The Great Body of Hegemony, a professional instigator of dark turmoil.

The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls flashed.

The Grandmaster of the Innate Realm had no time to react at all.

Lei Gang then collected it into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Then the Ten Thousand Souls Banner quietly returned to Ward 9.

Then comes the familiar old routine: destroy the body and forcibly read the enemy's memories.

Finally, the old man's soul was crushed into pure soul energy, which became nourishment for the Myriad Soul Banner.

As expected of a Grandmaster of Martial Arts, the energy contained within his body and the strength of his soul are remarkable.

They were all several levels higher than other martial artists.

After being converted into pure energy, the power of the Myriad Souls Banner increases significantly.

A portion of the energy is fed back to Lei Gang through the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

This further enhanced his strength...

Only then did he begin to carefully sort through the old man's memories.

Lei Gang discovered that this old guy was no ordinary person; he was actually the cousin of the Wang family patriarch.

He was more than ten years older than the head of the Wang family.

He was originally just a member of a collateral branch of the Wang family, but because of his good talent in martial arts, he made great progress all the way.

Later, he gradually received special training from the Wang family and grew into the second-best martial artist in the Wang family.

The number one expert is undoubtedly the family head, Wang Haotian.

Unfortunately, this so-called second-best expert knew very little about the Wang family's cultivators.

Despite being the Wang family's top henchman, he rarely had access to the players' core secrets.

Lei Gang gained a better understanding of the Wang family's power from the old man's memories.

Indeed, its influence extends across all five administrative regions.

In terms of wealth, he is truly richer than a country, and the number of industries he is involved in is countless.

However, they rarely participate directly; they usually act under the names of various investment companies and investment banks.

Then, they add layer upon layer of shells and make investments or acquisitions.

They can compete with the Wang family.

Those are all forces of equal standing, such as the Zhao family behind Prison Warden Zhao Xin.

Any other unqualified forces that dare to compete with them will face unimaginable consequences.

At best, various economic and financial means will be used to suppress them; at worst, they will be physically destroyed.

For example, using various driverless taxis, freight vehicles, etc., to create an "accident" for key targets.

This caused the competitors to lose their backbone.

Then the competitors will naturally fail...

Lei Gang thought these mortals were truly ruthless and cruel.

They have mastered all sorts of shady tactics to a high degree.

On the contrary, the cultivation world he was familiar with seemed simpler.

That's a blatant rule of the strong, and if you're not convinced, you'll fight.

People are used to letting their abilities speak for themselves, and there are relatively few people who resort to conspiracies and tricks.

Lei Gang was unaware that while he was inwardly marveling at how cunning these guys were,

Images related to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

It has already been relayed back to the Wang family...

……

It turns out that it happened just now.

When Lei Gang activated the Myriad Soul Banner.

He believed his methods were extremely discreet and would leave no trace for the enemy.

Little did they know that high in the sky, several high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance aircraft were watching that old man.

Even the bigwigs of the Wang family were unaware of this matter.

Therefore, the scene of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner taking the old guy inside was clearly captured by a high-altitude drone.

The high-altitude drone was too far from the ground, and besides, it was just Lei Gang's Ten Thousand Souls Banner, not Lei Gang himself.

So he didn't realize that he was being photographed by a drone.

The photos were quickly sent back...

The scene shifts to a small island at the mouth of the Yangtze River in Mingzhu City.

In addition to various buildings, there is a special fortress-like structure in the middle.

The building's walls are several meters thick and are not made of ordinary materials.

It was built entirely to missile defense standards.

And it's in the lobby on the first floor of this special building.

Wang Yuhao's face turned ashen as he watched the footage transmitted from the drone, his fingers trembling slightly.

He came to Mingzhu City specifically because of Wang Yanran's disappearance.

The purpose is to investigate and find out the truth of the matter.

Judging from the screen displayed on the computer, the one who made the move was clearly a cultivator.

That was something they simply couldn't handle.

In addition, the old man before he died.

A message sent back via mobile phone: "Target's breathing rhythm confirmed to be abnormal."

Wang Yuhao was now certain that the person who made the move was Lei Gang.

All previous investigation reports have stated that Lei Gang was just an ordinary person.

It turned out he was a hidden cultivator.

Wang Yuhao quickly picked up the encrypted satellite phone.

He immediately called his elderly father, Wang Haotian.

The moment the call connected, Wang Haotian's voice came through: "I've received the photos. Come back! This isn't something you can handle. I'll report it tomorrow, and the subsequent decisions will be made by the Ancestor..."

Wang Yuhao said helplessly, "I understand. I'll have the crew prepare for takeoff right away, and we'll fly back in our own plane tonight."

Although he was still unwilling to accept it.

However, Wang Yuhao was very clear that once it came to matters involving cultivators, it was not their place to make decisions.

Furthermore, since the other party dared to target the Wang family, they might actually be after the Wang family.

He was powerless to resolve such a huge issue.

So he deleted the pictures on his computer, tidied up briefly, and took the elevator to the rooftop.

An armed helicopter was already waiting for him on the rooftop.

Once Wang Yuhao boarded the plane, it immediately took off, with several armed helicopters following closely behind.

A flight formation consisting of six helicopters.

It quickly flew into the distance under the cover of night...

……

Lei Gang was unaware of all this.

After dealing with the Wang family's experts...

Thinking that since he had already taken action, he might as well make a big fuss about it.

So he spread his divine sense to check the situation.

Inside the prison's office building, they discovered that there were still quite a few martial artists stationed.

Those guys were discussing the serial disappearances with the new warden and a few criminal investigation experts.

There were more than 30 people sitting in the large office of the office building.

Moreover, everyone is a martial artist, with the strongest being those who have just entered the Innate Realm and the weakest being third-rate martial artists.

Compared to that old guy, these guys are too weak.

If the quality is insufficient, make up for it with quantity.

However, this time we can't just take action directly; we have to break the surveillance cameras first.

After the warden and Wang Yanran went missing.

In order to find out the truth behind the series of disappearances, cameras were installed in all offices.

There are even more cameras in the large conference room.

Furthermore, the doors and windows of the meeting room were always open during their meetings.

Fully armed special forces soldiers were guarding both the door and the windows.

The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls quietly appeared on the floor where the conference room was located.

It flew directly to the side of the empty box, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner shook.

Two black beams of light shot out; one beam severed the monitoring line, and the other beam struck the circuit breaker box.

A crackling sound rang out.

A blinding flash of light erupted from the unpacked box, and the internal wiring short-circuited.

The entire floor was plunged into darkness in an instant.

The special forces members were on high alert and immediately used night vision goggles, infrared imagers, and thermal imaging equipment to vigilantly observe any unusual situations.

At the same time, many people rushed into the conference room.

It must be said that these special forces soldiers reacted very quickly, but they were no match for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

A dozen people rushed into the conference room and shone their flashlights on it.

But the conference room was empty except for them.

Instantly, the special forces soldiers felt their scalps tingle and everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

More than thirty people just vanished into thin air?

The team leader immediately issued the order: "Seal off the entire office building; the outer guards will seal off the entire prison. Until further orders are received, no one is allowed to enter, not leave..."

Only after the captain gave the orders did he begin to report the situation to his superiors.

The entire Tilanqiao Prison erupted into chaos in an instant.

The atmosphere became tense and oppressive.

There's a clear feeling that a storm is brewing...

Inside ward number 9 of the medical clinic.

Lying on his hospital bed, Lei Gang was happily feeling the surge of divine power within his body.

It feels so good to see my strength increase so quickly!

However, he could not stay in this place any longer, fearing that the enemy would use missiles against him.

Lei Gang simply destroyed all the surveillance cameras.

He quickly left the prison and found a nearby place to hide.

In fact, his concerns were not unfounded.

Under the cover of night, multiple armed helicopters were approaching the prison from all directions.

And those helicopters were all carrying air-to-ground missiles.
