343: Levin's inference

Leven had just arrived at the Cosmic Abyss at this moment and received a military intelligence report from Thousand Layers Mountain the moment she entered.

As the head of the combat department, all military affairs within these secret realms fell under her jurisdiction.

Her speed was very fast; by the time she reached the checkpoint where Xun Xiuyuan had passed through Thousand Layers Mountain, Xun Xiuyuan and his group had been gone for less than three days.

All the bodies were still lying in their original positions, without the slightest movement, but the Silver Sea Universe had already arranged for several Great Saint Peak experts to guard them.

When Leven arrived, all the Great Sages knelt on the ground, respectfully welcoming the arrival of Saint King Leven.

Accompanying Leven was another Saint King, the deputy head of the combat department, Jason.

Leven merely glanced at the bodies, then asked, "Are there any other clues?"

One of the Great Saint Peak experts, Bob, spoke up, " 部長, there's this as well."

He then waved his hand, and a scene of Silver Sea warriors dying appeared in the air.

Leven said nothing, watched quietly, and then said, "It should be the work of people from the Yuan Ling Universe. The Soul Secret Skill of the Phantom Poison Universe comes with corrosion, and these deceased individuals show no signs of their souls being corroded."

Her decision was final, without any hesitation.

Bob heard the head's words and was a little puzzled: "To kill a Great Sage with just a Soul Secret Skill, that would require at least the cultivation of a Great Saint Peak, wouldn't it? Among the twelve Great Saint Peak individuals of the Yuan Ling Universe, there doesn't seem to be any expert in soul techniques."

Bob's analysis was very pertinent, and Leven also had some doubts.

However, she knew that if it wasn't someone from the Phantom Poison Universe, then it must be someone from the Yuan Ling Universe. Those lone cultivators from distant universes would never do such a thing.

Because powerful lone cultivators, as long as they displayed their strength, would surely be able to pass through the checkpoint, and the weaker ones would naturally retreat.

Titan and Feng Lin met at the entrance of the Cosmic Abyss.

When Feng Lin saw Titan, he was also surprised: "The person the Sect Master spoke of is you?"

Qing Hui had only told Feng Lin that a Great Saint Realm Peak (Rank) expert from the sect was waiting for him at the entrance of the Cosmic Abyss.

But Feng Lin never dreamed that the person waiting for him would actually be Titan.

Although both were among the twelve Great Saint Peak experts of the Yuan Ling Sect, Feng Lin was very clear that his strength was not on the same level as Titan's at his peak.

Titan also smiled when he saw Feng Lin and said, "Why couldn't it be me?"

Feng Lin knew Titan's injuries very well. After thinking for a while, he said, "Is it Xun Xiuyuan's Law Comprehension Pill? But that's too heaven-defying, and there wasn't enough time, was there?"

Feng Lin knew that even with the Law Comprehension Pill provided by Xun Xiuyuan, Titan's injuries couldn't have recovered so quickly.

There was only one possibility: Titan's accumulation was sufficiently profound. Feng Lin also understood why the Sect Master would have him and Titan jointly carry out this mission.

If, according to the intelligence, the cosmic core that appeared in the Lan Gu Universe, which is the Cosmic Abyss, was fire-attributed, then the most suitable individuals from the Yuan Ling Sect for fire-attributed tasks would naturally be himself and Titan.

Sect Master Qing Hui's intention was for him to make a decision on whether or not to contend for this fire-attributed cosmic core.

Titan did not answer Feng Lin's words, merely saying, "Nangong Feiyun has taken a group of Great Sages to the deepest parts of the Cosmic Abyss. We need to go there as quickly as possible."

Feng Lin nodded, and the two of them rushed together towards the depths of the Cosmic Abyss.

Huan You and Huan Xuan did not bring any subordinates, because the Phantom Poison King's infiltration was ubiquitous. At this time, Huan You didn't even know who he could trust.

As the two approached Thousand Layers Mountain, Huan Xuan spoke: "The Silver Sea Universe has also learned about the cosmic core. I wonder if they will block us at Thousand Layers Mountain?"

Huan You scoffed, "Unless Nuke comes personally, who can stop us?"

Huan You's words were not arrogant; as the First Elder of the Phantom Poison Universe, his strength was unquestionable.

Huan You's analysis was correct; the Silver Sea people at Thousand Layers Mountain merely inquired symbolically before allowing Huan You and Huan Xuan to enter the Cosmic Abyss.

After the two left, the on-duty Silver Sea warrior looked at his leader and asked, puzzled, "Leader, didn't the order say to prevent people from entering the internal areas of the Silver Sea Universe?"

The leader glanced at the Great Saint Realm warrior and smiled, "Those two Illusory Poison people clearly surpassed the Great Saint Realm. Have you ever seen solitary Illusory Poison people? Are we seeking death by blocking them? Orders are rigid; we must be flexible in our response."

At this point, the leader took out a sound-transmitting jade and reported to Leven that Huan You and Huan Xuan had entered the Cosmic Abyss.

Leven was rushing to the birthplace of the cosmic core. After seeing the message, she merely pondered for a moment before continuing on her way.

Jason, the deputy head accompanying her, asked, "What's wrong, 部長?"

Leven glanced at Jason and said, "Two Saint Kings from the Phantom Poison Universe have entered. We don't know who they are yet. According to the description, one of them resembles Huan You."

Jason was the deputy head of the combat department. For this operation, Silver Sea also dispatched two Saint Kings.

Jason was Nuke's confidant, and Leven was very clear about that.

After hearing Leven's words, Jason's expression turned a little ugly as he said, "Huan You, this person's strength is very strong. Do we need to call for support?"

Leven shook her head: "This is just a contest for the cosmic core; there won't be a death match. Our current goal is to confirm the attribute of the cosmic core. If it's a rare attribute, then we'll reconsider."

Jason also felt that Leven's words made a lot of sense. If it was just an ordinary fire-attributed cosmic core, there was indeed no need to exert too much effort.

Ninety percent of cosmic cores with the five elemental attributes are of this type after a cosmic collapse.

The key is that the Cosmic Alliance periodically auctions off some cosmic cores with the five elemental attributes, so for Saint Kings, while five-elemental cosmic cores are precious, there's no need to fight desperately to obtain them.

Titan and Feng Lin's speed was very fast, at least much faster than Xun Xiuyuan and the others. In less than ten days, the two saw the Thousand Layers Mountain barrier in the distance.

The two expertly arrived at a checkpoint, which was precisely the one Huan You and Huan Xuan had passed through.

Titan merely stood in front of the checkpoint, watching, without speaking.

After Feng Lin exchanged a few words with the on-duty Great Sage, the Silver Sea leader came out. The moment he saw Titan, his expression changed.

He then spoke to the duty warrior: "Let them pass!"

The warrior nodded and opened the passage.

Just after Titan and Feng Lin had gone far, the warrior asked again, "Leader, these two are clearly Great Saint Realm, why didn't we stop them?"

The leader lowered his head and said helplessly, "That burly middle-aged man is named Titan. When the Yuan Ling Universe first entered the Cosmic Battlefield, he alone killed fourteen Great Saint Peak experts of the Silver Sea Universe. He fought with brute force, killing our Great Saint Peak experts in our strongest area. In the future, when you see him, just hide. Only a Saint King can defeat this person."

Then the leader took out the sound-transmitting jade again.
