253: Chapter 252 The Territory of the God of War, The Kingdom of the Tyrant
"Chu Xuan, has your Talent taken effect?!"
Seeing Tang Zheng bring Chu Xuan to the cockpit, Xu Shuya and Tan Ziming immediately looked joyful and asked impatiently.
"Around 6:50, we are about to undergo Transmigration to another world. There will be space turbulence then; we can only survive by grabbing onto Tang Zheng..."
Chu Xuan recounted some of the precautions he had learned from [Future Tang Zheng].
Although these two had come along with He Jun, in the previous dream, they were willing to lend their spirituality value to him after all.
Although Chu Xuan didn't end up needing it, he didn't mind giving them a few pointers for it.
As for whether what followed would be a blessing or a curse, that would depend on each person's own fortune.
"Exchanging languages... System tasks... Disguised identities must not be detected by the natives..."
Hearing Chu Xuan's words, both of them were filled with shock and disbelief. Xu Shuya looked thoughtful and suddenly looked up, saying:
"Doesn't this sound extremely similar to how Specters come to our world? But the difference is that Specters need to exist through parasitism, otherwise they'll be erased by the rules, while we need to maintain an identity disguise..."
Chu Xuan had also thought of this, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Tan Ziming's body trembled as he gasped, "In that case, we shouldn't go even more. The monsters in that world look even more terrifying than the ones appearing in ours, especially those huge tentacles nearly a thousand meters long and that mountain-like demon phantom, not to mention other unknowns..."
"Anyone at Rank 3 or above will definitely be teleported." Chu Xuan glanced at Tan Ziming and said calmly, "Or you could try an emergency parachute jump from here."
Tan Ziming's face instantly turned pale. He looked outside at the thunderclouds and lightning; the plane was completely out of control now, and going out would be almost certain death.
Xu Shuya immediately had someone record this information, then set about checking the relevant weapons and equipment, specifically collecting more Thermobaric Grenades.
Chu Xuan glanced at her with some surprise.
Xu Shuya explained, "I know we need to disguise our identities, but these things are very convenient to carry and use, and their power is impressive. They might come in handy at a critical moment."
Hearing this, Chu Xuan nodded and didn't say more. He directly took out a Spirit Bead and absorbed all 530 points of spirituality value inside it.
Then he spent 1,040 points of spirituality value to max out his stamina attribute, reaching 104 points, finally leaving 310 points of spirituality value for emergencies.
They might face space turbulence next. Although he already knew that grabbing Tang Zheng would prevent him from being shredded, adding more stamina couldn't hurt.
He glanced at the time; two minutes remained. His expression grew slightly solemn as he warned, "Get ready!"
The fuselage shook violently. Outside, the thunderstorm flashed wildly and roared incessantly, nearly deafening everyone. Everyone became subconsciously nervous.
Chu Xuan immediately grabbed Tang Zheng's right arm, while Xu Shuya grabbed his left arm.
Tan Ziming looked left and right, and finally had no choice but to hug Tang Zheng's waist.
"What the... You aren't from Rongcheng, are you?"
Tang Zheng warned with a cold face, "You'd better pick another spot, or don't blame me for kicking you!"
"Don't worry, Brother Zheng, I'm an authentic Old Beijinger, through and through!"
Tan Ziming immediately backed down and hugged Tang Zheng's thigh instead. "You absolutely cannot leave me behind..."
The thunderstorm grew more and more intense.
In the next moment, a brilliant light flashed. Chu Xuan felt the surrounding scene blur instantly, with countless lines of light flickering and interlacing, until only the four of them remained.
Everyone's body was twisting like ripples, and an indescribable tearing force came, as if it wanted to shatter him into pieces.
Amidst the spinning world, Chu Xuan held onto Tang Zheng tightly without letting go. He saw Tan Ziming and Xu Shuya's bodies twisting as well.
"Ah!!"
Tang Zheng had the lowest Rank and the weakest attributes; he was the first who couldn't help but cry out. Even though he was right beside them, the sound seemed to come from hundreds of meters away.
A burst of light enveloped him; he had used his Fighting God Talent.
Immediately after, a golden light came from nowhere and enveloped Tang Zheng, covering Chu Xuan and the other two as well.
The tearing sensation instantly eased a lot, but this golden light seemed to possess a strange power. When Chu Xuan was enveloped, he felt his blood boil and a strong desire to fight.
This surge of hot blood almost overwhelmed his mind, making his expression dazed. As his consciousness blurred, he noticed that Tang Zheng, Tan Ziming, and Xu Shuya had all fainted at some point.
Finally, Chu Xuan couldn't hold on any longer and fell into endless darkness.
...
At the same time, news of the plane's disappearance quickly reached Haicheng.
Zhang Qiang immediately began arranging for pilots to conduct a search along the route.
He looked out at the sky, stepping on a B-rank Ghost that had just had its head chopped off, rubbing his bruised face and exhaling a long plume of smoke.
"You two brats, you absolutely must not let anything happen to you!"
Luo Xiaotian walked over while making a call and reported in a deep voice, "Uncle Qiang, we've found more newly ascended Transcendents causing trouble. They all obtained Transcendent Skills during this S-Rank event. They've gathered a group of fanatics and are claiming they want to be Homelanders..."
Zhang Qiang's face turned slightly cold. "Take some people over and throw some cold water on them. Give those who listen another chance, recruit those who are sensible, and execute those who aren't thinking clearly on the spot."
While speaking, Zhang Qiang took out his work phone and sent the same message to the work group, "@-ing" the four Inspection Team Leaders.
"The state is further decentralizing power to the Night Watchers, which means the situation is becoming increasingly severe..."
Zhang Qiang took a deep breath. On his phone, a chat record that had just been sent was a forwarded document—
[Detailed Regulations on Further Adjustment of Inspector Authority]
...
In a desolate area far from Haicheng, a woman with disheveled hair appeared out of thin air. Her clothes were in tatters, covered in blood, and there were claw marks on her chest deep enough to see the bone.
She looked back toward Haicheng with lingering fear.
"Fortunately, an S-rank Specter invaded, otherwise I definitely would have died in Haicheng! That kid... Chu Xuan, it must have been him who destroyed my spirit money... I will definitely not let you off!"
"No, even Azure Dragon is dead... Forget it, I'll endure a bit longer until I've saved up more spirit money..."
After panting for a few minutes, she gritted her teeth, her figure flashed again, and she disappeared from the spot, leaving no trace.
...
In a certain dark place.
"Zhu Zhao, have you confirmed it? Who killed the S-rank Specter in Haicheng?"
"It involves secrets; the information was interfered with, and Revelation can't confirm it either, but it definitely wasn't Yang Yu's doing."
"Anyone who can kill an S-rank Specter in twenty minutes is certainly no nobody. It seems we need to keep a low profile for a few days. It just so happens that the rules have changed and the paths to salvation have opened everywhere; we can take this opportunity to go a step further and begin our advancement..."
"By the way, Xinyue Fox escaped from Haicheng."
"Her identity is exposed, so she's useless now. Let's just make use of her as waste and use her for an experiment."
"How should we handle Chu Xuan? It's basically confirmed now that the destruction of the spirit money was some kind of method used by Chu Xuan, and Azure Dragon's ID card is still in his hands. According to reliable sources, the flight Chu Xuan was on disappeared and he might have met with an accident, but his ability is Heavenly Secrets, so he might not necessarily die in this accident."
"Let Revelation handle this matter."
"Revelation stated that he sensed a crisis, has already left Beijing, and won't contact us again for a short time."
"...In that case, we'll just have to choose someone else. If Chu Xuan doesn't appear again, then so be it, but if he does, he will definitely show up in Beijing. Kill him in Beijing!"
"Then... what about the person who killed Vermilion Bird?"
"That person is quite troublesome, but they must be killed, no matter the cost!"
...
Chu Xuan woke up from his grogginess before he could even check his surroundings.
A System notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Territory of the Fighting God, Kingdom of the Tyrant. You have arrived at the War Dragon Continent, Kingdom of Dona. Would you like to spend 100 points of spirituality value to master the local language?]
