True Solution of the Sword Dao
Chapter 307 - 291 Approaching 1

Chapter 307: Chapter 291 Approaching 1

Somewhat inexplicably, Lin Fei suddenly remembered the first time he had practiced cultivation. He had been equally reckless back then.

He stood up and walked to the curtains behind him, a ray of light shining on him through the gap in the drawn curtains.

A sudden wave of annoyance surged in his heart. His reflection in the window was as calm as ever.

"I used to have to consider the influence of others, but now..."

"Kill them all."

He slightly turned his body, his eyes swirling with a faint blue luminescence.

Whoosh!

A figure clad in white suddenly appeared by his side. Xu Ruoruo’s expression was cold as she slowly drew her sword.

***************

Click.

The door to the president’s office slowly opened.

One body after another was quickly carried out. A strong scent of blood emanated from the room.

Lu Qianqian followed behind her father, slowly walking out of the president’s office, her face pale.

"Although they..."

"Qianqian!" Lu Jun interrupted his daughter, "They died performing their duties."

An Ying and Yu Fei, who stepped out alongside them, also nodded slightly. They were still alright, having known earlier that Lin Fei’s intent to kill was too strong.

"Now is a critical period, the internal integration must be complete. The president’s decision was very decisive," An Ying stated calmly, though there was also a deep sense of awe for Lin Fei in her tone.

"Chen Shizhong and others repeatedly violated our internal regulations, usurped others’ properties, engaged in private fights after joining, causing numerous severe injuries and disabilities, and showed extreme disrespect to the acting president. They deserved their fate," Yue Sa said with sarcasm as he walked out. "What Shueisha does not lack now is people. There are many waiting for their chance to rise."

An Ying, Yu Fei, and others knew that Yue Sa was in charge of the allocation and management of new members, and his words indicated the situation was indeed so.

As the domestic situation became increasingly tense, society also began to slowly destabilize with an increase in murders and robberies.

Correspondingly, more and more people started to notice Shueisha.

*************************

Lin Fei sat quietly in the leather chair.

"Ruoruo, your swordsmanship is becoming purer," he said.

Xu Ruoruo stood quietly by his side, silent. From the moment Lin Fei returned to the city, she could feel his presence, which showed that the True Force seed had integrated deeply.

When Lu Jun was driving here, she was already on her way to this place as well.

"After clearing out this batch of people, there might be a few who slip through the net, but most of the power should be able to be reclaimed. Perhaps from now on, every local Shueisha will become semi-independent. What we need to do next is to stabilize the situation in Ping City."

The floor inside the room still had speckles of blood scattered about. The air was still permeated with a thick scent of blood.

"Only when the overall situation has stabilized, we have the right to discuss other issues. All disruptive elements must be completely controlled," Lin Fei said indifferently. "Those who violate the rules of our organization and severely disrupt the normal order of life, you will handle the clean-up. No matter whose connections they have! Regardless of their position. I’ll inform the local government to cooperate with your actions."

"Yes," Xu Ruoruo replied coldly.

Lin Fei picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the local committee.

*************************

Merrill attentively held a test tube, closely examining the green liquid inside. The thick green liquid inside the tube bubbled like boiling, much like a potion a wizard might brew in legends.

"What’s this?"

Lin You asked curiously while holding Feil.

"I developed a new type of juice, want to try?" Merrill answered casually.

"You’re fooling a kid," Lin You said dubiously.

"I am fooling you, yeah. It is indeed juice, though it’s for a special purpose," Merrill carefully placed the test tube into a machine that looked like a microwave, then pressed a few buttons before starting to furiously type on a nearby computer.

"It’s a potion that can speed up the secretion of certain specific hormones in the body," Merrill explained casually. "By the way, Feil told me that you guys got a Phantom Spirit Stone? Is that true?"

Lin You blushed. "It’s true."

"Let me see? It might greatly help improve our strength," she proposed.

"Really?" Lin You was puzzled. "Isn’t it just a stone for swapping bodies? What help could it provide for strength?"

"That’s because of the nature of special abilities. To be more specific, a special ability is a kind of power spontaneously generated by the human body, based on the body itself. After the Phantom Spirit Stone switches bodies, the retained abilities are still the original ones, without much change. So, what if you now switch to a highly experienced master to control your body, using your Ice System ability?" Merrill explained.

"In that case, it should be easy to understand what a stronger version of myself would be like," Lin You’s eyes lit up, somewhat excited.

"That’s the greatest use of the Phantom Spirit Stone. But it’s only applicable to special abilities," Merrill shook her head slightly. "Don’t get too excited yet, there are still many issues to solve, such as the compatibility of the exchange subjects, the charging method of the Phantom Spirit Stone, the most efficient operation, etc."

"Oh..." Lin You nodded.

"Right, I heard from Feil that you guys did a body swap in the Capital City, didn’t you?" Merrill suddenly became interested.

"Yes... yes..." Lin You nodded hesitantly.

"Did you feel anything?"

Feil immediately chimed in, "Got a lot of money from her elder brother... the swap was extremely successful... hey, what are you doing?! "

Lin You covered Feil’s mouth with one hand, completely disregarding the fact that she wasn’t talking through her mouth.

"I’m leaving first, hehe... leaving first..." she slowly backed away, then turned and ran.

Merrill shook her head speechlessly.

She glanced at Cheng Guang and Chris nearby.

Cheng Guang was focused on tapping on the computer, but he seemed somewhat distracted, pondering something.

Chris held a silver exquisite dagger, continuously flipping it in his hand, apparently practicing close-range contact attacks.

"Now we have my Wood System, Lin You’s Ice System, which is also the Water System, and Chris’s Fire System. We’re only missing the Earth System and Metal System. Chris, how is the situation with the Earth System Contractor?"

Chris stopped flipping the dagger.

"It’s troublesome. He completely disdains mixing with us. The gap in strength is too large, and there’s no convincing reason."

"What about the Metal System?"

"Hasn’t shown up. It’s said to be in the United States." Cheng Guang returned to reality and chimed in.

***********************

By the time Lin Fei left the Rainbow Hotel, it was already evening.

Chen Chen drove to the hotel entrance to pick him up. He opened the car door and got in.

Lin Fei glanced at Chen Chen in the driver’s seat.

After acquiring the True Force seed, she seemed to become even more radiant and charming. Her body began to emit a faint aura, a presence naturally exuded by someone powerful. It could be said to be radiation naturally emitted from high-energy polymers. If Lin Fei now dropped her disguise, the natural aura she exuded could potentially radiate across an entire street block.

"So much time has passed, even Lu Jun has entered Level F, and I was still stagnating, never expected I’d see another day of improvement," Chen Chen said gratefully.

"Even though you have the power, your life and death are also under my control, don’t you regret it?" Lin Fei asked indifferently.

"I don’t mind, everything I have is given by you. Even without this restriction, it would be easy for you to take it back," Chen Chen chuckled.

Lin Fei nodded. "In a while, the surrounding districts will be incorporated into our sphere, and Yan Lin Group can also extend its reach to fully move in."

"Alright."

Lin Fei closed her eyes.

After stabilizing the situation around Shueisha, she had secured good protection for her family. In the upcoming turbulent times in Hua Nation, they could also be assured safety.

Next, she would head to Europe with Lin You and the others.

"As one of the Energy Scepter Contractors, Lin You was surrounded in the center by others in the previous life, certainly unlike ordinary Contractors," Lin Fei pondered. "Although the Energy Scepter is renowned in the Inner World, the collected information is surprisingly scant, indicating either its intrinsic mystery or that someone is deliberately blocking this information."

Since learning Lin You was an Energy Scepter Contractor, Lin Fei had started collecting data about it. Unfortunately, the information was scarce.

She only knew that the Energy Scepter belonged to the mythical World Keystone system, possessing strong mystical powers. The exact uses and the reason the Holy See got involved remained unanswered.

As for Lin You’s current strength, Lin Fei only had a rough idea. Their goal was completely unclear to him.

"The current problem is, we seriously lack sources of information," Lin Fei frowned slightly. For information on the Inner World, he mainly had three options: one was to directly go to the Pacific Ocean Trading Market, where specific organizations handle these matters. Second was choosing Mage’s Eye, as Mage’s Eye, being the biggest magician-oriented magazine, also had absolutely comprehensive and rich sources of information, but this could likely expose her own position. After all, Lin Fei’s impression of the magician side was always mysterious and their methods varied and numerous, often impossible to guard against fully.

Third was the lead from Sis, the Spider.

Lin Fei took out her phone, typed in a string of numbers, and directly sent a blank message.

Soon, a blank message came in response.

"Energy Scepter," Lin Fei encrypted a string of letters using a USB-password-like encryption and sent it over.

"Two days later, Biyun Tavern, Room 03. Someone will meet you," a line of letters came back.

Lin Fei closed her phone, deep in thought.

*****************

United Kingdom, London, outskirts

Inside a manor villa.

Bang!

The wooden door was directly shattered, turning into countless fragments scattered across the living room.

A pair of black boots slowly stepped into the living room.

This was a tall man with long hair, wearing a gray trench coat. The man wore sunglasses, with the coat buttoned up high around the neck, barely revealing any skin. He also wore a round black hat, dressed eccentrically like someone in disguise.

"Is this the place?" a pleasant female voice asked from behind the man.

"Yes. The information upstairs says this is his last hiding spot," the man replied in a robust voice, with an accent that didn’t sound like standard British but rather mixed with a lot of American English.

"If we can’t find it, it doesn’t matter, we’re just helping Aisaha with a small favor," a woman with silver hair walked into the living room, casually scanning the surroundings. "There’s truly no aura left, probably moved again. Let it go, we have our own missions, let’s leave," she said indifferently and turned to leave the living room.

The man nodded, quickly followed behind her, and left.

Some time later, perhaps because the nearby pedestrians reported to the police, the sound of sirens rapidly approached, a group of police officers came, and left empty-handed.

Sis’s personal profile was also directly entered into the missing persons list.

Deep underground within the manor, many meters deep in a hidden chamber,

Sis lay on a bed, his face pale, his entire aura completely retracted, as if he were dead, with a phone beside him, whose power had long been exhausted and had automatically powered off.(To be continued.
