Chapter 353: Chapter 222: Pudu Mountain

"I see."

Su Xing nodded. The team leader’s explanation gave him a much better understanding of Luocheng’s special organization, and he was now certain that its division chief was hiding something.

In truth, Su Xing was caught in the middle. He was indebted to the Cyan Cloud Sect, so he naturally had to help them. But Yin Crow was the daughter of Li Longxuan’s friend. The memory of Li Longxuan’s wistful expression made Su Xing reluctant to rush to judgment.

At the very least, Su Xing had to find out what Yin Crow and Li Ye were truly after. Only then could he decide how to deal with them.

’If they’re truly evil people, I’ll have no choice but to kill them myself. But if they’re not, I still want to bring Yin Crow back to Li Longxuan.’

’At the very least, it could ease the pain Li Longxuan felt from being forced to kill his friend.’

"Elder Su, are you going to the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Secret Realm to search for the division chief?"

Seeing Su Xing’s expression, the team leader immediately asked. Su Xing nodded, but then shook his head and said softly,

"You said it yourself. The division chief is also a Tier Eight Powerhouse. If he wants to hide, I’m afraid it’ll be extremely difficult for me to find him."

Su Xing said regretfully.

Indeed. Although Su Xing had successfully achieved Unity of Heaven and Man and his Immortal Root had reached Tier Four Peak—a truly transformative leap in power—he was still at the Tier Six Realm and couldn’t fight against a Tier Eight. If the division chief didn’t want to show himself, Su Xing knew it would be exceedingly difficult to find him.

’Normally, I should return to the Cyan Cloud Sect at once and ask Sect Leader Gu Che if he has a way to search the Secret Realm. As the master of the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Secret Realm, it would definitely be far easier for him to find someone than it would be for me.’

"Elder Su, are you thinking of seeking help from the Cyan Cloud Sect?"

The team leader said, watching Su Xing. Su Xing wasn’t surprised that the man had read his mind; it was the most obvious course of action. He replied lightly,

"And what’s wrong with that? Their control over the Secret Realm is certainly far greater than ours."

"True. That method might work for any other Extraordinary Being, but not for our division chief in Luocheng,"

the team leader said seriously.

"What do you mean?" Su Xing asked, looking at the team leader curiously.

"The reason is simple."

"Because our division chief awakened the Space Sequence."

Almost every high-tier Extraordinary Being knows that once you reach Tier Five, you can start to interact with spatial power. But those with the Space Sequence grasp the mysteries of space far earlier. If one of them reaches Tier Eight, their understanding of space would be terrifyingly profound.

"..."

Su Xing fell silent for a moment. ’A Tier Eight with the Space Sequence... The Space Sequence is extremely rare and unique to begin with, and high-tier Extraordinary Beings with it are even rarer. I never expected to run into one here.’

’But that also means that unless this Tier Eight *wants* to be found, it would be impossible for me to locate him with my current strength. Not even the Cyan Cloud Sect could do it.’

"You have a solution?"

After a moment, it dawned on Su Xing. If the other man didn’t have a solution, he wouldn’t have stopped him; he would have just let Su Xing go and try to solve it on his own. The fact that he kept him here meant he must have something to say.

Sure enough, the Luocheng team leader simply nodded. He handed over a spherical object that looked metallic, but it was an orb made entirely of condensed energy.

"A Space Anchor Point?"

Su Xing took the object, instantly recognizing what it was. It was essentially the same kind of device the Spirit Realm had once placed in the mortal world. The only difference was that those linked to a Spirit Realm, whereas this one in his hand was likely linked to the division chief.

"Yes."

"Take this Space Anchor Point into the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Secret Realm. The division chief will sense it, and he’ll know for sure that we sent you. He might come out to meet you."

As expected, the team leader’s explanation was more or less what Su Xing had guessed. Still, it made Su Xing frown.

"’Might’?"

"Yes, just ’might.’ Even we in Luocheng’s special organization have no idea what the division chief is planning right now. So we can’t guarantee he’ll come out to meet you."

"But..."

"It’s a better chance than you searching blindly."

"..."

After a moment’s thought, Su Xing put the Space Anchor Point in his pocket. He thanked the man, saying,

"Thank you."

"Is there any message you want me to relay?"

"No."

"Just help me handle this business with the Cyan Cloud Sect, and I’ll naturally take care of what I promised you. By the way, what’s the name of the person you need to bury?"

"I don’t know."

Su Xing thought for a moment and shook his head. He really didn’t know the man’s name; the man had only ever called himself the Lord of Luo City. So Su Xing said,

"He often called himself the Lord of Luo City."

"..."

The team leader was a little surprised by Su Xing’s candor. He’d already guessed that the person Su Xing wanted to bury was no ordinary figure; otherwise, there would have been no reason to come all this way to Luocheng for the burial.

But...

When he heard the four words "Lord of Luo City," he still found it outrageously absurd.

"Are you sure?"

He asked again for confirmation, but Su Xing’s answer was the same. The team leader could only nod and drop the subject. After all, this wasn’t some feudal society with literary inquisitions. Carving "Lord of Luo City" on a tombstone wouldn’t really offend anyone.
