Chapter 728: Chapter 394 Invincible and Fire Seed of Practice_3

“From now on, just focus on getting stronger, honestly.”

“When the timing is right, I will recommend you to those above.”

At that moment,

the voice of Ash Annihilation came again.

The Heavenly Beings’ King gathered his senses immediately.

“Thank you, sir.”

He bowed his head in respect.

“Mhm, go on.”

The firelight dimmed once more.

The Heavenly Beings’ King stepped back slowly.

Soon,

he had left the vicinity of the Divine Tree.

“What’s the word, boss?”

The tentacle-headed Asgard sidled up to the Heavenly Beings’ King with a wiggle of his brows.

“Did you get another promotion?”

“If it’s a promotion, I beg you, can we please take a break?”

“Look at my tentacles; they’ve aged so much already.”

The typically lax Asgard requested time off for the team from the Heavenly Beings’ King, as he always did.

But to be honest,

he was aware of the burden in the Heavenly Beings’ King’s heart and knew how desperately the other wanted to increase his strength.

He was just blustering, not really expecting the Heavenly Beings’ King to agree to a vacation.

“Sure.”

“Ok, then I’ll go take over—huh?”

The direct affirmation from the Heavenly Beings’ King.

Not just Asgard.

Even the stony-faced Fu Qiu and the rest of the team members cast surprised glances his way.

The Heavenly Beings’ King… was actually going to take a break?

“What the hell happened?”

Fu Qiu inquired with a frown.

He instinctively felt that something significant must have occurred.

But it seemed the Heavenly Beings’ King had no intention of explaining.

“I will request the Commander to allocate a Low Martial Planet under my name.”

“This time, I’m giving you half a month off.”

He simply looked at everyone with a smile.

In his tone,

there was a sense of relief.

At the same time,

above the Black Mist.

The merriment was there as always, reappearing on the day of the gathering.

Joining him was Mystery.

Even though Mystery didn’t have a close relationship with Chen Sheng, he had nearly lost his life to Chen at one point.

But Chen possessed so many unknowns that Mystery was deeply intrigued by him.

Regardless,

he wanted to close the gap between them and thoroughly explore further.

Thus,

when Merriment agreed to help Chen find the spreader of the messages,

Mystery also expressed his eagerness to assist.

And so,

three months before,

the two of them followed the trail that Chen once took, investigating everyone he had come into contact with.

Quickly, they focused their attention on Lu Yang of the Resistance Army.

They pursued the leads,

and soon had a clear understanding of when and to whom Lu Yang had spread the messages, among other information.

With their combined abilities,

it took them only three days.

But they had no intention of stopping there.

During the investigation,

Mystery had delved deep into Lu Yang’s memory.

Although Zuo Wei had tidied up very cleanly, leaving no suspicious traces about himself,

but precisely because of this,

it aroused the suspicions of the Merry duo.

For he had viewed Lu Yang’s memories and realized his personality was cautious, but he was not a timid person.

How could he be so frightened at the idea of Chen still being alive,

that he couldn’t even cultivate properly, or be so exaggerated as to wake up from nightmares every day?

Armed with some doubts,

the duo continued their investigation.

Until today.

“Can you confirm it?”

Merriment, unlike his usual frivolous demeanor, spoke seriously.

Opposite him,

the Black Mist churned slowly, and Mystery gave an affirmative response.

“Not one hundred percent, but essentially, yes.”

“Based on the intel I have at the moment.”

“Of the three leaders of the Resistance Army, there is in fact only one.”

“He has been searching for ways to break through the limits of his power for tens of thousands of years, including research on Practitioners.”

“Combining the above points with the various coincidences we’ve discovered during our investigation, as well as the peculiar details of the stolen Law,”

“I believe, the leak of information must be related to Zuo Wei.”

Is that so…

On the paint-smeared face, thoughts swirled.

“Continue the investigation, but be sure not to startle the snake.”

“When Chen comes out of seclusion,”

“let him decide what to do.”
