Chapter 46: Scepter of Thunder, A Deadly Tribulation on the Way Home
【 Archives – Scepter of Thunder
I. Incident Overview: Investigation Bureau member Bai Yu, at the invitation of Professor Wang Wen, went to the Thunder Laboratory in the suburbs on July 22nd to activate the Scepter of Thunder. On the way back, approximately three kilometers from the laboratory, near the Nine Snake Bend national road area, they were attacked by dozens of low-level Blood Slaves, over ten Vampire Clan Modified Beings, and one Advanced Vampire.
This attack resulted in the deaths of Professor Wang Wen and several other key researchers. Investigator Bai Yu, in an emergency situation, forcibly activated the power of the Scepter of Thunder, and with the empowerment of the Golden Page, unleashed strength comparable to that of Spirit Yuan Realm experts. He, along with the experts escorting the convoy, held out until Transcendent beings arrived to provide support. However, the crucial item – the Scepter of Thunder – was forcibly seized by the Vampire Clan.

III. Research on Vampire Clan Modified Beings:
Four Vampire Clan Modifications were successfully left behind by the support team this time. Afterward, multiple laboratories conducted detailed research and analysis on the Vampire Clan Modified Beings from the attack incident.
It was discovered that the Vampire Clan Modified Beings had undergone extremely significant improvements in their abilities compared to their previous appearances.
The identity of the mastermind behind this attack has not yet been ascertained.
VI. Casualties:
Negligible.
Investigator Bai Yu’s body was ravaged by the violent thunder energy, his meridians were damaged, and he lost his right arm, which will greatly affect his future cultivation. 】
The research report contains quite a lot of words.
However, the report did not yield any substantial findings; the mastermind wasn’t even identified.
He can now only ascertain that this attack incident occurred.
“July 22nd, isn’t that today?”
“Professor Wang Wen is quite reliable, moving quickly.”
“Bah! I misspoke. He was rushing to his death!”
After carefully reviewing the intelligence and contemplating it, his expression became somewhat solemn.
“The Scepter of Thunder was just activated, and they were ambushed three kilometers away. There’s a high probability of a problem from within!”
“The target of the opposing side was likely the Scepter of Thunder? Of course, killing Professor Wang Wen and other researchers would also be a great achievement for the Alien Race!”
“It mentioned an escort convoy. They must have been protecting these important figures, but they still lost!”
“To actually require my full power…”
“However, from this perspective, the Scepter of Thunder is truly formidable!”
The intelligence did not clearly describe the specific situation of the personnel at the scene, which gave Bai Yu a headache.
Regarding Zhang Youpeng’s encounter with an attack, he chose to proceed according to the original fate line, ultimately using Zhang Youpeng as bait to capture an Advanced Fishman.
But when death is imminent, he wouldn’t dare take such a risk!
“If I don’t go to the scene, and something happens, I won’t die. But the Scepter of Thunder will still be lost!”
“My purpose for going is the Scepter of Thunder. If it’s gone, what am I even doing this for!?”
Of course, he could choose not to get involved, let Professor Wang Wen take the scepter, and then discuss with the Group Leader how to deal with the enemies.
However, doing so would inevitably alter the fate line. If he ended up empty-handed, it would be very awkward.
He scratched his head, truly troubled.
After carefully organizing his thoughts, the only thing he could confirm was that he had to get involved in this matter!
This clearly had something to do with the Lei Family, that tumor. Moreover, by engaging with this incident, he could then utilize his subsequent intelligence-gathering abilities to continue luring out the big fish behind it.
Otherwise, the traitors hidden among humans would sooner or later target him.
Just as that passage said.
【When they persecuted the ***, I did not stand up, because I was not a ***】
Since he had to get involved, he naturally needed to contact his people.
With this thought, Bai Yu picked up his phone and sent a message to the Captain: “Captain, this is a super big deal! It’s related to Vampire Clan Modifications.”
He knew the Group Leader woke up very early and had a habit of morning exercises, releasing spiritual energy from his body and then cultivating with his cultivation technique.
As expected, the other side immediately sent a message: “Where should we talk?”
“My place.”
“Should I bring a few team members?”
“Okay!”
Inside the room.
Bai Yu’s expression looked very solemn, and Liu Feifei stopped joking around.
Li Yunbin also waited quietly for Bai Yu without asking any questions.
At this moment, after Bai Yu organized his thoughts, he said, “Actually, my special ability is related to divination of fortune and misfortune.”
Hearing Bai Yu suddenly talk about this, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Could it be that Bai Yu was about to reveal his secret?
If that were the case, what kind of event had occurred that led him to make such a decision?
“This morning, I divined my luck for today, and there was a death tribulation.”
Hearing this, Liu Feifei asked with some worry, “Can this death tribulation be resolved?”
“Of course! My ability is much stronger than fortune-telling. I can even calculate what event will cause me trouble and at what approximate time. If I really wanted to play it safe, I could completely avoid this death tribulation. But… this death tribulation involves a major event.”
“What event?”
“Yesterday, I mentioned activating that scepter to Professor Wang Wen. Today, I had a premonition that Professor Wang Wen would contact me and take me to that laboratory. However, on the way back, I might encounter an attack from the Vampire Clan. Of course, if I don’t go, I personally will be fine.”
Hearing this, Li Yunbin frowned and said, “Professor Wang Wen holds a significant position in the field of transcendent research in Tianhai City. If you go with him, there will definitely be Spirit Yuan Realm experts escorting you.”
“Right! I actually looked up the laboratory you needed yesterday. The one that fits the requirements should be the Thunder Laboratory in the Nine Head Mountain area, on the northern outskirts.”
“This laboratory was completed in April. It can use extremely high voltage and various equipment to induce free electrons in the air, forming a Thunder Domain and generating a large amount of thunder-attribute spiritual energy.”
“From Tianhai City to this laboratory, it’s about 10 kilometers of mountain road.”
“Wait a moment, I’ll have someone send you the terrain map of this area.”
Li Yunbin operated quickly, and the terrain map was sent over, along with an aerial view captured by a drone, which was extremely clear.
“This mountain road is extremely complex, truly suitable for an ambush.”
Seeing this map, Bai Yu thought to himself: This is even more troublesome!
He also frankly admitted, “Captain, to be honest, if the danger level is too high, I’m not going, okay?”
It’s better to be a coward when necessary! Why risk your life?
Hearing this, Li Yunbin said nothing. It was natural for someone to want to avoid great misfortune after divining it.
However, if what Bai Yu said was true.
He felt that since the Vampire Clan had targeted two important professors in the transcendent field, even if they didn’t act this time, they wouldn’t let it go. This tumor had to be removed! Otherwise, the consequences would be endless.
With this thought, he took out three talismans and handed them to Bai Yu, saying, “This one is the Azure Cloud Sword Formation, primarily for offense. This one is the Five Tripod Magic Array, primarily for defense. And this one is the Spirit Severing Sword Talisman, an absolute killing move.”
“All three talismans possess the power of a Spirit Yuan Realm Peak expert. Take them for now.”
Bai Yu was not one to be polite, and he also wanted to take a risk.
At least he was still alive after this attack!
If he prepared some good items in advance now, his chances of survival would be high.
If something truly happened, he could recover the situation later with reliable intelligence.
He naturally accepted them directly.
Li Yunbin’s gaze then fell upon Qin Wanqing, and before he could speak.
Qin Wanqing understood and extended her hand, revealing a jade pendant that was sapphire blue with a hint of purple.
“This is the Purple Spirit Jade Pendant. When encountering danger, it will manifest a barrier that can withstand the attacks of a Spirit Yuan Realm Peak expert for half an hour. It can also block a Spirit Sea Realm expert for a while.”
Damn! Half an hour!
What a treasure.
“Then I won’t be polite and will accept it?”
At this moment, Li Yunbin also said, “To ensure the overall situation, we should still call Deputy Director Yang. Director Yang’s ability is related to stargazing and can also observe fate.”
Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, “As long as it doesn’t involve too many people, it shouldn’t change the original fate line.”
In his heart, he thought: Hurry, hurry! The more people we call, the more stable it will be, and then I’ll dare to take the risk.
He also hoped that the gains from this time would be worth the risk he was taking.
