Chapter 1021: Heading to the Judgment Department
Su Chen naturally didn't know what happened later in Yun Ya Residence, nor did he know that the woman playing the zither had actually been watching him all along.
To him, tonight's incident was just a minor episode and he didn't take it to heart.
When he arrived home, it was already past ten o'clock. Lin Ruoxue was on the bed reading a fashion magazine, while Su Chen took a shower before going to bed to rest...
.......
Time flies, and seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye!
During this period, apart from visiting Xia Qiuru and Du Hanbing once respectively, Su Chen spent almost all of his time cultivating at home!
On the afternoon of the eighth day, with a tremor in his body, he finally unlocked the last key node on the fifth meridian. The vast True Yuan inside him surged violently, calming down after a while!
"Finally broke through!"
Su Chen murmured to himself, looking at his sweat-drenched body, he went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, he drove to the manor to meet Qi Meng!
Since he had already broken through to the Fifth Layer of the Meridian Expansion Realm, next he was planning to take a trip to the Judgment Department!
"Are you really going to the Judgment Department?"
Qi Meng was startled when she heard Su Chen say he was going to the Judgment Department tomorrow!
Although he had expressed his intention to destroy the Judgment Department before, Qi Meng couldn't help feeling scared when he truly planned to go!
After all, in her heart, the Judgment Department was still an invincible existence!
"Of course."
Su Chen said.
"Why not wait a little longer?"
Qi Meng couldn't help but suggest, mainly worried about Su Chen's safety.
"I won't wait; this matter needs to be resolved eventually."
Su Chen said, although he wasn't entirely confident, he didn't want to keep procrastinating on this issue.
Moreover, now that he had advanced to the Fifth Layer of the Meridian Expansion Realm, equivalent to the peak late stage of an ordinary martial artist, it gave him considerable confidence!
After all, during his previous confrontation, the Right Priest was just a tiny step away from reaching the Meridian Expansion Peak. He thought that even if the High Priest was stronger, he wouldn't be too excessive, right?!
"Alright then."
Seeing that Su Chen seemed determined, Qi Meng reluctantly nodded, although she was very worried in her heart!
After talking to Qi Meng, Su Chen went back, bought some groceries while passing the market.
Around eight in the evening, Lin Ruoxue also arrived home.
"Honey, are you hungry? Let's eat quickly."
Su Chen took her bag and handed her a pair of slippers.
"I am indeed hungry."
Lin Ruoxue said as she changed into slippers and sat down at the dining table.
"By the way, honey, I'm going out tomorrow."
While eating, Su Chen casually said.
"Where are you going again?"
Upon hearing he was going out again, Lin Ruoxue's heart tightened, and she put down her chopsticks to ask.
"Abroad, this time it won't take long, I'll be back in a few days."
Su Chen said casually.
"Alright, pay attention to your safety, safety first!"
Hearing that it was just a few days, Lin Ruoxue felt a little relieved and nodded.
Actually, she wasn't completely reassured, but she understood that her husband wasn't an ordinary person and the things he needed to do could not be stopped by her!
"Don't worry, it's just a small issue."
Su Chen said with a relaxed smile, and continued eating...
.....
Early the next day, Su Chen went to the manor, and then boarded the luxurious helicopter he had bought together with Qi Meng and Qian Ying!
When Qian Ying returned to the manor last night and heard from Qi Meng that Su Chen was going to the Judgment Department, she wanted to go along.
Su Chen thought it over; she was already at the Meridian Expansion Seventh Layer Realm, so he agreed.
As for Lin Ruoxue's safety, he entrusted it to Yan Xi, who is now at the First Layer of the Meridian Expansion Realm, which should be enough in the general situation.
Furthermore, they were only leaving for a few days.
Although both Qi Meng and Qian Ying knew that Su Chen had a helicopter parked on the helipad not far behind the manor, it was their first time flying in it!
Once inside, both were stunned by the luxury!
"There are drinks in the bar, feel free to have some if you'd like."
Su Chen said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Qi Meng immediately opened the bar and was amazed to find a variety of good drinks inside!
She promptly took out a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses and began drinking with Qian Ying on the brown leather sofa.
Meanwhile, Su Chen had sat down in the pilot's seat and started operating the controls; in no time, the helicopter gently ascended...
...
According to Qi Meng, the headquarters of the Judgment Department was located in a gorge between Europe and Africa, very hidden and almost unknown!
The reason for bringing Qi Meng was precisely because she knew the location; her purpose on this trip was merely to guide the way, as her cultivation was still too low!
Despite sounding far away from Yandu in Huaxia to the Europe-Africa junction, the direct distance was just about seven thousand kilometers.
With the flight range of Su Chen's helicopter, a stop for refueling was enough, quite convenient!
After nearly twenty hours of flight, they finally reached the large gorge!
Su Chen found a relatively flat place and landed the helicopter.
"Qi Meng, you stay in the helicopter, wait for us to return."
After landing, Su Chen said to Qi Meng.
"Yes, you walk forward a few kilometers, then pass through a narrow gorge, and you will see a grand temple-like building, which is the headquarters of the Judgment Department."
Qi Meng pointed at a gorge up ahead that was already visible.
She understood that given her current strength, insisting on accompanying them would be pointless and only pose a hindrance!
"Got it."
Su Chen nodded and prepared to disembark the helicopter with Qian Ying.
"You both must be extremely careful."
Qi Meng said worriedly, fearing not only for Su Chen but also very much for Qian Ying!
Having lived together with Qian Ying in the manor for so long, she had already become friends, even close friends, as there were only the two of them in the manor.
"Don't worry, Qi Meng, we will be alright."
Qian Ying smiled, while Su Chen gave her a reassuring glance, then disembarked with Qian Ying.
Not long after they had set off, they reached the gorge Qi Meng had mentioned, and they did not pause, continuing onward!
This gorge was very tall; when looking up, only a streak of sky was visible!
The surroundings were very quiet, and the lighting was dim when traversing this area. Those with faint hearts might even feel a bit eerie!
However, for Su Chen and Qian Ying, this was no concern at all!
After walking almost tens of kilometers, they were approaching the gorge's exit!
"Who goes there?!"
At this moment, a sharp shout emerged from the exit, and two figures appeared!
Upon seeing these two, Qian Ying immediately vanished and reappeared in front of them, a sword swung, and both fell!
These two were only at the Meridian Expansion First and Second Layers, posing no challenge for Qian Ying!
The occurrence happened so swiftly that the sentries guarding the gorge exit had no time to sound the alarm!
As Su Chen and Qian Ying walked out of the gorge, the lighting quickly brightened!
Su Chen looked up to see not far away a magnificent temple-like structure, looking incredibly solemn and imposing...
