After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person-Chapter 529 Peer Into Human Hearts

The Heavenly Master turned his head and thrust the map into Chen Yu’s hands.

"Young man, it seems the future of our Daoist sect rests in your hands."

Chen Yu’s face was full of frustration. It was just about exterminating a minor sect, why had everyone else given up?

He subconsciously extended his system’s overlay.

Although many people on the mountain were supernaturally gifted, most Sect Leaders were just ordinary people, and scanning their brain information was quite easy.

"Who would have thought that after so many years, the test is still the same, clearly not wanting us to become helmsmen."

"That place is incredibly dangerous, whoever goes dies!"

"The southern border is rife with poisonous miasmas; who would be foolish enough to risk their life for the position of helmsman?"

"Divine Eagle Sect is not to be trifled with; their Sect Leader has killed who knows how many of our Daoist Sect Leaders?"

...

Chen Yu suddenly understood why the Heavenly Master had agreed so readily to release the test; it turned out that no one dared to go.

Jing Shan, who had been standing by the side, stepped forward and presented a kirin seal.

"Sect Leader Chen, this is the helmsman’s seal. If you can complete the mission within a month, this seal will be yours!"

Chen Yu was extremely frustrated; this was absolutely like forcing a duck onto a perch.

Just as he was considering how to refuse, the Heavenly Master and all the Daoist elders suddenly knelt down.

"Young man, Divine Eagle Sect is the greatest cancer in this world, even more detestable than the Knights of the Round Table. The Daoist sect has long wished to eradicate them, but we can’t even get into the outskirts of their town."

A look of doubt crossed Chen Yu’s face.

"That’s impossible! With all the experts among the Daoists, how can they not break through a mere small town?"

The Heavenly Master sighed helplessly.

"That place is protected by a Formation, and with the local favorable conditions, a poison gas is released. Anyone who enters the town falls into the Illusory Realm. If they can’t break through that layer of illusion, they can only wait for death!"

Chen Yu took a moment to regulate his breathing. His physical constitution had already surpassed human limits by twice, and something like poison gas couldn’t hurt him at all.

Truth be told, he really was the prime candidate for this task.

Looking at the kneeling Heavenly Masters before him, Chen Yu was moved by compassion. If he didn’t agree now, these old men might well kneel to death right here.

"Alright then, I agree. I’ll set out after I’ve made arrangements for my wife and children."

The Heavenly Master stood up excitedly, grabbing Chen Yu’s arm.

"There’s no time! You must depart as soon as possible. As for your wife and children, we’ll arrange things for them."

No sooner had his words fallen than a helicopter descended from the sky, landing in the plaza.

Chen Yu suddenly felt he had been bamboozled, as if everything had been prearranged.

But at this point, it would be hard to refuse, so he could only board the aircraft.

Sacred Mountain was already situated in the south, not far from the southern rivers.

The helicopter was in the southern border in less than three hours, but as it hovered over a small town, the helicopter suddenly stopped.

"Sect Leader Chen, there’s no place to land below, so you’ll have to trouble yourself to jump down from here!"

Chen Yu immediately wanted to curse; from such a height, even someone trained in dance from a young age would crash terribly.

"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to get me killed?"

The pilot grinned, chuckling twice.

"Sect Leader Chen, you must be joking. Many Sect Leaders in the Daoist sect can safely descend from such heights! You were chosen by the elders, such a height is nothing to you."

Chen Yu sighed helplessly, as he still felt a bellyful of frustration boiling inside him.

Without fussing further, he opened the helicopter door and leapt out.

After landing steadily, the helicopter took off into the distance.

Chen Yu simply looked up, before making his way into the small town.

The small towns in the southern borderlands each had their own unique features, and this city was a typical tourist city.

Built against a mountain, with picturesque scenery, a small river flowed slowly along the mountain range. An array of guest houses lined the riverbank, and distinctive cuisine could be seen everywhere you turned; the rich aromas nearly filled the entire city.

Chen Yu didn’t bother with the details and casually sat down at a food stall, ordering two bowls of brain flowers.

It had to be said that the pig brain delicacy here was unparalleled; Chen Yu had caught its fragrance while on the helicopter.

Just as he was wolfing down his meal, he suddenly noticed a young girl of about ten standing by the roadside, shaking a tin can that clearly jingled with the sound of coins.

Chen Yu frowned, wondering how in this day and age there were still people begging in the streets.

However, the girl’s clothes were neat and didn’t really fit the image of a beggar.

He unconsciously extended his system’s coverage, only to have it repelled by a magnetic field.

Chen Yu felt somewhat helpless; ever since he had discovered the existence of individuals with supernatural powers in this world, he had encountered quite a few of them.

The magnetic field emanating from the little girl standing before him was overwhelmingly powerful.

His system, now upgraded, still couldn’t penetrate it.

After quickly finishing his brain flowers, Chen Yu curiously walked over.

"Little sister, what are you doing here?"

The girl lifted her head, her watery eyes appearing extremely pure.

"Big brother, do you want your fortune told? Just one Gold Coin, and I can answer any question you have."

Only then did Chen Yu realize that the bowl in the girl’s hands was filled with pure gold coins.

Each one was quite heavy, the smallest weighing at least ten grams.

Having no gold with him, Chen Yu placed a gold-embossed jade medallion into her bowl.

The next moment, an extremely powerful magnetic field enveloped them.

[System alert: Detected an unidentified magnetic field.]

[Autonomous defense function activated, magnetic field has been blocked.]

[Anti-surveillance feature launched, scanning the other party’s brain information.]

[Unable to penetrate the magnetic field barrier of the opposing side.]

As the system alert sounded, the girl also seemed startled and unconsciously took a couple of steps back.

"Big brother, do you possess the same abilities as me?"

Chen Yu didn’t try to hide it and reached out to ruffle the little girl’s hair.

"I’m curious, if you have such abilities, why are you reading fortunes on the street? Is someone forcing you?"

The girl’s body quivered slightly, her gaze beginning to shift evasively.

She seemed hesitant about something but lacked the resolve to decide.

After a moment, she clutched her gold coins and fled in panic.

Chen Yu frowned; although he couldn’t see through the young girl’s heart, he was certain that she was under someone’s control.

Without thinking too much, he immediately gave chase.
