All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes
Chapter 728 - 92: Sky Surveillance Bureau Lockdown

Chapter 728: Chapter 92: Sky Surveillance Bureau Lockdown

Crushing Luo Nu’s skull, the Tai Shi Yuan Evil surged, sweeping over his artificial body, eradicating his soul and all possible contingency measures thoroughly, corroding them into dust and smoke.

Having done all this, An Jing stood in a sea of blood, his eyes closed in deep thought.

It has to be said that these elite Magic Guards were indeed much more challenging to deal with than gang members. At least An Jing had to fight a bit more seriously using tactics, rather than just steamroll them as before with his attributes panel.

Compared to that, the combat power of equivalent ranks in the Huai Xu Realm was indeed higher than that of the Tianyuan Realm. After all, every Martial Artist there possessed innate Special Abilities from their Destiny, which, coupled with their Cultivation Techniques, provided a considerable advantage as swift as a tiger. However, Tianyuan Realm’s Magic Artifacts and equipment were better than those in the Huai Xu Realm.

But what he was pondering over was not these matters, but the words Luo Nu uttered before his death.

"Young master?"

He murmured softly, "Is the Sky Surveillance Bureau going to send someone?"

"Could it be that this old thing didn’t come alone?"

This wouldn’t do at all. Even if he couldn’t kill the entire families of those corporate dogs now, he definitely couldn’t let the eyewitnesses of this affair live to return and leave behind any flaws!

"Time is up, An Jing!"

At this moment, having finished packing up, Huo Qing and Nian Quan walked briskly out of the treasure room. They had thought about helping An Jing earlier but midway, after surveying the situation, Huo Qing felt that An Jing could easily handle them all without their help – there was no need to gild the lily – meanwhile, Nian Quan had already sheathed his sword and continued organizing the spoils of war.

Huo Qing reminded, "The Sky Surveillance Bureau’s response time is at most two quarters of an hour. Even if they don’t want to come to a gang fight, if someone around reports an emergency, they must come."

"With the noise we made while fighting, the nearby Sky Watchers should have already arrived, it is just uncertain whether any Fengdu Guards would take action— elite Fengdu Guards are all at the Foundation Establishment level, not as easy to handle as company mercenaries."

"Indeed, we should leave." Snapping back to reality, An Jing also nodded slightly: "Blow this place up first, destroy the evidence. Although we haven’t left any evidence, we should blow it up anyway."

"Yeah, let’s blow it up." Huo Qing, still physically strong, bore a white cat on his shoulder and carried a girl’s body in a cultivation pod on his back, while Nian Quan conveniently picked up all the weapons from the Magic Guards: "As expected, all from Saint Wisdom Medical, their weapons are marked, blatantly obvious."

"They are the true masters of Xuanye City. What need is there for the master to hide anything in their own home?"

Huo Qing shook his head: "But it’s also because the master was too confident at home and didn’t call security, otherwise we might have been caught in a mix-up by the Sky Surveillance Bureau..." "Huh?"

The one who interrupted with surprise was Nian Quan. He searched Luo Nu’s body and found quite a few Divine Soul Chips in his possession, exclaiming unexpectedly, "This man doesn’t have any Great Void Magical Instruments, nor any other valuables— why does he have so many Divine Soul Chips?"

"Let me see."

An Jing was also curious. Taking a look, he too was puzzled: "Most of the chips have been damaged by my just now use of the Tai Shi Yuan Evil... Strange, what were they carrying this for?"

"Take them back for a look; Iron Hand and the others might know." After all, lacking in some experience, Huo Qing couldn’t recognize them either. After confirming that these chips didn’t contain any tracking poisonous insects or Art of Magic, An Jing collected them: "Ready to head out."

Once prepared, the three of them left the underground base that had turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Subsequently, a massive explosion occurred, as the landmark manor began to collapse, swirling downwards like a vortex, consuming the woods, buildings, and corpses altogether.

The Night Niche Gang had become history.

But everything was far from over.

A while ago, on the surface.

"This is bad, bad, bad... Elder Luo couldn’t have encountered an accident, could he?!"

The ’young master’ who had come with Luo Nu was now pale as a ghost. Canhe True Lord’s seventeenth descendant Chen Yueguan had lost all his earlier arrogance, calling out for Luo Nu with no response whatsoever.

That An Xuan... is he really that strong?

Chen Yueguan in fact hadn’t witnessed An Jing fighting. He had only been able to see Huo Qing and Nian Quan’s actions through the surveillance cameras of the Night Niche Gang—indeed, their skills were appreciable, even formidable within those of the Cave Heaven Bloodline. But wasn’t An Xuan merely at the Body Cultivation level of Foundation Establishment? Could he really have killed the boss of the Night Niche Gang, along with Elder Luo and so many Magic Guards?

He did not know the answer, yet his heart continued to sink.

Indeed, he was a progeny of a True Lord, and the Canhe True Lord’s bloodline was not thriving. By the time it had reached his generation, there were only three branches left, and his being the seventeenth descendant carried substantial significance—however, the True Lord himself needed to preside over the Great Void Heavenly Ship to inspect the Void Net Path and was in the Tianyuan Realm. The only representatives there were his great-grandfather and his second uncle, both Purple Mansion True Men; they were the only influential figures in his family.

Luo Nu was the deputy to the True Men. Though he was said to be a steward, his authority was considerable. Even the older generation sometimes had to address him as Mr. Luo, which meant a lot more than these younger members. This time he had brought Chen Yueguan over, partly to conduct some affairs and observe the process of negotiating partnerships with lower-level forces, and also to let those below know who the new generation of the Canhe lineage was, to prevent accidental offenses.

But who could have imagined, that Elder Luo, veteran of countless battles, would encounter mishap, and a significant portion of the privately armed forces of Saint Wisdom Medical, which they controlled, would be wiped out!

At this moment, Chen Yueguan was on the verge of utter despair. It was nothing for private soldiers to die; he could bear that. But if Elder Luo died, his great-uncle would definitely slap him and lock him up in the family’s private prison for a good few months!

To those True People and True Lords, bloodline is important, but its importance lies solely in its ’existence.’ Distanced too far, there are no personal emotions involved. Instead, it is the students, disciples, and apprentices that share common thoughts, the same ideology, and concept of the Great Dao who are held closer.

In Cave Heaven, the Great Dao and Divine Skills mastered by the mentoring lineages run deeper than those by bloodline lineages. However, family bloodlines are ultimately more stable and possess the majority of resources.

In Xuanye City, a useful second-in-command is definitely more important than a not-so-close grandson. Chen Yueguan dares to say, if Elder Luo really died, his life would be over.

As Chen Yueguan’s panic grew, with one flying shuttle after another arriving, a large contingent of the Sky Surveillance Bureau’s Magic Guards descended.

"May I ask if you are Mr. Chen Yueguan?"

The leading Magic Guard approached Chen Yueguan and politely inquired, "You reported an attack by unidentified armed persons in this location. Where are the assailants now?"

"Underground!"

Seeing people from the Sky Surveillance Bureau arrive and having someone to back him up, Chen Yueguan immediately felt invigorated—He understood that if he could capture the person who killed Elder Luo with the assistance of the Bureau, there might still be a chance for him to turn things around.

The Sky Surveillance Bureau Magic Guard looked towards the distant estate, keenly aware that this place belonged to the Night Niche Gang, and was also aware that the young Chen Family member before him likely encountered a gang assault while discussing cooperation with elders from his family and the Night Niche Gang—A troublesome matter, but still one that must be addressed: "Understood."

He raised his hand, signaling several Magic Guards to deploy drones to investigate the situation in the underground base.

But at that moment, suddenly, a massive explosion and tremor occurred, causing the surrounding ground to violently shake.

Then, the whole estate, along with the surrounding woods, collapsed, swallowing a large area of land.

"Elder Luo!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Yueguan became desperate, crying out uncontrollably, but nearby, a Magic Guard of the Sky Surveillance Bureau, who had just received a report from his subordinates, had an immediately grave expression.

—Numerous corpses were found around, all belonging to Night Niche Gang members?

—Near the entrance, there were traces of a battle involving Foundation Establishment level powers?

—And now this scene... Night Niche Gang is gone?

Who could it be? Which power is so formidable that they annihilated the Night Niche Gang in one night?!

His doubts were answered.

For in the dust raised by the collapse of the underground base, three shadowy figures emerged.

—Danger!

The captain of the Magic Guards focused intently on the three shadowy figures emerging from the collapsed dust in the estate, sensing something was wrong, and shouted loudly, "Drop your weapons!"

Through the chip, he sent an order to prepare to fire to all those present and then repeated, "Whoever you are, drop your weapons and surrender immediately, submit to inspection by the Sky Surveillance Bureau!"

This was the scene An Jing and others saw as they left the underground base.

A long cordon had already been set up, centered around the estate woodland that was formerly the Night Niche Gang’s territory, with space shuttles projecting spotlights from above. Over fifty Magic Guards from the Sky Surveillance Bureau were converging, with even more arriving.

They were equipped with Magic Artifact shields and full body magic armor, armed with both firearms and sword boxes, including Spirit Light Guns, an arsenal sufficient for a small-scale war, blockading all exit lines from the underground base.

And twenty armored vehicles, like fortresses, barricaded the roads and pathways outright, and even on the other side of the woods leading into the wilderness, space shuttles were rapidly approaching.

"Drop your weapons and surrender immediately."

The voice of the leading captain still echoed around the estate: "Whoever you are, you are surrounded. If you still resist stubbornly, we are within our rights to kill you on the spot."

It was all noise.

An Jing, who had donned a mask, never bothered to listen to such things which no one would ever do. His gaze swept the scene, and in an instant, he located the young cultivator who was excitedly pointing in his direction, standing beside the Magic Guard captain.

—Is it him?
