Okada Masaki said helplessly, "It's difficult. This person has no weaknesses, and his interpersonal relationships are simple. Apart from Wei Yingfeng and Wang Xingyu, we can't find anyone related to him. The problem is that we can't catch Wei Yingfeng, let alone deal with Wang Xingyu."

Shang Gu Zhenyi said in a deep voice, "I can invite Wang Zheng out for tea."

Kengo Uwano and Masaki Okada both looked at Shinichi Kamiya.

The Ancient True Daoist said, "I have sparred with Wang Zheng before, so we have met once. I believe he will give me this face."

Just as Masaki Okada was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

An agent from the Sakura Squad walked in and said, "Mr. Okada, Wang Zheng's whereabouts have been found."

Okada Masaki's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Where?"

"Longhe jadeite mining area. There are reports that chalcedony has been found there."

"Chalcedony?"

Shang Gu Zhenyi's eyes lit up, and he asked sharply, "Is the information accurate?"

The agent pulled out a cell phone and said, "Absolutely accurate. Our people are inside. This is a picture of the chalcedony."

Shang Gu Zhenyi examined it carefully, confirmed it was chalcedony, and asked, "Why is there no news from outside?"

The agent said, "After the discovery of chalcedony, the Longhe jadeite mining area was placed under martial law by the military. Everyone could enter but not leave, and all electronic devices were confiscated. Our people managed to send out the photos ahead of time, but we can't contact them now."

Okada Masaki asked, "Is Wang Zheng inside the mining area?"

The agent said, "No. There's a house near the Longhe Jadeite Mine. Yue Rui, the sect leader of the Thunder Sword Sect of Xia Kingdom, stayed there for a while in order to find materials to make flying swords. Wang Zheng is currently staying there temporarily. We estimate that he is waiting for news about chalcedony, because hundreds of stone-cutting masters have been invited into the mine."

Okada Masaki waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go back now."

After the agent left, Kengo Yu hesitated and said, "Could this be a trap set by Wang Zheng? Is it really such a coincidence that they discovered chalcedony at this time?"

Shang Gu Zhenyi said, "Whether it's a trap or not is simple. We can have someone check if there are any experts within ten kilometers of Wang Zheng's courtyard."

Kengo Uwano's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "I have a ninja under my command who is best at tracking and gathering information."

Okada Masaki said, "I also have professionally trained men. In that case, we'll immediately send them to investigate the surrounding area, making sure not to alert Wang Zheng."

Shang Gu Zhenyi asked, "And what about us?"

A fierce killing intent flashed in Okada Masaki's eyes as he said, "All the experts will go there in batches. If the information is accurate, and there is only Wang Zheng there, we will make our move at dawn."

Shang Gu Zhenyi said in a deep voice, "Wang Zheng is no ordinary person. He will immediately become alert at the slightest disturbance."

Yuhe Kenjiro said, "Then set up the Bagua Formation only two kilometers away from Wang Zheng's courtyard. I will personally go to assassinate him. If I miss the first time, I will immediately flee far away and bring him into the ambush."

Shang Gu Zhen nodded and said, "I can set up a Five Elements Illusion Array that can create illusions, which should have some effect on Wang Zheng."

Okada Masaki said, "Then let's set up the Bagua Formation and the Five Elements Illusion Formation in advance. I'll go find the head of the intelligence organization of the United States and ask them to send experts to cooperate."

Kengo Yu said in a deep voice, "I will send a message back to the Qing Shen Sect in the country. If so many of our experts cannot kill Wang Zheng this time, then they should give up on revenge."

Okada Masaki picked up his teacup and said, "I believe Wang Zheng is a human being, not a god. I wish us a resounding victory."

Shinichi Kamiya and Kengo Uwano each raised their teacups and said, "May you achieve a resounding victory."

That evening, Japan and the United States gathered forty-eight experts and appeared at a hotel only twenty kilometers away from the Longhe mining area.

By this time, the person who went to inquire about the news had already replied.

There aren't many experts in the entire Longhe mining area.

The Xia Kingdom's Security Bureau and experts from various gangs and sects were all in Xiafei City, and there was no unusual activity.

Masaki Okada had no doubts about this news.

Because if he were the one who discovered chalcedony, he certainly wouldn't tell anyone either.

On the other side, Wang Xingyu was on the phone with Zhang Jie.

"Mr. Wang, the two major organizations from Japan and the United States, along with the experts from the Qingshen Cult, have left Xiafei City in batches. I suspect they have already gone to your location."

"That's exactly what I want."

"The problem is that there are too many of them, and they are all top-notch experts."

Tell me about it.

"The Vice-Principal of the Qing Shen Sect, Zong Yu and Ye Jianwu, the head of the Japanese intelligence group, Okada Masaki, and the head of the intelligence organization of the Lighthouse Country, Lake, are all top-level experts in the late stage of the Innate Realm. Shang Gu Zhenyi is a master of Yin-Yang arts. There are at least eight experts in the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, more than twenty experts in the early stage of the Innate Realm, and at least seven experts of Yin-Yang arts. In total, there are at least forty people. Such a lineup is terrifying. Mr. Wang, you are in great danger right now. It would be best if you entered the military camp."

"If I enter the military camp, they won't assassinate me. Besides, there aren't that many experts, and I don't want to fake my death. Don't worry, I'll help you eliminate as many experts as possible, leaving only two or three kittens as witnesses to my death."

"Mr. Wang, you are too confident."

Wang Xingyu chuckled and said, "What? Worried that something will happen to me? Hehe, don't worry. In my eyes, a late-stage Innate Realm expert is no different from an ant. I'm also near a military camp, so they won't dare to use weapons of mass destruction. Therefore, my safety is not a problem."

Zhang Jie sighed and said, "Please be careful."

Wang Xingyu hummed in agreement and said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xingyu took out twelve sheets of yellow paper and used cinnabar to carve the "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman" on them. This was the most powerful thunder talisman he knew.

Once thrown, the talisman will unleash hundreds of bolts of lightning, attacking enemies indiscriminately.

A great man once said, "We should despise the enemy strategically, but take the enemy seriously tactically."

Wang Xingyu didn't take Okada Masaki and his ilk seriously, but that didn't mean he wouldn't make some preparations.

After drawing the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman, Wang Xingyu sat cross-legged on the bed and entered a state of complete absorption in the world.

At three in the morning, a strange noise startled Wang Xingyu.

Wang Xingyu immediately released his divine sense and discovered a man in black stealthily approaching his house. Two kilometers away, there was another group of people hiding in the dense forest on both sides of the road.

Damn, it's the Bagua formation again! These guys never learn!

To avoid being discovered, Wang Xingyu immediately withdrew his divine sense.

Shortly after, a crescent-shaped blade of light pierced through the glass, heading straight for Wang Xingyu's neck.

The air was thick with menacing aura, and the killing intent was palpable.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Wang Xingyu sneered, struck out with his palm to extinguish the blade's light, and then dashed out of the room like lightning.

A dark figure could be seen running forward, heading straight for the highway.

"The acting was quite convincing."

Wang Xingyu immediately chased after him.

Wang Xingyu stopped when he was less than ten meters away from the ambush site.

He glanced at the dense forest on both sides, feigning a puzzled expression, then shouted sternly, "Who goes there? Come out."

Neither of the experts on either side of the woods uttered a sound.

Wang Xingyu sneered, "If you're not coming out, then I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Clap clap clap clap"

As applause erupted, Shanggu Zhenyi appeared before Wang Xingyu like a ghost.

"The Bagua Formation was created by Mr. Kobayakawa Jin, the leader of the Qingshen Sect. It can collect all information. I didn't expect Mr. Wang to be able to sense us. He's really amazing."

Wang Xingyu glanced around and said, "Unfortunately, it's too late. I've already fallen into your trap. Mr. Shanggu, your injuries are healing very quickly. Judging from your mental state, your cultivation seems to have improved considerably."

Shang Gu Zhen nodded and said, "After my crushing defeat at your hands last time, I went into seclusion for a while and made some progress."

Wang Xingyu said, "It seems you want to kill me this time, don't you?"

The Ancient True One Sect: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I promised someone that I would use your head to gain an opportunity to establish a sect. I've already thought of a name for the sect: the True One Sect."

Wang Xingyu smiled and said, "The temptation to establish a sect is indeed considerable. If I were in your shoes, I would do the same. That masked gentleman, judging from your movements, your cultivation level should be at the late stage of the Innate Realm. In this situation, you shouldn't need to hide anymore, right?"

The man in black removed his mask, bowed slightly to Wang Xingyu, and said, "I am Kengo Yuwano, a disciple of Jin Kobayakawa, and the vice pope of the Seishin Cult."

Wang Xingyu nodded and said, "So you're Pope Kozao's disciple. No wonder you're so skilled and have such high cultivation. Mr. Yuhe, you've come to avenge your master, haven't you?"

Yuhe Kenjiro said, "Yes. My master died at your hands. I know I am no match for you, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic. Please do not blame me, Mr. Wang."

Wang Xingyu waved his hand and said, "It is only right for me to avenge my master. How could I blame you? As a Chinese, I don't have much affection for you Japanese. But I have to admit that, in terms of both cultivation and demeanor, Mr. Kobayakawa Jin is the best among them and the most outstanding opponent I have ever encountered in my life."

Kengo Uwano showed a grateful expression and said, "To receive such praise from Mr. Wang, I believe my master would be very proud in the afterlife."

Wang Xingyu said calmly, "After a while, you can go down and tell Mr. Kozao what I just said."

Kenjiro Uwano said, "Mr. Wang, it might be you who goes down."

Wang Xingyu laughed heartily and said, "In my life, I have roamed the world and been invincible. I have encountered countless masters. I'm afraid you juniors cannot kill me."

The Ancient True Daoist said, "Since Mr. Wang is so confident, how about answering me a question?"

Wang Xingyu said, "Go ahead and ask."

The Ancient True Daoist asked, "Who is Wang Xingyu to you?"

Wang Xingyu chuckled and said, "He can be considered my disciple in a rough sense. I met him more than 20 years ago and almost immediately realized that this kid had extraordinary talent in cultivation and martial arts, so I passed on my skills to him."

"I never expected this kid to surpass his master and even learn from other things. I wonder where he learned the art of sword control. Hehe, my lineage has a worthy successor."

"Mr. Shanggu, if you're talking to me about Wang Xingyu to get rid of him, then hurry up and do it. Don't give me any face."

"This kid has extremely high cultivation, yet he's even more low-key than this old man, preferring to live the life of an ordinary person. It's simply outrageous."

The Ancient True Daoist said, "Perhaps it is precisely this detached mindset that has enabled Mr. Wang Xingyu to achieve his current level of cultivation at such a young age."

Wang Xingyu deliberately feigned surprise, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Daoist principle of non-action—what you said isn't entirely without merit."

Kenjiro Uwano said, "Mr. Wang, considering you are a grandmaster, please leave your last words."

Wang Xingyu scoffed and said, "You're the ones who should be leaving your last words. After ninety-two years of cultivation, it seems I have no choice but to unleash a massacre today."

More than a dozen experts emerged from the woods on both sides.

The other dozen or so people swayed and blocked Wang Xingyu's escape route.

Wang Xingyu glanced around and looked at the two middle-aged men standing side by side with Yuhe Yejian and Shang Ko Shinichi, and said, "Who are you? State your names."

"Masaki Okada, head of the Japanese intelligence organization."

"Lake, head of the intelligence organization of the United States."

Wang Xingyu suddenly realized and said, "I understand. The Qing Shen Sect killed me to avenge their leader, while you killed me to eliminate Wei Yingfeng, right?"

Okada Masaki said, "Exactly. Mr. Wang, please leave your last words. As long as they are not excessive, we will certainly comply."

Wang Xingyu's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "You do indeed have the means to kill me. Fine, if I die, please cremate me and give my ashes to Wang Xingyu, is that alright?"

"no problem."

After saying that, Okada Masaki drew his katana and, with uncanny steps, charged toward Wang Xingyu.

Kengo Uwano and Lake also attacked from the left and right flanks.

The former also used a samurai sword, its blade sharp and gleaming, and he chose the shortest angle to slash diagonally at Wang Xingyu.

The latter used his fists, and the force of his punches was incredibly powerful. Combined with his towering 1.9-meter frame, it was as if a giant mountain was pressing down on him.

All three had reached the peak of the late-stage Innate Realm, and their full-force attack would force even a half-step Heavenly Realm expert to retreat.

This is not the end.

Almost simultaneously, Shanggu Zhenyi took out a jade talisman from his pocket. It was covered with a bunch of messy runes. He channeled his magic power into it, and the runes emitted a blazing light.

Within a radius of 100 meters, the eight runes buried in the ground also lit up.

The Five Elements Illusion Array is activated.

Shanggu Zhenyi pointed in Wang Xingyu's direction, and dozens of thick trees immediately appeared in the void, heading straight for Wang Xingyu's face.

The trees are formed from magical power. When they hit an opponent, they do not cause physical damage, but they penetrate the enemy's meridians and internal organs, causing serious internal injuries.

The scariest thing is that only Wang Xingyu can see these trees; the other three can't see them at all.

"What a clever illusion."

Wang Xingyu sighed in admiration, then took out two talismans. One flew towards Okada Masaki, and the other struck the trees.
