After Ya'en finished recounting everything that had happened, Xuanxu fell silent.
Seeing that Xuanxu was thinking, neither Ya'en nor Lu Ning spoke.
After a moment of silence, Xuanxu spoke up: "Yanbing said we can't go now?"
Ya'en nodded: "Yes, according to Yan Bing, there are survivors of other civilizations in the Ruins of Return. If too many demigod-level experts from humanity go there, they might be wary. Lord Xuanxu, have you heard of the Ruins of Return?"
Xuanxu shook his head: "No, this is the first time I've heard of it either."
Yann was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't say much.
Xuanxu lowered his head and murmured, "The Moon Goddess Cult and the Corruption Mother Nest... these two evil cults are very powerful, and we probably need to pay more attention to them now."
At this point, Xuanxu paused and then said, "We don't know anything about the Land of Return to the Void. Going there with Yanbing might be dangerous. Whether you want to go or not is up to you. If you don't want to go, we'll find someone else."
Yaen shook his head and said seriously, "This concerns the fate of humanity, so we are naturally willing. When Yan Bing was talking to us, Osiris, Aishalin, and I had already decided to go, and Lu Ning did the same."
Seeing Ya En say this, Xuan Xu nodded slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand, and several pieces of glass that were floating in the air flew over and landed in his hand.
He handed the lenses to Lu Ning and Ya En: "These four lenses contain my power. By injecting your mental energy into them, you can summon a projection of my power. Keep them for your own protection. I'll give you two, and the other two to Osiris and Aishalin."
Ya'en was taken aback, then immediately accepted the gift with a flattered expression, and quickly said, "Thank you, Lord Xuanxu."
Xuanxu is a demigod-level powerhouse, and having been among demigods for so long, his strength must be considerable.
His power projection, at the very least, is at the demigod level, right?
This is equivalent to a single-use extremely dangerous material, and it's not just any ordinary extremely dangerous material!
Such an item, if exchanged for merit, would require a considerable amount of merit.
Unexpectedly, they each received one.
Xuanxu shook his head and said calmly, "You risked your lives for the fate of humanity, and this is my way of helping you."
He then said, "You guys go back and rest for a bit, I need to go out for a bit."
The news that Yann brought back this time was too astonishing, so he had no choice but to meet with the other guardians.
Especially Old Li, hopefully after receiving this information, he can deduce something useful...
Upon hearing Xuanxu's words, Ya'en immediately stood up and said, "Then please continue."
Lu Ning also stood up and put the last fried dough stick in his hand into his mouth.
Ya'en led Lu Ning away and left the room.
After Lu Ning and Ya En left, Xuan Xu rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly: "These are turbulent times, but... the Land of Return to the Void might be of our advantage."
A mirror suddenly appeared beside him, slightly taller than him. Xuanxu stepped into the mirror, and then the mirror shattered and disappeared.
…………
After leaving Xuanxu's room, Ya'en and Lu Ning returned to the first floor.
Afterwards, the two of them left the Mist Bureau headquarters and returned to Arne's manor.
The manor villa of Yann was very quiet, as Osiris and the others had obviously gone to rest.
Ya'en smiled at Lu Ning: "You must be tired after all this time. Take a rest. Yan Bing hasn't said when we're leaving. Rest here for a few days and get your energy back before we set off."
Lu Ning nodded: "Mm."
Lu Ning returned to the room he had stayed in at the manor last time. He took a shower and then lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
Lu Ning's mental energy was indeed greatly depleted during this period.
He didn't know how long he slept, but when he woke up, it was already bright outside.
After washing up, Lu Ning went downstairs and came to the living room.
Lu Ning then saw Osiris and the others sitting in the living room, including Yann.
Seeing Lu Ning come down, Osiris greeted him with a smile, "Lu Ning, you're here? Let's go out for a meal, and then I need to go to headquarters to ask someone to treat my arm."
Osiris lost his arm in the battle at Base City 65, but as a Saint, his physical body is strong and his self-healing ability is naturally very strong.
His injury has almost fully recovered, but it will take some time for his arm to grow back.
The next step is to go to the Land of Return to Nothingness, which will certainly not be easy. He needs to adjust his condition to be at its best.
Not only Osiris, but also Aishaline.
Although she didn't break her arm, her injuries were still quite serious, and she also needed help with treatment.
Lu Ning nodded slightly, while Yann said, "By the way, Osiris, if you go to headquarters, please apply for credit for our work."
Yesterday they were busy reporting on the situation, and after they finished, they were both exhausted, so they didn't apply for anything.
Osiris nodded: "No problem, Aishalin and I will apply together. Is there anything you want to exchange?"
An Lan and the others hesitated for a moment, then shook their heads.
They have accumulated a lot of merit, but they don't have much need for it, since they already have things like soul weapons and soul crystals.
Furthermore, as ninth-tier awakeners, An Lan and the others will not be going to the Ruins of Return with Lu Ning and the others, allowing them some time to recuperate. During this time, there are no particularly scarce items available for exchange.
Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Help me see if my total merits can be exchanged for a special dangerous-grade soul weapon. If so, please exchange it for one. If not, please exchange it for two special dangerous-grade disposable dangerous items."
Upon hearing this, Osiris and the others were all taken aback.
They looked at Lu Ning with some surprise.
"A high-risk, dangerous-grade soul weapon? Don't you have one?" Osiris was a little confused.
Lu Ning nodded: "I want to try using two extremely dangerous soul artifacts."
The extremely dangerous level soul weapon is different from other levels of soul weapons, and has extremely severe side effects.
Lu Ning doesn't need to worry about mental pollution, but he must be careful about the side effects.
The side effects of just one Bloodborne Heart have already kept Lu Ning constantly teetering on the brink of life and death. If he were to get another one, he wasn't sure if he could use it all at once.
However, if possible, it would greatly improve Lu Ning's abilities.
With two extremely dangerous soul artifacts, plus the Crimson Sword and the Crown of Pain, Lu Ning might possess demigod-level combat power!
Once you enter the Ruins of Return, combat power should still be quite useful.
