Barrier of Light

The heavy rain for several days has stopped.

There is still a layer of haze hanging over the zenith, and thick volcanic ash floats above the cloud top. In the world captured by [Sky Eye], this isolated island is like a polluted crystal ball, and every inch of the land cannot be clearly seen.

Good thing.

News of the Holy City finally reached——

The Church of Storms decided to send 1,600 low-level extraordinary beings as reinforcements south to Sangzhou Cave and distribute them to the four continents, each with a number of 400... Of course, these extraordinary beings all have a fourth-level archbishop and three third-level extraordinary beings. The bishop leads.

In addition, there is a top-level fourth-level "saint" who will come south.

Balance is the way of all things.

The big hunt in Sangzhou Cave is about to begin. No matter how much the Holy City allows the extraordinary people from other continents to plunder resources, it still needs to control the situation... It is said that the fourth-level saint who went south this time is the youngest follower personally accepted by the Storm God Throne.

Tianshui was not involved in the situation, nor was the foreign account ban involved. On the surface, the rules had been formed.

Therefore, the Holy City can only send Tier 4 at most.

"The youngest 'saint', named 'Jadi', is probably a fourth-level transcendent at the same level as 'Lu Zhe'."

Gu Shen was sitting at the top of the city in S12 area.

The Holy City team has already set off and will arrive soon.

"It is said that he is the youngest saint, but Jiadi is actually more than thirty years old... The saints in the holy city are generally twenty or thirty years older than him." Chu Ling said: "Five years ago, Jiadi became He is already the top expert in the fourth level, and Dongzhou's database has collected his information. At that time, he had already comprehended two realms. Logically speaking, he should have completed the 'title' promotion in these years."

"But he didn't."

Gu Shen said calmly: "So he is suppressing his realm so that he can help the church come forward and solve some troubles that are difficult to solve... just like this moment."

"Yes."

Chu Ling said: "When resolving disputes across continents, the status of being banned is an obstacle. Extraordinary people of this level often represent a large family and a large force. Once they represent the will of the continent, they cannot be 'unscrupulous' , but the fourth level will not be affected, everyone knows each other well, and silently abide by this agreement."

Under the constraints of this kind of rules, fourth-level transcendents are often more precious than being banned!

They are strong enough!

As long as the rules allow, the combat power of the fourth-level transcendent is basically invincible... This is why Meng Xiao fell and Guangming City sent Jia Wei north, because Central City must abide by the rules.

In the fourth level, even Lu Zhe can only be evenly matched with Jia Wei.

No one can keep him!

"The appearance of Jia Di is actually to tell Sizhou... not to go too far."

Chu Ling continued: "The existence of Lu Zhe and Jia Wei needs to be checked and balanced. In addition, the red dragon in the Tower of Source is also suspected to have the strength of 'fourth-level transcendence'..."

"So, Dongzhou is the weakest?"

Gu Shen laughed dumbly.

"If you want to say so..."

Chu Ling paused.

"That's true."

In terms of paper strength, Dongzhou is indeed inferior to the other three continents.

Baixiu, Chen Mei, Gu Shen——

Shen Li, who has not yet broken through, can be ignored at this moment.

In the duel between high-level extraordinary beings, at most one more Sucha can be added. This is the "fourth level" that Dongzhou possesses.

The quality is good and the quantity is not bad either.

But the top level strength is not as good as the other three continents.

"It's a pity that Song Ci is still in seclusion." Gu Shen said with emotion: "If he had come, he would have stepped on Suzaku's face with the sole of his foot."

"It's indeed a pity."

Chu Ling said: "With Song Ci's strength, if he successfully completes his training with Mr. Bai Shu, there should be one more 'fourth-level transcendent' in Dongzhou."

"Maybe it's 'banned'?"

Gu Shen thought for a while and then said: "But with this guy's character... there is a high probability that he will not break through. Taking the title of federal conferment, apart from being more prestigious, there is no other benefit, and it will hinder everything in his work."

Song Ci went to Qing Tomb to practice in order to return to Dadu and be able to better help Lu Nanzhi solve her problems.

In this case, it is better not to break the boundary than to break the boundary.

While talking and laughing, Gu Shen's mental sea received a message.

…

…

The high walls of area S12 are closed.

Gu Shen, Bai Xiu, Chen Mei, and Shen Li, the four leaders who performed tasks on behalf of Dongzhou, came outside the area to greet them.

The source energy boat of the Church of Storms rowed across the sky——

This was purchased by the Holy City from Beizhou at a huge cost.

"Yuan Shuocheng, one of the eighteen archbishops of the Holy City of the Church of Storms."

"He was born in Jiuning District, Dongzhou. He came into contact with the Storm Faith in the tundra zone when he was young. After awakening to the extraordinary, he followed the church south, practicing all the way, rising step by step, and eventually became a loyal member of the Storm Church."

"In addition to the congregation, you can also use another word to understand--"

"running dog."

With a smile on his face, Gu Shen conducted a mental message to the three people beside him.

"Why can't I find this information..." Little Iron Man muttered, "Is this also the result of divination?"

"No, it's just that the investigation level is higher than yours."

Gu Shen said with a joking smile: "What level do you have to have the same investigative authority as me?"

"This man is not simple."

Chen Mei also did some simple investigations.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the slowly landing energy boat. "The internal struggle in the Holy City is very fierce, otherwise there would not be many churches in the past where demons are dancing around... An outsider born in Dongzhou wants to be in the Holy City." Sitting in the position of 'Archbishop' of the Church of Storms is definitely not as simple as being tyrannical. It is said that the Holy City can purchase these 'energy boats' because of the transaction promoted by Yuan Shuocheng."

"oh?"

Gu Shen immediately made a thought and used Hell Fire to convey the news to Mu Wanqiu.

Not long after, Mu Wanqiu replied: "I just asked, Central City is too big, and the Army doesn't know what it was like to be responsible for the 'Energy Boat' transaction..."

The Survey Corps is busy outside the Great Wall all year round.

Zhu Xue might be more aware of this kind of thing.

So Gu Shen sent the message to Lin Lin backhand, but Lin Lin should be busy, and the guy's reply speed has been very slow.

While several people were talking, the source energy boat had completed its landing.

A middle-aged man with a bloated figure and a blue holy robe, with a smile on his face, was trotting towards Gu Shen with difficulty. At the same time, he opened his arms and made a warm hug.

"What's going on with this guy...?"

"Is this a hug? Are we familiar with him?"

Shen Li and Chen Mei both had complicated expressions.

Bai Xiu silently took a step back.

"Mr. Gu!"

Yuan Shuocheng opened his arms, obviously facing Gu Shen... The three people behind him stepped back without leaving any trace. Gu Shen could only step forward, and he stretched out a hand in a shaking gesture.

But it didn't work.

Yuan Shuocheng gave Gu Shen a "warm" hug.

"A disciple of Master Qianye, a disciple of the Grand Adjudicator, a unique 'S-class' in Dongzhou, I have admired my name for a long time, I have admired my name for a long time..."

The first conversation they met made Gu Shen know that this guy was not a good guy.

Yuan Shuocheng's opening remarks obviously had an ulterior motive.

Especially the four words unique...

An extraordinary person who has investigated Dongzhou and has an in-depth understanding of it must know Gu Shen and Bai Xiu.

These two "S-levels" are both very good.

It's just that they often make a mistake...thinking that if there are two stars in the sky, there will be a fight.

Just as the Tower of Source sent four divine envoys to the south to perform a mission this time, many people can guess that this is actually a fire trial involving "internal competition". The four divine envoys are all powerful, but there is only one final winner. .

This kind of thinking often misunderstands the situation in Dongzhou——

Today, Dongzhou is more united than ever before.

"..."

Yuan Shuocheng gave Gu Shen a warm hug, and then glanced at Bai Xiu.

This young man in white, who also has "S-level" strength, is calmer than he imagined.

To be precise, there was no ripple at all!

Was it because he didn't understand the meaning of his words, or... was he pretending not to care?

"Your Mightiness……"

After Yuan Shuocheng hugged him, he wanted to shake hands with Gu Shen. At this time, Gu Shen removed his hand.

He dusted off his clothes and said coldly: "Don't get so close next time."

"Mr. Gu, you are really famous. Please forgive me for my presumption just now."

Yuan Shuocheng laughed and didn't care, "I haven't seen a living Dongzhou person for a long time... I'm really sorry, I was excited for a while, don't mind, don't mind."

"Heh...it's nothing."

Gu Shen also smiled, "Maybe it's because Bishop Yuan has seen too little of the world, or because the customs in the Holy City are different from those in Nagano, and there is not much etiquette. After all... this is also the first time I have seen a living 'Bishop of the Holy City'."

Yuan Shuocheng's face twitched.

What is this word?

Can a person say this?

"Mr. Gu, it's not appropriate to talk too much today. The big hunt is approaching. My subordinates have rushed here from the Holy City and are tired now. We need to go to the city to rest."

Yuan Shuocheng swallowed his previous breath with difficulty, barely maintained the smile on his face, and changed the topic.

After arriving in Area S12, his posture was to only talk to Gu Shen.

He ignored Chen Mei and Bai Xiu.

As for Shen Li, let alone... Yuan Shuocheng recognized Shen Li's third-level realm at first sight, and didn't even take a second look at this guy.

After he finished speaking, he was ready to move forward.

Just the next moment——

"Crack!"

A very crisp sound of cracking frost sounded at the soles of Yuan Shuocheng's feet. The moment the huge archbishop lowered his head to check, a gloomy moment flashed in his eyes. But when he raised his head, it suddenly returned to the original state, leaving only the harmless smile of humans and animals. Meaning: "Mr. Gu, what does this mean?"

Gu Shen's "Pure Land" Qingshuang froze half of his calf.

"Means nothing."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "Mr. Yuan, there is no need to go to the city to rest... You can rest outside the city. Tomorrow is a big hunt. Going into the city is tiring, so why not live outside the city and rest in the energy boat instead of going into the city? Much more convenient.”

Shen Li immediately took the call and said with emotion: "Brother Gu is so considerate. Mr. Yuan must be very touched, right?"

"???"

There were faint veins on Yuan Shuocheng's forehead.

What's the point?

He led four hundred extraordinary beings all the way to Sangzhou Cave, but he couldn't even get through the gate of the city?

The reason why the Holy City has not sent a stationed team is not because it cannot gather low-level extraordinary beings... On the contrary, there are countless low-level extraordinary beings who are willing to go south, mainly the archbishops within the Holy City, and no one is willing to go.

The four continents are mixed and the situation is chaotic!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that going south this time is by no means an easy task... In addition to hunting beast spirits, he also has to be among the unruly geniuses from the four continents and complete additional tasks assigned by the saint.

Yuan Shuocheng knew that his task was not easy, but he didn't know that he was stuck at the first level!

Why does Dongzhou, who is the weakest on paper, dare to speak so harshly!

"It's quite touching..."

Yuan Shuocheng took a breath and gave the steps with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mr. Gu deliberately prepared a joke for me."

"joke……"

However, Gu Shen did not follow the steps.

He stopped smiling little by little and asked seriously: "Do you think it's funny?"

The other three people in Dongzhou all stopped laughing.

Of course, Baixiu never smiled from beginning to end.

"..."

The scene fell into a stalemate, and cold sweat broke out on Yuan Shuocheng's forehead. He was not smiling, nor was he not smiling. His expression was extremely ugly at the moment.

"Isn't it funny?"

"I think it's quite funny."

Gu Shen suddenly laughed again.

He stretched out his palm, patted Yuan Shuocheng's shoulder bit by bit, and said with a smile: "Bishop Yuan, please don't mind. I'm just worried that getting too close to me won't be good for you. The church... I'm afraid... There will be a misunderstanding.”

"This time for the great hunt, I am responsible for supporting the South Cave... This is a task personally assigned by the Saint 'Jadi'."

Yuan Shuocheng quickly stretched out his finger, pointed at the zenith, and said sincerely: "Sage Jiadi knows who I am, and he will not misunderstand me... By the way, I forgot to remind you, Saint Jiadi is holding the 'Tide' in his hand. Coming with authority, the voices of all things in Sangzhou Cave are now in the sea of ​​his skull.”

The power of the Storm Throne [Tide]... you can listen to the sound of the blue ocean tides and the sounds of all creatures in the sea.

This shape of authority is said to be a curved conch, which corresponds to the [Cloud Mirror] of the God's Throne in the sky.

Gu Shen heard the implication of Yuan Shuocheng's words.

Everything that happens here is under the control of the "Jadi" saint.

He meets Gu Shen.

It was equivalent to Jia Di and Gu Shen meeting.

This is a clear plan to move out of the mountains to suppress people——

It's a pity that Dongzhou doesn't like this.

"Since Saint Gadi can hear it, that's even better."

Gu Shen said calmly, "If I had known better, I wouldn't have gone out of the city to greet you. Anyway, the sounds from the island can reach your ears... Dongzhou Gu Shen has met here. I came with the will of the God of War, I hope this cooperation with the Holy City will go smoothly."

This sentence was naturally meant for Yuan Shuocheng.

He moved out of Gadi, and the storm behind him——

Gu Shen will definitely move out of Douzhan!

The essential reason why Sangzhou Cave was reduced to a chessboard is because the Storm God Seat went to the Ice Sea!

Whether it's welcoming each other or cooperating, it's just a show.

This is something that everyone has known for a long time.

After saying this, the scene became a little quiet again.

"The joke from before was quite funny."

Yuan Shuocheng laughed and took the initiative to break the silence. He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and asked with a smile: "Mr. Gu, now that you have said hello, is it time to let me enter the city?"

The smile on Gu Shen's face disappeared again.

He looked at Yuan Shuocheng seriously.

The meaning in his eyes... couldn't be more obvious.

At this moment, there is wind blowing in the wilderness.

The faint sound of the tide, accompanied by the authority of [Tide], sounded in everyone's ears.

This is the voice of Gadi.

"Mr. Xiao Gu, I heard your voice and greetings."

The saint's voice was calm and not angry.

Obviously he already knew everything that happened here.

"There is no need for complicated etiquette. The most important thing is that you and I work together to quickly deal with the beast spirit in the South Cave."

After saying that... there was no more sound in the wilderness.

This is a great answer.

Don't offend anyone.

Then he passed the question to Yuan Shuocheng below.

Gu Shen's heart was not disturbed, and he even felt a little sarcastic. Of course he would not commemorate the good deeds of Saint Jiadi. This was just an act.

Yuan Shuocheng played the bad role, and Jia Di naturally had to play the red face.

But the drama ends here.

Gu Shen was too lazy to continue acting.

He looked at Yuan Shuocheng and said calmly: "Bishop Yuan, since Saint Jiadi has spoken and said that he wants to keep everything simple, it would be better for you to camp outside. If the beast tide is not eliminated, I think you will not have the shame to hide behind the high wall. Among them, right?”
