Chu Tian heard the other party asking him the same question.
His heart stirred.
Was he not from Shenhai Palace?
However, Chu Tian did not reveal it.
The other party might be faking it!
Or perhaps she was confirming if he was of the same identity as her.
"Hoo… you are not from Shenhai Palace."
First, he was still considering how to answer.
Should he use his wits to extract useful information from the other party, or directly subdue them?
The woman who was fully on guard suddenly relaxed.
"En?" This made Chu Tian curious.
He was about to ask.
The woman spoke again before him.
"You guys should have just arrived here, right?"
"Who exactly are you?" Chu Tian finally couldn't help but become curious about their identities.
"Never mind who we are, hurry and leave here… if you can leave."
The most beautiful girl put away the short knife in her hand.
There was a sense of urgency in what she said to Chu Tian.
However, she added an "if" at the end.
"Why? Is there something that will keep us here and not let us go?"
Chu Tian frowned. He seemed to have heard something he wanted to know from this girl.
It turned out that in Liaozhong, inexplicable things were happening.
"Mm…"
Seeing that Chu Tian had no intention of leaving, the other party pondered for a moment.
Behind her, three women walked out.
They had been doing something strange just now, which Chu Tian had been monitoring with his divine sense.
These ordinary people, though detestable, were still lives.
Chu Tian thought they had only lured these people over to teach them a lesson.
But he never expected that they would suddenly attack without a word and kill them directly.
This caused Chu Tian to be a step too late, as he did not expect the other party to act so decisively.
He saved one person after arriving here.
This girl who was being harassed chased after him.
The other three girls were studying something on the corpses.
Chu Tian originally thought they wouldn't be so perverted, having a decade-long obsession with corpses!
However, just now, those three girls had meticulously dissected the corpses piece by piece.
Finally, one of the girls suddenly discovered something.
She attacked instantly, her tweezers pinching something.
The three women exchanged glances and looked surprised and delighted.
Chu Tian was stunned because he saw that the girl's tweezers seemed to be pinching something.
But in his divine sense, there was nothing…
Chu Tian felt a bit depressed. It was this situation again.
Something that his divine sense could not detect.
This was not the first or second time this had happened.
"Feifei, I found it, it's really there!"
The girl ran out, holding something in her tweezers. Chu Tian saw with his naked eye a pitch-black granule, the size of a mung bean.
The granule was still expanding and wriggling, as if trying to escape the fate of being pinched by the tweezers.
Seeing this, Chu Tian's heart stirred.
The girl called Feifei looked towards that thing.
There was no great surprise, unlike the other three women.
"It seems our guess is correct, people here have been infected by this Gu!"
Chu Tian naturally saw the thing, but his heart trembled violently.
"This…"
"This is a Gu worm that appeared in the body after absorbing the spiritual energy emanating from here!"
Feifei thought Chu Tian was asking what it was and patiently explained it to him.
However, she didn't know that Chu Tian wasn't asking her.
Instead, he gasped. What he found on the wriggling thing had the same aura as the black substance he found within the spiritual energy.
It even bore a slight resemblance to the swarm of things in the video provided by Sui Xing.
Like the larvae of that thing.
It was not wrong to call this thing a Gu worm as Feifei said.
This thing really seemed like a worm.
However, in the recorded video given by Sui Xing, those black things were all shrouded in black mist.
Its true form could not be seen…
But Chu Tian always felt that thing had life and intelligence.
Could it be…
That the Void God Realm invades other great worlds through such things?
Before, Sui Xing said that in the First Universe, this black mist-like thing suddenly erupted.
It began to attack humans in large numbers and control all living beings.
Chu Tian speculated that the Void God Realm directly invaded the First Universe and used this invasion substance, called by Sui Xing, to conquer it.
Now it seemed it was not without warning.
Perhaps the First Universe was too vast.
So, in a hidden corner planet, a spiritual energy outburst like that on Blue Star occurred.
The appearance of the spiritual energy sphere released the unique spiritual energy of the Void God Realm.
After this spiritual energy entered the body to a certain extent, this worm would appear.
When the worm matures…
The disaster of the First Universe would begin.
Thinking of this, Chu Tian felt that it made sense.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Sui Xing to say that so much black gas suddenly appeared like an army.
Even a novice like Chu Tian knew how robust the barriers of a great world were.
If it were so easy to break through the barrier of a great universe.
Then they wouldn't need to be so cautious and could just go ahead and do it.
However, speaking of which, there were a total of nine Pi Universes.
The universe where Blue Star was located was outside these nine, called the Desolate Domain.
With nine universes as barriers, this thing still appeared.
Then were the first nine universes all fallen?
What about his mother?
After all, his Underworld Lord mother had also gone directly to fight the Void God Realm.
Suddenly, Chu Tian became anxious.
He worried that his mother might be in danger.
The Void God Realm had already attacked the Desolate Domain.
According to the timeline, Dao Tian said it would be in four to five years.
Then, two years had already passed.
Thinking of this, Chu Tian felt time was running out.
His heart sank, and he turned his head to look at Feifei.
"Who exactly are you people? What is your purpose in coming here…"
The woman before him was by no means an ordinary person.
They came here to carry out a mission.
Those hooligans were truly unlucky to run into them.
However… it was fortunate they met them.
If other girls encountered such a situation, the victims would have been reversed.
These incorrigible fellows, who knew if they had done any heinous things before.
Their current fate could be considered deserved.
"We are from the Ninth Branch Office, this is our mission!"
She pointed at the thing being put into a jar.
Then she looked at Chu Tian and continued, "Conversely, who are you people?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Tian looked at her with confusion.
"Ninth Branch Office?"
Chu Tian suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Ye Ling since he returned.
Whether it was the people brought back from Antarctica or the small world of the Luo family.
He had seen Ye Ling!
He only heard that the Ninth Branch Office collapsed upon contact with Shenhai Palace in the first stage.
He heard it from Zhao Lei.
He didn't have any abnormal reactions, so Chu Tian didn't ask about Ye Ling.
Given Zhao Lei's relationship with Ye Ling, if something happened to her, Zhao Lei, the most anxious one, would probably go mad.
Therefore, Chu Tian didn't inquire about Ye Ling's situation.
Now, this girl before him suddenly said she was from the Ninth Branch Office.
It made Chu Tian quite surprised.
He knew that Chu Tian had joined the Earth Branch Office a long time ago.
Except for the first time he accompanied him to Limali Village for a mission.
It seemed he had never performed any missions for the Ninth Branch Office!
He felt a bit ashamed to say it.
He had even killed the boss of the Ninth Branch Office.
He had even ruthlessly purged the dissenting factions of the Ninth Branch Office.
Of course, some dissenting factions were not killed.
This group was similar to Ye Ling.
Who was brainwashed but had not taken excessive measures.
Moreover, they were suspicious of their own actions after being brainwashed.
In other words, these people had strong willpower.
They were not dehumanized after being brainwashed.
Seeing Feifei and the others now, it seemed the statement that the Ninth Branch Office had completely collapsed was not true.
"Which group are you from? Are you stationed in Liaozhong?"
Chu Tian did not answer her question but retorted.
"We are the Dark Group…"
Feifei said without thinking.
"Feifei!"
She was about to say more, but an older woman behind her called her name in a slightly reprimanding tone.
"Uh…" Feifei immediately stopped, her expression showing a hint of embarrassment. Her gaze towards Chu Tian shifted, with a trace of anger.
"I've asked you so many questions, and you haven't answered any of them. I'm done talking to you, we still need to go back and report the mission, and see how to deal with this thing.
If you can leave, then leave quickly! However, those people from Shenhai Palace won't let you leave easily!
It's easy to enter this area but difficult to leave. Good luck to yourselves!
But remember to seal yourselves and don't absorb this Gu-infested spiritual energy to improve your cultivation!"
This girl was quite kind-hearted.
Although she was annoyed that Chu Tian was trying to trick her into revealing information.
She still gave Chu Tian a few reminders.
It seemed this girl was quite kind.
But Chu Tian really wanted to know what this Dark Group was.
He had never heard of the Ninth Branch Office having a Dark Group.
The four women present were all strong.
Especially the girl called Feifei, who looked about 19 years old.
Her speed in wielding her saber and her movements were like teleportation.
She was almost as fast as the little Faxian before.
He wondered who was faster between the two of them.
Perhaps they practiced some formidable movement techniques?
Why did they all have their trump cards?
It seemed only he didn't!
Actually, Chu Tian did have them, but he had almost forgotten them.
He never dared to use that move on Blue Star.
He had used it once in the Sea of Death.
Fortunately, he pulled down a tiny star, which was tens of thousands of times smaller than the Xuan Tian Star.
Blue Star was different.
This planet was not large to begin with.
If he accidentally pulled down the moon or something.
Wouldn't it result in a novice big bang?
This move was a forbidden skill.
Starfall!
Such a heaven-defying spell.
It was no different from having it or not.
He couldn't possibly injure a thousand enemies at the cost of ten thousand of his own.
"Humph, let's go!"
The girl named Feifei, seeing Chu Tian dazed and not responding.
She let out a soft hum of dissatisfaction, turned around, and was about to leave.
"Wait…"
Chu Tian quickly called out to her.
"What for?" Feifei stopped and looked back at Chu Tian.
"That… actually, I'm also from the Ninth Branch Office!"
As he said this, he took out his little notebook from the Ninth Branch Office.
There was a large "M" on it.
It was marked as Shengjing City.
Originally, he thought Feifei would recognize him after seeing it.
However, the girl glanced at it and then pouted.
"Team M, huh? Alright, we're colleagues then!"
She had a disdainful expression.
On the contrary, the three women behind her.
Seeing Chu Tian take out his little notebook, which also had his photo on it.
They looked at it carefully.
Confirming it was not fake.
They smiled at Chu Tian.
These three women had been stern-faced before.
But their positions seemed lower than Feifei's.
So, Feifei had always been the one speaking.
Now that they saw Chu Tian was one of their own, they were not so rigid.
Instead, one woman handed the little notebook back to Chu Tian.
She said, "No matter what team, we are colleagues. Don't mind Feifei!"
"Sister Lin, what do you mean!"
"Feifei, stop messing around. Besides the teams, how many are left in Class 9?
Are we still distinguishing between M and Q? It's good enough that we're alive!"
Another woman spoke beside her.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Lin, this is our eldest sister… Zhao Yan, the third is… Zhang Qian!
I'm the second eldest, and who is the youngest!"
The woman who returned the identification to Chu Tian was named Zhang Lin.
She introduced them one by one.
And she was quite enthusiastic towards Chu Tian.
However, Chu Tian felt a bit awkward.
He was not recognized.
All the excuses he had thought of were now useless.
Could these women be from the countryside?
They didn't even recognize the famous Chu Tian!
He knew that the name Chu Tian was well-known in the Ninth Branch Office.
It was he who dealt with Elder Xu.
It was also he who reorganized the style of the Ninth Branch Office.
Without the conflicts between the factions.
The Ninth Branch Office was flourishing.
If not for the sudden appearance of Shenhai Palace.
They could have developed rapidly and restored the operational capabilities of the Ninth Branch Office.
"Did you not participate in that confrontation with Shenhai Palace?"
Zhao Yan asked.
"Uh… I was carrying out another mission at that time!"
Chu Tian felt a little awkward.
The three women's expressions changed after hearing this, and they exchanged glances.
"You're lying!"
Feifei jumped out at that moment.
She pointed at Chu Tian's nose.
"You… you're just a cowardly deserter! As expected, no good people come from Team M!"
After saying that, she stomped her foot and turned her head.
"Big sister, second sister, third sister, let's go!"
The three women stopped talking, gave Chu Tian a deep look.
They turned around and followed Feifei, leaving quickly.
This completely confused Chu Tian.
Weren't things going well just now?
Why did it change so suddenly?
Was it just because he didn't participate in that battle?
He had no idea.
That battle between the Ninth Branch Office and Shenhai Palace.
All team missions were canceled.
The battle took place after the assembly of personnel.
Among the registered teams.
There were indeed some absent members.
The reasons were unknown.
However, it was an urgent matter.
There was no time to investigate.
The matter of Shenhai Palace had to be resolved immediately.
But they did not expect.
Shenhai Palace was so powerful.
In one collision, the Ninth Branch Office was almost wiped out.
Not many people escaped.
But after these people gathered together.
They all labeled those teams that did not come to the assembly as deserters.
Chu Tian's last sentence.
Made them think that Chu Tian was one of those cowardly, weaklings, and deserters!
