The Long Journey to Immortality

Upon hearing this, Wen Erya quickly took out her phone and used the internet to communicate briefly with her contact.

After Han Lu's identity was revealed, Wen Erya's partner readily agreed to Wen Erya's small request.

Right there in the tea bar, Wen Erya took a picture for Han Lu, and a moment later, Wen Erya showed Han Lu the picture.

"Look, this is your electronic ID card."

The picture in Wen Erya's hand was exactly the same as the genuine product that Han Lu saw in Qiu Bin.

"Next, all you need to do is import your profile information into the phone when you buy it, and you can become a completely modern person."

Upon hearing this, Han Lu lost her desire to enjoy the juice in the tea bar. She finished most of the juice in one gulp and then dragged Wen Erya to Hans City to look for a store that sold mobile phones.

A short while later, after paying a full 5,000 yuan in cash, a mid-to-high-end mobile phone was placed in Han Lu's storage bag.

Next time, if Han Lu wants to take the high-speed rail to other cities, she won't have to hide anymore and use the "illusion talisman" to evade fares.

The zoo, the amusement park—anywhere worth visiting in Hans City, Han Lu and Wen Er Ya's voices echoed throughout the day.

It wasn't until midnight that Han Lu and Wen Erya returned to the hotel, looking slightly exhausted, to rest and prepare for the inevitable battle the next day.

Chapter 207 Robbery? Please call your boss out!

Lying on a large bed three and a half meters wide with Wen Erya, Han Lu slept very soundly and comfortably that night.

On the contrary, Wen Erya was somewhat restless, perhaps because she hadn't seen Han Lu for many days or for some other reason. She woke up many times during the night and fell asleep again after looking at Han Lu's sleeping face.

Fortunately, Wen Erya was a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining; otherwise, she would have needed to catch up on several hours of sleep the next day to be energetic enough to work with Han Lu on important matters.

The next morning, Wen Erya skillfully used the room assistant to order breakfast for Han Lu, who was still comfortably twisting her body in bed. Only then did the two officially leave that vacation-like leisure state and seriously use the meal time to discuss the plan for the day's "surprise attack on Hans Company".

Previously, Han Lu would always act as the strategist in such situations, but now, relying on the intelligence network of the "resistance forces," Wen Erya's understanding of the situation at Hans' headquarters far surpasses that of Han Lu. Therefore, this time, Wen Erya has become the one in charge of the plan.

The two were quite in sync about this matter. Han Lu took the initiative to ask, and Wen Er Ya did not hide anything. She told Han Lu everything she knew and thought.

The Hans Company possesses ancient cultivation treasures, a deduction made by Wen Erya based on intelligence provided by the resistance forces.

While Wen Erya didn't know the exact number of treasures hidden within Hans's headquarters, she could still arrive at a rather astonishing figure based on intelligence analysis.

Therefore, immediately after cooperating with the resistance forces, a visit to Hans's headquarters became part of Wenerya's plan.

However, this plan gradually changed over time.

She looked like this before she learned that the Three Heroes of the Western Regions had reached a cooperation agreement with Hans Company.

She was a completely different person before she met Han Lu.

When she woke up that morning and explained the plan to Han Lu, the matter was finally settled and would not be changed again.

Wen Erya was very clear about her own strength and did not think she was invincible in the ancient cultivation secret realm like Han Lu did.

"Originally, after learning that the Three Heroes of the Western Regions had joined the Hans Company, I planned to look for the perfect opportunity in Hans City, wait for other treasure hunters to make their moves, help me divert the attention of the Three Heroes of the Western Regions, and even lure them out of Hans City before making my move, picking them off one by one."

"But after seeing my junior sister, I felt that this matter didn't need to be made so complicated."

"If the two of us join forces, we don't need to play any tricks. We'll challenge each other head-on, exchange a few words, draw up a gentleman's agreement, and finally let our spiritual power speak for itself."

As Wen Erya spoke, she gestured as if she already had a picture of what was to come in her mind.

"What gentleman's contract?" Han Lu asked the only question she didn't understand about the plan.

On this point, Wen Erya deliberately kept it a secret, asking, "Does Junior Sister believe me?"

"Of course I believe you." Han Lu said this without the slightest hesitation.

"Then don't ask any more questions, you'll find out in time."

Han Lu nodded and silently lowered her head to eat the food in front of her, no longer worrying about the plan.

After breakfast, the two strolled around the hotel before taking the subway to Hans Company.

Since the intention is to openly challenge and resolve the issue by force, there's no need to worry about whether it's morning or night.

In fact, Wen Erya deliberately chose to carry out the plan in the morning, just so that when the two fought against the Three Heroes of the Western Regions, there would be high-ranking officials from Hans Company watching. She hoped that they would be wary of the two's strength and would not have any thoughts of revenge after the two won, so that Han Lu and Wen Erya could live more peacefully in the remaining days.

Wen Erya didn't want to spend the remaining twenty-odd days constantly on guard against sniping from enemies lurking in the shadows.

Even if it's not life-threatening, disturbing her sleep is not a pleasant thing.

The subway ride took thirty minutes, traversing almost half of Hans City, before leading Han Lu and Wen Erya to the Hans Building in the heart of Hans City.

There are two buildings in Hans City, one tall and one short.

Back when Roman Corporation controlled the world, Hans Corporation was just one of the larger companies out of many, and that relatively low building was its headquarters at that time.

After Hans City became the ruler of this world, the even more magnificent headquarters building was built. At the same time, the city was renamed Hans City and became the nominal "capital" of the ancient cultivation world.

Standing in front of the two buildings, Han Lu felt slightly lost.

If Wen Erya hadn't told her about the two Hans buildings, she certainly wouldn't have considered the simple, six-story office building next door as part of the Hans company.

The Hans company's official website and other materials contain very little description of the company's experiences before it gained global dominance, so naturally they wouldn't mention such "minor matters."

"Senior sister, which building are we going to?" Han Lu asked.

Wen Erya pointed to the high-rise building where she met Han Lu yesterday and said, "Of course it's there. That small building only has two underground parking garages, so there's no place to store ancient cultivation treasures."

After saying that, Wen Erya led Han Lu to the Hans building to visit the Hans company headquarters.

The fabricated identity information used by the resistance forces successfully passed the checkpoint at the entrance of Hans headquarters. Wen Erya approached the front desk, and before she could speak, the receptionist, dressed in a Hans company uniform, greeted her, "Good morning, how can I help you?"

Wen Erya put her rare artistic talent to use, took out a handgun from her storage bag, and said with a smile, "Hello, we're here to rob you. Could you please call the security supervisor?"

Wen Erya didn't think the receptionist would know too many secret stories or the existence of the Three Heroes of the Western Regions. Her plan was to call out the security chief of Hans' headquarters and talk to him.

This receptionist had never seen anything like it before.

However, she didn't panic too much. As if she hadn't seen the deadly weapon, she followed the visitor appointment procedure, opened a back door for her, picked up the internal phone, and contacted the third-in-command of the security department, who had only been on the job for a short time.

Hearing that two beautiful but clumsy thieves had come to rob Hans Company with handguns, the third-in-command of the security department almost burst out laughing.

However, considering the various supernatural events that have recently occurred in this world, he dared not be negligent in the slightest. Under the protection of four heavily armed bodyguards, he hurriedly arrived at the first floor.

Standing behind the wall of bodyguards, the third-in-command asked, "Ladies, what brings you to Hans Company?"

Chapter 208 The Bet

“We’re looking for people,” Wen Erya said, putting away her pistol. “Could you do me a small favor and call out Ke Jitong, Shi Gong, and Yu Wenzhang?”

"This..." Upon hearing these three names, the security supervisor's expression changed, and he whispered, "Are these two beauties also cultivators?"

With their fashionable attire, it was hard for the security supervisor to associate Han Lu and Wen Erya with the three Western Region monks who had arrived at Hans's headquarters two days ago.

Wen Erya replied, "Of course."

"Are those two visiting friends, or..." The security supervisor realized how foolish he had been as soon as he said it.

Han Lu and Wen Erya, who had just been holding a pistol, were clearly not here to catch up with friends.

Wen Erya wanted to take out her pistol again and put on a tough act, but she realized that she had just revealed her identity as a cultivator, and it would be inappropriate to take out this modern weapon again. So she pretended to be impatient and said, "We're here to fight. Don't ask us any questions like you're interrogating us. Hurry up and call your men, or we'll beat you up first."

This was the first time Han Lu had heard Wen Erya speak in such a tone. She suppressed a laugh and, in response, casually released two streams of spiritual energy.

Struck by the spiritual energy, the four bodyguards standing in front of the security chief were sent flying through the air for five meters before landing.

Seeing this scene, the security supervisor finally realized that the two young and beautiful girls in front of him were actually two fierce demons, and he could not afford to be careless.

The cultivators should handle their own affairs; he didn't want to become an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

The security supervisor quickly apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, ladies, please don't hit me. I'll call for help right away."

"How may I ask how to address you two seniors?"

Wen Erya was also worried that the three heroes of the Western Regions refusing to see her would cause them some trouble this time, so she didn't mind at all and introduced herself, "Wen Erya of the Zhengyi Sect, this is my junior sister, Han Lu."

After noting down the two men's names, the security supervisor took out his walkie-talkie, contacted his superior, reported the situation, explained the two men's needs, and sent out a distress signal.

Wen Erya and Han Lu, who were standing to the side, heard these words clearly.

The two, who were looking to get straight to the point and settle the matter quickly, knew that the Three Heroes of the Western Regions would probably appear before them in less than a quarter of an hour.

After completing all this, the security supervisor, who had worked his way up from the bottom to his current position, smiled and said, "In about twenty minutes, the three cultivators that the two seniors sought will arrive here to meet you."

"In the meantime, if you two seniors don't mind, you might as well come with me to the reception room, have some good tea, and wait patiently."

Wen Erya had no intention of making things difficult for ordinary people. The security supervisor was quite nice, and she didn't want to stand there awkwardly in the lobby for twenty minutes, so she went along with it and accepted the invitation.

The two followed the security chief to a corner reception room on the first floor of the Hans headquarters and sat down.

However, for safety reasons, Han Lu and Wen Erya did not even touch the tea that the safety supervisor personally served them, for fear that Hans Company had used some highly technological tricks in this regard.

The reception room had an excellent environment, and with a Hans company executive who was good at talking accompanying them, the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Han Lu and Wen Erya didn't seem like they were about to have a big fight. In fact, Wen Erya even hummed a few lines along with the music playing in the living room during their conversation, looking quite content.

The two men's behavior left the security supervisor, who was accompanying them, somewhat puzzled.

As the third-in-command of the security department at Hans Corporation headquarters, he knew all too well how formidable those three monks who had only been with Hans Corporation for three and a half days.

He replayed the miraculous scene he had witnessed in his mind, and he didn't think the two beautiful female cultivators in front of him could be a match for those three.

"Wanting to die? Probably not, they're probably just flirting..."

Lost in thought, the security supervisor, who often slacked off at work reading novels, conjured up a love story in his mind, randomly pairing Han Lu and Wen Erya with the Three Heroes of the Western Regions.

After waiting in the reception room for about half an hour, three young men who bore a striking resemblance to the Three Heroes of the Western Regions in Han Lu's profile walked in and sat down opposite the two of them.

They changed into modern clothes, but still wore accessories with strong Western Region clan and religious connotations, making their outfits rather jarring.

With the five powerful figures gathered together, the security supervisor dared not linger any longer. He merely pleaded, "I hope you seniors will not take action within Hans Company's premises," and without waiting for their reply, he jogged away from the meeting room.

In an instant, thanks to the arrangements made by the senior management of Hans Company, only Han Lu and four others remained in the reception room, which could accommodate more than fifty people.

Before Wen Erya could speak, Ke Jitong took the initiative to greet him, "Fellow Daoist Wen, Fellow Daoist Han, it's been six days since we parted ways in the deep valley. What brings you two here today to cause trouble for us three brothers?"

Although Han Lu and Wen Erya hadn't spoken a single word to the three heroes of the Western Regions while they were deep in the valley, there wasn't anything particularly wrong with Ke Ji's words.

Wen Erya spoke very directly, "We just wanted the treasure in Hans Company's warehouse, but unfortunately, the three of you have become Hans Company's lackeys. Considering that you are all cultivators, I specifically told you this so that if the treasure is lost, you won't not know who took it and be scolded by mortals for no reason."

Wen Erya knew that cultivators in the Western Regions valued the boundary between mortals and cultivators far more than cultivators in the Central Plains. That's why she deliberately used a few unpleasant words to provoke Ke Jitong and make her next plan easier to execute.

Ke Jitong smiled and didn't buy it, but Shi Gong and Yu Wenzhang, who were sitting next to him, were angered by Wen Erya's words.

"Wen Erya, you're getting all smug just because I called you Fellow Daoist Wen? Don't push your luck. You just want a fight, don't you? I, Shi Gong, am happy to oblige."
