Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Chapter 102 Our Side Actively Prepares for War, the Enemy Hesitates

Fifth update, asking for monthly tickets, thank you all.

...

Inside the Death Squad's base, there was a variety of opinions.

"Are you insane? You want to capture him alive?"

Captain Luo's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe what he was hearing from Mr. Dong.

"Yes, if possible."

Mr. Dong's voice was very firm, "I don't think he could have cultivated the Void Shifting, to leap directly from the Immortal Sect to the Qingye Minor World, a world a million light years away. That's a feat even Nascent Soul Cultivators find hard to achieve.

I'd rather believe that he is someone else in disguise, or perhaps he obtained some Immortal Artifact that allows him to traverse space. If it's the former, no matter, we'll just kill him, but what if it's the latter?

If he got hold of some kind of Immortal Artifact, and then achieved what he has now, even leaping directly to the Qingye Small World, ignoring the distance of space, do you understand what this kind of Immortal Artifact represents?"

In the Martial Arts Miniature World, Gonggong demonstrated just how terrifying a Fifth Order Divine Instrument can be.

"How could there be such an Immortal Artifact, and how could Meng Yu, with his cultivation, wield such an Immortal Artifact?"

Someone sneered. The Immortal Sect had checked Meng Yu's body not just once or twice, including some who suspected that Meng Yu had a Golden Finger. But the inspection results were genuinely normal.

Besides, the most basic common sense is that the higher the grade of the Divine Artifact, the harder it is to use. Foundation Establishment Cultivators who use Golden Core weapons may exhaust their True Qi in one move, and Nascent Soul treasures might even cost them their lives.

"Then, there's another possibility. This person is truly a genius, who has comprehended Immortal Techniques and invented some kind of simple method."

Mr. Dong said calmly, his eyes, however, filled with fervor.

In the thousands of Minor Worlds of the Immortal Sect, there always appear some exceptional individuals who reach enlightenment regardless of teachings, a phenomenon that makes those who laboriously cultivate enviously aspire to.

So, what does Void Shifting represent?

"In the primal era, why did they send people to planets? Because the box doesn't open itself, and when there's a problem, various solutions must be found, like wiping the dust off solar panels!

Now, the Immortal Sect has countless planets to develop, but it's completely different between launching people onto them and being able to teleport there oneself. Law isn't omnipotent; we need countless methods to promote the construction of the network. Someone who can perform Void Shifting... even if Meng Yu didn't invent any Immortal Technique, just comprehending this Immortal Technique is of utmost importance."

"If I had Meng Yu's Immortal Technique, the kind that allows teleportation to a certain world, the things I could do would be endless..."

Someone said so, recalling banks, shopping streets, various warehouses, and even...

"The more profound the Immortal Technique, the more restrictions it has. Not to mention something like Void Shifting, many people achieve it only two or three times in their lifetime. I don't believe he can activate it frequently. I think we should capture him as quickly as possible!"

"By all accounts, after more than a month, he shouldn't be able to activate it a second time, but I still think..."

Everyone was arguing, especially those from the insurance companies, tax officers, and people from other departments who came with the Death Squad, each as agitated as fighting cocks.

No matter who it was, being dragged from bed in the middle of the night for a dangerous operation would make anyone's blood boil, not to mention they also represented the demands of their respective departments!

The insurance companies feared false claims of loss, tax officers naturally wanted to be on the frontline to prevent smuggling and fraud, while people from other departments, such as the navy's navigators, firmly demanded to communicate with Meng Yu first. The ability of Void Shifting is too heaven-defying; only fools would use it for killing. If used in the navy, that would be a method comparable to a Divine Artifact!

As for subduing Qingye Small World, what business is it of theirs!

That's a matter for other departments and Star Industrial Company!

We haven't taken any money from Star Industrial Company!

The team that should have been deployed immediately hesitated, even when it was the perfect time to strike while the Qi Refinement Practitioners from Star Industrial Company still had high morale.

Although he was a frontline commander who could decide everything,

"Our purpose for this operation is to clear up the situation, then eliminate the enemy, and finally if we choose, to seize Qingye Small World, not anything else," he said.

He sighed, then he sighed again.

"Within five days, the communication tower will be successfully constructed; then we can contact Immortal Sect and see what they think," he said.

With five hundred people at his command, Captain Luo was nonetheless a very cautious man.

He had fought against terrifying Exotic Beasts in the Arcturus Galaxy, witnessed battleships extinguish like fireflies; he had gone through countless life-and-death situations and had a keen sense of danger.

The odds were five hundred to one against Meng Yu, and from any perspective, they should press forward and finish off Meng Yu, but he preferred to use standard protocols.

As frontline operatives, they hated sudden significant targets appearing, then being asked to change the operation; the so-called glory and rewards were nothing compared to safe and sound. The only benefit now was the absence of superiors back home issuing commands, or else, he dared to bet, dozens of completely different, contradictory orders would have already arrived.

"Don't worry, Meng Yu is a good person!"

He said as much.

Then he glanced at Manager Qian, the most deserving of respect in the team.

...

In the Qingye Small World, the tool for contacting Immortal Sect was the communication tower.

This kind of tower, of course, differed from the ones on the planets, requiring much more energy and a higher level of setup. Because of financial reasons, Qingye Small World had only one communication tower, but that didn't mean others couldn't build another one.

Five hundred people, combining various items from their storage rings, could make a makeshift tower, though as the term "makeshift" implies, the construction would be quite difficult. It required communication with the Spirit Vein of heaven and earth, drawing Spiritual Power, then it could be activated, connected to Star Industrial, and then communicate with Supreme Star.

The five hundred people simply stayed on the snowfields, constructing the communication tower; the blizzard concealed their presence, and they were ordered not to make outside contact.

Once Supreme Star was contacted and they learned Meng Yu was there, possibly possessing Void Shifting, they might just throw over ten squads, five thousand people.

Yes, Meng Yu's sudden disappearance that day had attracted countless attentions.

Zhao Yuxuan was investigated in all sorts of ways, but no one knew the truth.

Earlier, several Sects in the Outer Domain received the highest-priority instructions from their undercover institutions in Immortal Sect; whoever could smuggle Meng Yu out was guaranteed at least a share of Golden Core resources.

This was a super genius who possessed two, or even three Sword Intents (many suspected Meng Yu was holding back)—and a genius whose character was not at all a problem (compared to Immortal Sect's oppression of Meng Yu, the Demon Gate thought Meng Yu was practically the Holy Mother, the type of supreme white lotus). As long as he could reach the Outer Domain, he would be guaranteed a Golden Core at least, not to mention his experience could heavily smear Immortal Sect's reputation!

Captain Luo was under tremendous pressure; he was certain that if he killed Meng Yu here, he would become an infamous figure!
