“?” The two of them looked at Wang Ye.

Then, they looked at each other.

“As expected. See, I told you this guy definitely knows a lot,” Chen He narrowed his eyes, “Since you know everything, then let’s cut the crap. The memory Lotus lamp is an ancient carrier. We told you before that it can help you cultivate your talent, but it’s not just that.”

“It was a divine artifact forged by our ancestors in the past to resist the dark fog. It used up a lot of manpower and resources. At the same time, it was also the talent-awakening source of the first batch of our ancestors. It’s extremely powerful and has many functions. However, with the development of the times, many functions of the object had gradually disappeared.”

“Among the most important functions, helping beastmasters cultivate their talent is just one of its insignificant functions. It can help a beastmaster awaken an even more powerful talent when cultivating. At the same time, it can also allow the user to produce a certain degree of resistance against the extremely powerful power of strangeness.”

“However, in modern times, due to the reasons of the times, it’s ancient and maintenance is difficult, so it now has some side effects. Normally, it will only be triggered when the power of strangeness reaches a certain level.”

“It also has a memory lotus rosette that is attached to it. However, its only use is to locate and sense each other. To prevent the lamp from being lost, we have kept the memory lotus rosette with us.”

Wang Ye remained silent.

“When we gave it to you back then, other than giving it to you to use, it was also a kind of test and protection for you,” Chen He looked around and his gaze lingered on the mechanical pet in the distance for a moment, “This is the only one we have in the Dawn Bureau. It was mainly to test whether your Deep Memory had mutated into the Door of Consciousness. Geniuses like to hide their secrets, but many times, hiding secrets will make people make wrong judgments.”

“This world is very dangerous. Wrong judgments will make you more dangerous, just like you… Of course, you seem to have a very magical ability. You have walked on the edge of countless dangers, but you can always pass through them skillfully.”

Speaking up to this point, Chen He paused, “Is there anything you want to ask?”

These two people did not seem to have any intention of asking what had just happened.

“Who is that “she” that you were talking about just now?”

“Hmm? You don’t know?” Chen He was stunned, “You should have exchanged blows with her just now. Could it be that the aura that the rosette sensed was wrong?”

Xia Wange, who was at the side, spoke up, “The dark fog Empress, Jing Huan. She’s one of the highest rulers of the Dark Fog Cult, a deity-rank beastmaster. She possesses a divine talent related to time. Later, she demonized and joined the Dark Fog Cult. After over a hundred years, she has thus ascended to be among the ranks of the Dark Fog Cult’s rulers. To be honest, even we are shocked to have sensed her aura. The last time she appeared was eighty years ago, during the Eastern Asian Fog Disaster that covered three countries.”

Wang Ye muttered in his heart, “To hell would I know that.”

“I didn’t expect that she would appear this time…” Chen He sighed, “It seems that the dark fog inductor hidden in Xinghai Province should be her doing. By the way, she definitely didn’t come in her real body. Who did she possess just now? Generally speaking, if she wants to take over someone else’s body, then the carrier must have a talent in the Spiritual Talent Sequence.”

Wang Ye paused and did not answer immediately.

It seemed that the two dark fog scholars did not know about Ming Zhu.

It made sense, though. After all, only he knew about the diary.

Ming Zhu also knew.

Without the diary, there was no way to know about Ming Tianxu, let alone senior Xiao Tao’s background.

Without knowing this, it would not be so easy to covet the demon sword.

Of course, what Ming Zhu wanted was to resurrect Xiao Tao, which was her ancestor Ming Tianxu’s pet, and make the Dark Fog Cult take the blame.

On the other hand, what the Dark Fog Cult wanted was to use the demon sword to cause chaos in Xinghai Province. It didn’t matter whether they took the blame or not.

Unfortunately, colluding with wolves made it easy for one to suffer a backlash.

“Ming Zhu’s talent is Soul Link. It seems that she has a Soul Link with this dark fog Empress, so she was possessed just now,” Wang Ye thought to himself.

Soul Link was a talent in the Spiritual Talent Sequence.

It allowed the beastmaster to be linked to a pet, obtaining a part of a pet’s abilities. Of course, it could naturally allow the user to be linked to a beastmaster, though that was more difficult and dangerous.

After all, humans were much more complicated than pets.

“To be honest, even if you didn’t tell us, we have a few guesses,” Xia Wange shook her head slightly. “But for now, let’s bring you out first. It’s time to settle the matters outside.”

Wang Ye nodded slightly.

“The matter of the demon sword from back then should be put to an end,” Chen He sighed.

“What is this place?” Wang Ye asked in silence.

“An illusory world,” Xia Wange said calmly, “To be more precise, it’s a kind of mechanical space, a world in a chip. So, everything around is virtual. Without external space coordinates and unique space perception, no one can enter.”

Speaking of this, the two looked at Wang Ye at the same time.

“Jing Huan was already a Deity-rank beastmaster several decades ago. Her spirit descended and possessed someone here, yet you can defeat her in this place…” Chen He looked at Wang Ye in shock, “To be honest, this is unbelievable. It’s much more ridiculous than how you dealt with that high-level strange god back in Anping County. However, your identity might also have been exposed.”

“What identity?” Wang Ye asked in his heart.

Did these two really believe what he said back then?

“Originally, our plan was that when the memory lotus lamp was activated, we would come and take care of matters,” Xia Wange shook her head, “I didn’t expect it to be over by the time we arrived.”

Wang Ye was speechless.

That illusory figure didn’t have a chance to attack him. Only when she was on the verge of being defeated by Xiao Jiu and the white python at the last moment that she used some kind of talent skill to suddenly attack him.

However, thinking about it, she was already so ridiculously strong when only a trace of her consciousness had descended. If they were face to face, he would probably die with just a raise of her hand.

“A chip…” Wang Ye looked around and his thoughts moved.

Could it be that the chip that he had given to Ming Zhu?

“This mechanical space is very unique. There is an ancient phantom of a mechanical pet,” Xia Wange said in a low voice, “It has the style of the first generation mechanical intelligent pets from Xionggang. I wonder how you were lured here…”

Wang Ye frowned slightly and looked into the distance.

Ming Zhu asked him to come here. Was there something she didn’t say?

Also, what was the secret hidden in the chip he got from the way of the sword exchange meet?

“Chirp, chirp!” At this moment, Xiao Jiu burped as if it was full and chirped a few times. It immediately flew to Wang Ye’s side and flapped its wings. With that, a chip fell from its feathers onto Wang Ye’s shoulder.

“Huh?” Wang Ye was stunned. He turned his head to look at Xiao Jiu as if asking, “Why is it with you?”

Xiao Jiu tilted its head. Its eyes rolled as it flapped its wings a few times. It meant that the chip had been where Ming Zhu had disappeared at the place the fight had happened just now.

Wang Ye held the chip in his hand while remaining stoic.

At the same time, Chen He and Xia Wange gently cut through the air.

“Let’s go. This place is quite strange. We shouldn’t stay here for too long.”

Wang Ye brought his pets and pondered for a few seconds before following them out.

Outside was still Dusk Ridge.

At this time, the battle had already ended.

In the air, the divine sword was still shining brightly. Opposite it, Ji Wuming’s white hair was fluttering in the wind. There weren’t many wounds on his body, but his aura was rather chaotic.

On the other side, Lin Rou alone wasn’t a match for Long Wu’s team. As the fight went on, they eventually stopped.

Especially after seeing Wang Ye disappear, Long Wu no longer had the mood to fight.

“Hmph, so many years have passed, but your strength hasn’t improved much,” The divine sword pointed at Ji Wuming and said in a cold voice, “Even if you continue fighting, you won’t be a match for me.”

It knew that after Wang Ye’s nonsensical words, Ji Wuming had been absent-minded. He didn’t have any pets either. With his talent, he was no match for it.

“Cut the crap!” Ji Wuming said in a deep voice, “You have a demonic nature in you. Even if I die, I won’t let you go. Besides, you won’t be able to escape. I’m not the only one in the Qixing Investigation Corps.”

“Goodbye!” The divine sword sneered.

It stayed to stall for Wang Ye. Now that Wang Ye had already left and it had enjoyed its fight, it was time to leave. Even if it really wanted to kill the other party, it would exhaust too much of its energy.

It would first go to the agreed place and give the matter further thought and discuss it later with Wang Ye.
