I have no idea what these two are plotting now.

It just so happens that Chen Sheng has some questions about the power of authority that he wants to ask Vermilion Bird.

He unlocked his phone screen and was about to send a message to Vermilion Bird.

But just at that moment.

Chen Sheng’s expression shifted, as if he sensed something.

“It seems like whatever you think of, comes to you.”

In his perception.

A very familiar aura abruptly appeared several kilometers away.

It was Vermilion Bird’s.

“Yo.”

“My little brother Chen!”

“Why don’t you eat your meals properly!”

Shortly thereafter.

A melodramatic and affected voice echoed from the entrance of the cave.

The footsteps slowly approached.

Vermilion Bird, still decked out in his flamboyant attire, appeared in Chen Sheng’s sight.

He scrunched his eyebrows up, feigning a heartbroken expression.

“Don’t force me to get up and slap you.”

Chen Sheng said coldly.

Upon hearing this,

Vermilion Bird’s expression halted.

Despite his cheeky behavior,

The thought of Chen Sheng’s martial abilities still made him a bit apprehensive subconsciously.

After all,

Unlike Sun Yihe, Chen Sheng is not just all talk.

He cleared his throat twice, to cover up his embarrassment.

“You really don’t have a romantic bone in your body.”

That said,

Vermilion Bird sat down on the ground.

He took out several delicious items from his food box.

“I’m on a mission and just thought I’d stop by to see you.”

“By the way, you should not take any rash actions and leave Western China during this time.”

“Why do you say so?”

Chen Sheng turned his head and looked at him.

Vermilion Bird awkwardly rubbed his nose.

“If nothing goes wrong.”

“The Sect Leader of the Holy Sect might have found out that you’re Old Li’s man already.”

“Oh.”

Chen Sheng withdrew his gaze.

Respected Elder and Xiang Li may spring into action at any moment.

If Ancient Li urgently needed him to gather information, a specific plan would have been laid out yesterday.

There had been no movement for two consecutive days.

This probably means that they have abandoned the action on his side.

As for this,

Chen Sheng had anticipated it earlier.

So he didn’t show much surprise.

“However, you can rest assured.”

“As long as you stay in Western China and don’t provoke them, Respected Elder will leave you alone for the time being.”

“His main target now is Old Li’s power.”

“As for if there is an accident in Kyoto …”

“I’ll give you advanced notice to leave.”

When he said this.

Vermilion Bird’s expression was slightly dim.

Chen Sheng understood the meaning of his words.

It seemed like.

The situation on Ancient Li’s side is perhaps not promising.

He kept silent.

He neither offered to help voluntarily.

Nor did he ask for more details.

Right now, Chen Sheng just wanted to focus on one thing.

Which was to upgrade his strength as quickly as possible.

If the day really came for something to happen in Kyoto.

And he was strong enough to crush Xiang Li and Respected Elder.

Chen Sheng wouldn’t mind helping Ancient Li and the others along the way.

But if it was impossible.

He could only follow Vermilion Bird’s advice and temporarily avoid the sharp edge.

“Alright, alright.”

“Let’s not talk about this, let’s eat first.”

The gloom on his face quickly faded away.

Vermilion Bird returned to his cheeky demeanor.

Seeing this,

Chen Sheng also sat up from the ground, savoring the cooking skills of the Holy Sect’s chef.

“By the way, do you know what The Power of Authority really is?”

During the meal.

He remembered the question he wanted to ask Vermilion Bird.

“Why would you ask that?”

Vermilion Bird looked at him in surprise.

Chen Sheng told him about his encounter with the Godly Humans Association.

Which included the bizarre abilities within the Godly Humans Association.

The Power of Authority he knew was far different from these.

“That name is pretty funny.”

Upon hearing the name, Godly Humans Association.

Vermilion Bird burst into laughter.

“Ever since Old Li decided to release the information about the Qi-sensors and the Tide Rising Period, these messy organizations have been increasing.”

“If you have time recently, just help us sort it out.”

“Although most of these organizations are just small fry and won’t make much of a difference.”

“It’s better to get rid of them.”

“As for the Power of Authority you mentioned…”

Vermilion Bird was deep in thought.

“It should have something to do with Heavenly Person Cells.”

“I’m not entirely sure about the specifics, because whether Heavenly People are human, how they were born, what abilities they possess, etc., are strictly confidential within the Martial Arts Association.”

“To my knowledge, no more than five people in China are aware of this.”

“Old Li is one of them.”

“But he is also extremely reluctant to discuss this information with Sun Yihe and me.”

“In his words…”

“Knowing these things will only put us in danger.”

Hearing this,

Chen Sheng’s face turned stern.

He remembered when he gained the Water Authority and met Xuanwu, who said similar words.

Back then, Chen Sheng wanted to ask what exactly Heavenly People were.

But Xuanwu was also extremely cautious about it.

He simply told Chen Sheng to seize every moment to improve his strength.

It seemed,

This question could not be answered for the time being.

“However…”

Just as Chen Sheng was about to give up inquiring,

He saw Vermilion Bird suddenly change the topic.

A mischievous smile once again appeared on his face.

“Who am I?”

“The mighty Vermilion Bird!”

“If you want to talk about fighting, I’m just average.”

“But when it comes to chatting, I’m extremely good at it!”

Vermilion Bird lifted his head high in pride.

“Spill it.”

Chen Sheng said grumpily.

“Fine, fine, fine.”

“You need to know, I’ve known Old Li for decades.”

“Over so many years, we had numerous talks, even if he’s extremely cautious…hehe, there have been times when I managed to get information out of him.”

“What I know so far is that the abilities of the Heavenly People seem to come from Authority as well.”

“But their so-called Authority does not come from Heaven and Earth like ours, the martial artists.”

“Their abilities seem to have another origin.”

“Therefore, in the manifestation of abilities, the ‘Authority’ of the Heavenly People is different from us martial artists.”

“They have more variations and a much higher limit.”

“That’s all I know about the abilities of Heavenly People.”

“As for the other things, Old Li refused to say anything even at the stake.”

“As for the identity of Heavenly People…”

When it came to this,

Vermilion Bird took on a mysterious demeanor.

“They, too, are humans!”

“But it’s a different race from us Homo sapiens.”

Huh?

Chen Sheng looked surprised.

“Like the yellow race and the black race?”

“No, no, no.”

Vermilion Bird shook his head.

“The difference is much greater.”

“At least, there is a fundamental difference in body structure.”

“But I don’t quite understand the specifics.”

“If you really want to know everything, you have to ask Old Li, although I doubt he would say anything.”

Is that how it is…

After hearing what Vermilion Bird had said,

Chen Sheng was deep in thought.

A different race.

A power of authority that is similar to martial artists, but not sourced from the same origin.

Along with their immortality and innate hostility towards Homo sapiens.

These were all the information that Chen Sheng had gathered about Heavenly People up to this point.

They were very fragmented.

Even difficult to piece together.

Chen Sheng had a strange feeling.

He felt as if he was collecting pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

But right now,

He was missing a crucial piece.

The one that could connect all the other pieces.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way.”

As Chen Sheng was deep in thought,

Vermilion Bird got up, ready to leave.

Before leaving, he repeatedly asked Chen Sheng to help get rid of some minor organizations in the Western China Region when he had the time.

Lately in China,

Although these organizations didn’t cause serious trouble, they had indeed been a drain on the Martial Arts Association’s resources.

On this,

Chen Sheng did not refuse.

After Vermilion Bird left,

He issued instructions to Chou and Mao.

If they found similar organizations during their search for mission targets,

And if they could handle them, they should just wipe them out immediately.

If it was too troublesome, they should notify him.

Once the instructions were given,

Chen Sheng put away his phone.

He looked at the stove next to him.

The Spirit Medicine Soup that was prepared at noon was still quietly sitting on the stove.

Although it had long since cooled down,

The effectiveness of the Spirit Medicine Soup had not faded away just yet.

Chen Sheng finished it in one gulp.

With a flash,

He disappeared from the spot.
