"Does the Dark Web's intelligence differ from regular intelligence?" Ye Tian asked.
"There's a significant difference," Ren Ping replied. "For instance, if you want to obtain a lost cultivation technique, you might even find useful clues. Or, if you're looking for a martial arts expert who disappeared decades ago, it's also possible to track them down."
"From what you're saying, the Dark Web you're referring to doesn't seem to be purely an official network?" Ye Tian inquired.
"That's right. Many private individuals participate in the Dark Web, selling intelligence and buying intelligence. Of course, the state can obtain some valuable intelligence from it for free."
The group returned to Jiuhua Mountain Villa. After waiting for about two and a half hours, a large number of Japanese people began to enter the vicinity of Jiuhua Mountain Villa. Ye Tian noticed them as soon as they arrived and asked Su Lingxi to go scout.
A few minutes later, Su Lingxi returned and said, "Junior Brother Tian, over three hundred people have arrived."
Ren Ping chuckled, "Over three hundred people, that's at least three teams. Heh heh, these bastards are truly greedy, trying to hollow out the medicinal field!"
At this moment, an intelligence operative reported to Ren Ping, "Boss, radar has detected two American Chinook helicopters disguised as private planes taking off, targeting our location."
Ren Ping cursed, "Damn it, they've even brought American transport helicopters. Heh heh, very good, we'll capture these two planes!"
"How can these military transport planes appear within our borders?" Ye Tian asked.
"It's not strange. Many enthusiasts in the country buy these helicopters from the black market."
"Old Ren, if we capture the planes, give me one," Ye Tian said.
Ren Ping laughed, "No problem, and I'll give you a pilot too!"
Ye Tian had already deployed his men, but among the arrivals were many masters, requiring Ye Tian to suppress the strong ones.
Ten minutes later, a group of people quietly ascended the mountain and arrived at Ye Tian's medicinal field. An elder in a black robe pulled up a Tianqi plant and bit into a leaf.
After half a minute, he trembled and exclaimed, "This herb has miraculous medicinal power, it's a spiritual medicine!"
"Yosh!" A middle-aged man in work clothes behind him said excitedly, "With so much spiritual medicine, we can develop many miraculous drugs! These herbs can support a high-end pharmaceutical market worth trillions of dollars!"
Then he waved his hand, "Dig up the herbs, leave none behind, and take them all to Japan!"
"Did you get my permission to dig up my herbs?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the other end of the medicinal field, striking everyone's hearts like a hammer.
The middle-aged man was startled and looked across. He saw Ye Tian stepping on the leaves of the herbs, gliding through the air as if moving on a void, arriving before the group.
"Who... who are you?" the middle-aged man asked in surprise.
"I am the owner of the medicinal field."
The middle-aged man quickly regained his composure and sneered, "I can see you have martial arts skills. But it's useless, these spiritual medicines already belong to our Great Japan! Come, seize him and take him back for strict interrogation about the origin of the spiritual medicines!"
Four wisps of green smoke suddenly appeared from the surroundings, and four ninjas dressed in red emerged, attacking Ye Tian with Japanese swords. The swordsmanship of these four was very sharp, and Ye Tian determined they were all masters of the Ninja King level.
Four swords struck from four angles, blocking all escape routes. But Ye Tian didn't need to retreat. He turned his body slightly, and the four swords were repelled by a strange force. Simultaneously, four gusts of finger wind struck the four Ninja Kings, causing them to stiffen and fall to the ground.
"Bang!"
A hand suddenly emerged from the ground, reaching for Ye Tian's foot. The hand was pale and chilling.
Ye Tian stepped on it without even looking.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
The body of someone underground was crushed by his foot, and a column of blood spurted from the ground.
"What!"
Seeing all five Ninja Kings incapacitated in the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man was greatly astonished.
Ye Tian took out the Jade Emperor Mace and unleashed his divine striking technique. A golden light erupted, causing the heads of the hundreds of Japanese people present to ache, and they all fainted.
Previously, Ye Tian could not unleash the full power of the Jade Emperor Mace, but now, as an Earth Immortal with a Nascent Soul, he could wield most of its might.
At this moment, Ren Ping arrived with his men and quickly took control of all these hundreds of people.
