Chapter 506: Cangling's Gift
Directly mentioning Cangling??
Wu Hen felt somewhat surprised.
In other words, Dai Jing was Cangling's right-hand man!
Wu Hen didn't know if this was a trap deliberately set by the other party or if he accidentally got this important piece of information.
He remained expressionless and calm: "So, you work for that God called Cangling, and the Life Pearl was created by him?"
"Don't you already know the origin of the Life Pearl?" Dai Jing asked in return, "Tell me, I'm curious to see how much you can decipher from this murky world."
"All the mutated creatures in this land are like living furnaces, ultimately refining out Mutant Beads. If so, can humans also act as such containers, placed in this wasteland environment to continuously melt down, then giving rise to so-called Human Pearls, which, because they are cultivated and nurtured through human bodies, match human attributes, and thus the real Life Pearls cause very little side effects to humans. Back in Area L of the Blood Lake Base, those numerous Illusion Soldiers were mostly the waste from producing Life Pearls...so I guess, the Life Pearls are extracted from you Illusion Form Warriors who are treated as live experiments, you warriors are the containers of the Life Pearls," Wu Hen revealed.
"Clap, clap, clap!" Dai Jing couldn't help but applaud Wu Hen, "You do have quite a clever little brain!"
"So the true creator of the Life Pearl is this Cangling you mentioned?" Wu Hen asked.
"I can't answer you, but I can give you a little advice," Dai Jing said.
"What advice?" Wu Hen asked.
"Do not fantasize about unveiling the truth here. Lord Cangling is watching you, and furthermore, Lord Cangling has instructed me to give you a gift as a warning!" Dai Jing said, her eyes becoming extremely cold.
Wu Hen immediately heightened his alertness and prepared to remove any restraints on himself.
However, Dai Jing did not attack him, but suddenly flashed to the bottom of the staircase.
At the bottom of the stairs, a woman with a red hair tie was walking towards them, and upon seeing Wu Hen standing up high and talking with Dai Jing, she smiled and happily waved to Wu Hen above.
It was Mo Chuan, it seemed she came to bid farewell to Wu Hen, embarking on her own long and arduous journey of crossing.
But the next second, Dai Jing appeared behind Mo Chuan.
Her fingers elongated, like a crescent moon dagger, gently swept across Mo Chuan's neck.
As a Super Tenth Rank Life, Mo Chuan's speed and reflexes surpassed all creatures here, and she even had a chance to escape when surrounded by the Black Angel Army.
But facing Dai Jing's assault, she couldn't react at all.
Wu Hen was about to unleash his internal power when he saw this...
But everything happened too fast.
Dai Jing, who was just talking well with him a moment ago, turned into a cold executioner, her finger blade slashing across Mo Chuan's neck!
Bright red blood surged out, quickly staining Mo Chuan's chest.
Mo Chuan's face still held a gentle smile, she didn't even have time to feel the pain, as life had already slipped away.
Wu Hen felt a surge of anger rising within him, on the verge of breaking free and unleashing his Holy Soul, releasing all his energy, but Bai Ze's words calmed him down.
" She is testing you, don't expose yourself!"
Wu Hen forcibly swallowed his anger, fixing his gaze on the spot where Mo Chuan had fallen.
Dai Jing flashed a smile at Wu Hen, her eyes shrewd like a fox, observing every move he made, until she noticed Wu Hen charging towards her powered by his Super Tenth Rank Life force. Only then did Dai Jing spread her black Illusion wings and turned to fly towards the sky behind her.
Wu Hen wanted to pursue, but once in the air, Dai Jing's body transformed into countless Illusion feathers that, like petals melting upon meeting sunlight, vanished before Wu Hen's eyes along with Dai Jing's inherently complex life form.
At this moment, Wu Hen activated his Spiritual Vision.
He would not allow this woman to escape right before his eyes.
He saw a glint of a soul, moving at a speed his eyes couldn't follow, flying towards the sky, towards a dim star above the vault of heaven, as if that star was her true form, and the body of the Illusion Form Warrior merely a shell.
Wu Hen realized he could not possibly catch up.
He returned to the ground, picking up Mo Chuan, who had "died".
Although they had spent only a short time together, Wu Hen had a favorable impression of her.
To watch helplessly as she was beheaded by Dai Jing before him was undoubtedly agonizing.
The cunning Cangling, his spy had been by his side all along.
Wu Hen was somewhat puzzled, how exactly had Cangling from such a high place above in the vault of heaven pinpointed Wu Hen who had hidden into the Wasteland?
If he indeed possessed such immense Divine Skills, then crushing Wu Hen would just be a simple task, why bother having Dai Jing warn him.
Moreover, warning him seemed to be an incidental matter for Dai Jing, it was apparent that her real mission was to establish a new order in this Wasteland, or perhaps to give birth to a new Law.
"This is just her host body, the girl's soul must have returned to the Divine Realm by now. You should go back to the Divine Realm immediately to find her; perhaps this girl knows something. Otherwise, this cunning fox wouldn't have singled her out. She could just as well have killed Guo Hong, Lu Xian, Taiya, and the others who are more familiar to you!" Bai Ze reminded Wu Hen at the crucial moment, to maintain his calm.
Cangling was already launching an attack at Wu Hen.
This also indicated that Wu Hen was getting closer to Cangling.
The closer he gets, the more accurate Cangling's counter-tracking!
Wu Hen nodded.
The priority indeed was to return to the Divine Realm. Since Mo Chuan was a member of the Douyi Star Palace, finding her true identity wouldn't be difficult.
Previously, Wu Hen had used the Soul Nesting Wood to return to the Nuwa God End.
But now, to travel back to Tongtian City would be a lengthy journey; rather, it might be faster to return directly to the Divine Realm with his current state as a Super Tenth Rank Life, even without lifting the Prohibition.
It was unknown, however, what the situation around the Nuwa God End was like now, whether it was similar to the time at Red Port, being watched by many forces from the Cang Chu Divine Realm.
"Indeed, this Cangling must possess Divine Skills not inferior to your Power of Death Omen. He is certain you would pose a great threat to him, hence he intercepted you en route as if he already knew what the future holds. Previously he couldn't pinpoint you because you hadn't stepped into his Divine Knowledge boundary, but as you drew nearer, he precisely screened you out," said Bai Ze.
