Chapter 623: Chapter 71: The Beginning (Part 2)
"..."
Lan remained silent, allowing Chen Lusi to play with her long hair. Hearing the words, she did not answer but hesitated for a moment. She raised her snow-white arm and made a very human gesture.
She gently grabbed Chen Lusi’s shoulder... and then, like a fledgling, half nestled into Chen Lusi’s arms.
Chen Lusi noticed this, was slightly taken aback, and then helped her re-tie her hair, just about to speak again.
Bang—
The door of the lounge was suddenly slammed open violently.
And at the moment the door opened.
Lan directly disappeared.
Shanli stood at the doorway, panting, maintaining the posture of slamming the door open, and seeing Chen Lusi squatting on the ground, was slightly stunned.
On the other side.
Ji Xin also appeared at the door,
Sitting in a wheelchair, she glanced at the situation inside the room, and quickly said, "Something just happened, did you notice? The entire Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters..."
"I know."
Chen Lusi glanced in front of him, then looked down at his own shadow, and was able to sense the familiar aura in the shadow, roughly knowing where Lan went.
She withdrew her gaze, stood up, gently interrupted Ji Xin, and said, "I know what just happened, sorry."
"..."
Shanli’s delicate body tensed.
And Ji Xin looked at Chen Lusi and, after a long silence, asked, "...Was it you?"
"Yes, it should be."
Chen Lusi raised his right arm again, took a look, and gently clenched his fist, "Although I’m not yet sure... of the specific usage."
Ji Xin thought of Chen Lusi’s posture just now and asked, "So... what exactly happened just now?"
"..."
Chen Lusi organized his words and recounted what had just happened to the two of them.
He did not deliberately conceal anything.
Because Lan’s words just now were very important.
And after listening to Chen Lusi’s account, sure enough, the first thing Ji Xin and Shanli did was look behind him... or more precisely, look at the location Lan had just pointed to.
"Enemy..."
Shanli was the first to withdraw her gaze and then looked at Ji Xin, with a grim expression, "Back then at Chuituo Beach, Chen Lusi suffered a Celestial Punishment... Xia Yue guessed it was related to that little girl whom Chen Lusi’s Authority Ability pointed to, right? Obviously, the entire Kunlun Pantheon could not activate, yet that little girl now says there’s an enemy..."
Ji Xin came to her senses and said expressionlessly, "Those few old Daoists, when they first arrived at Kunlun Mountain, also said they saw a little girl knocking on their Ancestral Celestial Master’s Stone."
"So..."
Shanli looked at Chen Lusi.
Ji Xin also looked at him.
"Zhang Xiufeng sent me that ’Kuwa Clan’ and once passed a message to me."
Chen Lusi understood their meaning and said, "Xia Yue said, the Kunlun Pantheon shouldn’t have collectively roamed so quickly. Someone gave it a push at the time point when the Kunlun Pantheon was about to activate, someone was fishing in troubled waters, and it’s probably either those old things or the Self, telling me to be careful."
Shanli’s expression grew even more grim.
"...Then it matches up."
Hearing this, Ji Xin slowly raised her hand, lightly bit her finger, seeming a bit restless, "It seems the issue of the Kunlun Gods collectively roaming is resolved... but someone did something before this, allowing the specific creature directed by their Authority to blend into the Kunlun Pantheon, and until now, remains lurking... who could it be?
Now the entire Kunlun Pantheon has been smashed by Xia Yue back to the pager, even the Goddess of Longevity has been hammered down to the mortal world..."
Chen Lusi asked, "Not the Self or Empowerers of the old era?"
"No."
Ji Xin put down her hand, shaking her head, "The domestic Empowerers, those with the ability to fish in troubled waters, their Authority Abilities are generally significant, and the legends that their Source Canon points to have quite an influence in the country.
Even if they personally want to blend into the Kunlun Pantheon, they would fail because it contradicts the Source Canon of their Authority Ability.
For example, my Authority Ability, Female Youth... obviously part of the Daoist Pantheon, yet wanting to blend into Kunlun, do you think that’s possible?
Perhaps some of them got involved, but the one who blended into the Kunlun Pantheon is definitely not them... Shanli! When those four old Daoists went up the mountain, had the black market already begun spreading the news that the Celestial Strategy Mansion was about to prosecute that Holy Coffin Knight?"
As she spoke.
Ji Xin’s eyes sharpened, she abruptly looked at Shanli.
Shanli nodded.
"...Roman Catholic Church."
Ji Xin narrowed her eyes, lifted her snow-white chin, looking at Chen Lusi, "It seems they care more than imagined... about the Holy Coffin Knight you captured."
Chen Lusi: "People from the Roman Catholic Church blended into the Kunlun Pantheon?"
Ji Xin nodded, "Yes, the other side might have come precisely for that Holy Coffin Knight, but before they could do anything, Kunlun erupted in collective roaming.
And now, with the Celestial Strategy Mansion not prosecuting as scheduled, they are not in a hurry... so what they are doing at this moment, no one knows,
After all, at this moment, all the activated Gods of Kunlun have been resolved by Xia Yue, so the specific creature their Authority points to might be the only ’awake’ existence on Kunlun.
There are too many things that can be done."
"I understand."
Chen Lusi fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then directly said, "Do whatever you want to do, continue to push the prosecution forward, I trust your judgment."
Obviously.
Now it’s too late to systematically understand the Roman Catholic Church and then make decisions.
The more it’s delayed, the more time the other side has.
Chen Lusi understood this point after listening to Ji Xin.
Since that’s the case.
Let’s take action first.
