Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

Mo Yu possessed exceptional martial arts talent. In his early years, after breaking through to the level of a first-class martial artist, he was unwilling to remain confined to the sheltered environment of his family and resolutely ventured into the martial world. However, due to the peaceful and uneventful situation within the Dragon Kingdom, it was difficult to find opportunities for training. So, he simply went overseas and plunged into the most dangerous mercenary battlefield.

Overseas, Mo Yu relied on his hard skills to fight his way up from the bottom of the mercenary ranks. While frantically accumulating combat experience on the brink of life and death, he secretly consolidated his forces and personally built his own mercenary group.

It wasn't until an urgent message arrived from his family that he temporarily halted his overseas expansion, returned home to keep his appointment, and married Wenren Yajing in Shanghai.

However, Wenren Yajing was unaware of his identity as the leader of an overseas mercenary group from beginning to end.

Even after marriage, Mo Yu continued to quietly travel overseas, personally leading teams to carry out high-difficulty missions. Only after he broke through to the Innate Realm and his foundation was solid did he gradually retire behind the scenes. He would only personally come out to oversee the missions when his subordinates encountered difficult tasks.

Long Yi, with his hands hanging limply and an expressionless face, reported the intelligence from the organization. His gaze fell on Xiao Chen, whose complexion had eased and whose injuries had stabilized, and a dark glint flashed in the depths of his eyes, as if he were plotting something.

"What's the name of his mercenary group?"

Although Xiao Chen was out of danger, he could only lie stiffly on the bed, his whole body wrapped in bandages, his face so gloomy it could drip water, and every word he spoke seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a chilling aura.

"The Temple of Killing Gods!" Long Yi replied decisively, then added, "However, since last night, all members of the Temple of Killing Gods have gone into hiding."

Through covert investigations and meticulous tracking, we confirmed that they had all evacuated their overseas bases and infiltrated the Dragon Kingdom, most likely... right here in Haishi.

Long Yi guessed Xiao Chen's thoughts and simply revealed the key information that the God of Slaughter had abandoned its overseas posts.

"Heh, I thought Mo Yu was so tough, turns out he's a coward!" Xiao Chen sneered, his tone full of disdain, and then snorted coldly, "Since he voluntarily gave up the overseas base and withdrew his personnel back to Hai City, then notify Fox Hunt and have those guys rush to Hai City!"

Once I've recovered from my injuries, I'll personally seek revenge!

At this point, he changed the subject, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes: "Speaking of which, I should thank him. Although this encounter ended in a crushing defeat, it inadvertently helped me break through the shackles of martial arts. Once my injuries heal, I will be able to completely stabilize my Innate Realm, and then dealing with him will be a piece of cake!"

Long Yi glanced at Xiao Chen without showing any emotion, his face still cold and indifferent, but his mind was in turmoil: Easy peasy? And he looks down on Mo Yu? The Killing God Hall built its empire from scratch, and they're formidable figures overseas. You think you can force Mo Yu to abandon his overseas base because he's afraid of you? You're overthinking it!

Despite his inner grumbling, Long Yi didn't dare utter a single word. He had grown up in the Dragon King's Palace since childhood and had been nurtured by it for many years. He was absolutely loyal to the organization and was only following orders from Xiao Chen. If Xiao Chen could truly grow up in the future, he would naturally join his ranks. But for now, he truly looked down on this new Dragon King.

Undeniably, Xiao Chen's talent for cultivation is indeed very strong, but his character is really questionable. Although the Dragon King Palace is a mercenary organization that does things for money, most of its members are not exactly good people.

If, during a mission, one resorts to any means necessary to achieve the objective and minimize losses, that is understandable, since it is about taking responsibility for one's own life and the lives of one's subordinates.

But you, a dignified Dragon King, resorted to such despicable means as drugging a woman to pursue her. You have utterly disgraced the Dragon King's Palace!

Even if you abuse your status as the Dragon King to intimidate others, Long Yi wouldn't utter a single complaint; that would at least demonstrate the Dragon King's Palace's power. But to drug someone? And to target a woman of ordinary background? This behavior is truly despicable…

He had never seen a Dragon King with such low character! Oh, no, including Xiao Chen, he had only seen two Dragon Kings in total. Perhaps he was just too inexperienced? In fact, he hadn't followed the old Dragon King for very long, so it was hard to say whether the old Dragon King was like this when he was young.

As his thoughts raced, upon hearing Xiao Chen say that he would seek revenge on Mo Yu after recovering from his injuries, Long Yi unconsciously frowned, his lips moved, but he ultimately chose to remain silent.

He didn't know the old Dragon King's past, but ever since Xiao Chen became the old Dragon King's disciple, he had become Xiao Chen's protector and knew his personality all too well.

To put it nicely, it's confidence; having had a smooth career since its debut, it has long since developed an arrogant personality. To put it bluntly, it's arrogance and ignorance.

Mo Yu was able to suppress him steadily. With such strength, how could Xiao Chen, a guy who had just escaped death by chance and had only recently broken through to the Innate Realm, actually think that he could contend with him?

Don't forget, Mo Yu, with his mid-stage Innate Realm cultivation, forcefully suppressed this late-stage Innate Realm expert! What, you, a mere early-stage Innate Realm cultivator, really think you're some kind of monstrous genius from a fantasy novel? Able to cross two minor realms and defeat me, a late-stage Innate Realm powerhouse?

Long Yi sighed inwardly, but never spoke up to dissuade him. He knew Xiao Chen too well; even if he did, the other party might not listen. Moreover, he felt that someone who could be favored by the Old Dragon King wouldn't be so stupid as to say that. Those words were probably just said in anger; otherwise, he would really be worried about the future of the Dragon King's Palace.

Leaving aside the power struggle between Xiao Chen and Long Yi, in a private room of a restaurant near the Yang Group in a bustling area of ​​Shanghai, four men and one woman were sitting around a round table, chatting and laughing in a lively atmosphere.

"team leader!"

As the door to the private room was pushed open, a tall and handsome young man walked in. He was dressed in a well-tailored business suit and had a calm and capable demeanor. Upon seeing him, the five people in the private room immediately stood up and greeted him with great enthusiasm.

"Why did you come to Haishi?" After the young man sat down, a hint of doubt flashed between his brows. Then, as if he had thought of something, he quickly added, "If it involves classified information, then pretend I didn't ask."

The five people in front of him were no ordinary individuals; they were members of the Dragon Group, the top special forces unit in the Dragon Kingdom. The fact that the entire team had gathered in Hai City meant they must have a special mission. His question earlier was indeed somewhat abrupt.

"It does involve classified information, but you, Captain, should have known about this," the only female member of the team said, taking a small device from her backpack, turning it on, and placing it on the table.

Another composed young man quickly circulated his internal energy, and an invisible protective shield of internal energy instantly unfolded, completely enveloping the six people in the private room and isolating them from all external detection.

Upon seeing this entourage, the young man who had just entered the private room immediately became serious and said in a deep voice, "What kind of mission is it that requires you to specifically ask me for help?"

The young man's name is Ye Fan. He was the former captain of the five. Although he has now left the Dragon Group, he will definitely return to the team without hesitation if the country calls upon him. However, as the country grows stronger, retired members like him are rarely reused. Once they are reused, it means that things are not simple.

Saying it concerns national security might be an exaggeration, but it is definitely a major event that will affect all parties involved.

"Captain, don't be nervous, it's not a big deal." The calm young man reassured him. "It's just that the mission location is in Hai City, and you happen to be here, so the higher-ups thought of you. To be precise, notifying you is just an extra layer of insurance."

"Chen Xuan, you're the captain now. I've retired. Just call me Lao Ye or Brother Ye." Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's tense expression relaxed slightly, and he nodded, saying, "Tell me, what is it that requires me to act as this insurance?"

"Our main mission is to protect Professor Luo Lingtian's personal safety." Chen Xuan shrugged, stating the purpose of their trip, and then a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. "However, as you know, Brother Ye, although Professor Luo is a leading figure in the scientific research field, his martial arts strength is also terrifyingly absurd. We are here this time mainly as a precaution."

As members of the Dragon Group, they possessed extremely high authority and had long been in contact with Luo Lingtian. They also knew some of the legendary professor's deeds. It can only be said that Luo Lingtian was an absolute prodigy, one in a hundred or even a thousand years, excelling in both literature and martial arts.

"What happened? Is it another case of overseas forces targeting Longteng Technology?" Ye Fan's expression turned serious, his tone tinged with surprise.

As the former captain of the Dragon Group, he naturally knew about Luo Lingtian and had even sparred with him, knowing that Luo's martial arts skills far surpassed his own.

Given Luo Lingtian's strength, the fact that he still needed the Dragon Group to send people to protect him made him think that overseas forces were about to target Longteng Technology again.

Although Luo Lingtian's identity has been kept strictly confidential and he himself has maintained a very low profile, nothing is absolute, and no one can guarantee that there won't be spies leaking information. After all, spies are something that can never be completely eradicated.

Although Luo Lingtian possesses formidable martial arts prowess, if his identity were truly exposed, with modern technology, it wouldn't be impossible for him to back down if someone was caught off guard.

Although martial artists are powerful, they are still no match for modern weapons. At least, with his current cultivation level of late-stage Innate Realm, he still needs to be cautious when facing modern weapons.

As for the power of those at the Celestial Realm or even the Land Immortal Realm, it was beyond his current comprehension.

Although there are records in books, the social environment in which those powerful figures lived was completely different from that of today, making it impossible to refer to them.

"No, that's not it. We don't really know the specifics. We just know that Haishi is being treated specially by the higher-ups for some unknown reasons, and there might be some trouble going to happen."

Chen Xuan shrugged helplessly. The above was just a brief introduction to the situation, and the order given was to protect Luo Lingtian and prevent him from being harmed by someone.

As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Although Luo Lingtian has always kept a low profile and not many people know his hidden identity, his talent is too precious for the country to afford even the slightest mistake.
