Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Star Moon City, Secret Factory
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Star Moon City."
A sweet announcement echoed inside the station.
Qin Tian walked out of the station with a backpack, strolling the streets of Star Moon City like an ordinary tourist.
The deep night sky resembled a vast black velvet curtain, studded with countless twinkling stars.
On the streets, hovering cars and flying devices flitted by like meteors, with light columns on both sides of the road emitting a soft yet bright glow, illuminating the entire street.
In the city center, a massive Energy Tower stood as the energy hub of Star Moon City and symbol of the city itself. The top of the tower gleamed intensely, like a star about to explode, reflecting off the bright moon and stars above.
Star Moon City perfectly blends technology with art. With a permanent population of over 60 million, it ranks among the top ten mega-cities on the Silver Gray Star.
Coming from the desolate little town to the modern Star Moon City gave Qin Tian a sense of disorientation, as if he had traveled from the old times to the future.
After walking to the reserved hotel, Qin Tian put down his backpack, took a shower, then turned off all the lights in the room. He sat cross-legged on the bed and began his daily cultivation.
Unlike before, he had changed his cultivation order, placing the "Frost Meditation Technique" before the "Shadow Thunder Prison Technique."
He visualized icy snow in his mind, his spiritual power spreading to every corner of the room, instantly lowering the temperature by several degrees.
After awakening the "Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority," his spiritual cultivation speed was astonishingly fast. Each session resulted in a noticeable increase in spiritual power, making him wonder whether he should pursue the path of a Spirit Mage.
Otherwise, this talent would be somewhat wasted.
Time passed by, and the cultivation of the Meditation Technique was nearing its end.
Just then, a shadow suddenly appeared in the room, as if emerging from the ground’s shadow.
Swish
Qin Tian opened his eyes and said calmly:
"You came."
Thud
The shadow kneeled on one knee, lowered his head, and said:
"Master."
Qin Tian snapped his fingers, condensing his spiritual power to turn on the lights in the room.
A man in black clothes, with an unremarkable appearance, was kneeling before him, his eyes full of respect.
"Li Qi, stand up."
Qin Tian patted the Night Demon Apostle’s shoulder. Previously, Li Qi was tasked with monitoring him, always by his side, and before Qin Tian was transferred to Mist Town, Li Qi had been assigned other work, arriving in Star Moon City.
This time, Qin Tian wanted to understand what Li Qi was up to, perhaps it could be the breakthrough to overthrow the Wen Family.
"Yes."
Li Qi stood up, the respect in his eyes undiminished. After only half a month, he felt the pressure from his master had become heavier, as if his strength had significantly improved.
"Li Qi, tell me about everything you’ve done since you came to Star Moon City in these past half-month."
Qin Tian raised his hand, motioning for Li Qi to sit and speak.
"Yes."
Li Qi nodded and began to recount his experiences over the past half month.
Actually, it was quite simple.
Since being transferred away from Qin Tian, Li Qi was initially assigned to Blue Moon Forest near Star Moon City to hunt Tier Four and above spirit beasts.
After killing the spirit beasts, specific people were responsible for transporting the spirit beast corpses to a factory outside the city.
Perhaps due to his outstanding performance, a few days after hunting spirit beasts, Li Qi was assigned to the factory to ensure its security.
"This factory is very mysterious, except for the transport teams and the guards, no one is allowed entry. The strangest thing is..."
Li Qi paused and said, "Every day, large numbers of spirit beast corpses are brought into the warehouse, but by the next day, the warehouse becomes empty."
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian raised an eyebrow:
"Are you sure no one is transporting the bodies out?"
"I’m sure!"
Li Qi nodded emphatically.
"That’s strange."
Qin Tian rubbed his chin, "Only incoming, no outgoing, and all are spirit beast corpses. It seems like this factory hides quite a secret."
"By the way, is there a problem with me calling you out?"
"No problem, tonight is my night watch. I made sure both of them were asleep before coming to you," said Li Qi.
"Better to be cautious."
Qin Tian said, "Go back now, I’ll follow behind you."
"Yes!"
Li Qi opened the window, dark mist spread, and he transformed into a crow, flying towards the distance.
After flying for some time, Li Qi looked back but saw nothing.
"No need to look, I’m right behind you."
A calm voice suddenly came from his mind, startling Li Qi, causing his wings to flap twice more.
"Master, you...?"
"No need to speak, just think in your mind. This is my Spiritual Link ability, allowing communication via thought without speaking. Get used to it; I’ll be using it often to contact you in the future," Qin Tian said.
"Yes!"
Li Qi continued flapping his wings and flew towards the factory, secretly thinking, his master was getting stronger and stronger.
"Actually, not that powerful."
A soft laugh echoed in his mind.
Li Qi’s body stiffened, suddenly feeling that this ability wasn’t so great after all.
There’s just no keeping any secrets.
......
The crow landed on the factory roof, black mist surged, and in the next moment, Li Qi returned to the monitoring room through Shadow Jump.
He walked to the door, checked the small trap he had set before leaving, and finding no signs of anyone entering, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Li Qi, I see those two. Tell me about their situation."
"Yes."
Li Qi sat in front of the monitor, silently said:
"Those two, one is Shang Mingyi and the other is Su Hao’an, both Spiritualists cultivated by the Wen Family, and their loyalty is no less than that of the Shadow Division members. Shang Mingyi is a Tier Five Four Stars Wind Element Spirit Mage, while Su Hao’an is a Tier Four Three Stars Earth Element Spiritual Martial Artist, both ranking above me, though neither has a bloodline ability."
The factory, guarded by Tier Four and Tier Five Spiritualists, suggests there’s certainly no simple secret inside.
Qin Tian’s gaze deepened, standing high in the sky, Night Demon Wings flapping continuously, aura perfectly restrained, body in an invisible state.
This factory looks ordinary, yet it gives him a sense of danger. That’s also why he hasn’t immediately used Shadow Jump to enter the warehouse.
Li Qi and the two other Spiritualists may only be the first layer of security. There may be even more formidable guardians hidden within the warehouse.
He cannot act rashly for now.
Swish~
Inside the monitoring room, Li Qi suddenly turned his head, and a circular Black Gate quietly appeared beside him, from which a figure stepped out.
"This..."
Li Qi’s eyes widened in disbelief, shocked that Qin Tian had mastered such a powerful spatial ability.
"Don’t be surprised, this is also one of my abilities."
Qin Tian whispered in his heart. In front of the Night Demon Apostle, he didn’t need to overly conceal his abilities.
