Chapter 1731 - 384: They Won’t Survive

Gu Qilin said calmly, "The abilities of these two Titled individuals are not to be underestimated. From the images you sent back, the bombardment of the Black Silver Bomb might destroy ships, but it might not completely annihilate them... It’s possible that a very few survivors could return to the inland from the Ice Sea."

"It’s just that they’ve gone through so much, their spiritual power and source quality should be nearly depleted."

Zhou Wei gave a simple assessment, "If these two Titled individuals are alive, then the ’life signal’ near the Yuanting Island defense line could very well come from survivors of the [Ice Sea Ruins]."

"The church hopes Changye can send a sufficiently strong Transcendent, preferably one that can rival the Red Dragon."

Gu Nanfeng had just said this.

Gu Qilin couldn’t help but mock, "Have they gone mad?"

After the mission on Sang Island, the strength of the Red Dragon Envoy was evaluated by the [Deep Sea] as immeasurable.

Due to his unique identity.

The Source Tower has never granted him a dedicated Titled status—

But everyone in the world knows, Red Dragon has long ascended!

This is tacitly acknowledged by the highest levels of the Five Continents Council as a top-tier Titled status of a continent.

"Before Gu Shen returns, Hai Tong Saint means to imply they hope you personally go to Yuanting Island to oversee the battle and confront the Red Dragon."

Gu Qilin sneered, "But since the battle at Red Lake has been made public, Hai Tong Saint clearly hopes Changye sends Gu Shen south."

The most qualified one is Gu Shen!

"Indeed, their intentions are clear. Although they are allied with Changye Central City, they don’t want to exert effort."

Gu Nanfeng said, "Hai Tong Saint doesn’t care about the truth brought back by the survivors from the [Ice Sea Ruins]..."

The truth is the Storm Church launched a deadly raid, wanting everyone to perish together!

Yet, neither Light City nor the Source Tower would believe this version of the truth now.

From the moment the Changye Central City Fleet returned inland unscathed, the truth lost its significance.

"So... what did you say?"

Gu Qilin’s forehead veins bulged as he took a deep breath and asked.

Gu Nanfeng calmly said, "I told him to get as far away as possible... Since no one cares about the truth, then neither does Changye."

"Well said!"

Gu Qilin laughed happily.

Zhou Wei massaged his forehead. Unlike the hot-tempered Gu Qilin, although he felt comfort in Gu Nanfeng’s answer, he also worried about the aftermath of this affair.

"If we don’t support Yuanting Island at all... what will happen?"

"Red Dragon is already leading a team searching the sea area these days. If there really are survivors, they will be found."

"And then?"

"Condemnation, the actions of the Storm Church will be exposed, the World Council will reconvene, just that the Holy City will drag Changye and Central City down together."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wei’s face was very grave, "Though what you said was correct, if it really gets to that point, what then?"

Zhou Wei was not worried about the bickering in the World Council.

He was worried about the higher-level strategic battle of wills... if this matter is confirmed, could it lead to the outbreak of Divine War?

"It won’t get that far."

A voice spoken with great confidence suddenly rang out.

The speaker was Gu Shen.

Walking through the front hall, Gu Shen deliberately tightened the "Divine Concealing Cloak" draped over him. This time the large banyan tree in front of the ancestral hall entrance won’t inexplicably wither and shed its leaves... He brought Shen Li and Mu Wanqiu to Mr. Gu’s and Zhou Wei’s fishing spot, a place he had visited once, last time sitting in President Zhou Wei’s position.

Seeing the fish basket filled to the brim with fish, his mood lightened considerably.

Previously it was feigned sleep, now it’s genuine fishing.

It looks like since meeting him, Mr. Gu’s mental burden has greatly lessened.

"This is Mu Wanqiu, Captain of the North Continent Investigation Corps Team One, and this is Shen Li, the Fourth Judge of the prison."

Gu Shen briefly introduced them to the two old men, he and Gu Nanfeng exchanged glances, everything was understood without words.

"Rare guests."

Gu Qilin raised an eyebrow towards Mu Wanqiu and said, "The North Continent Investigation Corps should be quite busy, right?"

"I and Miss Mu are old acquaintances; upon learning I’m still alive, she specifically took leave to come south and spar with me."

Gu Shen spoke for Mu Wanqiu, casually providing an excuse.

People from the Northern Continent are pugnacious, as is Changye. Mr. Gu nodded with a smile, considering the matter closed.

He had specifically reviewed the S-level dossier, making the excuse to fight Gu Shen was indeed something Mu Wanqiu would do.

Both their identities as Angel Envoys were well concealed.

"Gu Shen," Zhou Wei smiled and asked, "you just said... it won’t get to that point, what did you mean?"

Regarding the current tense situation of the Five Continents, he was not optimistic.

Zhou Wei was very worried that this incident might become a catalyst.

If Changye mishandles it, it could very well lead to Divine War.

Gu Shen knew what President Zhou Wei was concerned about.

He cut straight to the point, "The Black Silver Bomb from the [Ice Sea Ruins] was launched by me... I’m more aware of those bomb’s power than anyone. The Light City Source Tower’s Cloud Ship Fleet has been completely destroyed, even if they have the means to repair the flying ships again, as for those two Titled individuals, they’ve surely suffered major injuries."

Given the initial location of the submergence, even if at my peak, it would take flying a full week on [Truth]!

The seriously injured Titled individuals, whether they can survive is still questionable.

"You fired the Black Silver Bombs..."

Zhou Wei’s expression was complicated, "So there really is an [Ice Sea Ruins], what was inside that ruin?"

"That ruin has completely sunk."

Of course, Gu Shen wouldn’t divulge Alf’s existence, side-stepping the key issue, he said lightly, "It’s also a coincidence, I just happened to drift near the [Ice Sea Ruins] due to ocean currents. After waking, I ran into the [Ice Sea Ruins] exploration team. So I entered the ruins alone, of the pioneering teams sent by the Five Continents, those who could be saved, I saved. Those who needed to be killed... I killed them all."

"I remember Zhong Fan submitted a report..."

Zhou Wei murmured, "The mysterious person wearing the Evil Ghost Mask, was that you?"

"Yes, that was me."

This secret, now is no longer a secret.

After Gu Shen killed Jia Wei, those within the upper echelons of the East Continent Council who’ve seen the [Ice Sea Ruins] report would know all this.

"Wait..."

Gu Qilin furrowed his brow, "You mean the survivors at most are Yin Zhuo and Meriz?"

"Yes."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Those who entered the [Ruins], I killed every single one clean."

Cloud Tiger, Xuan Turtle, Giant Deer, Long Qi...

None left behind!

The information received over in Changye is limited, thus they need not worry about any additional Titled individuals surviving.

"Do not heed the church’s support request, let the Red Dragon Envoy lead the search in the Southern Continent Sea Area... eventually, there will be no result."

Seeing Gu Qilin and Zhou Wei still somewhat puzzled.

"Even if Yin Zhuo and Meriz are alive, they must be heavily injured by the Black Silver Bombs, even if they have the strength to escape to Yuanting Island Sea Area, it’s just a spent force."

Gu Shen gently said, "They... won’t survive."
