My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 145 - 134: The Spy-Catching Game

That night.

Chen Lusi did not check the group chat of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

Because he intentionally or unintentionally wanted to distance himself from the related news, to stay away from the Celestial Strategy Mansion itself.

Therefore, he didn’t know how the matter of the Monkey Anomaly Realm had developed after a day’s fermentation.

...It really could be said to have exploded.

After Jin Yi returned, he brought the news back to his squad at the Celestial Strategy.

Then Ji Xin directly erupted.

Completely breaking the silence.

Although no one dared to speak at the time.

But afterward, as long as they were members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, they couldn’t help but be curious about what exactly happened?

And for the members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion who went to the Monkey Anomaly Realm, apart from those taken to the Yellow Springs by Xia Yue, dozens of them were safe and sound.

So for those curious to inquire, it wasn’t difficult to get news.

And if one person successfully inquires about the news... in this situation, it basically means that everyone knows.

So the course of events quickly spread.

The Monkey Anomaly Realm’s miraculous Stone came into being, internal strife and mutual killings erupted within the Celestial Strategy Mansion, a three-way melee ensued, Chen Lusi stepped forward to advise, and after his advice had no effect, he started to take action.

First, he made everyone’s Techniques strangely ineffective, then used Xia Yue’s signature Technique to fiercely beat the well-known Shu Li, Sang Chao, and Yin Heng, finally, he came out and in front of the highest leader of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, Mount Tai, threw down the Stone, shaming everyone...

Needless to say about witnessing it firsthand.

Just hearing about it left people flabbergasted.

And then.

A bunch of questions arose... such as how Chen Lusi could make everyone’s Techniques fail? Why could he press and beat the well-known Shu Li, Sang Chao, and Yin Heng? What exactly was his Authority Ability?

Of course, Xia Yue’s reaction after the event was also shocking.

Authority transfer, examine one’s heart.

Although the scope of examining one’s heart was yet to be confirmed.

But just hearing these two words was enough to make all the members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion’s hearts race.

This time inside and outside the Monkey Anomaly Realm, one could say unexpected events happened all around.

Coupled with recent rumors about Chen Lusi, the disappearance of the main body of the Monkey Anomaly Realm, and the punishment of Shu Li and others...

It’s conceivable how shocked those who heard about it were.

That night.

One could say everyone was discussing Chen Lusi.

Everyone’s eyes turned to the third squad far away in Peng City.

Including... the people of the Self.

Phoenix Capital.

Twenty kilometers east of the largest existing building complex of Emperor’s Mausoleums in the country, in a certain high-end apartment.

Yin Heng pushed open the door, took a deep breath, and then walked in.

Inside the room.

The five indistinct shadows and the horse-faced man had been waiting for a long time.

"Apologies."

Yin Heng glanced around, then stood firm, slightly bowed to them: "I failed."

The horse-faced man wasn’t surprised upon hearing this because he had already received the news before Yin Heng arrived.

He looked at Yin Heng and directly asked: "Technique failure?"

"...Yes."

Yin Heng slightly raised his head: "At first, I couldn’t understand and thought the Dead Sore elder’s words were nonsense, but after experiencing it firsthand... I realized he could indeed control external Spirits to disrupt Techniques."

Beside Dead Sore, a shadow spoke up to remind: "The Monkey Anomaly Realm is the Land of No Spirit."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yin Heng fell silent for a moment, then dug into his pocket, took out a Stone, and casually threw it forward.

Bang—

The Stone exploded in the air, instantly making the room fill with dense Spirits.

Upon seeing this scene, the five elders figured it out.

Yin Heng explained: "He relied on this method to turn the Land of No Spirit into his advantage."

The horse-faced man looked at the spot where the Spirit Stone exploded, his expression still somewhat calm, only slightly frowning: "Manipulate external Spirits? What kind of Authority Ability is this..."

"Additionally."

When he heard the words Authority Ability, Yin Heng hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised his left hand.

Tentacles surged out fiercely.

But unlike at the beginning, the originally complete ten tentacles were missing two segments, with one even severed at the base, leaving only a small palm-sized portion.

"The tentacles severed by Chen Lusi can’t regenerate."

Yin Heng’s face looked somewhat unsightly as he added: "Including the two tentacles capable of ’Divine Travel’ for escape, only one remains now."

Divine Travel was one of the most valuable abilities brought by his Authority ’He Luo’.

He could use it for rapid escape and even use it twice in a short period.

But now, after Chen Lusi severed one of the tentacles, he could only use it once.

Chen Lusi’s slash was equivalent to cutting off one of his lives.

"..."

Upon hearing Yin Heng’s words.

The horse-faced man and the five elders all raised their heads.

Especially the former, whose expression became rather interesting, shifting from initial calm to something else entirely: "Can’t regenerate?"

"Yes."

Yin Heng maneuvered the tentacles closer to the horse-faced man.

The horse-faced man reached out, touched the tentacles, then exclaimed in disbelief: "How can this be!? These tentacles are basically equivalent to ’He Luo’s’ main body, how can they not regenerate once severed?"

But no matter how he denied it.

The ironclad evidence was right there.

He Luo’s touch arms were indeed severed, unable to regenerate, as if this was their natural state.

After confirming this.

The horse-faced man froze, suddenly thinking of something, and said: "The ancient ’He Luo’s touch arms can be completely severed? Does that mean... he can sever the imprint forcibly added to our souls? What kind of authority is this??"

Upon hearing this.

Yin Heng and the five elders suddenly raised their heads.

This statement was so astonishing.

"How is that possible!"

Yin Heng was the first to react: "I’ve seen his authority ability, it’s just turning his arms into blades."

"Look at your touch arms."

The horse-faced man released his touch arms, calmly saying: "Moreover, you’ve just returned and don’t know yet, the Monkey Anomaly Realm’s entity has disappeared. Note, it’s not that the Monkey Anomaly Realm has disappeared, but that the entity has disappeared, meaning there may never be a Monkey Anomaly Realm again.

We always speculated that the reason the Monkey Anomaly Realm resurfaces yearly, and that it’s related to monkeys, is because something maintains this anomaly... it’s just that we can’t see it, not that it doesn’t exist.

This time, the Monkey Anomaly Realm’s entity completely disappeared, likely no accident, and unrelated to the Great Demon Stone... but rather, someone thoroughly destroyed what sustained the Monkey Anomaly Realm."

"Are you saying... Chen Lusi???"

Yin Heng, hearing this, glanced at his touch arms, his complexion changing.

On the other side, the five elders, whose faces were unclear, also had the black mist around them swirling.

"I don’t believe it, it’s impossible!"

"I don’t believe it either!"

"Then how do you explain why Yin Heng’s authority can’t regenerate?"

"Perhaps it’s due to some kind of compatibility restraint!"

"Then what exactly is the authority ability? Conveniently restraining Yin Heng’s ’He Luo’?"

"..."

They were skeptical.

But one thing was certain, they were all very interested in Chen Lusi’s authority ability now.

The horse-faced man, hearing their discussion, remained indifferent.

He wasn’t exactly sure either.

The situation with the Monkey Anomaly Realm this time completely exceeded his expectations.

The hidden chess pieces worked, yet they didn’t secure that miracle-like stone.

Originally thinking Chen Lusi wasn’t qualified enough to alter his plan, he unexpectedly became the breakthrough point, and his authority ability was shrouded in mystery, making people curious and puzzled.

And most crucially... Xia Yue’s actions.

"Back to the previous topic."

Thinking of this.

The horse-faced man suddenly turned his head: "Xia Yue went to the Ten Halls, willing to pay the price of his next life, apparently really wanting to change Celestial Strategy Mansion fundamentally.

And as for his plan to question his heart, and even publicly announce it... Mount Tai might cooperate with him, but the ordinary members should not act rashly, otherwise, before the questioning starts, they might get caught by Mount Tai and the others.

Inform them we have methods to help them pass undetected, let them remain calm."

"..."

The five elders exchanged glances, confused: "Methods?"

"They can sacrifice for freedom."

The horse-faced man said expressionlessly: "Stabilize the ordinary members first, then let them create chaos. By then, if these ordinary members escape or resist after being questioned, they will become the source of chaos.

And before that, let them try to make contact with Chen Lusi, too, making full use of things, I’m very interested in him."

Yin Heng: "..."

"As for the high-ranking members, tell them I’ll think of ways to help them slip through, provided Xia Yue and Mount Tai don’t personally oversee the questioning.

Creating chaos at sea, or in Peng City, we’ll coordinate on this side, as long as they can get Xia Yue and Mount Tai to leave, I’ll find a way.

Then, let them also find opportunities to approach Chen Lusi... ideally, to extract some useful information."

"Since Xia Yue wants to play a spy-catching game using questioning, we’ll cooperate with him!"

"..."

The five elders listened, remaining silent for a long time.

Then, suddenly someone suggested: "Actually, Xia Yue went to the Yellow Springs, we could try to hold off Si Yujie a bit, and then..."

"Without the Bell, without a plan, Si Yujie isn’t so easy to deal with, she’s no fool. Plus, as mentioned last time, Xia Yue might have kept a trump card for her."

The horse-faced man turned around: "Of course, if you dare face the spell-releasing Si Yujie alone, or dare to break into the Emperor’s Mausoleum and quickly find a Bell, act as if I said nothing."

"..."

No one spoke again.

The horse-faced man glanced at them, then shifted his gaze outward, towards the direction of the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.

Change the Celestial Strategy Mansion? Catch spies?

Xia Yue, the situation at the Celestial Strategy Mansion... is more complex than you can imagine.

...

The next day.

Chen Lusi woke up on time, just got up, yet to fully regain his senses.

Tap, tap, tap.

Lin Ying, in cute slippers, suddenly jogged next to him, twirled once in front of him, and asked, "Does it look good?"

Chen Lusi, looking at Lin Ying in a dress, ethereal and otherworldly, was slightly taken aback: "...The dress?"

At the same time.

Outside Celestial Strategy Trading.

Shu Li, leading a large group of people, with a determined heart, gritted his teeth and walked inside.

They were here to report in...
