Chapter 60 Forbidden Items!

Inside the conference hall in the capital, the air was so thick it felt like it was about to freeze.

When Pang Lai and the other high-ranking officials of the capital city saw Lu Nian being escorted in, their expressions instantly became quite varied.

Some people gasped, some leaned back instinctively, and some even knocked over their teacups.

Everyone here is well aware of the evil experiments.

This was originally a gray area that everyone tacitly understood, but who would have thought that Chen Yuan, this hothead, not only arrested people, but also took them directly to the Supreme Council, which is simply tearing the fig leaf to shreds!

Pang Lai's temples throbbed. He looked around and saw the evasive or embarrassed looks in his colleagues' eyes. He knew that this matter had to end here.

“Chen Yuan,” Pang Lai’s voice was weary, “This matter ends here.”

In compensation, the council will provide you with all the resources you need for your advancement, including the Soul Seeds and Mind Stones you desire.

A collective gasp filled the meeting room.

Even more astonishing things were yet to come—

"At the same time, you are exceptionally granted an honorary seat as a member of parliament."

These words exploded like a bomb in the conference room.

You should know that every member of parliament here is a super-level powerhouse.
Chen Yuan alone, despite his high rank, obtained this position that countless people dream of.

But now no one dares to raise any objections.

The most urgent task is to get rid of Lu Nian, this hot potato, and put an end to this farce.

As for what follows
Pang Lai rubbed his temples. He decided to clean up this mess slowly after things calmed down.

If this can win over Chen Yuan, then sacrificing a few resources is worthwhile.

A faint smile played on Chen Yuan's lips as his gaze slowly swept over the assembled dignitaries.

"Esteemed seniors, I apologize for any offense I may have caused today."

He cupped his hands slightly, his tone humble yet composed, "But if I don't take this chance, I'm afraid I'll never have enough resources to break through to the next level in my lifetime."

The meeting room fell silent; everyone understood the underlying meaning in those words.

However, no one wanted to say anything. Everyone wanted to end this matter quickly and then settle scores with Lu Nian!

He naturally accepted the opportunity offered by Pang Lai.

Chen Yuan wisely concealed his sharp edge, displaying just the right amount of respect on his face.

Since the chief has already shown enough sincerity, there is no need for him to continue to be aggressive.

After all, in this industry, you have to know when to quit while you're ahead.

The dust settled, and the tense atmosphere in the meeting room finally dissipated.

Pang Lai walked slowly toward the door, then suddenly stopped and turned back: "Come with me."

Pang Lai's aged voice held a hint of mystery, "Your summoned beast has been found."

Chen Yuan's fingertips trembled slightly.

After a year of waiting, the answer has finally come.

He followed Pang Lai's steps without making a sound, but his gaze involuntarily fell on the old man's slightly hunched back.

What kind of contracted beast did this chief summoner find for him after traveling across the ocean and spending a whole year?

The way forward.

After passing through a deep tunnel, the group finally arrived at a magnificent underground chamber.

The moment they stepped inside, even the most knowledgeable and powerful individuals held their breath—the entire secret chamber was like a dusty treasure trove, displaying countless rare resources that were not even recorded in ancient books.

Magical artifacts exuding an ancient aura, spiritual materials gleaming with a strange luster, and even several secret treasures whose names even the super-elite mages present couldn't recall.
“It seems,” Chen Yuan’s gaze narrowed slightly as he lightly stroked an ancient magical artifact covered in inscriptions, “that the waters of the capital are much deeper than I imagined.”

"Over the past year, I have traveled to many countries and devoted countless efforts to finally finding a summon beast that will satisfy you."

Pang Lai's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes gleamed with barely concealed excitement.

"Oh? What could possibly excite Elder Pang so much?"

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, his curiosity fully piqued. "What kind of rare item is it?"

Pang Lai smiled mysteriously, suppressed his emotions, and shook his head with feigned profundity:

"No rush, you'll find out soon enough."

After saying that, he led Chen Yuan forward, their footsteps echoing in the deep passage.

Before long, the two finally reached the end of the secret room.

The sight before him caused Chen Yuan's pupils to shrink slightly.

The entire secret chamber was made of the finest obsidian, with dark golden patterns flowing across the walls, each pattern containing ancient magical energy fluctuations.

What's even more astonishing is that the bricks and stones paving the ground are made of rare star sand, gleaming with a faint silver light in the dim light.

"This place..." Chen Yuan couldn't help but reach out and touch the wall. The energy emanating from his fingertips sent a shiver through him. "I bet even a random piece of rock could fetch an astronomical price at an auction house."

Pang Lai laughed loudly upon hearing this: "It's not just rubble! Even these seemingly insignificant fragments on the ground are treasures that the major families would fight tooth and nail for outside!"

Chen Yuan's gaze suddenly froze on the magic circle in the center of the secret room.

The dark silver array patterns outlined intricate star trails, and the flowing magic faintly revealed a sense of familiarity that made his heart tremble.

That faint but powerful pressure was just like the ancient aura I felt when I made a pact with the ancient sword demon!

"It seems you've already noticed the special features of this magic circle."

Pang Lai stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming with pride.

With a light tap of his fingertip, the magic circle instantly burst forth with dazzling starlight, causing the energy of the entire secret chamber to vibrate.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, a playful smile curving his lips: "Interesting. A work that could take Elder Pang a year to complete is indeed extraordinary."

Clearly, this thing has already gained Chen Yuan's approval.

You should know that he currently has three contracted creatures.

The ancient sword demon, the pure-blooded phoenix, and the scapegoat—each of them is capable of crushing a pure-blooded true dragon.

The value of a summoning circle that could move even him is self-evident.

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Pang Lai's eyes as he slowly stroked the spatial runes flowing along the edge of the magic circle, his voice unconsciously lowering:

"I traded three ancient relics for this treasure from an old friend."

A silver light suddenly burst from his fingertips, activating the core of the magic array.

Instantly, countless spatial rifts intertwined and flickered within the sealed chamber, as if to tear a hole in reality.

"This is a void teleportation array, connected to a special entity."

Pang Lai's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"The Void Beast race neither inhabits the Summoning Plane, nor does it possess an independent plane like the Thousand Races Elf Tower or the Valley of Ten Thousand Dragons."

A distorted projection of starry sky suddenly appeared in the center of the magic circle, and Pang Lai's hair and beard moved without wind:

"They are extraterrestrial visitors who roam the cracks between planes, truly forbidden beings that even true dragons must avoid!"
