Chapter 1496: Secret Service
The Life and Death Vine was useless?
It was obvious that other than the Grand Elder and the Ancestor of the Sword Feather Sect, no one else knew about him.
Why did the old captain of the law enforcement team suddenly appear there?
He purposely handed the law enforcement team over to Huang, was it because he wanted to break away from the line of sight of the higher levels of the human race, so that they wouldn't place their attention on him?
Qin Yichen could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
If the old captain was really a traitor, given his identity, how many pawns had he planted among humans over these years?
"Where are the Sword Elder and the Great Elder?"
While Qin Yichen was deep in thought, Su Hua's voice suddenly rang out.
Hearing this voice, Qin Yichen's face also flashed with a touch of sadness.
Even though the old captain said that Sword Elder wasn't in any danger, the First Elder might have died in order to help him stall the Magnates.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Qin Yichen furrowed his brows. With a flip of his hand, a communication bead appeared in his hand as the old mansion master's voice quietly rang out in his mind.
"Everyone, I have some urgent matters to attend to. I'll take my leave first."
Qin Yichen cupped his fists at the other powerhouses and said, "Thank you, Old Potentate, for returning to Heaven's Elysium.
Su Hua and the rest returned the greeting. Qin Yichen was now the next Potentate of Heaven's Elysium, so he naturally deserved their respect.
After which, Qin Yichen did not stay any longer. With a move of his body, he transformed into a ray of light and left.
To Qin Yichen's surprise, he saw a large group of Martial Saint experts gathered not too far away!
These Saint Realm experts didn't wear the robes of the Enforcement Squad, but their cultivations weren't low. Most of them were at the Mid Saint Realm, and there were even some at the High Saint Realm!
"These should be the experts who took the initiative to participate in the preparation of the law enforcement team, right?"
Looking at the group of over a hundred Martial Saints, Qin Yichen was filled with awe.
These experts should be important figures from the various Holy Lands. Perhaps there were even Holy Lords among them!
However, under the call of the law enforcement team, they resolutely abandoned that noble life and came to the dangerous first line of defense of the human race.
…
Heaven's Elysium, in a stone hall.
Tian Wuming sat quietly on a chair, his eyes slightly closed as if he was taking a nap.
At this moment, Tian Wuming's body emitted a faint deathly aura. It was almost visible to the naked eye.
In the end, this old man, who had guarded the human race for nearly thirty thousand years, could not withstand the erosion of time.
Before becoming a Great Emperor, even someone as strong as Tian Wuming, who could strike fear into the hearts of Outer Race Almighties, could not resist the power of time.
The current him had already reached his limit.
Originally, when he saw Qin Yichen's dazzling performance on the Stairway to Heaven, Tian Wuming still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Perhaps he could still protect the young man until he grew up.
However, in order to retrieve Qin Yichen's Soul Lamp and prevent his identity from being exposed, Tian Wuming had fought a great battle, regardless of the cost. From then on, he could no longer suppress the deathly aura.
Whoosh!
With the sound of wind breaking, Qin Yichen's figure also appeared in the hall. Looking at the old man who was leaning on the chair as if he had fallen asleep, a look of sadness rose in his eyes.
"You're back."
As Qin Yichen appeared, Tian Wuming slowly opened his eyes, and a gentle voice rang out.
"I'm sorry to have worried you, Potentate."
Qin Yichen bowed respectfully to Tian Wuming.
Tian Wuming nodded as he looked at the young man in front of him. His old face was filled with a gratified smile.
"Estate Master, I brought back something from the Yao Clan, which should be very helpful to you."
Qin Yichen hurriedly took out the jade box containing the Life and Death Vine from his ring. When he opened it, a refreshing fragrance filled the air.
This Life and Death Vine was the reward that Qin Yichen had received for winning the Medicine Ceremony. To many Almighties, it was a precious treasure that was difficult to measure its value.
However, Tian Wuming merely glanced at it and shook his head slightly.
"It's useless."
Tian Wuming raised his arm, and as he did so, a visible black gas seemed to spurt out from his body. The fragrance of the Life and Death Vine could not seep into it.
"This …"
Looking at the visible deathly aura, Qin Yichen's body trembled, and his heart turned cold.
Although the Life and Death Vine had the effect of prolonging one's life, the old Estate Master had consumed many rare items similar to it. Every time he consumed it, the effect of the item would diminish. Now, the Life and Death Vine's effect was almost negligible to him.
Most importantly, he was able to persevere until now because of his obsession with the Human Tribe!
"You have done well."
Looking at the disappointed young man, Tian Wuming chuckled and praised him.
This time, although Qin Yichen had been in danger several times, he had returned safely. Moreover, he had roped in a powerful ally, the elder of the Yao Clan!
For the human race, this was a good thing that was hard to come by.
"But, Great Elder …"
Hearing Tian Wuming's praise, Qin Yichen did not look proud. Instead, a tinge of sadness flashed across his handsome face.
"Don't blame yourself."
Tian Wuming shook his head and smiled.
"Did Great Elder escape?"
Hearing this, Qin Yichen narrowed his eyes and asked hurriedly.
Tian Wuming nodded but did not say anything.
"Estate Master, did you ask Great Elder and Elder Jian to come and rescue me?"
Seeing Tian Wuming's expression, Qin Yichen was elated. However, he quickly thought of something and asked hurriedly.
"Yes."
Tian Wuming nodded and looked at Qin Yichen quietly.
"Estate Master, did you tell anyone else about this?"
Qin Yichen asked.
"Only the two of them."
Tian Wuming pondered for a while and asked, "Do you know who the traitor is?"
"I'm not sure, but I think I have an idea."
Qin Yichen took a deep breath and said slowly.
Only Great Elder and the Ancestor of the Sword Feather Clan knew about his return. The old leader of the Enforcement Squad was very suspicious.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to hide for long. Soon, he will reveal himself. I will hand over a complete Human Tribe to you."
Tian Wuming chuckled and said firmly.
"Estate Master, do you have any plans?"
