Chapter 1671 Charging

Demonic Neonate had just swallowed the purple crystal when her grayish-purple irises darkened. In a moment, they turned dark-purple.

Before Zhou Wen could carefully size her up, she automatically transformed into a dark beam of light that returned to him.

Zhou Wen sensed that Demonic Neonates consciousness was gradually blurring. Zhou Wen had experienced this many times. It was a sign that she was about to evolve.

He reached out to pick up the white object on the ground and held it in his hand to stroke it.

Zhou Wen had definitely never seen it before, but its outer sh.e.l.l was almost identical to Zhou Wens mysterious phone. Be it the color or texture, there was no difference.

Zhou Wen took out the mysterious phone and wanted to compare them to see if the two materials were identical. To his surprise, just as the mysterious phone touched the white object, the white objects string seemed to be like a magnet and stuck to the end of the mysterious phone.

The mysterious phones screen automatically lit up, revealing a battery charging animation.

This Zhou Wen was momentarily rendered speechless in surprise as he looked in the direction of the ancient well. His expression changed as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Ever since he obtained the mysterious phone, he hadnt charged it at all. The mysterious phone didnt need to be charged either. There wasnt even a charging port.

However, this thing was actually charging. The battery icon on the screen showed that the battery was only at 1%. Zhou Wen didnt know whether there was a difference between having the mysterious phone charged or not. This wasnt the problem he was most concerned about.

Zhou Wens father had explained the origins of the phone very clearly. It was dug out by Zhou Wens grandfather from an ancient well in Guide Ancient City, but Zhou Wens father wasnt too sure which ancient well it came from.

From the looks of it, the object was clearly something that came with a phone. It was most likely a portable charger.

Could it be that the mysterious phone was dug out from this ancient well? Countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Wens mind as he looked at the charging phone. His expression became even more complicated.

He thought of a possibility. If the mysterious phone was really dug out from this ancient well, could the skeleton be his grandfathers remains?

Zhou Wen had seen the strength of the necklace with his own eyes. With Demonic Neonates strength, it was difficult for her to injure it at all.

Zhou Wen could roughly guess that his strike probably couldnt injure the necklace, but when he approached it, the necklace automatically opened.

When the skeleton dissipated, it seemed to have released its grip, allowing the portable charger to fall. He also felt his heart palpitate just as he was about to slash down.

These abnormal developments made Zhou Wen wonder if the skeleton had done it on purpose. If the skeleton was really Zhou Wens grandfathers remains, all of this could be explained.

However, Zhou Wen recalled that his grandfather hadnt gone missing, nor had he been buried. He had been cremated when he pa.s.sed away. The young Zhou Wen had even partic.i.p.ated in the funeral, so it was unlikely that he had left his remains behind.

Whats going on? Zhou Wen couldnt figure it out no matter how hard he tried. The skeleton had already dissipated, so it was impossible to find any clues.

Looking at the charging phone, Zhou Wen had no choice but to wait. He wanted to see what changes would result after the phone was charged. Perhaps there would be clues when the time came.

Could it be more than a coincidence that the mysterious phone was dug out from the ancient city? Seeing that the phones battery had jumped from 1% to 2%, Zhou Wen picked up the phone and attempted to use it. He realized that he couldnt use the phone at all as it remained on the charging screen.

Old Zhou, what are you doing? Li Xuan shouted as he pushed open the door and walked in.

Many things had happened in Guide Ancient City recently. Zhou Wen was the kind of boss who left everything to others. Most of the work was coordinated by Li Xuan.

When did you arrive? Zhou Wen asked Li Xuan.

Not long ago. Why? Li Xuan looked at Zhou Wen in puzzlement.

Did you hear anything or see anything? Zhou Wen asked again. Are you talking about your yard? Did a spy barge in? I didnt hear or see anything. Li Xuan immediately sized up the yard warily, but he didnt discover anything.

No, didnt you see the light rus.h.i.+ng out of the ancient well? Zhou Wen recounted the skeletons appearance, but he didnt mention the portable charger. It wasnt easy to explain.

According to what you said, I should have been able to see it from afar. However, I didnt see anything just now. Guide Ancient City is indeed a little odd. I dont know if its a blessing or a curse for us to occupy this place. I hope nothing bad will happen. Li Xuan paused before continuing, Theres something I need to discuss with you. The Niten Flying Immortal Palace from overseas has contacted us and wants to migrate to Guide Ancient City. What do you think?

Zhou Wen thought for a moment before recalling Sei Gasakai. After some thought, he said, Although the Niten Flying Immortal Palace established by Sei Gasakai is an overseas faction, it hasnt had much of a conflict with the mainland. It has always been neutral. Furthermore, in this era, be it overseas or the mainland, they are all a part of humanity. We are also in need of manpower now. If there arent any unresolvable grudges between us, theres no harm in taking them in.

Thats what I thought too. However, theres still some tiny trouble, Li Xuan said with a smile.

What trouble? Zhou Wen asked with a frown.

The Niten Flying Immortal Palace had already wanted to move inland some time ago. The six families and some major factions were very interested in them and had contacted them. Furthermore, they offered pretty good conditions. Those conditions even tempted me when I heard them, but for some reason, they rejected them all and took the initiative to contact us. They wanted to move to our place, but the conditions they raised were far inferior to the conditions the six families gave them. Li Xuan paused to give Zhou Wen some time to digest.

Are you suspecting their motives? Zhou Wen asked.

A little, but thats not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Family Clan of G.o.ds seems to be determined to rope in the Niten Flying Immortal Palace. Not only did they actively contact them again and offer better conditions, but they also used their connections to tactfully express their wish for us to reject the Niten Flying Immortal Palace. Li Xuan recounted the entire matter.

Who did they find? Zhou Wen said after some thought.

Someone from your family. Li Xuan didnt say it directly.

The An family? Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback.

Yes, but Brother Sheng contacted me. He said that theres no need to worry too much. If theres a need, we can directly take in the people from the Niten Flying Immortal Palace, Li Xuan added.

When Zhou Wen heard that, he roughly understood that the Family Clan of G.o.ds had definitely exerted pressure on the An family.
