Chapter 890: The Mysterious Figure
Chapter 890: The Mysterious Figure
Su Yu was quite familiar with the nation of Becker.
If there was anyone in Becker worth meeting besides Cindy Doppler, it would undoubtedly be the sole god-tier powerhouse—Cecilia.
However, Su Yu had no intention of meeting her.
The reason was simple: it was too dangerous!
Cecilia, after all, was a god-tier powerhouse, with strength at least three times greater than his own.
If she were to suddenly turn hostile during their meeting and alert Plant, who could teleport using spatial travel, Su Yu and the four elders would have no chance of escape.
For his own safety, Su Yu was unwilling to meet Cecilia.
If they had to meet, either Chancellor Cao should go, or Su Yu would wait until he advanced to the Eighth Stage.
In any case, he wasn't willing to take the risk this time.
...
However, to his surprise, Cindy Doppler immediately shook his head, "No, you've misunderstood. It's not Lady Cecilia.
Twenty days ago, Lady Cecilia was severely injured by Sir Cao. Since then, she has been recuperating in the Holy Land, staying in seclusion.
To be honest, I can't even contact her now, let alone arrange a meeting for you."
Emperor Liu Che nodded, "That's right. Daoist Cao did tell us about injuring Cecilia at the 'Final Secret Realm' entrance. You must have forgotten, Su Yu?"
"Alright, I admit I overlooked that," Su Yu conceded.
But his curiosity flared up again as he stared at Cindy Doppler, "Then who do you want us to meet?"
However, Cindy Doppler decided to keep them guessing.
He stood up and said mysteriously, "Why don't you all come with me? Once we get there, you'll know who it is, and I guarantee it will be a pleasant surprise!"
Hearing Cindy Doppler's words, Su Yu and the four elders exchanged glances.
Seeing that the four elders generally agreed with Cindy Doppler's suggestion, Su Yu nodded, "Alright, we'll go."
...
Under Cindy Doppler's arrangement, the six of them boarded a spacious floating vehicle and set off from Doppler's residence, heading out of the city.
On the floating vehicle, the five Blue Star cultivators enjoyed the scenery outside the window while chatting with Cindy Doppler.
They exchanged information about their respective worlds, discussing the current development and challenges faced by their allies.
During the journey, Su Yu tried multiple times to coax Cindy Doppler into revealing their destination, but he remained tight-lipped, never disclosing the crucial information.
...
Half an hour later, the floating vehicle passed through the bustling urban and suburban areas of Becker City, entering a nature reserve located in the western suburbs.
The reserve had no Skrull residents, only forests and hills.
The environment was pitch black, with no roads in sight.
Their floating vehicle, under AI autopilot, rose to a height of 20 meters above the ground.
The vehicle glided over the treetops, heading deeper into the heart of the nature reserve.
...
Seeing this, Su Yu joked, "Doppler, you're not planning to dump us in the middle of the forest to feed the beasts, are you?"
"Of course not," Cindy Doppler laughed. "There are G2 surveillance cameras all over Becker City, a historical issue that has been bothering us for a long time.
Recently, I met an important figure who absolutely cannot be exposed to G2's surveillance.
To ensure his safety, I have him hidden deep in this nature reserve for recuperation.
This nature reserve has no cameras, and even G2's spy satellites can't detect what's happening here. It's arguably the safest place in the entire Baker City."
"Is that so?" Su Yu's face showed a thoughtful expression.
He suddenly remembered that he would need to help the four seniors establish a base behind enemy lines in the future. Since this nature reserve was the safest place, why not suggest that the seniors establish their base here? At the very least, their safety would be guaranteed.
Su Yu was about to bring up this idea for discussion. However, before he could speak, Cindy Doppier said, "Everyone, we're here!"
The five of them turned to look through the windshield and saw a small hill in front of them. At the foot of the hill was a cave, with two torches hanging at the entrance. The torches had just gone out, emitting a faint red glow.
Clearly, the person Cindy Doppier wanted them to meet lived in this cave.
...
The luxurious hovercar slowly descended at the cave's entrance. However, even before the hovercar landed, Su Yu and the other four seniors had already projected their mental energy to investigate the situation inside the cave.
But they failed.
There was clearly a powerful barrier inside the cave, isolating the inside from the outside. Their mental energy couldn't penetrate this barrier.
After roughly gauging the strength of the barrier, Emperor Liu Che was the first to make a conclusion: "Hmm... This barrier was set up by a Seventh-Rank cultivator. It seems the person inside must be a cultivator of at least Seventh Rank."
Su Yu nodded in agreement and then looked at Cindy Doppier, wanting to say, "We're here now, shouldn't you tell us the name of the person we're meeting?"
But before Su Yu could speak, he suddenly felt a mental energy probing out from the barrier.
It seemed the person inside had sensed the arrival of several peers and used their mental energy to investigate their identities.
Su Yu's mental energy made contact with this probing energy and immediately recognized it as very familiar.
He had... no, he definitely encountered this mental energy somewhere before!
Su Yu used his mental energy to make contact with the probing energy again.
On the second try, he clearly identified the owner of this mental energy. It was someone he knew well!
"Hayden Solar? Is it really you, Hayden Solar? You're still alive?" Su Yu exclaimed in shock.
After two contacts, Su Yu was certain that this mental energy belonged to Hayden Solar, no doubt about it! Hayden Solar had been captured by the humans of Blue Star and Su Yu had interacted with him several times in the prisoner-of-war camp, so he recognized him quickly.
Hearing Su Yu's voice, Emperor Liu Che and the other three seniors were also greatly surprised.
They never expected Cindy Doppier to bring them to meet Hayden Solar!
But the question was, wasn't Hayden Solar executed by Emperor Solar Manina? His entire family, hundreds of people, had been put to death.
Not long ago, the biggest news on Skulru was that Emperor Solar Manina personally brought Hayden Solar's head to Dragon Island to atone.
No one could have imagined that Hayden Solar was still alive, and that he had come to Baker Country and was hiding on Cindy Doppier's territory?
"This..." Su Yu opened his mouth but couldn't find the words.
After several seconds of silence, he patted Cindy Doppier's shoulder and sighed, "Doppier, you've really given us a big surprise!"
