Chapter 149: Tang Dynasty Buddhist Temple, Half-Step Heavenly Yuan! Blade Demon in the Dense Forest
A dense forest in the shadows.
The scene of this battle was also being displayed on a certain screen.
A man with fair skin asked the person in the black robe beside him, “You’re not going to intervene in this kind of battle? With your strength, you could have easily taken their lives, right? Even an ordinary Spirit Sea Realm cultivator wouldn’t be able to stop you.”
The person in the black robe replied indifferently, “This approach will ultimately lead to death. Moreover, this young man is clearly not simple. Otherwise, why would the Shadow Alliance offer such generous rewards?”
“Alright, it’s just a shame about this experimental subject who has entered the fourth stage.”
“Heh heh~ You don’t belong to the true Vampire Clan, nor do you care about the experiments of the Vampire Clan, do you?”
“That’s hard to say. I’d like to get my hands on one for research myself, to see what kind of power this truly is. However, experimental subjects of this caliber should indeed be handed over to those guys.”
Immediately, the fair-skinned man changed the subject, “Speaking of which, why did you suddenly decide to kill these young people? Their talents look quite good, and they must be highly valued. Don’t you usually avoid jobs that might attract the attention of top experts from the Investigation Bureau? And didn’t you say you don’t kill the Heaven’s Pride among humans?”
The person in the black robe replied indifferently, “After finishing this job, I plan to leave the Ninth Administrative District.”
Upon hearing this, the fair-skinned man seemed slightly surprised, “Oh? Are you about to advance to the Spirit Sea Realm?”
“Yes, advancing here might easily cause trouble.”
“It seems the rewards from the Shadow Alliance are indeed substantial! It’s just a pity that without your assistance, I’ll have to scale back many of my plans.”
Hearing this, the person in the black robe was silent for a moment, then said, “Since I embarked on this path, I’ve increasingly felt that Alien Races are not that formidable. Although we humans appear to be in decline, it’s because we face so many of them!”
“If you were to single them out, what are Alien Races really?”
“Moreover, the Power of the Ancient Gods in our world is something even those Alien Gods desperately covet.”
“Our Great Dao is definitely stronger!”
“It’s just that most people are too corrupt. The world has changed; survival of the fittest is the rule!”
“What’s the use of protecting those who are weak?”
“Outdated orders will eventually be eliminated!”
“Furthermore, many among them harbor selfish intentions. Such selfishness should be unleashed without restraint; why hide it and pretend to be a Gentleman!”
Hearing this, the fair-skinned man smiled in agreement, “That’s how it should be! Once I’ve dealt with my current affairs, I’ll leave the Ninth Administrative District. Then, we can accomplish something great.”
However, the person in the black robe said ruthlessly, “Talk about that after you’ve escaped the Vampire Clan and gained the strength of the Spirit Sea Realm.”
“Right now, the chips you hold are merely those few cannon fodder under your command.”
As he said this, the person in the black robe glanced in another direction, transformed into a streak of Blood Qi, and left behind a parting message, “Let’s go, that old guy is coming.”
The fair-skinned man, despite being looked down upon, still wore a smile and was not angered.
He then transformed into a blood bat and quickly darted into the mountain forest.
Sancha River.
The crab was already covered in wounds, the most severe being a sword gash on its head that revealed its crab roe.
Bai Yu returned, holding the Gungnir in his hand.
Seeing this, he said, “Captain! Crab roe is the essence, don’t damage it.”
Yu Rundong and Jiang Liyue, who were engaged in a fierce battle with the Sea Serpent Clan: ??? Thinking about food?
However, Li Yunbin, upon hearing this, actually adjusted his attack direction and struck at the head.
Bai Yu’s Gungnir followed closely behind.
“Boom!”
As for the Sea Serpent Clan, upon seeing this, they immediately jumped into the water.
The other Sea Monsters immediately became enraged.
The Sea Serpent Clan had clearly used a Technique and burrowed into a hole at the riverbed, escaping in an instant.
Afterward, only the task of clearing out the remaining Sea Monsters remained.
At this moment, several figures came rushing over.
They thought it was the Investigation Bureau, having seen the signal.
However, when Bai Yu looked, he frowned.
The one leading them was Miyamoto Nobukazu.
Sakura Island people!?
Miyamoto Shinjo looked at the giant sea crab that had been slain, and the corpses of Sea Monsters scattered everywhere.
He felt dismissive.
He alone had the ability to kill these monsters!
However, most of the people in this group were at the Qi Gathering Realm, and the others were not quite at the Spirit Yuan Realm.
They indeed had some skill!
Bai Yu’s eyes narrowed, and he asked, “What are you doing here?”
Miyamoto Shinjo had long been annoyed with Bai Yu and blurted out, “What business is it of yours?”
“This is our territory, and you were at the Thunder Laboratory during your afternoon meal. Yet, after more than two hours, you’ve come to a place so far from the laboratory, and now you’ve run into us!”
Miyamoto Shinjo was about to speak.
However, Miyamoto Nobukazu stopped him and said, “There is Black Blood Disease in the river village here, and we’ve come to handle it.”
In reality, they had discovered a successor of the Black Lotus Flower Petal through their own abilities.
They wanted to capture them! This would be considered having chips.
They just didn’t expect to see the signal flare and came out of curiosity.
Bai Yu did not let down his guard upon hearing this.
They had been fighting for a considerable time and had consumed a lot of Spiritual Energy. They naturally had no trust in foreigners.
Just as the standoff continued, a Golden Light appeared in the mountain forest on the opposite bank of the river channel.
An old man wearing a red kasaya walked out.
He looked at the Sakura Island people, and the Sakura Island expert immediately bowed. The old man also offered a Buddhist greeting.
The old man silently turned his Buddhist Rosary Beads, without speaking.
Less than half a minute later, another group of people rushed in.
They were investigators from Sancha River Town.
Seeing the ground covered in corpses, they were all shocked!
A young investigator exclaimed, “What is this situation?”
He had never seen such a grand scene before!
Beside him, his middle-aged Group Leader patted his head, signaling him not to speak too much.
The atmosphere now was clearly not a place for small figures like them to speak.
Miyamoto Nobukazu took a deep look at the Werewolf corpse a hundred meters away, then said, “Since nothing is happening here, we shall take our leave.”
However, the Buddhist Dao old man spoke, “Benefactor, please stay!”
“Hmm? Master, what is it?”
“Benefactor, when you act, you should consider things more thoroughly and not cause too much trouble for the farmers.”
“That is natural! We will abide by your rules.”
They were operating in the Ninth Administrative District and had no intention of handling any aftermath.
During their usual investigations, they would not deliberately cover up for the Ninth Administrative District.
With this attitude, they should have been reprimanded more severely back then.
However, Miyamoto Nobukazu felt an irresistible aura from the old man.
He frowned.
Are there such figures in a small place like China?
It would be best to act cautiously.
Seeing the Sakura Island people leave, the Buddhist Dao old man looked around, then turned into a streak of Golden Light and departed.
Bai Yu muttered softly, “A very powerful Big Boss.”
Zhao Bin explained from the side, “The abbot of the Buddhist Temple on the mountain in Sancha River Village. That Buddhist Temple enshrines a statue with the inheritance of the Power of the Ancient Gods! It is said to have been established in the Tang Dynasty and is a true Ancient God artifact.”
“It is said that with the power of the divine statue, this abbot is equivalent to half a Heavenly Yuan within this region.”
Damn! Half a Heavenly Yuan!?
He thought it was just an ordinary Spirit Sea Realm mighty figure.
But can even half a Heavenly Yuan not suppress the chaos in this area?
Or is there another reason?
But these were not things he needed to worry about now.
His mission was to clear out the tumors here as much as possible, then cultivate diligently, and set his sights on a more distant goal!
After the Buddhist Dao Big Boss left.
Among the more than thirty investigators present, the leading middle-aged Group Leader had the strength of the early Spirit Yuan Realm.
When he looked at Bai Yu and the others, he was very polite.
His first glance fell upon Bai Yu, who still had Thunder flashing around him. This was clearly a dragon among men, the leader of the pack!
“What is this young brother’s name?”
Bai Yu was stunned, “Ah? I’m not the Group Leader. You can talk to our boss.”
Saying this, Bai Yu pointed at Li Yunbin.
Upon closer inspection, Li Yunbin’s demeanor was indeed more extraordinary!
He then inquired about the situation of this battle.
This battle occurred within their Jurisdiction, so reporting the combat situation was necessary.
Li Yunbin was very polite and unpretentious, and he discussed the battle situation.
He then specifically pointed out, “The corpses of these Sea Monsters are fine, but that Werewolf!”
“Never mind, we’ll have people come to haul away the Werewolf and this River Crab. The rest will be up to you to handle.”
Although this Group Leader was much younger than Li Yunbin, his demeanor was very humble, “Okay! Okay!”
The subsequent cleanup would also contribute to their achievements.
After they finished dealing with so many corpses, they might even earn three to five thousand Contribution Points.
Meanwhile, Li Yunbin’s group immediately began disassembling the giant sea crab without any further ado.
Bai Yu was astonished.
“Damn! I was just saying.”
Li Yunbin, however, said, “This should be a Spiritual Beast domesticated by Sea Monsters. The Essence within a Spiritual Beast, just like ordinary creatures, is edible. And its effects are excellent!”
Hearing this, Bai Yu became excited.
Jiang Liyue, standing beside him, winked at Bai Yu and said, “Little brother, do you want to join our group?”
“Hiss~! Beautiful Group Leader, this is indeed very tempting. I think this proposal…”
But instantly, two gazes from behind him looked over.
Fine!
Sister Wanqing is also starting to guard her territory.
However, perhaps it’s because it was Jiang Liyue’s invitation?
Is there something going on between these three?
Never mind, women’s affairs, no need to delve too deep!
Yu Rundong, who had been beaten by the Werewolf, was still injured.
But he still walked over, put his arm around Bai Yu’s shoulder, and said, “Let’s have a meal together tonight! Taste this Spirit Crab. Afterward, we can bathe in Spirit Milk, so comfortable! Hahaha~”
“By the way, Brother Yu, about the sparring…”
“Sparring? What sparring? Aren’t we having a meal?”
“Uh…”
Their expressions changed so quickly!
“If it’s a meal, I have no objections.”
Bai Yu also liked lively gatherings.
Jiang Liyue looked at her team members; they all seemed eager to participate, including Han Qing, who was usually quite reserved.
“Our group has no objections either.”
Seeing this, Li Yunbin nodded, “Alright, then I’ll contact a location. Coincidentally, I know a Senior here who can help process Spiritual Food.”
During the processing of the Spirit Crab, the investigators from Sancha River Town were clearly quite envious.
Spiritual Beast meat! It would definitely be very nourishing.
Bai Yu was not stingy; since they couldn’t finish it all, he took four large crab legs, each four meters long, and walked over, saying, “Here, this is for you.”
The middle-aged Group Leader said, “Thank you, young brother!”
“Hahaha, no problem, just have your younger team members shout ‘Yu Ge is awesome’.”
The middle-aged investigator was stunned for a moment, but the young man behind him shouted, “Yu Ge is awesome!”
The voices of others rose and fell.
Hearing it for real, Bai Yu got goosebumps; it was too embarrassing!
He quickly scurried back to the team.
Liu Feifei blinked her eyes and said, “So childish~”
“Haha, this is called life! And since our strength was so fierce today, I’m happy!”
Soon, the Spirit Crab was processed, and the trucks responsible for transportation arrived, loading everything in.
