The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

After half an hour.

Ye Xiao and the foreman arrived at the teleportation array.

This was Ye Xiao's first time experiencing a teleportation array after time travel.

After he and the foreman entered the teleportation array...

The foreman took out his identification badge.

Then it is placed on a special activation device on the teleportation array.

【drop! 】

Identity verification successful!

[Send to the destination?]

The foreman quickly selected "yes".

next moment.

Endless white light slowly rose from within the teleportation array, completely engulfing the two people's bodies.

Ye Xiao could feel that his body seemed to have entered a floating state.

They freely traversed the spatial passages.

About ten seconds later.

Ye Xiao felt his floating body slowly sink.

As the blinding white light around us dissipated.

Ye Xiao was also able to slowly open his eyes.

They appeared inside a park.

Ye Xiao looked at the foreman next to him.

"Where is this?"

At this moment, the foreman whispered to him, "This is one of the industrial parks of Taichu Pharmaceutical."

"Where are you going? I can take you there again."

Ye Xiao asked, "Jiang City, can we teleport there?"

"Can."

The foreman nodded, then added, "I hope you won't tell anyone about the underground mining area."

Ye Xiao asked, "Underground mining area? What underground mining area? What happened?"

The foreman was satisfied and helped Ye Xiao reactivate the teleportation array's permissions.

Then the destination was set: Jiang City.

next moment.

The teleportation array reappeared with white light.

Five seconds later, Ye Xiao was transported to the next destination.

Jiang City Teleportation Array!

When Ye Xiao came out from inside.

He discovered that he was located in a relatively bustling and prosperous urban area of ​​Jiang City.

The use of teleportation arrays has become a common choice for humanity in this era.

You can get to any place you want in the shortest amount of time.

This is much faster than old cars and airplanes.

Nowadays, the teleportation array in Jiang City holds a position similar to that of an airport or high-speed rail station in the past.

Basically, a typical city only has one teleportation portal.

If it's a top-tier city, then there might be two or three, or even more, teleportation arrays.

When Ye Xiao walked out of the teleportation array.

No one paid much attention to him.

"I wonder what the situation is like at Red Cliff Fortress?"

Ye Xiao was somewhat worried about Su Muyun's condition.

Su Muyun was already injured before he was captured and taken to the Crimson Abyss World.

Because Chiyabao is located in the suburbs of Jiang City.

Therefore, it would be quite troublesome for Ye Xiao to get there.

then.

Ye Xiao then called Wang Hou.

The call was connected.

Wang Hou on the other end of the phone showed a look of surprise.

"Brother Xiao, why did you suddenly call me?"

Ye Xiao asked, "Fatty, are you at school?"

Wang Hou nodded: "I'm here."

Ye Xiao said, "Could you come to the teleportation array in Jiang City and pick me up?"

Upon hearing this...

Wang Hou's expression turned even more surprised.

"Wait, Brother Xiao, how did you end up at the Jiang City teleportation array?"

"Shouldn't you be at Red Cliff Fortress at this time?"

Ye Xiao sighed.

"It's a long story. Come pick me up first, and I'll explain the situation to you in detail."

"Okay, it will take me about an hour to get there."

"No problem, I'll wait for you."

While waiting.

Ye Xiao didn't sit idle either; he found a secluded spot to sit down.

Then he pulled out a top-secret diary he had picked up from the underground mining area.

Then turn the pages and look through them one by one.

This diary is a very thick stack, containing a large amount of experimental data.

And details about the entire Demonic Energy Conversion Array.

It even records the research ideas and directions regarding demonized humans.

Ye Xiao only watched for five minutes.

He then realized something.

"This thing must never be known to anyone that it's in my hands!"

Because everything recorded in this top-secret diary is revolutionary!

such as.

Ye Xiao noticed a page that described the negative effects of extracting demonic energy.

One of them is...

[Accelerating Seal Collapse: Extracting demonic energy reduces pressure within the cracks, causing the sealing runes to loosen. For every year of extraction, the seal's lifespan decreases by three years. Over the past thirty years, the amount of demonic energy extracted has increased tenfold, and the rate of seal collapse has also increased tenfold.]

This alone means that humanity is digging its own grave!

On the surface, Taichu Pharmaceutical and Wanqi Heavy Industry will disclose information to their senior shareholders, telling them that the company is working on something that can transform demonic energy into spiritual energy, which humans can absorb without harm.

This can then attract shareholders' interest, leading to increased investment in the company, which in turn raises the company's stock price, thereby generating more money.

But in reality, their act of extracting demonic energy to convert it into spiritual energy was the root cause of the collapse of the crack seal!

Second.

Taichu Pharmaceuticals developed the "Soul Forbidden Pill" using "Abyssal Asphalt". Users can temporarily increase their strength and even break through their realm, but the price is the erosion of their mind and the shortening of their lifespan.

The top-secret diary records that many extraordinary individuals are top customers of Taichu Pharmaceuticals and have a strong demand for this elixir.

The last point is about demonized humans.

Taichu Pharmaceuticals and Wanqi Heavy Industry are secretly conducting human experiments.

Those who participated in the experiment included volunteers, involuntary participants, and those who were unknowingly transformed into demons.

After becoming demonized, these people will all become exceptionally powerful.

They don't even know pain, fatigue, or fear.

Taichu Pharmaceuticals wanted to conduct research on the demonized humans.

This allows us to extract the factors that make people stronger.

However, Taichu Pharmaceuticals' research did not go very smoothly.

They can extract the genes that make people stronger, but they can't solve a fundamental problem.

When demonic energy is absorbed by the human body, it can cause irreversible damage to the brain.

To put it simply, it's after absorbing a large amount of demonic energy.

People will gradually lose their humanity and eventually become beasts driven by instinct.

But this is not entirely useless research.

As long as one masters the method of controlling demonized people, powerful figures can use this method to cultivate a large number of loyal and devoted assassins!

"What a bunch of lunatics!"

Ye Xiao frowned and cursed under his breath.

"For their own benefit, they are willing to drag the entire human world down with them!"

There is more information in this top-secret diary, but Ye Xiao cannot understand it for the time being.

He put it away first, hoping to find someone knowledgeable to take a look at it later.

After waiting for an hour.

Ye Xiao waited until Wang Hou came to pick him up.

The first thing Wang Houlai said to Ye Xiao was...

"Brother Xiao! Something terrible has happened! Chi Yuan's seal has been broken!"

"Large numbers of monsters are emerging from the Crimson Abyss!"

"Red Cliff Fortress has fallen!"

"Monsters are heading towards our city!"

"The Jiang City military has just issued a red alert. Every adult in Jiang City, regardless of gender, must prepare to go to war!"
