Chapter 1629 - Meeting A Raider For The First Time

Zhan Gang fell silent.

Buried Heaven had the stealth attacker's limb. As soon as the limb approached its body of origin, it would immediately sense this. It was a reaction that could not be faked.

If the individual responsible for the covert attack really was Zhan Zhuo, he would be exposed as soon as he met Buried Heaven.

Zhan Guang had no intention of s.h.i.+elding the murderer. It was just that he felt Buried Heaven's request to verify whether or not Zhan Zhuo was the perpetrator would not look good for the Combat G.o.d Temple's reputation.

"What if he's not the perpetrator?" Zhan Guang finally broke the silence after a long while.

"I'll publicly apologize to the Combat G.o.d Temple, as well as compensate Zhan Zhuo with a Dao Weapon," Buried Heaven said unhesitatingly. Clearly, he had prepared his mitigations before he came here.

"If he really is the perpetrator, though, I hope that the Combat G.o.d Temple will seek justice for myself and Death Sickle." Buried Heaven stared fixedly at Zhan Guang, waiting for his response.

Zhan Guang pondered for a moment, then nodded. "If he is truly the attacker, the Combat G.o.d Temple definitely won't s.h.i.+eld him. Not only that, we'll give Death Sickle our full support to help find the wretch who destroyed Death Sickle's headquarters!

"As a member of the G.o.d Territory, attacking a person performing unification in the G.o.d Territory violates the G.o.d Territory's joint pact. Slaughtering a grade-6 organization's entire headquarters makes them a public enemy of the G.o.d Territory!"

"Senior is wise!" Buried Heaven complimented immediately.

"If something's not right with Zhan Zhuo, he'll definitely sense something is off if I asked him to come here. He might even flee straight away. I think it's best I take you over to see him." Zhan Guang gave this some thought and took a sip of tea before standing up.

Lin Huang and Buried heaven immediately got up as well. They followed Zhan Guang and left the cultivation room.

As soon as they stepped out of the door of the cultivation room, Zhan Guang summoned a Dimensional Whirlpool with a flick of his wide sleeve and led the other two into it.

A moment later, they exited the Dimensional Whirlpool.

This was a barren, desolate place. Lin Huang did not sense any traces of life force at all. He only saw an ancient palace not too far away.

Zhan Guang arrived in front of the great palace in just a few steps. He pounded on the door heavily with his fist.

"Zhan Zhuo, Buried Heaven from Death Sickle wants to ask you about something."

However, despite knocking for quite a while, the ma.s.sive doors of the palace remained closed.

Lin Huang and Buried Heaven glanced at each other. Both of them felt that the chances of Zhan Zhuo showing his face were low.

He most likely would pretend that he was away to avoid this meeting.

However, after knocking for a long time without a response, Zhan Guang decided to shout at the top of his lungs.

"Zhan Zhuo, I'm here today to give you the chance to explain yourself. However, if you refuse to see us today and Buried Heaven and his people make trouble for you later, the Combat G.o.d Temple won't intervene on your behalf. Also, according to the G.o.d Territory's joint pact, the Combat G.o.d Temple will join forces with the other grade-7 organizations to aid in your capture!"

Lin Huang had never expected Zhan Guang to go this far.

However, Buried Heaven did not seem surprised. Evidently, he knew Zhan Guang's character very well. This was also why he had met with him directly in person and confided in him about what had happened to Death Sickle.

After Zhan Guang's shout, the door of the ancient palace finally opened a moment later.

"Come in."

A voice came from within the palace.

Lin Huang was expressionless, but Buried Heaven frowned slightly.

Zhan Zhuo's ancient palace was clearly a Dao Weapon.

If they went in, they would be in his territory altogether.

Zhan Guang turned his head to glance at Buried Heaven and Lin Huang. He seemed to notice Buried Heaven's hesitation. "Don't worry, I'm here after all."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and entered the ancient palace.

As soon as the three of them stepped inside, the door of the ancient palace closed with a loud thud.

They walked straight through into the deeper recesses of the palace and saw a young man sitting upright on a prayer mat.

This man's appearance was extremely eye-catching. His countenance was handsome, his eyes were like stars, and he gave off a sense of standing out from the common crowd.

Lin Huang immediately looked in the direction of the young man's right hand. The limb was whole.

However, this did not explain away anything. For Lords, physical regeneration of the body was a simple task. However, Lin Huang had not just simply severed the attacker's hand; he had also severed a quant.i.ty of Odyl. If this was a regenerated hand, Odyl could not possibly circulate smoothly in the short term.

Obviously, Buried Heaven and Zhan Guang also looked at Zhan Zhuo's hand at once.

"I've been in closed-door cultivation for the last few days. Is there something I can help both of you with?"

Zhan Zhuo did not even ask Buried Heaven who Lin Huang was at all.

However, although Zhan Zhuo did not so much as glance at him, Lin Huang sensed that he had surrept.i.tiously used Divine Telekinesis to look him over.

Buried Heaven took a step forward and said bluntly, "A few days back, was it you who attempted a covert attack on me during unification?!"

Beside them, Zhan Guang raised his brows when he heard that. He had not expected Buried Heaven to be so straightforward.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Zhan Zhuo's eyelids twitched as he looked at Buried Heaven, his expression quite displeased. "Have you considered the consequences of accusing a Lord like this?"

"Oh, really?" Buried Heaven turned his head to nod at Lin Huang. "Bring it out."

The minute Buried Heaven gave the word, Lin Huan retrieved the severed hand from his storage s.p.a.ce.

Almost as soon as the severed hand was taken out, it began struggling intensely, eager to go to where Zhan Zhuo was.

However, several of Lin Huang's telekinetic threads secured it in a death grip, f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y suppressing it.

Zhan Guang's brow furrowed tightly when he saw what was happening. Although he had already been mentally prepared, feeling that Buried Heaven would not have come here without a strong case, he still found it hard to accept the evidence of his eyes—that the severed hand was clearly Zhan Zhuo's.

"Do you have any other explanation for that?" Buried Heaven stared at Zhan Zhuo coldly.

Zhan Zhuo did not answer the question, nor did he continue feigning ignorance by asking what the hand was. Instead, he turned his head to look at Zhan Guang. "You shouldn't have come."

"Covertly attacking an individual during unification is behavior that violates the G.o.d Territory's joint pact!" Zhan Guang's expression was severe."Why did you do that?!"

"The G.o.d Territory's joint pact?" Zhan Zhuo gave a snort of laughter. "Why would I bother obeying a child's game?"

Zhan Zhuo had completely revealed his true colors now. His gaze had finally settled on Lin Huang as well.

"I never thought that we'd actually manage to lure you here, even though we were just attacking to test the waters."

Lin Huang's heart sank when he heard that. "You're a Raider?!"

Zhan Zhuo smirked suddenly. "I was merely guessing just now, so I used that simple sentence to test you. Who would have thought that you would betray yourself?"

Lin Huang frowned.

Only travelers were aware of the Raiders' existence. His question earlier had completely exposed his ident.i.ty as a traveler.

"You've not lived this life in vain, seeing that you'll have two Lords as your burial companions." As soon as Zhan Zhuo finished speaking, the hand seals that he had been secretly performing within his sleeves suddenly took effect.

The relief carvings on the bronze pillars in the palace seemed to come alive. Every single one of their auras was lord-level!
