Chapter 864: Chapter 386: Elder Zhou? Heavenly Communication Master? Possession! (Part 3)

Could it be...

The chief manager seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at the old man incredulously, unable to believe the thought that surfaced in his mind.

"Could it be that the Heavenly Communication Master didn’t die back then!!"

That battle back then was the battle that led to the destruction of the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage. It also established the current status of the Human Race.

The Heaven-Reaching Daoist, at the cost of his life, took down five Supreme beings, above fourteen Daoist Masters, single-handedly revealing the terrifying power of the Human Race to the Star River.

There are even rumors that within the super civilization that launched the sneak attack, there was an entity that could bring gods back to the mortal world. It was because that god intervened that led to the death of the Heaven-Reaching Daoist.

That super civilization also suffered considerable impact due to that battle, thus leading to the current era of great peace.

But if under those circumstances, the Heaven-Reaching Daoist were still alive...

"How is that different from a god!!" The chief manager marveled in his heart.

"Everyone has their own destiny. When I told you all to lie low that day, it was only for your safety. From the day the Hundred Divisions of the Dao Lineage disbanded, they ceased to be under my Heaven-Reaching mantle."

Zhou Wuliang spoke at this moment.

"I came here today just to ask you for a favor. As for the price, just follow the usual rules, and it will be fine."

Upon hearing this, Ma Lan’s expression immediately changed: "Master, you are humbling me."

"No matter what others think, to me, Wind Listening Platform will always be one of the Hundred Divisions, always an admirer of Heaven-Reaching!"

"I have lain low until today, waiting for your arrival."

Ma Lan said sincerely.

And it was apparent that Old Zhou didn’t have the mood to correct him on this matter.

"I want the list from back then."

Old Zhou said straightforwardly.

Ma Lan raised both hands, and countless threads reappeared under his hands. Then, with a flick of his fingers, countless threads swayed, and then countless starlight threads began to tremble.

Immediately, a piece of intelligence emerged and appeared on Old Zhou’s desk.

"Master, this piece of intelligence has been collected for a long time by Wind Listening, and it is still being constantly improved. Everyone involved in that event back then is included here."

"Among them, some have established sects, some have achieved noble families, and some have become high-ranking figures in the Federation."

Ma Lan said seriously.

Old Zhou picked up the list, glanced at it indifferently, and then raised his hand to crush it.

Without any superfluous words, Old Zhou stood up and walked away.

"Don’t do anything unnecessary."

Old Zhou said coldly.

Then, he left the palace directly.

Throughout the process, Ma Lan did not stand up, but remained kneeling on the ground, while the chief manager next to him didn’t dare to breathe loudly, desperately hunching his back lower.

Long after Zhou Wuliang left, Ma Lan finally stood up from the ground, looking towards the door with a flickering gaze, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the end, as if making some kind of decision, he turned around and also made a large step to leave.

It wasn’t until the great hall was left with only the chief manager, bent almost like a folded man, that he breathed a sigh of relief.

A kind of indescribable joy sprang up in his heart.

The value of this piece of intelligence can no longer be measured by money or resources. Just the four words Heavenly Communication Master are enough to influence the entire Human Race.

Crick~

Crick!!

However, just as he was thinking this, a strange sound reached his ears, like the sound of thick cardboard being forcibly folded.

"What is this noise?"

He couldn’t help but think this way, but when he wanted to turn his head to check, he was shocked to find that he couldn’t move anymore.

He wanted to scream but had lost the ability to make a sound. In his terrified eyes, a cold figure stood in front of him.

Then...

Crick~

Ma Lan held in his hand a ’board’ folded into a square shape.

"The most important entry point to the Wind Listening Platform is not to have thoughts that shouldn’t arise."

"You have been with me the longest, most like me, yet why haven’t you learned to behave?"

While speaking, Ma Lan had already thrown the ’board’ in his hand, which landed directly on a nearby bookshelf.

On that bookshelf, half of it was neatly stacked with ’boards.’

Ma Lan didn’t spare a glance at the bookshelf but muttered to himself: "You’re right, most like me, not behaving as you should."

"After all, I’ve reached this age and haven’t learned to behave either..."

As he spoke, a sheet of white paper appeared in his hand. He waved his hand, and characters appeared in the air.

Then the white paper burned, and strands of green smoke rose, transforming into five words.

The Master returns, come quickly!

Then, the green smoke swirled, transforming into some kind of force that disappeared into the void.

"Whether you are Zhou Wuliang or the Master returning, that power does not lie."

"The great kindness of Heaven-Reaching to us should be repaid."

Ma Lan said coldly.

....

Emperor Star, Celestial Mansion.

This was the residence of the Celestial Commander, who is the commander of the Southern War Zone. Today was his birthday banquet.

This old general did not like extravagance, so he did not invite outsiders.

Only a few close friends were gathered together.

"Hahahahaha, it’s been a long time since we’ve met."

The Celestial Commander, with a head full of silver hair but full of vigor, laughed heartily.

Opposite him sat two old men and a person dressed as a scholar.

"Wen Shi, you kid still love to act young. Thousands of years old and yet you use such a young face. Why not be like us?"

The Celestial Commander said.
