A few days later, Su Chen and the other two returned to the sinkhole where the Shadow Hunters were placed in Jiang County. At this time, several teams had returned from completing their missions, and each gathered around a corner of the bluestone platform.
Compared with the vitality and vitality before the mission, now the entire sinkhole space seems to be shrouded in a layer of haze.
In fact, it is not difficult to see that the number of members of some teams has dropped sharply by two or three, and some people have even been injured.
It can be seen from this that it is not easy to complete the tasks given to everyone this time.
Jin Chenrui glanced around, and couldn't help but feel sad. For a moment, some pity and pity emerged in his heart, and then he laughed and shook his head. He actually felt pity for them.
If it weren't for Su Chen, he wouldn't even have the chance to stand here and watch the other teams perform. Would he still have the time to pity others?
You should be lucky to be alive.
Jin Chenrui and his four-person team were noticed by many people when they appeared on the Qingshi Platform. After all, everyone was on a mission, and they all came back with more or less injuries. As a result, the four of you were fine.
Ignoring the probing glances from all around, Su Chen casually said to Jin Chenrui, "I'm going out for a while."
After saying that, he jumped into the air and left the sinkhole.
Hearing this, Jin Chenrui was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Chen who quickly disappeared, smiled bitterly, and left him.
If it were anyone else, if this happened to him, he would have to catch up and ask why, but if it was Su Chen...
How to stop? It’s great if someone can tell you, but you expect him to stop the Transformation God with his Nascent Soul?
Isn’t life good enough?
Don't take shortcuts.
…
Su Chen left the Tiankeng and headed straight for the manor. At this time, most of the Shadowmen were still out on missions, and not a single person could be seen in the huge manor, which seemed lonely and deserted.
Chen Yan was still in his study, but he didn't practice calligraphy. Instead, he had a scroll of calligraphy and painting on the desk in front of him, with his hands folded across his chest, admiring it with pleasure.
With a "squeak" sound, the study door opened.
Chen Yan raised his head when he heard the sound, his brows furrowed slightly with doubt in his face. Who could be coming at this time?
He thought unhappily in his heart that no matter who it was, he would teach this guy a lesson for interrupting his appreciation of his beautiful handwriting.
Su Chen stepped in. When Chen Yan saw it was him, his expression was startled. What he originally wanted to say suddenly got stuck in his throat, and he changed his voice and said, "You're back."
Su Chen glanced at him, walked in and took out a chair at random to sit down. Without answering, he said, "You are quite cheerful."
The corner of Chen Yan's mouth twitched, and he lowered his eyes and glanced at the two simple characters on the scroll, "magnanimous".
“I’m getting older, so I’ll pass the time.”
After saying that, he immediately added: "With you here, the mission must go smoothly, right?"
Speaking of this, Su Chen leaned back on the chair, crossed his fingers, and looked at Chen Yan with half-smiling eyes, "There are more than thirty people, including ten Nascent Souls, and a guy who can cause thunder tribulation at any time. I almost couldn’t come back.”
Hearing these words, Chen Yan rolled his eyes at him without hesitation. When did ten Nascent Souls become the opponents of the gods?
"If it weren't for you, this mission wouldn't have fallen to Team 72. It would have been one of the top ten teams."
Su Chen nodded as if he was suddenly aware, "Change the team and go to die?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on Mr. Chen Yan's face. He forced a smile and said: "You can't say that. I only assigned the task after evaluating the strength of the team."
"The top ten teams are not weak either..."
At the end of the conversation, Chen Yan knew that his reason was far-fetched, so he smiled and sat back on his chair, saying no more.
Su Chen did not dwell on this. He changed the topic and asked bluntly: "How did you obtain the information?"
He planned to use Jiang County's intelligence source to find a person in the three counties, which was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. For a mediocre guy like the target of this mission, the intelligence put him in a very important position. It was like the rebirth of a great power. Not to mention how brilliant he was, at least he would not be an unknown person.
Let Jiang Jun help, I think it will be much easier.
"intelligence?"
When Chen Yan heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, then returned to normal, and said with a haha: "Of course Jiang County has its own intelligence organization, why do you ask?"
Su Chen looked at him calmly, taking in the subtle changes in the other person's expression. The idea that had just come up was completely killed by him at this moment.
Chen Yan's reaction let Su Chen know that Jiang Jun could not be relied on, at least not to reassure him.
"It seems you still have to rely on yourself."
Su Chen thought to himself that he was not disappointed, it was just that it would be a lot of trouble to find it by himself.
"Nothing, just asking."
So Su Chen shook his head gently and stood up, too lazy to stay any longer.
Hearing this, Chen Yan's locked gaze softened and he said with a smile: "It's really inconvenient to share Jiang County's secrets, but I can't wait until some day in the future to let you have access to them."
Su Chen smiled nonchalantly. When did he know how to eat appeasement and painted pie?
He has never liked this. In the past, for those who followed him, he would give something tangible and tangible, rather than just a piece of pie that was drawn in vain.
And...want to recruit him?
Simply ridiculous!
Maybe he could tell that Su Chen didn't want to stay anymore, so Chen Yan asked him to leave directly: "There will be a celebration banquet in a while. How many days will you stay in the manor to practice?"
The words were intended to stay, but Chen Yan's butt seemed to be glued to the chair, unable to move.
Su Chen glanced at him sideways, not bothering to play along with him, so he turned around and left, "I don't feel comfortable staying in your place."
Looking at Su Chen's leaving figure, Chen Yan's eyes became a little introverted and became gloomy, "Tsk, I'm so anxious."
"But it doesn't matter. You will do it the first time for insignificant cannon fodder, and there will be a second time."
Not knowing what he thought of, the corners of Chen Yan's mouth slowly raised, "Sooner or later, one day, sooner or later, one day..."
Su Chen walked out of the study and rose into the air, flying towards the sinkhole, so he was unaware of the murmurs in the study.
Now he was thinking about how to find clues. This time, Heaven seemed to deliberately make things difficult for him. Unlike the previous two times, the guidance to the reborn person directly pointed out the direction. The feeling was particularly strong when he was close.
This time is different. It only appears once when mentioning the three counties. It seems to be telling you that there are reborn people, but not telling you the details.
Therefore, he had to look for clues on his own.
With his thoughts in mind, Su Chen returned to the Tiankeng space. The dull atmosphere coming from the entire space immediately called him back to reality. Different from the previous lifeless atmosphere, this dullness seemed to be mixed with a hint of gunpowder?
Su Chen looked down and saw that on the huge bluestone platform, the team that originally occupied only one corner were all moving closer, and on the other side, there was only one person facing them.
I saw that man wearing brocade clothes and robes, one person facing everyone, giving orders with great aura.
