The stolen magic is a bit magical

This is the bargaining chip that one side has during armed forces negotiations.

In this chaotic land, fighting is the norm, and so is negotiation.

Fighting while negotiating is the norm.

Without a solid trump card, who would dare to venture into the temple's restricted area, which is teeming with alien species?
There is a temple inside the Tiger Army.

In fact, it's unavoidable for any military to plant spies among themselves.

These seven military vehicles and thirty-one people came to the temple to negotiate. The Tiger Army had a trump card: missiles were erected!
Target locked!

If you dare to overturn the table and kill these thirty-one people, the missiles will be activated immediately, giving you a barrage of fire.

There was nothing unusual along the way.

Military vehicles sped toward the temple.

Outside the temple are ancient bluestone steps.

The steps were mottled and worn, but no one dared to step on them lightly.

Because this temple was the center of power of the Sam Temple.

The seven elders, the two envoys, the Nirvana cultivators, and the most outstanding experts of the Li Tian clan are all here.

The military vehicle stopped.

Torre led the group of thirty-one people on foot through a dark corridor ahead.

Ahead lies the temple's arena.

Opposite them, a row of people in white clothes.

The Grand Elder, accompanied by seven others, stood in the center of the open space.

He greeted the thirty-one senior generals of the Fierce Tiger Army with a smile.

No one noticed the dark passage.

They had all passed through, and in the hidden depths of the dark passage, the white-robed Left Envoy frowned slightly, a chess piece dangling from his fingers, which he held for a long time without placing.

Opposite him was still Qingru, the man in black.

Qingru asked, "Lord Left Envoy, have you made any discoveries?"

The Left Envoy said, "Lin Xiaosu is not among these thirty-one people."

Qingru said, "According to the records, Lin Xiaosu's shapeshifting ability is almost comparable to that of the Hidden Dragon Blue Demon..."

He didn't dare to directly question the Left Envoy's judgment, but he indirectly expressed his opinion: if Lin Xiaosu's transformation skills were truly equivalent to those of the Blue Demon, no one would be able to tell whether he had actually infiltrated the team.

The Left Envoy said, "Judging solely from his shapeshifting technique, no one can see through his disguise. However, he is a cultivator! And these thirty-one people are all genetically modified humans!"

This is about seeing through appearances to the essence.

Lin Xiaosu is a spiritual practitioner!
He is not genetically modified!

And the people passing by, regardless of their appearance, are all genetically modified.

Then, Lin Xiaosu wouldn't be in it.

Qingru exclaimed, "The Left Envoy can see right through a person's core with just one glance; he's truly extraordinary!"

The Left Envoy showed no sign of smugness. His gaze fell on the chess piece in his hand: "He didn't make the move that had worked so well before, so there's a question... Where will he place his piece next?"

Theoretically speaking, a person's behavior has inertia.

Especially their proudest works, they will always consciously or unconsciously continue to use them.

On the day Lin Xiaosu chose to capture the island, he faced two major forces, the Black Dragon Society and the Royal Research Institute. What were originally minor conflicts were amplified by him, and he managed to seize the opportunity amidst the chaos to take away the Purple Demon Stone.

Today, facing the Tiger Army and the temple, his situation is exactly the same as it was before.

The initial stages were also extremely similar.

But in the most crucial move, he changed his mind...

Even the astute Left Envoy was bewildered...

And the Temple Arena.

The two groups of people took their seats.

Negotiation mode has been initiated.

The atmosphere was generally peaceful...

Lieutenant Colonel David, who was standing next to Torre, was the first to launch an attack, directly accusing the temple of sending experts to kidnap the Tigers' VIPs and destroy the Tigers' air defense system and almost all of their air vehicles, an act that violated the consensus between the two sides.

The temple categorically denied it.

David presented evidence.

Evidence 1: Fallen beast scales.

Evidence 2: Surveillance video from the border outpost.

The elder opposite smiled slightly: "Earthfall Beast Scales are scales of the Earthfall Beast, commonly used by our clan. There are quite a few scales left in various places. Using Earthfall Beast Scales as evidence to prove that the person who entered the Fierce Tiger Army Camp to kill people is from our clan is too far-fetched!"

The Second Elder interjected: "As for the sentry post surveillance, it seems like irrefutable evidence, but in modern society it's nothing at all! If you all like to bring up surveillance, you might as well take a look at a projection that our clan's genius just created."

He gently raised his hand, and a projection appeared in the air.

The figures projected were none other than the thirty-one soldiers in the seven military vehicles in front of them. They looked and dressed identically. These men had entered the temple's jurisdiction in military vehicles and opened fire, killing countless ordinary civilians.

The scene was bloody.

The thirty-one people looked at each other in bewilderment...

They certainly knew this wasn't true.

Because they entered the temple's restricted area today, they absolutely did not fire any shots.

However, as the Second Elder just said, this was "made" by a genius of the Li Tian clan.

He didn't mean to frame the thirty-one people; he was simply stating a fact: in modern society, surveillance footage can actually be fabricated. In other words, the surveillance footage from Qiu Dai's outpost was completely fake.

Another lieutenant colonel standing next to Torre spoke up: "There's a third one!"

The elder smiled and looked at him: "Lieutenant Colonel, please speak."

The lieutenant colonel said, "Lee is under the protection of more than thirty gene experts. He himself is also a super expert comparable to the Hidden Dragon King. Apart from that legendary Nirvana cultivator in the temple, who else in the world can subdue him instantly and take him out of the camp from among thousands of troops?"

This is also about seeing through appearances to the essence. Unaffected by the falling beast scales or the recording, we directly confront the most crucial issue: combat strength!

How many people in the world can subdue a Heavenly King-level Awakened One in a single move?
In most people's dictionary, there are probably only a few candidates.

The one closest to it was the legendary Nirvana being from the temple.

Suddenly, someone stood up behind the Grand Elder!
This person looked ordinary, and no one had paid any attention to him beforehand.

However, the moment he stepped out, his entire being changed.

The white robe could not conceal his inner brilliance.

His eyes gleamed with a silver light—yes, a very eerie silver light.

His skin seemed to suddenly crack open with countless fine fissures, each fissure gleaming with silver light.

His hand suddenly rose up!
He slammed his hand on the table in front of him!

A soft buzzing sound.

The ten-meter-long table in front of them was completely destroyed, shattered into pieces.

The teapot on the table was completely reduced to fragments.

Upon witnessing this unbelievable scene, Torre was greatly shocked and suddenly retreated.

With a whoosh, the two negotiating teams separated by three meters.

Almost everyone's fingers had already touched a gun or a knife.

The man in white robes seemed oblivious to this, and gave a cold laugh: "The person you, Lieutenant Colonel, are referring to is probably me. You might as well compare the fighting characteristics of the people in your Fierce Tiger Army with mine!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Such a breathtaking strike, with such unbelievable destructive effect, was not an attack at all, but merely a demonstration of his attack characteristics.

This person is the one who achieved Nirvana in the temple, a super powerful figure known as the God of Shock.

A man behind Torre stood up and said, "Then let's verify it!"

Before the sound was even in the air, he suddenly transformed into three shadows!

With a hiss, the three figures merged into one, and the sharp blade in their hands reached Zhen Shen's throat.

Ka!

The blade broke!

tom!
A figure soared into the sky!

Zhen Shen gently brushed his throat with his hand, his expression so carefree and relaxed.

The genetic expert who had just attacked him had already landed ten meters away, collapsing into a soft heap.

thumping!
Gunshot!

Two gunshots rang out from beside Torre; it was the lieutenant colonel who fired.

The bullet struck Zhen Shen precisely between the eyebrows.

Torre's eyes widened in surprise...

He was a genetically engineered human with exceptional eyesight. He clearly saw that when the two bullets struck Zhen Shen's brow, his brow turned silver-white.

The bullet flattened it upon impact.

He charged headlong into the bullets with his bare body.

He withstood the sharp blade with his bare body.

With a single strike, a strange vibration shattered the ten-meter-long table and everything on it into fragments…

The three attacks clearly demonstrated the characteristics of the God of War.

This person could absolutely not be the one who entered the Red Room and kidnapped Lewis (Wang Zhongze)!
His fighting style was completely different from that person's.

That person won by speed; his reaction speed was unparalleled, and his calculations were precise and flawless.

If it were the God of War, there would be no need to do this.

He could easily swagger into the military camp, go wherever he wanted, and do whatever he pleased...

The Grand Elder gently raised his hand: "Zhen Shen, sit down!"

Zhen Shen smiled faintly and sat behind the Grand Elder.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the negotiation room completely changed.

The temple had the absolute upper hand.

Firstly, it's about refuting the other party's accusations; secondly, it's about demonstrating strength.

The temple's move was clearly intended as a powerful demonstration, showing that the power of the temple was unstoppable by human forces.
All the feudal lords, please behave yourselves.

Torre felt a sense of powerlessness, a powerlessness that comes from facing a generational gap in power.

The Grand Elder smiled slightly: "Actually, I know who the person who kidnapped Lewis is."

"who is it?"

"An unofficial member of the Hidden Dragon of the Great Xia Kingdom, this person's name is Lin Xiaosu!"

“Lin Xiaosu…” Torre frowned. “I know this person, but can he really reach this level of combat power?”

"Time! Time changes a person!" the elder said. "At this time last year, he was just a young man with decent detective skills. In the latter half of last year, he was not strong enough to contend with the Heavenly Kings. But now, he has taken the lives of two Hydra Heavenly Kings, including the Shadow Heavenly King, who is known as the Immortal Heavenly King! By the way, some time ago, he also personally took down an ancient artifact: the Wing Blade! Compared to these achievements, it is not too difficult for him to abduct someone from your Tiger Army."

"Lin Xiaosu!" Torreya slowly bit down: "He dares to provoke the Fierce Tiger Army, he's courting death!"

“If you truly wish for his death, there is an opportunity now!” The Grand Elder laughed: “It all depends on whether you dare to do it.”

"What does the Grand Elder intend to do?" Torre asked.

"Lin Xiaosu is a person with some sense of national responsibility. If he knew that a massacre had occurred at the embassy of the Great Xia Kingdom, if a large number of merchants in the Great Xia Kingdom were to have problems, or if the Qianlong outposts were to be wiped out, he would definitely emerge from the shadows and step into the limelight!"

"He... is still in Durta?" Torre's eyes gleamed.

"exist!"

"If he appears, will this... take action?" Torre pointed at the God of Tremor. (End of Chapter)
