Barrier of Light

A "distinguished guest" suddenly appeared at the Holy Elephant Auction House.

In one day, he spent a lot of money and bought several lots.

These are just "common things" and nothing to Gu Shen.

After taking the photo of the object and paying the balance, he sat in the VIP waiting room. Not long after, a group of staff came. The leader, dressed in an elite suit and leather suit, seemed to be a senior manager of the auction house.

"Mr. Amir...I am the general manager of Shengxiang."

The visitor briefly introduced himself and respectfully invited: "Our boss wants to meet you."

A "major customer" like Gu Shen spent seven figures in just one day, which was actually not a small amount.

It's just that this customer's requirements are somewhat special.

Gu Shen hopes that Shengxiang will pack these "objects" and send them to Dongzhou... Although he holds Huazhi's black credit card, he still spent money after all, and half of the reason why he chose to take pictures of those things is also Because it looks promising.

These antique utensils and murals can all be placed in Chunyu Temple.

Alien?

Gu Shen's clothes... don't look very similar. The auction house's basic file clearly states that he is an aristocratic son who grew up in an inland state.

Gu Shen's purpose of coming here is simple.

He didn't want to attract too much attention, but at the same time he hoped to find a local with "sufficient abilities" to help him find the Lamp of Wrath...Choose this auction house, activate his money ability to buy the item, and then contact the boss behind it.

Here, the "boss" can do things that are inconvenient for him to do.

…

…

The general manager led the way to the office on the highest floor of the building.

Gu Shen quietly opened the door.

He noticed that...there was already a supernatural aura here. Although it was not very powerful, it showed that the people behind the Holy Elephant Auction House were controlled by extraordinary people.

Well...it should be so.

The person who can stand at the highest level of the Nanzhou world should be a transcendent person.

It means you are in the right place.

"Oh! Dear... Mr. Amir..."

The boss's chair in the office slowly turned over, and the "boss" who was facing the huge floor-to-ceiling window admiring the sunlight of the Tin Galaxy slowly turned around. The smile on his face was enthusiastic, but his eyes soon became blank.

A ray of fire slowly dissipated between his eyebrows.

Gu Shen flicked his finger to extinguish the fire.

He looked up at the monitor.

"Someone is monitoring the boss's office... Compared to the power behind the Holy Elephant Auction House, he is just a small fish." Chu Ling said: "The surveillance images are blocked. There are three extraordinary people on this floor. Their strength should be at Phase two or so.”

Gu Shen nodded.

Now, his mental power is faster than Chu Ling's [Data Survey].

There should be four extraordinary beings in the entire Shengxiang Building, but while I was waiting, the other one had already left... The strength of these extraordinary beings is actually quite good.

Gu Shen's "blazing fire" could vaguely sense the spiritual outlines of those extraordinary beings.

Similar to what he was wearing at the moment... these extraordinary beings were all wearing religious robes and should have come from the same church.

He acted quickly and decisively.

Now that we have met, there is no need to be polite and waste time.

Gu Shen directly used blazing fire to hypnotize him and pulled the boss into his spiritual realm... As for the extraordinary people on the same level, Gu Shen was not worried. Now the second-stage ability users are not interested in his "blazing fire". "Fire" poses no threat.

"Amir...sir..."

The boss looked confused and slowly looked up at Gu Shen. After being hypnotized, the enthusiastic smile on his face gradually disappeared and turned into confusion.

"I need your help... to search for the whereabouts of this lamp within Xiyin City."

Gu Shen took out the photo of the Lamp of Wrath, waved it in front of his boss, and briefly described its characteristics.

He said softly: "In addition... try to keep a low profile as much as possible. I don't want too many people to know about it. This matter needs to be done by someone who is absolutely trustworthy."

The boss listened carefully.

He was looking at Gu Shen as if he were looking at a bright sun, with only admiration and conviction in his eyes.

"……yes."

"Remember, we had a great time chatting during today's meeting. If you have anything, you can contact me. This is my communication number..." Gu Shen wrote down his contact information. When the boss took it, his expression suddenly struggled.

at this moment.

Gu Shen vaguely felt the rippling of spiritual power.

Perhaps it was a coincidence... The spiritual power of an extraordinary person passed by here, and he was vaguely aware of something strange.

Gu Shen frowned.

There were footsteps behind him. He motioned to the boss to accept the note, and then quickly released the hypnosis. The two returned to the posture of the host and guest chatting, and the next moment someone pushed open the door.

A young extraordinary person wearing a white robe with black hair and black eyes stood at the door.

At this moment, Gu Shen sensed the extraordinary power of this guy... He was probably around the sixth level of the deep water zone. He should be only in his twenties. This guy had quite good strength.

"week?"

The boss looked up and saw the visitor, and was startled for a moment. He vaguely felt that he had forgotten something, but when he saw the note in his hand, a series of memories appeared in his mind... He had a great conversation with Amir, the distinguished guest of the Elephant. , had a conversation and left each other’s contact information.

Turns out I remember it.

That's okay.

The boss stood up with a smile, and his attitude towards the black-haired extraordinary man was very warm. He said friendly: "Zhou, you are here just in time... Please allow me to introduce you to the nobles from Ahakanda. Amir is also a believer of the Crescent Church. …”

Gu Shen sighed softly.

He also recognized this word.

The identity of the members of the Crescent Church should not be arranged casually. This is probably one of the largest sects in Xiyin.

It's just that this guy's name and appearance look like he's from Dongzhou.

week?

This doesn't seem like a name that Nanzhou would use.

The young extraordinary person with black hair and black eyes had a tense expression at first. When he entered the boss's office, he scanned the circle with his mental power. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief. After listening to the boss's introduction, his expression became even more tense. Turn into a smile.

A "big customer" came to Shengxiang today, and she heard about it.

Looks like this is it?

Judging from his appearance... he looks a bit like someone from Dongzhou.

"Amir?" Zhou smiled: "Are you from Ahakandar?"

The moment she spoke.

Gu Shen was slightly surprised.

This voice... is actually female?

The white robe was too tightly wrapped, with black hair and black eyes. It was impossible to tell the gender, only a handsome and innocent face. Gu Shen didn't realize the other person's true gender until he spoke.

This is a young woman.

"I'm a native of Ahakanda, but of mixed race."

Gu Shen could tell what the other person was thinking at a glance.

He touched his cheek and explained with a smile, "Nanzhou people don't lie to Nanzhou people. My mother was born in Yinghai and married here twenty years ago."

Zhou was amused by this comment.

She nodded and smiled, "I believe you don't need to lie to me...but I'm not from Nanzhou."

The boss also laughed.

Zhou suddenly asked: "You want to send those auction items to Dongzhou?"

"My family has been doing business with Dadu in the past few years. When I came to Xiyin this time, I chose a few favorite collections to send over as gifts to my friends there." Gu Shen smiled calmly. He said: "I have to trouble you for the rest of the work."

"Little things, little things."

The boss spoke quickly.

Zhou chuckled softly: "There are still good things in the auction house these days, maybe there is something you like..."

"must."

Gu Shen smiled and prepared to get up and leave.

"May the Moon God grant you peace." Zhou stepped back slightly, stretched out a hand and placed it on his chest.

This is the salute of the Crescent Church.

Gu Shen made this move without hesitation, and responded softly with a solemn expression: "...May the Moon God grant you peace."

…

…

After Gu Shen left.

The smile on Zhou's face slowly disappeared.

She looked at her boss and asked, "What did this person just say to you?"

The boss looked confused. He thought for a while and told the truth...but these were all "imagined" by him in compliance with Blazing Fire Hypnosis.

"You doubt him?"

After finishing speaking, the boss spoke in confusion.

"It's a little strange...but I can't tell why it's strange. Give me his file."

After a while.

Zhou stood silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at Gu Shen's leaving figure outside the building.

There is nothing wrong with this person's profile.

She was born in Ahakanda, grew up in Nanzhou, and believed in the Crescent Church. The etiquette response just now was not flawless, but the inner feeling of the extraordinary person was not very calm. She always felt that this young man was not as simple as she imagined.

Did you... think too much?

…

…

Gu Shen did not hypnotize "Zhou".

the reason is simple.

It's not that I'm worried about hypnosis failing.

But I am worried that there is something unclean in this woman's mind.

He has been able to confirm... "Zhou" is a member of the Crescent Church. In fact, the "Moon God" believed in by this church is just an empty shell. There is no so-called Moon God at all. Even if there is, it will not be there. Nanzhou.

There is only one true god in Nanzhou.

His honorific name is "Storm".

There is no doubt that the Crescent Church is several times or even dozens of times larger than the Evening Bell Church. It most likely controls the power of the entire Xiyin City, and only the residents of the Holy Elephant Group are scattered. It already has six levels of strength.

In Nanzhou, the most terrifying thing is not the [Eye of Heaven] in the deep sea, but the mental power of the Storm God's Throne. If his existence is detected... it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

I just want to check an "antique lamp" that does not contain extraordinary power, so there is no need to go to war.

Gu Shen was still very confident in his hypnosis skills.

With "Zhou's" strength, it was impossible to detect anything strange.

He returned to his hotel and began his retreat.

However, not long after, the doorbell rang outside.

"It's Zhou, she's here to find you."

Chu Ling smiled and said: "The teachings of the Crescent Church require members to have a high moral bottom line, and there should be no behavior that exceeds the moral bottom line before holding a legal notarization ceremony... What she did may not be appropriate. "

Gu Shen sighed softly.

The last thing he expected to see was the current scene... After a very simple encounter, he was targeted by the extraordinary beings of the Crescent Church.

There is no problem with my file.

There is no problem with the content of the exchange.

Could it be the etiquette when leaving... No, it shouldn't be. After reading that scripture, the final etiquette should be fine.

He smiled bitterly: "If possible, I would rather the other strong church men in the building knock on the door."

"I didn't expect you to have such a hobby. It's a pity that God doesn't have what you want..." Chu Ling said lightly: "It seems that you are in trouble now, so I won't disturb your sweet time. If you need technical support, please tell me One sound."

Finished.

The other side of the spiritual link quieted down.

Gu Shen rubbed his cheek, straightened his expression, opened the door, and looked at the woman standing in front of him in surprise.

"May the moon god grant you peace."

Zhou smiled and saluted.

These people really don't mind the trouble... Gu Shen cursed in his heart, he bowed in the same manner with a sincere expression, and asked in surprise: "This is..."

"That's it...the Holy Elephant has a gift for you."

Zhou glanced into the room without revealing any trace.

Her mental power has been scanned around, and there is nothing strange.

Then... she moved forward very naturally, faced Gu Shen's retreat, came to the room, turned around and closed the door.

"Gift?"

Gu Shen accompanied the woman to perform this scene, but at the same time he felt a headache because he saw... Zhou's white robe was wearing a trident emblem that contained the power of the storm.

Back in the snowy plains, these badges could only be used for spiritual communication.

In Nanzhou... there shouldn't be a more powerful force, right?

Gu Shen waited patiently for Zhou's follow-up and observed carefully, his mental energy sweeping over the woman's body. He suddenly understood the meaning of Chu Ling's previous hint.

This woman actually carried something strange under her large white robe.

For example...a whip?

"I want to reward you well on behalf of the Moon God."

After closing the door, Zhou slowly turned around, his voice soft and seductive.

She took off the white robe that covered her hair, revealing her beautiful long hair.

This voice contains the power of "spiritual hypnosis".

Unfortunately, it was ineffective against Gu Shen.

When this woman stepped into this room, Gu Shen already understood... that the next battle was inevitable.

He said calmly, "I'm requesting technical support to cut off all link signals in the room to ensure absolute 'security'."

"Copy that, I'm very aware." Chu Ling replied instantly.

"Zila" sound.

[Deep Sea] disconnected its control over this room...

It was at this moment that Zhou realized something was wrong.

His own voice was completely ineffective on the man in front of him.

"Who the hell are you?!"

The smile on her face disappeared instantly, and a silver light suddenly bloomed in her eyes. Gu Shen did not retreat but rushed forward, directly facing the silver light. Before starting the fight, he glanced at the room facilities... If it was an open environment, he would not Will do this kind of thing to welcome the attack.

It's just that...for this one, he didn't want anything to mess up the room.

What it looked like before the fight.

What does it still look like after the beating?

Just for a moment.

Gu Shen's palms were covered with blazing fire, and he extinguished the two rays of silver light directly on the ground. In less than a second, he stepped in front of Zhou. The blazing fire wrapped his palms and held down the woman's face.

Flames surged.

The woman groaned in pain, but her delicate face was not directly burned... Gu Shen only used the "spiritual attribute" of the blazing fire, and countless huge spiritual powers poured in like an ocean.

A year of retreat.

Gu Shen has practiced Breath of Spring to the point of perfection.

His mental power reached unprecedented heights...

However, that badge suddenly burst out with powerful spiritual power!

Just as I expected.

In Nanzhou... some of the badges given by the Storm God's Throne, depending on the status of the recipient, are already regarded as spiritual sealed objects, which can explode with terrifying power at critical moments.

Gu Shen could only move back to avoid this wisp of storm shock.

He knew that there would inevitably be some "movement" next.

"Crack---"

Zhou's eyes were dark, and she briefly lost the ability to "see" at this moment. In a rage, she pulled out the long whip from her waist.

The sound of explosions filled the air.

A slender whip shadow brushed past Gu Shen's cheek, directly smashing the lamp on the side of the bed to pieces!

When the whip was struck, the alarm in the room also sounded.

Gu Shen moved forward calmly.

He rushed forward again and turned into a phantom in the narrow space. Before the whip could be raised for the second blow, he had already rushed into the woman's arms and punched her in the lower abdomen mercilessly.

"cough……"

Zhou looked pale, bent over, coughed violently, and began to lose consciousness.

…

…

The waiter who followed the hotel's alarm saw two figures, a man and a woman, vaguely attached to the big bed in the dark presidential suite. Only two blurry figures could be seen through the curtain.

The lamps were broken all over the floor.

The whip is next to the bed.

The waiter was a little dumbfounded.

The manager on the side already understood what happened in the room, and the alarm was just a misunderstanding. He said respectfully: "Excuse me... We will replace the lamps for you two tomorrow."

After regaining purity.

Gu Shen stood up slowly. He looked at the unconscious "Zhou" coldly, feeling a little headache.

What to do?

Kill directly?

Killing is the cleanest way to deal with it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Xiyin City for long.

What troubles Gu Shen is that this woman has already come to his door... Does this mean that the entire Crescent Church is aware of his false identity?

After thinking about it, Gu Shen decided to take a gamble.

Based on Gu Shen's understanding of "fire", every "extraordinary person" who refines fire has completed the transformation of life levels.

For them, there is nothing that God can’t do except what man can’t imagine.

There are tens of millions of believers in the Throne of Storms.

This is an extremely large amount, and it is only much more than expected.

But even in the territory under his command, the Storm God Seat should be able to hear every vibration of the badge and every spiritual cry for help!

There are many such voices every day.

I hope he doesn't cherish every "cry for help" so much.

At least...don't hear this bit of yourself.

Gu Shen held Zhou's hand and asked her to take off the storm badge for him "with her own hands".

There was peace.

Immediately afterwards, the fiery spiritual power surged in...
