1375 Returning To The Great World (1/2)

God Territory, Blood Sickle Shelter, Death Sickle headquarters.

A white-haired young man sat in the main seat of the conference room, brows tightly knit. He had preserved an attitude of silence for a while.

Three people including Fallen Star stood before the conference table; they did not dare make a sound.

The three of them had just returned from the Great Heaven Territory, bringing with them the news that Lin Huang had failed to return from there.

”I think that Boss Xie Lin might not necessarily have died in the Great Heaven Territory. He may be still participating in the Great Heaven Trial, so he might not be teleported out at the same time as us.” Destiny was Lin Huang's die-hard fan. He firmly believed that Xie Lin would not just die like that. Seeing that the young man sitting in the main seat had not spoken for a long time, he mustered up his courage and spoke his mind.

The white-haired young man looked up and glanced at the three people. ”Alright. The three of you may go back first. I know everything that I need to know.”

”Yes, Sir Buried Heaven!” The three of them responded and quickly left one after the other.

Buried Heaven did not leave the conference room but looked down at a name in his address book—Xie Lin.

”He initiated the Competitive Trial, defeated the joint forces of Unrivaled God and a few others, took first place in the Trial, obtained the Trial qualifications for the Great Heaven inheritance that no one has activated for more than 300,000 years... You, someone who's produced miracles time and time again, would you really die just like that in the Great Heaven Territory?”

Buried Heaven was not certain whether he was murmuring to himself or Lin Huang.

...

Half a month passed by quickly.

Everyone in Death Sickle had no doubts that Xie Lin had died in the Great Heaven Territory.

Even Destiny, who had always believed that Lin Huang had not died, no longer brought up the ”Xie Lin might still be participating in the Inheritance Trial” excuse.

Buried Heaven, who had his suspicions about whether Lin Huang was still alive or not, also did not hold out any hopes for Xie Lin's survival.

However, early in the morning of this particular day, Buried Heaven was having a meeting with several Gold Sickles when he suddenly received a message from a strange number.

”Iron Fist Shelter, 120 meters from the entrance of the Death Sickle branch, storage cabinet 0613, password 9527. Something that you want is in it.”

Buried Heaven just glanced at it briefly, and then his gaze immediately seemed to be glued to the message.

Although this message was not signed and was from an unfamiliar number, Buried Heaven noticed the words ”Iron Fist Shelter” immediately.

That was the shelter where Xie Lin accepted the mission involving the Bug Tribe Queen Mother!

In Buried Heaven's mind, his first instinct was that this had been sent by Lin Huang.

This was because not many people had his personal number, aside from a few Blood Sickles and a few Gold Sickles with whom he had good relations, as well as a handful of extremely outstanding juniors such as Xie Lin and Fallen Star.

”The rest of you carry on; I have to deal with something that came up last minute.” After he had confirmed that the sender of the message was most probably Xie Lin, Buried Heaven acknowledged the several Gold Sickles that were present before standing up immediately. He summoned a small green snake and teleported away.

In the meeting room, the several Gold Sickles present looked at each other.

This was the first time they had seen Buried Heaven leaving half-way through a meeting.

After a few minutes, Buried Heaven appeared at the front door of the Iron Fist Shelter's Death Sickle branch.

He glanced around and quickly located a locker not very far away.

In a flash, he appeared in front of the locker, his gaze swiftly identifying locker 0613.

Without hesitation, he entered the password provided in the short message.

Once the password was entered, he heard a click and the locker door sprang open automatically.

Inside was a small palm-sized package.

Buried Heaven reached in to retrieve the package, opening it on the spot.
