Even if you belong to a demonic sect, you still have to bring glory to the country.

Chapter 113 Even the Cult Leader Cannot Be Talked About

Elsewhere in the base, Guan Zhong and others were undergoing secret testing.

Similarly, the base also flexed its muscles to Guan Zhong and others, letting them know what technological modernization meant.

They saw things that ordinary people could never see.

Guan Zhong truly understood the significance of the cult leader's words, "This world is dangerous; you're doomed if you break the law."

At least Guan Zhong, who had initially been indifferent, finally said sincerely, "Amazing."

People of this era were able to create such a devastating weapon; even if he possessed internal strength, he would be helpless against it.

He was not the same Guan Zhong of the Demonic Sect who could conquer the world on his own.

Instead, Guan Zhong, who came into this world, can only be called an ordinary person.

At this moment, Guan Zhong was actually quite emotional.

With such powerful military protection, it's no wonder that the people here live in peace and contentment.

If the ancient Liang Dynasty had possessed such weapons, probably no one could have withstood them.

Compared to the complex emotions of Guan Zhong and others, those at the base who had signed confidentiality agreements and were allowed to participate in the testing of the Demonic Cult were all deeply shocked.

—Damn, it really can stop bullets!

What kind of outrageous person is this?
The intense firepower was unstoppable, but Guan Zhong and his men were surprisingly unafraid of sniping and ambushes.

Their naked eyes cannot match the speed of a bullet. After all, no matter how much internal energy one possesses, the human body's potential is limited and has not exceeded its limits.

However, they are extremely sensitive to danger, able to detect approaching danger from a certain distance, and can even use their internal energy to block bullets for a moment.

Just like how the Weaver Girl used her inner strength to move the vehicle back then.

At least it can deflect the bullet's direction.

However, getting too close seemed to be problematic, as the speed of bullets ultimately exceeded human limits. But Mu Lihua and the others dared not conduct experiments at such close range.

It would be difficult to explain if someone were actually injured.

That was shocking enough; at least the top leader believed it after seeing it.

No one from the Demonic Cult should be allowed to leave at will, and the secret of the time travel must be kept under tight guard. The research team can now be stationed in the Moon Community starting today.

Similarly, psychological issues must be properly addressed through counseling.

At least Guan Zhong has a sensitive point.

He had a generally negative attitude towards government officials, and in ancient times, the fact that his parents died at the hands of imperial soldiers was a huge shock.

Even though the army of the Great Liang Dynasty and the current army are not the same concept at all.

On the contrary, Tian Shu and the others were much easier to deal with.

They are assassins, trained by the old cult leader since childhood. Aside from their profession, they are relatively 'simple'.

He is particularly interested in weapons.

Tian Shu and the others stared wide-eyed at the weapons and equipment, wanting to touch them, but unfortunately there were regulations that only people from the base could use them.

Tian Shu and the others looked on with longing for high-tech weapons: "How can we use them?"

The person in charge of explaining to them this time was Lao Ba: "It's not possible at this stage. You need to learn to read first, and you also need to undergo psychological assessment and receive professional training, because these are military weapons and cannot be used by ordinary people. In terms of status, you are just ordinary people."

Lao Ba was also envious of their internal strength: "It's a pity that I can't teach you your internal strength."

Who hasn't dreamed of flying and escaping into the sky when they were a child?

The harsh reality is right before their eyes—they cannot learn from this.

"That's not important." Tian Shu had already come to terms with reality: "You are much more powerful than us. In the face of your weapons, internal energy is of little use."

Eighth Brother: "..."

That's ridiculous, isn't it?

The official weapons are not meant to be used against the public, but Tian Shu and his group can indeed pose a threat to the people!
After learning that even handling these weapons required learning to read, Tian Shu and the others resigned themselves to their fate.

Study hard when you get back!

Mu Lihua then spoke with Guan Zhong alone. Her impression of Guan Zhong was that he seemed honest, but that was only in front of Li Sui.

But after Li Sui's description, she gained some understanding.

Guan Zhong is a man who strictly adheres to the rules.

Yes, he actually follows the rules very well.

He has been putting into practice the words left by the old leader, keeping a close eye on the others for the new leader.

In modern times, Li Sui forbade him from attacking ordinary people or using martial arts, so Guan Zhongzhen never used them.

It wasn't even a single move; it was just a pure counterattack.

His attitude toward the authorities was lukewarm. Mu Lihua knew that childhood trauma was hard to heal easily; it wasn't something that could be erased simply by changing the world or the body.

But instead, they hoped to persuade Guan Zhong.

Because Guan Zhong follows the rules, he is a better prospect than Tian Shu and others.

Even though he's old, his martial arts skills are undeniable, so that's not a problem.

They've already flexed their muscles, and Guan Zhong's attitude has indeed softened somewhat, but he's not as enthusiastic as Tian Shu and the others.

Perhaps this is related to his age and his understanding of many things.

"The Left Protector must be invincible over there."

Mu Lihua still referred to him by his position in the Demonic Sect.

Guan Zhong paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Not really, but if I fight with all my might, no one can stop me."

He and Mu Lihua walked through the mountains and forests of the base, surrounded by surveillance cameras and hidden personnel.

Guan Zhong was also arrogant. Back then, he was able to be brought back to the Demonic Sect by the old leader, and he proved his martial arts talent on his own.

Otherwise, the members of the Demonic Cult wouldn't all be convinced by him.

Even if the weaver girl occasionally teases him, it's just friendly banter.

Mu Lihua smiled and asked, "Can the Left Protector sense how many people are within a hundred meters?"

Guan Zhong hesitated for a moment, then held up his fingers and said, "Forty... more than forty people? I'm not very good at math, but I can count this many people."

He hesitated for a moment because he sensed that several auras were not quite right.

Seeing his hesitation, Mu Lihua asked a question she had always wanted to ask.

"Left Protector, how can you practice martial arts if you can't read?"

Guan Zhong glanced at Mu Lihua: "In our area, training is done by having a master introduce you to the basics, and later it depends on the individual. There are no martial arts secrets, only different schools and styles. Even if there were, they would only have diagrams and texts. I can still understand the diagrams."

Moreover, the characters he knew were from the Liang Dynasty. Modern characters are much simpler, and there are some differences between the two timelines. Coming here, he was practically illiterate.

Liu Shu also needs to learn pinyin properly!

Guan Zhong knew what Mu Lihua was wondering about.

The internal energy of the Great Liang Dynasty was more like something that was innate and nurtured by nature; you either had it or you didn't. Just like Li Sui, who had none at all.

Mu Lihua decided to have the tutoring center give Guan Zhong extra math lessons.

He was also told, "If you are sure it's more than forty people, then you're wrong, and terribly wrong."

Guan Zhong frowned: "Did I miscount? I can still count this many people clearly."

"Because there are at least 50 people hiding within a hundred meters of this area. Of course, some of them have used jamming devices to conceal their whereabouts. Now, I roughly understand some of the basic principles of your internal energy."

Internal energy is not omnipotent; there must be places where the expert team cannot detect special magnetic fields at this stage.

Now Guan Zhong was genuinely curious: "How did you do that?"

It managed to escape his senses.

"If you're interested, I can let you know if there's a chance. However, all of this requires signing a confidentiality agreement. It's a confidentiality agreement that even your leader can't tell you. No matter how she asks you, you can't say anything. Left Protector, can you do that?"
