Chapter 1473: Chapter 1473

After reading the confession, Mr. Sun was quite surprised: "Central State again?"

"Keep a close watch on Jeremy and his son while they are alive, and try to find out when exactly the army of Douglas Country arrives in the Eastern Land."

"Let them use the prohibition methods of the Horizon Bureau, monitor this father and son continuing to contact the protectors of Douglas Country, be careful not to let them leak information to the other side!"

Andrew Oamond agreed: "Don’t worry, sir, there won’t be any mistakes this time!"

However, the search for Edison Lee by Catherine and Leroy Baker has always been fruitless. Mr. Sun used the Communication Talisman to ask, and in the reply from Catherine, there was some confusion: "Sir, you’d better come here yourself, Edison Lee’s abilities are very strange!"

After Edison Lee escaped from the Capital, he completely disappeared! According to the registration on the Dragon Snake List, his background was a small Cultivation family from Lake Mountain Prefecture in the south of the Wood Dynasty. Leroy Baker and Catherine split up, with Catherine continuing to search for traces near the Capital, and Leroy Baker went to Lake Mountain Prefecture, where he found the Lee’s Ancestral Manor at the foot of a small mountain.

However, there was no one in the manor, all the belongings were neatly arranged, and in the backyard, there was a ten-acre Spiritual Field. Tier-3 Spiritual Medicine, Ten Night Flower, and Lagerstroemia indica were all ripe but not harvested.

Leroy Baker investigated locally and found that the Lee family had forty-three members. The neighbors nearby never saw any of them again after Edison Lee went to the capital to participate in the Dragon Snake List competition.

Leroy Baker immediately returned and joined Catherine, using the power of the Horizon Bureau to search for the Lee family. As a result, within just a few days, more than a dozen messages were received from the Horizon Bureau from various places about the possible whereabouts of Edison Lee and the Lee family members.

The two rushed to one of the locations, and after some searching, they indeed saw Edison Lee.

"Water Spirit and I joined forces, and the two of us effortlessly killed the Sixth Great Realm Edison Lee," Leroy Baker told Mr. Sun about Edison Lee’s strangeness as soon as he saw him. "But his corpse melted away right before our eyes! We both released our perception and even opened our Domain, but we still couldn’t figure out how the corpse disappeared."

"Later, we investigated four other reports of finding Lee family members or Edison Lee together. When we found them, they fought to the death and after being killed, their bodies also melted and disappeared like the first one. Even their belongings disappeared without a trace!"

Mr. Sun looked at Predecessor Santa and the latter said with a solemn expression, "This is Master Anthony’s Boundless Virtual Adept Skill! This matter just got troublesome!"

"Even before the Heavenly Track Reversal, the Boundless Virtual Adept Skill was considered one of the top three wicked secrets. It’s not easy for the Ninth Realm to catch the trace of this secret skill. Now, I’m afraid that no one in this world can distinguish the Virtual Response Body created by the Boundless Virtual Adept Skill!"

"This Edison Lee and all the members of the Lee family have become the Virtual Response Bodies of Master Anthony. Anyone who has been in contact with any of these Virtual Response Bodies also has the possibility of becoming a new Virtual Response Body!"

Mr. Sun was puzzled: "Is it possible to create unlimited Virtual Response Bodies?"

"Of course not, back then... the Emperor once guessed that Master Anthony in his prime could maintain 108,000 Virtual Response Bodies. Now the number should be less than half. But you can’t tell who is a Virtual Response Body—that’s the most hateful thing about this evil skill. It makes people suspicious, and as soon as something goes wrong, they suspect that anyone around them is Master Anthony’s Virtual Response Body!"

"Master Anthony’s temperament is odd, and his Cultivation seems to draw power from the emotions of countless beings in the world. Hence, he is fond of using Virtual Response Bodies to manipulate people’s hearts, and even control the overall situation of the Imperial Court."

"Also, the most outstanding feature of this evil skill is that it does not fear the Emperor’s Dragon Qi. In other words, even the king of a country could be transformed into a Virtual Response Body, although it seems very difficult."

Predecessor Santa gritted his teeth, "How is this old monster still alive, and even awakened earlier than expected!"
