“This information is useless.”

“This information is useless too…”

“Brother, more than half of this is counterfeit cultural relics from black market merchants.”

Early in the morning, Qing Chen sat by the lake, sifting through the documents Shadow had just brought back, carefully glancing up to observe Shadow’s expression.

He was really worried that Shadow couldn’t handle the blow.

Last night, Shadow had snatched nearly a thousand cultural relics and documents from the black market, but as Qing Chen had predicted, important things were unlikely to be left in the hands of black market merchants.

Even the Qing Family didn’t have any valuable information, so how could black market merchants have any?

Shadow calmly asked, “Didn’t you find anything?”

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment: “Well… but brother, you don’t have to think too much about it. It’s normal not to find anything. You can’t expect to find so many hidden treasures…”

“Do I need your comfort? Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Shadow said with a smile.

Qing Chen carefully looked at Shadow, and found that the other party did not have any unhappy expression.

It seemed that after the initial urgency, Shadow’s mood had calmed down.

Strange, yesterday he was full of killing intent, and today he found nothing, how come he suddenly calmed down?

However, Qing Chen was relieved: “Actually, whether we can find a new cultivation inheritance doesn’t matter. In the worst case, I’ll just use the Zhunti Method to exchange for it. The Kunlun organization has principles and bottom lines, so I’m not afraid of them abusing it.”

Shadow asked with a smile, “Aren’t you disappointed? After all, it’s something that Qing Family Shadow promised you. As one of the most powerful figures in the Federation, he couldn’t even fulfill your small request.”

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “Brother, you’ve already done your best. As far as I know, you’ve never done so many trivial things for anyone before.”

Shadow’s smile deepened: “It’s good that you can think this way. But rest assured, I will definitely help you find useful information. However, not now.”

Qing Chen was stunned. Shadow seemed to have a new plan.

…

…

City 20, a team of Garrison Troops soldiers finished their shift and slowly walked towards the camp.

After entering the camp, they returned all their equipment to the armory: bulletproof helmets, tactical vests, optical glasses, firearms, all entered the warehouse according to their numbers.

Everyone walked towards the shower room arm in arm.

At this time, a soldier said, “You guys go first, I forgot to get my towel.”

“Go, go,” his companions waved.

After this soldier left the team, he went to the dormitory and took out an extremely delicate satellite phone from the heel of his army boot, sending a message: “City 20’s defense has changed. Pay close attention to No. 115 Changning Street in the second district.”

At the same time, many places were staging this scene.

And Shadow, in the Forbidden Zone 10, after receiving these messages, smiled at Qing Chen: “The opportunity has come. I’ll go to Shendai, Koshima, and Chen Family for a trip, to make some good connections.”

Qing Chen was stunned, but he quickly reacted.

No wonder Shadow didn’t care when he watched him burn nearly a thousand documents.

Because Shadow’s intention was not in the wine, he was going to make a big splash in the black market, let everyone know what he was looking for, and then figure out where the information in the three Conglomerates was hidden.

From the beginning, Shadow’s target was not the black market, but the Conglomerates.

He knew very well that the most likely place to find important information was in the hands of the Conglomerates.

At this time, Shadow stood up and smiled at Qing Chen: “I’ll be back soon, it won’t take long.”

Qing Chen was stunned: “Will it be dangerous?”

Shadow laughed: “No. In this world, unless the gods awaken, no one can put me in danger, not even your master.”

With that, he walked into the woods and opened the Shadow Gate.

On the street of City 20, Shadow strolled towards Changning Street.

Arriving at the gate of No. 115, he smiled at the camera on the gate: “Thank you all for helping me gather everything here.”

The next moment, someone in the monitoring room panicked, and the internal security personnel all started to move.

Several B-Class Gene Soldiers who had just arrived and were guarding the house immediately stood up and prepared to enter combat status.

But all of this stagnated when Shadow took a step into the courtyard.

The movements of everyone in the courtyard slowed to the extreme, like snails, as if taking a step would take a year.

The whole world came to a standstill, only the protagonist of this world could do whatever he wanted.

Shadow walked into the courtyard with a smile, passing through layers of obstacles, passing through people whose movements were stagnant, and came to the safe in the deepest part of the courtyard.

At this time, Shadow walked back, picked up a black marker pen on the desk, and drew a small turtle on the Face[-] of a B-Class Gene Soldier.

Then he opened the Shadow Gate and dragged the safe inside.

The moment the Shadow Gate closed, time resumed.

The security guards in the courtyard looked at each other, for them, only a black figure flashed past like a stream of light, and then their safe for storing information was gone!

It was as if no one had ever been there.

“Who was it?!”

One of them suddenly pointed at the B-Class Gene Soldier’s Face[-]: “You have a turtle drawn on your Face[-]!”

The B-Class Gene Soldier was stunned: “Shadow! It’s Qing Family Shadow, quickly tell the head of the family, Qing Family Shadow has been here! We’ve been tricked!”

Only Shadow has such a terrifying ability!

Qing Family Shadow rarely takes action himself; in people’s minds, he is more of a behind-the-scenes strategist, and few people have seen him fight.

Every time he makes a move, he is extremely cautious.

But this time is different, Shadow has personally taken action!

Someone in the courtyard hurriedly called to report the matter.

But they couldn’t understand why Qing Family Shadow would personally come to Shendai’s territory and use his almost omnipotent ability to steal a safe?

Shadow personally stealing things? Is he still ashamed?

The key is, it’s not something particularly precious, is it worth it?!

…

…

Shadow didn’t only visit Shendai, he also went to Koshima and Chen Family.

A total of seven places, totaling over a thousand documents.

Qing Chen and the others were sitting by the lake, watching Shadow shuttle back and forth in the Shadow Gate, constantly throwing things out of the Shadow Gate.

Sometimes he threw out a safe, sometimes he threw out framed documents, very busy.

Qing Chen and the others didn’t have internet access here, so they didn’t know that a major incident had already occurred outside.

Shendai, Koshima, and Chen Family were all personally robbed by Shadow, causing panic throughout the Federation.

However, in the Face[-] of Shadow’s ability, they had no way to resist.

Shadow, as a Demi-God, came to steal information.

They couldn’t invite a Demi-God to guard the place, could they?

A Demi-God has more important things to do. Who would be as free as Qing Family Shadow!

And Shadow, who caused the huge chaos, was now sitting by the campfire, looking expectantly at Qing Chen: “Take a look. If there’s nothing you need here, then it’s probably really impossible to find it.”

Qing Chen was silent for a long time: “Thank you.”

Then, he and Yang Yang began to sift through all the documents.

When he picked up the first one, Yang Yang was stunned: “This piece of paper… is it the lyrics of Raid? I’ve seen the song name in the Outer World before. Wasn’t this song just released a few years ago?”

A lyric sheet that had been collected by the Conglomerate for nearly a thousand years, its content was a song from the Outer World a few years ago. This matter itself is very strange.

Moreover, at the end of the lyrics, someone wrote the author’s name, Ren He.

Qing Chen thought to himself, isn’t this the name of the founder of the Knight Order?

Recalling the speculations in Prison 18, Li Shutong said at that time that the founder had left a few songs, Canon, Farewell…

At that time, Qing Chen was guessing whether the founder of the Knight Order was someone who traveled from the Outer World to the Inner World, then moved the songs from the Outer World to the Inner World and became a popular singer.

Now… it’s confirmed!

Qing Chen was somewhat amused. It seems that the founder of the Knight Order was indeed a time traveler, and he just traveled a few years ago.

But this is too shameless, to actually plagiarize songs and sign his own name.

No wonder the author of the English version of Jin Ping Mei is also Ren He.

And the Conglomerate found this piece of paper, only the two words ‘Ren He’ on the paper were understandable to them, and Ren He is the founder of the Knight Order, so the Conglomerate thought that there was some great secret hidden on this piece of paper, so they collected it to this day.

After all, from ancient times to the present in the Inner World, anything related to the name Ren He is a major event.

Ren He probably never imagined that his actions would cause so much confusion for the Conglomerate.

The Conglomerate was really unlucky…

Qing Chen threw the paper into the fire: “Cough, cough, this is a secret of our Knight Order, let it disappear.”

Otherwise, if more people know about it, it will be quite embarrassing…

“Useless.”

“Useless.”

“This one is useless too.”

As Qing Chen and Yang Yang kept sifting, Shadow became restless. Could it be that Chen Family, Shendai, and Koshima didn’t find anything useful either?

Those three Conglomerates were too useless…

This is the first time Shadow hoped that the people of Shendai, Koshima, and Chen Family would be efficient, not useless and not finding anything useful.

In the past, he hoped that the members of the three Conglomerates would be more useless.

A few hours passed, and Shadow became more and more disappointed.

At this time, Xiao Mengqian picked out a piece of calligraphy from the messy documents: “Boss, the characters on this paper are strange.”

Qing Chen looked over and was stunned: “Cloud Seal Script?”

The so-called Cloud Seal Script, also known as Fengwen, is a general term that includes bird seal script, insect seal script, and gold seal script.

Therefore, one seal script can have many different writing styles.

The only common feature is that they are used by Daoists to write Taoist classics.

And the script on this piece of paper is… Immortal Seal Script.

Qing Chen had seen records of Cloud Seal Script online, but he didn’t know much about it.

There are a total of 281 characters on the whole piece of paper.

Qing Chen could only recognize ten characters: “Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun.”

These ten characters were popularized online.

‘Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun’ is a god worshipped by Daoism, the incarnation of the Nanji Changsheng Emperor. As the highest god of the Thunder Department, he controls the complex organization of thunder gods, with its headquarters at Shenxiao Yuqing Mansion, and under it are three provinces, nine departments, thirty-six inner court departments, east and west Huatai, Xuan Guan Miaoge, four mansions, six courtyards, and various departments and offices.

Qing Chen felt a chill down his spine. Could it be that he had really found some cultivation inheritance?

However, to know what the whole text says and how to segment the cultivation, he might have to find old Taoists from the Outer World to find out…
