Wang Chong withdrew his wrist, and the Origin Immortal Stellar Energy flowed back into his body.
”I've done my best to treat your internal injuries, but this method can't go on for too long. After eight times at most, your body won't be able to hold on and will completely collapse,” Wang Chong sternly said.
The faceless man, Zhang Qiantuo, had begun cultivating far too late. In his teens, he had failed to reach a very high level, and it was only in his forties that he had begun to learn those supreme arts.
This age gap was something that the faceless man could not make up for, no matter what he did.
The faceless man straightened his back and coldly said, ”This faceless man is unimportant. Master does not need to worry. Master must tell me why you summoned me!”
”Mm!”
After a few moments of thought, Wang Chong began to speak.
”I have a mission for you. I hope that this object can help you find some clues.”
As Wang Chong spoke, he opened his hand. Pop! A secret compartment behind him opened, and a large metal sphere flew through the air and floated in front of him. This was none other than the control core left behind by the Landeshunger beneath Hamuhad.
”What mission?”
Surprisingly, the faceless man did not immediately agree, nor did he take the sphere. He stood his ground, motionless.
”If Master's mission is to deal with the Eastern or Western Turkic Khaganates or some particular person, please forgive the faceless man for not accepting the request. I remember Master saying that I lived for only one goal, and that anything that did not have to do with those men was no business of mine!”
Xu Keyi and the other subordinates would have been shocked to hear this. No member of the King of Foreign Lands Residence dared to speak to Wang Chong this way, and this wasn't even considering that Wang Chong had saved the faceless man's life.
But on his throne, Wang Chong simply nodded.
He keenly understood that the faceless man was not being disrespectful. This was simply his personality.
”Relax. This mission has to do with finding those people.”
As Wang Chong spoke, he raised his right index finger and lightly prodded the metal sphere. Clack! The metal sphere separated into four pieces, revealing a square box the size of a fist.
With another prod, he pressed a hidden button on the box. The box opened, revealing an even smaller metal sphere.
This metal sphere was pitch-black, covered in mysterious carvings.
The hall fell quiet. Even the faceless man couldn't help but stare at this small metal sphere.
Given the many layers under which this sphere had been hidden, the faceless man sensed that there was something special about it.
”Take this metal sphere with you. It will guide you toward some items. When you find those items, you will be able to find the men in black. But remember, no matter what, you are not to fight them. Once you find their location, immediately report back to me. You are to do nothing else,” Wang Chong sternly said as he tossed the sphere over to the faceless man.
”Understood!”
The faceless man immediately took the metal sphere and vanished, leaving behind no trace of his existence in the hall.
Wang Chong was left alone in the hall.
He stood next to his throne, his eyes in pensive thought.
Wang Chong's greatest harvest from the Hamuhad well was not the Ifrit King seed, nor was it the golden seed's new ability. Instead, it was the black sphere left behind by the Landeshunger.
This was the second and final message left behind by the Landeshunger.
”…One from the future, if you can hear these words, you must remember that the otherworldly invaders must open six bases in order to enter the world of humans. These six bases also serve as their entry points.
”The object hidden in the metal sphere is the culmination of all our research on the otherworldly invaders, created at great price. In a certain range, it can sense the existence of the six bases. In the future, it will undoubtedly be of assistance to your world, allowing you to discover the clues beforehand and avoid the destiny of our world!”
Wang Chong once more recalled that voice of the Landeshunger left behind in the metal sphere.
”No matter what, no matter the cost, I will not let you succeed!” Wang Chong muttered, looking up at the roof. He flipped his palm over, revealing a glassy black crystal as large as his palm. But in the blink of an eye, Wang Chong put it away.
The black crystal had also been left behind by the Landeshunger, but it was not time for it to appear yet.
