346: Old Days bishop, traitor
Unfortunately, the ancient world was a mature world after all. It wasn't like the Blue Star, which was undergoing a revival. Many creatures had encountered a good era, and with the generosity of the Blue Star's ancient will, many could traverse in just a few decades a path that creatures from other worlds would take hundreds or thousands of years to complete.
Otherwise, the Great Emperor Moth would have reached level seven by now; breaking through to level seven was just a bit too difficult.
level seven was a natural chasm. Even in the most glorious era of Sophia's world, level seven represented the ability to stand on par with true gods.
And now, as a half-level seven, saying the Great Emperor Moth could sweep across the Blue Star might be an exaggeration—after all, ancient secrets might still exist in certain places—but it was definitely at the very peak of combat power.
With a wingspan of over a hundred meters, the Great Emperor Moth tore through the clouds, making a thousand miles seem like a stone's throw away.
At this time, the Blue Star had not yet expanded to the exaggerated area it had a hundred years ago.
Tang Ping stood atop the Great Emperor Moth's head, with Shang Wan standing beside him. As a veteran figure of the Tianfu Safe Zone, she naturally knew of the Great Emperor Moth.
But now, it felt somewhat unfamiliar.
"Is this... the Great Emperor Moth?"
So strong. Her Little Peanut, with its body size of dozens of meters, was like a silkworm in the hands of the Great Emperor Moth.
"Of course it's the Great Emperor Moth. Otherwise, could I have raised a second one?"
"I didn't expect the Great Emperor Moth to be so powerful now. Could it already be level six?"
"Just about."
A half-level seven was considered within the range of level six.
Unfortunately, there weren't enough opportunities in the ancient era for the Great Emperor Moth to undergo another transformation.
With the Great Emperor Moth, their speed was naturally very fast, crossing a distance of over two thousand kilometers in half an hour.
"I'll go kill that branch bishop of the Old Days Society first. You go find that old man."
An image formed by spiritual power appeared before them, which Tang Ping had obtained from the memory of that Lord in White.
"It's him!" Shang Wan's expression immediately turned sour.
"I only know that this old man is currently serving as the logistics director of the small secret realm. Why, does he have another identity?"
When Tang Ping left, he didn't know the Tianfu Safe Zone had such a person.
"This is Chief Steward Zhang's second great-uncle, the brother of Old Madam Zhang. He fled here from the city at the end of the second year of the apocalypse. Later, he was given a leisurely post in the Tianfu Safe Zone, managing the output of a thousand-meter small secret realm. But somehow, he later awakened a decent A-Rank Talent! He even obtained a pet with extraordinary potential, and his management skills mysteriously became quite elegant. He eventually worked his way up to the position of logistics director for all the small secret realms."
"Looking at it now, these weren't coincidences. He likely got in touch with the Old Days Society early on."
Shang Wan snorted coldly: "The Old Days Society really went all out. That man's talent is a top-tier A-Rank Talent, and his pet has half-S-rank potential. Later, Chief Steward Zhang took a strange treasure from his private storehouse to let it complete a transformation. Ordinary Calamity Beasts are no match for that pet of his!"
"Hmm, it seems the Old Days Society went to great lengths to infiltrate the Tianfu Safe Zone. I'm afraid quite a lot of the small secret realm's output has leaked out over the past two years."
Shang Wan's face darkened: "Should I take action directly and capture him first?"
"No need, leave it to me. We don't want to alert the enemy and let him escape. When I strike later, even if the person behind the Old Days Society shows up, they won't be able to take him from my hands."
"I'll also search him to see if I can get more useful information from his memory."
"The things of my Tianfu Safe Zone aren't so easy to take."
Tianfu Safe Zone, a certain building in the city area
As one of the world's ten safest places, the Tianfu Safe Zone still retained a considerable amount of technology; skyscrapers were not uncommon.
In some aspects, such as genetic technology, the Tianfu Safe Zone had made astonishing progress; the Genetic Enhancement Serum was the best proof.
The Tianfu Safe Zone didn't just house its own forces; many powerful Safe Zones had their own buildings here.
For example, top-tier Safe Zones like Star Glory, Qingtian, Cloud Dream, Vast Sea, and Xinghuo even had Level Five Experts stationed here. Although most of their talents were A-rank or B-rank, they were already powerful enough.
As for other weaker Safe Zones, they also had Fourth-Level Talent Users here.
Every month, countless amounts of grain would be transported to various places through these Safe Zone stations as hubs, which were then exchanged for various materials and Pollution Beast corpses for the Tianfu Safe Zone.
Changping Building, a thirteen-story building. This building was the station for an ordinary Safe Zone, the Changping Safe Zone.
The leader of the Changping Safe Zone was only a relatively ordinary Level Five Talent User with an unremarkable A-Rank Talent, and the station only had one Fourth-Level Talent User, so it didn't usually attract much attention.
On the surface, that Fourth-Level Talent User was the top leader of the Changping Building. In reality, no one knew that an S-rank Level Five existence was hidden here.
"Bishop, these are the immortal grass treasures for this month, seventy-eight in total."
An old man flatteringly handed over a storage ring.
This old man was Zhang Xile's biological second great-uncle.
"Why is it less again this month?"
The man wearing a gray faceless mask spoke in a flat voice.
"Lord Bishop, it's not that I didn't want to get more, but Wu Weiwei's brother has been looking everywhere for suitable immortal grass treasures to refine some kind of Gu insects recently. It wasn't easy for me to act under his nose."
"Wu Weiwei."
The man in the gray mask narrowed his eyes and looked at the back of his left hand. Although he was wearing gloves, he could still see the hideous protrusion. He had a deep impression of this Witch of Ten Thousand Gu.
And as her brother, he naturally knew about him too—an A-rank Talent Holder who also possessed an ancient inheritance.
"This Tianfu Safe Zone is truly a tough nut to crack."
"No matter how tough it is, it's just a bone. No matter how strong the Tianfu Safe Zone is, haven't they still failed to discover you, my Lord?" Second Master Zhang flattered with a fawning smile.
"Heh."
The man in the gray mask didn't say much more. He knew the strength of the Tianfu Safe Zone all too well. Although it couldn't be compared to the Old Days Society, it was at least an existence on the same level.
"Leave. But next time, restore it to a hundred stalks. The Old Days Society is not a place where mediocrity can enter."
"Yes, yes, this old servant understands." Second Master Zhang sighed inwardly; it seemed he would have to use his private storehouse to make up the difference again.
That Wu Mingming was no pushover.
His sister would even come over from time to time to guide him in refining Gu; his heart would race with fear.
He now could only pray that the other party would leave quickly.
"Oh, since you're already here, why leave so soon?"
"There's exactly three of us. How about a game of Fight the Landlord before you go?"
