Light Fortress-Chapter 1389 - 172: Holy Book (Part 3)

He quietly let out a hum.

This is a part of the Light City Plan... The turbulence in the E0 District, it’s nothing. Suzaku’s desire for revenge doesn’t matter either.

Possessing "Jia Wei" and many Hidden Children.

Light City hopes the situation in Sangzhou Cave becomes more chaotic... Because essentially, they don’t care about the casualties of the Transcendent residents in the urban area. For greater benefits, these can all be abandoned.

"Very good."

Su Ye chuckled softly, "Suzaku is crippled, whether it dies or not is irrelevant. The Source Tower has lost an important arm, and in the future, they will also agree to our deal... In this way, [Holy Book] can absorb more power." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"You’re right."

The Shadow spoke respectfully.

"Good things come in pairs... I’ve also completed the negotiation with the ’Neutral Party’."

Su Ye’s smile echoed from the communicator.

"Return to the residence now, bring out the ’Neutral Party’ just captured, Archbishop Di Rang will send someone for the handover."

"Yes..."

The Shadow squatted down, picked up the two daggers he had dropped, and turned to leave.

He did not glance at the city completely consumed by the fire, with some struggling people among the flames.

Whether they live or die, it doesn’t matter.

"By the way."

Su Ye frowned and said, "After returning to the residence, go check the ’Holy Book’."

"Holy Book?"

The Shadow raised an eyebrow, "Are you worried?"

"Hmm... I don’t know why, I just have a bad premonition..." Su Ye murmured, "I’m worried something might go wrong with the ’Holy Book’."

"You’re probably overthinking it."

The Shadow laughed softly, "It’s only been a short time since Suzaku burned the city. If the Source Tower had a second Divine Envoy arriving, Master Jia Wei would definitely notice... Moreover, the ’Holy Book’ is perfectly bound by the Light Barrier from inside and out, whoever touches it, you’d definitely notice, wouldn’t you?"

"...That’s true."

Su Ye rubbed his temples and sighed softly, "I hope I’m just overthinking."

The Shadow returned to W4 District.

The smile on his face gradually froze, then disappeared.

The mansion was deathly silent, the ground littered with white-robed followers... They were the extremists transformed by the "Holy Book"!

Someone had been here!

The Shadow quickly walked deeper into the mansion, the outermost Light Barrier was breached, he quickened his pace, first arriving at the cell imprisoning the ’Neutral Party’, the cell was silent... Nothing was left here, the prison instruments shattered, all the prisoners vanished, leaving only drifting particles in the wind!

"No..."

The Shadow’s expression turned pale, he suddenly realized something was amiss, turning even faster towards the location of the Holy Book.

Upon arrival at the scene.

He saw the most unacceptable sight, the Holy Book was gone... To be precise, even the entire "sealed object" along with the Holy Book was gone!

"No!!!"

The Shadow gazed at the scene in a daze, his mind blank.

The sight before him was too impactful.

He completely locked up.

The entire courtyard had been completely cleared out, not even a floor tile was left!

"Master Su Ye... Master Su Ye!"

The Shadow immediately attempted a Spiritual Link.

But it failed!

His spiritual power was inexplicably blocked!

Calling the communicator also failed, the signal here was lost!

"Don’t bother, it’s useless."

A very soft voice sounded about ten meters behind the Shadow, as an expert in the assassination trade, this was the first time for the Shadow to be approached this closely without noticing!

He was horrified.

Suddenly turned back.

Under the eaves of the side courtyard, overshadowed, a thin figure, at some point, was sitting on the vine chair in front of the mansion, his body hidden in the darkness, but just a glance would give a great sense of oppression!

Gu Shen slowly stood up.

He calmly said, "So that piece of tattered black paper is the so-called ’Holy Book’, right?"

The Shadow’s pupils contracted to the extreme.

He couldn’t see the Black Shadow’s face.

Even when unleashing his full spiritual power... all he saw was a Black Shadow.
