Chapter 702: 702 The Terrifying Aspect of the Heaven-reaching Tower! Returning to Shenzhou [Chapter 2]

She originally thought Ye Wanlan only rescued Dean Yuan from the International Strategic Studies Institute, never expecting Ye Wanlan to directly kill hundreds of guards of the Heaven-reaching Tower.

Christine’s heart was also pounding, unable to calm down.

This was outright provocation against the authority of the Heaven-reaching Tower!

[Cultured Person]: ???

[Cultured Person]: Wait, I’m coming too.

[Shenzhou University Gate Security]: What are you joining in for?

[Cultured Person]: Look at you, if people don’t join in, are they still people?

Ling Yunzhan and Wen Chaosheng had already prepared an alibi for Yeh Xingli, ensuring he wouldn’t be implicated in this confrontation.

Not only was Christine shocked, but Dean Mans and Dean Nero, who rushed to the scene, were also incredibly incredulous.

Although these guards didn’t have high combat power, they were backed by the Heaven-reaching Tower.

Who dares to be so presumptuous?

"Dean, Dean!" The others panicked, "If over there at the Heaven-reaching Tower..."

Amidst the chaos, a slender figure appeared.

The newcomer was dressed in a plain-colored long robe, with golden hair cascading down, wearing a golden wreath on their head.

This outfit seemed completely out of place in this modern society of advanced technology.

Yet when seeing this person’s face, Dean Mans and Principal Nero’s expressions instantly changed.

"Such fierce methods." The person squatted down, reaching out to examine the wounds of the dead guards, "This person is adept in hand-to-hand combat and swordplay, it seems like the style from Shenzhou."

Upon hearing this, Yeh Xingli’s expression shifted as well.

"Truly tragic." The person murmured, tears welling in their eyes, "My friends, the Tower Master will pray for you, may you rest in peace."

Dean Mans stepped forward: "Lord Modi, why suddenly imprison Dean Yuan?"

"The Heaven-reaching Tower has discovered, Yuan Yiming is a spy sent by Shenzhou to the Global Center." Modi’s voice was calm and unhurried, "Over the years, he has done many things harmful to the Global Center."

"!"

With these words, everyone including Dean Mans showed a drastic change in expression.

If the label of a spy comes from the Heaven-reaching Tower, regardless of truth, no one can endure it.

"But considering he has real talent and knowledge, the Tower Master, being merciful, has allowed him to live until now." Modi continued, "Otherwise, he would have been in Hell well over a decade ago!"

Dean Mans and Principal Nero fell into endless silence.

As the heads of the International Strategic Studies Institute and Shenzhou University, they were naturally members of the Roundtable Conference.

Thus, only those present knew Modi’s true identity and position.

In mythological tales, the Heaven-reaching Tower is a high tower built by humans to reach the Divine World.

Though the real Heaven-reaching Tower is far from the mythical wonder, its implication is indeed the same.

Therefore, beneath the Tower Master, there are nine leaders.

These nine leaders are named after the nine great angels in mythological tales.

Modi from mythological tales is the fourth angel on God’s left side, governing "Emotion."

These nine are also the strongest combat force under the Tower Master.

Yet to this day, even members of the Roundtable Conference have never seen all nine appear at once.

The Tower Master has sent Modi in this case, evident of true anger over the matter.

"Lord Modi." Dean Mans sighed, "When Yuan was rescued, I was dealing with matters in N District, if you hadn’t found me, I wouldn’t have known about this at all."

Modi smiled faintly: "You have an alibi, of course, I know, what about Yuan Yiming’s student?"

Dean Mans’s heart tightened but still called out: "Xingli."

Yeh Xingli walked out with the help of an assistant: "When my teacher was captured and taken away, I knew nothing about it, at that time I was checking my health."

Modi said nothing, furrowing his brow as he listened to a guard’s whispered words: "An alibi as well?"

The guard nodded.

"Xingli solved the crisis in N District today." Dean Mans hurriedly said, "He only just found free time."

"Oh?" Modi raised his hand, "Words may be false, evidence may be false, but memories won’t deceive, I’ll see and know."

"Lord Modi!" Dean Mans spoke sternly, "Xingli’s importance, the Tower Master knows too, if you forcibly probe his memory, destroying a super-brain, the Global Center will stagnate, what then?!"

Yeh Xingli’s heart raced furiously.

This Modi, could actually forcibly probe his memory?

"Forget it." Modi lowered his hand again, "The Tower Master is merciful, unwilling to see the Global Center losing a great general, since Yuan Yiming is already gone, his work will now entirely be up to you to inherit."

Yeh Xingli forcibly suppressed sorrow and anger, not letting Modi notice anything unusual.

"I still need to return to report to the Tower Master." Modi smiled faintly, "I hope next time, such an incident won’t happen again."

Dean Mans breathed a sigh of relief: "Certainly."

"After all, this time it was just me." Modi said nonchalantly, "If next time it’s Ouya or Scales who comes, it won’t be as easy."

Ouya, Outyua, the ninth angel on the left, commands Power!

Scales, full name Kidd Scales, the third angel on the left, governs Suffering!

Though these nine leaders certainly aren’t the angels from myths, Dean Mans knew, they all possess abilities beyond ordinary people.

In front of them, all beings are like ants.

Dean Mans took a deep breath: "We bid farewell to Lord Modi."

This calamity thus came to an end, but the Heaven-reaching Tower evidently hadn’t given up, sending another team to thoroughly explore the scene, wanting to know who could be so bold.

Outside, Yeh Xingli breathed in fresh air, gasping heavily: "Who... was he? I’ve never seen him before."

Ling Yunzhan’s expression was grave: "I don’t know, but from Principal Nero’s expression, he certainly is an important figure of the Heaven-reaching Tower."

"Scared the hell out of me." Wen Chaosheng patted his chest, with lingering fear, "At that time I was wondering, could the three of us hold him off."

"Sister YN said, when there’s a chance to fight, you must fight." Yeh Xingli’s eyes gradually turned cold, "Then in the future, such a day will definitely come."

Ling Yunzhan raised an eyebrow, tapping quickly on his phone.

[Shenzhou University Gate Security]: Crisis lifted.

[Cultured Person]: What? I just arrived!

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Be grateful you just arrived, otherwise you would’ve been dead.

[Crazy Scientist]: A person named Modi appeared, calling him a person for now, I can only describe him as terrifying.

[Cultured Person]: Who is this?

In the entire group, only Christine knew Modi’s identity.

On the plane, as the operating room door opened, Ye Wanlan walked out.

She saw Christine looking a bit lost and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Modi actually appeared." Christine’s expression was somewhat anxious, she spoke in a low tone, "Looks like the Tower Master truly wants Old Yuan dead."

Ye Wanlan wiped clean the blood on her hands: "Modi? An angel’s name?"

"One of the nine leaders under the Tower Master of the Heaven-reaching Tower." Christine said, "His abilities seem somewhat similar to the legendary angels."

"Then it seems, these nine leaders each possess abilities akin to mythological angels." Ye Wanlan’s gaze deepened, "The enemy is more troublesome than I imagined."

But, she also had people.

She knew, she was never fighting alone, she had a mighty army.

Christine asked: "Old Yuan is okay now?"

"Yes, he’s out of life-threatening danger but still asleep." Ye Wanlan said, "I just contacted the Yunjing Research Institute, needed them to pick him up."

"Good." Christine nodded, smiling, "Old Yuan has always wanted to return to Shenzhou, you’ve fulfilled his dream, it’s just... the Yunjing Research Institute will be terrified by you."

The key figure of the International Strategic Studies Institute, was thus brought by Ye Wanlan to Shenzhou?
