Chapter 26: Action (2)

As though he could make out Su Yu’s thoughts, Liu Wenyan observed Su Yu closer. Seeing as the latter was sneaking peeks at him, he couldn’t help but laugh softly. “Why? Are you looking down on your teacher?”

“I’m not.”

“You are!”

“I’m really not!”

“I can see it!”

Liu Wenyan acted like a child at that moment, bent on arguing for a victory. He chuckled. “Just you wait. You’ll understand how I, your teacher, was allowed to participate when the time comes!”

Su Yu didn’t quite understand the meaning behind his words and Liu Wenyan didn’t offer any explanation.

The academy head, on the other hand, had a few things he wanted to say but shut his mouth again after having some thought.

He hoped that there wouldn’t be a need for Liu Wenyan to prove himself. It’d be too much of a pity.

…

In the tall building opposite the academy.

The middle-aged man’s lips quivered slightly. “City guards are out of the city. Other than a portion of them guarding the city gate and city lord’s residence, the others have all gone out to kill the fellows from Bloodfire Sect.”

“What about the Longwu Guards?”

......

The woman asked and the middle-aged man shook his head. “There was no trace of Longwu Guards found.

“Longwu Guards are still within the city. Furthermore… Nanyuan wants to transfer those geniuses away. They are transferring them to Great Xia Prefecture and will leave the day after tomorrow.”

The man reported the information he collected. After that, the woman frowned slightly. “A bait?”

“It is possible.”

The man had some doubts too. “They are evacuating without rhyme or reason, and the order was issued yesterday. It was probably to lure us out. What do you propose we do?”

“Were there any experts who entered Nanyuan City in secret recently?”

“I don’t think so…”

“You don’t think?”

“There’s no way to be sure. We weren’t able to monitor them throughout the day. However, there was no news from the informants either. There wasn’t any in the city lord’s residence and none in Nanyuan Mid-grade Academy.”

The woman fell into a deep ponder before speaking up again, “We can’t let them leave. Although the massacre of Nanyuan Mid-grade Academy will still have its merits, it will be halved if they are gone. The people at the top won’t be satisfied if the genius students of this year’s preparatory class survive.”

“I know,” said the man with some hesitation. “But… Now that the people from Longwu Guards aren’t transferred away, they might be within the academy. It will be troublesome if we act rashly and fail.”

As he was speaking, the communicator at his side rang. The man then picked it up and took a glance. It was a message notification that looked like an advertisement.

However, the man’s expression changed slightly. He then spoke quickly, “Either we cancel the operation, or… we have to hurry! It’s news from Great Xia Prefecture. Liu Wenyan sought help from the Great Xia Civilization Academy today and they have agreed. Very soon, they will dispatch people to fetch these geniuses out of Nanyuan City.”

“Damn it!”

The woman cursed, “Liu Wenyan, this old thing again! He is only a step away from will manifestation, but there isn’t much hope of him crossing over. To think that the Civilization Academy agreed to aid him… he has more ‘face’ than I imagined.”

The man didn’t make a sound. He waited for the woman to be done with her tirade before continuing, “What do we do now? The city lord, Wu Wenhai, and Longwu Guard’s Xia troops are all at the second level of the Soaring Realm. If more people from the Civilization Academy were to come, then we can only give up…”

As he said this, the man hesitated but continued nonetheless, “Great Xia Prefecture’s strength is formidable. This time, it is only because the main force of Longwu Guards left that we could create chaos. Once the main force returns… We must evacuate. Previously, the top adopted a wait-and-see stance toward the Great Xia Prefecture, but this time, why…”

For this operation, without hesitation, the top even exposed a few of their pawns who had been undercover for a long time.

Hence, even if the operation succeeded, the damages would be very great as well.

The man didn’t understand. Even if they killed a few geniuses, such damages were difficult to mitigate.

One must know that for the sake of going undercover, some people had already wasted a lot of time and effort.

However, the woman’s position in the sect was higher than him, so she knew even more than him. He was only in charge of contacting the various parties.

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t!”

The woman replied coldly. After some thought, she said, “Actually, it’s nothing much either. What we need is chaos in the Great Xia Prefecture and for the main force of Longwu Guards to return! The target of Longwu Guard’s visit to the Allskies Battlefield this time around is the Heavenly Yi God Race!”

At those words, the man’s expression drastically changed.

The Heavenly Yi God Race was also the god race they relied on for help. Could it be that…

“God race… is afraid of Longwu Guards?”

The man didn’t dare to think about it, but the woman knew what he was thinking. Coldly, she said, “Although the Longwu Guards are strong, the god race don’t fear them! However, the god race is invading the Heavenly Eye Race recently, and if the Longwu Guards are added to the mix, it will surely spoil the plan.”

“Heavenly Eye Race!” The man replied anxiously, “The god race is starting a war?”

“No, it’s to let the Heavenly Eye Race return to order!”

After the woman said that, she stopped talking about it and changed the topic. “You, me, and another hall lord at the fourth level of the Soaring Realm will rush here tonight. He will go up against Xia Bing, I will entangle Wu Wenhai, and you bring the people to destroy Nanyuan Academy!

“Once Nanyuan Academy is destroyed, we will have completed the mission. We’ll then withdraw immediately!

“We’ll make our move… at dusk tomorrow!”

After hearing this, the man wanted to say something but hesitated. He then replied hastily, “Roger!”

They chose to act at dusk because all the students would no longer be at school and would not be able to gather. It was not worth it to ambush them separately for the kill.

At dusk, the skies would turn dark quickly. They would then retreat after the operation, so it would be easier for them to leave.

Regarding this point, the man didn’t have an opinion. He still had some worries and after he responded to the command, he still reminded her, “Besides Wu Wenhai and Xia Bing, I’m worried that Liu Wenyan will be stimulated into triggering his will manifestation. If that happens, that will be trouble.”

“That’s right. We have no choice but to be on guard!”

The woman didn’t think that he was overly worried; this was truly a variable. “However, there are three of us at Soaring Realm and only two of them. Besides, they are both only at the second level of the Soaring Realm. Even if Liu Wenyan manifested his will, there would be no time to temper his body. The strength of his will path would then have reached Soaring Realm, but his body path was still at Thousand Pound Realm. You should be able to deal with it too.”

“That…”

The man was about to say something, but the woman’s eyes turned cold. “He’s already more than 70 years old, and his body is in decline. Even if he manifested his will, it was also nothing. Don’t tell me you don’t even dare to go against Liu Wenyan?”

“That’s not it!”

The man hurriedly added, “I’m worried that if I go against Liu Wenyan, then there will be no one else to counter the others at Longwu Guards. They are all at Ten-Thousand Stone Realm, and although we have people at Ten-Thousand Stone too, once the Longwu Guards’ formation is complete, people who aren’t at Soaring Realm level won’t be able to hold them back.”

“What you’re saying is just a contingency. Liu Wenyan wasn’t able to manifest his will over so many years, is it certain that he will manifest it this time around?”

Though that was what the woman said, she quickly added, “Then, let the hall master of the fourth level of the Soaring Realm be entangled with the entire Longwu Guards. Xia Bing is only at the second level of the Soaring Realm, so the hall master will be more than enough to handle them. If you can kill Liu Wenyan swiftly, then help him with the Longwu Guards!”

“Alright!”

The man breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. A fourth-level Soaring Realm expert should be able to handle it.

Besides, he was also at the second level of the Soaring Realm, so he didn’t have to worry that much. The woman was stronger than him and was one of the hall lords in the All-Races Sect, the Nanyuan hall lord. Naturally, she was only at the peak of the third level of the Soaring Realm.

After all, Nanyuan City was small. It was already beyond expectations that the All-Races Sect would place two people of the Soaring Realm level here.

Over here in the Great Xia Prefecture, the city lord and Longwu Guard’s team leader were the only ones at Soaring Realm.

The main forces of the Great Xia Prefecture were all on the frontlines, leaving behind those that couldn’t be considered exceptionally strong to guard the cities. On the other hand, the All-Races Sect didn’t have to be on the frontlines and did not need to defend any place. It was more convenient for them to transfer personnel around.

“Eternal True Gods!”

The woman’s lips quivered and the man quickly followed and mouthed the words.

God race!

An unstoppable longing appeared in his eyes, the god race!

Eternal life!

If one could make contributions and enter the Divine Realm for the legendary God Transformation Pool, they would be able to transform their human race foundation and become part of the god race... That was immortality!

Infinite life!

A blaze was lit in the man’s eyes. This time, the top gave quite a significant number of divine points. With ten more of such missions, he would be able to exchange them for a chance to enter the divine realm.

“50 years… I need to enter the divine realm within 50 more years or I’ll die from old age…”

The man kept the words in his heart. He didn’t want to betray the human race, but he… wanted eternal life!

He couldn’t forget his teacher, an expert at the ninth level of the Soaring Realm. That year, because of the decline of his body, his teacher died on the bed from old age. Hence, he was extremely frightened by that.

The Soaring Realm only granted 150 years of life.

He was already more than 60 years old. Even though his body had yet to reach the stage of decline, it had already been more than ten years since he broke through to the second level of the Soaring Realm. Would there be any hope of him attaining the ninth level in this lifetime?

There was no hope!

He could only rely on the god race to exchange for eternal life.

“I’m not wrong. The human race will not be a match for the myriad races! The human realm’s lack of suppression force basically won’t obstruct the myriad races. Sooner or later, it will fall into the enemy’s hands. It’s a matter of time! My choice isn’t wrong!”

The man’s expression began to grow determined and increasingly pious. Even at the Soaring Realm, a member of the god race could easily live for a thousand years. In 1000 years, no matter what happened, he would be able to move a step further.

This was immortality, everlasting time!
