Chapter 340: Chapter 337: Mutation

After he left Bright Moon Tower, he went directly to the palace and found Zhiqiu Hall.

”Hmm—?” Chu Qingfeng frowned and stared at Chu Zhiyuan.

The two were sitting opposite each other on the heated couch in Zhiqiu Hall, sipping tea.

The young eunuch who served the tea quietly retreated, and Chu Zhiyuan began to speak of the Netherworld Secret Guard matter.

”Netherworld Secret Guard!” Chu Qingfeng stared at Chu Zhiyuan, ”You actually know about this!”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”It seems Uncle Gong, you are aware of the Netherworld Secret Guard!”

”Don’t forget which bureau I am in charge of!” Chu Qingfeng snorted, ”Do you really think I’m just idle?”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”I underestimated the Court’s power.”

”Where did you hear about the Netherworld Secret Guard?” Chu Qingfeng asked curiously, ”This information is top secret among secrets.”

”The Holy Daughter of Wuyou Sect mentioned it,” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”as a favor to me.”

”Hmph, it was for the sake of an Innate Perfection expert, right?”

”Naturally, there must be some ulterior motive,” Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”It wouldn’t be for my handsome appearance, wanting to marry me as a concubine, would it?”

Even though he knew Chu Qingfeng strongly disapproved of his connections with the Four Great Demon Sects, he still spoke openly.

”Frivolous!” Chu Qingfeng snorted.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”I can only be frivolous in front of Uncle Gong.”

Chu Qingfeng smiled, snorting, ”Be careful, the Wuyou Sect is not simple.”

He naturally felt Chu Zhiyuan’s closeness and was quite proud of it.

When it came to the elder closest to Chu Zhiyuan, it was undoubtedly himself.

”They are indeed not simple,” Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He certainly knew the Wuyou Sect was not simple, but no matter how complicated, they must have interests they seek.

Could the Wuyou Sect intend to raise an army and rebel?

Or do they want to control the Da Jing Court?

Or do they want to control him?

Currently, it seems they don’t have such great ambitions, nor can they possibly realize them.

Despite Wuyou Sect’s power, they are ultimately based overseas, too remote to form a major force.

These overseas territories can serve as a supplement, a retreat, but cannot become the foundation of an empire.

”You must be careful of the Netherworld Secret Guard,” Chu Qingfeng said solemnly, ”They are indeed mysterious and have truly killed a Great Grandmaster.”

”Doesn’t the God Punishment Bureau deal with them?”

”They can’t find them.”

”How about this?” Chu Zhiyuan took out a black box from his sleeve and handed it over.

”This is...?” Chu Qingfeng took the Sealing Spirit Box and opened it, seeing the beads inside.

He looked up at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Uncle Gong, do you recognize this item?”

”Something of the Netherworld Secret Guard?” Chu Qingfeng speculated, ”A belonging of the Netherworld Secret Guard?”

”Precisely,” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”With this item, can we find those Netherworld Secret Guards?”

The Great Grandmaster of Wuyou Sect couldn’t do it, but that doesn’t mean the Great Grandmaster of the God Punishment Bureau can’t.

As the saying goes, different skills suit different needs.

Since the God Punishment Bureau is specialized in dealing with the Divine Envoys of the Incense Fire Path, they naturally have special means to deal with them.

Maybe they can pinpoint and track down the owner of these beads.

”Let’s give it a try,” Chu Qingfeng said in a deep voice, ”Someone come!”

”Yes,” said a young eunuch in blue who came in and bowed at the foot of the couch.

”Invite Master Shi and Master Mo to come over,” Chu Qingfeng said.

”Yes.”

The young eunuch withdrew.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”Master Shi and Master Mo are...?”

”Both are Great Grandmasters at the Grandmaster Mansion, skilled in tracking, especially tracking Divine Envoys.”

”Have they killed Divine Envoys?”

”Yes.”

”Is it because of the unique mental method they practice?”

”It’s not due to the mental method, but because they have killed Divine Envoys and are more sensitive to their aura.”

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Having killed a Divine Envoy makes one particularly sensitive to their aura?

This statement holds many secrets.

Chu Qingfeng seemed to know what he wanted to ask, waved his hand, and said, ”It’s naturally like this, but I don’t know why, and I haven’t practiced the Divine Dao.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Uncle Gong, since you have killed Divine Envoys, you must also have their personal belongings or other items, right?”

”What do you want to do?”

”I want to see what items a Divine Envoy carries and what kind of aura they have.”

”It’s best not to look at these things,” Chu Qingfeng shook his head, ”Give up on this thought quickly.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”Uncle Gong, why is that?”

He knew Chu Qingfeng wouldn’t harm him, so if he said so, there must be a reason.

Chu Qingfeng sighed, ”Once the aura of a Divine Envoy clings on, it’s difficult to remove, and it will be noticed by all Divine Envoys, even...”

He pointed upwards, ”It might alarm the powers above.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Could they directly obliterate me?”

”Although they can’t directly obliterate, they can kill you through the Divine Envoys,” Chu Qingfeng snorted, ”These guys are indefensible, with bizarre methods, best not to provoke them.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”Is Imperial Grandfather afraid of these powers?”

Chu Qingfeng snorted, ”If he were afraid, he wouldn’t have established the God Punishment Bureau, but elder brother has the Emperor’s Sword, and you don’t.”

”How about you, Uncle Gong?”

”Although I am in charge of the God Punishment Bureau, I don’t personally handle affairs, and besides, I always stay in the Grandmaster Mansion; no matter how arrogant they are, they dare not enter it.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Then I won’t touch, just look, is that alright?”

”...Do not touch.”

”I absolutely won’t touch!”

Chu Qingfeng got off the heated couch, went to a rosewood cabinet in the corner of the hall, and brought out three small boxes, placing them on the table on the couch.

He opened the three small boxes one by one.

Inside the first box was a dark green bead, about the size of a Dragon Eye.

In the second box was a small knife, inky black, without any luster.

In the third box was a Jade Pendant, emerald green, looking quite ordinary.

Chu Zhiyuan used Insight, but mist enveloped the interior of the three items, making it unclear.

It was clear that these items were almost indistinguishable from the string of beads.

He closed his eyes, pushed his Super Sense to the limit, trying to see them clearly.

He first focused on that emerald Jade Pendant, as it seemed the most inconspicuous.

Amongst the swirling mist, there seemed to be a roaring tiger.

Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes, his face pale.

”Did you... you acted rashly again?” Chu Qingfeng said with a tone of irritation, ”I told you not to act rashly!”

Chu Zhiyuan clearly had secretly acted on his own.

But fortunately, he hadn’t physically touched them.

Suddenly, Chu Zhiyuan pulled Chu Qingfeng out of the hall.

Chu Qingfeng didn’t resist, letting Chu Zhiyuan pull him outside the hall.

”Bang!” A dull sound came from inside the hall.

Chu Qingfeng turned to look at Chu Zhiyuan.

By then, the two were already thirty meters outside the main hall, and Chu Zhiyuan had just pushed his speed to the fastest.

He still had lingering fears, shaking his head, ”Too risky.”

The alarm sounded precisely when Super Sense fully observed the Jade Pendant.

There was no prior alarm.

It was clear that the danger came from the observation of the Jade Pendant.

But before the observation, his intuition didn’t warn him of the danger.

What does that mean?

Could the Jade Pendant’s power interfere with the function of intuition, preventing it from perceiving danger in advance?

If so, he must be more careful with Divine Envoys.

Chu Qingfeng returned to Zhiqiu Hall and found it in ruins, as if devastated by a wild storm.

The table on the couch had turned to powder, and a large hole appeared in the couch.

The three Divine Envoy Relics were intact but had embedded into the dome of the hall.

Chu Zhiyuan came to his side, looking up at the three Divine Envoy Relics with a solemn expression.

With the naked eye, the three relics showed no change.

But in Super Sense, all three relics were glowing.
