344: Mysterious Man in Black

Leven received the information from Thousand Layers Mountain again and couldn't help but frown.

Vice Minister Jason saw this and asked, "What's the situation? Another expert has arrived?"

Leven shook his head and said, "It's not an expert. It's someone from Yuan Ling Universe, and one of them is Titan."

Jason also frowned and said, "Didn't they say this Titan was dead?"

Leven chuckled, "I don't care if he's dead or not. Since they've only just entered the interior of the Cosmic Abyss, then who was the expert that wiped out our checkpoint before?"

Jason then remembered this matter and was also lost in thought.

Leven's deduction was originally very reasonable. In the Cosmic Abyss, the only ones who could do such a thing and were willing to do so were Phantom Poison Universe and Yuan Ling Universe.

Although Silver Sea Universe had always been mediating, talking about neutral principles.

In fact, the high-ranking officials of the three great universes all knew that Silver Sea Universe had many hidden schemes.

It was just that everyone maintained a superficial harmony.

Jason glanced at Leven in front of him, took a quick step, and said, "Minister, this Titan's strength is quite good. If we go up against Huan You of Phantom Poison Universe, he might become a variable."

Leven naturally knew this principle, but he wasn't worried.

"The hatred between Yuan Ling Universe and Phantom Poison Universe is as deep as the sea. There's no need for us to be the first to stick our necks out. Once we reach the destination, we'll act according to the situation."

Leven said leisurely.

Huan You and Huan Xuan arrived at a large camp of the Phantom Poison Clan. The Phantom Poison Clan members in this camp had a minimum cultivation of Great Saint Realm early stage, and there were quite a few Phantom Poison Clan members at Great Saint Peak.

After Huan You entered the camp, the camp leader quickly rushed over. After saluting Huan You, he stood quietly to the side.

Huan You glanced at the camp leader and took a sip of the dark green liquid in the cup he held. There seemed to be small wriggling insects inside.

But after Huan You drank it, he had a look of enjoyment.

After drinking the second sip, Huan You finally asked, "Huan Lin, can I still trust you?"

Huan Lin, at Great Saint Realm Peak (Rank), had sided with the Grand Elder during the competition between Grand Elder Huan You and Phantom Poison King for the throne.

However, as the people around Huan You gradually disappeared or betrayed him, those who truly followed him were already few and far between.

Huan Lin frowned and said in a deep voice, "Grand Elder, you know me, I don't lie. Phantom Poison King did force me to sign some agreements, but there were specific clauses in them that prevented him from forcing me to betray you, which is why I signed them."

Huan You was very satisfied with Huan Lin's answer. He finished the liquid in the cup in one gulp and smiled, "Originally, after I lost the competition, I was prepared to submit to him, but he was uneasy and his methods were too extreme."

Huan Lin was also aware of these matters, so he said, "Grand Elder, things haven't reached that point yet, have they..."

Huan You didn't want to talk more about these things, interrupting Huan Lin and asking on his own, "Was this cosmic core discovered by your subordinates?"

Seeing that the Grand Elder was unwilling to mention anything related to Phantom Poison King again, Huan Lin also shifted the topic, "Yes, it was reported immediately after its discovery. At the same time we discovered it, the people of Silver Sea Universe also learned about the cosmic core. Both sides sent people into that dangerous place, but both returned empty-handed."

Huan You already knew this intelligence. Now he wanted to know something others didn't.

"Huan Lin, did you go in?"

"Grand Elder, I went in."

"Which system does the cosmic core belong to?"

"I don't know, the space inside is extremely hot, like the fire system, but its power is a bit too strong."

"Is it possible that it's the light system?"

Hearing Huan You's question, Huan Lin carefully recalled the previous scene.

The Great Saint Realm experts of Phantom Poison Universe and Silver Sea Universe, when approaching that cosmic core, had their bodies dissolved, leaving no trace.

Upon hearing Huan You's question now, Huan Lin understood the reason. No wonder fire-attribute defensive equipment had no effect at all.

"Grand Elder, now that you mention it, I also think it's a light-attribute cosmic core."

Huan You could tell from Huan Lin's expression that the possibility of it being light-attribute was very high.

Huan You's inner world had already integrated five-element cosmic cores, including a soul-attribute cosmic core, but he lacked the other five systems.

This light-attribute cosmic core, strictly speaking, was exactly what Huan You urgently needed. If he integrated it, his strength should be able to surpass Phantom Poison King.

However, Huan You wasn't sure, because Phantom Poison King's true strength was unfathomable. Apart from the Cosmic Alliance's affirmation of his strength, bestowing him the title of Phantom Poison King, others did not know how powerful Phantom Poison King was.

Even Huan You, who had always opposed him, didn't know, because Phantom Poison King had not yet unleashed his full strength, and Huan You had already been defeated.

After hearing Huan Lin's words, Huan Xuan softly said, "Big Brother, if it's light-attribute, then we..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Huan You already understood, and just casually replied, "We'll see then."

Huan You looked at Huan Lin and said, "There's no time to lose, let's go over first. While the other Saint Kings haven't arrived yet, the early bird catches the worm."

However, Huan Lin showed a hint of embarrassment after hearing Huan You's instruction.

"Grand Elder, this dangerous place is a bit special. We went in together twice, both at a fixed time each month. It seems to open for only three days a month. There are still more than ten days until its next opening."

Huan Lin explained.

Huan You frowned. So, his early arrival was useless.

"Take me to the entrance of that dangerous place to see."

Huan Lin didn't say anything more about this request. He got up and led the two Saint Kings to that dangerous place.

Thousand Layers Mountain, in front of a checkpoint.

A black figure stood outside the checkpoint.

He wore black clothes, with his head and face covered.

The Silver Sea Great Saint on duty asked, "Which universe are you from, what's your name, and what's your cultivation level? You can enter after registering."

The Man in Black heard the Silver Sea Great Saint's question, sneered, and said, "What are you guys?"

His voice was gravelly, making people feel very uncomfortable.

After saying this, the Man in Black exuded his aura and charged directly towards the checkpoint.

The leader, a Great Saint Peak, didn't even have time to say the words "let him pass." Everyone at the entire checkpoint had already been killed, their souls, bodies, and inner worlds turned into dust.

Having done all this, the Man in Black, as if crushing an ant, passed through Thousand Layers Mountain and left freely.

When Leven received this news, he had just arrived at the Silver Sea Clan's camp and was about to inquire about the dangerous place where the cosmic core appeared. Before he could ask, he received this news.

Leven frowned again. In the short time he had been in the Cosmic Abyss, the number of times he had frowned had already caught up to the total of the previous hundred years.
