Chapter 699 214: The Qualitative Change of the Storage Technique

Because all of his Divine Powers were above Level 5.

'So now I need to go get some Evil Qi,' Shen Bai mused, rubbing his chin.

As he pondered, the Qi inside his body began to change.

Wisps of Golden Qi formed a Golden Bridge, completely connecting the seventh one.

Now, Shen Bai was only one Golden Bridge away from the Void Realm.

He could probably reach it just by grinding one of his Divine Powers to the next level.

'One pleasant surprise after another,' Shen Bai thought, delighted.

He could currently fight against those in the Celestial Spirit Realm, but it would take time to defeat someone at the Celestial Spirit Realm Peak.

Once he stepped into the Void Realm, the entire Celestial Spirit Realm would be like a toy in his hands.

Shen Bai rubbed his hands together, ready to continue grinding.

However, with a scan of his Void-breaking Red Eye, he saw Ding Quan walking up the stairs.

During this period, Ding Quan had been responsible for supplying all of Shen Bai's materials.

Shen Bai wasn't surprised by Ding Quan's arrival.

But at this moment, Ding Quan was holding a folded report, which likely meant he had something to discuss with him.

Thinking this, Shen Bai temporarily set aside his plan to grind his Skill Level and waited patiently.

Seeing that Shen Bai was no longer busy, Amber emerged from his body and gently massaged his shoulders.

Meanwhile, Red Makeup placed a freshly brewed cup of hot tea on the table.

Shen Bai rubbed Amber's cat ears, picked up the hot tea, and took a small sip.

Just as he set the cup down, Ding Quan arrived at the door.

"Lord Shen, I have an urgent matter to report."

Standing at the entrance, Ding Quan did not enter. Instead, he cupped his fist respectfully as he spoke, strictly observing etiquette.

Shen Bai nodded. "Come in and speak."

Only then did Ding Quan walk in respectfully and place the folded report on the table.

Shen Bai picked it up and looked through it for a moment.

It contained all the information they had gotten out of Zhao Feng, but there wasn't much.

"What's going on? He's a member of the Evil Extermination Bureau, after all. It's impossible that this is all the information he has," Shen Bai said.

The man was, at the very least, an Evil Extermination Bureau member at the Celestial Spirit Realm.

In Shen Bai's opinion, the amount of information in the report was far too little.

Ding Quan said, "Before he came to carry out the mission, many of his memories were personally erased. After discussing it with Lord Wang and the others, I believe it was the work of the Great Yue Country's National Preceptor, ensuring no loose ends were left."

Upon hearing this, Shen Bai came to a realization. "If that's the case, then it all makes sense."

Recently, Zhao Feng had been tortured in the dungeons to the point of being unrecognizable.

Even the toughest man couldn't have endured it.

Therefore, the intelligence in the report was likely everything Zhao Feng knew.

After all, when sending someone to assassinate him, the enemy would have considered the possibility of capture. Erasing some memories was a normal precaution.

"What did the higher-ups say?" Shen Bai asked.

This incident was a slap in the face to the Great Zhou Country, so Shen Bai believed the higher-ups must have taken some action.

Ding Quan said, "The higher-ups have already entered negotiations with the Great Yue Country, but they claim that Zhao Feng is a traitor to their Evil Extermination Bureau. In other words, they're disavowing him."

"But rest assured, Lord Shen. The Great Yue Country has already paid a considerable amount of compensation to the Great Zhou Country because of this."

Shen Bai frowned. "And that's it? Just that?"

If that was all, Shen Bai felt it was far from enough.

It meant the matter was considered finished just because the other side paid some compensation.

Ding Quan shook his head. "Of course, there's more. Overnight, over a dozen of their Celestial Spirit Realm masters died."

Hearing this, Shen Bai roughly understood what had happened.

The Great Zhou Country had also made a move, killing over a dozen of their Evil Extermination Bureau members from the Celestial Spirit Realm.

"That must have come at a great cost, right?" Shen Bai asked.

Killing over a dozen masters from the Celestial Spirit Realm, all of them from the Evil Extermination Bureau... Shen Bai didn't believe it could be done without paying some price.

Ding Quan nodded. "Only a small price. A few of our spies have already returned to the Great Zhou Country after eliminating those Evil Extermination Bureau members. Their lives are not in danger."

"The Head of the General Department said that Lord Shen is the future pillar of our Great Zhou Country. If he couldn't help you settle this score, then he wouldn't be worthy of his position."

Since it was put that way, Shen Bai felt that this resolution wasn't too bad.

However, this was a debt he still intended to settle personally.

Once his strength reached a sufficient level, he would personally go to the Great Yue Country and have a good "chat" with the National Preceptor.

After briefly explaining the situation, Ding Quan left the room.

Soon, Shen Bai was the only one left in the room.

Amber and Red Makeup attended to him while the latest attributes of his Divine Powers appeared before his eyes.
