Chapter 233: The Plan to Expose the Truth
Chapter 233: The Plan to Expose the Truth
Fu Young raised the jade slip and waved it lightly in front of them. "Have you forgotten that the still active spirit veins are connected to these formations? If one day the grand formation covering the Sunfall Domain reverses, changing from gathering spiritual energy to dispersing it, then the depleted veins would receive energy again."
"When that happens, the formation would reactivate. And it would not only disperse spiritual energy, it would also release the karmic sins stored within the Cycle of Cause and End Relics. At that point..."
"The entire Sunfall Domain would become a land shrouded in sin," Xiao Shou finished, a chill running down his spine. "Everyone living here would be branded as sinners. And whoever comes to eliminate them would gain immense merit..."
Just imagining such an outcome made him shudder.
At that moment, Gou Guangming’s expression turned extremely ugly as if he had swallowed something foul.
He suddenly remembered that in the original story, the small realm where the protagonist was born did not even include the Sunfall Domain.
He had always assumed it had simply been swallowed by the demon abyss eace invasion.
But now that he thought about it, other regions that were taken over still existed, only with different names or environments.
Only the Sunfall Domain had been completely erased.
In other words, during the time when the protagonist had been in slumber, this scheme had not been exposed.
It had succeeded.
The entire Sunfall Domain had been wiped out.
Realizing for the first time how cruel this world truly was, Gou Guangming felt a shiver run down his spine.
He glanced at Fu Young and felt slightly reassured.
After all, he had already aligned himself with the protagonist, someone favored by the Heavenly Dao.
Fu Young had long noticed Gou Guangming’s strange expression.
Seeing that he remained silent, he directly asked, "Guangming, what are you thinking?"
"I... I think we should find a way to stop them immediately," Gou Guangming said.
He could not reveal that the place was ultimately destroyed in the original story, so he simply voiced his current thoughts.
"If we let them continue, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"And only by capturing them can we learn their true purpose," Gou Heng added, stroking his stubble. "Why are they hiding within major sects and taking those children away to raise them?"
Hearing this, Gou Guangming suddenly remembered something.
Among the children who had been taken away, there seemed to be one whose name matched that of a powerful female boss in the God Realm from the original story.
That woman had also come from this world.
Could there be some connection between them?
Gou Zhi sighed. "But how are we supposed to stop them or capture them? Aside from knowing that there is one suspicious person in each of the Heavenly Void Sect, the Holy Sword Sect, and the Seven Devil Dao Sect, we have no concrete evidence."
"Even if we did, their sects would definitely protect them. And we do not even know how many of them there are or how strong they might be."
"If they have been supported by the spiritual energy of an entire region like the Sunfall Domain, then their numbers and strength could very well surpass even top tier sects," Fu Young said calmly. "However, we do not need to face them head on."
He smiled at their grave expressions and took out a jade token from his storage bracelet.
"Have you forgotten about this? Since our strength is insufficient, we can leave this matter to professionals."
"An Alliance of Myriad Celestia token? Ah, I am so foolish. How did I forget about that?" Xiao Shou slapped his forehead when he saw the character for realm engraved on the token along with its surrounding pattern.
He quickly took out his own token, but upon seeing the pitiful silver token in his hand, he suddenly realized that he had been too busy recently and had not taken on missions to upgrade its rank.
His disciple’s token should have been the same silver color.
When did it become a jade token?
He looked at Fu Young in surprise. "Young’er, your token... how did it become this?"
"I just casually completed some tasks over the years and it upgraded by two levels without me noticing," Fu Young replied with a bright smile, clearly trying to gloss over it.
Casually upgraded by two levels?
That was a jade token, something extremely rare within an entire realm.
What kind of missions had he even completed?
Xiao Shou was not so easily fooled this time. He frowned. "I remember telling you not to use the Alliance of Myriad Celestia token before reaching the Golden Core stage. Did you start taking missions before entering the secret realm, Young’er?"
"Master, we can talk about that later. The most important thing right now is the Sunfall Domain," Fu Young said seriously.
If not for the slight sweat forming on his forehead, he might have sounded more convincing.
Xiao Shou glanced at the four members of the Gou family who were watching the scene unfold.
He swallowed his reprimand and deciding to deal with his disciple later in private.
With a somewhat displeased tone, he said, "Since you have already upgraded to a jade token, then you can handle reporting this matter. Information submitted by a jade token holder is more likely to be trusted by the Alliance of Myriad Celestia."
"I think it would be better for you to report it, Master," Fu Young said, putting away his jade token and smiling ingratiatingly. "After all, you were the one who first discovered this scheme. And this matter is extremely significant. If it is verified as true, the contribution points you gain would be enough to promote you directly to a gold token without needing to complete missions. On the other hand, those points would not be of much use to a jade token holder."
Xiao Shou helplessly tapped the young man on the forehead, then turned to the four members of the Gou family. "Then how about you?"
