Chapter 2633: Chapter 2634: Space-Time Sacred Artifact
The Family Head of the Carter Family and an important member of the Federal Credential Bureau board, Bloomfield Carter, sat in the high-back sofa, his expression as sharp as a knife.
"Recently, the Federal Credential Bureau issued a warning, saying that after chaos computations and evaluations by the intelligent system, they found that the risk exposure on our side is rapidly increasing, which is why I gathered you all for a brief meeting."
At this point, the elderly man whose attire resembled that of a godfather glanced around the room with eagle-like sharp eyes.
"Tell me, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
The people sitting below exchanged glances, then one stood up to speak.
"Dear father, I think this matter isn’t that serious. After all, the Federal Credential Bureau issues various warnings to different families almost every month, and our Carter Family has always operated cautiously. How could any mistakes possibly occur?"
Bloomfield looked at his son and nodded, "Sit down first!"
"Yes!"
After his son sat down, Bloomfield spoke coldly, "What a foolish thought, do you really think it’s just a simple warning?"
The person who just spoke trembled all over, the self-satisfied look on his face vanished, replaced by a look of fear.
"The Federal Credential Bureau indeed issues warnings to each family monthly, but this time it’s different because the warning was issued by that Star Ring intelligent system, so we must take it seriously."
"Moreover, the incident at Drunken Dance Bar a few days ago remains on my mind; it seems this matter is not that simple."
Bloomfield finished speaking with a furrowed brow, and immediately, someone else stood up below.
"Grandfather, don’t worry, Valentin is already following up on this matter, and I’m confident results will come soon."
"Speaking of which, why haven’t we seen Valentin today?"
"He went to represent our Carter Family at a charity gala and should be back soon."
Xue An overheard the conversation in the room clearly.
It revealed an extremely crucial piece of information.
Namely, the Federal Credential Bureau’s warning was calculated by that Star Ring after betraying Zhang Tianyou and aligning with the Federal Credential Bureau.
This indeed deserves contemplation.
Because being able to compute results so close to the truth without key information evidently proves the terrifying nature of this Star Ring.
In fact, this is also one reason why Xue An acts cautiously.
Although with his power, he could block all electronic devices on Earth in a flip.
But as Zhang Tianyou said, this Star Ring has already spread throughout The Multiverse.
Unless he has the ability to overturn all of The Multiverse, it’s impossible to completely annihilate this Star Ring.
So Xue An has been enduring patiently, to deceive this Star Ring.
Because now he has reason to suspect that this entire matter is undoubtedly related to this Star Ring.
The meeting soon ended, everyone dispersed, but Bloomfield, the highest ruler of the Carter Family, remained on the sofa without moving.
It was only after everyone left that he stood up and walked to the bookcase.
A blue light flashed and then followed a cold mechanical voice.
"Iris scan verified."
Immediately, the bookcase split to the sides, revealing an extremely sturdy and complex password lock.
Bloomfield’s hands pressed on the password lock to verify fingerprints, and then he sequentially entered a very complex password.
After completing all this, the entire wall slowly opened, revealing a downward channel.
Bloomfield slipped into it, and the wall closed afterwards.
What he didn’t realize was that at that moment, Xue An also entered.
After descending many steps, Xue An estimated they were already deep beneath the lake; the space before them suddenly opened up into a vast area.
This space was set up with a strong sci-fi vibe, while all four walls, as well as the ceiling and floor, were engraved with peculiar patterns.
And at the very center of these gathered patterns was a gigantic glass cabinet, where an enormous, faintly glowing strange stone was placed.
The stone, covered with countless black lines, was the Soul Hooking Jade.
A flash of brilliance appeared in Xue An’s eyes.
Because he noticed that the flow of time seemed to slow down around this stone.
Simultaneously, the entire space was bound by an invisible force.
No wonder Xue An couldn’t detect this space outside with his divine sense.
At this moment, Bloomfield didn’t sense anyone tracking him.
Full of devout fervor, he knelt in front of the stone, muttering.
"O great Space-Time Messenger, grant me the wise eyes to see through all mist, to identify the culprit disturbing the river of time."
Buzz.
As he prayed, the giant stone trembled slightly, then its shimmering speed began to drastically increase.
Instantly, a ray of light directly entered Bloomfield’s head as he worshiped.
Bloomfield’s entire body trembled, then he slowly lifted his head, his eyes full of dazzling golden light.
Then he looked toward the direction where Xue An stood.
"No wonder my heart had a premonition, turns out it’s you, the culprit."
Xue An realized his disguise had been seen through, so he no longer concealed himself and directly appeared.
"The culprit?"
"Exactly! Who else is the culprit but the one disrupting the river of time?"
Bloomfield shouted with dignity.
Xue An wasn’t swayed, his gaze fixed on the Soul Hooking Jade.
"What did you just call it? Space-Time Messenger?"
"Indeed, this is the great Space-Time Messenger, left by the Time Divine, a sacred artifact. Are your wicked ways not going to surrender yourself immediately?"
Xue An chuckled and didn’t bother arguing with him anymore since the space was shielded, meaning information couldn’t be transmitted.
Thus, with a casual wave of his hand, a gleam of the Dao Sword pierced toward Bloomfield.
As soon as the gleam appeared, Bloomfield moved as if having foreseen the attack, dodging to the side.
Almost the moment he dodged, the gleam angled past him and disappeared.
Xue An raised his eyebrows slightly, sending forth dozens more sword gleams.
But Bloomfield dodged them all.
Then, in a cold and superior tone, he said.
"It’s futile, under the Space-Time Messenger’s blessing, I can see through all illusions and grasp the truth. I can predict the trajectory of every strike you make, so you might as well surrender."
"Is that so?"
Xue An sneered, his figure appearing behind Bloomfield, a punch aimed at his head.
