"OP, do you have any information to share?"

"Read and investigated immediately! Report back!"

Many dark web users were concerned about this matter. To their surprise, the R5 virus was also effective against Level 4 Awakened, which immediately made them feel a deadly threat.

Jiang Mo was also closely monitoring the situation. The time interval between the posts was unstable, and it wasn't until 9 p.m. that two new videos were released.

One segment is a live video of a city completely infected by the virus. The British Level 4 Awakener still retains human features, but his consciousness is muddled, his eyes are bloodshot, and his roars are like those of a wild beast.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

He unleashed his power recklessly, and with every gesture, streets and buildings were reduced to ruins by the colossal purple fireballs he unleashed.

Karendo.

The British earl, ranked 52nd globally in strength and a top-tier Level 4 Awakened, was utterly powerless against the virus, a sight that shocked hundreds of thousands of users browsing the dark web.

The second video has no visuals; it is an audio recording of a conversation.

"Colin, Ryan, it's not too late to cancel the contracts you signed and terminate all your cooperation with China."

A cold female voice rang out first; she was one of the masterminds behind this biohazard incident.

"You stray dog, you've finally gotten anxious?"

The voice Jiang Mo heard was familiar yet cold and sharp, highly recognizable; it belonged to Colin, No. 16.

"In a hurry? If you want to try, we're happy to oblige." The woman said confidently.

"What do you mean, Lesserine?"

Ryan was dissatisfied, but he was mindful of his surroundings and dared not yell angrily.

“We have prepared 300 million R5 virus vectors, each about the size of a dust particle, which can be activated at any time and spread through the air. Between us, who do you think is more anxious?”

Leatherine and the other rebels immediately played one of their trump cards, putting pressure on Colin and Ryan.

“…”

The conversation suddenly fell silent. Clearly, the two usually assertive individuals had been caught off guard. The sheer size of the figure of 300 million, whether true or false, posed a threat they could not handle.

Intelligence from the front lines indicates that patients in the early stages of infection will enter a berserk state, gaining speed and strength several times greater than ordinary humans, allowing them to hunt humans at will.

After a moment of contemplation, Colin reiterated his position:

"Once the contract is signed, there is no possibility of termination."

“Leatherine, you need to understand that what you are threatening now is not just our interests.”

“…”

The woman opposite was equally wary of China's military might. Having learned the general terms of the contract through an insider, she insisted on:

"You have no choice. I'll repeat myself: give up the power lock."

"Otherwise, we can choose to leave here and leave you with a lot of headaches."

"That's impossible. If you dare to make a move, I guarantee you won't get away."

Colin was unwilling to back down, and once the other side confirmed that their threat was effective, they would be in a completely passive position.

Chapter 376 Chengzhen Emerges from Seclusion, Planning Ahead

The two sides engaged in a heated conversation for more than ten minutes. Leatherine wanted to activate the source of the epidemic several times, but she held back.

She was not confident that she would leave Britain alive, and she was also worried that prematurely attracting a full-scale attack would ruin her original plan.

Colin also could not accept that hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions, of people would be infected by the R5 virus.

Ultimately, the ceasefire agreement stipulated that the leaders, represented by Colin and Ryan, must provide a response within 48 hours, ceding five towns on the periphery of the territory to them, and prohibiting the establishment of any outposts or the deployment of drones for reconnaissance within a radius of 120km.

Both parties knew that this request was insincere and just a formality.

The war has reached a point of no return, with each side secretly plotting and scheming to destroy the other in one fell swoop.

After watching the two videos, Jiang Mo remained silent, feeling somewhat moved. The world overseas was already in chaos; when the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?

In a blurry corner of his dream, he saw the mountains and seas reviving, giant beasts roaring, and scenes of the earth being torn apart. He didn't know when the Nine Provinces would appear. There wasn't much he could do now but accumulate strength and prepare for the future.

"boom!"

Just as he was lost in thought, a heaven-shaking radiance erupted from the back mountain of the sect.

The two energies of wind and thunder surged and soared into the sky, transforming into a silver light that stood between heaven and earth. This magnificent phenomenon radiated outwards to the surrounding area with unstoppable force.

"Oh?"

Jiang Mo turned his head, gazing into the distance, a smile playing on his lips.

The younger brothers in the sect were stunned on the spot, and then they were overwhelmed with excitement and joy.

The sect leader has emerged from seclusion!

And it seems they've even reached a higher level!

Tourists, eccentrics, and pilgrims at the foot of Mount Trinity waited anxiously for dozens of days. Suddenly witnessing a miracle at night, they were extremely excited and let out shouts that echoed through the mountains and forests, frantically taking out their mobile phones to take pictures.

A silvery light covered the entire visible sky, stretching for thousands of meters. A semi-transparent figure could be vaguely seen, like a god in the world. The figure was hundreds of meters tall, with frosty hair and white clothes as white as snow.

That is undoubtedly the pure and clear Dharma of Heaven and Earth.

After years of accumulation in breaking through the third level of the Profound Fate stage, he mastered the myriad energies to forge his true self and cultivated this majestic Dharma form that overlooks mountains and rivers.

The rolling thunder echoed deep within the sea of ​​clouds, as dense as stars and as cascading as a waterfall, yet it was merely an embellishment to his work.

"amazing...."

As Changqing walked out of the library, he muttered to himself, his eyes filled with approval. He couldn't help but wonder how long it would take for him to reach this point.

"Master!"

Jun Ze was moved. He called out softly, his voice filled with uncontrollable joy, and he even stopped feeding the spirit pets.

"Master!"

"Great!"

"Grandmaster Uncle, look! Our sect leader has emerged from seclusion!"

Mu Ci, Zhuge Yu's disciple, was so happy that he danced with joy.

"Yes, I'm out of quarantine..."

Jiang Mo responded with a smile. Under his gaze, the strange phenomena that filled the sky quickly dissipated, and the power that had made the mountains tremble vanished in an instant, perfectly controlled and contained.

The next moment, a familiar figure stepped down and arrived in front of the sect's Qingxin Hall from thousands of meters away in an instant.

"Uncle Master."

Chengzhen stepped forward, smiled lightly at Jiang Mo, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, bowed slightly, and greeted him:

"Are you all right?"

"Not bad."

Jiang Mo looked at Cheng Zhen and saw that his Qi was normal, steady and calm, and his eyes were bright and full of spirit. He knew that Cheng Zhen had succeeded and was expected to move towards a higher realm.

Cultivating the Dharma Form is the necessary path to the third stage of the Profound Fate Realm. If one can pass through it, one has already accomplished more than half of the task. The rest is up to the test of time. One day, one will naturally succeed in cultivating the third stage and extend one's lifespan by more than a hundred years.

Subsequently, Chengzhen learned of the changes that had taken place down the mountain over the past few months from his disciples, and felt somewhat dazed.

The times are indeed changing rapidly. In just a few months of his seclusion, a large number of awakened individuals rose up in Kyushu, causing turmoil and carving out their own territories.

If I were to remain in seclusion for an even longer period, perhaps a year or two, or three or four years, who knows what the world would become?

"It must have been tough for Xiao Lu..."

"If I had come out sooner, I might have been able to help him."

Chengzhen was not afraid of the strength and methods of those awakened ones, but he was just a little regretful that he did not show up when his junior brother was conquering the Demon Cave and needed help the most.

He was mild-mannered and rarely took action in the more than seventy years since.

The extraordinary figures in the martial world only know that Chen Qingxuan, the master of the Sanyi Sect, the head of the Lu family, and the elder of the Wuhou clan are remarkable seekers of the Dao, who may have gone extremely far on the path of ascension and immortality.

However, information about this Wei Xuanzi is almost nonexistent, and he is indeed the second most outstanding figure in the sect, far ahead of his uncle Si Chong and all his fellow disciples.

Even when the dark web ranks the world's strongest individuals, it lacks effective evidence to place him in a suitable position because he has appeared so few times.

Aside from Jiang Mo, this 43rd generation leader of the Sanyi Sect is more than qualified to sit firmly on the throne of the world's number one in the public eye.

Upon hearing that Chengzhen wished to lend his junior brother a hand, Jiang Mo picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and then tapped the bamboo chair beside him with his fingers, gesturing for him to sit down and chat.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"With so many awakened individuals worldwide, quantitative change will drive qualitative change; it's only a matter of time."

"Even if dozens or hundreds of Level 5 Awakeners are born, I won't be surprised."

"It's just that things are relatively peaceful on the mainland. It's hard to say whether powerful figures from overseas will one day come riding the waves."

"If that day comes, your senior brother will have the opportunity to take care of Jin'er."

Jiang Mo took a sip of the cool tea. He was in a good mood tonight, having just happened to see his junior disciple emerge from seclusion.

"Then we'll see."

"As your senior, I will not allow outsiders to bully Xiao Lu."

Chengzhen drank his tea in a calm tone, then ordered his disciple to bring him a Go board, intending to play a game with Jiang Mo.

"Come."

"Uncle Master."

"it is good..."

Inside the gate, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, with lights burning brightly. Several young disciples had even given up sleep to stay by the two elders' side, serving them tea and water, creating a harmonious and joyful scene.

......

That same night, at the Security Council headquarters.

In the president's office on the 31st floor, Wei Yuanming and Zhang Zhiwei were both present. In front of Lu Jin, there was a huge ultra-high-definition 3D projection showing several British representatives talking. They looked distressed and spoke anxiously.

"Lu, we desperately need your help!"

Colin, Hudson, Ryan, and others revealed the whole story of how they were coerced by the Resident Evil crisis, hoping to use the power of the Security Council to eliminate their old enemy.

"help?"

"This is not within the scope of the agreement."

Lu Jin frowned. A few days ago, he had traveled thousands of miles to wipe out several Awakened's hideouts because someone had threatened to disrupt the contract deal.

Now that the conflict involves several people and the forces to which Leatherine belongs, he is neither in a position to interfere nor willing to get involved.

"Lu, can't you guys think of a solution?"

Ryan's face was pleading, and his voice trembled slightly:

“Those bastards want to overthrow us. If we are too busy to take care of ourselves, then the natural resources you want will also be affected. This is not a threat, but a direct statement.”

With a longing look in his eyes, the old master slowly opened the tablet on the table and played an overseas recording that had recently been mailed to the Security Council.

"Dear friends, I have long admired you. By the time you hear this recording, you must already know my identity and purpose."

"For the time being, I urge you to remain neutral and not interfere. What they can promise you in the contract, we can also promise. Of course, I sincerely hope that we can have friendly relations with each other."

"!!!"

Colin, Ryan, and Hudson, who were far away in another country, had a slight change in expression. They had not expected that this wicked woman, Leatherine, would pull such a drastic move.

After the recording finished playing, the old master refused their request:

"We will not interfere in overseas affairs unless they provoke disputes on their own initiative."

"Colin, Ryan...we will not leave out anything promised in the contract. Anything extra will be up to you to handle."

"I'm not sure if those people know the specifics of our contract, but just to be on the safe side, I suggest you investigate and see if there's a mole among them."

"Okay...I understand, thank you for your time."

Ryan looked unwell and didn't continue his plea. He couldn't sense any possibility of getting help from such blunt words.
