Chapter 943: Chapter 178: Isn’t this kind of thing happening a bit too frequently?

Sky Star Fleet, Flagship Hegemony, Feheart rushed directly out of the officer quarters and headed for the bridge.

Upon reaching the bridge, his eyes immediately fell on the cylindrical object on the control panel. In front of the grand geometric figure, Feheart lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, something big has happened. There has been a dramatic change in the Six Dragons Sect."

Two drones equipped with cameras hovered before him. In this microgravity environment, drones were even more agile. King Aqini didn’t always rely on the eyes attached to his prosthetic body. He could commandeer any camera to serve as his vision. His senses gradually transcended the innate limitations of humans, yet he felt no discomfort.

King Aqini asked, "What happened?"

"I just received a broadcast, and the content is..."

"’All encrypted systems of the Six Dragons Sect before today are no longer secure, all departments must immediately abandon them’?" King Aqini asked.

Feheart lowered his head, "Exactly."

"This message appeared as a broadcast in the Pacific Ocean and then entered the internet, being forwarded multiple times and circulated in several communities." King Aqini said, "If this is all you can ascertain, then what is the effectiveness of your espionage?"

Feheart said, "The Pacific... No wonder..."

This sigh was, of course, an act.

In reality, Iron Heart Dharma King rushed to report because he knew King Aqini must have already monitored the dissemination of this information. "The human firewall" would never slack off in this regard.

At this time, Feheart had to report.

Even though Feheart himself did not know what had happened, but at this moment he had to make a show of concern...

—— Speaking of which, hasn’t this kind of situation happened several times over the past few years...

Feheart raised his head and said, "I can determine its origin. The message was sent by the One Layer Heaven Martial Artist ’Holy Lord’ of the Six Dragons Sect, hidden within Earth’s oceans. The fact that he chose to broadcast this signal indicates that the submarine he was on has likely been breached, and the data has been easily taken."

"Absurd." King Aqini said, "Taking part of the data can be explained by ’highly advanced Inner Strength’ of the enemy. But no matter how strong the Inner Strength, it can’t steal data from offline storage devices remotely."

Take a part of the data out separately and store it in a movable device. When it’s determined that the base has fallen, shooting the storage device once is enough to prevent information loss.

In this era, most groups can do this.

As long as they have a bit of security awareness, they’ll have this kind of precaution.

So, "losing a part of the secrets" is understandable. But "all encrypted systems are no longer safe"?

A large organization like Six Dragons Sect can have several independent encrypted systems simultaneously in preparation for communication and verification, and can also have alternative communication and verification methods ready.

In this era, this is the basis for an organization to exist secretly and operate in the shadows.

These should not be entirely taken away at once. It’s impossible no matter how one thinks of it.

Shooting, punching, or kicking the storage device is a very simple task.

Neither Hartman nor that guy Zhu Xinyu could have completed the seizure in a split second.

Of course, using Gu Poison to infiltrate bit by bit over a long period, waiting for the moment the offline storage device is inserted into a computer, that’s a different story.

But this sudden broadcast seems to belong to a "suddenly seized" situation.

Feheart lowered his head, thinking to himself "How would I know."

He said to King Aqini: "The Six Dragons Sect indeed has protocols for such situations. In the situation where ’all encrypted systems are stolen,’ the Six Dragons Sect has a plan for action. However, even within the Six Dragons Sect, they do not know under what circumstances such an event would occur. This is merely a precaution made out of the Sect Hierarch’s caution."

Even he himself was surprised when making this plan after hearing about this requirement. He didn’t know under what circumstance such a situation would appear.

But what he didn’t expect was, this kind of situation, indeed...

It really happened.

King Aqini said, "Rather than making such a plan, why not think about how to avoid such a foolish situation from happening."

Is the Six Dragons Council such a low-level organization? Can’t they even handle "document destruction" properly?

It shouldn’t be. If the Six Dragons Sect were truly that incompetent, they wouldn’t have been able to hide on Earth and Mars for so many years without too many people knowing about the organization’s existence.

Iron Heart Dharma King’s thoughts were racing. He desperately thought about how he should guide King Aqini’s thinking to minimize the loss suffered by the Six Dragons Sect? Should he say, "they are just this incompetent" to reduce the threat level of the Six Dragons Sect in King Aqini’s mind? This might not be a good idea. King Aqini would probably immediately retort, "If this organization is so incompetent, then why has your espionage gained so little..."

"Perhaps...those who took action against them are too terrifying?" Iron Heart Dharma King exhausted multiple possibilities before picking out a remotely feasible one and said: "Right now, there is indeed the Twelfth Martial God on Earth. The Martial God is a peculiar cultural phenomenon of humanity, a kind of miracle. In the face of the Martial God, anything is possible."

Of course, Iron Heart Dharma King himself did not believe this explanation one bit.

Due to his extremely perilous position, the Holy Lord would never make contact here. To exchange information, they would use incredibly cumbersome methods to indirectly communicate. Therefore, Iron Heart Dharma King had no idea about what was happening on the Nautilus.

However, he knew who the Holy Lord was. He was a core member personally recruited by the Sect Hierarch, familiar with the Holy Lord’s background. The Holy Lord was the least likely individual to be swayed by the Martial God’s repute.

The Holy Lord himself was like Xiang Shan. The numerous halos that human civilization cast upon Xiang Shan did not exist for the Holy Lord.

Besides, the Holy Lord knows of the Martial God, while the Martial God does not know of the Holy Lord. Even if the Holy Lord were just an AI brain, given the huge information gap and calculated with intent against those unguarded, the Martial God could never win an encounter battle against the Holy Lord.

But, pleasantries still need to be spoken.

"The martial artist codenamed ’Holy Lord’ possesses an underwater specialized First Layer Heaven Cyborg. Logically, it would be impossible for anyone to defeat it underwater. Anyone capable of such a feat might only be the Martial God."

"Encountering the Martial God, perhaps such bizarre achievements aren’t so bizarre after all."

Of course, even this is impossible.

The Holy Lord himself is just a Pseudo-personality Mask of Xiang Shan, and within the range of "limited to one set of martial arts," he is close to the Martial God level.

King Aqini pondered: "Indeed... an individual suspected of being Xiang Shan did appear not far from here not long ago..."

"Ah?"
