252: Shen Qingzhu’s discovery!

Shen Qingzhu rented an apartment at the foot of Baili Manor, and at this moment, he was on a call with Lin Qi Ye and others.

"Lin Qi Ye, you guys are on your way back, right?" Shen Qingzhu asked.

"That's right, Zhuai Ge, we used An Qingyu's Fish Species to discover a suspicious area within Baili Manor," Lin Qi Ye said.

"Oh? What a coincidence, I also have some findings here." Shen Qingzhu took out a piece of paper, which surprisingly contained a sketch of Baili Manor's layout.

"I've sent the sketch of Baili Manor to the group; let's all take a look."

Lin Qi Ye and An Qingyu's eyes lit up. As expected of Zhuai Ge, his experience as an undercover agent was indeed extensive.

They opened their phones and looked at the sketch of Baili Manor.

An Qingyu said, "Zhuai Ge, please investigate the area on the southeast side of the manor. I've circled it in red on the picture."

Shen Qingzhu looked at that area, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

"What a coincidence," Shen Qingzhu sighed, "the anomaly I found also comes from this area."

"Oh? Zhuai Ge, then tell us what you found," Lin Qi Ye asked.

"I sensed the aura of a Divine Power here," Shen Qingzhu said calmly.

"The aura of a Divine Power?"

Upon hearing Shen Qingzhu's words, Lin Qi Ye and the others' faces simultaneously showed expressions of surprise.

Shen Qingzhu continued, "Although it's very faint, I can confirm that it's the aura of Wind God Xiu from Egypt."

"Wind God Xiu from Egypt?"

At this moment, the few of them suddenly remembered that it wasn't just Bai Li Pang Pang who disappeared in Fengdu Ghost City that day, but also Feng Shen's left arm.

Lin Qi Ye said, "If Feng Shen's left arm is also within Baili Manor, then what exactly does Bai Li Xin intend to do by sealing the manor at this time?"

The atmosphere of the Reserve Squad began to grow quiet. They hadn't expected that the matters of the Baili Family would actually be connected to a Divine Power.

"Do you think there's a possibility," An Qingyu pondered for a moment before saying, "that the Baili Family wants to use the power of a Divine Power to develop Forbidden Objects?"

As soon as this was said, everyone suddenly felt enlightened.

The achievements of the Baili Family in Forbidden Object research and development could be said to be unparalleled.

If they could acquire the power of a Divine Power, who knew what impact it would have on the research and development of Forbidden Objects.

"I don't know what role Pang Pang plays in all this. In any case, tomorrow I will go to Baili Manor to investigate. Once you all return to Guangzhou-Shenzhen, we will meet up," Shen Qingzhu said.

"By the way," Lin Qi Ye suddenly asked, "Zhuai Ge, didn't you say you came with Song Zhong? What is he doing?"

"I am not aware of Song Zhong's whereabouts. After arriving in Guangzhou-Shenzhen, we separated."

Hearing Shen Qingzhu's words, Lin Qi Ye and An Qingyu both fell into deep thought.

Separated?

Hopefully, nothing unexpected happens later.

...

The next day.

At the foot of Baili Manor was a bustling commercial area.

Shen Qingzhu, wearing a baseball cap, chewed bubblegum. After blowing a huge bubble and popping it, he wrapped the trash in a tissue and threw it into a trash can.

It was lunchtime, and people tend to feel sleepy after eating lunch.

Shen Qingzhu specifically chose this time. He found a secluded spot and slipped into a small grove.

After ensuring that no one was paying attention to him, a hint of green light flashed in Shen Qingzhu's eyes, and he transformed into a gentle breeze, disappearing among the trees.

Guangshen City is located in the south, and even in this season, the temperature is relatively pleasant.

The afternoon breeze made people feel drowsy, but the security guards inside Baili Manor dared not be careless in the slightest.

A gust of wind blew into Baili Manor, and Shen Qingzhu entered as if no one was there.

Shen Qingzhu was already intimately familiar with the internal layout of Baili Manor, and he quickly arrived at a courtyard located in the southeastern corner of the manor.

From a distance, this courtyard appeared to have nothing unusual about it.

However, Shen Qingzhu could feel the tremor in his Bloodline.

Feng Shen's left arm must be here.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingzhu flew towards that direction.

Suddenly, about ten meters from the courtyard, Shen Qingzhu felt something blocking his way.

Even the wind couldn't blow through.

"Strange, what's going on?"

Shen Qingzhu wasn't sure what this thing was, so he changed direction, intending to try again.

But the same situation happened again; Shen Qingzhu still couldn't get in.

"It seems the defenses here are even stricter. I need to find a way."

Just as Shen Qingzhu was about to think of another method, two figures suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

Both figures wore masks, their true appearances obscured.

But the symbols on their masks were very clear.

One was marked with the symbol of the Virgin, and the other with the symbol of Aries.

"Virgin, are you sure someone came in?" the Aries-masked man asked.

"Not certain, but my Veil was triggered twice just now. To be cautious, we should still come out and check!" the Virgin-masked woman said.

"Hmph! I really want to see if anyone truly dares to trespass into Baili Manor.

It's been a long time since we, the Zodiac Twelve Palace, have had to take action." The arrogance in the Aries-masked man's tone was unconcealed.

Zodiac Twelve Palace?

Shen Qingzhu was currently in a state of clear breeze, so he wasn't worried about the other party discovering him.

But what in the world was this Zodiac Twelve Palace?

The Baili Family indeed had many Forbidden Object Users, but Shen Qingzhu had never heard of this name.

Even when he chatted with Bai Li Pang Pang before, he hadn't heard him mention it.

Is it a hidden trump card of the Baili Family?

If that were truly the case, then these people must be different from ordinary Forbidden Object Users.

Aries and Virgin immediately began checking around the courtyard.

However, the two of them circled three times and found no suspicious trace.

"Virgin, what's going on? Is your Veil malfunctioning?" Aries asked.

"Impossible, my Veil has been tempered by Divine Power; its capabilities are stronger and more resilient than before. There can't be any problem," Virgin retorted.

"But we've circled three times and haven't seen a single shadow."

"Perhaps... it was a bird from the mountains!"

Although Virgin had her suspicions, she couldn't find any evidence, so she could only make excuses to appease Aries.

"Since there's nothing, let's go back. Protecting the laboratory is our most important duty," Aries said.

Virgin nodded, and the two turned and disappeared into the courtyard.

Shen Qingzhu, from a distance, heard their conversation clearly.

He frowned and murmured, "Zodiac Twelve Palace, Divine Power tempering, laboratory?"

After thinking for a while, Shen Qingzhu immediately left Baili Manor and sent the information he had gathered to Lin Qi Ye and An Qingyu.
