Chapter 142: 0129 Night Battle Divine General

The plum rain season in Jiangnan arrived later than in previous years. Su City was enveloped in humid, misty moisture, with its classical Suzhou-style gardens blurring beautifully in the rain; it was universally acknowledged that the gardens of Su City were unmatched, once the private estates of royalty and nobility.

Now, the wealthy of Su City also preferred to construct luxurious mansions with gardens for themselves, like the "Wind Wave Forest" located in the suburban area before them.

At the entrance stood two men in black, wearing sunglasses, their muscular arms indicative of their solid Martial Arts foundation. In this era, the wealthy merchants and nobles would employ skilled individuals to maintain security. Figures, some in raincoats and others holding umbrellas, made their way through the foggy mist over the stone path to the entrance.

"Holy Heavenly King, boundless is your merit."

"Go in; Incense Master Li is waiting for everyone."

These figures crossed small bridges and flowing water, eventually gathering at a man-made lake deep within the garden, where an antique-style painted pleasure boat was moored, quite picturesque.

A thin, white-haired elderly man stood at the prow.

His name was Xu Huaqiang, the owner of the garden, and also the boss of a privately-owned medical equipment manufacturing company in Su City, employing thousands of staff. A gaunt man with dark circles under his eyes boarded the boat and immediately knelt down on the deck, knocking his forehead on the wood.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for guiding me into the sect, to worship our God!"

The elderly man frowned and said,

"What ’Mr. Xu’? You should address by the proper titles when you are on a pilgrimage!"

The gaunt man hurriedly slapped himself, making a loud smacking sound.

"It’s my foolish brain’s fault. Greetings, Incense Master."

The elderly man’s expression softened somewhat, and he spoke earnestly,

"Xiao Wang, your Divine Wisdom is quite impressive. Only those who can pass through rigorous assessments and catch my eye are people of divinity. In the upcoming worship of our God, as long as your heart is pious enough and your faith is steadfast, you will be bestowed blessings by the Holy Master, become a core believer, and master the Divine Arts capable of commanding the power of deities and spirits. Your mundane shell will also transcend under the transformation of Divine Power. So, if you see some slight changes in your organs, do not panic; it is an essential part of the glorious path to divinity.

Remember, the Holy Master descended to this world with only one purpose—to make all beings as lofty as dragons! To turn this filthy world into the Saint Realm, without hunger, ignorance, exploitation, or oppression! Whether they are nobles or commoners, all are children of the Holy Master, with no distinction between high and low, noble and humble; the Holy Master loves everyone equally like a kind father. Xiao Wang, are you ready?"

"Ready."

"Remember, sincerity brings spirit! Come with me."

As the others gradually arrived, they boarded the painted pleasure boat, a group of about thirty people, all enviously looking at Xiao Wang who was taken away by the Incense Master, lamenting why they did not possess Divine Wisdom.

As a core believer, there is no need for the tedious and monotonous Martial Arts Training, regardless of one’s root bone, poor or rich, it all enables mastering powerful supernatural powers.

The thin elderly man spoke:

"Let’s begin. I will preside over this revelation ceremony, and the Divine Generals will protect me. The rest of you need only quietly witness... our Lord’s miracle!"

To make these mortals resolutely believe in the True God, the best method was to display miracles before their eyes, allowing them to see hopes beyond the ordinary.

...

At ten in the evening.

Stone Lake police station.

Two low-key luxurious vans quietly entered the police station from the back door, the heavy specialized iron door closed, severing any connection with the outside world. Ten distinctive figures alighted from the vehicles, dressed in plain clothes and wearing sunglasses.

Li Gui and Wu Zun brought the eight members of the genius class.

Chen Zhen went out to greet them, and was slightly startled when he saw Lu Chenzhou. He could distinctly sense that Lu Chenzhou had grown considerably stronger than two months ago.

This rate of progress was somewhat terrifying.

Chen Zhen gathered his thoughts and said,

"Please enter. In order to prevent leaks of this operation, we need you to surrender your phones and use walkie-talkies as communication tools for tonight."

"Understood."

After completing various safety checks, everyone proceeded to the conference room. Li Gui and Wu Zun had already left. Officially, they would not provide protection for the genius class.

Conference room.

Another Martial Artist [Cloud Catcher·Qian Ming] was already waiting. He specialized in Tai Chi Boxing, having graduated from one of the four major Zhenwu Palaces. The Stone Lake police station did not have many Martial Arts experts, only four in total, including the two present and the other two, [Purple Lightning Palm·Qin You] and [Three Cannon Hammers·Zhang Pei]. Qin You was the head of the Stone Lake station, and Zhang Pei was an instructor for the armed police.

Chen Zhen was the commander of this operation.

He stated:

"The operation site is located at a private mansion by the Grand Canal in the suburbs. Tonight, some followers of the Holy Master Sect will conduct a secret gathering there, with over eighty attendees. However, the vast majority are common followers without special abilities. As long as everyone can ensure their own safety, try not to be too heavy-handed.

We’re here to rescue, not kill. These misled people, the state will attempt to reform them, allowing them to return to normal life... As for the core believers who mastered Evil Techniques, their strength is hard to gauge. Evil Techniques are unpredictable and cannot be measured in ordinary terms. If you face a life-threatening situation, don’t worry too much—shoot them on the spot if possible, and avoid close combat. Our safety comes first."

...

At eleven at night.

A series of armored black cars carried the police officers and geniuses towards the private mansion. Lu Chenzhou and Officer Chen shared a car, and Officer Chen asked,

"Nervous?"

"A bit."

"Being nervous is good, always stay alert. If you encounter unforeseen dangers, you geniuses don’t worry about us—run as far as you can."
