From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

And the rest of the ordinary people—

Jiang Liu learned about them one by one. Most of them were mercenaries, a few were explorers, and the fewest were retired soldiers. Each of them had mastered skilled wilderness survival techniques.

As the third day arrived, the rest of the G-Society's expedition team also arrived at the underground secret base in Mauritania.

They came from England, the United States, Germany, and Russia, respectively, while the team that Jiang Liu and others belonged to was affiliated with France—Mauritania is now a French colony.

England team: 15 men

Captain America: 20 people

Germany: 10 men

Russian team: 12 players

Among them, the German team seems to have a strained relationship with the British, Russian, and American teams, creating a tense atmosphere that seems to be filled with tension.

Although they are all members of the G-Society, they are not entirely united.

Considering the impending Second World War, which would soon engulf the entire world, Jiang Liu could understand why the German team was being subtly isolated by the other three teams.

"Why does your French team have so many people?"

The head of the British branch of the G Society mocked the robin, saying, "It seems there are major loopholes in your rules of the game."

“The ruins of Atlantis are located in the Sahara Desert, and this is French territory, so naturally we need to prepare more people.” The robin wasn’t angry, though. “Besides, I’m going to explore Atlantis myself!”

"Robins are really adventurous."

The head of the Russian G-Economic Association's branch mocked, "Could it be that you plan to find the Trident and keep it for yourself?"

"Instead of worrying about me, you should worry more about Germany." The robin neither admitted nor denied it, but instead directed the conversation at the German team.

"What do you mean?"

The head of the German-Government Association's branch narrowed his eyes and questioned, "The law of the jungle is the rule of the world! We really need to undergo a reshuffle!"

Upon hearing this, the other branch leaders all turned pale. They hadn't expected the German G branch leader to be so arrogant, and some even considered instructing their expedition teams to secretly target the German team members and eliminate them from the competition.

Although they all belong to the G-economy, they still compete with each other, and there have been quite a few times when they have attacked and harassed each other because of it.

The G-Society's ideology is to unify the world's economy and politics.

But that doesn’t stop the branches from fighting tooth and nail for more benefits!

# Chapter 723 Subduing the Cheshire Cat

Jiang Liu witnessed the power struggles and infighting among the five branch presidents of the G-Society, smiled to himself, and then sought out Cheshire Cat to discuss a deal and cooperation.

"You are indeed very capable, with strength, strategy, and wisdom, but I don't believe you can overthrow the G-economy."

That being said, Cheshire Cat did indeed have the intention of leaving the G-Society, so he changed his tune and said, "However, I can indeed follow your orders once in the future and look forward to the 'security' you mentioned."

"No problem, no problem."

Jiang Liu agreed with a smile.

"However, I still need to confirm your true strength."

Cheshire Cat drew a long sword from his back, crossed it, and aimed it at Jiang Liu. His eyes were sharp, like a tigress ready to pounce. His whole body was filled with a blood-red aura and emitted a faint fragrance. The surrounding air even made a sizzling sound.

In a flash, the longsword flashed, and the crimson blade light advanced to Jiang Liu's neck with lightning speed!

The last time he faced her blade, Jiang Liu used the rules as an excuse not to dodge or avoid it, knowing that she would never actually kill him.

But this time is different.

The test is over!

As one of the five captains of the magic team, it is entirely reasonable that she accidentally killed a team member during the process of training them.

Therefore.

This strike was a full-force burst, first strengthening the entire body with crimson flames, then concentrating the power into the blade; it could easily cleave a building in two.

But Jiang Liu neither dodged nor avoided the blow, letting it strike his neck.

Ding!

The crisp sound echoed in the training room.

Then a "click" sound was heard.

The indestructible force of the counterattack caused a crack to appear in the longsword, which Cheshire Cat had nurtured with his Qi for many years, and the crack then continued to widen—

The knife broke!

Cheshire Cat's pupils contracted sharply. Just as he was about to use the recoil from the shattering of the knife in her hand to his back, he saw a hand press down on her face.

The hand wasn't large, but it made Cheshire Cat's vision blur, as if she were falling from a great height while a mountain-like hand pressed down on her from above.

Vast as the ocean!

Heavy and imposing, like a mountain!

Snapped!

Just once.

The Cheshire Cat made intimate contact with Jiang Liu's right hand, and its body spun around like a windmill before crashing heavily to the ground. Lying on its back, its flesh and bones trembled slightly, its internal organs swayed gently, and its spirit was in a daze.

For a long time.

She shook her head, straightened up by supporting her waist with one arm, and scolded, "You little rascal! Can't you give way to me for once?"

"I've already conceded."

If Jiang Liu were serious, even with just this casual movement, the Cheshire Cat would be torn apart, its internal organs scattered, its muscles and tendons broken, and its six viscera destroyed.

"You're kidding me!"

The Cheshire Cat grumbled and cursed, but he also genuinely felt the power contained in Jiang Liu's palm strike, which far exceeded that of ordinary alchemists.

Although the systems of Eastern Qi cultivation and Western alchemy are different, they are both means of gaining power through self-cultivation, and are essentially no different.

Jiang Liu's power gave her a sense of déjà vu that it exceeded the limits of ordinary people, as if it had reached another realm, like the distinction between humans and apes.

It's not just a difference in strength, but a transcendence in will and spirit!

As cultivators, even if one cultivates Qi and the other alchemy, and their systems are different, their pursuit of higher realms is the same.

Compared to robins, those who have mastered superpowers are naturally more willing to trust other members of their kind, especially those at a higher level.

therefore.

When communicating and cooperating with extraordinary individuals, the best trump card and bargaining chip is combat. Winning naturally earns respect; losing means everything is off the table.

nowadays.

Jiang Liu has already gained the Cheshire Cat's initial trust and respect.

Getting up from the ground, the Cheshire Cat stared at Jiang Liu for a while before asking, "Don't you feel anything wrong with your body?"

"poison?"

Jiang Liu noticed that when Cheshire Cat unleashed his crimson Qi Flame, the poisonous perfume on his body also permeated the air along with the flow of Qi. Anyone who smelled that strange fragrance would be poisoned.

Even if you don't smell it, you can still get infected!

The essence of fragrance is volatile substances. It is only when these substances enter the nostrils and are transmitted to the brain that we experience sensations such as "fragrant" or "stinky".

Essentially, it is abstract information formed by the brain after analyzing this type of substance.

and so.

Before you even smell the fragrance, the toxins released into the air have already contaminated your body.

The poison concocted by the Cheshire Cat, under the influence of Qi, can penetrate the skin even if it only adheres to the surface of the body, thereby damaging the internal organs.

But a pity.

Even without mentioning the relic and the exquisite inner elixir, Jiang Liu's current level of gene lock four and awakening of the spiritual light - Huiyuan's body's instinctive metabolism is enough to make him immune to more than 90% of the toxins in the world.

The Cheshire Cat Poison?

He can drink it like a beverage and he's fine!

"Alright, it seems you're a pharmacist too, skilled in detoxification."

The Cheshire Cat didn't ask any further questions, but picked up the longsword, which had been broken in half and transformed from a blade into a "dagger," and muttered, "It's really hard! I wonder if it's the same all over!"

"..."

As Jiang Liu walked out of the training room, he saw Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying eavesdropping outside the door. The latter was startled by the sudden opening of the door, lost her balance, and stumbled into Jiang Liu's arms.

Boom!

Just as Duanmu Ying was about to fall into Jiang Liu's chest, the latter twisted his heel and shifted his waist, causing Duanmu Ying to miss her target.

"what!"

Duanmu Ying flailed her arms wildly, about to fall face-first to the ground, when a hand grabbed her collar from behind.

It is the river!

With a quick lift and a drop, Duanmu Ying straightened up, patted her chest, and said with a lingering fear, "I almost fell flat on my face."

"You're so careless."

Jiang Liu remained silent, then glanced at Lu Jin, "And you, what were you eavesdropping on outside the door? I really miss that innocent little boy from back then. Now, tsk tsk~ there's nothing so dirty going on in the training room that you imagine."

Immediately, Lu Jin blushed and hurriedly coughed, "Brother Jiang, please don't imagine me to be so filthy, okay? This is just teenage curiosity at most."

"Curious? I think your true nature, which you've suppressed for too long, has finally surfaced... Why don't we go back later and I'll try to persuade Wang Baoling to allow you to take several concubines in the future?"

At this point, Jiang Liu's tone was slightly teasing, "Many children, many blessings, right?"

“Brother Jiang, don’t try to matchmake me with someone else. Wang Baoling and I are just acquaintances…” Lu Jin said anxiously when Wang Baoling was mentioned.

This piqued Duanmu Ying's curiosity.

Who is Wang Baoling?

"Lu Jin's girlfriend. She knows Tai Chi and can knead dough beautifully!"
