Chapter 960
The Shadow Canyon was approximately 150 kilometers away from where Ge Nan lived .
The reason this place was called Shadow Canyon was because of its unusual magnetic field that caused dark clouds to form above the canyon all year long . There was hardly any sunlight; the place seemed to be eternally hiding in the shadows .
Due to the special magnetic field, the area within the canyon would weaken detective abilities such as the Territory skill . Even imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses would find that their territory was heavily interfered with or even blocked if they were to investigate this area from tens of kilometers away .
Shi Qiang picked this place as the assembly point on purpose to prevent exposing their trail of the hunt this time, preventing any candidates from escaping .
At approximately 11 . 20 a . m . , Shi Qiang arrived at the entrance of the Shadow Canyon . He was ten minutes early .
More than 40 people gathered at the entrance . Their combat strength ranged from imperial-level black gold-rank to imperial-level yellow gold-rank, and most of them were talking to familiar faces . Upon seeing that Shi Qiang was there, they greeted him with a smile . Some of them began voicing their doubts after greeting him .
"Brother Qiang, could you tell us exactly what's going on?"
"Brother Qiang, does this have something to do with the candidates since you've gathered so many people this time?"
Shi Qiang glanced through the people there . He had greeted at least 50 people . The bulk of them were present although there were still 11 of them who had yet to arrive . Looking at the time, he did not rush things since there were still ten more minutes to the agreed time .
"Don't worry . I'll tell you what's happening when everyone is here . "
The other ten arrived one after another not long later .
Two imperial-level white gold-ranks were the last to arrive . They did not seem to want to be there earlier than the agreed time .
However, Shi Qiang frowned slightly after the two arrived because his good buddy Ge Nan did not make it .
"Old Shi, I guess everyone's here, hmm?" asked a bald man, glancing at the time and raising his brow . He was one of the two imperial-level white gold-rank people who arrived last .
"One more person isn't here yet…" Shi Qiang shook his head . "But he's the one who provided the information anyway, so we can talk about the mission first .
"It's Ge Nan who provided the information this time . Perhaps some of you know him . He contacted me this morning all of a sudden, saying that a team of candidates attacked him . He told me that he might not be the only one who was attacked . From my investigation, indeed, there are five other imperial-level yellow gold-rank powerhouses in his area who have lost contact . They might've been killed by the candidates .
"According to the information he provided, there are more than 100 people among this bunch of candidates . There's an Imperial Censor who is leading them, and he has a couple of imperial-level yellow gold-rank summoning beats . "
"More than 100 candidates?! How is it possible that they gathered so fast? I thought it's only been half a day since the Royal Trials began . " The bald man raised a question, "How could you believe this kind of ridiculous news?"
"That's not entirely impossible . After all, the Royal Trials are connected to hundreds of worlds if not 1,000 at the moment . Maybe they're connected to some huge organization from some massive world that's willing to spend on training Dynasty members . "
"To some major organizations, it's easy for them to get a god-level or even true god-level group dimensional portal to transport them to the targeted coordinates . Moreover, an immortal-level Imperial Censor who can cross ranks and control imperial-level yellow gold-rank imperial monsters must be the best of the best among Imperial Censors . If I'm in the high management of that organization, I'd be willing to spend to train such a person . " The other man with almond-shaped eyes who was standing beside him offered a different opinion . He had a combat strength of imperial-level white gold-rank, which was the same as the bald man .
After expressing his opinion, the man with the almond-shaped eyes looked at Shi Qiang . "But, Old Shi, are you sure you can trust that information provider called Ge Nan?"
