Chapter 179: Chapter 39 Infiltration Plan

The security at Chongyi Building was too strict for an ordinary chamber of commerce but somewhat lax for the Demon Sect, allowing An Jing to easily find his target.

The martial artist clad in Jeweled Clothes was named Guo Chang, and he was also the publicly known leader of the guards at Chongyi Building.

According to public information, he possessed Inner Strength, and was said to hail from the northeastern outer regions of Da Chen, known as the Dragon Master domain that worships the Holy Dragon and True Dragon. His Divine Abnormality, ’Jeweled Clothes,’ was also of a special kind, learned from the sea beasts in the ocean.

"Doesn’t feel strong."

This was An Jing’s assessment after observing up close.

Guo Chang’s strength was commendable on any level. He looked thin, but his muscles were as firm as steel, capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards with every move, and the long whip at his waist was a formidable weapon, no less excellent than An Jing’s Mysterious Iron long blade.

If it were An Jing, who had not mastered the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, he probably wouldn’t last ten moves against him, and even Lu Jin, returned to his youth, would not be much stronger than Guo Chang.

However, as long as the opponent didn’t have multiple layers of Divine Abnormality for defense, or a fleshly body comparable to a Martial Meridian in strength, they couldn’t stop the sudden assault of the Sword Box.

Of course, this was under the condition that the other party was unprepared.

In other words, it would be best not to use the Sword Box before taking him down.

As long as An Jing could take down Guo Chang with minimal cost, preventing himself from being besieged by two individuals with Inner Strength, his chances of ultimate victory would increase by fifty percent!

An Jing suppressed the urge to draw his Sword Box now and shoot dead the emaciated man, "When I attack by surprise, that is when I will kill. Now killing would only be beating the grass and startling the snake."

His ultimate goal was Lu Jin and the demonic statue in the secret chamber. He had to remember his primary target.

In Chongyi Building, there were a total of fifteen martial artists with some capabilities on paper, excluding Guo Chang. The other fourteen martial artists were divided into seven teams, each leading a group of martial disciples, patrolling inside and outside the building.

In secret, there were more than ten martial artists hiding, unseen and unheard, within Chongyi Building, most likely the elite of the True Demon Sect hidden in the city preparing for rebellion.

"Haven’t you thought about using your Earth Escape Divine Skill to follow those troublemakers or martial artists back to their lairs to investigate?" An Jing asked as he trailed them, observing the enemy’s movement patterns, while You Ruhui honestly replied, "I originally thought their lair was official government, and the government could detect the disturbances I caused in the Earth Vein, so I dared not get too close to investigate."

An Jing nodded and continued to ask, "Can your Escape Skill shield us from Heavenly Demon detection? I want to sneak into the building to take a look."

You Ruhui observed Chongyi Building seriously for a moment and shook her head, "No, there is likely a Heavenly Demon statue inside that has been worshipped for over fifty years, and it has formed a faint Law Domain."

"While we were running around earlier, I wanted to activate my Skills to probe inside, but my Spiritual Perception warned me that it was very dangerous."

"I see."

An Jing pondered thoughtfully. He had been wondering how his Lotus Seed Drone had been discovered; it seems likely that it was detected by the Law Domain.

Reconnaissance complete.

You Ruhui put down her binoculars and was also in a dilemma, "My initial thought was that I would assist you in secretly capturing a couple of disciples of the True Demon Sect, and then you would report them to the authorities."

"After all, I can’t appear before the officials, and after you report them, we could just wait for the government to eradicate them. Even if there are insiders in the government, they can’t do much with irrefutable evidence."

"This way is safe and simple. I won’t be exposed, and you get the credit."

"But I didn’t expect that the True Demon Sect’s strength had already expanded to this extent—two martial masters with Inner Strength, coupled with True Demon Secret Techniques and the enhancement of the Heavenly Demon Law Domain. Without the protection of a Grandmaster, the City Magistrate could only utilize the Earth Vein to deal with them."

"Yet once the Earth Vein is used, they will be severely injured by the Dark Hand hidden at the node... not to mention there could also be Demon Disciples lurking within the government."

"Unknowingly, the lifeline of Ming City has fallen into the hands of Heavenly Demons!"

Although lacking in experience, You Ruhui was not without intelligence. She quickly grasped the crux of the matter and understood the flaw in her plan, "We were right not to report to the authorities, which also lets us catch them off guard... but now, what do you think we should do?"

Due to her lack of experience, she couldn’t come up with a new plan right away.

"Simple."

And with all the information about Chongyi Building memorized, An Jing already had a complete plan in mind, "When the opportunity is right, I will infiltrate Chongyi Building, kill the leader of the demons, and solve all these problems."

"Infiltration?"

You Ruhui was astonished; she rolled her eyes as if recalling someone familiar and cautiously said, "The infiltration you’re talking about... It wouldn’t be the kind where you just charge in, kill anyone on sight, and then there are no survivors to witness your infiltration, right?"

An Jing was silent.

Though You Ruhui wore a veil, it was obvious that she was greatly shocked: "You’re not really planning to do that, are you?"

An Jing didn’t directly answer her question: "Today’s snow isn’t too heavy, but based on my experience, within a day or two at most, there’ll be a blizzard that obscures all visibility."

"At that time, the City Magistrate will definitely take action, using the Joining Earth Pulse to employ Divine Skill to resist the heavy snow."

"The forces of the True Demon Sect will definitely be concentrated around the Earth Pulse Node. Then, you take Granny Huai and hide in the surroundings, cast a few Skills to cause some chaos, that’s all. I will take advantage of the emptiness inside the Chongyi Building and eliminate the most crucial figures."

"No no no..." Even someone as unsophisticated as You Ruhui shook her head frantically: "We’re not strong enough! With two Inner Strength martial masters and the support of Heavenly Demon Secret Techniques, they are invincible in Kanming City currently, you must sneak in and ambush!"

"What kind of plan is this? It’s just recklessness!"

"What about it?" An Jing glanced at You Ruhui with a smile, "Isn’t it just because you can’t see through me, thinking my strength is extraordinary, that’s why you actively sought me out?"

"I thought you had some guess about my strength... I didn’t expect that you were simply out of options."

You Ruhui was speechless.

Indeed, it was because she couldn’t fathom An Jing’s true strength and knew that he must have considerable hidden strength that she came up with the idea of ’collaboration’.

But... would a normal person really come up with such a plan?!

— Sure enough, these born Life Holders, each and every one of them is a madman beyond the ordinary!

After taking a deep breath and calming down, You Ruhui started to ponder, "If you really are confident in your own strength... then I can indeed help you."

"If you can hold off one with Inner Strength, I’ll prepare the Law Altar in advance; perhaps I could cast a Daoist art that heavily injures or even kills him."

"In that case, with only one Inner Strength opponent left, the two of us should be able to hold the other off."

"Alright, but still prioritize your own safety and Granny Huai’s above all else."

An Jing, hearing this, felt quite pleasantly surprised—while he felt it unnecessary, it was a good thing that You Ruhui had a trump card, as it increased the margin for error: "Later, I will also draw out the True Demon Sect to make a move on me, alerting the officials of Da Chen. That’s their job; can’t let them idle around."

"I’m not strong enough, I can only think of such methods." You Ruhui was still somewhat puzzled, she shook her head slightly: "But you’re different... Putting aside Heavenly Demon Secret Techniques, a well-known martial artist like Lu Jin must have hidden strength."

"Even if you truly have confidence to defeat him, why risk your own safety?"

An Jing did not answer this question.

Risk... huh?

No, it’s not that.

In An Jing’s eyes, a crimson light flickered. The reason he wanted to do this was not really about risk or benefit... He simply didn’t want Da Chen’s officials or anyone else to take his prey.

He wanted to take his prey, one he had finally found where he could go all out, with no reservations or reasons holding him back, where he could disregard everything and indulge in destruction and slaughter.

He just...

Wanted to vent.

Memorizing all the intelligence about the Chongyi Building in his mind, An Jing turned his head and vanished into the snowstorm.

He whispered softly, "That about wraps up the reconnaissance."

"Let’s go back."

Though You Ruhui hesitated to speak, ultimately she was the one who sought this ally and could only swallow her doubts, silently following An Jing back to the teahouse.
