475: Chapter 475: We've infiltrated the enemy ranks; next up is...

"Set out!"

A command was sent via voice transmission.

Three hairs on the table instantly transformed into a man, a woman, and a lion—specifically Bai Ling, Shi Suiyan, and Yuan Chenling.

The remaining hair also split into four, filling the previous vacancies.

The three looked at each other, and after confirming everything was in order, Bai Ling took the lead. He stuck a Talisman on the door, and it opened silently.

Just as the door opened, a pale-faced inspector looked at the scene in shock.

Before he could shout, Yuan Chenling acted first, opening his mouth wide and sucking the man inside.

Immediately after, Yuan Chenling spat out the man's outer coat, and Shi Suiyan timely tossed a Medicinal Pill into Yuan Chenling's mouth.

The Medicinal Pill exploded, and the inspector trapped in the space within Yuan Chenling's mouth fainted on the spot.

Then, one person and one lion vanished like phantoms. Bai Ling put on the man's clothes, stuck a Talisman on himself, and transformed into the inspector's appearance.

On the other side, Shi Suiyan and Yuan Chenling had already run quite far. They paused and accelerated intermittently, every step perfectly avoiding the inspectors on night duty.

The routes they chose were mostly areas where the power was cut or where the cameras were old and broken to begin with.

In a short while, the two arrived at the room where the corpses were kept.

Shi Suiyan kept watch while Yuan Chenling carried the inspector to scan his face and fingerprints. The two moved extremely fast; just as they entered the room, the camera in the corner turned back on.

After everything was done and seeing that no accidents had occurred, Yuan Chenling sat down against the door, panting heavily.

"Scared the lion to death. Running around in someone's home base like this... if we're seen even a little, or if our Divine Sense is exposed, it's game over."

Seeing Yuan Chenling's state, Shi Suiyan just gave him a disdainful look, then pulled out the two corpses that had just been stored tonight.

Although she had already tried and confirmed this in other timelines multiple times, she still couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed now.

"As expected, the Truth Cult and the people from Guixu have already taken the bodies. Now only this empty shell manipulated by Wrath Prison and this Loose Cultivator's corpse are left."

Yuan Chenling's mouth hung open in disbelief.

"No way, then didn't we come here for nothing?"

Yuan Chenling had been staying comfortably in the Qingxu Grotto-Heaven, waiting for his boss to return and help him Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

As for the Taiyi Sect, as the sect grew stronger and its systems became more refined, the production in the main city had basically completed a self-cycle with Taiyi City. Some strange items produced in the main city could even replace his role.

Those strange Medicinal Pills greatly reduced his workload. Now that there were more believers, he was actually more relaxed.

But the good times didn't last long.

He was resting perfectly fine when he was suddenly kidnapped by Shi Suiyan.

Without a word, she dragged him to the Eastern Region, stating she already knew about his relationship with the Taiyi Sect and needed him to find a way to smuggle her into the Desire Realm.

Sleeping soundly one moment and waking up in the Eastern Region from the Northern Territory the next, Yuan Chenling almost questioned his life as a lion. But he still followed his heart and chose to help Shi Suiyan.

For no other reason than Shi Suiyan saying she sensed Zhou Yan, which was why she had to do this.

Firstly, Shi Suiyan was indeed good to him and would feed him from time to time.

Secondly, her words were always accurate. During his time in the Qingxu Grotto-Heaven, when he was short on extra cash, he would occasionally cling to Wang Yao and Shi Suiyan's legs to get some benefits, and he sought out Shi Suiyan the most with the best results.

So if she said she found the boss, then she definitely found him. As for other matters, he'd go first and worry later.

If he could find the boss a step ahead of others, maybe he could reach the Nascent Soul stage sooner.

But unfortunately, reality proved that a lion who had just woken up had a truly muddled brain. He had confusedly thought of some nonsense and confusedly agreed to her, not having thought through what he was doing at all.

It wasn't until he contacted Qingxuan that he realized what kind of stupid thing he was about to do.

After all, because a powerhouse named King Dong had strongly insisted, the Taiyi Sect had long since merged into the Truth Cult. As a high-ranking member of the Taiyi Sect, he understood certain things quite well.

In this recent period, rashly crossing the border of the Desire Realm was no different from seeking death.

But he was already in the Eastern Region and had promised Shi Suiyan. With her stubborn temper, she certainly wouldn't listen to his advice, leaving him at a loss for a while.

Coincidentally, Bai Ling had some free time and came to the Eastern Region to seek revenge, happening to run into Shi Suiyan and Yuan Chenling.

Thus, after experiencing some twists and turns, the three of them formed a small team to search for Zhou Yan.

However, they had just landed when they stumbled upon a transaction by a mysterious organization, which in turn triggered a series of events.

But now Shi Suiyan said that the people they risked being wanted to kill had their bodies taken away, and even the clues were cut off.

This was truly a heavy blow to Yuan Chenling's little heart.

To think that he, a Loose Cultivator who had been cautious for half his life, would actually follow a Core Formation Cultivator all the way to the Desire Realm and, because of a single sentence from her, forcibly involve himself in such an extremely dangerous matter.

Was this really something he could do?

If it weren't for Bai Ling, a great Cultivator who had recently entered the Soul Transformation stage, sitting in as their anchor, Yuan Chenling would have truly wanted to find a rope to hang himself on the spot and then report to the Taiyi Sect's Underworld Office.

Shi Suiyan didn't bother with Yuan Chenling's self-pity and instead began to study the empty shell.

"The people of Wrath Prison are still so arrogant. Do they really think this disposable empty shell is safe?"

After Shi Suiyan finished speaking, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes were then shrouded in a pale white light.

Seeing this, Yuan Chenling's spirits lifted instead.

"Could it be?"

"My goodness, even this works!"

While Shi Suiyan and Yuan Chenling were looking for clues, Bai Ling wasn't idle either.

He quickly followed Shi Suiyan's prediction and returned to the monitoring room, reciting the lines Shi Suiyan had prepared.

As expected, when the colleague who had just woken up noticed something was slightly off about him, suspicion arose.

But when he successfully countered the other's words and linguistic traps one by one, the colleague just assumed he was muddled from sleep.

Bai Ling took the opportunity to suggest the other go out to relax and rest, saying he could cover the shift for two hours, provided the other treated him to a late-night snack and helped him buy some medicine.

According to Shi Suiyan, the character he was currently playing was actually a poor and stingy guy.

Because the person had upset their stomach from eating pre-prepared meals and was also extremely hungry, making such a request was perfectly reasonable.

Thus, Bai Ling easily took over the monitoring for the next two hours, preparing to do as Shi Suiyan said.

At the same time, he couldn't help but marvel.

"So this is a time Divine Ability; it really is unreasonable."

"If even she, a mere Core Formation Stage Cultivator, can be like this, then once that thing they mentioned is activated, how terrifying would it be?"

"Speaking of which, didn't I come to find Brother Zhou? Why did I get involved in this kind of thing?"

"Forget it, since Fellow Daoist Shi said it's also related to Brother Zhou, then I'll do it."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"What? You're saying Yuan Chenling and the others went to the Desire Realm to find me?"

Zhou Yan looked at the large crow in front of him, his face full of disbelief.

He had originally intended to enter the main city to see if he could find a way to leave the Desire Realm, but he happened to run into Qingxuan at the Central God Tower.

He then learned from the other that Shi Suiyan had taken Yuan Chenling all the way to the Desire Realm and was coming to find him.

In Zhou Yan's impression, Shi Suiyan would never take the initiative to come to the Eastern Region.

She must have known something, and Yuan Chenling had likely already received his message, but something happened and he didn't have time to reply.

Thinking of the suddenly refreshed mission, Zhou Yan blurted out.

"Holy crap, did I just spawn directly on the mission point?"

Seeing Zhou Yan's erratic behavior, Qingxuan couldn't help but scratch its head in surprise.

What mission point? Could he have become stupid from the Transmigration?

Qingxuan knew Zhou Yan had transmigrated to ancient times, but it had searched through all the records and found no theory suggesting that crossing the river of time would make one an idiot.

But it still cautiously asked Zhou Yan.

"Little Zhou, did you lose your memory because of the Transmigration?"

"Then do you still remember that I am actually your fath—urk!"

The latest entry in the library:

"Crossing the river of time likely does not cause memory loss."
