"From this, we can draw a conclusion: shen guan is at least 90% likely to be a divine artifact."
Mingxi frowned, "That fragment wasn't damaged, was it?"
"It's fine. It should be restored to its original state once Chiyu advances to SSS-Rank Tool Refiner."
That's good then.
As for whether Chiyu can raise her Item Crafter level to SSS-rank, Mingxi wasn't worried at all.
However.
Is it possible that the remaining fragments of shen guan are also in the hands of the Descent Organization?
Mingxi looked up at You Hu and the other two again.
She definitely couldn't ask them directly; it would too easily expose her intentions.
No one could be sure if these three had any high-tech listening devices installed on them. With the Descent' unfathomable and increasingly outrageous 'research capabilities,' it truly wasn't impossible.
"...Huh? Where is this?" A rough voice suddenly rang out.
Mingxi looked at the muscular young man in the net.
Lie Hu.
It was quite strange; despite being the same body, You Hu and Lie Hu not only had different temperaments but even subtle changes in their appearance and physique.
First was their build: Lie Hu had a typical gorilla-like physique, appearing to be around 35 or 36 years old, while You Hu had a relatively leaner build, at most around 30.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that these two were split personalities.
She could only marvel once again that the world was vast and full of wonders.
Mingxi chuckled, 'Little rascal, you still ended up in my hands.'
After a brief moment of confusion, Lie Hu also recognized Mingxi.
"You are Ling Daren? I... you... Where is this?"
Sigh.
Mingxi shook her head.
She had seen fathers who tricked their children, and children who tricked their parents.
But this was the first time she had seen someone trick their own main personality so badly.
You Hu was a true 'brother' who would let his main personality face danger.
(๑ `▽´ ๑)۶
Mingxi couldn't be bothered to explain his fantastical vice personality to Lie Hu; he wasn't her child, after all.
"Hey, that Ming Shen, Big Boss Ming, I can tell you everything I know, really, I never lie.
I swear on the life of the Descent Organization's leader!"
Mo Ci's sixth sense told her that if she didn't do something soon, she would die!
And she had also realized that this Mingxi would not accept any form of coercion.
This Xiao Guniang was even more difficult to deal with than those old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years.
Mingxi smiled. Was this woman trying to be funny?
Swearing on the life of the Descent' leader? Was that even allowed? freewebnøvel.coɱ
Did the leader agree?
"Oh? Then why don't you start by telling us a secret about the Descent that we don't already know? If what you say is valuable enough, then I can consider sparing your life."
Mo Ci stiffened her neck and smiled.
"What I need is not 'consideration,' but a definite answer, otherwise I won't say anything!"
Bargaining with smart people was troublesome.
It was hard to dig traps.
But Mingxi didn't intend to compromise either. She pulled on the tightening rope of Twelve Qiluo.
The three's bodies were forced to move, only millimeters from the next step.
Except for Lie Hu, who was clueless, Mo Ci and A Lei Jie were both sweating profusely.
Mingxi's eyes curved, smiling like an innocent young girl who knew nothing of the world.
"Me, aside from my beast-taming talent, I am, to put it plainly, just an ordinary, unremarkable minor.
Upwards, I don't need to be responsible to the Alliance; downwards, I don't need to pursue justice or right and wrong.
I have no grand righteousness, and I need no small love."
She tugged the net rope again, "So, the so-called secrets of the Descent Organization you speak of are, to me, truly worthless."
"That's the Alliance's business, the business of various planets and countries."
Mingxi's dark eyes pierced through the black and white mask, falling on Mo Ci again.
"Since you don't want my consideration, then go die!"
As she spoke, she had already tightened the rope with force.
The three's bodies swayed precariously, on the verge of collapse.
"Wait! I'll tell!"
Mo Ci truly didn't want to die, especially not without a complete corpse.
Her eyeballs subtly shifted, and after swallowing, she said, "There's one thing that should be quite important to your Dragonflower Country: the Descent are preparing a special operation specifically targeting Wanling University!
The code name for the operation is — Tower Killing!"
Mingxi's expression subtly changed.
Lin Chen and the other two also showed serious and solemn expressions, their bodies instantly tensing, indicating the importance they placed on this matter.
Team Lin immediately pressed, "When? What is your objective?"
"Please, I've already shown my sincerity, so where's yours?"
Mo Ci still couldn't believe it; she had thrown out such a heavy and sweet bait, and they could still be indifferent!
"Xiao Xi, how about..."
Team Lin looked at Mingxi with some hesitation.
At this point, this woman named Mo Ci definitely couldn't be killed right now.
But sparing this person's life clearly didn't align with Mingxi's original plan.
And carrying such a ticking time bomb was indeed a big trouble for them.
But if what she said was true, this matter was too important; they had to get detailed intelligence.
"Team Lin, you don't need to be embarrassed; I understand what you mean."
She wasn't truly without a sense of greater good.
"I can agree to temporarily spare your life, and even sign an agreement with you, guaranteeing that as long as we live, you will definitely leave Wanmo Territory alive.
But you must clearly and without reservation tell us all the information you know regarding the Descent' attack on Wanling Beast University."
Mo Ci was quite straightforward, "Deal!"
The subsequent process didn't encounter any more problems, although A Lei Jie and Lie Hu's clamoring for mercy and begging were inevitable.
But there's a limit to second chances.
These two not only had no value but were also unstable factors.
Keeping them would only bring trouble.
Mingxi hated trouble.
After Mo Ci was pulled out of the Twelve Qiluo by Chu Fengfeng and Chen Xin, one on each side, Mingxi no longer held back.
She dragged them down the bone steps they were on.
The two didn't even have time to feel fear before they turned into a wisp of green-gray smoke and vanished before everyone's eyes.
In a blink, they were gone.
Of course, Twelve Qiluo did not disappear.
Because a part °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° of it was in Mingxi's hand, it wouldn't trigger the Tower Killing rule. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Mingxi had conducted several experiments before, using small animals tied with ordinary rope-like items.
Although Twelve Qiluo didn't have obvious self-awareness like shen guan, in Mingxi's heart, it was also her most important companion.
She naturally wouldn't joke about its safety.
Although Tower Killing was dangerous, Mingxi was very fortunate to have encountered You Hu and the other three here.
Not being able to summon pets to fight here was a disadvantage, but wasn't it also a good thing?
At least it could avoid many uncontrollable situations caused by pets.
Mo Ci didn't seem like an unreasonable person. After being released, she said, "The specific time for the Tower Killing operation has not yet been determined, but it can be confirmed to be four months from now.
As for their objective, as far as I know, it should be related to a little-known great secret of Wanling Beast University!"
