Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Nasida thought for a moment, "Let's go and take a look at where they are being held."

Under Nasita's guidance, the documents were rearranged to their original positions, exactly as they had been before.

The two left the Great Sage's office as if they had never been there.

The fact that the two sages were not imprisoned was far too obvious and would easily be noticed as an anomaly.

With Nasida, a humanoid computer that had recorded the overall terrain of the Church of Christ, they easily located the two sages.

The two sages were imprisoned in two separate places, with the doors locked from the outside and guarded by mercenaries.

However, the entrance was now empty, and the mercenaries guarding it had gone back to sleep.

Upon entering the cell, the sage, carrying the Void Terminal, was fast asleep on the bed.

Although their hair has turned gray, their physical condition is much better than that of patients with the Demon Scale Disease. After so many reincarnations, their physical and mental health is still relatively stable.

"Doesn't the Void Terminal still have a communication function? I thought their Void Terminal would be confiscated."

Jiang Bai's Void Terminal has limited functionality and is still under surveillance, but the Sages' is different.

"The Great Sage has the highest authority over the void; he must have shut down Nafis and the others' access."

Nasita extended her finger, and a four-leaf clover mark was gently placed between his eyebrows, quickly disappearing.

"Alright, after that, I can communicate with him directly through dreams."

Nafis is someone who can be won over. The fact that he was imprisoned by the Great Sage is still a secret. Once he comes out, his influence will immediately be evident.

Chapter 713 He was arrested

Another sage, Nasita, followed the same method, leaving a mark before quietly departing.

Jiang Bai had a hunch that a power struggle might erupt in the Academy later on.

The sages of the Shenglun school and the Minglun school who support the Little Auspicious Grass King, and the other four schools of sages, with the Great Sage as the main figure.

Although Naxida's side does not have any advantage in terms of numbers, Naxida is a deity of the Xumi lineage, and her stance is inherently righteous.

The Great Sage secretly colluded with the Fools, causing the lives of people in Mount Sumeru to be disregarded, and even committed all six deadly sins. As soon as these stains are exposed, he will have to step down immediately.

Moreover, if Narcida proves she can heal the World Tree, perhaps some of the Great Sage's allies will turn against her.

Therefore, the win rate is still quite high.

After finishing all this, Jiang Bai sent the Little Auspicious Grass King back to the Pure Goodness Palace and returned to the underground.

"Gudong, go and secretly investigate where the void is."

Their ultimate goal is the Heart of God within the Void Terminal. Now that no one is active underground, it's the perfect time to investigate.

"Goo?" A question mark appeared on the head of Gudong, which popped out from Jiang Bai's body.

What does the void look like?

"Uh... don't worry about what it looks like, just find something that makes you feel like there's a powerful force inside it."

Since it was created with the heart of the Grass God as its core, it is definitely correct to perceive it by the strength of its elemental power.

"Be careful, don't get caught. If you can't find us, come back. Don't stay out too long..."

Jiang Bai was genuinely afraid that Gudu would be discovered, since the Doctor was the second seat, and the prestige of that second seat was undeniable.

Gudu nodded, and the liquid water flowed out.

It's a pity that it can't speak or record what it sees; otherwise, this form would be a great tool for gathering information.

Gudu stealthily headed towards the place where it sensed the strongest elemental power, passing through the crack in the door and arriving at the largest laboratory.

The elemental forces in this laboratory are the strongest, containing both lightning and grass elements.

Gu Dong watched the sages leading the scholars around busily, feeling somewhat bewildered.

With so many large instruments, all imbued with elemental power, which one is the void?

It moved slowly across the ground like a puddle of water, attracting no attention whatsoever.

It stared with its eyes open at the enormous mechanical weapon.

The power there was so strong, almost as strong as Thor's at that time, that it was afraid of it.

It kept its distance from the massive mechanical weapon, its gaze slowly shifting until it landed on a blue-haired person.

Compared to the busy people over there, this human seemed quite relaxed, but he also felt that this human was dangerous.

Just as it was about to look away, the person suddenly turned and looked back.

Gudu froze, then immediately pretended to be dead, acting as if he were just a puddle of water.

Da da da—

The sound of sharp heels hitting the ground drew closer, and the oppressive feeling made Gudu tremble slightly, causing ripples to spread across the water's surface.

Unfortunately, there were no gaps in the nearby ground, so it couldn't penetrate to the next layer.

The doctor looked down at the puddle of water, a hint of interest shining in his eyes hidden behind the bird-beak mask.

"Elemental power? Interesting."

To ordinary people, this puddle of water is inconspicuous, but to someone with great power, once they notice it, they cannot ignore the elemental force that shouldn't be there.

With a flick of his finger, the pool of water that Gudu had transformed into gathered together and drifted uncontrollably toward him, coalescing into the original form of the water sprite.

"Ok?"

The doctor let out a soft exclamation. Even he had never seen a creature that resembled a water sprite, yet was not one.

This sparked his interest in conducting research.

With a wave of his hand, the liquid gurgled into the test tube he had taken out.

Once the bottle was capped, Gudu, who had been grabbed, could no longer hide his terror and struggled to escape.

Unfortunately, this test tube was exceptionally hard, and it couldn't be broken no matter what method was used.

The doctor held the test tube in front of his eyes and gently shook it, a pleased smile curving his lips.

"interesting."

Gudu tentatively gathered water elements from the outside world, but the doctor gently tapped his finger, and the newly gathered water elements instantly vanished.

Under the increasingly interested gaze of the doctor, Gu Dong trembled.

How terrifying! Master, help me!

Jiang Bai waited and waited in the room, but Gu Dong didn't come back, which gave him a bad feeling.

Could Gudu have really been discovered?

Is he really that jinxed?

How do we find it now?

Leaving it unattended is definitely out of the question; who knows if Gudu might be in danger?

Jiang Bai paced around the room for a while before starting to search through the Sanqing Bell.

He took out a bottle of ink and began to color his hair, while also dyeing his face a darker shade.

Then he changed into a black night outfit, put on sunglasses that obscured his eye color, covered his face, and pretended to be a treasure-hunting gang.

After tidying up, he conjured a stone statue on the bed that was the same size as himself, covered himself with a blanket, put on the Void, and then took out a white wig and covered himself with it.

As long as no one gets close enough to lift the covers, no one will notice anything unusual about the bed.

He gently closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, obvious traces of elements appeared in his field of vision.

Gudu is a pure water element creature, and the traces of its element left behind in the places it has passed through are still very obvious.

Jiang Bai followed the gurgling sound to the door of the huge laboratory where the soldiers were located.

"Inside?"

Jiang Bai originally didn't plan to go inside to take a look. After all, the enemy was in the open while he was in the dark, and any meaningless rash action would expose him.

All he needs to do is observe the situation and seize the opportunity to make the stragglers into gods without letting them be controlled.

But now, the disappearance of Gudu has forced him to change his plans.

If Gudu is captured, the Doctor will immediately know that another force is spying on this place, and will inevitably become much more vigilant.

He wasn't sure how effective this disguise would be; it was merely a patch to prevent the Order of the Fathers from associating it with him.

Jiang Bai stood at the entrance for a while, pondering whether it was better to force his way in or find another entrance.

After thinking it over, Jiang Bai decided to find another entrance.

Gudu may not have been caught, but if he forces his way in, it will be difficult for him to get out safely.

You know, the PhD might be inside.

To accommodate the massive mechanical weaponry, this laboratory was naturally enormous. Jiang Bai searched around and found a ventilation duct.

The ventilation duct was rather narrow, and Jiang Bai squeezed his way in with difficulty, trying not to make any noise.

Once above the laboratory, the view below is unobstructed.

Various instruments were placed next to the mechanical armor, and several sages were present.

Jiang Bai's gaze shifted and landed on the Heart of God, which was being channeled with power.

What is this doing?

Chapter 714 Who exactly are you?

Is it about channeling the power of the heart of God into mechanical weapons?

Once all the power of the Heart of God has been extracted, won't the Heart of God just be an empty shell?

It's just an empty shell; even if you manage to borrow it, it's useless.

Jiang Bai was somewhat unhappy that the final safety net plan had failed.

His gaze kept shifting, trying to find Gudong's figure.

However, the elemental traces on Gudu's body finally stopped at an open space and then disappeared.

"Ok?"

What's going on? Did it seep through a crack in the ground and escape?

Not quite like it.

His gaze swept around and landed on the blue-haired figure who seemed out of place among the people at the coaching academy.

Could this person be the PhD?

Wearing a white lab coat and a bird-beak mask, he certainly fits the image of someone codenamed "Doctor."

The doctor seemed to be very sensitive to gazes. Jiang Bai's gaze lingered for only a moment before he noticed it and looked up in their direction.

Jiang Bai immediately pulled his head back out of the gap in the ventilation duct.

His heart sank slightly.

Gudu has probably already discovered this terrifying insight, and we must prepare for the worst.

Jumping down to confront him directly is not a good option.

First of all, he is very likely to lose.

Secondly, the sages' extraction of power from the Heart of God is clearly not yet complete, and it is difficult to predict what the consequences would be if it were suddenly interrupted.

Those sages probably didn't discover Gudu, otherwise they wouldn't be so focused on their work; they would at least have assigned a few people to keep watch on the surroundings.

Therefore, the most likely scenario is that Gudu is now in the hands of that person who is suspected to be a doctor.

Based on the information he currently has about the PhD, he is a very capable researcher.

Jiang Bai didn't know if Gu Dong was the only water spirit in the world, but it was undoubtedly a very special creature.

Perhaps, Gudu has sparked the doctor's research desire.

In this way, once the experiment here is over, the professor will probably take Gudu back to his own lab to study Gudu.
