Chapter 29 Shen Luoyan <TOC> Chapter 31 The Titled Cultist
Translator: SumTLMan
Shen Zongdu, the name in the Xingdu Federation specifically refers to Shen Hongshi. It was he who split the interference army of the various summers, leading to the division of the interference army into East Xia and West Xia.
Even in the eyes of the people of West Xia, he is a mixed blessing.
Before the great disaster, he was already a powerful first-level awakened person. Because of his strength, the Xingdu Federation directly divided a state and appointed him as governor.
In the Xingdu Federation, due to historical and geographical reasons, the power of the governors of each state varies greatly. Some governors are just rubber stamps, completely overshadowed, some governors can only control the capital of their state, while others can extend their influence beyond their state.
Shen Hongshi is one of the best among the more than thirty governors in the entire Xingdu Federation. He not only manages his own territory of Tripla with a needle-like efficiency, but also almost independently controls several small states such as Tripla and Manyphel, almost like a kingdom.
Li Mu’s first reaction upon hearing the identity of the security chief was to worry that Li Mei would not be able to control her emotions.
“So what does the security chief want from me?”
Li Mu only believes that there is hate in the world without cause, and does not believe that there is love in the world without cause.
“It’s very simple, find out what the Soul Cult is doing.”
Shen Luoyan said as she gently tapped the steering wheel with her fingers. They were speeding towards the security headquarters. She opened the glove box of the off-road vehicle and took out a book from inside, handing it to Li Mu.
“This is a copy of Mahadev’s diary, he is a member of the Soul Cult, always covering up the actions of the Soul Cult, making the chief ignorant of the situation in the area of Orissa.”
“Then why not just remove Mahadev?”
Li Mu took the diary and felt a little sentimental. He didn’t expect this diary to end up in his hands.
“Even the security chief cannot do as he pleases in Avonigarda.”
Shen Luoyan said meaningfully. After Mahadev died, there was intense competition over the choice of successor. In the end, Li Mu, who was proposed by the chief, won the final victory, after all, the value of being the first in the operational command course at Pucini Military Academy was still very high.
“Later, Mahadev suddenly went crazy, really crazy, the chief once sent a psychic lie detector to confirm this, which is likely related to the plan of the Soul Cult. They seem to have released something invaluable from the Source Ocean.”
“Chief, I am just a fifth-level awakened person, you don’t really think I can do these things, do you?”
Li Mu said.
“Of course, I won’t let you go alone, you have to trust the organization.”
Shen Luoyan said half of it, suddenly slammed on the brakes, and then quickly shifted gears. In the midst of a screeching tire friction, the off-road vehicle abruptly stopped, and then quickly turned around.
It was not until this time that a transport vehicle rushed out in front of the road, and after a loud crash, it heavily hit the building on the side of the road, blocking the narrow two-way road.
The driver of the transport vehicle was also taken aback when the target suddenly turned around.
“It seems that even in Avonigarda, the commander still has some power left.”
Li Mu drew out his knife. Their way out was also blocked by a transport vehicle. These ambushers had already known their itinerary and could arrange such a tight ambush.
After entering Avonigarda, he did not conceal his identity anymore, and within just one night, his identity was confirmed, and he organized such a tight ambush.
This is enough to show that the Soul Cult has deep roots in Avonigarda.
The car’s hood opened, and a dozen fully armed priests jumped out of each transport vehicle. They were wearing black robes, using bizarre curved knives, short guns, and a heavy machine gun was mounted on the car’s hood.
A large iron cage was placed on one side of the hood in front, and because it was covered with black cloth, it was not clear what was inside. But the insane collision sounds and scratching sounds from inside indicated that there was definitely nothing good inside.
“Do you know why I came to pick you up to report?”
Shen Luoyan stretched out her hand, and a mechanical box in the car automatically opened, countless metal parts flew out from it, and after being assembled on her right arm, it became a mechanically exquisite arm with delicate patterns engraved.
“Dong! Dong! Dong!”
The dull roar, two heavy machine guns cross-fired, brass bullet casings landed with a clatter, and the whistling bullet rain accumulated on the off-road vehicle, only sparking, but the impact of the bullets made the off-road vehicle slightly shake, but it was unable to penetrate.
“It’s a control system awakening!”
The commander of the Soul Cult gestured for his subordinates to stop shooting, ordinary off-road vehicles cannot withstand the close-range direct shot of heavy machine guns, and there must be a control system awakening who has strengthened it.
He was a giant man over six feet tall, with pale skin and a muscular physique that was covered in dense hair, as if wearing a black shirt. He carried a massive iron spear over his shoulder that was as thick as a goose egg and jumped directly from the transport vehicle. With one footstep on the ground, it caused the ground to sink.
The entire transport vehicle shook violently because of the loss of a large amount of weight.
Li Mu’s pupils contracted. With such weight, that iron spear must be extremely heavy, and to wield such a heavy weapon, the commander in the Soul Cult must be an incredibly strong awakened being.
Because of leverage, the strength required to wield a weapon is much greater than the weight of the weapon itself. The longer the handle, the more this is the case. So even though Li Mu had nearly a ton of strength under enhancement, he only used a machete that weighed around forty kilograms.
“I never expected that the Soul Cult would send a titled priest to kill you, it seems that their secrets in the Orissa jurisdiction are truly astonishing.”
Shen Luoyan gripped her mechanical arm, and a powerful energy burst out from it.
Titled priests are the backbone of the Soul Cult and are mostly fourth-level power or above. They are the spear of the Soul Cult, dealing with people who pose a threat to the cult.
With a loud boom, the titled priest charged forward like a bear, his iron spear dancing wildly, creating a storm of piercing screams.
The spear point pierced the front windshield of the off-road vehicle.
“Boom!”
With a loud boom, the sharp spear point penetrated the windshield, piercing halfway through. The entire off-road vehicle was pushed ten meters away under the rough impact, hitting the transport vehicle behind it.
“As long as you hide in this car, there will be no danger.”
Shen Luoyan pressed her cherry-colored lips with her finger and looked at Li Mu with a pitiful tone.
“Let this weak woman take care of those fierce enemies outside.”
Li Mu looked at the surging energy on the mechanical arm and smiled. This woman was incredibly strong, definitely a fourth-level master.
“I’ve been eager to fight alongside the inspector for a long time, I’m grateful for the opportunity which I dare not ask for.”
