Water flows downhill, and people strive for higher positions. By cooperating with the Watanabe family, we have a real chance to leverage their strength to gradually help Hiroshi regain his former power.
Driven by this pursuit of self-interest, Lao Zhang followed Watanabe Mano's arrangements without question.
"You flatter me, you flatter me. Let's talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow."
The two were in high spirits and had a very pleasant conversation.
However, just a few breaths later, something unexpected happened!
More than twenty speedboats and nearly a hundred Japanese strangers witnessed the most unforgettable scene of their lives.
"Boom!!!"
A stream of blazing silver light descended from the dark clouds, like a waterfall of the Milky Way extending from the depths of the starry sky to the human world. It was vast and sacred, and the magnificent sight surpassed their long-established system of understanding.
What exactly is that?
An object from outer space?
A miracle?
Mirage?
A variety of unbelievable answers lingered in the minds of those foreigners from the East. The nearby sea breeze quieted down and stopped howling. Even the previously undulating sea became as calm as a mirror.
"That...that's a person?!"
"How can it be!"
Suddenly someone exclaimed, their pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.
From a distance of 100 meters away, three figures gradually emerged from the dazzling stream of light, standing in mid-air.
Especially the one in the very center, whose dark robes contrasted sharply with the bright white behind him.
His aura far surpassed that of his two attendants, suggesting that he was a deity who had been resurrected from the corners of history and the ruins of mythology over a long period of time and had come to the present world.
Instantly, Old Zhang, Watanabe Mano, and several other rare masters from the East turned deathly pale and trembled uncontrollably.
As frequent users of the dark web, the extraordinary battle against the supernatural beings that shocked the world six months ago, and the reclusive immortals from the East, left an indelible impression on them.
Based on the characteristics of the figure ahead—flying frost-covered hair, soaring through the air—they were absolutely certain that the person coming to intercept them was Jiang Mo of the Trinity Sect, currently the strongest biological individual in the world, bar none!
At that moment, Watanabe Mano felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, and a sense of powerlessness filled her entire body.
The current situation is completely beyond his control. If he had to use a fitting analogy, it would be like the other side dropping a high-yield nuclear bomb in order to wipe out these treasure-stealing rats.
How to play this? !
"It's over...it's all over..."
Old Zhang suffered a sharp pain in his heart and collapsed on the speedboat, his eyes filled with deep fear.
The roar of the speedboat's engine grew louder and louder, seemingly at full power, yet it remained eerily still in place.
The reason for this was the gaze fixed upon them from a hundred meters away; the power of the Tianheng Gu filled every inch of space.
Under the repulsive force, seawater and air are squeezed towards the central area where they are located, forming a transparent wall of copper and iron, like the most solid cage in the world, which cannot be destroyed.
"........"
Watanabe Mano remained silent, a daring thought surfacing deep within his mind: he harbored murderous intent towards the unconscious hostage.
The failure of this mission was inevitable, and he had to do everything he could to minimize the losses.
Can I kill my target instantly while he is watching?
Is it worth it if my family becomes the target of revenge for doing this?
In a mere half-second, complex and ever-changing thoughts flashed through Watanabe Mano's mind. The interests of the aristocratic family always outweighed everything else; he could not sacrifice his family for a reputation that held no value.
After weighing the pros and cons, he had already made his decision.
The other strange people from the East suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter;
Panic spread like wild grass; they dared not act, nor did they dare to evacuate, but anxiously watched Watanabe Mano, awaiting his orders.
“Patriarch!!”
"Homeowner?"
"Master..."
In response to the clamor, Watanabe Mano could only offer a bitter smile.
Whatever decision he makes, none of his followers here today will leave alive.
To appease them, Watanabe Mano solemnly promised: "Gentlemen, believe in my successor, your families and relatives, he will take good care of them."
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. His eyes, which had been sharp and piercing, were now concealed as he overcame his fear and prepared to face his death calmly.
"No....."
"No!! I can't accept this!!"
Old Zhang, who was mentally disturbed, seemed to have gone mad.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded a murderous aura. His body was covered with hideous, filthy things, which were clearly the power of the Japanese superhuman who died in a foreign land in the last century.
"die!!!"
Desperate, Lao Zhang decided to turn on Er Zhuang, intending to destroy everyone involved.
"Damn it! Are you insane?!"
Watanabe Mano was horrified and cursed loudly, realizing that this outrageous act could very well drag his entire family down with him.
"You can't stop me!"
Old Zhang laughed maniacally. In that distance of less than two meters, he struck with lightning speed. Even though Watanabe Mano was far stronger than him, he was caught off guard and it was too late to stop him.
The evil spirits within her body swarmed out, attacking Er Zhuang's brow, attempting to destroy her soul and seize her body.
"call out--!"
The figure in the void a hundred meters away vanished in an instant, and slight ripples spread across the space between the two places. When it reappeared, Jiang Mo was already beside the woman.
He descended like a god, the blazing silver true qi surrounding his body being an extremely yang substance. The scorching yang energy burned those ugly and twisted yin spirits, causing them to wail in agony, their souls turning to ashes inch by inch.
"..."
On the speedboat, Watanabe Mano felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
This was the first time he had seen Jiang Mo up close. His blood seemed to freeze, his heart tightened, and the fear from his bloodline instinct was something he couldn't suppress no matter how rational and calm he was.
"what!!!"
Old Zhang screamed in agony as the dozen or so Yin spirits that coexisted with him were burned to ashes. The pain returned to him, and he writhed and struggled, clutching his head.
Jiang Mo ignored them, examining Er Zhuang's physical condition. He then placed his hand down, and the golden flames burned all the talismans inscribed with secret incantations to ashes.
Lu Jin and Lü Ci arrived one after another, and the three of them surrounded nearly a hundred Japanese supernatural beings.
A chilling atmosphere spread silently. Watanabe Mano was under immense psychological pressure, on the verge of collapse. His hands were trembling slightly, and his evasive eyes betrayed his inner unease and fear.
"Well, you little bastards, you dare to steal things again?"
Lu Cihan sneered, wishing he could skin these beasts alive right now.
"Humph!"
Immediately, he recognized the listless old Zhang, flicked his finger, and several streams of Qi energy bound the other man's limbs and throat like shackles. To prevent him from biting his tongue or severing his heart meridian and committing suicide, Lü Ci also pressed the old Zhang's acupoints and knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.
Faced with the old man's reprimand, Watanabe Mano's face turned ashen. He understood Chinese, and his fists clenched tightly.
"Since you're here, leave your life behind."
Jiang Mo spoke softly, the crimson-gold pattern between his brows flowing with brilliance.
In an instant, all 96 nearby Japanese supernatural beings were locked onto. Without damaging their minds, the Soul-Breaking Curse was poured into them in a flash, and the pain poured out like a dam bursting.
"Uh...ah!!!"
Watanabe Mano's face was contorted with rage. Suddenly, he was overcome with pain, his legs trembled, and he collapsed to his knees. He endured the excruciating pain of his brain being torn apart, his eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and he began to wail in a state of utter despair.
"Wow!"
At the same time, a viscous, pitch-black substance appeared in Jiang Mo's palm. It was none other than the Nine Fiends Yin Qi, which had both corrosive and binding effects. Ninety-six thin chains surged out and bound all the Japanese superhumans.
"Lü Ci?"
"Yes, please give your orders."
As soon as Jiang Mo made his thought, the Heavenly Kingdom unfolded, and an invisible vortex swallowed up all the surrounding supernatural beings.
"The time inside is ten times that of the real world."
Ask the questions you need to ask, and the rest is up to you.
"Okay, I won't let you down."
Lu Ci's smile was cruel and excited. With his two hands, this matter was not difficult at all.
First, modify the sensory perception of pain, amplifying it several times, even ten times. Stubborn to the end? We have plenty of ways to deal with them.
With that thought in mind, Lü Ci said goodbye and turned to enter the Heavenly Kingdom.
The sea was vast and dark, with only about twenty speedboats remaining on the surface.
Seeing that the little girl in his arms was showing signs of waking up, Jiang Mo instructed Lu Jin, "Jin'er, send her and the company's mole back first."
"I'm going to North Corleone Island."
"Alright, Uncle-Master."
Chapter 316: Different Ways, Don’t Conspire with Each Other
The rescue was a foregone conclusion. At 7:30 p.m., Lu Jin took Er Zhuang back to the company branch. Gao Lian's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. He was so excited that he thanked her incoherently.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu."
"Thank you, Senior Jiang!!"
Gao Lian choked up as he spoke, tightly embracing his frail daughter. His emotions had been fluctuating wildly all day, and the experience had been extremely agonizing.
"I'm entrusting the care of the spirits in your shrine to keep an eye on things. The traitors haven't been eliminated yet, so we're not safe right now."
"Yes, you've thought of everything."
His reminder startled Gao Lian, who then pleaded:
"Mr. Lu, could you please escort my daughter and me for a while?"
"Let's go."
Lu Jin did not refuse the younger man's request.
During the years when he was in charge of the Lu family, Gao Lian would often come to visit with his father. The two were old acquaintances, so he was naturally willing to help with this small favor.
Ten minutes later, a group of black cars drove out of the company branch gate and sped away, their destination the shrine where the Gao family worshipped immortals.
.......
At the headquarters of NaDuTong, the board members breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Gao Lian's message, but were also filled with a sense of dread. The hostage had actually been kidnapped overseas; they were just one step away from disaster.
Zhao Fangxu instructed Gao Lian to guard Er Zhuang and prevent any potential internal sabotage within the company from launching an attack. Before eliminating his own faction, Er Zhuang's safety was the top priority.
Meanwhile, messages also came from the temporary workers at the front.
The underground tunnel that had existed for so long was found, and its branches were outrageously numerous. There are currently eighty-one branches, and there are far more. It is winding and complex, like a maze.
"Search every inch of it thoroughly; the overseas entrances must be blocked."
"No mistakes!"
The board of directors issued a direct order to mobilize all available resources to seal off the underground tunnel.
.......
Due to the different time zones, it's still daytime on North Corleone Island, nearing noon.
A silver-white figure suddenly materialized in the void, and Jiang Mo looked down at the entire island, lost in thought.
"rise."
The next moment, he activated the Ten Directions Gu within his body and set up a barrier.
