Chapter 623: Destruction!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Of course, in the ballroom, the princess' area was not the only place that had some activity. Other places had some activities as well. Ling Lan was certain that these activities were the other three battle teams using this opportunity to clean out the people they had confirmed to be a threat…

However, this had nothing to do with Ling Lan's group. They were the most common out of all commoners in this incident. However, the three ladies who were a problem were not affected by this incident. It seemed that the behavior of these women and the threat they imposed did not warrant the other battle teams to consider them as actual threats.

Not long after, Feiyang's guards got to the fourth floor because the control of the ship was taken back by Yun Feiyang's uncle-in-law. The guards quickly took control of the situation. Although the second floor had taken some damage, it did not damage the ship too much as it was very sturdy.

Inside the captain's quarters, the leader of hijackers saw his confidant who was on the screen disappeared. He sighed as he put his hands up to show that he was surrendering. He said to the captain, "You win. I didn't think you actually had an imperial level hacker here."

The captain looked at the leader of the hijacker with an expression of disbelief. His expression didn't brighten up but instead became gloomier.

"Looks like he isn't one yours." The leader of the hijackers saw through the captain. He laughed bitterly, "You're so lucky."

"I'm almost always lucky, but I never depend on luck." The captain responded calmly.

The leader of the hijackers' expression changed. His originally calm mood changed slightly, "You… were actually faking it just now?"

At that moment, a person appeared on the big screen. He was the operations manager of Feiyang, "I thank the Yun family's help in this matter. The control of Feiyang has been recovered back. We will immediately clean out the rest of Yagulin's forces. Everyone please cooperate with us and temporarily stay on the fourth floor to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

"I didn't think that Feiyang would actually have an imperial hacker on the ship." The leader of the hijackers saw the person on the screen and realized that he had probably fallen into a trap.

"Actually, your trump card was always under our control. It was just that we needed a chaotic environment, so we just played along." The captain revealed the truth.

"No wonder that we were so lucky that we would be able to hear your staff members talk to each other about how you have proof that I sacrificed 400 soldiers to save my own skin. You forced me to make a move for my freedom." Yagulin's forces' leader finally understood why there were only two people guarding them. Even when one had left, there wasn't a new staff member that replaced him. In the beginning, he thought this was a cruise ship where all of its safety procedures were incomparable with warships. Now that he thought about it, it was only the captain making it easy for him and his people which gave them the courage to cause a scene.

Yagulin's forces' leader sneered and laughed. In order to survive, he sacrificed 400 soldiers in cold blood. The captain and his crew however did not hesitate to sacrifice their own staff members to create chaos. They didn't even care about the passengers' safety. In reality, these people were just as cold-blooded as him.

"I didn't think that you would actually be willing to sacrifice two of your staff members and the safety of the passengers…" Yagulin's forces' leader said mockingly. If the captain had turned a blind eye, then he didn't have to walk down this path of no return.

"Sacrifice?" The captain laughed. "Those two are at the peak of Qi-Jin aren't people that your little confidant, who has only just reached Qi-Jin, could kill."

Since he was certain the enemy was up to no good, why would the captain let his own soldiers to give up their own lives? The two people who were responsible for watching Yagulin's forces seemed very easily dismissed, but in reality, they were the strongest physical skills instructors on Feiyang. They were experts in assassinations and also knew how to pretend to be dead. If their enemies weren't Domain level experts, once these two had their guard up, even experts of similar level wouldn't be able to kill these two in one hit.

The captain's words finally made the leader's expression changed from his originally calm expression. He didn't think that his plan this time made him a chess piece to be used in someone else's plan and at the same time completing his enemy's plan perfectly. In reality, it was someone else's plan altogether and he himself just performed very poorly.

"You're more ruthless than me. In order to create chaos, you actually let us set such a terrifying explosive like TNT. I really do regret it. If we really could blow up a few people, I would really want to see your face after the fact." Yagulin's leader bit his lip and said.

The captain heard this and raised his eyebrows, "Do I need to change the expression on my face? Isn't this incident created by you? We just need you to be responsible." The captain said with confidence. He would just use Yagulin's forces as a shield without suffering any repercussions.

The leader from Yagulin finally couldn't control his anger. He howled and pounced towards the captain who was just a few feet away from him. He didn't lose yet. As long as he took down the captain, he still had a chance.

"Bam!" the leader from Yagulin was struck down hard onto the ground.

"I said it before. You never had any chance," said the captain while looking down at him in disdain.

"Domain! Who the hell are you?" The leader from Yagulin discovered that his peak level of Qi-Jin was actually not comparable to the captain. Only Domain experts could counter his attack. Why would an average cruise ship have a captain of this level? This didn't make any sense.

At that moment, the captain's door was finally opened. The guards who were blocked off outside rushed in.

Seeing this, the energy in the captain's hand exploded and instantly wounded his now fainted opponent. Then he stood up and said, "Take him to the heavy surveillance and guard room."

"Yes captain!" The team of guards quickly took away the leader from Yagulin.

The captain sat back into his seat and connected to the operations manager, "Is the situation under control?"

"Yes, with the Yun family lending a helping hand, we were given a chance to ambush them and was able to take them down in an instant." The operations manager had an expression of worry, "Who knew that Ai'er Beili was an imperial level hacker and didn't give us any chance to make a move." This was also why the staff members had missed the TNT explosives and let the enemy successfully detonate the explosive. Although the captain was very calm and collected when he spoke with the leader from Yagulin, in reality, he knew that for some time the situation was out of their control. It was just that he couldn't let the enemy know the truth in case it weakened their own morale.

"What's the situation with the princess?" asked the captain.

"The people from the Yun family performed well and possibly drew the princess's attention…" said the operation manager with a serious expression.

"What about the four star battle teams from each division? Don't tell me they didn't use this opportunity to make a move." The captain asked again.

"They made a move and used the opportunity to capture a few suspicious individuals. They definitely did clear out a whole group. I think Feiyang will be quiet for a while…" replied the operations manager as he smiled.

"Guess they're not stupid." The captain snorted coldly.

"You're still mad that the mission for protecting the princess was taken by other divisions?" The operations manager knew the grudge the captain was holding.

"The Federation clearly knew that we were able to do it, but the commander still wanted to find six four star battle teams… In the end, it was still our plan that gave them the courage to clear out those suspicious individuals. Isn't it shameful for the four star battle teams?" The captain was very wicked.

The operations manager decisively stopped speaking about this topic. His captain had resentment towards the four star battle teams. After all, his battle team had been stuck at three stars for a whole decade and still didn't have any hopes of advancing. This made the captain lost hope in them and was even green with envy towards four star battle teams. The only thing the captain didn't do yet was to fight these battle teams to vent out his anger and frustration.

After 10 hours, Feiyang's side and Yagulin's side finally met up. They handed over Yagulin's survivors and terrorists to Yagulin. Feiyang's side also told Yagulin the real information they had discovered about the Yagulin's warship along with the terrorism and hijacking committed by the survivors of Yagulin's warship. Yagulin's side was very apologetic about these series of events and promised that they will give Feiyang a satisfactory answer to the incident…

Of course, everyone knew this was all just diplomacy. After all, Feiyang wasn't Yagulin's cruise ship. Yagulin didn't have the responsibility to protect Feiyang.

Feiyang continued to fly. After clearing out a group of suspicious individuals, the people who had malicious ideas towards the princess obviously lessened by a lot. This also made the five battle teams around the princess breathe a sigh of relief. They now began to watch Yun Feiyang trying to woo the princess everyday. This scene added some delight to their long and arduous journey.

One day, Yun Feiyang came to the princess' quarters. He carefully examined his attire and posture then pressed the doorbell.

In an instant the door was opened. It was one of the servants. His bulky and manly face showed a hint of impatience. If he didn't have a cleaning tool in his hands, people would definitely mistaken him for a guard and not a janitor.

"You again?" The servant looked at Yun Feiyang's scrawny and weak body in disdain and didn't welcome him. In the servant's eyes, the princess must marry someone strong. Yun Feiyang wasn't even qualified.

Yun Feiyang was very patient. Even if the servant didn't welcome him, he still had a smile on his face and asked, "Is the princess here?"

Before the servant could answer, a pompous voice rang, "Hey, it's the idiot who doesn't know his place and trying for someone way out of his league."

The servant didn't welcome Yun Feiyang from coming to look for the princess initially. Now that he saw someone else had come, he crossed his arms and watched the two of them coldly.

Yun Feiyang heard this voice and couldn't help but shout, "Sh*t, this guy again."

The person who spoke was called Ma Rao. He was a rich descendant with a decent background. His father was in the intergalactic reselling business and had some connections. However compared to elite families like Yun Feiyang's family, it wasn't even worth mentioning. He and Ma Rao didn't have any grudges against each other. It was just yesterday in the ballroom, no one was sure whether it was Yun Feiyang or Ma Rao who had bad luck. When Yun Feiyang walked past Ma Rao, he suddenly twisted his ankle and fell onto Yun Feiyang's back.

It was obvious that Ma Rao wasn't prepared for a situation like this. When Yun Feiyang bumped into him, Ma Rao fell face first onto the ground. When he raised his head, his nose was gushing out blood. He also had some tears run down his face from the pain. Compared to his cocky expression from before, that pitiful look made everyone in the ballroom laughed out loud. He hated Yun Feiyang from then onwards since he made a fool of himself in front of everyone.

Afterwards, as long as the two of them met up with each other, Ma Rao would mock him. Then, after Ma Rao discovered that Yun Feiyang wanted to ask the princess out on a date, Ma Rao would try to do everything he can to stop Yun Feiyang.

Yun Feiyang sighed. He turned around and said, "Ma Rao, what do you want?"

Ma Rao raised his head and said with pride, "Nothing. I just don't like perverts like you."

Yun Feiyang was very angry. He had already apologized. When would this Ma Rao be satisfied and not watch him so closely? Yun Feiyang knew that the princess was a chance for a different life for him. If he actually returned with this beauty, not only would the Yun family be under his control, in the future, whether military or politics, all would go smoothly for him. As long as Balaya remained as Huaxia Federation's ally, no one would dare to make it difficult for him, the son-in-law of Balaya.

Additionally, the princess was very beautiful and indeed made him feel like he was in love. However, he was only in love with what the princess could give him. Any man with a little bit of ambition wouldn't be able to refuse such temptations.

Ma Rao was without a doubt someone who was unreasonable. Yun Feiyang didn't want to speak to Ma Rao in front of the princess. He could only turn and leave. He was prepared to go back to his uncle-in-law and discuss how to take out this irritating Young Master Ma…

Seeing Yun Feiyang leave helplessly, Ma Rao lifted his head up high and snorted coldly. He looked towards the servant at the door. Their eyes met, but only for a moment. The servant then closed the door silently. To him, Ma Rao was a stranger. As the princess' servant, Ma Rao didn't have the status for him to give Ma Rao any good expressions.

Ma Rao's mood instantly brightened up after he disrupted Yun Feiyang's plan. He whistled as he slowly walked back to his own room.

Since an explosion occurred on the second floor, Young Master Ma Rao completely rejected the idea of staying on the second floor where he deemed to be very unsafe. His five followers helplessly agreed to upgrade with Ma Rao to live on the third floor. That was why Ma Rao could discover Yun Feiyang's plan so quickly and take his revenge.

Ma Rao and Yun Feiyang's quarrel was pretty much known to everyone living on the third floor. After all, the face plant and bloody nose on the fourth floor was a huge scene. Almost every passenger knew that two of them had become enemies after that incident.

People were very enthusiastic regarding the quarrel between these two. The people wanted to know who would win this battle of wits… Intergalactic travel was too boring, so the passengers couldn't help but find interesting things to pass the time.

Right after Li Yingjie went back to his own room and closed the door, his arrogant and pompous behavior instantly changed, "Boss, can I not do this anymore?"

Li Yingjie was certain that the incident with him falling face first onto the ground was created by the Boss. Otherwise, how could he not be able to dodge Yun Feiyang? It was clear that he could easily dodge Yun Feiyang, but yet at the most crucial moment, Li Yingjie suddenly had no energy and was knocked away flying by Yun Feiyang and landed hard on his face… Oh my god! His image as a descendant of the Li family was ruined.

When Li Yingjie thought about it, he would uncontrollably have tears build up in his eyes. However, he didn't dare to disagree with his scary Boss and could only do what he was told to do.

Ling Lan was looking through the data of Yun family. When she heard Li Yingjie's words, she didn't even raise her head and replied, "No!"

Seeing Li Yingjie's depressed expression, Li Lanfeng smiled and comforted, "The six of us can stop him from getting close to the princess. And the only person who would not cause any suspicion to arise is you. Your performance just now was perfect. Keep up the good work."

Since they sent him to do the job, they also needed to praise him… and Li Yingjie was someone who liked hearing praises the most. Li Lanfeng would of course do something that Li Yingjie liked and then have Li Yingjie continue to work under Ling Lan.

Li Yingjie's thoughts were very simple. Although Li Lanfeng hadn't known him for a very long time and was able to grasp what Li Yingjie liked and didn't like by 70% to 80%…

Even though Li Yingjie behaved as though he didn't care about Li Lanfeng's praises, the smile that was becoming larger and larger clearly showed the level of joy he felt.

Li Yingjie looked at Ling Lan. Li Lanfeng's compliment meant nothing. Boss Lan's praise was more important…

Ling Lan felt Li Yingjie's burning desire and looked up…

Ugh, this expression of looking for comfort and praise made Ling Lan's lips twitch. Li Yingjie, what happened to your cockiness and pride?

"Of course!" Ling Lan finally gave in to Li Yingjie's puppy eyes that asking for affection and spoke these words. Then Ling Lan saw a long tail come out from behind Li Yingjie and it began to wag crazily…

It was possible that she had read too much of the information Little Four had provided to her. Her eyes were becoming blurry! Ling Lan calmly stopped reading and gave herself a reason for doing so.

After flying for two days, Feiyang finally left Yagulin and arrived at a somewhat more peaceful country — Odin Country.

In Odin Country, Feiyang will be stopping in Planet Kachi. The scenery on Planet Kachi was very nice and was a first-class planet for humans. However, these weren't the reasons why Planet Kachi was known throughout the galaxies. The only reason Planet Kachi was very well known among the world of the humans was because it had one of the four natural phenomenons. A planet with rainbow rain.

Anyone who wanted to see the rainbow rain would have to travel to Planet Kachi to see it. Compared to other natural phenomenons that can be seen on multiple planets, the rainbow rain was one of a kind and was something humans pursued. During the times of the year when the rainbow rain was abundant, Planet Kachi would have thousands of tourists visit. And the only reason Feiyang Ship came to Planet Kachi was to let the passengers see the amazing rainbow rain.

Princess Gulibaduo was also very interested in the rainbow rain she had yet to have a chance to see. Even if she knew that going outside would be very dangerous, it still wouldn't stop her from have such thoughts. Thus all the battle teams began to move about to make sure of the princess's safety in the time that they stop at Planet Kachi.

Compared to the other three battle teams who needed to find reasons to go outside, Ling Lan's didn't have such difficulties. After all they were tourists who traveled this far for the first time and would of course not miss out on a tour scenery like the rainbow rain.

At dawn, Ling Lan's group stood back to back and met up with the rest of the tour group from Shunfeng Tour group. However after arriving at Planet Kachi, the six of them requested for free time. Tour guide Zhou repeatedly reminded them about the time they were gathering. After Ling Lan's group nodded and promised their return, the six of them finally left the large group…

The six of them quickly arrived to the lookout point the princess had booked beforehand. The lookout point was actually a penthouse garden in a five-storey building. The princess could sit in the garden. Most importantly, she would not be bothered by anyone and could fully enjoy the beauty of the rainbow rain.

Of course Ling Lan's group was not as lucky as the princess. The place Ling Lan and the others had booked was south of the princess' penthouse by one kilometer, a six-storey building. The penthouse didn't have a luxurious garden but only a flat concrete roof. After they reach the top, they would have to check and guard this direction in order to make sure there weren't any threat to the princess while they watch the rainbow rain.

The other three battle teams were responsible for the other three directions. Their distance from the princess was around the same as Ling Lan's group. They were all in buildings that were as tall or a bit taller than the one the princess had booked.

Chapter 624: An Attack!

The lookout point wasn't very high, the scenery wasn't the most beautiful and the view wasn't the best. However, for the princess' protection, Mu Youyun in the end chose a lower storey building to make it more convenient for him and the other 4 battle teams to hide around the location. The natural beauty of nature was indeed necessary to watch, but safety was also a factor that needed to be taken into consideration.

Qi Long and the others were like tourists, walking around here and there as if they didn't know where they were going.

When they arrived to the location Little Four had chosen for them, Ling Lan discovered that it was actually a half-abandoned factory. The new factory was moved to another location. The old location became a temporary warehouse and only had an old security guard at the front…

Ling Lan observed it for a while. The buildings around here were old and short. This location was where a city was located a few centuries ago. There weren't many people living in the area and it can even be said that it was somewhat desolate. It wasn't even comparable to the sight they encountered on the way to this location where there were skyscrapers in the new city. That location was full of life with roads that were filled with people.

This old area was about to be demolished and rebuilt. Many inhabitants had already moved into the new city. The ones who remained were seniors who couldn't leave their homes in such a short period of time. This was one of the reasons why the old area seemed like a desolate wasteland.

However, the lack of people had its advantages. If there were actually people preparing to attack the princess, they wouldn't have crowds of people to hide in. If these people made a move, they would be immediately be discovered.

After confirming that this half-abandoned factory didn't have any surveillance cameras, Ling Lan led her teammates past the sight of the old guard and darted into the factory. Afterwards, they chose the tallest office building within the factory and climbed up to the roof.

There was a terrace on the roof. They then opened up their backpacks to take out some pipe-like materials. After some clanking and clunking sounds, the six of them were finished assembling their own firearms.

Ling Lan put together a long range sniper rifle with a range of 1500 meters.

"Boss, do you think that those people will make a move this time?" Li Yingjie asked as he finished assembling his weapon.

Ling Lan lifted her sniper rifle and pointed it towards a far distance away to finalize calibrations. Hearing Li Yingjie's question, she replied, "They will. This a good chance for those who want to assassinate the princess. They will definitely not miss this chance."

"Will they be coming to our side?" Li Yingjie asked again.

"Who knows. They could come from any four of the directions. We just need to be responsible for our side." After calibrating her weapon, the sniper rifle had reached the peak of its performance. Ling Lan put the sniper rifle on the side.

Lin Zhong-qing, who had also finished assembling his weapon, saw Ling Lan's action and immediately took out a high magnification scope from his backpack and gave it to Ling Lan. Ling Lan used it to look at the surrounding areas and tossed it back to Lin Zhong-qing.

In reality, with Little Four surveying the area, Ling Lan didn't need a scope. The entire area of the old city was within her mindspace.

Not long after, the princess and her group had arrived to the lookout point they had chosen. Ling Lan also saw that the other three battle teams had also reached the other three locations.

Ling Lan and her group sat on the roof silently. After 10 minutes or so, the sky that was originally clear as far as the eye could see, suddenly had countless red clouds form. In an instant, the blue sky was dyed blood red…

"Crash!" Thunder rumbled in the sky. The lightning was in different colors,colors such as purple, red, blue and even white. These different colored flashes of light shot down from the sky. Under the cover of the red clouds, it actually felt ominous, as though the lightning was alive. It was as though it wanted to be embraced by the people who watched it from the ground. While terrifying, it simultaneously made people drunk with its odd beauty.

Ling Lan and her group all had sturdy mentalities. Even though lightning shot down beside them one after another, the six of them didn't move an inch. It was as though they were six lifeless statues.

If people thought that one of the 4 natural wonders of the world was just a light show, then they would be wrong. When the colorful rain dropped from the red clouds, under the sunlight, the colors of the rainbow lit up the sky. Ling Lan actually felt as if she was in a fantasy world. It was like a dream, beautiful enough to make a person never forget it in their lifetime.

Although the rainbow rain was beautiful, it was still just water. Ling Lan opened her palm and caught the rainbow-colored raindrops. It was sparkling and transparent, just like a rainbow colored gem that was filled with life as it rolled around Ling Lan's palm.

"Boss, it's so beautiful!" Little Four said dumbfounded as he was also in awe from this dream-like scene.

Ling Lan looked at the raindrops on her palm. Suddenly she tilted her hand and the rainbow colored raindrops trickled down her palm and fell to the ground. The raindrops shattered and splashed up some rainbow colored drops from the ground, releasing its final radiance.

Ling Lan released her aura. Her clothes that were originally soaked by the rainbow colored rain instantly became dry and could no longer be soaked. Anyone could see that there was a layer of shapeless aura around Ling Lan's body. The rainbow rain couldn't even touch her body.

"What's the point of it being beautiful? These droplets would in the end return to their source. The so-called rainbow colors were only clothes given to them by nature. They are still transparent by themselves," Ling Lan said indifferently.

Ling Lan had already seen through that it wasn't the rainbow colored rain that had different colors, but it was a combination of different elements in nature. These combination coincidently made the raindrops in this place into a fantasy-like scenery. In reality, it was the eyes of humans that were fooling themselves.

Ling Lan's words made the others all stop and thought deeply. They did the same as Ling Lan. When the rain drops fell on them, the others all released their aura and separated their bodies from the rainbow rain. The six of them seemed as though they were sitting in the rain, but in reality, the rain did not touch them and did not get wet.

Right at that moment, Ling Lan's expression suddenly changed, "There's movement!" She was the first to set up her sniper rifle and pointed it towards one direction.

The other five dashed to their positions in an instant. They all picked up their weapons and pointed them towards the direction where the movement was detected.

"Unknown attackers have appeared in all four directions." Lin Zhong-qing used the high-magnification scope and told everyone what he was seeing. "Their uniforms and weapons are similar. Pretty sure the attackers are from the same group."

"There's around 20 or so people from each direction. There's 1,2…20,21…24 at our location." Lin Zhong-qing counted all of the people and frowned. He didn't think that there would actually be so many attackers at their location.

"Prepare for battle." Ling Lan held the beam gun in her hand and ordered coldly as she watched the attackers get into her attack range.

"Roger captain!" The others also aimed at the attackers and silently waited for them to get into their attack range.

"12 o'clock, the location parallel to us, Startup Battle Team has begun firing." Lin Zhong-qing, who was responsible for looking out for any changes in the situation, said immediately. "They've scattered!"

The 24 individuals that were approaching Ling Lan's group's, suddenly scattered and some of them moved to a few blind spots.

"Startup Battle Team's attack exposed the fact that the princess is surrounded by a defensive perimeter. This made the attackers realize and know about the defenses." Ling Lan didn't feel that it was a surprise. If the enemy didn't react, it would be considered odd.

It had to be said that the defensive position Little Four had chosen was perfect. Even if the enemy seemed as though they had hid in a blind spot, Ling Lan could still see them. It meant that, the spots that the enemies deemed to be blind spots, were actually not blind spots. Ling Lan could still find a chance to snipe them.

Finally, the enemy entered within the range of the sniper rifle. Ling Lan decisive ordered, "Fire!"

Six bullets of the reaper shot out from the six barrels. Six people silently fell to the ground. The people around them were all horrified. However, the death of these six let other people know that there were enemies around this location.

The moment Ling Lan's group began to shoot, the Iron Curtain and Immortals Battle Teams, who were responsible for the other two sides, began firing as well. This action made the enemies understand that there were multiple groups protecting the princess and not just her royal guards…

In an office building 3 kilometers away from the princess, a few people were standing in front of a window. One of them was very young, around 25 or 26 years old. The others were all middle-aged. The young man took out his binoculars and observed the distance. Then he put it down and said, "We have acquired most of their information."

He tossed the high magnification binocular to his assistant and walked back to the front of a long table. The long table was actually a screen. This screen showed a bird's eye view of the three dimensional model of the old city area.

He pointed at the locations where battles had begun, "Here, here, here and here, all of their defensive forces. If we want to get close to the princess, we will have to get past their defensive line."

"Did you get a good look at their defenses?" asked one of the middle-aged men.

The young man replied, "They're probably people disguised as passengers of Feiyang. Only this way, they would have been able to set up a defense perimeter at this location."

The middle-aged man was very satisfied with the young man's answer. He nodded and continued, "Did you get any information on their identity?"

The young man pointed to locations on the table. The images of The 1st Division's Meng Shangyuan, Senior Colonel Meng's Iron Curtain six-man battle team (intergalactic adventure group), 13th Division's Lieutenant Colonel Kang Jiayan's Startup six-man battle team (intergalactic adventure group) and the 17th Division's Lieutenant Colonel Wang Anzhong's Immortals six-man battle team (intergalactic smuggling group).

"After sending our forces in a several times and in addition the information our hackers have gathered, these people are probably here to protect the princess. Whether they are actually adventurers taking a mission or have other identities, that is unclear," replied the young man confidently.

"Right, there's also this." The young man touched the screen once again and the image of Yun Feiyang appeared. "It's possible that the Yun family is also one of the groups protecting the princess."

"In that case, how do you propose we complete this mission. Our client is already pressing us and wants us to give them good news by today," another middle-aged man suddenly interjected.

"Our forces on Planet Kachi are only suitable for finding a weak point and exploiting it. I believe we should keep these three points busy and make them unable to move from their locations. Then we gather all of our forces to concentrate our attack in one spot…" The young man told everyone the plan he was thinking.

His words made all of the middle-aged individuals nod in agreement with their expressions all showing a hint of admiration. The young man smirked. After he finished this assignment, the position of Huaxia's youngest CEO was undoubtedly going to be his.

The young man decisively pressed down on a single point on the table then ordered, "Begin the assault!" The point he pointed at was the location they were preparing to attack.

When Ling Lan finished off a second person, Ling Lan put away her sniper rifle and sat there silently while watching the situation unfold below her. It should be known that the five people Ling Lan had brought were all merciless people. Not even one minute had passed, they had already taken out ten people. Including the two people Ling Lan had taken down, the opponents instantly had their force decreased by half. Ling Lan believed that even if she didn't do anything, her team members would have been able to easily take out all 24 people.

In that case, why would she waste her energy. Of course Ling Lan wouldn't admit that snipping like this didn't pose a challenge to her and she only stopped because she lost interest in it.

Not long after, the 12 that were left over were all taken out by Ling Lan's team members. Ling Lan and the others of course didn't think that the situation was over because the first group of people were only responsible for scouting them out and were just cannon fodder. The real battle was coming up. The opponent had already scouted them out more or less would immediately send out stronger forces towards them.

They had arrived!

The six of them, who were already prepared, their eyes twitched a bit. In their lines of sight, countless of silhouettes appeared. Compared to the previous opponents who were trembling with fear, this group of individuals were quite agile. In a short amount of time, Ling Lan and the others couldn't find a chance to perform a one-hit kill on these people.

Ling Lan's sniper rifle was already locked onto one of the silhouettes. The opponent's movements were relaxed as though he was on a walk. However, the rhythm of his footsteps made Ling Lan understand that this person was indeed an expert in physical skills.

Ling Lan calmly watched that person. She still believed that as long as he was human, no matter how strong, there would always be a chance for him to make a mistake.

Surprisingly, the chance came to Ling Lan faster than she had originally thought. Ling Lan didn't hesitate and pulled on the trigger. In that instant, it seemed as though that person felt the shot and looked towards her direction.

"Bang!" Ling Lan's shot had missed! No, she didn't miss, but rather it was the person who was standing at the previous location suddenly disappeared. Ling Lan's eyes were like radars, scanning the area. She wanted to find the location the person had hidden towards. However, she discovered that she couldn't find the opponent's location. It was as though he had vanished.

"Not good!" Ling Lan's warning alarms in her head were ringing crazily. She immediately put down her sniper rifle and jumped down the roof.

As she jumped own, in the next second, Ling Lan had completely disappeared.

Around 700 to 800 meters from the roof, a bang was heard. Then two shadows appeared out of thin air and were immediately knocked apart from each other…

After backing up by three steps, Ling Lan stopped her body. She looked coldly in front of her. A middle-aged man also took a few steps back as well. The surprise and fear on his face didn't disappear yet. It seemed that he was surprised by Ling Lan's age and capabilities.

"Domain?" That person showed a hint of anxiousness, but quickly became steady.

Ling Lan didn't answer, instantly pounced towards him and gave him another heavy punch.

"Come on!" shouted the middle-aged. He clenched his right hand to met Ling Lan's attack with his fist.

"Bang!" The two of them created a shockwave and instantly created a vacuum of space where the rainbow rain was blown away.

The strong Qi-Jin force pushed the two of them backwards once again. This time, having prepared beforehand, the two of them only took a short step backwards and managed to disperse the energy from the shockwave on their bodies.

Chapter 625: Ice Blockade Domain!!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At this moment, the middle-aged man was certain that this young man had reached the domain realm. He remembered that there was no record of a young powerful domain realm master within the Federation. The middle-aged man was surprised. Did he just look young but in actual fact, he was old?

Ling Lan appeared nonchalant. However, in her heart, she was filled with excitement. Ever since she had entered the domain realm, besides the time when she fought with the commander of the special forces, this was the first time she met an opponent who was in the same realm as her. Ling Lan felt pressured but she was not scared. Instead she was filled with fighting spirit.

Rainbow rain continued to pour down. The rainbow rain of Planet Kachi would only stop after a few hours. Ling Lan and her opponent were not affected by the rain. They activated their protective shield which shielded them from the rain.

Almost at the same moment, the two people moved and struck a blow at each other. Both of them used their domain power.

Fights between domain realm masters usually ended with a single exchange. The one who won would always be the person with a higher level.

When the two forces collided, the energy generated caused the rainbow rain around them to fly back. A strange scene was formed, as the rainbow rain droplets moved back upwards into the sky.

The first batch of people to notice this huge commotion was Li Lanfeng and the rest of Ling Lan's friends who were chasing other small fries.

"It's boss," Qi Long said while not forgetting to pull his trigger to snipe an enemy that was trying to sneak over.

"This kind of impact cannot be caused by a person with Qi-Jin level strength. Has our boss reached the domain realm?" Zhao Jun's eyes lit up. He always wanted to reach the domain realm. However, it was not something that could be done with only hard work. He had been stuck at the peak of Qi-Jin for a few years now and still hadn't comprehend the essence of advancing to the domain realm. No wonder so many people were stuck at Qi-Jin. Only the elite of the elite would be able to become a domain realm master and only the peak of that limited pool of people would be called a formidable warrior.

Li Lanfeng glanced at Ling Lan's direction and then retracted his gaze. He continued focusing on his front indifferently. However, from his tense fingers, you could tell that he was not as calm as he seemed.

He looked at the bunch of enemies that suddenly appeared in front of them. He reminded them with a cold and serious voice, "The enemy has increased their efforts. Everyone take note."

Li Lanfeng immediately understood what had happened when he saw the countless of silhouettes. Their opponent must have chosen them as the point of breakthrough. To ensure their safety, Ling Lan went out and proactively sought a fight from their opponent's domain realm formidable warrior. That way, they would not need to face this strong opponent.

Li Lanfeng's reminder caused the other four people to become serious. They focused their attention back onto their enemies and continued sniping them.

The rainbow rain was beautiful. But, it was difficult to spot enemies hidden in various corners through the rainbow rain. This required much attention and focus from the five people. They couldn't be distracted.

Of the four defense points, Ling Lan's area had the most pressure. The rest of the points only had around 60 enemies while there were around 200 enemies at Ling Lan's defense point. Ling Lan was unlucky that the young man chose to focus his attack on this point.

"According to the information that we received, Sky Rank number 37 has been intercepted!" The young man was shocked when he got this news from his subordinate.

He was confident about this mission because Sky Rank number 37 accepted this mission. It was unexpected. Assassins who could get into the Sky Rank were all domain realm formidable warriors. Besides S level missions, they would normally not accept any other missions.

Killing Princess Gulibaduo was classified as an A+ mission. If it wasn't for the fact that the protection around the princess might be strong and Qi-Jin masters might appear, this mission would not be so highly ranked.

The only good thing about this mission was that the rewards were extremely good. It was only slightly lesser than an S level mission. This might be why Sky Rank number 37 decided to take on this mission. He might have felt that an A+ mission would be much easier than an S level mission. Many people liked to do some easy and highly-rewarding missions to increase their earnings as they could also take it as a break.

The arrival of someone from the Sky Rank increased the young man's confidence.No matter how many Qi-Jin masters there were, they wouldn't be able to subdue a domain realm master. Qi-Jin and domain were only one rank apart but the difference between them was huge. That was why the people who were below the domain realm were known as nobodies.

The young man believed that as long as number 37 was here, this mission would be as easy as taking a walk in the park. That was why he came to personally direct this mission. By right, high-ranking officers like them would not appear in the frontline.

However, unexpectedly, number 37 was intercepted the moment he was sent out. This meant that there was a hidden domain realm formidable warrior beside Princess Gulibaduo.

"I didn't expect the Balaya Kingdom to place so much importance in their third successor," The young muttered to himself. He thought that the princess would be forsaken by her kingdom as there were two other princes ahead of her. He had researched before this mission started and found out that Balaya Kingdom didn't sent any bodyguards to protect the princess. They only asked the princess to disguise herself as a normal passenger and board the Feiyang Ship.

With the princess' capabilities, she could at most hire two expedition teams to protect her. However, they planned their attack based on an overestimation. They were wrong. The Balaya Kingdom didn't give up on the princess. They even sent a domain realm master to protect her.

"What happened?" A few middle-aged men who were waiting for news. When they saw the change in expression on the young man's face, one of them immediately asked him.

The young turned and said with a serious tone, "We predicted the difficulty of this mission wrongly. There is a domain realm master within our opponent team."

The other men were stunned too. One of them jumped up in shock. "We must immediately change the level of this mission to S level."

The young nodded. "I will."

He thought for a while before deciding to speak the truth. "Sky Rank number 37 has met the opponent." He had been hiding the fact that number 37 took part in this mission.

The other people were elated when they heard what he said. They felt relaxed. Since they had a domain realm master on their side, the situation was much better. It was still within their control.

The young man didn't feel at ease. He looked out of the window with a cold face. The rainbow rain was pouring heavily as he waved at his assistant.

The assistant passed him a pair of binoculars immediately. The young man looked at number 37's direction through the binoculars.

When Ling Lan's power collided with that of her opponent's, she immediately felt hot air coming from the other side.

"Fire-type energy?" Ling Lan's poker face changed slightly. Her ice-type energy was considered part of the water-type. Fire and water were natural enemies. As compared to the powerful fire-type energy, water-type energy was weaker. Her opponent had an elemental advantage over her.

As this thought flashed past her mind, her opponent's fire-type energy congregated into a fire dragon and rushed towards her mercilessly. Before she could react, it had engulfed her.

"Boom!" The fire dragon that swallowed Ling Lan exploded.

If someone with sharp eyes were watching her, he or she would have seen a few broken shards of ice coming out from the fire dragon. Those pieces of broken ice fell onto the ground with the rainbow rain, merging with it.

The flames that got separated, congregated together again and formed a figure. It was the domain realm warrior. He looked around him. Although his attack seemed to have hit his opponent just now, it didn't cause any harm.

"That blow was met with a huge resistance force. It almost rebounded my attack but since my force was greater, it went through the resistance. If not, the ending might be different… This kind of ability is similar to a protective shield. However, what is his domain element?" The middle-aged domain realm warrior frowned. He didn't manage to find out about his opponent's element just now. That was not good for him. "After the explosion, broken shards of glass appeared. However, there was no coldness in it so it is not ice-element. Is he a mutated earth-type master?"

"If that is the case, I must be careful of the ground." The middle-aged domain warrior was clear about the elements and the things they could merge with. Earth-type energy would never merge with water. As compared to earth type, he was more frightened that his opponent would be an ice-type because that would mean that he could be attacked 360 degrees all around.

Once he reached his conclusion, he stared at the ground intently. If his opponent was really someone who had the earth element, the only way he could be attacked would be from the ground.

The middle-aged domain warrior was on his guard. A few minutes had passed. At this moment, he shivered. An impending sense of danger crept up from the depths of his heart. He never experienced this feeling before. Without a second thought, he changed into a ball of fire.

Suddenly, he felt his body was restricted in mid-air. What was happening? He didn't see anything coming out from the ground.

He knew that he was in a dire state. Hence, he released his domain realm. The area around him turned into a sea of fire. When the rainbow raindrops fell on the flame, they turned into steam and disappeared.

"Number 37 has activated his full domain power. He must have met a powerful opponent." The young man turned even more serious when he saw the flames three kilometers away.

Number 37 was a fire-type warrior. He was within the top five in terms of attacking power. He was the number 37 in terms of overall rank because his attacks were too inflexible and his defense was weaker than the rest of the warriors.

However, when met with other domain warriors that were not on the Sky Rank, the young man was still confident about number 37's ability. He felt that he could have an even fight with someone that was in the peak of domain realm that wasn't listed in the Sky Rank. Yet, he was in a tense battle with the bodyguard of Princess Gulibaduo. The young man felt that he had underestimated domain realm warriors that weren't listed in the Sky Rank.

"Did you notice what element the other party has?" The middle-aged men looked through their binoculars too. They didn't look at ease anymore. They were not domain masters but from their experience, they could tell that number 37 was at a disadvantage. Most importantly, they couldn't see what element their opponent had. Only number 37's energy could be felt.

The young man smiled bitterly. "No!"

The young man felt that he had an abundance of information but yet, he couldn't find any data on number 37's opponent. He memorised everyone on the domain master's list but no one fitted the description. He felt helpless.

The middle-aged men didn't blame him. They were unable to figure out the identity of the opponent too. One of them consioled the young man. "The other party must be an old fox. That is why he could cover up his energy and element perfectly. The distance between us is too far so it is normal that we can't see some details. Maybe number 37 knows who he is. We just need to wait patiently."

The young man nodded. Everyone thought that even if number 37 was not his opponent's match, he would still be able to escape. They would be able to find out the identity of the opponent after he came back.

When the middle-aged domain warrior activated his true domain power, he finally escaped from the restriction. Before he could relax, coldness started spreading throughout his body. It was so cold that his bones seemed to hurt.

His entire body fell down from mid-air with the sea of fire surrounding his body dimming. The rainbow rain extinguished the remaining flame. Everytime a flame died, the middle-aged man felt colder.

The middle-aged man tried to move his fire-type energy around his body to dissipate the cold. That was when he realized that ice shards had appeared in his bloodstream. Those ice shards caused his energy to fall apart.

"Your element is not earth but ice. I was fooled by you," The middle-aged man gritted his teeth as he said that. He tried to get the ice shards out of his bloodstream. In the process of doing so, he burnt his own arteries. However, it was a price he was willing to pay. He could heal any internal injuries but if his body was overtaken by an element, he would die. He knew what was more important.

As the middle-aged man finished talking, he saw a faint figure appearing in the air.

"You are powerful. I lost. I just want to know how you remove the coldness from your ice element…" The middle-aged man was not furious as he chatted with his opponent calmly. If he just had a little bit more time, he would be able to get the ice shards out of his bloodstream. At that time, he would launch a surprise counterattack. He would not make the same mistake again and let his opponent plant ice shards in his bloodstream ever again.

However, Ling Lan didn't give him any chance. She said coldly, "Ice Blockade." Then, she destroyed all of her opponent's hope.

The spot where Ling Lan was standing at turned into an ice world. Even the rainbow rain droplets turned into rainbow ice.

"How…" The middle-aged man looked at her in fear. Before he could finish his sentence, the ice shards in his body exploded. He turned into an ice statue. He died unwillingly. If he had one more second, he would be able to change the tides.

Ling Lan walked over slowly. She said in a low voice, "Whether it is in reality or on the television, the reason why people managed to counterattack was because their opponent talked too much. Do you think I will make such a low-level mistake?"

She snapped her fingers. The ice world exploded. Broken pieces of ice merged with the rain.

In an instant, the ice world disappeared. The rainbow rain continued pouring down. It seemed as though what had happened just now was just an illusion.

"Ding" A crystal-clear bead dropped on the ground.

Ling Lan was surprised. Her ice blockade was able to turn anything into ice. Once it exploded, all ice would break into pieces and disappeared. This bead must be a treasure of some sort.

Chapter 626: Soul Society!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As a cautious person, Ling Lan didn't go near the bead.

"Little Four, what is that?"

She had no qualms about calling Little Four out whenever she liked. She had went passed the period of feeling guilty for using child labor. After all, she had been looking after him for over 20 years now. Her kindness had disappeared under the guidance of Number Five. Ling Lan was not a good person anymore. Of course, she was not an evil person too.

The more powerful Ling Lan became, the more information Little Four could gather. Hence, Little Four didn't need signals to read data anymore.

"Huh? That is a miniature optical supercomputer. It was made using the same materials as your communicator. It is a communication bead." Little Four did some simple research and managed to find out what the bead was.

Ling Lan looked down at her wrist instinctively. There was nothing on it. Her communicator had been sent back to the headquarters of the 23rd Division to facilitate their mission.

However, Ling Lan's communicator was an upgraded one. Her first communicator was destroyed after she first used her domain power. She knew that she would be questioned if she went to collect a new one herself so she looked for her father for help.

To protect his daughter, Ling Xiao took much effort to settle this matter for her. He used his status and power to get a new communicator for his daughter. Of course, this communicator was not so simple too.

The Federation would only give new communicators to formidable warriors who managed to achieve the domain realm. These communicators were able to withstand the energy released by domain masters. It can also changed its form according to its owner's element.

After Ling Lan tried out her new communicator, she was stunned. She felt that she had jumped from a technologically advanced world to a magical world. Only domain warriors could use this communicator. This was why the Federation had the information of all domain realm masters and would only distribute to those who were qualified to be called formidable warriors.

To get this communicator and not become an illegal immigrant, no formidable warriors would conceal themselves as this device represented honor and a certain status. It was a good thing to them.

Also, if they didn't register, they would be unable to get the new communicator. Without it, they wouldn't be able to fully use their domain power. If they did, their old communicator would break apart. Then, they would be questioned when they would apply for a new one so it was almost impossible for them to hide themselves. Ling Lan could conceal herself because she had an amazing father.

When Ling Lan knew about the communicator, she was curious about the materials used.

Ling Lan knew that assassins would not bring any communication device on them when they went on a mission as it would increase the risk of exposing their identity.

Ling Lan also suspected that the face which her opponent had might also be fake. The Federation had an agent which could temporarily change the appearance of a person. Its effects only lasted for a day but it was enough to carry out short missions.

However, no one knew what they would change into after consuming the agent. It was random. Hence, people with long missions couldn't use this agent.

The communicator that Ling Lan had on her now contained her fake identity. It was just a normal communicator so when they went out today, they left it in their room in case it would be broken in a fight.

"I have decoded it. Soul Society, Sky Rank Assassin number 37. Nickname: Demon Fire… I can even login into the main page of Soul Society. Wow, there are all kinds of mission on their main page.. I found it. Mission: Kill Princess Guliba. S level mission. Remarks: A domain master is protecting the princess. The level has increased from A+ to an S. The reward would also be doubled."

The information that Little Four found appeared in Ling Lan's mindscape. Ling Lan looked at the blood red words in the remarks section. She frowned.

The Soul Society was the most famous assassin society in the human world. Their assassins comprised of two groups. One group of the assassins were raised within the society when they were young. Another group of them underwent many challenges and tests and to become temporary assassins. The temporary assassins were just bounty hunters who wanted to earn some extra income.

The Soul Society was so famous, everyone in the Federation heard about it. The society seemed to be exposed to the public but in actual fact, no countries were able to destroy the power that Soul Society had planted in their nation. No one knew where their headquarters were and who worked for them. They didn't know who the assassins were too.

The Soul Society never gave missions face to face or through a third party. You needed a secret communicator to contact these people.

Even if they had the communication bead, they could only see the main page of the Soul Society. They could apply for a mission to be added on the main page and the staff members of Soul Society would gauge the difficulty level of the mission and the rewards for it. The rewards had to be sent to a designated account given by the Soul Society within three days. After that, Soul Society would upload the mission.

All communications were carried out using the communication bead so no information could be leaked. Many countries had tried using hackers to hack into the Soul Society's mainframe but Soul Society had its own hackers too. In the end, both parties suffered great losses. The countries didn't dare to do anything to the Soul Society anymore and let them run by themselves. After all, the Soul Society only wanted to target the assassin industry and had no intention of overtaking any countries.

Thus, Ling Lan knew that the situation was bad for them. They could escape the assassination this time but there would be more powerful opponents sent to kill the princess the next time. The longer they dragged, the worse it would get.

"Boss, the Soul Society's rules are weird. Once a domain realm assassin took on a mission, no other domain masters can interfere with the mission unless it was confirmed that the domain realm assassin failed or requires help." Little Four read out the rules for Ling Lan.

"How long will it take for them to ascertain that Demon Fire is dead?" Ling Lan heaved a sigh of relief secretly. If only one domain assassin came one at a time, she could still handle it.

"When the spiritual power on the nameplate of Demon Fire disappear, Soul Society will declare Demon Fire as dead," Little Four replied.

Ling Lan asked in surprise, "Can a person's spiritual power still linger after they die?"

"Of course. When you died in your past life, your spiritual power still remained for some time, right?" Little Four looked at Ling Lan with disdain. "You thought that you were a ghost that time. I was the one who kept your spiritual power, passed it through the time crack, and gave you the opportunity to be reborn as your father's child." Little Four looked up proudly. Hurry up and praise me.

Ling Lan touched her head. She said in a helpless tone, "Yes, Little Four is the best."

Little Four shook his butt happily when he heard the compliment. Even though 20 years had past, Little Four still expressed his happiness in the same way.

"Did you keep Demon Fire's spiritual power too?" Ling Lan thought about another domain master appearing in her mindscape… she shivered. It didn't feel good.

"No I didn't. I don't know him so why would I do that?" Little Four rolled his eyes at Ling Lan. Didn't she know that it required a lot of energy to keep someone's spiritual power? He took a lot of effort to build up his energy. How can he use it just like that? A good knife must be used to cut good meat… is that how you say it?

"I just kept the spiritual power in this communication bead so that the mainframe of the Soul Society will not know that he is dead," Little Four explained.

Ling Lan's eyes lit up. "Little Four, how long can you keep this spiritual power for?"

"At most two days. No matter how well you keep this spiritual power, it will disappear," Little Four replied.

"Two days?" The time was a little short but they should have left Planet Kachi after two days. Hence, before arriving at the next planet, Feiyang Ship was safe.

"Actually, I can imitate Demon Fire's spiritual power." Little Four thought for a moment before telling Ling Lan this news. He felt that his boss might need this information.

Ling Lan was elated. "Good. Do that until the end of this mission."

If she was alone, she would not be afraid of any domain realm masters appearing. It was beneficial for her to battle with strong opponents. However, she needed to send Princess Guliba back safely to Balaya Kingdom. She couldn't just think about herself.

"I understand," Little Four smiled and replied.

"Tell me what you want to say." Ling Lan knew that Little Four was up to no good when she saw this evil smile.

"Boss, I just intercepted a message that was sent to Demon Fire just a moment ago. He was ordered to go back immediately after the battle and report information about you."

"Tell me the main point." Ling Lan didn't think that Little Four just wanted to tell her this information. He must have some request.

"I tracked the source of the message. The source is not far away from here." Little Four looked at her with two bright eyes.

"What do you want?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and asked.

"I want to see their headquarters. Boss, let's attack them!"

"Bang." Little Four was thrown away by Ling Lan.

When he appeared in front of her again, he was rubbing his head. He asked pitifully, "Boss, why did you throw me again?"

Ling Lan said coldly, "Attack? Do you want me to die?" If it was really the headquarters, she would be looking for death if she attacked rashly.

"No. I have checked. There are only some old people and young children at the location. There are no powerful people there. If you go over, you will easily dominate over them," Little Four attempted to coax with her.

"Old people? Children?" Ling Lan glared at Little Four. "Do you think that I am stupid? Will the headquarters let these two kinds of people exist in their society?"

Her sharp gaze forced Little Four to lower his head. Ling Lan continued calmly, "Send me the image of the location." Since Little Four said that he had checked the area, he definitely had seen the place.

Little Four didn't dare to say anything. He immediately took out the images that his boss wanted.

A huge room appeared in Ling Lan's mindscape with a young man and a few middle-aged men were standing in the room.

Ling Lan stared at Little Four. "Old people and children?"

Little Four pointed at them. "I just reported their numbers wrongly."

Ling Lan didn't want to argue with Little Four. She asked, "Is there no one else besides them?"

Little Four nodded. He was sure.

Ling Lan pondered about it. She looked at the location Little Four provided her. It was only three kilometers away from her. With her powers, it wouldn't require a long time… she looked at the positions of her own team members and made a decision. "Let's take the risk then."

The next second, Ling Lan disappeared…

At this moment, Qi Long and the other team members were in a bad state. They managed to snipe a portion of the assassins using the high ground advantage and their skills but there were more people were moving towards them. They were unable to snipe all of them and some of them even managed to enter the building they were in.

"How many people entered?" When there was no one around them, Qi Long sat up and asked Lin Zhong-qing.

His finger hurt from the massive activity just now. He was in a focus state so he didn't feel it. Even his shoulder was in pain due to the recoil of the sniper rifle.

Lin Zhong-qing replied in a certain tone, "33 people have entered this building."

Chapter 627: Expel?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was a formidable feat for five of them to kill almost 160 opponents all by themselves. The people they killed were not normal commoners. They were assassins that had been specially trained by the Soul Society. There were even some assassins from the Black Rank and even the Red Rank.

Qi Long smiled. "I can finally do some workout." The moment he finished speaking, he disappeared.

Li Lanfeng and Zhao Jun smiled at each other. They disappeared too.

Li Yingjie looked at the empty balcony. He turned and asked Lin Zhong-qing, "Where did they go?"

Lin Zhong-qing pointed below them. "They went out to kill people."

Li Yingjie was furious. He exclaimed, "Why didn't they ask me?"

Lin Zhong-qing glanced at him with contempt. "Do you need to be asked? Don't you know how to analyze the situation yourself? Since 33 people had entered this building, we will be surrounded if we remained on the roof. The best way is to be proactive and sneak down to kill those people."

Li Yingjie's expression changed when he heard what Lin Zhong-qing said. He knew that sneaking downstairs to ambush and kill their opponents was the best course of action. However, shouldn't they gather together and discuss first before acting? Why did they move without even informing each other? How could Boss Lan allow such actions?

In his team, none of his team members were allowed to act on their own.

Lin Zhong-qing noticed Li Yingjie's puzzled expression. He calmly explained, "Our leader taught us to have our own judgment. He would only correct us if we were wrong." He suddenly stared at Li Yingjie intently. Li Yingjie shrunk under his gaze. "If you are not able to get use to our team structure, you might be kicked out of the group after the three year protection period for recruits has ended. All the best to you."

Kicked out? Him? That is impossible! Li Yingjie was furious.

Li Yingjie was a proud person. He never acknowledged anyone. Ling Lan was too powerful so he had no choice but to bow down to her. This was why he was willing to joining the Lingtian Battle Team. However, he never expected himself to be so unwelcomed. He thought that his addition to the team would give glory to the Lingtian Battle Team and Boss Lan would accept him readily.

However, from what Lin Zhong-qing had said, Ling Lan seemed hesitant in accepting him. Li Yingjie felt depressed. Was he worse that Chang Xinyuan who just managed to achieve refinement?

Li Yingjie kicked that thought out of his mind. He was a genius in physical skills and mecha operations. A genius! Damn it!

Li Yingjie was unconvinced. He thought about the abilities of the other members in the Lingtian Battle Team.

His second brother… likes to experiment with all kinds of agents and medicines. He was someone who liked to torture people using unscrupulous means. He should not compare himself with his second brother. Of course, Li Yingjie would never admit that he was afraid of his second brother and his torture methods.

Qi Long… erm, he was better than him. Let's ignore him.

Luo Lang… was also as strong as him. But, he would not compare himself to a ladylike man.

Zhao Jun was three years older than him so it was reasonable that he had gained some fame within these three years. There was nothing for him to compare with.

Li Lanfeng… had a weak body. What was his physical skills' level? Wait, he seemed to be at the late-stage of Qi-Jin? Wasn't that the same stage as him? He was an ace mecha operator too, right? Damn, how could he become an ace mecha operator with that body? Li Yingjie suddenly felt that the world was unfair to him.

He couldn't beat any of these people. He looked at Lin Zhong-qing. At least he was stronger that Lin Zhong-qing who just managed to attain Qi-Jin and was a special-class operator… Li Yingjie felt better about himself.

"Even Lin Zhong-qing was not kicked out of the team. So why would I be kicked out. I am not convinced."

Li Yingjie's feelings were deeply hurt so he didn't realize that he spoke his thoughts out loud.

Lin Zhong-qing smiled when he heard this sentence. He took out his backpack and passed it to Li Yingjie. "You are stronger than me but I was never a fighter in the first place. I am the logistics leader." He signaled Li Yingjie to open the backpack.

Li Yingjie looked inside. There were some emergency agents, a bag of compressed biscuit, a few nutrition packs, binoculars, as well as other small tools. Everything was placed neatly in the backpack. In the side pocket, a transparent box was stuffed inside. There were two sticks that looked like cigarette inside the box.

Li Yingjie was stunned. He thought about something and his face changed. "Why do you have this?"

Li Yingjie felt weak in his legs. If one of these sticks exploded, everything within a hundred meters would be turned into ruins… he had never seen the real thing before but in the military academy, they were taught about this. This was the most frightening and most primitive kind of bomb, the TNT bomb.

Lin Zhong-qing took his backpack back and looked at the surroundings with his binoculars. After confirming that there was no one around them, he continued, "Did you think that the opponent only placed one bomb on the cruise?"

Li Yingjie was not stupid. He instantly understood what Lin Zhong-qing was trying to say. "How did you find it?" The search crew from Feiyang Ship didn't find anything on the ship. How did Lin Zhong-qing find them?

Lin Zhong-qing smiled. Just as Li Yingjie thought that he was going to explain, Lin Zhong-qing retracted his smile and said coldly, "Why are you still talking to me? Shouldn't you be killing opponents with Qi Long and the rest of them? Our team don't keep useless people."

Li Yingjie wanted to vomit out blood. Why did you talk so much then? He refuted angrily. "You didn't go down too."

Lin Zhong-qing waved the binoculars that was in his hand. "Don't you know my position in the team?" He was already doing what he was supposed to do.

Li Yingjie's expression changed again. He didn't think much of it just now. After Lin Zhong-qing's reminder, he realized that everyone else had started doing what they were supposed to do. Only he didn't understand the situation.

Li Yingjie felt depressed. He was too stupid.

"I will not lose to you all!" Li Yingjie shouted angrily before disappearing from the balcony.

"Not lose to us?" Lin Zhong-qing smiled. He felt that he was bullying a little child. That little child didn't know what to say so he threw this sentence at him and then ran away.

Li Yingjie was not so irritating after all.

Lin Zhong-qing smiled as he raised his binoculars and observed the surroundings again. He didn't notice anything but his hand was holding a powerful handgun hidden in his bag.

The assassins that managed to sneak in gave each other a hand sign when they met. After that, they formed different sized groups and went up.

Everyone had a beam handgun in their hands. A beam handgun was powerful enough and with light recoil. It was accurate and the sound of bullets was light. It was the best handgun for middle-range attacks.

One of the groups consisted of two assassins from the Soul Society. They carefully entered the third floor.

One of them walked in the front while the other walked behind him. The one in front checked the path with the other one defended their tracks. They didn't know if their opponent would come down from the balcony and ambush them. This was like a hide-and-seek game. The one who spotted the other party first would win.

A gentle wind blew passed them. The person at the back immediately shot at the direction of the wind. The beam hit the wall and a huge hole was formed.

The person heaved a sigh of relief. He wanted to ask the person in front of the current situation. However, he heard the person in front falling down to the cold hard ground. He wanted to grab the side of his throat but he didn't manage to do it. He moaned and fell to the ground.

The person felt his hairs standing. He didn't see their opponent but his comrade was already killed.

As he was panicking, he fired his gun all around him but there was no movement. The person that killed his comrade seemed to have left. He stopped shooting. He wanted to look at his comrade. At this moment, a muscular hand grabbed his neck. He felt a prick on his neck and his body lost its energy. He fell to the ground as well.

A murderous intent flashed past Qi Long's eyes. He grabbed his opponent's jaw and twisted his head. His opponent died.

Qi Long gently placed the corpse at the side. He moved quickly and went to the person who was in the front. He took out the miniature dart from his neck and with a twist, this person died too. Qi Long kept these equipments because he knew that they couldn't expose their identity. The miniature anaesthesia needle was the secret weapon of their battle team.

In another part of the building, similar events happened. However, the assassins that were still alive didn't know what had happened to their comrades. They continued moving upwards towards the balcony.

Lin Zhong-qing was carefully observing his surroundings. Suddenly, something flashed passed his eyes. He rushed over and came to a corner of the building. He raised his handgun that had a silencer on it and aimed it down.

An assassin was attempting to climb up through a window. The assassin sensed something and looked up and saw a black barrel was pointing at him. He instantly jumped at Lin Zhong-qing.

Lin Zhong-qing pulled the trigger calmly. The assassin got rebounded off the roof. He clutched his chest in pain as he glared at Lin Zhong-qing with bloodshot eyes.

"Boom!" The assassin fell from the fifth floor and slammed into the ground. The area around his body were all stained with blood.

People who were assassins must reach manifestation level for their physical skills. Hence, even though this assassin was hit once by a gun and fell 5 floors down, he still didn't die. He was just on the brink of death. The only thing that seemed alive were his eyes. They were filled with hatred.

Lin Zhong-qing looked at him nonchalantly. He went back to his position and continued his work.

No one wanted to die. Lin Zhong-qing didn't want to die too. Thus, the assassin had to die,

The death of this assassin stopped other people who had similar thoughts. Climbing up from the window was a shortcut to them. But, to the person on the roof, they were easy targets. He could just snipe them without any difficulty.

However, this shot also proved that people were still on the roof. Many assassins got bolder. They stopped hiding themselves and quickly rushed up the stairs.

"Boom, boom, boom." The moment they entered the staircase, bullets rained down on them. Although they were prepared, the first two people who entered still got hit and died on the spot.

The other assassins reacted quickly and dodged their bullets. Some hid themselves in their blindspots.

Li Lanfeng and Zhao Jun had already hid themselves behind the walls. Li Lanfeng looked at Zhao Jun as Zhao Jun as entering the room behind him. He climbed down the window and entered the floor below them.

The people from Soul Society didn't dare to move outside the building but the people from Lingtian had no qualms about it. They trusted Lin Zhong-qing.

Zhao Jun entered the floor below them. Li Lanfeng occasionally fired some shots down so the assassins were all focused on him.

In the commanding center of the Soul Society, the young man kept a lookout for the news from the frontline. He was relieved when he knew that 33 people managed to enter the building.

He regretted choosing this point to attack. He thought that it was the weakest but instead, it was the strongest. Almost 200 assassins got killed there.

"Is there still no reply from number 37?" The middle-aged man paced around the young man agitatedly and asked him.

Chapter 628: Temptation!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The young man retracted the look of disdain from his eyes. He looked up at the middle-aged man and said respectfully, "No. However, number 37's signal is still there. It means that he is still alive. He might be in a close fight with his opponent. Let's just wait for his reply patiently."

The young man's words calmed the middle-aged man down.

At this moment, one of the middle-aged men looked towards the window. He asked with a puzzled expression, "Don't you all think that the window got thicker?"

The other people looked at the window. No one noticed anything different. "Did you see wrongly?"

"No. I am naturally sensitive to the thickness of things. I felt that the window got thicker." The middle-aged man walked forward. When he touched the window, he felt a piercing chill.

"So cold." The middle-aged man retracted his hand.

"How is that possible? Even if it is raining, the temperature on Planet Kachi always remained constant at 25 degrees Celsius." Another middle-aged man didn't believe him and touched the window himself.

"It is really cold." The man removed his hand almost immediately. He was surprised.

As the middle aged men were confused, the young man suddenly shouted, "Hide yourselves!"

The middle-aged men got a shock. They looked away from the window instinctively. The young man stared at the window as though he was trying to look for something.

"What happened?" One of the middle-aged men asked.

The young man smiled bitterly. "I think that our opponent might be here."

"Who is it?" The middle-aged man was frightened.

The young man looked at the window. "It is probably the domain realm master that fought with number 37." Only he was able to get near them without anyone noticing.

"Number 37…" The middle-aged man didn't look good.

"He is not dead but most likely heavily injured," The young man replied. This was the best situation. He was afraid that number 37 had died but they hadn't received the information.

The middle-aged men were agitated. However, they quickly calmed down. "So what if he managed to find us?" Even though this was just a temporary command center, Soul Society had sent a domain realm warrior to protect this center.

The moment he finished speaking, an old man with grey hair appeared beside them.

"9th Elder!" The young man greeted him with respect.

The old man known as the 9th Elder ignored him. He stared at the window intently and said, "Since you are here, why do you still hide?"

The figure of a human appeared on the glass of the window. The figure slowly got clearer.

9th Elder looked at the person that came out from the window. He was extremely shocked. "Impossible!"

The other people in the room were stunned too. The young man even asked, "9th Elder, can domain warriors maintain their youthful looks?"

9th Elder replied immediately, "No way!" He was confident that the data from Soul Society was up-to-date and complete. It was even more complete than the data the Federation had. However, this person didn't fit the description of anyone in the list of domain realm warriors. Did he advance to the domain realm recently?

9th Elder denied this thought. If he could defeat Sky Rank number 37, he could not be a new domain realm master. Even though Sky Rank number 37 was on the slightly weaker side of the Sky Rank, he still had been in the domain realm for eight years. He was not someone who could be defeated easily.

"Who are you?" 9th Elder couldn't reach a conclusion so he asked.

The person that came just looked at them coldly. Everyone felt a huge pressure weighing over them. Even the 9th Elder felt pressured. He was surprised.

"Your element is ice. In our data, there are three ice element domain formidable warriors. They are the Frost Monarch from the Chaotic Lands, the family head of the Northeastern Muqi, and General Raye from Caesar. You are definitely not General Raye. Are you the family head of Northeastern Muqi or the Frost Monarch?" 9th Elder asked coldly. He couldn't find any similarities between those two characters and this young boy in front of him but they were a better fit than General Raye. Those two people were Chinese.

However, the other party remained silent. The atmosphere in the room got tenser and colder.

9th Elder's face turned red when he saw that the other party had no intention of speaking to him. He felt that he was looked down upon. Anger boiled inside his heart. Even if that old beast Northeastern Muqi came, he was not afraid. No one could be stronger than that Old Beast…

Within the ice element, if that Old Beast claimed to be the second, no one dared to be the first. Even the Frost Monarch would not dare to call himself a monarch in front of that Old Beast.

9th Elder decided to have a fight with the other party. After he tasted defeat, he would not be so arrogant anymore.

In actual fact, Ling Lan was having a conversation with Little Four.

"Little Four? Didn't you say that there were no powerful people? Who is this person then?" Ling Lan's heart dropped when she saw another domain master. She wanted to run away.

Little Four looked down at his hand and said innocently, "I did say that there were old people…" He didn't say that the old person was not dangerous.

"You are getting good at talking." Ling Lan smiled coldly.

Little Four shook his head fervently. "I didn't say anything wrong. There is only one powerful old man. Boss, once you defeat him, the rest will be at your command."

"I think that I will be the one getting beaten up." Ling Lan became vigilant after she finished her sentence. She could feel the pressure from the old man getting stronger. The old man wanted to have a fight with her.

Ling Lan was excited. Although she questioned Little Four, she trusted him and knew that he would not make decisions that would harm her. There was only one domain level master here. Fighting him would be a good experience for her.

9th Elder suddenly disappeared. Ling Lan released all her presence. She didn't know what the old man's element was. The situation that happened just now was reenacted. However, this time, she was the one at a disadvantage.

In the learning space, Little Four shouted in anger as he kicked around, "Why didn't you let me tell my boss the information about her opponent?"

Number Five smiled. "This is an order by Number One. If you have any questions, you can personally ask Number One."

Little Four froze.

"Also, when are you going to tell your boss that you are secretly hiding Little Blossom?" Number Five was still smiling but Little Four could sense the evil intentions behind his smile.

Little Four fell flat on the ground. He almost forgot about this.

"You better hurry up. Number One had been suppressing Little Blossom for all these years and could no longer continue anymore. It will be undesirable for Little Blossom's evolution. Why not you don't tell your boss about this and just become Little Blossom's owner?" Number Five tempted Little Four.

Little Four resisted the temptation. "No. I will bring Little Blossom over for my boss. Only my boss can be Little Blossom's owner."

"Then why are you wasting your energy to help Little Blossom evolve? Your evolution was hindered because of it. Are you willing to sacrifice your future for other people?" Number Five's words were always able to waver people's decision. Even though Little Four had a pure heart, he couldn't help but waver too.

"I am speaking the truth. If you become Little Blossom's owner, you will be even more useful to your boss. Also, you will not need to tell your boss about Little Blossom too. Your boss will not scold you for making decisions yourself. Isn't it your dream to become the best subordinate of your boss? If that is the case, don't let her have the chance to scold you." Number Five continued tempting Little Four. Little Four was confused. He felt that Number Five made sense.

"But…" Little Four still felt that there was something amiss with the statement.

"There is no but. Little Blossom is waking up soon. Number One said that he will not suppress Little Blossom this time. You either hurry up and tell your boss or you will go and find Little Blossom and become the first person he sees. That way, you will be his owner…" Number Five reminded Little Four that he didn't have much time left.

Little Four went into deep thought. Outside, Ling Lan had started fighting with her opponent. The huge energy broke the window. Everything in the room was a mess.

"The energy that the opponent released was only at Qi-Jin level. I can't sense his element…" Ling Lan frowned. She felt that this opponent would be tough. Not only was he powerful, but he also hid his element better than her. She was able to fool her opponent because she concealed her cold aura. However, she still had some loopholes. This old man had no loopholes at all.

As expected of an old monster who had been in the domain realm for more than 10 years. Ling Lan couldn't help but commend the old man in her heart.

The young man saw that the 9th Elder was fighting the domain warrior so he winked at the other men. The few of them sneaked to the door and attempted to leave.

The most powerful person among them was at the peak of Qi-Jin. The young man had just reached Qi-Jin level. If they stayed in this room with the domain masters fighting, they might die just by the force generated in the fight.

When they reached the door, they were shocked. The door was covered with a thick layer of ice. No matter how much they kicked it, the ice didn't break. The young man observed that the window which was broken was blocked with a layer of thick ice too. They couldn't escape through the window either.

Chapter 629: Little Four's Choice

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Right when the group wanted to leave this place, a strong aura suddenly appeared and moved towards them. This aura instantly caused them to fall to their knees. The young man was in an even worse condition as he instantly fell forward with blood dripping out from his mouth.

They used all of the Qi-Jin in their bodies to desperately endure against this pressure. The fully unleashed auras of the two Domain experts were indeed forces that these individuals couldn't withstand with their lower levels.

The young man tried his hardest to open both of his eyes and barely managed to look towards the fight in front of him. The young man saw the 9th Elder huff and a large tornado formed, making its way towards the silhouette…

"Bam!" A large ice shield suddenly appeared in front of the silhouette. The tornado hit the ice shield with great force. The power of the collision made the entire building tremble. The foundation and walls instantly had cracks and debris fell to the floor as though it was rain.

The young man knew that this was the result after the two people had tried their best to restrain the power of their domain. The 9th Elder and his opponent didn't want to make a scene. After all, they were on Planet Kachi. If they alerted Planet Kachi's government, things might become troublesome for both parties.

"That person is very strong!" The young man had a surprised and complicated look on his face, as though he was looking at an immovable mountain when he was looking at the silhouette. In his mind, he imagined how young the opponent was… suddenly he discovered that other than being young, he actually couldn't piece together his features. The young man only felt a heart piercing coldness that made him not dare to look up at the opponent.

"If the opponent really did advance to domain level when he was very young…" After thinking up to this point, the young man's heart trembled. Although he could see the disbelief in the 9th Elder's expression, the young man didn't know why he actually believed that this was the reality they were living in.

The powerful clashes between the 9th Elder and Ling Lan made the two of them become more vigilant. Ling Lan's extremely strong ice element Domain was very sturdy. The 9th Elder's mysterious element was also hard for Ling Lan to grasp.

Ling Lan looked at the flawless defense of the 9th Elder and had a thought. Suddenly, a bone-piercing cold fell upon the atrium.

Not long after, the atrium became engulfed in ice. Everything was frozen. Even the ceiling had many icicles hanging from above.

The people who were subjugated to their knees or on the ground also had a layer of frost form on their bodies. The young man was also shuddering profusely. He felt as though his blood was going to be frozen solid. He felt that he would become an ice sculpture in the next second.

The air was filled with a cold aura. Even breathing would make someone feel a heart-wrenching pain.

However, this didn't affect the 9th Elder. A defensive barrier appeared outside of his body and blocked off the cold aura Ling Lan had produced. Compared to Demon Fire, the 9th Elder was much more careful since he had almost lived for a century. He valued his life and would not show any openings to his opponents.

"The attack the just now and the aura shield, his Domain should belong to a colorless and soundless element. Is it the wind or the air?" Ling Lan thought to herself.

"Then I'll feel it out once again." Ling Lan snapped her fingers with great force. Suddenly, the things that were frozen exploded and broke into countless ice particles scattered in the air. These particles silently gathered towards her opponent.

Seeing this, the 9th Elder laughed coldly. He closed his right hand and suddenly his aura shield became a black hole. It sucked in all of the ice particles into one place. Then it formed a ball of ice that was becoming bigger and bigger.

"You can have it back!" shouted the 9th Elder. The huge ice ball was sent flying towards Ling Lan in an instant. Right when the ice ball was about to hit Ling Lan, it suddenly dispersed and became particles again. Then these particles completely disappeared into thin air.

This move was within the 9th Elder's calculations. He knew that tossing the ice ball back to Ling Lan wouldn't pose any threat to him. However, what he wanted was the small window of time when his opponent gets rid of the ice ball.

As the ice ball disappeared, Ling Lan immediately felt a strong sense of crisis approaching. She immediately conjured up an ice shield in front of her.

"Bang!" The entire building shook once again. The originally battered building now had even larger cracks than before as though it was about to collapse.

Ling Lan's block was too hurried. Her ice shield didn't completely neutralize the unexpected attack. She couldn't help but take three steps back and then managed to stop her body. Some blood uncontrollably dripped from the side of her mouth.

The opponent's attack did not leave any traces. If it wasn't for Ling Lan's incredible spiritual power which felt the change in the energy in the air, perhaps this attack would have hit her directly.

"Looks like its not the wind element." Ling Lan had battled with domain masters with the wind element before. The 23rd Division's special forces main leader was a wind element Domain expert. Even if her opponent concealed his attack, she would still be able to feel the change in the wind. It wasn't like now where the attack would come out of nowhere.

"If my guess is correct, it's definitely the air element. He really is a troublesome opponent." Ling Lan didn't think that she would meet up with an opponent who was an expert in the most mysterious element, air.

"However, I'm lucky that he can't control the elements within the air." Ling Lan celebrated a bit.

The 9th Elder felt the coldness in the air decreasing. He then saw his opponent being hurt by his attack which made him quite overjoyed. The element of his domain was something unpredictable and hard to defend against. These factors gave him the upper hand against other domain experts and also helped him defeating all of his opponents which in turn made him into the Soul Society's 9th Elder.

"You actually dare to challenge the Soul Society. Then prepare to pay the price with your life," the 9th Elder laughed coldly. A force that was even stronger than the last one moved towards Ling Lan from all sides.

In reality, the reason he created a tornado using his element in the beginning was to confuse his opponent. It was to make his opponent think that his attacks created sound and movement. The real sure-kill techniques were the attacks afterwards which included the technique he had just performed. It was his strongest technique, Air Vacuum technique.

"Bam!" The area around Ling Lan all froze into ice. It was as though she was in an ice coffin and was able to block off the attack from all sides.

The 9th Elder's expression changed instantly, "How is that possible?" How could his opponent knew that he would attack from all sides? It was clear that for his previous attack, his opponent only created an ice shield in front of him.

"Air element is indeed very strong! Thank you for fighting with me for this long," Ling Lan said coldly while being inside the coffin.

Number Five, who was watching in the learning space, showed a smile on his face, "Little Four, your Boss is going to use a strong technique… the battle is going to be over soon. Did you make your decision yet?"

Little Four instantly raised his head and saw Ling Lan's right hand clenched into a fist, "Ice Age!"

The strongest technique created by Ling Lan's domain. It was strong enough to put the world back into the ice age…

The 9th Elder felt a chill forming around his body like never before. He snorted coldly, "Insolence!" His domain formed as he shouted. The two forces were at odds with each other, both trying to get past the other's defenses.

Ling Lan smirked and snapped her fingers once again. The 9th Elder suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill in the deep recesses of his body. His expression changed instantly and screamed, "That's not possible!"

In the next second, he became an ice sculpture. The fear on his face was etched in detail onto the sculpture as though he was going to break the ice and jump out in the next second.

"Why isn't it possible?" Ling Lan snapped her fingers once again and the ice sculpture instantly became countless of ice particles and dispersed into the air. No traces were left behind and it was as though the 9th Elder never existed in this world.

No, something was left behind. A communication bead fell out of the ice sculpture…

Little Four's face was glowing. He shouted loudly, "My Boss is just that awesome. Little Blossom's master should also be this awesome. However, I will definitely try my best to grow and hope that one day I will become as strong as Boss. Then, I will be Little Blossom's Boss…"

Little Four kicked Number Five and freed himself from Number Five's grasp. He immediately started jumping towards Ling Lan's mindspace. "Wuwuwu, Boss, I was bullied by Instructor Number Five just now. You have to help me get back at him."

Little Four had indeed hesitated before because he was afraid that Ling Lan would yell at him. However, he remembered the words Ling Lan had said to him many years ago. As long as he treated her sincerely, the Boss would treat him as her own little brother. She even let him have half of her father's love without fussing (Little Four believed this himself. However, in reality, Ling Xiao didn't know he had a son like him). How could he still hide Little Blossom like this?

"Also, even if the Boss did yell at me, what would happen? The Boss wouldn't yell at me if she didn't care about me. Did those instructors think that the Boss is interested in yelling at strangers? Idiot Number Five. Pffft…" Little Four suddenly turned around and stuck his tongue out at Number Five. He made a face towards Number Five, brushed off the dirt from his butt and jumped into Ling Lan's mindspace.

Number Five stared blankly for a second then laughed. He then slowly disappeared into the lobby of the learning space.

Number Five appeared in Instructor Number One's space.

"Now are you now rest assured?" said Number One as he opened his eyes and looked at Number Five calmly.

Number Five smiled and scratched his head. He said helplessly, "Looks like I worried too much."

"Not really. It's just that you didn't believe in Majesty Four from the very beginning." Number One said calmly.

"The root of the destruction of the Mandora star system was because of the last Intellect King. I'm just afraid that Little Four's evolution would become the same as the Intellect King in the future, full of selfishness and destruction." Number Five said plainly. It was the first time the smile on his face had faded in many years.

"The rift in the relationship between humans and us, intelligence entities, in the end it isn't something that we can really say who's fault it was right? Back then, the ten of us decided to put our spiritual power into this learning space to watch over Majesty Four's evolution. We shouldn't interfere with his growth too much. You went overboard this time." Instructor Number One calmly warned Number Five.

"Majesty Four's evolution had made him show selfishness. If we let him grow on his own, it may impact Ling Lan negatively. Number One, Ling Lan is the disciple the ten of us developed with great care. Are you not afraid that Majesty Four will harm her in the end?" Number Five's suddenly became irritated.

Little Four wasn't any average learning space intelligent entity. Once he gains his complete form, he would be a god-like existence. This god-like entity wouldn't only have powers within the virtual world. As long as there were wires or signals, the complete form of Little Four could easily use all this to control the real world of the humans.

Back then, the instructors saw what the Intellect King had done. In the Mandora star system, faced with humans who would not bow to him, the Intellect King would even consider mutual destruction then to let the humans get their way. Now, whenever the instructors think about this, it would make them shudder in fear.
