Chapter 107 Mirage

"He's lucky."

Watching the middle-aged man in the plaid shirt being taken away by the logistics department, Xie Chong couldn't help but mutter something to himself.

The logistics department quickly arrived to handle the aftermath, and the various sects were also summoned for questioning. It wasn't an interrogation, but the fact that the Desire Realm Society was able to infiltrate the situation suggests that someone might be collaborating with them.

Shen Qing's sparring session with the man in the plaid shirt was naturally delayed.

However, he was not having an easy time. His strength was average, and he was injured by the Desire Realm Society. Not to mention, the authorities could not ignore his previous provocation.

The Public Security Administration Punishment Law includes a provision against insulting public officials. With so many people around to testify, detention is inevitable.

In the evening, the exchange meeting came to a temporary end.

Severely injuring and repelling a seventh-rank expert ensured the smooth conclusion of the exchange meeting, which is another achievement, but since it's still the same event, let's leave it for now.

However, there are still bonuses and contribution points.

Leaning back on the sofa, Shen Qing looked at the text message notification from the bank; the cash in her account was approaching one million.

But I can't really say I felt anything.

Just now, the branch where I opened the bank account even called me, saying they had a dedicated account manager and recommending some financial products.

Unfortunately, Shen Qing wasn't interested in this and hung up the phone after only a few words.

While scrolling through his phone, a news article suddenly caught his attention.

A massive mirage has appeared in the suburbs of a coastal city! It lasted for more than three hours and experts say it is extremely rare!

Shen Qing subconsciously clicked on the news, which featured a mountain hidden in the clouds.

"A mirage?"

Meanwhile, in a residential community in Binhai City.

The door was flung open, and Jinzi, sitting on the sofa as usual, looked at her tablet without looking up and asked, "Looks like today's operation didn't go smoothly?"

As Lu Tianzhuang entered, a strong smell of blood immediately filled his nostrils, and he frowned slightly.

"And couldn't you have cleaned it up first? Are you afraid of not being noticed?"

"Damn it, I almost got screwed this time, can't you say something nice?"

Lu Tianzhuang plopped down on the sofa and said irritably, "They're just a bunch of ordinary people, how could they possibly recognize me?"

He casually tore off his already ripped coat, revealing several piercing wounds on his body, most of which had healed and were now just scars.

But the arrow wound on his back was particularly gruesome.

The edges were charred black, and you could even see the white bones covered in flesh and blood inside. It hadn't fully healed yet, and it almost killed him.

"A mere eighth-rank nobody, wielding a magical weapon, actually managed to withstand my attacks."

Lu Tianzhuang spat a mouthful of blood into the trash can, gritting his teeth and saying, "What a fucking disgrace, two of my men were captured alive."

He said that, but he knew very well that the kid's strength completely overwhelmed him.

If it weren't for the opponent's slower reaction and the difference in their seventh-grade Yuan power, he really wouldn't have been able to escape today.

This kind of ability to fight beyond one's level is at the level of a true disciple in their sect, and requires careful training.

This desolate place has only been recovering from spiritual stagnation for a few years, and the spiritual energy is still thin. How could such a guy have been born here?

"This will teach you a lesson. You asked for it because you looked down on magic weapons and talismans."

Jinzi didn't take it seriously, and finally looked up. "By the way, I met with that Corpse Sleeper."

"What?!"

Lu Tianzhuang suddenly stood up, wincing as he pulled at the wound on his back. "Those bastards aren't just looking to take over territory in the New World."

They're trying to create a kingdom of corpses, a land full of dead people. We're not much better off.

"Let me finish speaking."

Jinzi put down the tablet, gesturing for him to be quiet. "That so-called Bureau of Heterodox Affairs, they control a stable passage to the Realm of Evil."

"What?!"

Lu Tianzhuang's eyes widened in surprise.

"Don't overreact," Jinzi frowned, "although this news is indeed outrageous."

He was also curious as to how a world that had only recently acquired spiritual energy and whose strongest beings were only around the sixth rank of supernatural powers could open a passage to the evil realm.

There are only a handful of forces with that kind of power in their territory, and each of them has a history of over a thousand years.

It seems that besides those so-called firearms, this world has some hidden trump cards that they don't know about, and they should not be underestimated.

It's a pity that the Corpse Sleeping Path is also unclear, or perhaps they know but choose not to speak.

A cold glint flashed in Jinzi's eyes.

"You and I both know the importance of this matter. Although it is dangerous, it also contains unlimited resources."

"Take it!"

Lu Tianzhuang's eyes lit up, and he slammed his fist on the table. "This way, we'll both have the possibility of continuing to improve our strength!"

Resources in this world are too scarce, and they have always been hiding in the shadows, making it extremely difficult for them to improve their strength after reaching the seventh rank.

"You're dreaming." Jinzi couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. "Trying to rob us by force? Even if all the forces here were combined, they wouldn't be enough to fill someone's teeth."

However, we really can't let them explore the realm of evil so peacefully.

Otherwise, with the resources supplied by the evil realm, things will only get harder for us in the future.

Jinzi's expression immediately turned serious.

Although the Realm of Evil is fraught with danger, it will certainly be very difficult for the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs to explore it.

Given their current situation, even if the two realms truly begin to merge, it's unlikely that a top-tier powerhouse will emerge; that can't be created simply by piling up resources.

But he knew very well that by then, they, the pioneers, would probably have become cannon fodder.

"Then what should we do?" Lu Tianzhuang frowned; he hated having to think.

Jinzi didn't answer directly. Instead, she picked up the tablet, manipulated it for a while, and then turned the screen towards Lu Tianzhuang.

The screen displays a news article: "[Large-scale mirage appears in the suburbs of a coastal city]".

"Is this a mountain in the Desolate Wilderness Mountains?" Lu Tianzhuang stared at the screen for a while before recognizing its outline. "Is the merging of the two realms accelerating?"

His expression turned serious.

"Yes, although most people in this world think it's a mirage."

Jinzi's lips suddenly curled up. "But we can take this opportunity to take advantage of the weakened barrier between the two realms and actively trigger a wave of devouring from the realm of evil thoughts."

Seeing Lu Tianzhuang's puzzled expression, he explained, "According to the Sleeping Corpse Path, their passage is nearby, and that suburb is right next to the capital, close enough."

"Now that such a large-scale mirage has appeared, wouldn't the forces attending the exchange meeting be curious?"

"Aren't all so-called treasures born from extraordinary celestial phenomena?"

Jinzi's smile deepened as she leaned back on the sofa, her expression calm and confident.

He believed that those forces should have similar information, but of course, if they didn't, it wouldn't matter; he could just add fuel to the fire.

"Those so-called folk lineages were already at odds with the government, and now they've gathered together perfectly, with the right timing and circumstances."

As long as we attract their attention by using the breathing of evil thoughts, and make a big enough commotion, this passage will not be able to be hidden.

He shrugged, "Can't we take advantage of the chaos?"

Lu Tianzhuang glanced at him, raising an eyebrow. "You're really cunning."

"There should be ordinary people living around there, right?"

Jinzi nodded. "That's why the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs has even less reason to refuse the help of these civilian forces; the passage can't be hidden."

Completely stopping the Bureau of Dissidents is impossible; he just wants to get a share of the pie by leveraging these civilian forces.

"When will we make our move?" Lu Tianzhuang asked.

Jinzi answered without hesitation, "Starting tomorrow, we can't wait for them to leave."

Also, we'll be meeting at a different location next time; I'll let you know the details later.
