My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 605: Chapter 64: The New Celestial Strategy of the Third Squadron

The sky outside grew ever darker and more terrifying.

Black clouds covered the sky, blocking out the sun.

And the few remaining sources of light inside quickly vanished without a trace.

The entire space plunged into darkness.

A stuffy and oppressive atmosphere permeated the darkness.

"Wait a minute."

Si Yujie watched as the light in the room was devoured entirely, Chen Lusi’s figure disappeared from sight, and finally reacted, instinctively wanting to object: "You..."

But the words weren’t finished...

Boom—

Outside the window.

The sudden thunder boomed abruptly.

The lightning flashed in sync with the thunder’s delay.

Briefly illuminating Chen Lusi’s face.

Thump, thump.

Immediately following, a dull heartbeat echoed.

Si Yujie, Xia Panqiu, even the little girl, everyone present clearly heard it.

The thunder that had just fallen seemed to drill into Chen Lusi’s chest, roaring and reverberating.

Thump, thump.

The heart beat once more.

Inside Chen Lusi, blood surged, his skin began to burn, his body temperature began rising... The hem of his clothes rustled in the windless room.

The lightning vanished.

The room plunged into darkness again.

But soon, two red glows appeared.

Red light scattered from Chen Lusi’s eyes’ corners, his skin flushed red, and with his breath...scorching heat rushed forth.

Like a volcano about to erupt!

His transformation and anomalies, even in the dark, could be sensed.

"Let’s talk about it later."

Chen Lusi’s voice rang out, responding to the unfinished words of Si Yujie, then he directly took a step and disappeared.

He didn’t give Si Yujie a chance to speak further.

And as he left.

The room, which had heated rapidly earlier, finally began to cool down, returning to normal.

"What exactly..."

In the deathly silence.

Wu You looked at the spot where Chen Lusi had just stood, murmuring.

But his words also remained unfinished.

Just started...

Above Celestial Strategy Trading...light suddenly appeared! Through the window, instantly dispelling the darkness inside the room! Bringing light!

Si Yujie, Xia Panqiu, Wu You, and the young girl, their faces were lit up.

Several could not help but look up.

Between the shifting light and dark.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Then.

Boom—

A huge roar suddenly echoed across the sky!

The light abruptly vanished... concentrated at one point!

Subsequently, a wild wind howled through!

Accompanied by a slightly piercing sound, indoor tables and chairs shifted, papers were swept up by the wind, flying like leaves caught in a storm to the ceiling.

The hems of Wu You and the others’ clothes flapped wildly, the women’s long hair flying backward, unable to open their eyes due to the wind.

And when they opened their eyes again.

...Orange soft light spilled into the room, refracting a warm glow.

It was the sunset.

All darkness was dispelled...light returned once more.

Si Yujie, Xia Panqiu, and others slightly parted their lips, glancing around, then looking at the fluttering papers, and Chen Lusi, who appeared again at the Celestial Strategy Trading entrance, completely stunned.

...

Imperial Capital.

Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.

Ji Xin had just returned to headquarters, yet to catch his breath, and settle down completely.

Bang—

The door was suddenly pushed open roughly.

Shanli appeared outside the door, slightly panting, and hurriedly said, "News just came, Peng City is experiencing an anomaly."

"..."

Ji Xin, upon hearing this, raised her head abruptly, her gaze sharp, immediately pressing: "What anomaly!? Does it have anything to do with Chen Lusi? Does it involve Si Yujie’s daughter?"

"Unclear."

Shanli shook her head forcefully: "All I know is something’s not right there, the sky is abnormal... it’s as if a giant black curtain suddenly opened, and the whole city plunged into darkness.

And from afar, it can be seen that a storm is brewing over Peng City, thunder and lightning raging, and it seems to be intensifying.

Very similar... to the celestial punishment Chen Lusi once encountered at Chuituo Beach."

"..."

Ji Xin felt a sink in her heart, took a deep breath: "Did you try contacting Si Yujie?"

"Contacted, no response."

"Then you..."

Ji Xin instinctively wanted Shanli to head to Peng City.

But soon, she dismissed this thought.

No way.

Her physical limitations made it inconvenient to handle many matters, and now was unlike before... Xia Yue’s death already caused imbalances in power within Celestial Strategy Mansion.

She couldn’t possibly resolve everything just by sitting down.

Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters couldn’t temporarily leave Shanli.

"Have Tang Language leave her fox’s den immediately, head to Peng City, and assess the situation."

Ji Xin took a deep breath, her tone shifting: "Meanwhile, keep trying to contact Si Yujie and Chen Lusi, or anyone else, and inform me immediately if there’s any update."

"Alright."

Shanli did not speak for a moment, then directly turned around and walked away.

Ji Xin watched Shanli leave, then restlessly raised her right hand, lightly biting her finger again.

At times like this, when such things happen... it’s easy for her to be reminded of the worst possibilities.

This was deeply unsettling for him.

Although he highly trusts Chen Lusi...he probably guessed that this might be a consequence of Chen Lusi activating his Authority Ability.

And since he dared to do so, he’s certainly confident he can solve it.

But at times like this, Xia Yue just died, leaving Celestial Strategy Mansion vulnerable everywhere like a leaking ship.

Moreover, the Celestial Strategy meeting is about to convene at headquarters.

If anything happens in Peng City, saying she’s completely unbudged would certainly be implausible.

After all, if the third squad with Si Yujie and Chen Lusi faces trouble.

Not even considering external forces.

Internal issues could arise within Celestial Strategy Mansion, given Xia Yue’s dominance over the years, targeting both external forces and Celestial Strategy Mansion’s internal matters.

The south is fortunately mostly led by her and Xia Yue.

But Celestial Strategy’s northern territory mostly lived under Xia Yue’s shadow.
