Ascension Sect, notoriously infamous, Xu Gu naturally knew about them.
It was said the group initially consisted of ordinary yet extremely talented people, elites from various industries, who were unable to Awaken into Mechanical Men and thus sought refuge with the Mechanical Abyss.
Polluted by the exceedingly pure and highly concentrated power of Mechanical Abyss, they turned into humanoid steel beasts similar to Steel Beasts.
Yet, they retained their consciousness and command.
Afterward, they began engaging in various terrorist activities, aiming to internally destabilize Hua Country, and to make Hua Country give up resisting Mechanical Abyss.
With the expanding influence of Ascension Sect, more and more Mechanical Men also began to join them, undergoing transformation by the pure and highly concentrated power of Mechanical Abyss to become Fallen Motorcycles, in exchange for formidable power.
"Mechanical Abyss has descended on Xia City, but support has been delayed – it's clear Ascension Sect is obstructing it."
Xu Gu's eyes flickered.
If Ascension Sect committed evil elsewhere, he naturally wouldn't bother, but if they dared to provoke him, he wouldn't rest until he had thoroughly eradicated Ascension Sect's stronghold in Xia City!
There was no such thing as being too cautious against thieves.
He didn't want to be constantly watched, possibly facing attacks at any moment.
[Guard personnel will arrive within five minutes. During this period, please do not go out at random! If you encounter any trouble, please immediately contact Guard Team Captain Wang Lanlan. Contact information is...]
The Motorcycle Association officially sent another message of reminder.
Xu Gu frowned slightly, having many secrets and not desiring these guards to pry into them; without a second thought, he directly sent a message to Wang Lanlan:
"Captain Wang, hello, I am very safe here, guarded closely by over a dozen Level 30 bodyguards. There's no need to waste Xia City's manpower on me. You can save those resources to protect others who need it more."
...
Outside Star Sky Manor,
On a road about thirty miles away.
Several motorcycles flashing with dazzling brilliance raced down the road, appearing like streams of aurora, traveling at immense speeds.
"This mission will be extremely tricky.
"Our target to protect is a newly Awakened S-level high school student, upgrading a level every day—extremely talented. Ascension Sect's assassination attempts are always extremely wild and spare no expense!
"We are likely facing a fierce battle up ahead."
At the front, a gorgeous street motorcycle with black and blue flames flickering urged the surrounding motorcycles.
"What's there to fear! Let's fight them!"
"The scum of Ascension Sect deserves to die!
"If it weren't for the mysterious powerhouse's intervention, Xia City might have already fallen! And all this because Ascension Sect obstructed the support!"
The team members were filled with righteous indignation, holding back their anger, wishing they could completely dismantle all members of Ascension Sect!
"There will be an opportunity."
The team leader Wang Lanlan, on the leading gorgeous street motorcycle, her body shimmering in a dark blue gloss, was very pleased.
But suddenly, she voiced her suspicion.
"Low level, but quite arrogant."
"What's the matter?" the other team members asked in surprise, pressing for details.
Wang Lanlan said, "That newly Awakened S-level has refused our protection. He said he's got a dozen Level 30 bodyguards and doesn't need us."
"What?"
"What a bold kid!"
"He actually dares to refuse our protection against the assassination by Ascension Sect?"
For a moment, all the team members were stunned, quite surprised and taken aback.
"Don't know if he's stupid or just arrogant. If Ascension Sect really wants to assassinate him, can a mere dozen D-level junk stop them?"
"Level 30 sounds impressive, but Level 30 junk is still junk!"
"I don't like hearing this; what do you mean D-level motorcycles are junk?" a nearby sedan protested with a beep.
"Isn't it?" the initially speaking tricycle wondered.
"What I mean is even C-level motorcycles are junk, even if he has a dozen Level 30 C-level Motorcycle Men, it's no use." The white sedan chuckled, suddenly increasing its speed, transforming into a bolt of lightning.
"Let's go! Get him!"
Immediately, the other C-level members of the squad became restless and chased after each other; if it were not for being in the city, they would probably have fired canons and bombarded each other.
Wang Lanlan merely smiled lightly at this.
Their Blue-White Squad was indeed the elite of Xia City, a top-notch mercenary group. All were uniform C-level motorcycles, with two B-level motorcycles in command!
"If that kid is so arrogant, when he encounters an assassination attempt by Ascension Sect later, we'll deliberately act a bit slowly to scare him a bit! Let him learn the hard way!"
Deputy leader Qin Hao, noticing he had stirred up anger, quickly changed the topic.
"We can!"
"Teaching him about the cruelty of this world isn't a bad thing."
"But, we still need to ensure his safety!"
"S-level, there aren't many in all of Nanhe Province, and he's a key future force for Hua Country's revival!"
"Besides, if he comes to power in the future, it's nearly certain he won't completely ignore helping Xia City, and us."
The squad members quickly reached a consensus.
Then, their gazes turned towards Captain Wang Lanlan.
After a moment of thought, Wang Lanlan said, "Alright."
Refusing their squad's protection? Did he look down on them?
The sound of the wind came from outside.
Xu Gu looked up, his eyes slightly condensed, a hint of cold light flashing through, speaking to Lin Yuna:
"Teacher Lin Yuna, something might happen soon, no matter what noises arise, do not come out."
"Okay!" Lin Yuna, knowing she was just an ordinary person and wandering around would only cause trouble, also said, "Are there people from Ascension Sect coming to assassinate me? Shouldn't the Xia City Motorcycle Association have sent someone to protect me?"
Lin Yuna was greatly concerned.
She was aware of the madness of Ascension Sect.
"No worries." Xu Gu reassured her, then picked up Blue Fury Sky Slash, his lips curled up, a violent thirst for blood flashing through his eyes: "Let's hope the opponents are not too weak."
Three minutes later.
The Blue-White Squad smoothly arrived at Xu Gu's location in Star Sky Manor.
It was an incredibly large mansion covering tens of thousands of square meters.
They merely stopped around the perimeter, not rushing in because Xu Gu had refused their protection, and they wanted to teach Xu Gu a lesson out of spite.
Then, they chose to quietly infiltrate the estate, setting up defenses around it, hiding in the shadows to guard.
