CHAPTER 230: CHAPTER 157: THE HIDDEN DANGER OF THE ASCENSION FACTIONS, DIVINE ABERRATION_3

"Now... I’ll let you fully cooperate with me, is there a problem?"

Lu Sheng spoke softly, his words sinking into Wu Shan’s ear, causing Wu Shan to involuntarily shiver.

As a fifth-tier Mechanical Priest, he naturally recognized the origin of this token.

But what terrified Wu Shan even more was that Lu Sheng had only joined Star River University for ten years, yet he was already able to possess such a token.

Life Token!

In the Life Factions, its authority is only second to mentors and sixth-tier senior brothers and sisters, and even at Star River University or within the Human Federation, it holds the highest authority below the sixth-tier Transcendent!

"You..."

Wu Shan tried to gather his words, but before he could speak, he was directly interrupted by Lu Sheng.

"What? Do you think there’s still a problem?"

Lu Sheng spoke calmly, his aura unique to a fifth-tier Immortal Martial Artist at this moment surged out, oppressing Wu Shan.

Even though they were both at the early stage of fifth-tier cultivation, Lu Sheng was an Immortal Martial Artist, while Wu Shan was an aging fifth-tier Mechanical Priest.

There was no comparison between the two.

Feeling the overwhelming life force, Wu Shan’s expression changed again, he swallowed nervously, but he couldn’t hide the shock in his eyes.

"I will cooperate immediately! Definitely cooperate, sir!"

Wu Shan immediately changed his tone, even calling Lu Sheng "sir".

"Sir, what should we do next?"

Wu Shan stood up respectfully and asked, with none of his previous aggressive demeanor.

Meanwhile, beside Lu Sheng, Chen Moyun was already stunned.

He also saw the Life Token Lu Sheng had taken out. Wu Shan could recognize the token, and as a student of Star River University, there was no reason for Chen Moyun not to know it.

"This..."

Chen Moyun felt his mind was a bit chaotic. He had thought Lu Sheng’s breakthrough to fifth-tier was already unbelievable, but he never expected Lu Sheng had already become a prodigy seed of the Life Factions.

To know, the Life Factions also had seventh-tier Transcendents stationed there, making it quite a renowned faction at Star River University.

"Now... tell me about this deity’s information. I don’t believe that this deity has been living on Tianqi Star for so long, and you, as the Guardian, don’t know a thing."

Lu Sheng sat on the sofa, his face calm as he looked at Wu Shan.

Wu Shan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and immediately shared the information he knew.

"Sir, that deity is extremely intelligent and has many hiding spots. Our Tianqi Star has countless mines on the surface, and the deity hides in these mines, sometimes for as long as ten years. No one has noticed the deity’s presence until recently."

"The deity rarely leaves the mines, and even when it does, it only devours some low-tier Transcendents. The disappearance of low-tier Transcendents seldom raises suspicion towards the deity."

"It was only half a year ago, when a fourth-tier Transcendent on Tianqi Star disappeared, that I began to pay attention. After some investigation, I confirmed the deity’s existence, and then I reported it to the Human Federation."

Wu Shan explained the discovery of the deity earnestly to Lu Sheng.

With the Life Token present and Lu Sheng’s terrifying aura, Wu Shan dared not hide anything. If he angered Lu Sheng, his position as Guardian might soon be over.

"Sir, you also know Tianqi Star is extremely rich in mineral resources. After hundreds of years of mining, Tianqi Star now has countless mines. The deity hides in these mines, moving between them, making it very hard for us to track its whereabouts."

Wu Shan stated cautiously, afraid to offend Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng sat on the sofa, pondering for a moment before looking at Chen Moyun, both of them seeing understanding in each other’s eyes.

"Since we can’t find it... let’s force it out!"

Lu Sheng spoke slowly, standing up from the sofa with a calm expression.

"Summon all the fourth-tier Transcendents on Tianqi Star. I want that deity to have nowhere to hide!"

As he spoke, a light flashed in Lu Sheng’s eyes.

...

Soon, a summons spread throughout Tianqi Star via Tianqi Heavy Industry’s internal network.

All the fourth-tier Transcendents who saw the summons showed surprised expressions.

"Summoning all the Transcendents on Tianqi Star? What’s happening?"

"I think I have an idea. Could it be about the deity?"

"Hiss, are they preparing to take action against the deity?"

Within Tianqi Star, the fourth-tier Transcendents showed surprised expressions upon seeing the summons and quickly began preparing to assemble.

The assembly point was outside Qiming City!

Tianqi Heavy Industry issued a mandatory summons, and even these fourth-tier Transcendents didn’t dare disobey.

At the same time, a few fourth-tier Transcendents within Qiming City also received the mandatory summons.

Jiang He, Mu Bing, their mentor Lu Haichuan, and Mei Hua appeared outside Qiming City, watching figures approaching Qiming City.

Each person exuded a powerful aura.

"I wonder who could force the release of a mandatory summons from Tianqi Heavy Industry. They must be significant!"

Jiang He couldn’t help but say as he watched.

Lu Haichuan nodded: "Indeed, I heard from the Defense Army that not long ago, a fifth-tier powerhouse descended to Celestial Secret Star City. I wonder if this has anything to do with that powerhouse."
