Barrier of Light

The Fuzhi Group caravan will not stay in Rhine for too long, and will return in two days.

Liu Yi looked at the time.

According to the original rules, the three people who left the caravan... now it's time to come back. If they don't meet up, the caravan will go first.

She wasn't worried about Gu Shen.

With Xiao Gu's way of life and his current strength, there are very few people in such a large Central Continent that can cause him trouble.

She was worried about Nan Jin.

She knows the stubbornness of the Lu family better than anyone else. On this trip to Central Continent, Xiao Lu told his wife to take a look at the Tower of Source, but is it really just that simple?

Just as this thought flashed across Liu Yi's mind, he heard a familiar voice.

"Aunt Liu, I...are back."

This voice sounded very weak.

Liu Yi immediately looked at the corner with vigilance. Where the voice came from, in the darkness, a woman wearing a black robe could be vaguely seen, looking rather bleak and frail.

She quickly looked around to make sure no one was there, and then walked over quickly.

One gets closer.

Lu Nanjin collapsed in her arms.

Liu Yi carefully opened a corner of his clothes. Lu Nanjin was seriously injured. Scarlet wounds burst out on her snow-white skin. Under the burning flames, the wounds were almost stuck to the clothes, exuding a fishy smell.

"How could you be so injured?" She was shocked and angry, her tone anxious.

"I had a fight with the genius of the Tower of Origin..." Lu Nanjin said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay, I won't die. I want to find a place to rest, please excuse me."

She has changed a lot during these two years of retreat.

Many years ago, Lu Nanjin was an impatient person who cherished words like gold, but now... after suffering such a serious injury, she was not anxious.

Liu Yi quickly carried her back to the caravan's residence.

The caravan was equipped with medical personnel in case of emergencies, and they came in handy at this moment.

Lu Nanjin was carried to the bed and took off her coat. Liu Yi held her breath.

On Xiao Lu's chest, a bloody lotus flower was blooming.

This was a rare burn. The bloody lotus kept flashing with light as she breathed, and the high temperature continued to invade her bone marrow. The team doctor took out the Holy Light Sealed Artifact for treatment, but the effect was minimal.

In addition, her mental aura also became disordered.

What is truly fatal is the intrusion of these scorching gases into the spiritual sea!

Liu Yi made an inspection. She pushed away everyone, including the caravan doctor, and then expanded her own domain... A flash of spiritual light lit up in front of her forehead, her [Spiritual Eyes] slowly opened, and countless spiritual powers flowed towards her like running water. Lu Nanjin's chest poured out.

She tried to rely on her own strength to resolve Lu Nanjin's burns.

[Spiritual Eyes]'s spirit is as gentle as a stream.

But... the effect is equally weak!

Just when she was feeling anxious, a wisp of flame suddenly came over and hit directly between Lu Nanjin's eyebrows.

There was a crisp sound of "dong".

Like the sound of a clear spring.

The next moment, a chill emanated from the flames.

Liu Yi's eyes widened. She stretched out the palm hanging in front of Xiao Lu's face. Within a few seconds, she felt a clear chill... This kind of extraordinary burn requires a big cold to fight it. Dissolve the heat.

Soon, the heat that shrouded Lu Nanjin's cheeks was dissipated by the cold!

"Gu Shen? You're back!"

She stood up quickly.

In the pavilion, at some point, there were two more people.

Gu Shen and Chu Ling appeared here without anyone noticing.

"Aunt Liu... take back your spiritual eyes and leave the healing to me." Gu Shen came to Liu Yi's side and naturally took over her burden. He frowned and looked at the senior sister's injuries, thinking back to The words of the uptown star messenger at the funeral in the small town of Linz.

The senior sister had a fight with the Suzaku Divine Envoy.

At this moment, does the "burning intention" that envelopes the senior sister come from that divine envoy?

…

…

The healing didn't take long.

As the King of Hades, Gu Shen is in charge of the underworld fire and can heal "spiritual burns".

In addition, he is now comprehending the breathing method in reverse.

The severe cold in the four seasons is just the right way to eliminate this scorching feeling and get twice the result with half the effort!

After the treatment was over, the senior sister fell into a coma...and Liu Yi was waiting anxiously not far away. She already knew the cause and effect of Nan Jin's injury, and reported the matter to Madam as soon as possible. When something like this happened , Huazhi must take protective measures.

If the Suzaku Divine Envoy chases after him, it will be terrible!

"Aunt Liu."

Gu Shen stood up and Liu Yi rushed over immediately.

"how?"

"Her injuries have stabilized." Gu Shen said, "The person who did it is very powerful."

"Madam said... the caravan will set off tonight and not stop in the Rhine." Liu Yi asked, "Will this affect your plan?"

She was only in charge of caravan negotiations, and knew limited information about other matters.

But it's not difficult to guess that Gu Shen had other things to do when he came to Central Continent.

Just like Nan Hibiscus came to Zhongzhou, it was more than just "seeing" the Tower of Source.

"No problem."

Gu Shen shook his head.

This time he came to Central Continent and had already taken care of the most important things.

It will take some time for those ancient drawings from Linz to be slowly digested in the source code database.

The purpose of returning to the Rhine this time is to communicate with the "Wind Rose" again and lay the foundation for the future underground structure of the Central Continent Ancient Literature Society.

…

…

On the other side, the Rhine port.

Due to the fire on the "El Chapo", the Rhine port suffered a huge blow. The sea of ​​​​fire had long been extinguished, but there was a layer of strange scarlet material flowing on the sea surface.

This is the brilliance of Carolyn Ye. She did not use her own flames, but fueled Xiao's "blood fire"!

This special substance can reveal the identity of the murderer.

At this moment, a strong wind blew.

Many extraordinary beings are carrying the wreckage of the burned freighter. Although the El Chapo was destroyed, the later salvage work is still important. In addition to clues about the murderer, the Red Portugal Group also needs to recover this "cargo".

"grown ups."

He Chan looked respectful, stood beside the young man in red robe, and sighed in a low voice: "You are finally here."

On the Rhine, he was the undisputed king.

The Eight-Star Envoy has the support of Hong Pu. In the entire eastern part of Central Continent, there are few extraordinary people with more status than him.

It's just that... He Chan is nothing compared to the man who came to the city.

This time, the person who came to the Rhine Port to investigate the case was "Suzaku", one of the four divine envoys of the Tower of Source!

In the upper city, there are clear hierarchies and strict order. The "power" held by these four divine envoys is enough to change the order established in any city in Central Continent...

What he said now that he was Hong Pu in the Rhine City was true, but as long as Suzaku sent a message, Hong Pu would immediately abandon him.

Under the huge status gap, He Chan did not dare to neglect.

"Such an important 'cargo', how could it be destroyed so easily?"

Suzaku stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the sticky sea.

He said something lightly, causing a lot of cold sweat to break out on He Chan's back.

"At that time, I was negotiating with Huazhi..." He Chan's voice was hoarse and she reported truthfully: "Caroline Ye is responsible for guarding the goods."

"oh?"

Suzaku glanced at Rose, who was waiting quietly not far from the dock.

He asked softly: "So, you mean, it's all her fault, right?"

"……No."

He Chan realized that his answer was wrong and quickly said: "This is not what I meant, and I am not shirk-shipping responsibility. This matter..."

"Slap him."

Suzaku said this calmly.

After hearing this, He Chan gritted his teeth and slapped himself hard.

"It's not loud enough. Try harder."

Suzaku looked at He Chan expressionlessly.

"Snapped!"

This time, the beating was hard enough.

The crisp sound could be heard hundreds of meters away, even by Caroline Ye on the other side of the pier.

He Chan could feel that half of his face became sore after being slapped, like needle pricks, densely packed, red and swollen.

"The goods are destroyed, and you are the person in charge. You have to pay some price... This is considered light." Suzaku said slowly: "The captains under Rose were all killed in the battle, and she herself was injured... This is her fault. The price you paid is dripping with blood. Look at yourself, why are you still unscathed until now? Isn't it aggrieved to slap yourself twice and then have to explain it to me? "

"No, I'm not aggrieved..."

He Chanru was poured a basin of cold water on him, and he suddenly woke up: "Thank you, sir, for reminding me, and thank you, sir, for the punishment."

Suzaku hummed slightly.

He didn't stop at the pier and turned back directly.

Seeing this, He Chan was very surprised and asked cautiously: "Sir, aren't you going to check?"

"How to check?"

Suzaku shook his head and asked: "What can be found just from the viscous substance on the sea? This person dares to do something to the red grape's goods, which shows that he is not afraid... neither afraid of our pursuit, nor afraid of leaving behind evidence."

He Chan was speechless for a while.

"I'm not here to investigate a case. I can't find anything in this case."

Suzaku came to Caroline Ye and did not avoid the content of the conversation, but said lightly: "Ms. Rose, you have worked hard."

Caroline Ye shook her head.

"I have a question."

Suzaku smiled and spoke. He stretched out his palm and motioned for Caroline Ye to look into his eyes.

The latter is unavoidable. This is an "invitation" from a high-ranking person, and it has an irresistible majesty.

The two looked at each other.

Carolyn Ye saw a blazing scarlet sun in the eyes of the young man in red robes. The radiance was so dazzling that she was temporarily distracted and became trance-like.

Suzaku's voice was very soft.

"Excuse me... have you seen the 'cargo' in the freighter?"

He didn't ask about the original details like He Chan did.

He didn't care about the dead captain, nor what happened in the freighter——

The wood has become a boat.

What he cares about is whether Caroline Ye knows what kind of deal Hong Pu is doing.

As this question was raised, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

He Chan's heart was in her throat.

He knew how "treasonous" what Hong Pu had done this time... Once this matter was revealed, it would be certain that he would lose his position as a priest. The "big man" behind it is really terrible. I'm afraid it will cause a shock inside the entire Tower of Source!

"goods……"

Caroline Ye shook her head and said sincerely: "I didn't see it."

This answer made He Chan breathe a sigh of relief.

He patted his chest.

On the other side, Suzaku stared into the eyes of this beautiful woman.

Hmm... Judging by my own telepathy.

She didn't lie.

He showed a bright smile: "Very good, you can go."

…

…

Suzaku stood at the beach for a long time, and He Chan stood with him here.

He didn't dare to figure out the thoughts of the God Envoy.

But he had heard the news from the upper city.

Lord Divine Envoy, in front of the Tower of Origin, fought against Lu Nanjin from Dongzhou... The result of this fight was nothing to say. Lord Divine Envoy won, and it was a big victory!

Lu Nanjin is the biological sister of the lady in Dadu, so she and Hua Zhi are naturally inextricably linked.

He had just negotiated a deal with Hua Zhi... and then something like this happened.

Lord Suzaku Divine Envoy, came to Rhine, did he want to meet the senior officials of the caravan?

"In recent days, the higher-ups have told us that it is best for the envoys to sit in seclusion and meditate, avoid going out as much as possible, and reduce trouble..."

Suzaku suddenly spoke and asked He Chan beside him: "Do you know why this is?"

He Chan shook his head.

He didn't dare to nod, let alone answer randomly.

"Because of the 'fire of wine'."

Suzaku smiled softly, "Red Dragon, Cloud Tiger, and Black Turtle all want to take this fire. We have all passed the first level trial of 'Fire Dream'... But if you want to become a new god, you must at least pass it." The prophet's 'divination' level. That cunning old guy said that the fates of the four of us are all contaminated with broken darkness and chaos. He can't see anyone's fate clearly, so we need to reduce the cause and effect to make it easier for him. See more clearly.”

He Chan was a little nervous. Was this what he should hear?

"Sir, if it were you, you would definitely be able to smelt fire."

He thought for a moment and said respectfully.

"idiot."

Suzaku smiled and cursed unceremoniously, "You are sitting in the position of Rhine, why don't you have any brains? By saying this, aren't you trying to offend the other three?"

He Chan had a silly smile on his face.

If you hadn't seen him negotiating with Hua Zhi, you might have been deceived by his honest and harmless appearance.

"It's just that I don't want to 'go against my will'."

Suzaku said slowly: "Now that I have seen Lu Nanjin, I can't turn a blind eye. If I can't even follow my own heart, what's the point of 'smelting fire'?"

He was practicing at the Tower of Origin. In the early years, before he became a divine envoy, he lived a very difficult life.

It was senior brother Qin Ye who gave him many resources.

This is what we have today.

Qin Ye was kind to him, and he remembered it in his heart, but it was a pity that he had no time to repay... Qin Ye died in Dongzhou.

"Your Majesty is quite right."

He Chan lowered his head in agreement, and then asked slowly: "It's just the prophet's warning, it can't be groundless. It's better for you to be careful. I heard that Lu Nanjin has a junior brother who has made an astonishing rise recently. He is Dong The S-class of the continent, the future Grand Adjudicator."

"That person's name is...Gu Shen."

Suzaku spoke calmly.

He glanced at He Chan and said: "In the future, I will settle the matter for Senior Brother Qin Ye, and this person named Gu will not be able to escape."
