Chapter 423: [422] Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Flowers, General Jiang Lanyun as a Thug

Thousands of miles away.

Zhuo'an Small Spirit Realm.

The sky has become slightly darker.

Night is about to fall on this land.

Arthur, the former Speaker of the Destruction Mission, is wearing slightly old civilian clothes and walking hurriedly on a street.

At this time, it is the time when various factories get off work, and the road is crowded with people.

Arthur blends in with the crowd and appears inconspicuous.

He took a few steps, glanced at the flowers in the green belt on the side of the road, and a strange mark in his spiritual sea trembled.

A stream of information appeared in his mind out of thin air.

In a very low voice, Arthur muttered, "I have lived for hundreds of years and have seen this kind of flower countless times. Today, I finally know it's called 'August Summer'."

Now it is the end of August, the tail of summer, and the blooming season of August Summer.

The information also indicated that if the petals of August Summer were boiled and ingested, it would have a certain effect on infants who sweat excessively.

Arthur couldn't help but sigh, "The 'Flower Appreciation Mark' is truly amazing!"

Just by smelling the fragrance of the flower, he could instantly know the name of the flower and understand various information about its effects. Even though he is a powerful cultivator, he still finds it somewhat unbelievable.

The route chosen by the former Speaker is not aimless wandering, but a skillful way to surround the target.

That is the Number 6 Bird's Nest.

The Prayer Society has set up a highly advanced communication point in this small spirit realm, with a total of six secret bases, known as "bird's nests".

Each of the first five bird's nests hides a "puzzle secret letter". The duty of the messenger is to collect the five secret letters and use a specific decryption method to obtain the complete content of the secret letter.

Arthur's mind turned to other thoughts, "The Prayer Society probably has a group of people who are completely isolated and are planning this matter."

"This hidden bird's nest in Zhuo'an Small Spirit Realm is definitely the only channel for these guys to communicate with the outside world."

Arthur's footsteps slowed down slightly, "The messenger seems to be a bishop-level cultivator. It seems that this matter will probably be directly conveyed to the Blood Skull Archbishop."

The former Speaker had been squatting here for a few days. An hour ago, he unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a figure that faintly exuded the aura of a follower of a strange god.

This is a unique and mysterious intuition.

If he hadn't been mingling with the Strange God organization for hundreds of years, it would have been extremely difficult to detect any clues.

And the result of deducing the Flower Appreciation Mark was a blank, and he instantly realized that the other party's identity was very extraordinary.

Most likely, this is the messenger!

Arthur was cautious and didn't dare to approach easily, so he sought help from his superior.

And the Flower Appreciation Mark bestowed by his superior from afar, with its powerful abilities, truly surprised and delighted the former Speaker.

Soon.

Arthur's pace slowed imperceptibly.

He smelled it!

This is the scent of the messenger!

In his spiritual sea.

The light cluster representing the Flower Appreciation Mark suddenly expanded a lot.

Arthur's eyes flickered, and a series of information flashed through his mind, "Purple Wisteria Calyx, seven minutes ago... Green Fragrance Pea, thirty-six minutes ago... Jade Hairpin Thistle, one hour and twenty-four minutes ago..."

The essence of the fragrance emitted by flowers is actually a fragrant oil secreted by the petals, constantly evaporating outward.

As long as anyone passes by the flowers, their clothes and body surface will inevitably be contaminated with a very small amount of fragrant oil.

For ordinary cultivators, even if they have extraordinary sense of smell, they can at most distinguish the type of flower, but cannot determine the specific time.

And as time goes by, after about half an hour to an hour, once the fragrance oil dissipates completely, it can no longer be recognized.

But this Flower Appreciation Mark can!

The mark can accurately determine the time when an item is contaminated with aromatic oil, down to the level of "minutes," and can even trace back up to three days ago.

This is the power of the Wondrous Spirit Rong Rui.

In a transcendent sense, any flower that grows on the Wanhao God Banyan Tree has a mysterious connection with the Banyan Tree itself.

Or rather, an association.

To some extent, the Wondrous Spirit Rong Rui can be considered the "ancestor of all flowers," and of course, it can trace the associations.

Cheng Han deduced the ability of "recognizing a beauty by its fragrance," which possesses such magical power.

Therefore, regardless of whether the floral fragrance exists, the mark of appreciating flowers can still be traced to determine how many different floral fragrances the messenger has come into contact with during this recent period of time.

At this moment.

A hint of excitement flashed in Arthur's eyes: "The messenger has the protection of extraordinary power, which can resist the deduction mark, but the floral fragrance has exposed his whereabouts."

"As long as we take the floral fragrance and time as the objects, and utilize the powerful force of the deduction mark, we can deduce a large amount of information in reverse."

"In this way, I don't need to follow the messenger to figure out his route of action, nor do I need to worry about being discovered by him."

The former Speaker couldn't help but admire: "The combination of these two marks is really powerful!"

Arthur looked up at the darker sky and his awe for the mysterious person deepened: "Who exactly is this person?"

The fear in his heart far outweighed the respect.

The former Speaker fully understood that if he betrayed the mysterious person, he would undoubtedly die.

With the terrifying methods shown by the other party, even if he had the protection of a Xuan Du powerhouse who guarded him continuously, he would probably die a very ugly death.

Arthur took a deep breath and made a decisive decision: "Let's return to the residence first, deduce the messenger's trajectory, and then make further plans."

*

Half an hour later.

Inside an old residential building.

Arthur completed the final deduction and determined the messenger's location two and a half days ago based on the fragrance of a flower called "White Jade Fragrant Primrose."

This is within the three-day limit.

Of course.

This is also the result of "castration."

The complete "recognizing a beauty by its fragrance" can trace back up to seven days.

At this moment.

Arthur suddenly had a feeling.

He immediately sank his consciousness into the sea of his mind and found a gray-green light cluster that quickly dissipated into dots, and then the dots dimmed.

The mark of appreciating flowers disappeared.

Arthur sighed with regret: "If only I could have it all the time."

It was precisely because he had experienced the power of the mark that he felt more and more reluctant to part with it.

Arthur adjusted his mood, looked at a simple map, and immediately picked up a pencil to quickly make a simple "X" mark.

This is the map of the Zhuo'an Small Spirit Realm.

Up to now.

There are a total of thirty-eight "X" marks on it.

Each "X" represents the location where the messenger has come into contact with floral fragrances, and also represents the locations where he has stayed.

Arthur picked up the pencil again and quickly connected all the "X" marks into a long black line in chronological order.

He looked at a city and muttered, "After entering Baoqing City, this guy actually made two circles, quite cautious!"

Within the city limits, the black line actually formed two circles.

This is completely understandable.

The purpose of the messenger doing this is naturally to confirm the status of each bird's nest.

If any of the bird's nests were secretly monitored, the messenger would immediately stop their actions.

The former Speaker's gaze turned to the airship station in the Zuo'an Xiaolingjing, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "This guy is really cunning."

On the map.

The pencil line first extended backwards to the airship station, then followed the Tongtian Road, extending for about a hundred kilometers, and then turned back to the Zuo'an Xiaolingjing.

It can be imagined.

The messenger quietly entered the Tongtian Road, halfway climbed aboard an airship, arrived at the Zuo'an airship station, and then entered the city.

Arthur admired, "If conventional means were used to track, I'm afraid this damn thing would be misled into thinking he came from a nearby Xiaolingjing."

If the above situation really happened, not only would he have made a trip in vain, but he would also be considered ineffective by the mysterious person.

With this thought.

The former Speaker muttered from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you, my lord!"

Arthur's gaze finally fell on a spot in the wilderness.

The source of the black line was right there.

Without hesitation, he picked up the pencil and quickly drew a circle on the map, smiling, "It should be here!"

This circle is close to the edge of the Xiaolingjing, about eighty kilometers away from the nearest city.

After pondering for a while, Arthur activated the imprint in his mind and respectfully reported, "Respected sir, I have preliminary results."

"Buzz~"

The sound of an ethereal string suddenly rang out.

A faint voice appeared out of thin air in his mind, saying, "Speak!"

Arthur had already prepared his script and quickly said, "Sir, here's what happened. With the help of the two imprints you gave me..."

The former Speaker recounted the entire process of the investigation.

Finally, Arthur stated his conclusion, "In my personal judgment, there is a high probability that there is a secret stronghold of the Prayer Society in the 'Dongwang Waterfall' area of Zuo'an."

He paused for a moment and emphasized, "And it is a very important stronghold. Blood Skull Archbishop is very likely to have set foot there, or perhaps hiding there."

The so-called "waterfall" is essentially a river that flows outside the Xiaolingjing, forming a suspended waterfall at the edge of the Xiaolingjing.

After thinking for a moment, Arthur added, "You must know that the important strongholds of major divine organizations are usually not set in the city or near the city."

"Because the guarding palace of the Xuan Pavilion regularly uses the Xuan Array to monitor every corner of the city..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.

"Buzz!"

The impatient tone of the ethereal male voice came through, "This common knowledge that everyone knows, there is no need to repeat it."

Arthur looked sincerely anxious, "I'm very sorry, sir!"

The former Speaker silently drew a conclusion, "The mysterious person is very familiar with the divine organizations. Even if he is not the renegade Archbishop of the Prayer Society, he is still connected to other divine organizations."

The addition of common knowledge was intentional, aimed at probing the mysterious person.

The ethereal male voice spoke again, "You did well! I need you to do one more thing."

Arthur's heart tightened.

Could it be that the mysterious person wants me to monitor the Dongwang Waterfall? There might be Blood Skull Archbishop there, and I, as a Xuan Master, might not return if I go there!

But he was the knife and the other was the fish, so he didn't dare to say much.

With a strong sense of unease, Arthur respectfully replied, "Please give your orders, sir!"

It felt like ten minutes had passed.

The ethereal male voice finally gave the task, "After some time, when the messenger has completed their task, go to Bird's Nest No. 6, understand?"

Arthur quickly responded, "Understood!"

He immediately felt a great sense of relief.

This is just a simple task, as long as you're careful, there won't be any danger.

Meanwhile...

The former speaker was full of doubts.

What does the mysterious person want to do?

*

Tai'an Xiaoxuan Palace.

The living quarters.

Second floor study.

Cheng Han looked out the window at the night sky, his lips slightly curled up: "Waterfalls are areas with very complex terrain, perfect for hiding.

"Such terrain often produces many underground waterways, which are natural escape routes. If I were the Blood Skull Archbishop, I would also prioritize choosing such a place.

"It seems that even if we can't find the Blood Skull Archbishop this time, there is still a considerable chance of catching the tail of this mysterious supervisor."

Cheng Han fell into deep thought again: "What should I do next?"

With his own strength alone, he definitely couldn't take down a supervisor-level powerhouse. He planned to use Lan Yun, the God General, as his enforcer.

But the problem is, he can't just directly tell the God General, "There may be the Blood Skull Archbishop hiding in a place, please take action immediately," right?

If he did that, the God General would definitely become suspicious.

Cheng Han muttered softly to himself: "It would be best to find a way to stage a play, in a logical way, to have the God General personally exert a bit of power."

He pondered for a long time, and a plan gradually took shape in his mind.

Cheng Han pondered it over several times, and smiled: "Let's do it this way!"

"Snap!"

He snapped his fingers.

*

In the office.

Xie You was attentively reading the documents.

At this moment, Miss You, who was previously lascivious, showed no signs of her previous behavior.

"Whoosh~"

A spiritual plant suddenly swayed its branches and leaves, each leaf emitting a faint green light, giving off a rather magnificent feeling.

Xie You was startled and quickly stood up, respectfully bowing: "Sir, please give your orders!"

Ying Beibei sat at the opposite desk, looking at the glowing spiritual plant with astonishment on her face.

The gaze of the newly appointed female secretary shifted, and she immediately noticed something else.

She saw that Secretary Xie's uniform jacket had two buttons undone, revealing a touch of fair skin, which was quite thought-provoking.

Ying Beibei couldn't help muttering to herself in her heart: "She really is a seductive woman."

"Whoosh~"

The sound of the friction between the plant's branches and leaves subtly changed.

One second later.

A hoarse voice sounded: "Immediately notify the Crimson Eagle Legion, two days later, the entire Liefire Eagles will mobilize for a long-distance exercise from Tai'an to Xiaoxuan Palace."

From Tai'an to Xiaoxuan Palace, it happens to pass through the Zuo'an Small Spirit Realm.

There is no doubt.

The exercise is just a superficial pretext, but it is also a reasonable pretext.

Under the guise of the exercise, Cheng Han's true purpose is to stir up some trouble.

The friction sound issued a second command: "This exercise requires the use of new-style Xuan weapons. Notify the Kemo Research Institute again and make at least two thousand Eagle Strike Xuan weapons for me."

Xie You lowered her head and responded: "Understood! I will draft the documents immediately!"
