Chapter 115: [114] Divine Artifact

Cheng Han recalled the face of the Life Priest and decisively muttered, "Calculate!"

Having calculated the whereabouts of this person multiple times before, he had already captured the connection, so he succeeded in one try.

A chill ran down his scalp.

His mental value dropped slightly.

An illusion immediately appeared:

In the midst of a sea of fire, an old two-story building had already been engulfed by flames.

A figure surrounded by black mist suddenly shot out from the sea of fire.

It was the Life Priest.

Cheng Han decisively activated the True Flame Remnant Seal and made a grabbing motion with his right hand.

In the image...

"Poof!"

A burst of fire snakes spewed out, condensing into a flaming hand that quickly grabbed towards the Life Priest.

This was a technique Cheng Han had "stolen" from Xuan Shi when they were competing for the Divine Soul Stone from the authorities.

The Life Priest shouted and his whole person dissipated into black smoke, flying more than twenty meters away at an extremely fast speed, escaping the grasp of the flaming giant hand.

Cheng Han frowned slightly. "The nature of his power leans towards darkness, but it also contains a hidden vitality. How strange!"

This attack was only a test, and he also wanted to capture more connections.

It didn't matter if he failed.

He quickly made another calculation and smiled, "Xuan Shi is coming soon."

The purpose of the crazy arson was twofold: first, it was for the previous test, and second, it was to guide the official workers.

The latter was the main purpose.

As expected...

A powerful fluctuation suddenly surged from a certain place in Qinglin City.

A flash of white light appeared in the sky, and a beam of light descended, with two figures in black robes suddenly appearing near the sea of fire.

Cheng Han chuckled, "The previous analysis was correct. The Xuan Formation set up by the authorities in Qinglin City not only has the ability to attack with the light pillar, but also has short-range teleportation capabilities."

"However, the strength of the three followers of the Divine Gods last time was too strong, and Xuan Shi didn't want to take the risk of coming to join the battle, so he chose to use the light pillar attack."

"But the light pillar attack was too strong and easily destroyed the spoils of war. They realized that the Life Priest wasn't that powerful, so they came to squeeze a soft persimmon..."

Soon, a fierce battle began.

The Life Priest frantically fled, while the two Xuan Shi pursued closely, engaging in aerial combat from time to time.

Cheng Han observed for a while, collected more connections, and made a timely calculation. His expression changed slightly, "The state of the Life Priest is very strange. This person most likely has a backer."

The result of the calculation showed that the Life Priest's extraordinary power seemed to be linked to a mysterious existence.

In other words, this person's true combat power was stronger than what he had shown.

Cheng Han seemed to understand something. "The Life Priest is transmitting information, most likely using this thing. The organization of the Prayer Society is even more secretive than I expected."

"No wonder they have been active for so many years without being caught by the authorities. If I hadn't coincidentally seen the mark on Xie You's chest, I'm afraid I wouldn't have noticed this person."

"Speaking of which, the more cautious the Prayer Society is, the more astonishing the things they are plotting."

After more than ten seconds, the situation suddenly changed.

The Life Priest seemed to find it difficult to shake off his pursuers. He suddenly shouted, "Praise the Lord," and his aura underwent a subtle change.

Cheng Han was not surprised. "Guessed it right, this guy indeed has a trump card!"

He skillfully captured a strand of connection and muttered again, "Analyze!"

Information immediately surged up.

But it was pitifully little.

Cheng Han was taken aback. "'Spirit Source Bridge'? What is that?"

According to the analysis, the "Spirit Source Bridge" was the source of the Life Priest's power, and the fact that there was so little information indicated that it was of a very high level and was most likely closely related to the Divine Gods.

He immediately thought of something. "These two Xuan Shi are too greedy. I'm afraid they will encounter danger."

He and Xuan Shi had greatly underestimated the Life Priest, but the difference was that he had only made a small mistake, while Xuan Shi might lose his life.

Cheng Han hesitated for a moment and took out a secret puppet. "Forget it, I will eventually enter the Xuan Pavilion and may even become colleagues with them. I should do what I can to save people."

This secret puppet was his trump card.

He activated the Linghuan Remnant Seal and instantly connected with something.

In the western part of the city, inside another house.

A member of the Dark Fist Gang who was sleeping suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked around and moved his limbs, his tone full of excitement. "How interesting!"

This was naturally Cheng Han's doing.

After observing the divine battle earlier and gaining a huge amount of knowledge, with the three major remnant seals greatly improved, he finally deduced the ability to remotely participate in battles using puppets.

Although his combat power was only thirty percent of his true body, it was safe.

It was just a puppet, and he wouldn't feel sorry if it was lost. Moreover, the person chosen was just a social scum, so his death would be considered purifying the city environment.

The member of the Dark Fist Gang looked down at his hands and laughed softly, "I am the Underworld!"

In the next instant, a dark light surged.

It instantly covered his figure.

When the dark light disappeared, there was no one left in the original spot.

Three kilometers away.

A dark mass suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

A figure was faintly visible within it.

The two sides in the battle were equally surprised.

The arrival of the Leap of Dark Light was undoubtedly a rare technique of flash escape.

Normal flash escapes usually have significant fluctuations in source energy, but this person's fluctuations were surprisingly small, which far exceeded the imagination of ordinary extraordinary individuals. How could the three of them not be vigilant?

Cheng Han's gaze turned to the Life Priest and grinned, "What should I call you? She Luo, or Shang Jiu? Or maybe 'Giovanni'?"

This was the part that he found difficult to understand. Just now, the All-Knowing Eye deduced the personal information of the Life Priest and actually obtained three names.

If there was only one normal name and one Satyr clan name, it would be easy to understand, but what's the meaning of three names?

The Life Priest responded with a question, "Who exactly are you?"

Cheng Han understood that the more calm the other party appeared, the more surprised they probably were. It seemed that the three names definitely concealed a big secret.

He spoke indifferently, "Who I am is not important. The key is, what does the Prayer of Life want to do?"

On the other side, the two Xuan Masters seemed to realize the high value of this conversation. They held the attitude of wanting to listen more and did not rush to take action.

The Life Priest slowly said, "I sense the 'hidden' aura and also smell the scent of puppets. Which faction's strongman are you?"

With just the puppet body alone, being able to use the rare technique of 'flash escape', any knowledgeable extraordinary individual would understand what that meant.

The person's true body was at least at the level of a Xuan Master.

This was definitely a powerful individual!

The two Xuan Masters exchanged glances and quickly distanced themselves.

Cheng Han sensed the other party's aura, accumulated associations, and continued to probe, "Giovanni, after lurking in Qinglin City for so long for the development of your followers, you must miss the Ruin, right?"

That stone coffin came from the Ruin, with carvings of flowers, nuts, and seeds on it, possibly related to the Prayer of Life. The possibility of Giovanni coming from the Ruin was not low.

The Life Priest fell silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Sir, I may have guessed your origin."

Cheng Han neither confirmed nor denied, "Is that so?"

I don't even know which faction I belong to. Could you please enlighten me on which pier I should worship?

The Life Priest also seemed to have a probing attitude, "Which member of the 'Council of Doom' are you?"

Cheng Han was a little confused.

Besides the Divine Descent Corps, there was also a Council of Doom? There were really a lot of strange organizations under the command of the Divine Gods.

He instantly analyzed more information. The Council of Doom and the Prayer of Life were probably in a hostile relationship.

The Life Priest chuckled, "It seems that I guessed right."

Cheng Han remained silent.

The other party voluntarily shifted the blame to the Council of Doom. What did it have to do with him?

But in the eyes of others, this was undoubtedly an admission.

The Life Priest sighed, "The series of bloodshed in the city should be your masterpiece, aimed at forcing me out. Now that you've set your sights on me, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape."

Cheng Han's expression was quite subtle, but with the cover of the Dark Light, others couldn't see it.

He had just deduced that with the help of the Thousand Spirit Source Bridge, the Life Priest's strength could be increased by at least twice. Even if the two Xuan Masters and himself joined forces, it would be difficult to defeat the other party.

The Life Priest bowed slightly, "Sir, until we meet again."

This person looked up and devoutly chanted, "Praise the Lord!"

As soon as the words fell,

The Life Priest fell to the ground, completely losing his breath of life.

He's dead.

Cheng Han was stunned for a moment.

Did he commit suicide?

He immediately realized something was wrong and immediately made a deduction.

The result was confusing.

She Luo is dead.

But Shang Jiu, also known as Giovanni, is still alive.

There is no doubt.

He just bluffed earlier, scaring Giovanni away.

Cheng Han shook his head and decided to retreat.

The next moment,

A dark mass suddenly surged from under the underworld.

The apparition came.

In an instant,

The underworld was engulfed in dark flames, and the apparition opened its mouth wide, swallowing the underworld directly.

On the other side,

The two Xuan Shi were stunned when they saw the apparition disappear.

"This person must be from the underworld!"

"The Xuan Ge's speculation was correct. The underworld indeed controls the portal to and from the otherworld and has the ability to travel to the otherworld at any time."

The two glanced at each other, both filled with awe.

Xin Cheng Trading Company.

Cheng Han broke the illusion and muttered to himself, "I thought I needed to put on a show, but it turned out to be all bark and no bite. What a waste of a puppet."

This is a flaw of the puppet, it's a disposable item. Once used, it can only be treated as garbage, but there should be room for improvement in the future.

He recalled the experience just now and fell into deep thought.

"Shang Jiu, or Giovanni, most likely used some kind of secret technique to occupy She Luo's body, allowing the two to coexist in a unique way.

"This is by no means an ordinary method. Giovanni must have relied on the 'Wan Ling Yuan Qiao', but he also had to pay a certain price. This guy suffered a loss."

Cheng Han couldn't help but be amazed, "I originally thought it could only transmit messages, but I didn't expect it to be able to transfer souls as well. The background of the Prayer Society is deeper than I imagined.

"Manipulating souls is the specialty of the Divine Beings. There is a more than 90% chance that the Wan Ling Yuan Qiao is a powerful artifact created by the Lord of Shadows himself.

"No wonder when I deduced the Life Priest before, I didn't get much information. This guy has the protection of an artifact, so the All-Knowing Eye naturally couldn't do anything."

Although the above is just speculation.

Cheng Han felt that it was very close to the truth.
