Chapter 411: 408 Epic 0 Star

Zone 1.

After the attack incident involving Pang Duddu, Elder Mountain was immediately sealed off.

The closure of Elder Mountain, along with the leakage of intelligence from the Science Alliance, led to a large influx of unidentified people into Zone 1 recently.

The goals of these people entering Zone 1 were quite clear.

Either they lingered outside Elder Mountain, or they were in Jiangnan, or they were in the last place where Lu Wu disappeared.

Of these three destinations, the third was relatively much more hectic.

Many individuals entered Zone 1 and headed straight for this place.

These people overtly and covertly began a carpet search of the area where Lu Wu had disappeared, causing quite a stir.

In just a few short days, several bloody incidents had already occurred.

There were even a few king-level confrontations.

Normally, the Alliance would have intervened early on to suppress it; however, this time, the Alliance acted as if it had not seen and directly forgotten about this area, allowing these people to do as they pleased here.

“It seems that Elder Mountain really is no good anymore!”

In the skies above the area where Lu Wu disappeared, a hundred-meter-long warship was hovering.

Inside the warship, a young man dressed in military attire akin to that before the great catastrophe gazed down at the land below, squinting his eyes.

“It might not be that they aren’t capable, maybe they just simply don’t want to intervene,” replied a young man in a clergy robe from some church standing behind the military-clad young man.

This clergyman’s response elicited scoffing from a girl dressed in tight leather that accentuated every curve of her devilish figure on the other side: “What do you mean they don’t want to intervene? It’s more like they don’t dare to intervene. I think they were scared off by that last encounter!”

It was clear that this girl’s scorn was aimed more at the clergyman than at the Elder Council.

To this, the young clergyman responded with a gentle smile, “Perhaps. After all, the force that attacked them last time was indeed terrifying.”

“Hmph!”

The clergyman was clearly agreeing with the girl, but she still wasn’t pleased and suddenly shifted her tone.

“Those old undying aren’t so easily defeated. They’re lying low now, definitely scheming something else.”

Within two sentences, this girl turned her evaluation of the Elder Council a full one hundred and eighty degrees.

The implications were heavy.

In response, the clergyman always faced her with a smile, a look that said ‘you’re right about everything’.

The more he did so, the angrier the girl became, her eyes fixated on the clergyman as if she was suppressing some bad thoughts.

The military-clad young man, not liking the way this was going, forcefully inserted himself to break up their ‘exchange of looks’.

“We have others here, so both of you could be a bit more discreet.

Also, where’s that kid from the Chaos Alliance? Hasn’t he arrived yet?

Does he have no sense of time, or is he really that incompetent to be this late?

Forget waiting for him!

I’ll just send him the information later!”

Saying this, the military-clad young man snapped his fingers decisively.

“Siwei Armor, open the map!”

Following the military-clad young man’s voice command, a sound that carried spiritual energy yet was filled with a mechanical texture rang out.

“Understood, I’ll open the map for Pimis, the Five-star Admiral right now!”

The clergy youth and the leather jacket girl heard the words ‘Five-star Admiral.’ The former still maintained a smile, while the latter immediately pursed her lips in discontent.

She really couldn’t understand why this fellow, clearly the most outstanding and talented Scientific Cultivator of the Technology Alliance, favored things like armies, warships, and generals.

However, it seemed the girl had known Pismi for a while and had grown accustomed to his peculiar hobby, shifting her focus instead to the holographic map that had appeared out of nowhere, filled with various energy points.

“This map you see now is from an area my Siwei Armor warship detected over three days.

Through this map, we can clearly see that there are 87 areas with abnormal energy reactions within this region, all of which are secret realms.

However, most of these secret realms have already been developed. Lu Wu couldn’t possibly be hiding in them, so let’s first eliminate the developed ones that have already been investigated.”

Pismi spoke, and the light points on the holographic map began to rapidly disappear.

Of the 87 locations, only 13 remained.

“Right, these are the unrevealed secret realms. However, more than half of them have low energy reactions, and the scale of these secret realms is absolutely not large. The possibility of Lu Wu hiding there is slim.

The most likely place he could be hiding is here!”

Pismi said, as the holographic map now showed only a single icy blue light point.

“This place is roughly twenty-three miles plus two hundred and twenty meters and thirty-five centimeters from our current location!

The energy reaction ceiling is about 7821 units, and the energy reaction is ice.

Oh, you illiterates, you wouldn’t understand if I explained it this way. Let me just speak in terms of levels; this secret realm’s level should be an Ice Attribute Epic Level.

Also, at the entrance to the secret realm, someone has installed facilities with very low energy reactions, but various signs indicate that these facilities have very high explosive power, probably also at an Epic Level…”

The leather jacket girl couldn’t stand his rambling and interrupted directly, “Why all this pointless talk? Just say he’s hiding in this secret realm, right?”

“I can only say there’s a ninety-nine percent chance Lu Wu is in this secret realm. Can’t confirm he’s inside?”

“What’s the difference?”

“There still is one…”

Pismi pressed down his military cap, ready to explain properly to the leather jacket girl, but he was abruptly interrupted.

“Shut up. Skip the nonsense and directly tell me what we are going to do next. Are we just going to storm in, eliminate Lu Wu, and seize the fragment?”

“I wouldn’t recommend that approach.

Not to mention the installations outside the secret realm, not to mention the possible presence of Lin Jianying, and the explosive power of the Gate Fragment might manifest.

Dealing with Lu Wu alone will be difficult.”

As he spoke, Pismi snapped his fingers again, “Siwei Armor, pull up Lu Wu’s data.”

“At your command!”

Inside the warship, a holographic image of Lu Wu appeared.

“Lu Wu, 20 years old, former chairman of the Lu Group, president of the Student Union at Jiangnan University, actual controller of Jiangnan University.

Former foster son of the Governor of Jiangnan, childhood friend of Pang Duddu from the Elder Mountain incident, and also rumored to have an alias called Zhengdaguangming…”

Listening to Pismi recite well-known information, the clergy youth kept a smile, but the leather jacket girl beside him clenched her fists.

Yet, Pismi remained oblivious to the danger.

“This individual, who emerged just two years ago, not only became the youngest person recognized as most likely to become a Grandmaster Cultivator but also reached a power level close to Epic from King-level Peak.

His power and talent are both top-notch; compared to him, the three of us are nothing.

Although we currently have a slight edge over him in power, it’s only temporary.”

And whether he’s truly leading now is also hard to say.

From what I know, one of Lu Wu’s summoned beasts is of the ice attribute, and the secret realm he’s currently in is also an ice attribute secret realm. It’s hard for people to think of this as a coincidence.

Either someone wants to help him and push him to the epic level,

or he prepared it himself, wanting to break through to the epic level in this particular secret realm.

Once he reaches the epic level, the gap between us and him will be gone.

By then, even though we have three people, whether we can defeat him or not is uncertain.

Furthermore, even if we can defeat him.

Behind him is Lin Jianying, the gate fragment, and a father who hasn’t shown up for a long time. It’s said that he suppressed an entire era, and even the Elder Council at its peak was extremely wary of him.

Go after him? Are you tired of living?”

“Isn’t the task we received to take down Lu Wu and seize the fragment?”

“Then you can go. As for me, I won’t. I’m young and I want to live longer.

The mission is from the organization, but my life is my own; just going through the motions is enough.

If those guys themselves don’t dare come out, why should I exhaust myself to death for them? Just make it look good.

They shouldn’t kill me just for going through the motions, right?

Besides, I am working quite hard here; look, didn’t I find the guy for you?”

Pismi firmly insisted that slacking off and being laid-back was fine, but going up to fight desperately was out of the question.

However, the two people in front of him were not as lazy as he was.

Hearing his remarks, the leather jacket girl literally exploded with anger.

Her current anger was stronger than Pismi’s previous rambling, or it might be said that her previous and current anger were on completely different levels.

“Is this the awareness you have as a leading figure of the younger generation in the Science Alliance?

Don’t you know how dangerous Lu Wu is?

Pang Duddu died on Elder Mountain. Given the relationship between Lu Wu and her, it’s absolutely impossible for Lu Wu to act as if nothing happened afterward.

Pang Duddu, a girl with mediocre talent and no special features, managed to unleash such terrifying power by mastering the fragment. Once Lu Wu breaks through to the epic level and masters the fragment, do you have any idea what the consequences could be?

He will definitely seek revenge on the Elder Mountain and the entire alliance.

This alone would be a huge disaster for the alliance.

Not to mention, this matter is not so simple.

With your intelligence, can’t you see that there’s a huge, hidden hand behind this?

Although I don’t know what the other party is planning, from their ability to manipulate a fragment for their schemes, we can see their power and plans.

If he succeeds, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Our backers are aware of the severity of the situation, but various circumstances prevent them from taking the field themselves, so it’s up to us to investigate and stop this conspiracy.

In a way, we are now carrying the lives of all humanity in the alliance.

Shouldn’t you have already known all this when you accepted the mission?

Weren’t you supposed to undertake this mission with the resolve to face death?”

The earthshaking roar from the leather jacket girl left Pismi somewhat dumbfounded. It took him a while to come to his senses before he turned to the clergy youth beside him.

“Has she always been this naive?”

“You! Hopeless case!”

The leather jacket girl got even more angered by Pismi, stomped her foot, and turned to leave.

As the leather jacket girl left, the clergy youth also made a bow to Pismi before turning to leave.

“Wait, don’t tell me you are just as naive?”

“Some things, someone has to do!”

The clergy youth left without looking back.

Watching the two of them leave, Pismi sneered.

“These two, either someone screwed up their brains, or they’re scheming something. Let them be; I’m certainly not going to throw my life away.

Siwei Armor, engage entertainment mode.”

Following Pismi’s command, the interior environment of the warship changed.

Various entertainment facilities were set up, and Pismi directly threw the clergy youth and leather jacket girl out of his mind.

“Come on, play the music, continue dancing!”

However, just as Pismi’s warship had started to liven up, a ‘boom’ sounded, and his warship fiercely trembled.

“What the hell? Did that woman smash my warship?”

“Alert, alert, the warship is under epic-level attack, warship defense is estimated to collapse… um, it has been breached!”

Following the alert, a gash was ripped open in Pismi’s warship, and an elderly man crawled in through the rift.

“Holy shit…”

The moment he saw the old man’s face, Pismi’s expression immediately darkened.

…

Extreme Cold Hell.

Outside the secret realm, while countless people were causing trouble for Lu Wu, inside the secret realm, Lu Wu was currently flying in the sky.

It had been five days since Lu Wu entered this secret realm.

Han had been flying with Lu Wu in the realm for five days.

These past five days were simply not the life a beast should live.

The summoned beasts in the secret realm seemed to have a particular fondness for Lu Wu. Whenever Han flew with Lu Wu, entering another summoned beast’s domain would definitely result in a beating for Han.

In just five days, Han had fought a total of 17 large and small battles.

The smallest battle involved fighting twenty to thirty king-level summoned beasts, and the largest involved thousands of summoned beasts led by an epic 0 star-level beast.

If not for Han’s fast running, and if the tribe wasn’t of the water element, both he and Lu Wu would have been doomed.

Consecutive battles left Han and Lu Wu covered in numerous wounds.
