A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

Because of the need to operate discreetly during this mission, none of the members wore the uniforms of the Imperial Guard. Now, this has become the reason for the Tiankun Sect to turn around and bite them.

The meaning of Tiankun Sect is very clear: if they don't openly declare their status as government troops, even if they take action now, Tiankun Sect will have a legitimate reason to intervene when questioned later.

Li Rui cursed inwardly, knowing full well that these people from the Tiankun Sect were part of the government army.

They even knew that they had a secret mission in Baichi City.

Knowing full well that they could not openly and formally reveal their identities, they seized the opportunity to turn the tables on them, accusing them of impersonating government troops.

Li Rui's face darkened; he hadn't expected the people from the Tiankun Sect to be so audacious.

Then, he took out a token symbolizing his status as a member of the government army: "Look carefully, this is what I mean. This is government army business, get out of the way immediately."

However, the man in black remained unyielding: "We'll leave as long as you hand over that kid."

"How dare you obstruct the government troops from carrying out their mission?" Li Rui shouted.

The man in black did not speak.

He naturally couldn't accept that.

No matter what you say, it's wrong.

He didn't back down either, seemingly waiting for something.

suddenly.

An extremely powerful pressure suddenly descended upon this place.

Li Rui's expression changed.

This oppressive aura is at least that of a Nirvana Realm expert!
Lin Yang's eyes also darkened.

In order to capture him, the Tiankun Sect actually went so far as to send out an elder at the Nirvana Realm!
"Gentlemen, I have no intention of interfering with you, but this boy has a grudge against me. Today, I will take him away first."

Along with the oppressive aura, a detached voice echoed through the void.

At the same time, a powerful force enveloped them, making it difficult for them to move.

The men in black, however, were not hindered and bypassed Li Rui and the others, heading straight for Lin Yang to take him away.

"Damn it, are you going against the government army?" Li Rui roared in anger.

"Heh, you're joking. We're only taking away an insignificant nobody; it's hardly an enemy of the government army." That indifferent voice rang out again.

Clearly, he was confident and certain that the Far East Prefecture would not make a big fuss over a small, ordinary prefectural army.

Li Rui was also a little helpless upon hearing this.

The other party came prepared and disguised their identity; the identity of the government troops could not intimidate them.

The other members of the team were also helpless, and could only watch as the men in black rapidly approached Lin Yang.

Lin Yang's expression returned to normal.

He had already guessed who this Nirvana Realm expert who had secretly made the move was.

It's highly likely that it's Elder Pan.

He also felt somewhat helpless about this.

The difference in strength was too great; they had no power to resist in the face of the Nirvana Realm.

Lin Yang quickly considered countermeasures.

at this time.

Another force from the Nirvana Realm suddenly appeared, breaking Elder Pan's power blockade.

"Who dares to ruin my plans?"

Elder Pan's furious voice rang out.

But no one responded to him; the intertwining forces left him no time to attend to Lin Yang.

Li Rui reacted extremely quickly, launching the first attack on the man in black who was about to approach Lin Yang.

Lin Yang also acted quickly, creating distance.

The rest of the team, especially Cheng Fu, roared and charged at the nearest man in black.

However, another unexpected change occurred.

A loud bang came from afar.

At the same moment, beams of light shot into the sky from the City of Blazing.

In an instant, the city was thrown into chaos.

"It's the Ancient Night Clan! They made their move after being exposed!"

Li Rui received the news immediately and shouted out loud.

"What? Ancient Night Clan?"

The men in black who were resisting were clearly unaware that members of the Ancient Night Clan were lurking in White Blaze City, and they were all shocked upon hearing this.

"Evacuate quickly!"

Then, Elder Pan's voice came.

The group of men in black quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

"Don't chase!"

Li Rui shouted, preventing his team from giving chase.

Now that the Ancient Night Clan has taken action, they need to provide support.

"How come people are making a move inside the city too? And those intertwined forces must be at least at the Nirvana Realm!"

The team quickly regrouped, and someone looked at Bai Chicheng in astonishment.

"I don't know, I guess the Ancient Night Clan members in the city have also been discovered." Li Rui shook his head and told everyone to continue with the original plan.

Then, he looked at Lin Yang and asked, "Are you alright? Do you know who the Nirvana Realm expert who secretly helped you just now was?"

Lin Yang shook his head: "I don't know either."

He truly did not know which being had come to his aid.

He had no idea that Nirvana Realm existed.

"Never mind if you don't know. Anyway, we've passed this hurdle for now. Those guys from the Tiankun Sect shouldn't dare to come any further," Li Rui said.

Lin Yang nodded.

The appearance of Ancient Night Clan members at the Nirvana Realm within the city is quite astonishing.

Ancient Night Clan members also appeared outside the city.

The people of Tiankun Sect naturally dared not be careless and risk continuing to charge into the battlefield with them.

With the presence of the Nirvana Realm expert secretly assisting them, Elder Pan is temporarily unable to continue his actions.

"It's a pity we couldn't stop any of them just now, otherwise we would have evidence," Li Rui added.

Lin Yang shook his head slightly: "They all came prepared, there were no weaklings, and they left decisively, so it's not easy to keep them here. But they must be from the Tiankun Sect."

There is absolutely no doubt that the man in black is a disciple of the Tiankun Sect in disguise.

Soon, the team arrived at the location where they were supposed to coordinate, as planned.

Here, things were in complete chaos.

There were actually twenty or thirty members of the Ancient Night Clan fighting desperately.

"So many members of the Ancient Night Clan have infiltrated here?" Lin Yang was very surprised.

He originally thought that a dozen or so would be enough.

I didn't expect there to be so many.

It's important to understand that this is just one of the battlefields.

There are also battles taking place in several other places outside the city.

Furthermore, there are also members of the Ancient Night Clan from the Nirvana Realm within the city.

There must be over a hundred of them in total.

At least a hundred members of the Ancient Night Clan have infiltrated the City of White Ink.

This is an exaggeration.

Shocked, but his hands didn't stop either.

Lin Yang set up several magic arrays, and together with Li Rui and the rest of the team, they joined the main battlefield.

There are quite a few government troops here providing support, numbering fifty or sixty.

They have the advantage in numbers.

However, the ancient Ye clan members who were selected to infiltrate were all elites.

Moreover, they all fought to the death.

For a time, the two were evenly matched.

However, in the end, the government army emerged victorious. After all, this was the human race's home ground, and reinforcements poured in continuously.

Two were captured, the rest were all dead.

The government troops also suffered some casualties.

The main goal was to capture a few alive, which made the government troops hesitant to act too ruthlessly.

The price paid to leave a few survivors was a bit too high.

Fortunately, Lin Yang and his team were all unharmed, with only a few suffering minor injuries.

"We're rushing back to Blazing City to provide support."

The battle here had just ended when Li Rui ordered the team to regroup and rush back to Baichi City.

"Captain, we're afraid we can't be of much help in the fighting inside the city," Cheng Fu said.

The Ancient Night Clan members within the city are at the Nirvana Realm; they are of little use.

“This is an order.” Li Rui didn’t say anything more.

after a while.

The group rushed back to Baichi City.

The situation inside the city was far more dire than anyone had imagined.

The Gu Ye clan seemed to have been prepared for this, knowing that they would be exposed sooner or later, so they made some arrangements in advance to kill people on a large scale.

Many people died in the city; corpses lay everywhere, all of them massacred at the beginning of the battle.

Although the situation is somewhat better than when the siege was launched, it is still appalling.

"Damn it, these damned beasts!" Li Rui couldn't help but curse.

Looking at the ruins in the city, Lin Yang witnessed for the first time the hatred between the Ancient Night Clan and the Human Clan.

Once the two sides start fighting, it will be a fight to the death.

This was the first time he had participated in a war between the two races.

The battle between the two Nirvana Realms has come to an end.

The specific outcome remains unknown.

But it's certain that the Nirvana Realm troops on the government side won; as for casualties, that's unclear.

Lin Yang and his group do not yet have the authority to know.

Several Ancient Night Clan prisoners captured alive outside the city were also taken away.

"Captain, any new instructions?" Lin Yang asked Li Rui.

He wanted to visit the Yun family.

"No." Li Rui shook his head. "Even if there were, it probably wouldn't be our turn. If you want to get things done, just go ahead. I'll send you a message if I get any news."

He knew that Lin Yang had friends in Baichi City, and he also knew that Lin Yang probably wanted to go and check on the situation.

Lin Yang thanked him and headed to the Yun family.

The Yun family's situation was much better than he had imagined. Although they had suffered some losses, they were not serious.

"Lin Yang, you've arrived." Yun Bu seemed to know that Lin Yang had returned, and was actually waiting for him outside the Yun family's residence.

"Manager Yunbu, what's this?" Lin Yang asked, somewhat surprised.

"I thought you would definitely come to see me, so I waited here, and sure enough, you did."

Yunbu smiled and continued:
"Thank you for your earlier reminder; it saved us from disaster this time."

"Manager Yunbu, you flatter me. Even if I didn't say it, I guess you all know some inside information." Lin Yang waved his hand.

"I did know some of it, but we were still very grateful for your repeated reminders, which allowed us to relocate some people and belongings in advance. Otherwise, the losses this time would have been much greater," Yunbu said earnestly.

Lin Yang didn't say anything more.

Before leaving the city, he sent a message to Yunbu, informing them that something was about to happen in Baichi City and that they should make preparations.

It seems to have worked.

Yunbu then said, "You should go back to the prefectural city as soon as possible, otherwise that old bastard Pan Yuan will find another opportunity to deal with you."

Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat: "Manager Yunbu, do you know that Pan Yuan attacked me?"

Yun Bu smiled slightly: "Who do you think is blocking him outside the city?"

"This..." Lin Yang was taken aback, then realized what he meant and couldn't help but ask, "Is it your ancestor?"

Yun Bu nodded with a smile: "That's right. We knew when that old fellow Pan Yuan came to Bai Chi City that he would definitely make a move if you left the city, so the ancestor paid a little attention. We didn't expect it to be true."

Lin Yang immediately said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Ancestor Yun. If it weren't for you, I would probably be in grave danger this time. May I meet Ancestor Yun and thank you in person?"

Yunbu laughed heartily: "Don't be so polite. Your news has been a great help to my clan. As for meeting the ancestor..."

He shook his head: "There's no need for that for now. My ancestor acted secretly just now. You should know that our Yun family is still no match for the Tiankun Sect. My ancestor doesn't want to be exposed yet, so please understand."

Lin Yang nodded quickly: "I understand. Then I won't bother you any longer. I'll take my leave now."

He understood what Yunbu, or rather the Yun family, meant.

The Yun family does not want to directly confront the Tiankun Sect.

He should avoid having too much contact with the Yun family.

Therefore, from beginning to end, it was Yunbu who had contact with him.

Lin Yang left the Yun family.

On the way back, I saw that some people had already started rebuilding some buildings and disposing of the bodies.

This made Lin Yang sigh, realizing that Bai Chi City was indeed quite unfortunate.

Previously, they encountered an attack by the Paladin horde, and now they have suffered further damage from the Ancient Night Clan.

This is indeed quite unfortunate for an ordinary city like Baichi City.

"This is utterly an undeserved disaster!"

Lin Yang sighed inwardly.

Back in the squad, everyone was resting.

When Li Rui saw him return, he said, "We can go back to the prefectural city now. This mission is over, and we can have a good rest for a while."

"Can we go back now?" Lin Yang couldn't help but ask.

“Well, we don’t need to handle the cleanup work here in Baichi City, but there’s no need to rush back. You can rest here for a few more days,” Li Rui said.

……

a few days later.

Lin Yang and his team returned to the prefectural city.

After a long and arduous journey back to the prefectural city, Li Rui said, "The higher-ups said that we all made contributions to this mission, so we can rest for a while longer. We will be notified separately about the next mission."

Lin Yang returned to his cave dwelling.

He didn't rest for long; instead, after a short break, he began cultivating.

The near-kiss outside of Whitefire City made him realize that he had to become stronger, and he had to become stronger as soon as possible.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yang was cultivating that day when Cheng Fu suddenly came to visit, bringing some wine with him.

The two then began drinking together in the courtyard.

After chatting for a while, Cheng Fu said:

"You know what? The higher-ups subjected those few Ancient Night Clan members to all sorts of torture and even soul-searching, but none of it came to a good result. Those Ancient Night Clan members were all placed under a restriction, and they would die if their souls were searched."

"I really don't know about this. Where did you find out?" Lin Yang asked in return.

“This is no secret,” Cheng Fu chuckled. “However, despite this, there are still rumors that they went to great lengths to infiltrate Baichi City, apparently to find something, which should be a priceless treasure.”

"You know that too?" Lin Yang asked in surprise.

"Hehe, I not only know this, but I also know that not only the Ancient Night Clan is looking for that treasure, but even our own people are looking for it, but so far we have found nothing. Moreover, there is a high probability that the Ancient Night Clan will send more people to infiltrate and search for it!"

Cheng Fu then said something surprising.

"They'll send more people?" Lin Yang was genuinely surprised. "What kind of treasure could possibly drive them so crazy?"

Cheng Fu shook his head: "I don't know about that, but I can imagine that it must be something extraordinary. I really didn't expect that Baichi City, which looks ordinary, actually hides a treasure. Baichi City is going to be very lively in the future."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yang and said, "You used to live in Baichi City. Do you know any clues? If you do, handing them over to the higher-ups could make you rich."

Lin Yang was speechless: "If I had known, would I have been forced into this situation by the Tiankun Sect? Besides, even if I had known, why didn't I keep it for myself?"

"Ahem, you don't understand. The Ancient Night Clan is so willing to go to such lengths to search for something that it's alarmed. It must be something extraordinary. If something like that were in the hands of someone as insignificant as you or me, wouldn't that be suicide?"

Cheng Fu said dismissively:
"I might take it, but I might not live to use it!" (End of Chapter)
