Chapter 980: Chapter 538 The Real Target_2 Chapter 980: Chapter 538 The Real Target_2 “I still have it saved; take a look, Brother Chen.”
Lan Haitian handed over the sentence cobbled together using the characters from the newspaper, and when Chen Mobai picked it up, a look of “shock” appeared on his face.
“Yu True Person doesn’t look like it.”
After pondering, Chen Mobai spoke those words, then handed the sentence back.
However, when Lan Haitian took it back, he performed an action that astonished Chen Mobai greatly.
“Yu True Person, please take a look as well.”
Yu Tianguang had always been curious, but thinking he was wronged and wanting to behave properly, he deliberately closed his eyes when Lan Haitian presented the paper, as a gesture to show he wouldn’t peek.
But now that Lan Haitian personally asked him to look, Yu Tianguang opened his eyes.
Upon reading, his expression underwent a drastic change!
“It wasn’t me! If it were me, I would have definitely suppressed the three of you on the spot, not put up with this nonsense. Plus, after entering Wangwu Cave Heaven, under the watch of two at Divinity Transformation, I would have had no chance to escape, so why would I have surrendered without a fight?”
Yu Tianguang’s words garnered Chen Mobai’s full agreement; if he were reincarnated as an evildoer from the Ascension Sect, he surely would have tried to break free from the Immortal Gate’s shackles and flee Di Yuan Star the moment he was exposed.
“Twenty-three years ago, I carried out a mission in Red Sandstone City. During that incident, I worked with Brother Chen to slay all the Ascension Sect’s heretics, but the target we needed to protect was taken away by a mysterious Golden Core Master…”
Lan Haitian recounted an old case.
“It couldn’t have been me.”
After listening, Yu Tianguang uttered five words, but he lacked sufficient evidence to prove his innocence.
“After our investigation, not a single Golden Core Master from the Immortal Gate was in Red Sandstone City at that time, so the suspect had to be a local resident.”
“What about Shi Qing! Why are you so sure it’s me?” Yu Tianguang blurted out immediately upon hearing Lan Haitian’s words.
“Yes, there’s also True Person Shi Qing!”
Lan Haitian simply smiled and clapped his hands, causing Chen Mobai to furrow his brows at this gesture.
“Last month, Gu Changfeng who was incarcerated for practicing a Forbidden Technique suddenly confessed, claiming he copied the Devour God Technique for you and that you also cultivated this Forbidden Technique.”
“Impossible, I swear I haven’t cultivated the Devour God Technique!”
Yu Tianguang spoke, about to raise his hand and swear an oath of his Dao Heart.
“Yu True Person, wait a moment. Gu Changfeng has also sworn a Dao Heart oath stating definitively that you have cultivated the Devour God Technique. The Mind-reading Talisman of the Hall of Orthodox Law ensures he has not lied.”
Lan Haitian stopped Yu Tianguang from making an oath and spoke words that left Yu Tianguang with a stunned gaze.
“What in the world is going on? I really haven’t cultivated the Devour God Technique…”
By the time he said this, Yu Tianguang no longer had the same confidence.
Because if Gu Changfeng has survived the Dao Heart oath and the Mind-reading Talisman, it means he has told the truth.
Yet Yu Tianguang was certain that his own memory contained no trace of any cultivation of the Devour God Technique!
“Brother Chen, what do you think?”
At this moment, Lan Haitian suddenly addressed Chen Mobai, who after some thought, offered a response, “Is there a possibility that Yu True Person, without his knowledge, cultivated some Art of Divine Consciousness, believing it to be a normal technique of the Immortal Gate, but it turned out to be a Forbidden Technique?”
Clap clap!
After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Lan Haitian suddenly burst into applause, nodding at Chen Mobai with a greatly surprised expression.
“Correct, that is also a possibility we deduced. So the question arises, which Art of Divine Consciousness that Yu True Person cultivated could be the Devour God Technique?”
As soon as Lan Haitian’s words ended, Yu Tianguang immediately started to recall, listing the names of all the books he had read related to Divine Consciousness from his Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer days onward.
“Volcano Meditation Technique,” “Morning Sun Technique,” “Divine Control Technique,” “Azure Jadeite Charm,” “Rising Sun Mind Movement Method”…
When Chen Mobai heard of the Divine Manipulation Technique, his heart skipped a beat.
“The ‘Morning Sun Technique’ and the ‘Divine Manipulation Technique’ are two modified directions of the Devour God Technique, it couldn’t possibly be these two, could it?”
After recounting all the contents related to divine consciousness from his memory, Yu Tianguang somewhat uncertainly said.
“Can True Person Yu recite the contents of these cultivation techniques from your memory?”
Lan Haitian asked again, and Yu Tianguang immediately nodded.
Lin Yin promptly took out paper and pen while also moving a table over.
Humming!
Just at that moment, the flying ship prepared by the Hall of Orthodox Law arrived in the airspace above them. Since the primary target had been arrested, there was no need to disguise the tremendous disturbance.
Soon, people from the Cinnabarite Institute noticed the enormous object that had appeared in the sky.
Two Foundation Establishment teachers came over immediately, Lin Yin went up and gave a brief explanation. They also saw Yu Tianguang being pressed in between Lan Haitian and Chen Mobai, their expressions changing drastically before they returned the way they had come.
“The show is nearly over, it’s time to take True Person Yu away.”
Seeing this scene, Lan Haitian, carrying Yu Tianguang, ascended toward the flying ship in mid-air, while Chen Mobai, observing this, employed his spiritual power to support the table with the paper and pen and followed them up.
Yu Tianguang, now unable to mobilize his spiritual power, showed gratitude towards Chen Mobai upon seeing this.
Before long, Lin Yin and the rest of the Sky-Mending Group who set up the large formation also entered the flying ship.
However, Chen Mobai did not see Gongsun Jielu, a hint of inspiration fleetingly crossing his mind. Combining what Lan Haitian had said earlier, he felt he might have grasped the true purpose of this operation.
It was at that moment that the flying ship started to glow with spiritual light, then turned around and headed towards the Wangwu Cave Heaven.
The speed wasn’t very fast, as if it was deliberately waiting for someone.
But to Lan Haitian’s disappointment, even after flying out of Red Sandstone City’s airspace, he had not waited for that person.
“The one you want to capture isn’t True Person Yu, is it? You just want to use True Person Yu to lure out the real target!”
Chen Mobai asked. Lan Haitian listened, slightly surprised, then nodded lightly.
By that time, Yu Tianguang had already silently transcribed all the contents. Lan Haitian picked them up for a look and singled out the “Azure Jadeite Charm”.
“This Cultivation Technique is only available up to the third layer of Gold Core in the Immortal Gate’s library, yet True Person Yu’s version can be practiced up to the ninth level of Golden Core. Where did it come from?”
“True Person Shi Qing taught it to me, saying she had perceived the continuation of this technique that directly points to Nascent Soul while cultivating with Biyu Wutong through Spirit Transformation.”
“She herself used it to clear all obstacles to the ninth level of Golden Core but has not yet achieved ‘Nascent Soul Formation’, so she only passed on to me the part concerning divine consciousness up to Golden Core Perfection.”
“Practiced within the range of Red Sandstone City’s Spiritual Vein, this technique allows you to contemplate the Biyu Wutong at the Spiritual Vein Core. The improvement of divine consciousness with this contemplation becomes twice as effective. The closer you are to the Biyu Wutong, the faster the progress of divine consciousness, and even your thoughts become clearer and swifter.”
“I truly did not know that this was the Devour God Technique!”
By the end of his confession, Yu Tianguang had grasped the truth, glaring at the transcription of the “Azure Jadeite Charm” he had written down, wishing he could tear it apart right there.
“Did Vice Minister Gongsun go to capture Shi Qing?”
Chen Mobai also realized, at that moment, that the Immortal Gate had long known that Shi Qing was the one practicing the Devour God Technique.
The sudden and open arrest of Yu Tianguang this time and deliberately letting the people of the Cinnabarite Institute know when leaving was probably to draw out Shi Qing.
“The people of the Cinnabarite Institute must have reported our capture of True Person Yu to True Person Shi Qing. Logically, with such an incident occurring within her territory, she must come out to inquire after knowing about it.”
“According to our original plan, as long as True Person Shi Qing leaves the Biyu Wutong to intercept us, the Forbidden Array on this flying ship would be activated, severing her connection with the Biyu Wutong, and then the higher-ups would take action to suppress her.”
“But since she didn’t come as planned, we’ll have to initiate the alternative plan B!”
By this time, Lan Haitian was no longer keeping secrets.
