Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1185 - 1181: Aftermath

Shen Siyuan stood at the edge of the cliff, his gaze sweeping over the sea’s white trail of panic-stricken escape. The Jiguang destroyer was like a startled bird, and even from dozens of nautical miles away, Shen Siyuan could clearly perceive it through the Primordial Magnetic field.

The Primordial Magnetic stream flickered slightly at his fingertips, yet he had no intention of giving chase. Perhaps someday they’d be on the same side, so he’d spare them for now.

However, staying here was no longer an option. The Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword in his hand suddenly erupted in brilliant radiance, five-colored lights intertwining to form a rainbow spanning the sky and earth.

Bearing his silhouette, like an arrow leaving the bowstring, it sliced through the sea’s airflow, dashing towards Bin Hai.

The speed of the sword was at its peak; the hundred-mile sea area was crossed in mere moments.

The clouds in the sky were pierced by the radiant light, as if a curtain sliced open by a blade.

The passing fishermen on boats only caught a glimpse of a multicolored light streaking across the sky, pausing in awe until the rainbow vanished at the distant horizon, leaving them chattering as if waking from a dream.

Almost as Shen Siyuan set foot on the land of Bin Hai City District, the global intelligence centers of major powers went into a frenzy.

In the emergency meeting room of the Washington Pentagon, the projection screen repeatedly played the satellite-captured footage.

Although the images weren’t very clear due to magnetic field interference, the detected energy waves and subsequent images still conveyed the terrifying power.

Each frame left the military and political leaders present pale-faced and breathless.

"God, what on earth is this?"

The generals, who had just been clamoring to dispatch a carrier battle group, now found their throats tight, unable to utter a word.

In the face of such power, the carrier battle group might just be lambs to the slaughter.

Big Goose Underground Command Center.

"Find out what this is immediately; is the energy reaction analysis ready?"

The intelligence director, sweat on his brow, shook his head: "Satellites only captured energy spikes far exceeding any existing weapon, source unknown, target locked on East Asia, Bin Hai City..."

For a moment, nations globally focused their attention on the incident.

Meanwhile, in Shen Siyuan’s home in Bin Hai, the serenity of the balcony had long been disrupted.

Zhong Xiaonan’s phone had been ringing non-stop, the screen flashing with numbers from the Envoy Bureau headquarters, even higher levels.

She had just picked up a call when a hurried voice yelled from the receiver, "Xiao Nan, have you reached Mr. Shen? Did he do it?"

"I’m still waiting for him to come back, haven’t seen him yet." Zhong Xiaonan said into the phone, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

Continuous calls left her overwhelmed, each inquiring about Shen Siyuan’s whereabouts, what exactly happened, and why he acted.

As she looked at the constant missed call notifications popping up on her phone screen, her scalp tingled. Never did she imagine that a simple task would spark such a wave.

Amid her frazzled state, the phone rang again, this time it was the exclusive number of Envoy Bureau Director Wu Xing.

Zhong Xiaonan took a deep breath, pressed accept, and the urgent voice of Director Wu Xing came through the receiver: "Xiao Nan, if you see Mr. Shen, tell him I’ve arranged a private jet, taking off in half an hour, hoping to meet him in person..."

"Director, you..."

Zhong Xiaonan wanted to say more, but Wu Xing interrupted: "No need to ask more. Just contact Mr. Shen at your own pace, keep a close watch on the surrounding situation, report immediately if you spot agents from other powers, and don’t act rashly..."

Upon hanging up, Zhong Xiaonan helplessly collapsed onto the rattan chair, her heart pounding relentlessly.

She looked up to the distant sky and saw that rainbow spanning the sky and earth.

Although it wasn’t the first time, each sight left her in awe—is this something a human can do?

At this moment, Shen Siyuan quietly appeared on the balcony.

He sheathed the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword, the radiance fading, his figure returning to normal, as if he wasn’t the one who had just shocked the world over a hundred nautical miles.

Zhong Xiaonan abruptly stood, facing the suddenly appeared Shen Siyuan, her throat tight, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She wanted to ask so much, yet didn’t know where to begin, standing there in a daze.

Meanwhile, high above at ten thousand meters, the private jet carrying Wu Xing had already taken off, racing towards Binhai.

In the cabin, Wu Xing was looking at more pictures from the satellite, growing more and more astonished.

"When did you arrive?" Shen Siyuan asked Zhong Xiaonan with a smile, as if everything earlier hadn’t involved him.

"I’ve been here for a while, no, I just got here..." Zhong Xiaonan stammered a bit.

"Why so nervous, sit and talk." Shen Siyuan said with a smile.

Then he took a seat opposite her.

Xiao Yue at this point closed her book and said to Shen Siyuan, "I’ll leave you to talk and go back to my room."

"Go ahead."

Shen Siyuan nodded, turning his gaze back to Zhong Xiaonan.

Zhong Xiaonan nervously handed her phone to Shen Siyuan.

"Was this all your doing?"

On the phone were photos of Shen Siyuan’s recent display of might.

"You found out so quickly?" Shen Siyuan was a bit surprised.

"Actually, ever since that last commotion you caused, satellites from every country have been aimed here, the slightest movement gets detected." Zhong Xiaonan explained.

Shen Siyuan was enlightened upon hearing this and jokingly said: "Looks like I need to find another place to stay."

"Really? Where do you want to move, I can arrange it for you." Zhong Xiaonan asked with excitement.

"Haha, I was just saying, haven’t made any plans yet."

"Oh." Zhong Xiaonan sounded a bit disappointed.

Shen Siyuan understood why Zhong Xiaonan had come looking for him.

Somewhat embarrassed, he said: "This time the commotion was indeed a bit much, help me tell the Director."

Zhong Xiaonan hurriedly responded: "Our Director is already on his way to Binhai, hoping to meet you in person."

"Oh? Traveling all the way here to see me, is that necessary?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"Of course, you don’t know how big this has gotten; if not handled well, it could spark international disputes." Zhong Xiaonan quickly replied.

"What disputes? Personal matters shouldn’t escalate to a national level, just insist you know nothing. Everything needs evidence..."

Shen Siyuan tapped the phone screen on the table.

"These are not admissible as evidence."

Due to the magnetic field, most of these photos were blurry, not capturing his specific appearance.

"Besides, it happened beyond the sea, what concern is it of yours?"

"You make a point." Zhong Xiaonan chuckled hearing this.

"However, you should still have a chat with our Director; I don’t understand the political games."

"Alright, I’ll wait for him at home, let him come to me directly." Shen Siyuan didn’t refuse the meeting with Wu Xing.

"By the way, in the meantime, you should be extra cautious." Zhong Xiaonan added.

"Considering your comings and goings make such a grand spectacle pointing to Binhai, during this time, spies from various countries will undoubtedly swarm in, bringing endless trouble."

"Speaking of which, what about the commotion I caused last time, didn’t foreign agents come to Binhai to investigate?"

"Of course, and quite a few, but most were dealt with by our comrades."

"Extend my thanks to them, and if there’s anything I can help with, just say the word." Shen Siyuan said.

Clearly, Shen Siyuan’s peaceful and content days were much due to the efforts of those on the front lines.

"Thank you, we’ll discuss this once the Director arrives." Zhong Xiaonan replied.

She couldn’t make decisions on these matters herself.
