Chapter 764: Silk Pouch

"Director, isn't this a bit too tense?" An armed man beside him asked in confusion, "We’re flying in the sky, we’re already very far from the train, and we’re still moving... Can he really hurt us?"

"Better safe than sorry! Better safe than sorry! Do you understand? If it weren't for my caution, do you think I could have made it this far?"

"...Yes."

Director Zheng watched the train gradually moving away, and his tense heart finally eased a little. Just then, he seemed to remember something:

"Didn't the Master give me three silk pouches in total? The first was to predict Lu Xun’s movement trajectory, the second was for us to open when we encountered a crisis... Quick, give me the second pouch now!"

"Director, here is the pouch."

"By the way, Director, didn't the Master tell you when to use this third pouch?"

"He didn't... After he threw out the third pouch, he didn't say a single word... He didn't respond when I spoke to him, so I don't know when to open it."

"...Whatever, let’s open the second one first."

The Director took the pouch and tore it open forcefully. A slip of paper fell out.

The Director looked at the train outside the window while hurriedly opening it. Four large characters appeared before his eyes:

—[Certain Death].

Director Zheng: ???

……

Meanwhile, inside the train.

Chen Ling slowly closed his eyes, and his consciousness, through the communication signals flowing around him, instantly locked onto the helicopter flying in the darkness in the distance!

He pressed one hand onto the floor of the carriage. The next moment, wisps of electric light began to crawl between his palms!

"[Reshape]."

A slender spear over two meters long was reshaped from the electric light. Chen Ling gripped it tightly in his palm. At the same time, those eyes capable of capturing every detail had already locked onto the helicopter, which looked like a mosquito in the distance!

In Lu Xun’s incredulous gaze, Chen Ling used all his strength to throw the spear like a cannonball!!

Whoosh—!!!

A bolt of lightning instantly tore through the sky!

Inside the cabin, Director Zheng stared blankly at the words [Certain Death]. Before he could make a move, a black shadow wreathed in lightning rapidly magnified in his eyes!

Boom—!!

The spear accurately crossed a distance of several kilometers and crashed directly into the propeller. Intense firelight instantly engulfed the fuselage, and it plummeted toward the wilderness below, wobbling!

A deafening roar came from the distance, and rolling dust flew into the air.

Only then did the broken train carriage slowly brake on the tracks...

Lu Xun stared blankly at the corpses all over the floor and the smoking wreckage of the plane in the distance, his heart filled with shock... He knew Chen Ling wasn't an ordinary person and that his strength might be great, but he hadn't expected him to wipe out Director Zheng’s entire team all by himself!

The "mountain" that had imprisoned him for so long and caused him such anxiety had collapsed with Chen Ling’s casual strike... All that remained was a mess.

"Director Chen... thank you." Lu Xun looked deeply at the figure in the brown coat and said sincerely.

"No need to thank me. I will be asking for payment."

As Chen Ling said this, he casually pulled out his gun and aimed it at the half-dead photographer on the floor, pulling the trigger expressionlessly.

Bang!!

A gunshot rang out.

Scarlet blood splattered onto Chen Ling’s cheek. He wiped it off casually and, without even looking at the photographer on the floor, walked straight toward the wreckage of the plane.

"Let’s go... let’s see if there are any survivors."

Chen Ling’s ruthlessness and decisiveness in killing shocked Lu Xun to the core. He hadn't expected that in this society, someone could actually kill so calmly... Everyone who harbored murderous intent toward him didn't survive.

But surprised as he was, Lu Xun followed Chen Ling out of the carriage toward the cabin, and Yang Xiao, who had parked the car in the distance, quickly followed.

The three crossed several kilometers of wilderness and finally arrived in front of the smoking wreckage.

The helicopter was now unrecognizable from the fire. Two or three corpses were strewn about, and several survivors covered in wounds were struggling to crawl on the ground, having likely survived the landing and escaped the burning cabin in time.

Chen Ling’s gaze swept over those figures, and he raised his muzzle again...

Bang bang bang—!

The gunshots rang out in succession, and several armed men were shot in the head and died on the spot. Finally, only one figure, gasping for breath, was left, curled up in the wilderness in terror.

"Director Zheng..." Lu Xun’s gaze turned cold when he saw the man.

Chen Ling walked up, kicked the curled-up Director Zheng aside, pressed the muzzle against his forehead, and said calmly:

"I’ll only ask you one question... How did you predict Dr. Lu’s location?"

Since Chen Ling had stepped in to save Lu Xun, he naturally had to see it through to the end. Director Zheng had been able to predict Lu Xun’s location in advance, but this time, he hadn't seen any God-Path user with a similar ability, which meant there was someone else behind him... If that were the case, even if he killed Director Zheng, he couldn't guarantee that Lu Xun wouldn't be tracked further.

Chen Ling knew very well that one must pull up the weeds by the roots.

"Spare... spare me!! Please!! I beg you! I promise I won't ever..."

Bang—!

The roaring gunshot rang out right next to Director Zheng’s ear, leaving it bleeding profusely, and his miserable pleas were cut short by terror!

Chen Ling held the gun, the muzzle slowly moving from his ear back to his forehead, and spoke again,

"Answer my question."

"It’s, it’s Master Chonggui! He possesses the power of the Path of the Divination God! He is a high-ranking 'White Hand'! He is also a key target of Bureau 749!"

Director Zheng was already a coward, and being scared like this by Chen Ling, he lost his soul completely, trembling as he spilled everything.

Path of the Divination God...

Chen Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This result was about what Chen Ling had expected, but in the era after the Great Catastrophe, he had never seen anyone from the Path of the Divination God appear... This was his first time dealing with this Path.

"What else did he tell you?"

"Nothing else... He just gave me three silk pouches..."

"Silk pouches? Where are they?"

"The first two were burned... I, I only have the last one left. He didn't say when to open it..."

Chen Ling saw the third pouch in Director Zheng’s arms out of the corner of his eye, took it directly, and opened it bit by bit under the hazy moonlight...

Inside the pouch was a slip of paper.

On the slip were two lines of blood-stained characters. The handwriting was chaotic and hideous, as if someone had gone mad, bitten their finger, and written two lines of wild cursive on the paper!

[Ghost Mockery destroys the world, descending upon the human realm]

[The era is in chaos, heaven and earth shall purge together]
