157: Activate the compass! Search for the inheritance of the Thunder King!
Magic City Base, Dark Night Plaza, underground palace.
Dark Hall's Hall Master, Dark Night Rose, sat upon her throne.
Her golden hair cascaded down her shoulders.
Combined with the light blue eyes visible through her mask, she looked incredibly alluring.
She gazed down at Black Knight, the Dark Hall's chief steward.
"Black Knight, you said you had good news for me?"
Black Knight didn't dare to be negligent, "Hall Master, my people have already found the whereabouts of one-quarter of the Map Fragment of the Peerless Emperor."
Dark Night Rose's eyebrows raised under her mask.
"Oh? Where is it?"
"It's with the Sankou Group."
Sankou Group?
Dark Night Rose was not unfamiliar with this force.
It was one of the ten major groups in the Neon Country.
They were engaged in the research and development of various military industrial instruments.
It was one of the groups with the deepest cooperation with the Neon Country's official government.
Although the Sankou Group was in the military industrial business, there were many powerful individuals within the group.
Rumor has it.
The mid-level personnel within the Sankou Group were all Martial King Realm experts, showing their immense strength.
"Sankou Group?
That's a bit troublesome."
Dark Night Rose, the Hall Master of this assassin organization, frowned.
Black Knight smiled, "Hall Master, that Map Fragment isn't actually at the Sankou Group's headquarters."
Dark Night Rose became interested, "Then where is it?"
"According to my investigation, the Map Fragment is with Meichuan Neiku.
This guy is bringing a group of people from the Neon Country and is preparing to land near Wu Shi City.
They might be conducting some kind of transaction, and causing some trouble along the way."
Dark Night Rose pondered, "How strong is this Meichuan Neiku?"
"Advanced Martial General realm."
Dark Night Rose felt an opportunity had arrived.
"By the way, Black Knight, I remember Wu Jiang leading people to monitor Su Jun in Wu Shi City, right?"
"That's right, they have already found an opportunity to act.
I believe good news will arrive in ten minutes."
It turned out.
Wu Jiang had contacted Black Knight before acting, saying he would wait for his good news.
"Good!
Su Jun has half of the map of the Peerless Emperor's Inheritance on him.
If we can get one-quarter from Meichuan Neiku, we'll only be missing the last one-quarter of the map!"
A fervent light flashed in Dark Night Rose's eyes.
"Black Knight, contact Wu Jiang now and tell him that after he captures Su Jun, there's no need to rush back.
Find an opportunity to target Meichuan Neiku and seize that one-quarter of the map!"
"Yes!"
Black Knight was efficient and immediately called Wu Jiang on the satellite phone.
Ten minutes had already passed since their last contact.
Presumably, Wu Jiang had successfully captured Su Jun.
Five seconds, ten seconds... Half a minute passed, but the satellite phone didn't connect.
This made Black Knight and Dark Night Rose frown.
"Huh?
What's wrong with this Wu Jiang?
Could he be too excited and didn't notice the satellite phone ringing?"
Black Knight speculated.
But Dark Night Rose shook her head, "This Wu Jiang is most likely dead.
Our Dark Hall has a rule that an upper-level satellite phone must be answered within five seconds.
It's already been half a minute."
Black Knight's expression flickered.
"Hall Master, could it be that Wu Jiang was counter-killed while acting against Su Jun?"
After saying this.
Black Knight shook his head repeatedly.
"Impossible, Wu Jiang is at least an Advanced Martial General.
And that Su Jun is only an Elementary Martial General, can he kill Wu Jiang? Unless the sun rises from the west!"
Black Knight's face showed disdain and contempt.
He clearly didn't believe Su Jun could kill Wu Jiang.
Dark Night Rose spoke, "I remember there were eight other people acting with Wu Jiang, contact them."
"Okay."
Two minutes later.
Black Knight's face was grim.
Because he hadn't been able to contact the previous six either.
It wasn't until he contacted the seventh person.
That the satellite phone finally connected.
"Lord Black Knight."
"What exactly happened to you all?"
That person looked confused.
Black Knight then explained the situation of Wu Jiang and the others being uncontactable.
"Lord, I and one other person are here at Beize Lake, searching for the Thunder Law King's Inheritance site.
Wu Jiang led the other six to keep an eye on Su Jun, waiting for an opportunity to act."
So that's how it was.
Black Knight suddenly understood, then ordered that person to investigate Wu Jiang's whereabouts.
Ten minutes later, there was a result.
"Lord Black Knight, I found out that Wu Jiang and the other six were killed by Su Jun!"
"What?"
Black Knight's eyes widened.
His face was filled with disbelief.
Su Jun, this Elementary Martial General, could kill Wu Jiang, an Advanced Martial General?
What's going on?
On the throne, Dark Night Rose's light blue eyes also flashed with shock.
"Hall Master, what should we do now?"
Dark Night Rose's eyes were deep, "Let's wait and see.
This Su Jun will come to Azure Dragon Academy in Modu later for school.
At that time, there will be plenty of opportunities!"
After continuously losing personnel.
Dark Night Rose decided to temporarily postpone the plan to deal with him.
She would wait until the other party came to Modu before acting.
"Su Jun, is it?
You've made our Dark Hall suffer losses twice, this matter will definitely not be forgotten!"
Black Knight clenched his fists.
A clear killing intent flashed in his eyes.
...
Eight hundred meters outside Beize Lake.
"Myriad Transformation Heavenly Thunder Hand!"
As lightning flashed in Su Jun's palm.
Two dog heads, as large as small cars, rolled down.
These were two Level 4 Exotic Beasts, white-haired wild dogs, that had just emerged from Beize Lake and were preparing to rush to the battlefield.
In order not to cause too much commotion.
After approaching Beize Lake.
Su Jun did not use area-of-effect martial skills.
He used Wind God Step combined with single-target burst martial skills to instantly kill the Exotic Beasts.
Lifespan + 106000.
Lifespan + 106000
[Lifespan: 3865000]
[Talent: Wheel Prison (29%, Awakening in Progress)]
"This area has been cleared, and no Exotic Beasts will appear for now.
I can safely add points to that control-type martial skill I obtained, Heavenly Serpent Capturing Hand."
Su Jun didn't have this type of control martial skill yet.
Now that he finally had free time, he naturally wanted to add points to this martial skill to enrich his martial skill arsenal.
Add points!
A large amount of knowledge about Heavenly Serpent Capturing Hand flooded his mind...
In a trance.
Su Jun felt himself on a grassland.
Groups of ferocious Exotic Beasts charged towards him.
Su Jun couldn't help but raise his hands, gripping the Exotic Beasts' joints, subduing them one by one...
[Martial Skill: Heavenly Serpent Capturing Hand (Level 4, Minor Accomplishment)]
...
[Name: Su Jun]
[Realm: Intermediate Martial General]
[Talent: Wheel Prison (29%, Awakening in Progress)]
[Blood Qi: 1780000]
[Cultivation Technique: Golden Scale Mysterious Snake Art (Level 4, Perfected)]
[Martial Skills: Benlei Fist (Level 2, Perfected)... Heavenly Serpent Capturing Hand (Level 4, Perfected)
Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder Art (Level 4, Perfected)... Weakening Light (Level 4, Perfected)]
[Weapons: A-Grade Black Crystal Gauntlets, quasi-s grade five-colored golden bell]
[Lifespan: 3830000]
"Over 3 million Lifespan, which means over 300,000 Blood Qi.
And I'm still nearly 1.5 million Blood Qi away from breaking through to Advanced Martial General.
I still need to work hard!"
The Blood Qi standard for an Intermediate Martial General was 1.78 million.
While an Advanced Martial General needed to reach 3.2 million Blood Qi.
Su Jun decided.
On the way to find the Thunder Law King's Inheritance, he would continue to clear Exotic Beasts and accumulate Lifespan.
Su Jun proceeded into Beize Lake.
He took out the exquisite Compass left by Grandma from his storage ring.
He activated the Compass.
As light appeared, the Compass pointed towards the northwest.
Su Jun took a deep breath.
Suppressing his excited and nervous feelings, he used Netherworld Concealment Technique and followed the direction indicated by the Compass.
