Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"Greetings, Senior Jiang!!"

"Greetings to both of you!!"

Gao Lian took the initiative to greet him, bowing deeply. The incense and soul imprint left in his body made the immortals lurking in the shadows feel a chill in an instant, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

"It was him...."

"Unaffected by the erosion of time, his cultivation level is far more terrifying than it was seventy years ago."

A hoarse, bark-like voice echoed deep within Gao Lian's heart; it was clearly a divine being speaking to him.

"You...have you met this senior before?"

"I've heard of it. In the Year of the Horse, 1942... around this time, many old monsters in our area were killed by him, their tendons and skins were torn apart, and the lair of those from Suzhen Mansion was smashed to pieces."

Hu Tianbiao, who glimpsed Jiang Mo's true appearance through the body of a younger generation member, was horrified.

It is true that it has a very high seniority among the Majiaxian in Northeast China, and its strength ranks among the top of many mountain spirits, but it cannot be considered the only overlord.

Many years ago, a few old monsters who could rival it, or even overpower it, ruled over other mountains and forests. Most of the time they were in seclusion and slumbered, rarely venturing into the mortal world. However, they also had a considerable number of followers who worshipped them as gods, and myths intertwined with historical fragments were born from them.

They do not consume incense offerings, but instead absorb the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate themselves, becoming undeniably powerful.

It is said that it could not even withstand half a day before being suppressed and killed by the celestial light that descended from the sky. Its mournful cries echoed throughout the vast primeval forest, so much so that the spirits that ruled the territory dared not come to its aid.

Even now, Hu Tianbiao still can't see through Jiang Mo's cultivation level.

In its eyes, this was undoubtedly a monster in human skin, and in terms of sheer combat power, it was absolutely qualified to be ranked among the top tier of extraordinary individuals throughout history.

Jiang Mo sensed that something inside Gao Lian's body seemed to be looking at him. He returned the gaze and saw a talisman embedded between his bones and flesh, which should have been left by a spirit medium from the Northeast.

"......"

Hu Tianbiao didn't linger and temporarily disappeared. It understood that now was not the time to deal with him. Perhaps it was its innate keen intuition, coupled with its suspicious nature, that it even vaguely sensed a warning.

Whether this is actually the case remains unknown, and the incense offerings faded into silence in an instant.

"Senior, this way please."

Gao Lian led the way, passing through one metal gate after another, the iris recognition checkpoints, and the laser cutting rays along the way were all turned off.

A moment later, Jiang Mo and his group ventured deep into the company's most important area.

The life support device in front of me was a three-dimensional cylindrical container, like a sleep pod from a science fiction movie, with various tubes for detecting pulse and organ responses.

"Senior, do you think... this can be of any help?" Gao Lian asked nervously.

"nature."

Jiang Mo stepped forward. Gao Erzhuang had been lying in this narrow container for too long, and had used his abilities countless times. The residual Qi he left behind was particularly noticeable.

He lowered his right hand, activating the Second True Technique. The remaining Qi in the various gaps of the life device seeped out from within, and wisps of grayish-white Qi slowly gathered in Jiang Mo's palm, gradually forming a dancing white flame.

"..."

Gao Lian watched this scene nervously, while Lü Ci pondered for a moment, wondering how the active flame had managed to do that.

Jiang Mo closed his eyes and used the Qi in his palm to lock onto the target's location. His consciousness roamed between heaven and earth, covering tens of thousands of meters in an instant, ignoring the obstacles of distance.

The sound of the flowing seawater reached my ears, and a relatively clear image appeared in my mind.

In the dimly lit underground cave, the ninja group halted their advance, guarding the girl. Some ninja cultivators used secret techniques to try and break through an unknown barrier, heading towards the overseas territory.

"found it."

Jiang Mo opened his eyes and spoke calmly, which made Gao Lian feel a mix of joy and worry, as if he had been electrocuted.

"Senior, how is it? Is Erzhuang in danger?"

"You're alive and well."

Jiang Mo explained in detail: "She is currently unconscious and unable to move. She has been sealed by a talisman made using Japanese sorcery."

"Those thugs took her through the underground tunnel in Bincheng Bay and evacuated out of the country. Their current coordinates are outside the territorial waters."

"!!!"

"I'll arrange for people to set off right away."

Gao Lian was both shocked and frightened. He did not know that Bi He Ren had such a secret passage. No wonder he seemed to have vanished into thin air and bypassed the heavily guarded customs.

"Need not."

"I'll go. I'll bring the person back to you. As for Biheren's life or death, it's up to me to decide."

"This... alright! I guarantee you, you can handle Bi Heren however you want, except for one person, the traitor from within the company, whom we'd like to interrogate afterward, is that alright with you?"

"Okay," Jiang Mo agreed.

Immediately, Gao Lian took out his phone and showed him a photo of himself with Lao Zhang.

"Here, senior, that's him."

Jiang Mo glanced at the picture. The man in the picture was laughing heartily and had a dignified face. He was completely different from the cold-faced leader of the Bihe Ren gang he had just seen. He was very good at hiding his true abilities.

"..."

Gao Lian waited for Jiang Mo's instructions, and after a few breaths, he heard:

"You should first send people to that underground tunnel to investigate the environment inside. There may be traps or hidden weapons, so be careful and seal it off as soon as possible."

"Little girl, I'm watching over you, nothing will happen."

At this moment, Lü Ci spoke up:

"Master Jiang, if they want to return to the East, it won't be easy across thousands of miles of ocean. Given their cunning nature, they will most likely have helpers to meet them."

“I know, just wait there, they can’t leave.”

Jiang Mo was constantly monitoring the situation in that cave. The barrier seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, like melting ice and snow, and it was expected to collapse in about an hour.

"Bring me a map."

"Yes, please wait a moment." Gao Lian turned around and instructed his subordinate to do so.

A few minutes later, a laptop was brought to Jiang Mo, displaying a map of Bincheng city.

Jiang Mo placed his fingertip on the coastal area on the screen. Following his instructions, the company employees moved the mouse, zoomed in, and adjusted the position until they finally locked onto a fishing port.

"Go search, it's underwater."

Jiang Mo closed his five fingers, and the flame that marked Gao Erzhuang's life status was refined by him.

"Walk."

Gao Lian acted swiftly, immediately contacting the company's board of directors to report on the underground tunnel, and a large number of company employees began to gather in that area.

Jiang Mo left the company and set off towards the setting sun. He gazed into the void, admiring the magnificent sunset.

In the next instant, he rode the wind with his two young men, soaring straight into the sky, traversing 24 kilometers, and stationed himself near the exit of the underground cave, blending into the surrounding environment. Surrounded by clouds and mist, and with nightfall approaching, he was perfectly concealed.

Time passed second by second...

The dark ocean stretched out to the horizon at night. Suddenly, countless waves splashed up, and one after another, the heads of the 14 Bihe Ren floated to the surface, plus one unconscious hostage.

"Boss, it's done! We've left the mainland!!"

Some people were extremely excited, greedily inhaling the fresh air.

"Is the hostage alright? Don't let her drown, keep an eye on her."

Old Zhang coldly rebuked them, saying that now was not the time to celebrate. The vast, boundless sea was so dark that they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces, and the waves crashing in one after another were constantly draining their strength.

Looking around and finding no ships approaching, a bad feeling welled up in Old Zhang's heart. He took out the jade pendant from his chest, used a secret technique to establish a spiritual bridge of communication with the owner of the jade pendant from afar.

"Mr. Watanabe, we're out. How much longer until you arrive?"

"Half an hour. On the way here, we encountered unexpected wind and waves. We've already sped up. You did a great job, Jiuxiu."

"Hang in there a little longer. The dynamic map on my computer shows that you are near their territorial waters, which is still too dangerous. Continue heading southeast, and I will be there soon."

"Yes, Mr. Watanabe."

The jade pendant's light dimmed, and Old Zhang's face turned pale. He was panting heavily. He had helped undo the restrictions on the cave earlier, and now he was activating the jade pendant. His Qi was more than half depleted, and his physical strength was almost gone.

"Huff... huff huff..."

As the waves rolled in, he channeled his Qi beneath his feet, as if using something to step on, and slowly stood up. His weight seemed to return to zero at that moment, and he stood firmly on the sea surface, unaffected by gravity, without sinking.

The other Hiei ninjas stood up one after another. This was the Hiei school's basic ninjutsu—Swallow Step, which allowed them to walk on seawater and river surface as if on flat ground for a certain period of time.

"There's only one more stretch left. Mr. Watanabe is waiting for us ahead."

"Let's go! Let's go home, celebrating our great achievements."

Old Zhang raised his arms and shouted, doing all sorts of insincere things, contacting those foreigners he instinctively resisted and loathed, enduring for decades, all for this moment.

"call out--!"

"Tap tap tap!!"

At his command, the ninjas, as if injected with adrenaline, sprinted wildly across the vast sea, creating ripples beneath their feet. Each leap covered six or seven meters, and they did so frequently.

In the vast darkness, they traveled freely, unaware that from the distant clouds, countless eyes were watching them.

“Buzz, boom, boom!!!”

"Da da da!!!"

The sound of speedboats cutting through the waves echoed in the distance, their engines roaring loudly. Unlike ordinary speedboats, they moved at an extremely high speed, suggesting they had been modified.

A dazzling white light shone from afar, and there were nearly twenty speedboats. Old Zhang's sickly face showed an expression of ecstatic joy.

Two words filled his mind: It's a sure thing!

Chapter 315 Unstoppable Force, Suppressed in a Single Thought

With the waves crashing, more than twenty speedboats quickly came to the rescue, dimming their lights, and the group of men, led by Lao Zhang, rushed to board the boats.

The entire handover process was very brief, lasting less than two minutes, before the speedboat turned around and headed back.

After the sorcerer checked Gao Erzhuang's pulse, he was found to still have signs of life, and all the Japanese supernatural beings present were overjoyed.

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, a refined-looking middle-aged man in a white suit patted Old Zhang's wet shoulder, offering his approval:

"Kyu-soo, thank you for your hard work."

"The success of this cooperation will surely bring even greater achievements to both of our companies."

"Mr. Watanabe, thank you for your care."

A relaxed smile appeared on Old Zhang's lips. For a full two weeks since the plan was finalized, he had been walking on thin ice. Now that he had finally succeeded, his vigilance receded like the tide.

The man standing before him was Watanabe Mano, the current head of one of Tokyo's three great secret cultivation families.

His family was incredibly powerful, but what impressed Lao Zhang even more was that this man's personal strength was among the best in the country. In fact, during his prime a few years ago, he defeated two elderly sword saints.

"You're welcome. Your Biheren clan has some connection with our family."

Watanabe Mano stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky and earth, and murmured softly:

"When my grandfather was young, he also went to your school and followed a senior ninja to learn assassination techniques. It is only right that we help each other."

"So what do you plan to do with this prey? Will you hand it over, or find an excuse to get rid of it? After all, such a talent is very likely to be one in a hundred years."

Old Zhang's words were loaded with meaning. From the perspective of maximizing interests, he would prefer that the Watanabe family secretly detain Gao Erzhuang. In this way, in today's era where the internet and science and technology dominate everything, their future operations and development would be invincible.

"Kyu-soo, your question is really too sharp."

Watanabe Mano chuckled, a playful look on her face, and didn't mind revealing the truth to him:

“Those incompetent, vulgar carnivores still don’t understand the target’s capabilities. They’re exhausted from dealing with all sorts of meetings and are currently having a headache over Behemoth’s plan to sell G1 reagents. I think it would be a complete waste to hand over the prey to them.”

Even though Lao Zhang was somewhat prepared, he was still surprised when he heard Watanabe Mano's words. The other party's ambition might be far beyond his imagination.

"Your family's Soul Control Technique, in theory, should be able to control the mind of a target, right? If so, under your leadership, it's only a matter of time before the Watanabe family surpasses the other two!"

"Congratulations in advance, Mr. Watanabe!"

Old Zhang was very flattering, something he had never done before when he was in mainland China.

In the past, when he worked at the company, he was impartial, upright, and his actions were always faster and more reliable than those of other senior executives, earning him the trust and admiration of his subordinates.

Unfortunately, that was just outsiders' imagination. In reality, he considered himself noble and couldn't lower himself to deal with those mediocre and ordinary people.

In his view, this was a complete waste of life.
