Ultimately, the plan remained unchanged. Under the arrangement of several chairmen, the Security Council repeatedly warned the awakened ones in the seven demonic caves to evacuate, but these warnings were ignored time and again.

At night, the nine equipped weapons also officially arrived, a total of three pieces.

One is a heavy sword forged using the same materials as Class A mechs. The flat, dark opening at the end of the sword is the emission outlet for the beam of light particle energy. A single shot can blast through obstacles a kilometer away. The known physical strength of a Level 4 Awakened is simply not enough to withstand it; at most, it can fire three shots.

The other two are Tang Dynasty horizontal swords, each four feet three inches long, with blades flowing with high-frequency vibrating particle light, as light and agile as flames, yet possessing the strongest single-target cutting power.

After discussion, it was decided that Lu Jin, being the fastest and most agile in escape techniques, would be given the heavy sword, while Zhang Zhiwei and Wei Yuanming would fight with their knives.

In fact, once you reach the level of a supreme grandmaster like them, the enhancement from ordinary weapons is not significant. However, these weapons were all crafted according to the stringent requirements of Class A mecha accessories, making them even more powerful.

At dawn on June 1st, 12 hours before setting off to wipe out the Immortal Demon Cave, four Class B mechs had arrived at headquarters and were fully charged.

That night, Lu Jin finally received his senior brother's message. The brief five words were enough to shake him to his core and fill him with excitement.

"My martial uncle has emerged from seclusion."

"Wow!"

The moment he saw those words, Lu Jin used his magic to rush back to the sect and went straight to the fourth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, where he saw that familiar figure.

.......

Jiang Mo emerged from seclusion earlier than he had anticipated. He had already cultivated his second true form, but he still preferred his original form, remaining dressed in black robes and with frosty hair.

At this moment, he sat on the futon, listening to Changqing report on the changes in the sect over the past week and the unrest among the awakened people down the mountain.

"So, those two beasts think they can act with impunity just because they have a few tricks up their sleeves?"

Jiang Mo's eyes were as calm as a lake. To him, there was little difference between thousands of miles away and close at hand. Since Ming Xuan and Yan Zhi were hiding in Xian Quan's headquarters, it suited his wishes even better, saving him the trouble of searching for them.

Furthermore, he also approved of Lu Jin and Chang Qing's practice of expelling their disciples.

After seventy years of twists and turns, including the two protectors, the sect still has exactly thirty people. Jiang Mo was not disappointed in those who left. After all, he had never placed any hope in this group of people, so how could he be disappointed?

All of his nephews and nieces who have been with him for 74 years and are still alive have entered the Triple Rebirth Realm. This alone is his greatest pride and comfort. Everything has its rise and fall, and who can guarantee eternal immortality?

Seize the moment, cherish the present. The younger generation he mentored have all achieved what he expected. As for the rest, let them be.

"Changqing, summon Jin'er back."

"Yes."

Changqing knew that his martial uncle was about to take action, so he immediately contacted his junior brother.

Seconds later, the message was sent, and a white light suddenly appeared out of thin air, spanning hundreds of kilometers.

"Uncle-Master, your disciple has returned."

Lu Jin spoke softly and stepped forward to greet him.

"You look tired and haggard. You seem to have been working very hard lately. Please sit down."

Jiang Mo glanced at him and gently pushed a freshly warmed teacup over.

Lu Jin took the document, sipped it lightly, gathered her thoughts, and then recounted in detail the attack plan of the past few days, before sincerely asking:

"Uncle-Master, my senior brother and I are preparing to capture and kill the traitor and destroy the Demon Cave. Would you like to come with us?"

How many awakened beings are there?

Jiang Mo inquired, but he had only heard Chang Qing mention that those rebellious evil cultivators were running rampant and occupying border towns, though their exact numbers were still unclear.

"Xianquan's residence has a population of over 80,000 and a total of 12 Level 4 Awakeners, which is equivalent to 12 Supreme Grandmasters."

Lu Jin truthfully informed him of the latest news.

"What are you thinking? Will you leave any survivors?"

Jiang Mo was tempted. He wanted to execute Ming Xuan and Yan Zhi, and since the other evil cultivators were easy to deal with, he would eliminate them all.

“We have notified them many times and given them a choice to live, but they don’t appreciate it. Once a major battle breaks out there, there will be no room for maneuver.”

Lu Jin spoke those words with a cold and calm demeanor.

He and the Security Council did indeed go to great lengths, but things didn't go as planned.

“Those self-righteous, blindly fanatical low-level awakened individuals can only become cannon fodder. We will do everything in our power to eliminate all targets, including the 12 level 4 awakened individuals.”

"it is good......"

Jiang Mo smiled slightly, "Then I'll go too, just to do my part."

"Jin'er, is it convenient to hold a meeting now? Contact your two colleagues and the highest-ranking official in the Ninth Department to revise the plan."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Lu Jin responded excitedly. With his martial uncle's help, they could split into two groups and attack the other demon caves simultaneously.

Chapter 357 Quitting the Addiction to "King" - Golden Flames Burn the Sky

On the eve of the battle, Zhang Zhiwei and Wei Yuanming were both at headquarters, ready to go.

The heads of the Ninth Department also stayed up all night and were still busy. Upon receiving Lu Jin's urgent notice, the impromptu meeting was held and the participants were assembled in less than 5 minutes.

During the online video conference, everyone present wore a joyful expression, as if they had received a great deal of reassurance.

They communicated with the white-haired youth, a figure embodying numerous legends and almost a reincarnation of myth, through a screen. Their respect was palpable, and even their aging eyes were filled with excitement.

The three elders from the Nine Departments who participated in the meeting suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, never expecting to receive such an unprecedented surprise late at night.

With Lu Jin's help, this only humanoid A4-level extraordinary being in the country agreed to join the war against hundreds of thousands of awakened beings.

Two of the elderly people experienced a surge in heart rate, feeling a sense of exhilarating release from stress.

They had witnessed the entire testing process of the Class A mechs some time ago and knew just how terrifying Jiang Mo's abilities were. Let alone a single Immortal Demon Cave, even seven of them combined wouldn't be enough for him to kill.

After the three heads of the nine departments and Wei Yuanming introduced themselves and greeted Jiang Mo, the meeting officially began.

"Uncle-Master, what are your thoughts? Why don't you tell us?" Lu Jin asked directly.

As everyone waited with bated breath, Jiang Mo calmly said:

"You all go and take charge of the other rebel forces; leave Xian Quan to me."

"I will send the traitors in the sect off, and as for the awakened ones in the city, no matter how many or how strong they are, they will all be just extras."

After he said this, no one doubted his ability to do it. Given the insurmountable gap in strength, having a large number of them would be meaningless.

An elderly man, showing some concern, promptly offered a reminder:

“Senior, Xian Quan claims that their demon cave is shrouded in a special wormhole. We are worried that if you launch a surprise attack there, it will cause serious damage to important cities in the country.”

The battle traces left by Jiang Mo on North Kolai Island have been thoroughly investigated by the Nine Departments and many overseas intelligence organizations. His sword strike, which cleaved out sword energy for tens of kilometers, almost tore the island apart. If such an attack were used and redirected, it would be a catastrophic disaster.

Recalling the horrifying scenes in those photos, the old man's expression became very solemn, his lips moved, and he said:

"The effective information we have so far is that there is a very high probability that nuclear weapons and missiles will be transmitted here, but whether other attacks can be absorbed is still an unknown mystery."

"Although the guild leaders were prepared to sacrifice parts of the bustling city center to destroy the Demon Cave in their previous plans, I would like to ask if you have a way to minimize the impact of the battle?"

"Have."

Jiang Mo did not hesitate for a moment. He understood the other party's concerns. Given the current situation, he could think of three ways to launch a surprise attack.

1. Expand the land to the sky, opening the area to its maximum, and take in all the awakened ones;

2. With the help of the Mirage Gu and the Soul-Breaking Curse, he infiltrates the Demon Cave, locks onto a maximum of a thousand people, instantly kills their souls, and continuously sweeps through the entire city until there are no living people left. Even if he completes the large-scale spell lock-on in as little as 1 second, he will need 1 minute and 20 seconds to completely eliminate at least 8 awakened beings.

3. Whether it is feasible to use true methods to refine the wormhole hidden in the demon cave, or to simultaneously set up a barrier and the blood-red barrier of the Ten Directions Gu to seal off that area, is unknown.

Jiang Mo firmly believed that he could crush the city with a single, all-out sword strike, and no matter how powerful the Awakened One guarding that city was, he would be reduced to ashes.

Killing someone is not difficult; what is truly difficult is minimizing casualties.

He seemed to be deep in thought, and asked the several leaders:

How much do you know about wormholes?

"Since it can teleport objects remotely, if that Awakener develops their abilities sufficiently, it might be possible to pull all the people near the wormhole in the opposite direction. Have you considered this? Have you discovered the location of the wormhole?"

The cold voice made the elderly men stiffen, and they explained hesitantly:

"I'm ashamed to say that we cannot unravel the mysteries of wormholes."

"But we have control of its five locations. Six hours ago, we used the supernatural ability detector to screen and screen areas with seriously abnormal data, and we also guided the local people to evacuate in an orderly manner."

"......"

Do you have specific information about the spellcaster?

Jiang Mo asked again, saying he wouldn't mind breaking into the demon's lair and killing the one who set up the wormhole first.

“No…” A bald old man shook his head helplessly. “The intelligence of the higher-ups in Xianquan is very thorough. There are more than one undercover agent planted in the company. They have all gone missing or been killed in the past two days. We cannot determine which of the 12 leaders the Awakener who released the wormhole is.”

"Give me the locations of the wormholes in the five cities, and I'll go check them out before I set off."

"Okay, it has been sent to your device."

After skipping that topic, Jiang Mo looked at Lu Jin and Zhang Zhiwei:

"Have you selected any targets for your planned attacks on the rebellious forces outside of Xianquan?"

"We've made our choice, Uncle-Master. Our target is the 'Luowu' Demon Cave, located on the southwestern border."

"They have an estimated 6 Awakened Ones there, including 7 Level 4 Awakened Ones. One of their leaders, named Luo Wukun, is extremely dangerous and has the potential to become a king in the future. He is considered one of the three major threats that we must eliminate."

Lu Jin had previously exchanged opinions with Zhang Zhiwei and Wei Yuanming, and their ideas were surprisingly consistent: to prioritize dealing with this troublesome matter.

Seeing that her martial uncle seemed to have doubts, Lu Jin gave a brief introduction to the information about Lin Yingya, Gu Yinnian, and Luo Wukun.

"Does he have ambitions to become king?"

"Then you should go and help that little guy kick his 'king' addiction."

Jiang Mo couldn't help but smile.

During the meeting, he reviewed a lot of information provided by others and learned that the strength range of a Level 4 Awakener was similar to that of a Supreme Grandmaster.

Even if this kind of thing is upgraded to level 5 and has the ability to compete with Class A mechs, it is still far from being able to carve out a territory, become a king, or overthrow the order.

"it is good."

"Then we'll split into two groups, one in the south and one in the north, and destroy these two dens of evil first."

After finalizing the changes to the operational plan, the meeting ended abruptly, and everyone went into a state of readiness.

At 3:24, Jiang Mo, along with Lu Jin and Chang Qing, descended the mountain and, following the clues provided by the Nine Departments, went to five cities in sequence, marking the teleportation points before finally stopping at the coastal city of Shenzhen.

Under the dim night sky, several major traffic arteries in the busiest part of the city were blocked, and people were still being evacuated. The noise was deafening, and an atmosphere of panic permeated the air.

Jiang Mo appeared on the top floor of a building hundreds of meters high, his expression calm and indifferent, the night wind howling and making his white hair flutter.

Lu Jin and Chang Qing followed behind. They suddenly raised their heads and gazed at the void above the city, vaguely sensing traces of mysterious power fluctuations resembling a net-like structure.

"Uncle-Master, it's right there."

Lu Jin's eyes showed vigilance. All three of them restrained their Qi to the extreme, just like ordinary people, to avoid alerting the spellcaster in advance.

"..."

Deep within Jiang Mo's pupils flowed crimson-gold Dao traces, the power bestowed upon his eyes by the true Dharma, piercing through countless illusions and reaching the essence. In addition, his eyes, tempered by the Five Qi Dharma Body, also possessed unparalleled enhancement in discerning the principles of techniques.

His gaze remained still, hidden among the hundreds of thousands of evacuating people, locking onto a clearly patterned spiderweb of shadows hanging high in the void.

It spawns countless long and grotesque tentacles, gripping various nodes in the void or hanging down to the ground, attaching themselves to towering human buildings to secure their position. The central area is a gaping hole with a diameter of hundreds of meters, like a concave garbage can, ready to pour out the contents absorbed from the other end at any time.

The analysis speed increased rapidly, and in just a few breaths, Jiang Mo had a clue.

The wormhole cleverly utilizes its own power to carve a secret passage between two locations in advance, much like a piece of origami being pierced by a pen tip, thus shortening the transmission distance.

What's commendable is that the difference between a wormhole and a hole in paper is that it can move flexibly in the three-dimensional real world, rather than being rigidly fixed in one place.

The key to solving this problem lies precisely here: the shadowy spiderweb that forms the wormhole does not possess the ability to penetrate matter. It exists in this space in a complete and continuous state, and is not a special, untouchable dimension. Theoretically, it can be confined to a certain range and sealed off. No matter what kind of things it spills out, as long as Jiang Mo's barrier and encirclement are strong enough, everything will be fine and will not affect the city below.

Ultimately, it is both a clash of techniques and a contest between people.

"Uncle-Master, have you found any clues?"

"Well...we're lucky; we can handle this level and type of wormhole."

Jiang Mo shared his observations and speculations with his two junior disciples, and then immediately took action.

"Wow!"

In an instant, the entire earth trembled, the void shook, and countless blazing silver energies appeared out of thin air.
