Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

Chapter 835: 891, Cao Chengxiang and Elder Zhu meet

At this moment, inside Makadun’s royal palace, Elder Zhu was deeply immersed in examining the intelligence reports collected by the “Ti Qi” organization.

“No Soul-shielding Stone? How is that possible?” He furrowed his brows deeply as he looked at the description in the intelligence report.

The matter Elder Zhu was investigating goes back to over a month ago.

More than a month ago, he had successfully met with Zhong Feng and spoke about the events that had occurred on Blue Star.

During the conversation, one thing caught his attention, which was the “Soul-shielding Stone”.

Before the “Gravitational Funnel” incident, the cultivators’ main base—the gigantic Spring Eye on Yunlu Mountain—had been attacked stealthily twice.

Ordinary people controlled by the Skrull people, holding “Soul-shielding Stones”, fooled the guards and made their way into the Yunlu Mountain peak base.

Due to the dense population and numerous pathways on the mountain peak at that time, those ordinary people controlled by the Skrull people caused very serious casualties.

Upon hearing about this incident, the “Soul-shielding Stone” immediately drew Elder Zhu’s concern.

On Blue Star, the Soul-shielding Stones had been collected and destroyed by Emperor Qin Shi Huang during the unification of the country in the Qin Dynasty; but shockingly, these stones still existed on Skru Star!

The Skrull people’s innate abilities made them extremely adept at disguise.

If, once the great battle began, the Skrull people used their innate abilities in combination with the “Soul-shielding Stones,” wouldn’t they be able to easily infiltrate deep into Blue Star’s rear and create a huge hazard?

Having thought of this, Elder Zhu felt that he couldn’t ignore the matter.

Therefore, over this past month, he had the Ti Qi organization conduct an in-depth investigation into the “Soul-shielding Stone”, determined to clarify its inventory, mining locations, and which major forces controlled it… among other key information.

Today, the investigation results from Ti Qi were finally out.

But the conclusions were completely unexpected to Elder Zhu.

The investigation report stated—there was no substance similar to the “Soul-shielding Stone” on Skru Star, and no historical documents had any records relating to it.

Seeing this, a series of question marks involuntarily appeared on Elder Zhu’s forehead.

How could it be? No substance similar to the “Soul-shielding Stone” on Skru Star? Then where did the Skrull people get the “Soul-shielding Stones” they used?

He sat on the dragon throne, chin propped on his hand, utterly puzzled.

…

Just as he was about to call the person responsible for the investigation from Ti Qi for questioning, a lamp suddenly lit up on the side of the throne, emitting a red light.

Seeing the lamp that had lit up, Elder Zhu immediately understood—Zhong Feng had come!

So, he temporarily set aside the matters in his hand and got up to head to the cavern.

He was going to give Zhong Feng the “Moonlight Positioning Stone” he had prepared and at the same time inform him about the matter of the “Soul-shielding Stone”.

Furthermore, he wanted to say “Well done!” to Zhong Feng, as he had been closely following the affairs of the Dragon Race, and Zhong Feng had done an excellent job in luring the Dragon Race to besiege Sun City!

…

However, as he arrived at the entrance to the underground cavern, he suddenly felt something was amiss.

Elder Zhu stood still at the entrance of the cavern, using his profound magical power to sense the situation within.

The last time Zhong Feng had come, he had directly released his own presence, and Elder Zhu had immediately detected it upon entering the cavern.

But this time, he did not sense Zhong Feng’s presence, not just Zhong Feng’s, but anyone’s presence at all.

Could it be that someone else had arrived? And that person had concealed their presence?

Elder Zhu stood at the entrance of the cave, cautiously calling out, “Taoist Zhong, are you there?”

A rough voice came from inside, “Haha, Taoist Zhu, Taoist Zhong is not here, he entrusted me to come over.”

Hearing this voice, Elder Zhu was startled, “You are… Taoist Cao!”

Flying into the cave for a look, he indeed saw Prime Minister Cao seated on a stone bench within the cavern.

Gently stroking his beard, Prime Minister Cao stood up and said, “It’s me. I learned your contact methods from Taoist Zhong, so I came over to see.”

“My, my, I didn’t expect you to come over… I’ve heard about your acquisition of the Sword of Many Proverbs’ hilt—it really shocked the world!”

“You’re not too shabby yourself! To have gained true control of such a large kingdom, and moreover, to have restored your strength to the Combined Period… Honestly, my main body is still only at the peak of the Dividing Spirit Stage!”

Elder Zhu and Prime Minister Cao approached each other, and the two chatted warmly, exchanging one sentence after another.

The relationship between Prime Minister Cao and Elder Zhu had always been very good; before the Skuru invasion was made public, they were among the earliest cultivators to decide to come out of isolation and fight against the alien invasion.

Moreover, they practically handled the work of contacting other cultivators. Figures like Emperor Liu Che, Emperor Taizong, and even Western powers like King Arthur and Jun Eleven had all emerged from isolation under their grave advisement.

Furthermore, the two lived very close to each other, with Prime Minister Cao living above Su Yu, and Elder Zhu living below Su Yu. After a long period of cooperation, they had become good friends.

So, upon meeting again, their conversation was especially spirited.

…

After a half-hour of conversation, the catching up finally came to an end.

In the end, Prime Minister Cao expressed regretfully, “Taoist Zhu, I actually would like to continue talking with you, we still have a lot that we haven’t discussed. But the space tunnel to the Blue Star is about to close, and I must go back now.”

“Then let’s chat again next time,” Elder Zhu said with a look of regret.

He took out a small “Qiankun Bag” from his storage equipment and handed it to Prime Minister Cao:

“Taoist Cao, there are fifty ‘moonlight positioning stones’ inside this bag. Next time you transmit here, as long as you hold one of these stones, you’ll be able to be transmitted directly to this underground cavern—no need to worry about being sent to some dangerous place on Skru Star.”

“To have such a wonderful thing!” Prime Minister Cao’s eyes lit up.

Zhong Feng had only mentioned in his voice transmission that the moonlight positioning stone was very important to humans, without specifying the exact effects of these stones.

He hadn’t expected their effect to be so good!

With these stones, they wouldn’t have to worry about ending up like ‘A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated’, being delivered directly into the enemy’s lair.

“However, Taoist Zhu,” Prime Minister Cao’s tone shifted, becoming serious, “you also need to pay close attention to confidentiality! If our people all transmit to your location, exiting from Makadun kingdom, it’s very possible to draw the attention of the Skrull people.

We cannot afford to expose your identity, that would be a loss too great to bear.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the confidentiality,” Elder Zhu earnestly replied.

“By the way, there’s another matter,” Elder Zhu continued, “This is about the ‘Soul-shielding Stone’…”

Seizing the chance, Elder Zhu relayed the situation regarding the ‘Soul-shielding Stone’ to Prime Minister Cao.

At the end of their talk, he added, “After you return, you’d better inform the other cultivators about the ‘Soul-shielding Stone’. I always feel there is something off about this.

Of course, I will continue to search for related intelligence here. If there is any significant finding, I will inform you all next time.”

“Alright, then I’m heading back now.”

“Goodbye.”
