Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

"The operation will begin at 5 p.m. tomorrow."

Chu Ci left Shrek Academy and arrived in Tianling City without anyone knowing, where he made some arrangements that were kept secret.

The next day, in the afternoon, Chu Ci arrived at Tianling City.

Tianling City is a top-tier city in the Federation, second only to Mingdu in status, on par with Tiandou City.

On the rooftop of a tall building in Tianling City, Chu Ci stood and took out a briefcase.

Chu Ci opened the briefcase, and a cloud floated out, silently merging with the clouds in the sky.

A screen was projected in front of Chu Ci, clearly displaying the terrain and facilities of Tianling City.

The Divine Cloud Detector is a level nine soul-guided detection device. Even a Limit Douluo might not be able to escape its detection if they are not careful to hide.

Then, small dots of light lit up inside the Heavenly Spirit Formation on the screen. Each dot represented the soul power fluctuation of a Soul Master. The deeper the dot, the stronger the soul power.

For a time, every little thing happening in Tianling City was under Chu Ci's surveillance.

"Taiyi, keep a close watch on the Spirit Pagoda and the pre-marked coffee shop."

“Yes, Young Master Chu Ci,” Taiyi replied.

Chu Ci leaned against the railing of the rooftop, quietly looking at the towering Spirit Transmission Tower not far away, a cold smile on his face.

A short while later, two figures rushed out of the Spirit Pagoda.

The screen in front of Chu Ci beeped twice. Chu Ci looked up and saw that the Divine Spirit Cloud had just detected two Soul Masters with very strong soul power fluctuations sneaking out of the Spirit Pagoda.

Taiyi pulled up the image recorded by the spirit cloud and zoomed in. He found that it was two soul masters wearing black robes, with only their eyes showing.

Taiyi compared the height, build, and characteristics of the two people with the relevant data of the Spirit Tower in the database and quickly deduced their identities.

A timeless breeze, a timeless court, two ultimate Douluo.

As for the eternal east wind? He was currently attending the Federal Parliament in Mingdu.

The reason why Qian Gu Dong Feng set the operation time for today is because today is the day the Federal Parliament convenes, and Zang Xin will also be present.

As long as Zang Xin is tied up and unable to leave, wouldn't those two Limit Douluos inside the Spirit Pagoda be able to do whatever they want?

The ancient east wind is indeed cunning and treacherous.

When Chu Ci saw that Qian Gu Qing Feng and Qian Gu Die Ting were approaching the coffee shop, she sent a pre-edited message to Zang Xin's phone.

Zang Xin, who was in a meeting, suddenly felt his phone vibrate. When he opened it, a message from an unknown contact caught his eye.

"Tang Clan Military Factory in Tianling City has been attacked by Limit Douluo! Danger!"

Zang Xin's expression changed drastically. He disregarded the ongoing Federal Parliament meeting and instantly disappeared from his spot, transforming into a streak of light and rushing towards Tianling City.

The military factory beneath Tianling City is one of the sixteen top-tier military factories built by the Tang Sect, and is one of the most important assets of the Tang Sect. If it were to suffer irreparable damage, coupled with the disappearance of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye and the recent attacks on several smaller military factories, it would be a devastating blow to the Tang Sect.

This is why the three Limit Douluos of the Qian Gu family took action together. The Tang Sect is indeed in a class of its own in the field of soul tools, and Qian Gu Dongfeng has been eyeing those powerful soul tools for a long time.

This time, even if they don't take over the military factory, as long as they obtain the production data of the soul guide devices inside, the Qian Gu family is confident that they can build a powerful legion with the astonishing wealth of the Spirit Pagoda.

As someone determined to make the Spirit Pagoda a dominant force like the Spirit Hall of 20,000 years ago, even though he had some doubts about how Cheng Fangjun found such crucial information, he had no choice but to take the bait, as the potential gains were simply too great.

Moreover, the Tang Clan can only silently swallow this loss. After all, building military factories on a large scale in the city's underground would not only make the Tang Clan a target of public criticism, but it would also be a significant blow to the Tang Clan's glorious image. Who would believe that an organization dedicated to maintaining peace is the world's largest arms dealer?

At the Federal Parliament, Qian Gu Dongfeng felt a bad premonition when he saw Zang Xin suddenly leave.

But he still comforted himself, thinking that the Spirit Pagoda had sent two Limit Douluos, so even if Zang Xin was powerful, he wouldn't be able to gain any advantage.

In Tianling City, the ancient breeze and the ancient dystopian rushed into the Tang Clan's secret stronghold in Tianling City, which was also the entrance to the military factory, a seemingly ordinary coffee shop.

Chu Ci keenly noticed that the coffee shop trembled slightly, and the detected soul power fluctuations became even more intense. It seemed that the Qian Gu father and son had already made their move.

The three bright spots with extremely strong soul power fluctuations in the Xuan Shi Tang Men Company disappeared from the detection screen of the Divine Cloud.

According to the detection of the Divine Cloud, those three bright spots should be super Douluo-level powerhouses. The disappearance of the bright spots representing the three of them indicates that they have entered a place that cannot be detected—underground.

The Tang Clan experts stationed there could not possibly turn a blind eye to the attack on the military factory; they would all choose to rush to its aid immediately.

Chu Ci's lips curled up, and she raised her hand to wipe her face, instantly changing her expression.

Wearing a fake face, Chu Ci headed towards Xuan Shi Tang Men Company.

Like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, a military factory couldn't possibly have only one entrance. One entrance was in the secret outpost—the coffee shop, and the other outpost was inside the Xuan Shi Tang Men Company.

Currently, all three Super Douluo within the company have been assigned to the military factory.

None of the remaining people in the entire Xuan Shi Tang Men company had the ability to detect that Chu Ci, who had now reached the Soul Emperor level, had infiltrated.

Using the Divine Balance Martial Soul, Chu Ci eliminated his aura and added an invisibility layer, successfully infiltrating the Xuan Shi Tang Men Company.

At this moment, the interior of Xuan Shi Tang Men Company was peaceful, showing no signs of panic from the attack.

This is normal, after all, the existence of military factories is top secret and not everyone can know about it.

Chu Ci arrived at the office of the person in charge on the top floor of the Xuan Shi Tang Men Company building.

The office door was locked with a smart combination lock. Chu Ci picked up Tai Yi, and in less than two seconds, the smart combination lock was cracked, and the door opened.

Chu Ci pushed open the door and entered, only to see a large hole gleaming behind the desk in the office, leading to an elevator.

It seems those three Super Douluo left in such a hurry that they forgot to even try to cover themselves up.

Chu Ci stepped forward, cracked the elevator code, and boarded the elevator, descending downwards.

Chapter 238 The Invasion of Father and Son Through the Ages, Confrontation with Zang Xin

Under the bright sunshine and in the fresh air, the people of Tianling City were going about their lives as usual, unaware that a fierce battle was taking place 500 meters below their feet.

Qian Gu Qingfeng and Qian Gu Die Ting, relying on their strength, barbarically stormed into the underground military factory.

A level 98 Super Douluo, a level 96 Super Douluo, and three Title Douluos stationed inside the military factory intervened to stop them.

But Qian Gu Die Ting, wielding the Panlong Staff, swept it horizontally with unparalleled power, causing the three Title Douluos to cough up blood and instantly lose their ability to fight.

The remaining two Super Douluo, level 98 and 96, did not fall, but they were still clutching their chests, with blood dripping from the corners of their mouths, clearly indicating that they were seriously injured.

The gap between a Super Douluo and a Limit Douluo is like an insurmountable chasm; even if two Super Douluos joined forces, they wouldn't last more than a few moves against Qian Gu Die Ting.

"Panlong Staff, you are from the Qian Gu family, attacking the Tang Clan's territory. Do you intend to start a war with the Tang Clan?" a Super Douluo roared in fear.

Qian Gu Die Ting ignored it and instead touched the wall beside him, and was surprised to find that the defense measures of this military factory were designed to defend against God-Slaying fixed-position soul-guided shells.

Upon this discovery, Qian Gu Die Ting revealed a cruel smile. He had originally worried that using too much power would have some negative consequences, but now it seemed that there was no need to worry too much.

"Qingfeng, go in first to find our target," Qian Gu Dieting instructed.

The silent Qian Gu Qingfeng nodded and rushed into the military factory.

But before Qian Gu Qingfeng could even reach the military factory's central hub, he was intercepted by three Super Douluo who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

Qian Gu Qingfeng summoned his martial soul, the Purgatory Halberd, and unleashed a sweeping slash that emitted a purplish-black light. It took the combined efforts of the three Super Douluo from the Tang Sect to barely block the attack.

But as the saying goes, the gap between Limit Douluo and Super Douluo is like the distance between the sky and the sea. In just a moment, all the Super Douluo stationed here by the Tang Sect fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

"Bang, bang, boom," the surrounding machines exploded one after another under the influence of the powerful soul force, sparks flew everywhere, and countless sparks fell around the fallen Tang Sect Super Douluo, mingling with the blood spilled on the ground, making it look extremely heroic.

"Tang Sect, Tang Sect will not let you get away with this!" The level 98 Super Douluo glared angrily at Qian Gu Die Ting.

Qian Gu Die Ting sneered and said coldly, "Don't worry, you won't be alone after you go down. Your sect leader and everyone in the Tang Sect will come to keep you company."

As Qian Gu Die Ting raised his Panlong Staff, about to confront them, a wave of regret suddenly washed over him, and painful memories involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

With a "whoosh," Qian Gu Die Ting instantly snapped back to reality, turned around, swept his staff behind him, retreated a short distance, and looked warily at the newcomer.

Qian Gu Qingfeng also sensed that a powerful enemy was approaching. Ignoring the three people lying on the ground in front of him, he quickly rushed to Qian Gu Die Ting's side.

Qian Gu Die Ting looked at Zang Xin in front of him and cursed inwardly, "Damn it, how did he end up here?"

Zang Xin looked around at the Tang Clan members lying on the ground, seemingly lifeless, and at the sparks flying everywhere, a scene of utter chaos. His eyes were fierce, as if flames were about to burst forth from them.

He now understood who was behind the attacks on the Tang Clan during this period; he should have realized it sooner.

"Qian Gu Die Ting! You're courting death!" Zang Xin exuded a palpable killing intent, his powerful mental energy locking onto the two people before him.

Qian Gu Die Ting regained his composure, showing no sign of guilt for attacking the other party's territory. He leisurely said, "Palace Master Zang, how about we make a deal? You give me this military factory, and our Spirit Pagoda guarantees not to reveal that your Tang Clan is building a military factory."

Zang Xin sneered and said sternly, "This is the foundation that my Tang Sect has built up over ten thousand years. How can I hand it over to you wolfish and ambitious bastards from the Spirit Transmission Tower?"

"We have ulterior motives?" Qian Gu Dieting sneered, pointing around. "Why don't we let the councilors and citizens of the Federation come and see for themselves, and let them judge who really has ulterior motives?"

Zang Xin's face was grim. The existence of the military factory absolutely could not be exposed. Qian Gu Die Ting had indeed struck at the Tang Clan's weak point.

Zang Xin secretly estimated the reinforcements that Tang Clan would soon arrive, and his aura slowly rose.

Qian Gu Die Ting frowned, secretly on guard, and warned, "Are you sure we want to fight here? You know very well the power of a Limit Douluo. If we start fighting, the powerful soul power fluctuations will immediately cause the advanced mechs and level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells stored in the military factory to explode."

"You know the number of weapons and shells here better than we do. Do you think we can get out of here safely?"

Zang Xin frowned, pretending to ponder, but in reality he was secretly anxious. He had to hold off the two people in front of him until the Tang Clan's reinforcements arrived. They should then be able to resolve the explosion crisis at the military factory.

With differing intentions, neither side dared to make a move, resulting in a stalemate.

After a while, Qian Gu Die Ting gripped the Panlong Staff tightly, deciding that he couldn't wait any longer, or things might change.

Qian Gu Qingfeng realized his father's thoughts, picked up the Purgatory Halberd, and was ready to make a move at any moment.

Zang Xin inwardly groaned. Although he was considered a strongman among the Limit Douluos, it was still too much of a stretch for him to fight two opponents at once, not to mention that one of them was the veteran Limit Douluo, Qian Gu Die Ting.

Just as a major battle was about to break out, a piercing alarm rang out, and a terrifying power began to brew in the warehouse of the military factory where soul-guided devices were stored.

"Zang Xin, are you crazy? You really dare to detonate the soul guidance device in the military factory!" Qian Gu Die Ting roared, turned around and rushed towards the exit, with Qian Gu Qing Feng following closely behind.

Zang Xin was filled with doubt, but his hands moved with undiminished speed. His powerful soul force lifted the Tang Sect Title Douluo who had fallen to the ground and pulled him back to the ground as well.

As he fled, Zang Xin looked back into the military factory. He hadn't detonated the soul-guided device, so something must have happened in the central control area.

……

Some time ago, researchers at the military factory gathered in front of the elevator leading to the top floor of Xuan Shi Tang Men Company.

They were arranged to evacuate here when the military factory was attacked.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and a round object rolled out of the elevator. The researchers looked over curiously.

The thing suddenly exploded, releasing a thick green mist. After the researchers inhaled the green mist, they felt a dizzying sensation.

Before they could retaliate, a dark figure flashed through the thick green fog, and the researchers collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

The dark figure waved his hand, and the thick green mist was collected into a small bottle in his hand.
