Tai Shang Wang Qing views all as devoid of emotion, thus in her eyes, anyone experiencing affection or love deserves death, or rather, they believe everything in this world should be thrown into disarray.
When Ye Longlin and Mu Hanqi appeared before Ye Qingxin, she felt the love emanating from them, finding it repulsive!
"You've worsened since last time."
As a peak Dao Realm existence, Ye Longlin could discern the other's condition at a glance.
Upper Grade Various Dragon Elephant.
Just one step away from directly entering the Dao Realm.
Ye Qingxin shot Ye Longlin a cold glance, remained silent, and merely shook her head, indicating her unwillingness to speak.
"We have distinguished guests, why aren't they being received?"
An ancient voice echoed from above.
"As you command."
Daoist Li, with a helpless sigh, could only lead the two towards the grand hall within.
Upon reaching the hall, they finally met the person who had spoken earlier.
This elder wore a yellow robe, immediately identifiable as the person in charge here.
In the Daoist sect, robe colors were divided into yellow, purple, red, cyan, green, black, and white, from highest to lowest.
Some might believe purple robes were very powerful, but in reality, this wasn't necessarily true.
Yellow robes, favored by kings, were the highest grade of ritual robes, typically worn by Heavenly Masters and Supreme Lords.
Purple robes were worn by Grand Masters when lecturing scriptures, and they could also be called celestial officials or elder ministers.
A yellow-robed Daoist's power stemmed from himself, whereas a purple-robed Daoist's influence came from his ancestors.
"Distinguished guests have arrived, please pardon our discourtesy."
Lu Zhi smiled slightly and bowed to the three.
Mu Hanqi looked around, finding the scenery here far more appealing than below.
...
Somewhere in Jinling.
A man in a suit and tie entered a residential complex, following the address on his phone to Room 3103, Unit 1, Building 3.
"Ding dong."
After pressing the doorbell, he waited by the door.
A moment later, a voice came from inside.
"Who?"
The man adjusted his tie and replied, "Why do lions on the mountain come down to eat sheep?"
The person inside was silent for a moment: "Because there's no food on the mountain?"
The man continued his reply: "Wrong. The mountain is a nature reserve. Why would lions come down?"
The person inside breathed a sigh of relief: "Because there's a tiger ascending, and a lion descending. When two kings contend, one must die."
After confirming the password, the person inside opened the door, let him in, peered outside to check left and right, and then closed the door.
Upon entering the room, the person inside immediately activated the anti-eavesdropping devices.
"Why choose to meet here? There are too many people in the complex."
The man in the suit and tie spoke, his voice turning sinister, his entire demeanor becoming somewhat eerie.
"In a normal complex with thousands of residents, no one would think to establish a base here. Are you here to make a move?"
The man in casual wear asked, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes, as if he couldn't wait any longer.
The man in the suit and tie nodded slightly: "Give them some trouble this afternoon. Only when things are chaotic can we fish in troubled waters. Also, the higher-ups want this stopped, meaning we must destroy this Military God Rankings update."
The man in casual wear nodded: "You wait for me."
Soon, the man brought out several boxes, stacking about ten boxes in front of him!
"These are self-detonating drones, with an effective flight range of five kilometers, equivalent to the explosive power of six grenades."
"These are high-definition camera drones, capable of flying twenty kilometers above ground, transmitting footage in real-time."
"These three boxes are entirely assembled Barrett rifles."
"And these are..."
The sheer quantity of items stunned the man in the suit and tie, clearly not expecting the other to have so much stuff at home.
"You..."
The man in the suit was speechless, unsure of what to say, and could only express his bewilderment.
"I just received these yesterday, sent from headquarters. After they arrived, I received orders from headquarters saying someone would come to collect them and told me the password. I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
The two men exchanged glances, and the man in the suit nodded slightly, saying, "You should pack them into two large suitcases, otherwise, it'll be too easy for people to get suspicious if you carry them out like this."
"They're already prepared."
The man in casual wear brought out two suitcases from inside and said, "Everything is in these two suitcases. These suitcases contain all of this."
The man in the suit and tie nodded, picked up the two suitcases, and left directly.
He pressed the elevator button, went straight to the basement, placed them in the trunk, and drove away.
An hour later, he arrived at another villa.
In this villa, all the war criminals who had appeared at the Military God Rankings event were present.
"Help yourselves to whatever you need. Your mission now is to prevent the successful update of their Military God Rankings. I don't care what price you have to pay, nor what methods you use. I want to hear the news I want to hear this afternoon, understand?"
The man in the suit and tie spoke slowly, his tone filled with authority.
"Does the Dark Hall not consider us human? 'No matter what price you have to pay' means we can even sacrifice our lives to stop them?"
"Boss is right. The Dark Hall rescued us from the Mobei Prison, but we've also done a lot for the Dark Hall. If we hadn't eliminated the opposition, do you think you'd be in your current position?"
"Heh, the Dark Hall has never treated us as people, only as tools."
The man narrowed his eyes, reached out, and grabbed the neck of the person beside him, his eyes blazing with a dangerous light.
He lifted the man off the ground with brute force and said menacingly, "Do you really think I need you? I'll give you one minute to choose: go and live, or stay and die!"
After speaking, he looked at the person in his hands and sneered, "You, are you going or not?"
The man was also stubborn, spitting: "Go to hell! Even if I die, I won't go. What can you do to me?"
Saying that, he gripped the other's wrist and twisted it sharply.
However, the other party didn't react at all. He chuckled and said, "You're simply asking for death!"
He directly snapped the man's neck, threw his corpse on the ground, and looked coldly at the others present.
"Are you going or not?"
After looking at the corpse on the ground, the group was silent for a moment before opening their suitcases.
"You're responsible for sniping."
"You're responsible for operating the drones."
"You..."
