Chapter 1363: 1361 The Fallen Guest Empire (20)

Chapter 1363: Chapter 1361 The Fallen Guest Empire (20)

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

Even in the unpredictable nightmare, this simple axiom remains endearingly true.

The water in the lake is not deep; Fu Qian quickly touched the sandy and rocky lakebed, and this did not affect his course in the slightest.

After advancing for a while with the momentum of pioneering, a crimson mist spread from his body, and Fu Qian directly initiated the Blood Conquest.

When he reappeared, he was leaning against the stone wall, situated in a dim corridor.

In front of him, a woman slightly younger than Lady Raven stood rigidly on the spot, looking over in surprise.

It was precisely because of her appearance in his perception that Fu Qian used the Blood Conquest’s visual leap.

The situation seemed obvious. Beneath the shallow lake, which replaced the West District Church, there was a special underground building.

The corridor’s four walls were entirely constructed of slabs, with a design noticeably rougher than the inexplicably vanished West District Church.

But considering the location, the difficulty of construction is hard to say how much worse it could be.

And at this moment, Fu Qian had already sensed more living beings all around him, even beneath his feet.

“Good evening.”

While surveying the surroundings, Fu Qian didn’t forget to greet the jumping lady before him.

The Thread of Concern pointing to the lesson’s representative still led to a deeper level, but he no longer continued to walk in a straight line.

This trip was to extract information, that person’s significance was merely providing a tracking coordinate.

It’s time for communication now.

In fact, the first-time finding was comforting, the lady before him was clearly a living human.

…

“Good evening… Dark Moon Apostle?”

What’s even more comforting is that after a brief shock, the stranger lady returned his greeting with a slight frown and directly identified Fu Qian’s origin.

“You can call me Xia; you arrived quite quickly!”

These people seem to have a quite special connection among themselves.

Fully satisfied, Fu Qian quickly reached a conclusion.

At this moment, he had already hidden his wings, along with the red eyes and fangs representing the Bloodline Clan traits, yet he was still recognized at a glance.

It’s very easy to recall the abilities Lady Raven displayed earlier; could these people share perceptions with each other to some extent?

Mental communication shouldn’t be the case; otherwise, the lesson’s representative brother wouldn’t need to issue orders at that time.

“Dark Moon First Apostle.”

While pondering, Fu Qian admitted and emphasized his identity, looking totally unconcerned about the apparent readiness of the other party.

He even saved the trouble of self-introduction, didn’t he?

“Remarkable indeed, I can’t even imagine how you got in.”

To this, Lady Xia did not hide her admiration.

“But you didn’t attack me immediately, unlike what you did outside. Can I ask what your purpose for appearing here is?”

“It’s been heavy-handed; just came to check in.”

This kind of question was naturally not difficult for Fu Qian, and he answered without hesitation.

“You know the person isn’t dead?”

Lady Xia squinted her eyes, not hiding her further shock and even thought of something immediately afterward.

“Not only know they’re not dead, but even tracked here using such a method?”

Quick to react indeed, these Nightmare Guards truly are normal-thinking humans.

Previously seeing the lesson’s representative brother’s death, I was worried that the armor had gained sentience.

Now it seems to be some special combat poses.

As the invisible threat always worried by the Awakeners, these people surely have daily identities roaming around.

“Pretty much, mainly because I’m not too familiar with this place, this way is more efficient.”

Fu Qian continued to maintain his sincerity and goodwill in the communication.

This is indeed true; the purpose behind the previous series of actions was always clear—to find this counterforce against the Awakeners and help them brainstorm.

“You are indeed a special person… Please follow me.”

Staring at Fu Qian, Lady Xia finally fell silent briefly this time.

And upon speaking again, she actually extended an invitation to Fu Qian, gesturing towards one direction in the corridor.

“I believe they were taken aback but are prepared for the reception.”

Indeed, sincerity is the ultimate weapon.

After a series of exchanges, as an intruder, he actually received a formal invitation.

Satisfied, Fu Qian realized the power of honesty even more profoundly.

“Take it easy, just here for a simple chat.”

“They should be looking forward to it as well…”

Seeing Fu Qian readily accept the invitation, Lady Xia’s eyes flashed with surprise, immediately followed her stride alongside him, showing no sign of worry about following the lesson’s representative footsteps.

“Regarding the person you want to visit, I’m afraid it might be inconvenient at the moment.”

…

An interesting organization.

Following Lady Xia all the way forward, Fu Qian knew he was rapidly delving deeper underground.

Undoubtedly, the secret underwater building before him belongs under the control of the Nightmare Guards.

And seemingly unlike putting up a facade of calm, the demeanor of Xia compared to the previous hunting team can be said to be very different.

Not only did she not attack immediately, but she even led the way for him.

This kind of excessive confidence, changing to another person casually, might already have caused massive psychological pressure.

Even if narcissistic like Fu Qian, he would never think the other party is genuinely prepared to treat him with courtesy.

It’s merely definitive confidence in the situation, giving them full assurance—even amidst the unexpected visit.

At this point, Fu Qian expressed more anticipation for the upcoming interaction.

“Here we are.”

After a series of descending turns, Xia finally gestured for Fu Qian to stop, pointing at a door with special material next to them.

“Alright.”

Without delay, Fu Qian directly proceeded forward and pushed the door open.

…

“Good evening, everyone.”

Inside the fairly narrow stone chamber, two men and one woman were already seated.

Like Xia, their attire and appearances were quite ordinary, forming a stark contrast with the Awakeners.

Of course, their expressions were far more serious by comparison.

So much so that in response to Fu Qian’s greeting, only their eyes flickered simultaneously.

“I encountered this Dark Moon Apostle gentleman above; he seems quite eager to communicate with us.”

And as Xia casually closed the door behind her, she followed and entered as well.

So, did I choose a key figure as the jump board?

While Fu Qian marveled inwardly, one of the silent trio, with a dense mustache and bronze skin, finally spoke.

“It certainly seems so, but I’m curious about how you plan to ensure we’re willing to cooperate after those previous actions?”

“Simple, see here.”

Facing the somewhat unfriendly response, Fu Qian continued to reply fluently, producing a crystalline bell in his hand the next moment.

And in the instant the other attendees looked over, he directly rang the Eternity Clarity Mind.
