Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

Ling Xiao looked down and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"This ending is too good for him... Oh, by the way, I discovered there's a place in the Hidden Immortal Sect that divine sense can't penetrate. Shall we go investigate together?"

"You may go."

Su Qingyan casually declined, "We won't participate."

She had already figured out the details from Yang Zhentian's memories; that forbidden area was nothing more than the Soul Hall and treasure vault of the Hidden Immortal Sect.

The Soul Hall only stores the soul tablets of sect disciples, which are of no value.

After hundreds of years of depletion, the treasure vault has long since exhausted its top-tier resources, leaving only mundane, insignificant items.

The Kunlun Sect is vast and its daily expenses are enormous. Ling Xiao never misses any resources, so it's a good opportunity for him to lead his men to plunder and make the most of everything.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyan, please wait a moment. I promise to clean up the battlefield within ten minutes, and then I will accompany you to the mortal world!"

"Alright!"

After saying that, Ling Xiao immediately led the elders and disciples into the forbidden treasure vault, packing up and storing everything that caught their eye without any mercy.

A moment later, Ling Xiao specially divided out six treasure bags, carefully selected the best resources from the treasure vault, and distributed them one by one to Qin Quan and his apprentice. Even Xia Ruoxi, who was not present, was given a bag in advance, which was thoughtful and appropriate.

"You do know how to get things done."

A faint smile flickered in Su Qingyan's eyes; she was quite satisfied with this arrangement.

"Of course, of course!"

Ling Xiao nodded modestly, his smile simple and honest.

Kunlun Immortal Sect and Yuquan Temple are already related by marriage. This time, they joined forces to fight the enemy, and the spoils of war should be distributed fairly.

After counting their spoils, the group quickly left Blackrock City.

They come quickly and leave quickly.

……

Half an hour later.

The desolate and barren Blackrock City has been completely transformed into a hellish inferno.

Corpses and blood were scattered everywhere, the night wind howled, and a bloodthirsty aura filled the sky.

This makes the isolated city seem even more eerie and sinister.

Suddenly, the earth trembled!

Countless crimson hands burst forth from the earth, densely packed and blotting out the sky, carrying a terrifying and eerie aura.

Bang bang bang!

The ground was littered with corpses, and the remaining bloodstains were all swallowed up by the giant crimson hand, instantly turning into fine dust that drifted away with the wind, leaving not a trace behind.

Even Yang Zhentian's physical body turned to dust and vanished into the world.

The concealment array that had been shattered by Su Qingyan's sword was now activated by an invisible force. The broken light screen slowly rose, layer by layer, and finally returned to its original state.

In the blink of an eye, Blackstone City, where the bloody battle had just ended, was once again shrouded in a great formation, returning to its desolate and lifeless state, as if the battle that had just wiped out the entire clan had never happened.

Thousands of meters underground, deep within the Soul Palace.

A figure slowly emerged from the shadows, its appearance and aura identical to Yang Zhentian's, who had just been subjected to soul-searching.

His eyes flashed with a sinister light as he murmured something.

"Fortunately, I had a backup plan and transferred all my disciples away in advance, leaving only an avatar here. Otherwise, the Hidden Immortal Sect would have faced annihilation today."

"That woman from Yuquan Temple is truly ruthless; she's even mastered the Soul Searching Technique, what a waste of my clone!"

Suppressing his anger, Yang Zhentian's true form didn't linger any longer. He flashed to the ground, took out his phone, and sent an emergency order to the sect's core group.

[Order: All disciples, elders, and deacons are to immediately evacuate the Dragon Kingdom and transfer all assets and funds under their control to Flowing Gold Valley. Immediately!]

After sending the message, he leaped into the air on his sword, the sword light slicing through the night as he flew towards the direction of Flowing Gold Valley.

……

the other side.

Based on the intelligence obtained from the soul search, Qin Quan quickly divided the war zones and allocated manpower.

Each of the Golden Core experts took charge of a province and rushed to their respective strongholds to launch a full-scale purge operation.

At the same time, he sent a message to Xia Ruoxi and Ling Yun, who were left in Kyoto, ordering the two women to immediately clear out all the hidden strongholds of the Hidden Immortal Sect within the territory of Kyoto.

The plan was meticulously planned and the division of labor was clear.

However, when Qin Quan and the others returned to Kyoto, they were met with two pieces of bad news.

"Junior brother, something's not right."

Xia Ruoxi quickly stepped forward, her expression solemn.

"We have searched all the hidden strongholds you marked, and they are all empty. We didn't even see a single disciple of the Hidden Immortal Sect."

Ling Yun followed closely behind, his tone helpless.

"We searched several key locations one after another, but all of them turned up nothing; we didn't find any useful clues."

"That's impossible!"

Qin Quan frowned, his heart filled with doubt and unease, and subconsciously turned to look at Su Qingyan beside him.

"Master, could the intelligence be wrong?"

Su Qingyan's face darkened, her gaze sharp as a knife.

From the moment she searched the soul to obtain intelligence to the moment the group split up to surround and kill her, it took only two hours.

The time was extremely short, and there was absolutely no possibility of a complete evacuation.

"The intelligence wasn't wrong."

Su Qingyan said in a deep voice, "Someone tipped us off in advance, and everyone was evacuated."

Before she could finish speaking, several urgent messages flooded in.

"Breaking news! Massive amounts of unusual funds have been detected, flowing rapidly overseas!"

"How much is it?"

Xia Ruoxi's heart tightened, and she pressed him for an answer in a stern voice.

"Over ten trillion!"

boom!

This number instantly shocked everyone present!

Ten trillion, accounting for two-thirds of the total circulating cash in the Dragon Kingdom!

This is not a simple transfer of assets; it is a blatant act of stealing from the country!

"Immediately order all major banks to freeze all cross-border transfer channels; not a single penny is allowed to flow out!"

Xia Ruoxi made a quick decision and issued an order.

"It's too late!"

The messenger sounded anxious, almost in tears.

"The bank's system has been attacked by a cluster of overseas hackers, and access has been completely lost. All of the top domestic hackers and cybersecurity engineers have been mobilized to fight back, but the pressure is enormous and the chances of success are slim."

Bad news followed one after another.

The Golden Core experts who had traveled to various provinces gradually sent back news.

The situation was exactly the same as in Kyoto; all the outposts were empty, and the disciples of the Hidden Immortal Sect seemed to have vanished without a trace.

"Something's not right, something's really not right!"

Qin Quan's face was grim, and he was puzzled.

Just as the situation was at a stalemate, a clear voice suddenly rang out.

"Brother, I can help!"

Qin Quan turned his head and saw Qin Ling stepping forward with a firm and confident look in her eyes.

"I am a top-notch hacker myself, proficient in cross-border attack and defense, and source tracing and countermeasures."

Ling Yuyan immediately chimed in, "And then there's our Fengyu Tower. We not only have professional assassins, but we've also trained a large number of top-notch cyber hackers, spread across all industries around the world. We can mobilize at any time to fight off foreign enemies."

The disciples of Fengyulou usually live in seclusion in the mortal world, indistinguishable from ordinary people, and no one knows their true identities.

Like Qin Ling, who appears to be an ordinary college student, but is actually a top-notch online expert hidden in the world, and also the top assassin of Fengyulou.

The situation is critical and there is no time to hesitate.

Qin Quan's eyes narrowed, and he decisively gave the order.

"The entire battle of network attack and defense will be entrusted to Second Senior Sister and Ling'er. Eldest Senior Sister, immediately grant them the highest-level dispatch privileges across the entire network!"

After saying that, he took the opportunity to ask for a way out for Fengyulou.

"Furthermore, Shen Shichang is dead, and the Martial Alliance's kill order against Fengyulou should be revoked."

"I will immediately contact my superiors to discuss this."

Xia Ruoxi solemnly agreed, "If Fengyulou can stabilize the overall situation in this competition and defend the Dragon Kingdom's funds, I dare to guarantee that the Dragon Kingdom and Fengyulou can cooperate deeply, and it is even possible to set up a secret base in Liujin Valley."
