Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 363: Temporary Farewell to Yang Zhi

Bureau Chief Lei raised his notebook and said, "According to the records above, within Da Shun, including this time, they have only conducted two rituals. However, there are no records of overseas activities, so we don't know the exact number of times they've done this."

Chen Chuan said, "Since they have performed pagan rituals multiple times, have they never been arrested before?"

Bureau Chief Lei said, "Sun Wheel Stones are not easy to find. They are embargoed goods in various countries. Their ability to obtain them indicates that they have high-ranking followers shielding them.

In past records, the sacrificial offerings used by Sun Worship Cult members generally do not involve locals. Additionally, they usually operate in remote suburbs, making it difficult for governments to find them. In fact, if they hadn't run into problems themselves this time, we almost wouldn't have discovered them."

Chen Chuan understood this. The Secret Cult Bureau has limited manpower and usually only focuses on the city. Events occurring outside the city, unless reported in the news or if an anomaly suddenly occurs, rarely attract attention.

He then asked, "Was the Sun Wheel Stone they carried this time brought in from abroad?"

Bureau Chief Lei said in a deep voice, "Sun Wheel Stones from different countries have slight differences due to different processing methods. I just examined it, and this one was not brought in from abroad. It should be domestic."

Chen Chuan looked at Bureau Chief Lei : "Are there people within the country helping them?"

"Perhaps Sun Worship Cult believers. From the looks of it, their status wouldn't be low." Bureau Chief Lei "s expression turned serious: "This is a significant matter. I need to report it to higher authorities and continue the investigation."

He solemnly said to Chen Chuan : "Chen student , I will report this and recommend you for commendation. However, the following events will be very complex, so you don't need to follow up."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Bureau Chief Lei , I understand."

Bureau Chief Lei looked outside and slowly said, "I'm going to be transferred next year. I'll do this last thing well during my term."

After the Secret Cult Bureau people clarified the situation, they packed up their things and withdrew. They will submit a report to the Government Affairs Hall, who will take over the matter. As for the public, a reasonable explanation will be given.

Chen Chuan gave a few instructions to Ren Shu and the others, said goodbye there, returned to his car, and drove back.

After returning home, he went to his room, picked up the Snow Emperor Blade, unsheathed it, and saw that the streak of blood on the blade's spine seemed to have become more vivid.

Speaking of which, he had never been clear about what exactly had entered the blade, but currently, it seemed to bring more benefits. Therefore, he would not delve into it for now, believing that he would eventually understand.

Because the time was approaching the end of the holiday, and in a few days, he could return to Central City, he did not go to other places during the following period. He only occasionally called classmates and acquaintances. Every day, he would take his younger cousins to the newly opened amusement park for a round of fun.

On August 30th, Chen Chuan dragged his suitcase out of his little aunt "s house. The suitcase was filled with things from his family and classmates . He put them in the trunk, then turned around and said to Nian Fuli "s family, who had come to the alley entrance to see him off:

"Little aunt , uncle , go back. I'll come back to see you when I have time."

"Chan'er , remember to call."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "I will." At this moment, he looked down and saw the two little ones tugging at his clothes, their eyes filled with tears.

The days he spent at home were the happiest for the two little ones. He brought them fun things, bought them delicious food, and took them out to play every day. Now that he was leaving, they were reluctant to part.

Chen Chuan smiled and patted the heads of the two little ones. "Cousin will take you to play whenever I come back."

Nian Mo looked up, pleadingly saying, "Then cousin must bring Xiao Ming back together."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bring it back with me." Zhao Ming also leaned on the backrest and chirped at the four of them. He then looked up at Yu Wan and Nian Fuli and said, "Little aunt , uncle , I'm leaving."

Yu Wan said, "Chan'er , be careful on the road."

Chen Chuan nodded in response. He opened the car door, sat inside, and after closing the door, looked outside. Besides his little aunt "s family of four, there were also many neighbors watching him, so he smiled and waved, then started the car.

The Jiade car slowly drove forward. After going out for a while, Chen Chuan could still see his little aunt and the others standing there watching him from the rearview mirror until they disappeared around the corner.

He looked ahead, once again driving along the road from the beginning of the year, heading towards Central City.

This time, he departed at seven in the morning. At three in the afternoon, he passed the last checkpoint on the National Highway and entered the Central City area. The Boundary Token he had prepared in advance rustled a few times before connecting to the Central City platform.

Immediately afterward, he saw a series of voice messages pop up, scrolling up on the light screen.

He listened to them one by one, all from acquaintances, classmates , teachers , and colleagues in Central City. They were all inquiring because they hadn't been able to contact him for a long time, so they were just sending greetings. Most of them didn't have anything important to say.

He replied in chronological order, informing them that he had returned to Central City today.

He also received some advertisements for the Arena tournament. This competition would continue until September and had not yet ended, but it was about to enter the final stages.

He paid some attention to it. One of the two finalists was Huo Yucheng , whom he had previously followed. Yu Shen , who had once been favored by everyone, had been eliminated but had managed to retreat unscathed.

It should be known that this was a Fight to the death. To withdraw without injury, one not only had to actively admit defeat, but the opponent also had to be unsure of continuing.

He pulled up the replay scenes of the two's semi-finals and watched them for a while. As he had initially judged, Yu Shen "s true strength was higher than Huo Yucheng "s, but he didn't have the mindset to fight to the end. He was forced back several times by Huo Yucheng "s suicidal tactics and had no choice but to admit defeat.

Although Yu Shen had a strong background, from the perspective of the organizers, this person couldn't bring them much benefit, so reaching this stage was already quite good.

After watching for a while, he saw that he had entered the city, so he turned off the light screen and drove onto the elevated road. After another hour, he returned to the Mysterious Palace Tower. He looked up and saw the red figure standing on the roof ridge, nodded to her, and then entered the underground garage under her gaze.

After parking the car, he took out his suitcase, got out, took the elevator upstairs, when he arrived on the first floor, the door suddenly opened, and a male and female student wearing casual clothes came in, both of them were well-proportioned and looked very good.

After the two entered and pressed the floor, the male student saw him with a suitcase and tried to greet him, saying, "Classmate , are you also a new student ?"

Chen Chuan said, "I guess so."

Hearing him say that, the male student became more friendly, came up, stretched out his hand, and introduced himself, "My name is Fan Cheng , this is Kong Yao , we are both freshmen this year."

Chen Chuan reached out and shook his hand and said, "Chen Chuan , hello."

Fan Cheng curiously looked at Zhao Ming lying on his shoulder and asked, "Chen classmate , is this your pet? What is this thing?"

Kong Yao also looked at it a few times, obviously very interested in Zhao Ming .

Chen Chuan said, "It's called Zhao Ming , the species is Niaoxi." Zhao Ming chirped at the two of them, as a greeting, and this cleverness surprised them very much.

Fan Cheng didn't know what Niaoxi was, but he didn't want to appear ignorant, and said suddenly: "So it's Niaoxi, I was wondering, haha..."

Chen Chuan smiled.

While they were talking, the elevator slowly rose to the twenty-second floor and stopped there. Fan Cheng and Kong Yao "s dormitories were on this floor, so the three exchanged contact information, and Fan Cheng said to Chen Chuan , "We are all freshmen, let's chat more when we have time."

Chen Chuan smiled and said okay.

After the two walked out, the elevator door slowly closed, and Fan Cheng turned his head and said to Kong Yao , "Hey, that Chen classmate lives on a much higher floor than us, he lives on the forty-ninth floor."

Kong Yao said, "It seems that the floor is based on the Academy's initial evaluation of the student . The higher the evaluation, the higher the floor. I heard that the highest does not exceed the sixtieth floor."

Fan Cheng exclaimed, "That Chen classmate can be ranked on the forty-ninth floor, so the evaluation must be much better than us. It seems that we should build a good relationship with him in the future."

Kong Yao said, "But that's just the initial evaluation, only the entrance evaluation counts."

Hearing her mention this, Fan Cheng "s face was full of annoyance, "I originally thought that being admitted to Wuyi Academy would be a leap over the dragon gate, but I didn't expect that if the evaluation points are low, I would be demoted to external students to play in the Arena tournament, and they won't even let you quit, it's really killing me."

Kong Yao muttered, "I don't want to play in the Arena tournament either, I can only spend more money to buy some courses from the teacher . If there is a good sparring partner, it can always improve a lot."

"But others are also working hard, alas, forget it, let's just leave it at that for now."

Forty-ninth floor, the elevator door slowly opened, Chen Chuan walked out from inside, and after a few steps, he came to the door of the room. He took out the key to open it, Zhao Ming spread his wings from his shoulder and slid down, rushing in, and he put down his suitcase by the wall, walked to the opposite side, and pulled open the curtains.

In an instant, the light from outside shone in, falling on him, he looked at the light pillar in the direction of the Arena tournament in front of him, and stood for a while.

The next thing to do is to find some time to go to the address left by this life's parents to see what is left there.

But before that, I have to deal with some trivial matters first.

Just as he was thinking, Ni Qianxi "s avatar flashed on the communication device, he connected, and Ni Qianxi "s voice sounded: "Little Chen, back to Central City?"

Chen Chuan said, "I'm back."

Ni Qianxi said, "Remember to come to the bureau in the next few days, there are some things the bureau wants to tell you, it will be good for you to know it sooner rather than later."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, thank you, Sister Ni, for reminding me."

Officer Qiu from the Processing Bureau had told him before that there was a more important thing to tell him when he returned to Central City, presumably this was it.

And Cao Guiqi had also said similar things to him before.

He had always felt that there seemed to be something hidden beneath Central City, but at that time, his level was not high enough, so he didn't have the qualification to know, but now that he has reached the Third Limit, it seems that the secrets here are about to unfold to him.
