Chapter 830: Meeting with Chancellor Cao and Senior Zhu
Chapter 830: Meeting with Chancellor Cao and Senior Zhu
At the moment, within the Makaton Palace, Senior Zhu was deeply engrossed in the intelligence gathered by the "Tiyi" organization.
"There's no 'Spirit Concealment Stone'? How is that possible?" he frowned deeply, reading the intelligence report.
The investigation into the matter started over a month ago, when he met Zhong Feng and discussed the events on Blue Star.
During their conversation, one particular item caught his attention: the "Spirit Concealment Stone."
Before the "Gravitational Funnel" incident, the base camp of the cultivators at Yunlu Mountain had been attacked twice.
Ordinary people controlled by the Skrell had infiltrated the base camp with "Spirit Concealment Stones," causing significant casualties.
Upon hearing this, the "Spirit Concealment Stone" immediately caught Senior Zhu's attention.
On Blue Star, the "Spirit Concealment Stones" had been destroyed by the First Emperor when he unified the nation during the Qin Dynasty. However, on Skrell, these stones still existed!
The Skrell's innate abilities made them exceptionally skilled at disguise.
Once the war began, if the Skrell used their innate abilities in conjunction with "Spirit Concealment Stones," they could easily infiltrate Blue Star's defenses and cause great harm.
Since he realized this, he knew he could not ignore the matter.
So, over the past month, Senior Zhu had the "Tiyi" organization conduct a thorough investigation into the "Spirit Concealment Stones," aiming to uncover all the crucial details: their quantity, mining locations, and which major forces controlled them.
Today, the results of the Tiyi's investigation came revealed.
However, the conclusion was completely unexpected.
The investigation revealed that there was nothing on Skrell that resembled the "Spirit Concealment Stones," and no historical records mentioned anything related.
Seeing this, a series of questions appeared on Senior Zhu's forehead.
How could this be? How could there be no similar stones on Skrell? Where did the Skrell people get their "Spirit Concealment Stones" from?
He sat on the dragon throne, resting his chin on his hand, deep in thought.
Just then, as he was about to summon the report, a light suddenly came on, signaling the entrance to the cave, a red glow lit up, indicating the presence of Zhong Feng.
Realizing the light, Senior Zhu immediately knew clear — it's Zhong Feng! He temporarily put aside his work and stood up, heading towards the cave.
He was about to hand over the "Moonlight Positioning Stone" to Zhong Feng, and also inform him about the "Spirit Concealment Stones."
Moreover, he was going to praise Zhong Feng for a job well done job, as he had been closely following the dragon clan's affairs, and Zhong Feng had done an excellent job in luring the dragons to attack the Holy City of the Sun.
However, as they approached into the cave entrance, he suddenly felt something was off.
Senior Zhu stood at the cave entrance, using his thick power to sense the situation inside.
The last time Zhong Feng came to the cave, he released his aura, and immediately sensed the situation inside.
But this time, he did only sensed Zhong Feng's presence. Was someone else hiding their aura?
"Could it be someone else? And that person is concealing their presence?
Senior Zhu stood at the cave entrance, cautiously asking, "Zhong Feng, are you there?"
From inside came a rough voice replied, "Haha, Senior Zhu, Zhong Feng isn't here. He asked me to come this time, he had to ensure that Zhong Feng was the one who could control his presence. He had't been able to to"Senior Zhu, Zhong Feng is not here, he's in the cave, and the other person is concealing their presence.
Zhong Feng, are you there?"
"Inside, Zhong Feng's presence was calm and strong, but he could sense that something was off.
He stood at the cave entrance, using his thick power to scan the situation inside.
The last time Zhong Feng had't presence was calm and strong, but he could sense that something was off.
"Who is it? How could this be? How could there be no presence similar to the "Spirit Concealment Stones" on Skrell? Where did the Skrell people get their "Spirit Concealment Stones" from?
He stood on the dragon throne, resting his chin on his hand, deep in thought.
Just then, as he was about to speak Feng's presence is calm and strong, but he could sense that something was off.

Just then, as he was about to summon the other, a light suddenly flashed up, indicating the presence of Zhong Feng.
Realizing the light, Senior Zhu immediately understood — it's Zhong Feng! He temporarily put aside his work and stood up, heading towards the cave.
He was going to hand over the "Moonlight Positioning Stone" to Zhong Feng, and also tell him about the "Spirit Concealment Stones."
Moreover, he was going to praise Zhong Feng for a job well done job, as he had been closely following the dragon clan's affairs, and Zhong Feng had done an excellent job in luring the attackers to assault the Holy City of the Sun.
Upon hearing the voice, Senior Zhu was taken aback. "You are... Daoist Cao!"
He darted into the cave and indeed saw Chancellor Cao seated on a stone bench inside.
Chancellor Cao stroked his beard and stood up, saying, "It’s me. I got your contact information from Little Zhong, so I came to visit."
"Goodness, I didn’t expect you to come... I heard about you obtaining the hilt of the Sword of Ten Thousand Admonitions. It shocked the entire world!"
"You’re not too bad either! Gaining control over such a vast kingdom and already recovering your ability to merge... To be honest, my main body is still at the peak of the Spirit Separation stage!"
Senior Zhu and Chancellor Cao approached each other, chatting warmly.
Chancellor Cao and Senior Zhu had always been on good terms. Before the Skrull invasion was publicly known, they were among the first cultivators to decide to emerge and fight against the alien invasion.
They were also the ones who reached out to other cultivators, such as Emperor Liu Che, Emperor Taizong, and even Western powerhouses like King Arthur and Jun Shiyi, persuading them to come out of seclusion.
Moreover, they lived very close to each other. Chancellor Cao resided above Su Yu, while Senior Zhu lived below him. After a long period of collaboration, they had become close friends.
So, when they met again, they chatted with great enthusiasm.
...
After half an hour of catching up, their conversation finally came to a close.
Chancellor Cao finally said with a tinge of regret, "Senior Zhu, I actually wish we could keep chatting. There’s still so much we haven’t discussed. However, the space tunnel to Blue Star is about to close, and I must return now."
"We can continue next time," Senior Zhu replied, looking disappointed.
He took out a small Kunlun Bag from his storage equipment and handed it to Chancellor Cao. "Daoist Cao, this bag contains 50 Moonlight Positioning Stones. When you teleport over next time, just hold one of these stones, and you’ll be transported directly to this underground cave, avoiding the risk of being sent to some dangerous place on Skrull."
"Really? What a wonderful thing!" Chancellor Cao’s eyes lit up.
Zhong Feng had only mentioned in his message that the Moonlight Positioning Stones were important to humans, without explaining their specific function.
He hadn’t expected them to be so effective!
With these stones, they wouldn’t have to worry about being teleported directly into the enemy’s lair, like what happened to Thousand Cups Unintoxicated.
"However, Senior Zhu," Chancellor Cao’s tone turned serious, "you must also be careful about keeping things confidential! If all of our people teleport to your location and leave through the Makaton Kingdom, it could attract the Skrulls’ attention.
We can’t risk exposing your identity; that would be too costly."
"Don’t worry, I’ll be cautious," Senior Zhu replied earnestly.
"Oh, and there’s one more thing," Senior Zhu continued. "It’s about the Spirit Concealing Stones..."
Taking this opportunity, Senior Zhu informed Chancellor Cao about the Spirit Concealing Stones.
He concluded, "Once you return, it would be best to inform the other cultivators about the Spirit Concealing Stones. I have a feeling something is off about this.
Of course, I’ll continue to gather information on this matter. If I find anything significant, I’ll let you know next time."
"Alright, then I’ll head back now."
"Goodbye."
