Chapter 246: The Completely Torn Seal
Chapter 246: The Completely Torn Seal
Qin Muye thought it was the divine soldiers descending, but he found that they were all wiped out.
The ancient shadow beast wobbled and steadied itself, then casually slapped its hand, producing a slapping sound, much like swatting a fly.
"Zongsi, the divine soldiers you mentioned seem to have been swatted to death," Qin Muye said.
Zongsi also swallowed hard, not expecting the situation to develop beyond his expectations.
Seeing this, he could only step on the gas pedal, and the high-end car of an unknown brand shot forward.
Just a moment ago, he was acting selflessly, but now he was running as fast as he could.
The other party was also secretly lamenting, who knew this thing would be so fierce.
Those several streaks of light were all reinforcements sent by the Bureau, each with considerable strength, but they were all eliminated in a single moment.
So he was afraid, and fear naturally led to running.
With the strength of this ancient shadow beast, it would probably require the top combatants of the Shadow Management Bureau to handle it.
However, these top combatants were all stationed in various places, and it would take at least half an hour to mobilize them.
Half an hour was enough for him to travel from the entrance to the exit, so he had no choice but to flee hastily.
He hoped the special aircraft was still waiting, and that the few colleagues from the Bureau who came to rescue them could hold on a bit longer, at least to give this ancient shadow beast a couple more bites to chew on.
Qin Muye noticed the sweat on Zongsi's forehead, indicating how tense the driving was.
"Hey, Zongsi, I was just wondering, if there are no more shadows in this city, will this shadow beast return to the Shadow Realm on its own?" Qin Muye asked curiously.
"No, it will just move on to the surrounding cities."
"And I suspect that the entrance to the Shadow Realm has been completely torn apart due to the emergence of this ancient shadow beast. Now, it's not just this one, but a large number of shadow beasts and dead shadows have also escaped."
Zongsi's expression was grim. He knew he couldn't escape the blame this time. The incident was too big, too big for even the Shadow Management Bureau to cover up.
The escape of a large number of shadow beasts and dead shadows meant that the supernatural system of shadows could no longer remain hidden.
The Shadow Management Bureau was well aware of the dangers of a large number of supernatural beings emerging. Apart from causing social instability, it would also create intelligent beings like dead shadows.
Not everyone who became a shadow would be willing to abide by the rules; more often, they would be like the Black Eagle group, only thinking of wealth and glory rather than maintaining order.
After this exposure, shadows would inevitably come to the forefront. Previously, the Shadow Management Bureau could suppress them, but after this, even if they wanted to, it would be difficult.
For some unknown reason, the normal order of society was shifting towards a supernatural-dominated one.
But that wasn't the main point. The main point was that Qin Muye suspected that this entrance to the Shadow Realm could no longer be sealed, as this ancient shadow beast was indeed too powerful.
Qin Muye glanced at the places the ancient shadow beast had walked, where large amounts of shadow were continuously spreading, and the original colors were being blackened.
This indicated that the area had been assimilated by the Shadow Realm.
'The Great Impact of Heaven and Earth?'
'No, not that, the Great Impact of Heaven and Earth.'
Qin Muye immediately dismissed the thought because his mission had not failed.
Firstly, his mission was to prevent this. If the Shadow Realm's erosion of the human world was the Great Impact of Heaven and Earth, his main mission would have failed by now, but it hadn't, which was enough to prove he was wrong.
This was just a normal disaster.
"Professor Li, what are you thinking about?" Zongsi asked.
"Nothing much, just thinking about how to effectively eliminate this ancient shadow beast," Qin Muye casually replied with a pretext.
Hearing this, Zongsi couldn't help but smile: "This isn't something we should be worrying about; it's something the Bureau should handle."
He knew that when the sky falls, there's always someone taller to hold it up, and he wasn't the tallest one.
This time, he might be able to save his life, but his career was definitely over.
The car sped along, fortunately, the local Shadow Management Bureau's headquarters was not in the city center but in the suburbs, so they didn't encounter any major traffic jams. A wide road led straight to the airport.
The ancient shadow beast was also attracted by the idle shadows in the city, so it didn't consider them two pieces of meat worth its attention.
As for the shadow agents in the Shadow Management Bureau, most of them had been dispatched to oversee the sealing of the Shadow Realm, so they were the first to die.
This left the bureau with very few people. The Shadow Management Bureau was indeed a major force, but that didn't mean that their city-level branch had a large number of shadow agents. In total, there were only about fifty, divided into five small teams.
However, as an official organization, they had the entire country's resources at their disposal. Although they only numbered around fifty, their actual combat strength far surpassed that of scattered or illegal shadow organizations. They might not be able to fight ten at once, but handling two was quite easy.
"Killing it isn't impossible; Yishan Jun could do it," Qin Muye said.
Upon hearing this, Zongsi didn't think too much. He knew that Qin Muye was referring to Yishan Jun, not the Yishan Army.
It was said that Yishan Jun was the founder of the Yishan Army and was once the most powerful shadow agent in the world.
"Yishan Jun might not be a specific person or a commander, but rather a powerful weapon."
"Shadow beasts were once called Yin beasts, and ancient shadow beasts were called ferocious beasts. There is a local historical document that records Yishan Jun using a divine weapon to exterminate a ferocious beast."
Qin Muye didn't care about the other party's situation and continued, "Do you have any leads?"
Zongsi didn't have much hope. "Do you have any clues?"
"Actually, I do, but are you willing to take the risk?" Qin Muye said with a teasing tone.
Indeed, even if there were clues, the other party wouldn't dare to take the risk. The reason was simple: success might mean a rapid promotion, but failure could mean death.
Time was life, especially when they were trying to escape.
"Where is it roughly located?" Zongsi gritted his teeth and asked, deciding to ask for the location first. If it delayed his escape, he wouldn't go.
"Huangyuan Mountain, know it?" Qin Muye said.
Zongsi looked up at the mountain about a hundred kilometers to the right, calculating in his mind, "I know it, but why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Oh, do you believe me?" Qin Muye countered.
"No."
"That's right. If you don't believe me, why should I believe you?"
"So, how confident are you?" Zongsi asked.
If they really took a detour, they would definitely miss their chance to leave, and they would be truly on the run.
However, he didn't think Qin Muye would risk his own life.
"About ten percent," Qin Muye said slowly.
Zongsi's pupils constricted. After some thought, he said, "If we win, we'll soar to the top; if we lose, we'll start over."
With that, the car turned right, heading directly toward Huangyuan Mountain.
Qin Muye hadn't expected him to be so decisive. He thought Zongsi wouldn't take the risk.
"Alright, now there's a thirty percent chance," Qin Muye said.
"???" Zongsi was flabbergasted. How did the odds just increase?
It wasn't that the odds increased, but the Gospel Gargoyle had found the entrance, indicating that there was indeed a Yishan relic from the past.
From the current situation, it seemed that when the Yishan Army entered the Shadow Realm to suppress the dead shadows, there was more to it than what was recorded in various documents.
Huangyuan Mountain's location was quite strategic. If a long-range weapon were placed there, it could indeed directly hit the seal of the Shadow Realm. This was why Qin Muye had this hypothesis.
Zongsi drove the car at high speed, not caring if his beloved car was scratched. If it were any other time, he would have been heartbroken, but now, with his life on the line, he had no time to worry about his car.
If this mission succeeded, he would get a new car. If it failed, this car would be buried with them, serving as a sort of consolation.
At the foot of Huangyuan Mountain, the road was extremely rugged.
"How do we proceed?" Zongsi asked.
"This way!" Qin Muye examined the mountain and pointed in a direction.
Zongsi's shadow rippled, and a giant wolf emerged, colliding with him to form a shadow suit. He then grabbed Qin Muye and dashed in the direction he pointed.
In terms of speed, it was quite impressive, even faster than the Black Eagle using its wings. This was the result of cultivation.
The Black Eagle had a tough life, while Zongsi had the resources to support him. The lack of resources was only relative; compared to illegal organizations and scattered shadow agents, the difference was like night and day.
