Chapter 127 The mastermind behind the scenes
Getting back to the point, now is not the time to be surprised.
Li Muyang secretly told the warrior what the Shennong Beast had said.
The soldier was also taken aback when he heard this. Seeing that Li Muyang was certain, he thought for a moment and then relayed the message to his superiors.
Upon receiving the news, the superiors paused for a moment before issuing orders for the soldier to keep it a secret and secretly search for the mastermind's whereabouts with Li Muyang! Once found, contact them as soon as possible! Be careful! This mastermind is extremely dangerous! Do not act rashly!
The unspoken message was that the soldiers should primarily protect Li Muyang, who had noticed something amiss, to prevent this well-meaning civilian from recklessly getting himself killed, and also to find the mastermind behind it all.
Surely these two people couldn't have found it faster than them, right?
The soldier simply shouted "Received" and didn't pay any attention. However, Li Muyang sensed something was wrong. It seemed that the superiors handling the matter had also noticed it, which was why they reacted so quickly!
Perhaps other warriors are also investigating the whereabouts of the mastermind.
"Comrade, can you find him?" the soldier asked Li Muyang after ending the communication.
Li Muyang blinked, thinking that saying he had already confirmed the location would be too exaggerated, and what if the other party had already moved? So he humbly said, "Let's try first! I can't be completely sure yet!"
“Okay!” The soldier nodded, gave a few instructions to his companion, and then began searching for the mastermind behind the scenes with Li Muyang.
Well... actually, Li Muyang just took him straight to the mastermind behind the scenes!
Arriving in front of a tall building, Li Muyang flew directly up, with the soldiers following closely behind.
On the rooftop, a young man who looked like a nobleman was lying on the sofa, watching the commotion with great interest, holding a girl who looked exactly like the girl in uniform behind the screen.
"Huh?" Suddenly, two people appeared in front of him. The young man blinked in confusion. What was going on? He hadn't sensed anyone approaching. How did these two Golden Core cultivators manage to break through the barrier he had set up around the building?
And the security equipment set up in their own building is now completely useless! Not a single piece was used! Although they had guessed that they might fly up directly, they didn't expect them to come so quickly!
So... you only sent two Golden Core cultivators! Aren't you underestimating me a bit?
"You two! Are you courting death?" The young man smiled wickedly. Before the warriors could react, a cloud of black liquid appeared out of thin air and formed a net from all directions, blocking all escape routes and covering them.
The soldier, without bothering to contact his superiors, tried to stop the young man's attack, but it was like throwing a stone into the ocean; the attack merged into the black liquid net without causing a ripple.
There was no time for a second counterattack. The soldier, left with no other option, contacted his superiors directly. He didn't care about sacrificing himself; the message had to get through! It was his carelessness! He hadn't expected the enemy to be lying so openly on the rooftop! And his comrades hadn't even noticed!
It's a pity about the comrade who came with him. So young and with such cultivation, he might have become a powerful figure in the future, but today...
Wow!
Just as the warriors were scrolling through the screen, Li Muyang swung his sword and severed the black liquid net.
This left both the soldier and the young man stunned for a moment!
"So that's how it is... A Golden Core cultivator who has mastered spatial abilities! Hahaha! No wonder you broke through my barrier so quickly and even tracked me down!" The young man muttered to himself, his mind racing. He hadn't expected to have an unexpected bonus besides his target!
Although he's still quite young and only at the Golden Core stage, his talent... wow! He's exactly the kind of talent the organization needs!
Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately said, "Comrade! You go quickly! I'll cover you!"
Li Muyang shook his head, both amused and exasperated: "Comrade, don't say things like that. This guy is at the peak of the Integration Realm and also has spatial abilities. He's focused on dealing with the two of us, so neither of us can escape!"
The young man gave a wicked smile: "You have good taste..."
Before he could finish speaking, a cold light had already swept past him, and while the young man was still grinning wickedly, he had unknowingly been split in two!
The young man reacted swiftly. Even though he was shocked that Li Muyang had silently cleaved him in two in an instant, he dared not be careless in the slightest. As soon as he regained his senses, he tried to recover, only to find that a portion of the energy containing the Dao remained in his wound! Although it was still very weak compared to him, it was definitely there!
"Hiss... This is truly eye-opening! You actually possess such abilities! A Golden Core True Body, spatial abilities, and you've even mastered your own primordial spiritual energy to this extent!" The youth, though cleaved in two, remained completely unfazed, grinning wickedly as he praised Li Muyang, "With your talent! Reaching the Integration Realm... no! The Great Ascension Realm is within reach! Entering the Immortal Realm isn't impossible!"
"My dear! Young man! I see you have extraordinary talent! Are you interested in joining our religion? How about learning about the Church of Truth? Join us! We'll take you on an adventure to explore all the truths of this world! You are qualified to become someone who comes close to the truth!" The young man said, already fully recovered.
"WTF! It's you guys?!" Li Muyang's eyes widened upon hearing this. He never expected that the Church of Truth, one of the most toxic organizations in the myriad worlds that his mother had told him about not long ago, would appear before his eyes!
In other words, this terrorist attack was secretly planned by these lunatics?
"Comrade! Don't listen to his nonsense!" The soldier had no idea what Li Muyang was thinking. Seeing that the other man was trying to sway Li Muyang, and that Li Muyang was actually pondering something, he hurriedly warned, "They're no good! According to our investigation, everyone who joins them has gone mad!"
The young man scoffed at this: "Pshaw! Are you crazy? Is this how you mediocre people view us? That's a one-sided view!"
"Those who have gone mad! They are merely unworthy of touching the truth! They can only serve as foils for geniuses to approach the truth! Following in our footsteps is their honor and the only way to realize their value! It's better than wasting their days in a daze! It's just making a small contribution to this world!"
The young man chuckled and pointed at Li Muyang, saying, "Comrade, you've probably greatly underestimated the talent of this young man beside you! Although it's only our first meeting, I have a feeling he's far more talented than I am! If possible, I'd like to be your introducer to the Church of Truth! And if you achieve even greater success than me in the future, I'd be willing to become one of your followers!"
"Secondly! If it's a space-related issue, feel free to come to me! I'll answer all your questions! It's free! That's our Truth Church! Knowledge is power! Believe me! I'm serious!"
The soldier turned to look at Li Muyang, only to find that Li Muyang's expression was twisted in disgust!
Alright! I'm relieved! They definitely won't agree to that!
The young man remained smiling, patiently waiting for Li Muyang's reply.
Li Muyang also spoke up: "Geniuses stroll among the stars, while mediocre people can't even catch up with a single footprint."
Upon hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up! His smile grew even brighter! He could tell! We're kindred spirits!
Unexpectedly, Li Muyang immediately followed up with the following sentence: "Mediocre people can only learn to walk independently and spend their lives in mediocrity, falling and getting up! But a life of failure is still a life, and they have the right to taste it to the end! Only when they fall to the ground and no one helps them up can fools learn how to stand up!"
The young man's smile froze instantly, replaced by a bitter one. He bowed slightly and said, "It seems that you, young man, have a different view of the truth than we do!"
Li Muyang smiled slightly and said slowly, "The beauty of truth lies in the fact that it remains unchanged even if no one understands it... I myself am no exception! I'm truly sorry to disappoint you! Because not long ago, I was just a troubled and mediocre person! A farce, all sorts of troubles, in the end, it was nothing more than a fool worrying about nothing!"
"Oh! By the way! These words weren't spoken by me; they were just lines from a doctor in another world."
"Hahaha! Interesting! I'm also interested in the talent of this person who can say such things!" The young man laughed loudly, followed by a strong sense of oppression that made Li Muyang and the soldiers feel pressured.
"I'm sorry, but since we can't reach an agreement, we'll have to resort to force!"
As they chatted and laughed, the young man had already reached out and touched Li Muyang.
……
After a long while, Li Muyang blinked and calmly said to the young man who had placed his hand on his chest, "Big brother, I don't have that kind of interest. Could you please take your hand back?"
The young man awkwardly withdrew his hand, staring blankly at it, muttering, "This shouldn't be happening. It's just a Golden Core! How could it have no effect?"
I've assimilated so many people, it's just the Golden Core stage, and I've never seen it ineffective.
Just as the young man was contemplating life, Li Muyang sighed helplessly: "Gentlemen, I've already stalled for so long, you don't really want me to deal with this kid, do you? Even if I do have some trump cards, I'm not sure if I can beat him!"
Just then, a figure appeared between Li Muyang and the young man.
"Isn't it because you seemed to be having a good time talking with him?" Li Ma teased Xiao Xuanyan leisurely. "It's good for you to chat with someone you can relate to. After all, you won't have the chance to see him again!"
Soldier (excitedly): "Director Xiao!"
Li Muyang: "Mom!"
Soldier: "Huh?!"
Li Ma's pretty face darkened: "Please address people by their titles when you're out!"
The young man was startled by Li Muyang's use of "Mom," and scratched his head with an embarrassed smile: "So you're Sister Xiao's son! You're indeed exceptionally talented! I apologize for my intrusion! Farewell!"
He turned around and wanted to run.
But Li Yunfei blocked his way.
"Since you're already here, don't leave," Li's father teased with a smile. "I saw you chatting quite happily with my son, Xiao Jia. And weren't you here for me? I'm right here in front of you! Why don't you give it a try?"
Li Yunfei had a "I'm bait" look on his face; how could you give up so easily? Give it a try!
The young man's lips twitched violently. Try it and you'll die! He raised his hands in surrender: "Uncle Li! I swear to God! I never intended to assimilate you! After all, I know the principle of picking on the weak! It's just that those old guys in the organization won't give up... Is it too late for me to confess and cooperate?"
