Gu Xiaoman is reunited with Alf and a transformed Gu Shen, who explains his new form. Gu Xiaoman reveals that Bai Xiu was injured during a fight with Lie Renuo, who has gained the power of origin from the Deep Sea. Lu Nanzhi assures them that Bai Xiu is recuperating and Gu Xiaoman is safe.

Relying on the gift, a small wisp of Origin Power was obtained in an extremely short time.

Indeed.

This could be considered a form of "promotion."

But such a "promotion" is ultimately powerless.

"No wonder, Little Xiuzi could successfully save people..."

Gu Shen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If Lie Renuo truly comprehended the origin power by his own capability, Master Bai Xiu’s endeavor would have been fraught with danger.

"Not only successfully saving people."

Lu Nanzhi said, "It’s said that on the Central Continent, Lie Renuo was also seriously injured."

"Master Bai Xiu cut off one of that old thing’s arms!"

Gu Xiaoman said fiercely, "Although Master Bai Xiu was injured, that guy must be even worse off, probably still in seclusion recovering now!"

That battle...

She didn’t watch much.

After Bai Xiu intercepted Lie Renuo, the two top Titled ones each deployed their domains, each shrouding a part of the sea.

Bai Xiu wanted to save people, and Lie Renuo wanted to kill.

As for the key to this situation, Gu Xiaoman naturally ran away without looking back.

"Lie Renuo."

Gu Shen silently memorized this name.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t return to the continent now, otherwise the mission to rescue Xiaoman would naturally be his responsibility.

Relying on the origin power bestowed by Deep Sea, barely completing a promotion, Gu Shen didn’t regard him at all.

Someone like Lie Renuo.

One comes, he kills one! Two come, he kills both!

"Xiao Gu."

Lu Nanzhi said softly, "Bai Xiu saved not just Xiaoman this time."

"Hmm?"

Gu Shen was slightly startled.

"The location of this conflict was in the inner sea of Rhein City, which is Ye Kaluo’s stationed area..."

He quickly reacted and asked, "With Deep Sea issuing a warrant against the Ancient Literature Society, Ye Kaluo was bound to be affected, is she still alive?"

"You guessed right, she’s still alive."

The lady smiled, "Little Xiuzi saved her too, but this time not just her... also."

"Also?"

Gu Shen was a bit confused.

If that’s the case, he couldn’t guess anymore either.

["Upper City has decided to make a deal with the Storm Church..."]

["Upper City will provide ample Strong Logic Material, as well as a medium-sized Cloud Ship, in return, the Storm Church must ensure the safe escort of the biggest traitor under the Source Tower, the Red Dragon Envoy. The deal is set for a meeting in five days, Upper City will send someone to the Ice Sea to personally check the ’Red Dragon’s’ condition."]

A scene was broadcasted in the Spiritual Link.

The speaker was the Titled one of the Holy Cross Academy of Upper City.

[Sky Blade] Wang Chong.

Lu Nanzhi smiled, "Besides Gu Xiaoman and Ye Kaluo, Little Xiuzi also brought back two ’informants’ from Upper City this time."

With Deep Sea implementing an information blockade on the Central Continent.

But with the existence of Wang Chong, the recent plans and arrangements of Upper City were visible at a glance.

Lie Renuo’s move in the inner sea left Wang Chong in despair.

He was very clear.

If Bai Xiu hadn’t appeared... he and Chi Shou would have been taken back to the Source Tower for punishment, the opportunity couldn’t be missed, Wang Chong simply took advantage of the intense battle between those two and escaped Rhein City with Chi Shou.

And having fled from the Central Continent, betraying Upper City, there was only one place to go.

That was to join the Three Continent Alliance!

"The trade between the Source Tower and the Storm Church, within the high ranks of Upper City, is no secret, to show sincerity, Spring Plow Saint has already sent the exact coordinates of where Red Dragon is being held to the Upper City before the trade."

Lu Nanzhi said solemnly, "With the Storm God’s Throne overseeing, they aren’t concerned about coordinate leaks."

"Indeed..."

Gu Shen frowned, "Rescuing the Red Dragon, it’s very difficult."

"It’s almost impossible..."

Lu Nanzhi said helplessly, "On our side, it has been decided to compromise with the Storm Church, offering more chips than Upper City to exchange for the ’Red Dragon’."

This is an action out of necessity.

But also an inevitable action.

If the Storm God’s Throne decides to escape the Southern Continent with the core members of the church.

Then the Red Dragon is their final bargaining chip.

This deal is fundamentally unequal, no one can confirm the final outcome...

Perhaps all the efforts will turn into nothing.

But, you have to save him.
