"Who the fuck are you?"
Shen Yucheng realized that this person was not a Highlander but an Earthling in disguise.
"Already forgotten?" Ji Xinghuo smiled, and in a deep voice that resud its normal noise, "You seem to be doing quite well in the Star Realm."
"It’s you!"
Shen Yucheng imdiately rembered, "You are that Swordsman from the Sword Bureau, code-nad New Sky! How is this possible?"
His eyes were wide with disbelief.
When he had fought with Ji Xinghuo, the latter was just an Advanced Mutant, strong indeed, but the fact that he could kill Shen Yucheng in Immortal City was because Shen had intentionally held back, seeking death on purpose.
In just over a year, Ji Xinghuo’s strength had beco more terrifying than that of a Legendary, beating Shen to near death.
And it was clear he hadn’t even used his full strength yet.
"Nothing’s impossible." Ji Xinghuo’s expression turned cold, and he felt no fondness for Shen Yucheng, speaking in a deep tone, "Now speak, what’s the situation with the Qianyuan Association? Why did you defect, and what critical information do you hold in your hands?"
"You’ve clashed with the Qianyuan Association?" Shen Yucheng’s expression relaxed slightly as he carefully observed Ji Xinghuo, attempting to discern his true face.
Last year in Immortal City, Ji Xinghuo had disguised himself.
Now he had taken on the appearance of a Highlander, Shen Yucheng only knew of the code-nad "New Sky," and nothing else.
He was truly curious about the real identity of this Swordsman from the Sword Bureau.
Crack!
Thunder bood, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, hitting Shen Yucheng, and the high voltage made his body ache severely until he recovered half a minute later.
With an expressionless face, Ji Xinghuo watched him, "When I ask sothing, you answer just that. This is an interrogation. Do you understand?"
"If you dare, just kill ." Shen Yucheng said bitterly.
Another lightning bolt struck down.
"I know about your Clone Twin, dying could an escape for you." Ji Xinghuo said indifferently, "In front of , try and see if you can successfully kill yourself. Even if you die, I will find your real body and make sure you et your end."
Uncertainty flickered in Shen Yucheng’s eyes.
Although he was once the vice director of the Star Realm Departnt’s Exploration Departnt, he did not have access to the Sword Bureau. His impression of the organization was the sa as that of ordinary people in the Asia-Pacific Community: mysterious and powerful, and awe-inspiring.
The Swordsman before him had proved just that.
In little over a year, it was miraculous that he was able to locate Shen in the vast expanse of the Star Realm.
Finding his real body might not be impossible.
"Ask your questions." Shen Yucheng finally yielded.
Ji Xinghuo went straight to the point, "Who are the mbers of Qianyuan Association?"
"I don’t know."
Shen Yucheng lay in the pit, shaking his head in pain, "While I was the deputy commander of the Exploration Departnt, I led a mission once, during which a Mutant contacted and beca a friend. He offered terms I couldn’t refuse, accelerating my Cultivation and Evolution, greatly increasing my power."
He paused, then continued, "I only later realized his intentions, by which ti I was already in too deep to get out."
"We always t in the Star Realm."
"When executing exploration missions, it was also the other party who provided a lot of information and support, allowing to gain rit and rapidly rise through the ranks of the Exploration Departnt."
At this point, Shen Yucheng let out a self-deprecating laugh, his expression complex.
"Who was it?" Ji Xinghuo asked again.
"Not one person, but many." Shen Yucheng replied, "They all had the ability to transform. Even though they used the sa face to et , I figured out long ago that they were at least three different people."
He looked at Ji Xinghuo, "I’ve already checked. There are no identity records on Earth; such a situation is very likely because they have never been to Earth, else they would have left so traces."
"Are you sure about that?" Ji Xinghuo’s gaze flickered.
"Heh..." Shen Yucheng’s eyes were full of confidence, "Do you think I could have beco deputy director at 40 just by relying on others? When it cos to information gathering, I am second to none. Ever since I knew there was a problem with the origin of those people and a powerful organization behind them, I’ve been secretly investigating, collecting their information. That’s how I found out about the na of the Qianyuan Association. Otherwise, your Sword Bureau would still be in the dark."
Ji Xinghuo nodded, "What else do you know? Speak."
"The Qianyuan Association is a global organization, with mbers and establishnts in Earth’s principal nations."
"Their structure is very tight-knit, secretly cultivating many Mutants, infiltrating governntal and corporate organizations, reaching very high levels, not only possessing Legendary strong beings, but also Heavenly Kings!"
"The Qianyuan Association controls at least one Earth Star Gate, allowing them free entry and exit to the Star Realm."
"I suspect they organized in the Star Realm, and even their mastermind could co from the Star Realm!"
Listening to this, Ji Xinghuo grew solemn.
With thirteen Star Gates on Earth, even if all led to Olympia, having one controlled by soone outside of Earth was extrely serious. This threatened the safety of the entire Earth and all of humanity.
If true, the Qianyuan Association was a "traitor to Earth"!
"Dagon people or Sky Feather Royal Court?" He imdiately inquired, for only these forces could harbor such enmity towards Earth and organize the Qianyuan Association.
Shen Yucheng responded, "I’m not sure."
"Is it that you are not sure, or you don’t want to say?" Ji Xinghuo’s expression grew cold.
"I really don’t know!" Shen Yucheng hurriedly defended himself, "If I had to make a guess, the Winged People of the Sky Feather Royal Court are the most likely suspects."
"Why do you say that?"
"I worked in the Exploration Departnt for over twenty years, spending most of my ti on missions in the Thousand Peak Abyss Forest. The Qianyuan Association was always able to assist . The Dagon people shouldn’t have the capacity to do that. Apart from the Winged People, I can’t think of anyone else who could."
Shen Yucheng shared his speculations.
