I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Returning to this kind of life happened faster than Ma En had expected, but having experienced escaping from the Southern Federation, he didn't feel particularly unaccustomed to this situation, but rather somewhat familiar.

After confirming these things, the first thing he did was contact Chen Yun to check on her situation. After Ma En's incident, the church became more attentive to her and didn't slowly cultivate her anymore.

Therefore, she was already in the core area of the church, but Ma En still had her find some reasons to go to a "holy land" where powerful foreign ability users couldn't easily invade, to ensure that the Federation wouldn't find her immediately.

Even if the Federation's ability users invaded the holy land and found her, it would take some time to take action, and this time would be enough to alarm the angels and cardinals who could stop them, ensuring her safety.

Of course, he also performed the most basic security measures on Chen Yun, temporarily extracting the information that might cause trouble from her mind, to prevent anyone from searching her memory during this period.

After solving this small problem, he began to wholeheartedly prepare to solve the problem of the Spiritual Treasure.

Xiaoyao's reaction was indeed very bad, but Ma En didn't give up. Although he verbally agreed with Xiaoyao to return after reaching the Golden Core stage, Ma En didn't plan to really cultivate properly.

Xiaoyao obviously wanted to use this thing as a bargaining chip to coerce him into cultivating to the Golden Core stage, but his ultimate goal was definitely not to urge him to cultivate, and the fact that he would use the Golden Core stage as a bargaining chip could only prove one thing.

That is, after he reached the Golden Core stage, Xiaoyao could control him without the Spiritual Treasure.

His several senior brothers and sisters had already proven this. When they cultivated to the Golden Core stage, part of their souls would begin to manifest in the form of mist, and they would be controlled by Xiaoyao.

Moreover, he and Xiaoyao only had a verbal agreement, without signing any binding contract. He couldn't possibly cultivate to the Golden Core stage through other methods. In fact, he really had several different cultivation methods in his mind now, but even if he really broke through to the Golden Core stage through other methods, Xiaoyao would definitely not hand over the Spiritual Treasure.

The only reason that could make Xiaoyao hand over the Spiritual Treasure was that he had other ways to control him, so as long as he wanted to go through this process to obtain the Spiritual Treasure, he had to endure being controlled by the other party for a period of time.

After careful consideration, Ma En still felt that he couldn't take this risk. Even if the Control Bureau could undo this state at any time, it would be almost like directly handing his life over to Xiaoyao.

Whether he lived or died at that time would all depend on whether Xiaoyao wanted to kill him.

Before he could truly determine Xiaoyao's intentions, this was the most foolish thing to do, and at that time, his head would be completely defenseless against Xiaoyao. Even if he could erase his own memory, it would still be very dangerous.

So Ma En decided to activate the backup plan.

He pushed open the door of the meeting room and looked at the girl who was sitting in it with a dazed expression.

Seeing him come in, the girl seemed to relax a little, but her face still showed strong surprise, still full of incomprehension and curiosity about the current situation.

"Senior Brother Ma En, what exactly is going on?" Guan Yi asked in confusion.

Ma En came in carrying a small iron box, and he could also hear faint movements from inside from time to time, as if something was constantly moving around inside.

He casually put the iron box on the table and then explained gently:

"Junior Sister, you should know that I have the ability to erase memories. Actually, this is not the first time you have come here, but in order to guard against our master, I have separated out the memories of you coming here.

If you believe me, just let me enter your mind a little and I can restore that memory."

Hearing this, Guan Yi didn't have any doubts, and she wasn't flustered at all because of being suddenly summoned. She quickly accepted Ma En's explanation, as if what he said was a very ordinary thing.

"Of course I believe you," Guan Yi said without hesitation. "Just do it."

Ma En nodded slightly, and then very gently extracted the memory and implanted it into Guan Yi's mind.

The little junior sister blinked, and then showed a look of realization:

"So that's how it is."

Ma En then said:

"I promised you that I would help you escape from Xiaoyao's clutches whenever I had the opportunity, but I'm sorry, I can't take you away now, because I still have something to do.

If I don't complete this matter, I probably won't be able to contend with Xiaoyao."

Guan Yi smiled:

"Just tell me what to do.

You saved my life. If you want me to repay you, you only need to say a word. Although I'm definitely not as good as those chivalrous people who value loyalty above everything else, I still understand the principle of repaying kindness."

As someone who grew up in the cultivation world, going through fire and water for one's life-saving benefactor was nothing.

Ma En nodded slightly and then said directly:

"Xiaoyao is unwilling to hand over the Spiritual Treasure he crafted so easily. Do you have any clues as to where he hid the Spiritual Treasure, and can you think of any way?"

Guan Yi frowned and began to search her mind for the impressions of the master in the remaining memories of several senior brothers and sisters:

"I think the master is likely to carry it with him. It's almost impossible to obtain this Spiritual Treasure from him. I think you may already be able to understand now that if cultivators want to, their abilities can become very comprehensive.

And the master is a particularly comprehensive kind among the Nascent Soul cultivators, and there are no flaws to be found."

Ma En said:

"I don't need to take it away, I just need to hold this thing for about thirty seconds. At that time, even Xiaoyao won't be able to stop me. Do you think we have any chance of creating such an opportunity?"

Guan Yi said:

"According to our usual understanding, thirty seconds is indeed not enough to refine such a Spiritual Treasure. The master may not be particularly wary of anyone doing this, but there must be a suitable reason before doing so.

I can't think of how to get the master to take out this thing. His body is scattered all over the desolate world, and he can also keep the Spiritual Treasure safe. I don't think I have any chance to touch it.

Even if I really can touch it, I will definitely be under the master's surveillance."

Ma En nodded slightly:

"In other words, I have to find a reasonable way to come into contact with the anti-spiritual metal. Can you think of anything I can do to make Xiaoyao change his mind? Is his purpose in doing this really to establish a sect?"

Guan Yi showed an apologetic expression:

"I'm sorry, but I really don't know what he's thinking."

Ma En nodded slightly:

"It's okay, I…"

Before he could speak, a paragraph of text popped up in front of him.
