My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 120 - 113: Land of No Spirit

Chen Lusi was still unsure.

Because he perused the ’Descriptive Book’... signs of myth activation in Kunlun led to a series of chain reactions.

At this moment.

He was following Jin Yi, touring the headquarters of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

It was uncertain whether it was a direct connection or some other reason.

The Celestial Strategy Mansion headquarters was also located in a building; however, compared to Celestial Strategy Trading, its location was a bit more remote, not in the heart of the city center.

Rather, it was near the suburbs.

Additionally, the Celestial Strategy Mansion headquarters wasn’t just one floor but the entire building, consisting of twenty-five floors, all belonging to the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

Chen Lusi followed Jin Yi from the twentieth floor, all the way down to the first floor.

"Exaggerated, right? Because the location is sensitive... the Taishan Brigade has the most people but the smallest area of responsibility."

Jin Yi explained with a smile: "Adding their station because they also bear headquarters responsibilities, they are more extravagant than other stations, so we secretly call them the Crown Prince Brigade."

"Actually, this building is not as simple as what we see. I’ve heard there are seven or eight layers underground, but we outsiders can’t enter."

Jin Yi tapped his foot on the ground.

Chen Lusi nodded, indicating his understanding, then asked: "I see many people holding ’Stones’? What are they for?"

It wasn’t the first time.

He and Jin Yi walked down, encountering many ’colleagues’ with azure ’Stones’ in their hands.

"Aren’t you entering the Monkey Anomaly Realm?"

Jin Yi was momentarily stunned by the question, then curiously asked: "Otherwise, this should have been mentioned to you."

"I don’t intend to enter."

Chen Lusi slightly furrowed his brow upon hearing this: "Does this relate to the Monkey Anomaly Realm?"

"Yes."

Jin Yi was surprised to hear Chen Lusi say he wouldn’t enter the Monkey Anomaly Realm, but he patiently explained: "Inside the Monkey Anomaly Realm is the Land of No Spirit. Once the anomaly opens, all spirits will gather on the abnormal entity.

At its most exaggerated, spirits within several kilometers would be drained by that monkey. For us Empowerers, once inside, we’ll run out of source water, rootless wood. If we exhaust the spirit inside us with no replenishment, we’ll turn into ordinary people, at others’ mercy.

So, to prevent this, most teams preparing to enter the Monkey Anomaly Realm will carry some ’Stones’ for emergencies, as a backup power source."

"..."

Chen Lusi’s only thought after hearing was – Heaven’s Nemesis.

This is simply the nemesis of his own Anomaly Realm.

After all, whether it’s the ’Dismantling’ technique or Spirit Ball, both require external spirit.

One could only say.

Luckily, he wouldn’t enter.

Thinking of this.

Chen Lusi couldn’t resist touching his pocket, where he brought the two Stones that Sun Rensheng had dropped...

"Why aren’t you entering the Monkey Anomaly Realm?"

Elsewhere.

Jin Yi finally asked.

He had a deep impression of Chen Lusi.

Initially, he thought of him as a newcomer, but that notion had long dissipated.

After all, whether it was under the supermarket or at the elementary school entrance.

Chen Lusi always gave him the feeling... he was someone reliable, a dependable teammate.

This time, he was willing to show Chen Lusi around with the hope of having someone to look out for each other in the Anomaly Realm.

Of course.

The premise was that he wouldn’t put a gun to his head.

"According to Xia Yue, not everything should rely on the Third Brigade."

Chen Lusi thought for a moment, explaining: "And personally, I don’t want to risk it anymore, after all that’s happened recently.

Moreover, I’m the only one who came this time. Xia Panqiu and Wu You didn’t come, so it’s not appropriate."

"I see."

Jin Yi understood after hearing Chen Lusi’s words, thinking of the recent events in Peng City.

He was slightly disappointed... but didn’t try to persuade, as the risks of entering the Anomaly Realm were substantial.

"Then maybe next time we can fight side by side."

Jin Yi patted his shoulder: "I need to get prepared with my teammates now. Want to come? It’s a good chance to get acquainted, so during missions, there’s mutual support."

"..."

Chen Lusi looked up at the ceiling; since Xia Yue hadn’t come down yet, he wasn’t busy. So he nodded: "Sure."

...

At the same time.

Celestial Strategy Mansion headquarters, over a hundred kilometers to the east.

Near the largest surviving Emperor’s Mausoleum complex in the country.

A man in a baseball cap walked around the Emperor’s Mausoleum like any ordinary pedestrian, enjoying the scenery, while discreetly extending his hand to continuously gather the energy bodies dispersing from the mausoleum complex.

Feeling it was about enough.

He clenched his fist, humming a tune softly, left the scenic area, and returned to his car.

The car started.

He returned to a luxurious apartment located in the city center.

Upon opening the door, he paused, then removed the baseball cap, revealing an ordinary-looking horse face.

"Rare sight."

The man put down his duckbill cap and looked at the five figures sitting in the living room.

The five of them sat quietly on the sofa, each face covered in black mist.

The black mist churned.

Making it impossible to discern their gender, build, and appearance.

"...What do you think? The signs of legend activation over at Kunlun."

The figure in the center hesitated for a moment, looked at the horse-faced man, and suddenly asked.

The horse-faced man poured himself a glass of water, then sat across from the five: "There’s no need to worry about it; it definitely can’t take shape in a short time. Although I don’t know what Kunlun has done, a legend activation in such a location can’t just come to life overnight.

Of course, if you want to waste time, you can."

The figure in the center nodded: "Then let’s focus on the Monkey Anomaly Realm..."

But another figure suddenly said, "Actually, we can try going to Peng City again, Xia Yue has already left."

"Forget it."

At that moment.

Sitting in the corner.

The figure who once appeared in Sun Rensheng’s home coughed lightly and said, "I witnessed Li Lianghu die right in front of me. Now his ’Divine Format’ is in Xia Yue’s hands, do you think he’d leave without making preparations?

Not to mention, we don’t have a second Bell; even if we did... with Si Yujie holding Li Lianghu’s Divine Format, can you fight back? If you want to die, go by yourself."

"Do you have the nerve to speak?"

The figure who initially suggested going to Peng City angrily said, "We spent a huge price, and you didn’t achieve a single objective. You even tucked your tail between your legs and came back half-dead.

All because of a Bleeding Stage Empowerer, and I’m embarrassed!"

"If you feel embarrassed, you can try it yourself."

The figure who once appeared in Sun Rensheng’s home sneered: "You still think the other side is just a Bleeding Stage Empowerer? Then you tell me, how was Sun Rensheng found? If Sun Rensheng wanted to hide, we know his usual pattern and it would still take some time to find him.

But Chen Lusi was able to precisely find Sun Rensheng even without knowing, can you?"

"..."

The horse-faced man sitting across the five put down his glass, hesitated for a moment, and calmly asked, "Dead Sore, can you guarantee that what you’re saying is true? A Bleeding Stage Empowerer not affected by the Bell, capable of manipulating external spirits?"

Upon hearing this, the others also looked at the figure named ’Dead Sore’.

He brought back the news initially.

Because it was too bizarre, and without witnessing it firsthand, some of the ’Self’ high-levels were still half-believing, half-doubting.

Except Feng Zhen indeed died.

They barely agreed to spread the information.

As for Lu Hao’s death... it was mostly speculation.

"Without a doubt, whether you believe it or not."

Dead Sore coughed lightly again: "I’ll give you some advice, be careful with this Monkey Anomaly Realm, don’t let it be the death of you, Chen Lusi is really strange, I even have a bold guess...

He is more important than that young lady, he is our ultimate target!"

The others heard and fell silent.

Some believed and agreed, some were still half-convinced, others snorted with disdain.

"..."

The horse-faced man hesitated for a moment, then softly said, "Although Xia Yue is intentionally protecting that newcomer... but I just received information, the response from Kunlun was that Chen Lusi’s Authority Ability belongs to the Yellow Springs Mainstream, and the name is quite ordinary, nothing remarkable."

"Then why were there sudden signs of legend activation near Kunlun?"

Dead Sore chuckled, "Let me guess, did it happen after Chen Lusi went there?"

"..."

The horse-faced man slowly lifted his head to look at Dead Sore.

The mist around the others began to swirl.

"It’s possible."

The horse-faced man pondered for a moment, stood up, and looked out the window: "Then we really can’t take the Monkey Anomaly Realm lightly this time. Send Yin Heng and the others... if they encounter Chen Lusi, test him out, and as for what to do after testing, let them decide.

My suggestion is to lure him into joining ’Self’. Such a person is hard to control, but if he’s truly as extraordinary as Dead Sore says, keeping him as an external member isn’t a bad idea, like Sun Rensheng.

Of course, if he doesn’t heed the advice, then let Yin Heng make the killing blow, turn him into a dead man.

No matter how wondrous his Authority Ability is, or how many strange abilities he shows.

We won’t change our plans because of this.

He’s not worthy.

My intuition can’t be wrong, the young lady is the key.

If they don’t encounter him, then focus on the Monkey Anomaly Realm, I have a hunch that what it offers this time won’t be an Authority Ability, but some very important Ancient Object."

The others remained silent, essentially agreeing by default.

Dead Sore chuckled.

"Additionally."

The horse-faced man turned around, suddenly raised his left hand, spread his palm, and wisps of yellow aura drifted out.

A golden yellow translucent paper symbolizing Imperial Authority appeared out of thin air.

"Tell the regular members below, this time the reward is the Authority ’Yaksha’."

"Make them work harder."

"Whoever kills the most Celestial Strategy Mansion members will get this Authority Ability."

"..."

The five seated figures glanced at the golden yellow translucent paper, then at the horse-faced man’s face, involuntarily swallowing.

Not because of the Authority ’Yaksha’.

But because of the man’s Authority Ability in front of them.
