li will be offered a trial opportunity within Source Tower.

As for escorting him safely.

Chi Shou couldn’t do it anymore.

From the moment he struck, Chi Shou had, in essence, abandoned the "White Tiger Divine Envoy" trial, simultaneously betraying the Source Tower.

"Chi Shou, don’t do foolish things!"

Sitting cross-legged above the sea, Wang Chong’s expression turned extremely grim.

He directly used [Deep Sea] authority to take control of the Red Grape Building’s base system, then transmitted his voice.

Chi Shou slowly looked up, gazing meaningfully at the camera in Red Grape Building.

Wang Chong, separated by thousands of meters, locked eyes with his disciple.

"Teacher, you know me well."

Chi Shou smiled and said, "I am a fool, naturally... I only do foolish things."

Crack!

The [Heart Realm] radiance flared up again, and this time, all of Wang Chong’s spiritual projections extinguished.

Before setting off to Upper City.

Chi Shou had already been arranging things.

He knew who his enemy was.

The terrifying aspect of [Deep Sea] is that it controls all information across Five Continents, showing the public only what it wants them to see.

But today’s arrangement, the core was to let [Deep Sea] see... what Chi Shou wanted [Deep Sea] to see.

So he had long sought out [Heavenly Eye]’s arrangement, infusing each with a trace of [Heart Realm] power.

At this moment.

The [Heart Realm] power erupted!

All Wang Chong’s surveillance views shattered.

The massive black umbrella hovering above the sea abruptly contracted, transforming into a pitch-black long blade, and Wang Chong stood on the blade, breaking through the waves, rushing toward Rhein City direction!

Before departing, the dean warned him not to intervene too much.

But now, he couldn’t wait any longer.
