Chapter 1097: Chapter 748: The Time has Come

Both Tianyan Association and the Possessors, who had viewed each other as targets, had now set their sights on the same person.

They were all waiting for the next opportunity, whether it might be the next earthquake, perhaps some chaos within a crowd, or some other circumstance.

In the moment of widespread panic, they would unfold their actions.

What they didn’t know was that Li Changhe had also been waiting for this opportunity. He was waiting for the Possessors to make their move.

"As long as the Possessors are dealt with, Tang Lai’s safety can be secured, at least for the time being. As for the restrictions on him and his assistant Su Nuo, the officials will handle them. In the meantime, he just needs to avoid exposure," Li Changhe thought to himself.

The Tianyan Association was ruthless to outsiders and just as ruthless to their own. In the last incident involving Yanyun, the authorities captured a high-level member of the Tianyan Association, only for the Demon Beast Species residing within him to burst out and kill him.

This was probably the method the Tianyan Association used to hide its intelligence. Tang Lai most likely had a similar restriction. As for Su Nuo... the situation was probably similar.

Compared to capturing a few stubborn members, Tang Lai was the person that both Li Changhe and the officials needed the most. He had to be protected at all costs.

As for the others...

"If they dare to resist... just let them die. They have long since forfeited their human rights," Li Changhe casually chatted with Zhao Qianhui and others while sentencing people like Yinhu to death in his mind.

Li Changhe’s enmity with the Tianyan Association, especially with Wu Ma and Luo Qiao, ran deep as the ocean.

These two guys had to die by his and Brother Ting’s hands.

At that moment, Li Changhe received a message from the [General Mountain] guild channel.

He Feng: Old Li, we’ve arrived

"Very good," Li Changhe felt a stir in his heart. As insurance to prevent any escape by the Tianyan Association, Li Changhe had made arrangements.

The officials’ current strength was tied up fighting the Apocalypse Song, leaving them seriously short-handed.

Fortunately, Li Changhe still had General Mountain.

At this moment, the members of General Mountain had already arrived near the exit of the shelter, effectively blocking the Tianyan Association’s escape route.

"So, all that’s left is to wait," Li Changhe responded.

"Old Li, if Yinhu resists, leave him to me," He Feng said. "You’ve already killed Wu Ma once, it’s time for me to vent."

"Don’t be too complacent. My killing of Wu Ma was because there was no Evolution Game back then. The Yinhu of today may have become a player. He’s an expert who has developed the Magical Skill to control Demons. Don’t underestimate him," Li Changhe replied.

As Yun Ting’s brother, He Feng also harbored animosity toward the Tianyan Association. That was understandable. But he must not be complacent. Though Li Changhe didn’t believe that Yinhu could beat him.

On the surface, Li Changhe was discussing some amusing matters with Zhao Qianhui and Xu Fu.

However, he also came to know that both of them had successfully unlocked their Title Skills.

The guild boost of the Great Wall included an experience increase, which was beneficial for these new players. It allowed them quickly to get through their beginner phase and reach LV5 to unlock Title Skills.

The emergence of specialized challenges allowed them to choose their skill combinations more effectively.

This was far better than Li Changhe’s time. He became an Archer mainly because he gained Long-range Attack Proficiency and Eagle Eye after killing a siren.

Afterward, in the battle against Solar Halo, he unlocked Hundred-Headed Shooter.

Only then did he truly become an Archer, continuing farther along that path.

During that period, Li Changhe obtained many skills incompatible with Archers, but as Zhao Qianhui and the others continued to complete specialized challenge Tasks, at least they would not stray onto the wrong path.

On the other hand, there’s a downside. Li Changhe’s strength derived from incorporating those originally incompatible abilities into his tactics.

Now he had Hundred-Headed Shooter for long-range, Immortal Cavalry to dominate the mid-range, and Extraordinary Soldier for close combat.

Aside from the inability to fly, he almost had no weaknesses. But if Old Zhao and the others did not unlock new Title Skills, they would struggle in complex battle situations.

So, Li Changhe suggested that they could take a few different routes, in case of an emergency.

"The instructor said the same thing, but how are you so familiar with it?" Xu Fu asked with a suspicious look.

"My girlfriend told me," Li Changhe shrugged. "Her level is pretty high, so she occasionally talks to me about these topics. You could say it’s wisdom from experience."

"No, I’ve been wanting to ask," said a member of the special squad. "Your girlfriend is a high-level player, and you’re just an ordinary person?"

"Is there a problem with that?" Li Changhe countered.

"Won’t your family status be very low then?" the squad member asked.

Li Changhe fell silent at the question and it was a long while before he responded, "Family status has nothing to do with whether or not you’re a player..."

"...Oh." The rest understood and gave him sympathetic glances.

...

Time slowly passed by, and Yinhu meticulously used his methods to confirm the Book of Heaven’s predictions with his comrades from the Tianyan Association far away.

According to the Book of Heaven’s predictions, his original plan was still flawless. Yet, clearly, his members had been trampled to death.

This made Yinhu heave a deep sigh, "There really is an unpredictable factor in Canghai City, one that the Book of Heaven does not notice. Yet, it can change the outcome predicted by the Book of Heaven."

It was like a variable suddenly added to a complex formula, vastly different from the original solution. The solution had been altered, but he still held the original one.

With the emergence of this variable, perhaps all predictions for this area could be overturned.

Therefore, if people from the Tianyan Association discovered someone who could evade the predictions of the Book of Heaven, they would make every effort to completely eliminate them.

"Could this variable be that Li Ba? As expected, it’s too close to Yanyun. It looks like we’ll have to cancel any operations within Nanzhe province in the future."

With a low sigh, Yinhu’s hands dropped, and seven or eight metal spheres rolled out from his sleeves. Those spheres silently fell to the ground and rolled into various corners among the crowd.

Those metal spheres contained dangerous experimental creatures, failed products of Demon Beast research.

Although they were not very powerful in attack, they could still attack civilians in the chaos and attract official attention.

Plus, with that family member as a hostage, escaping shouldn’t be difficult.

Yinhu thought to himself and glanced at his watch.

According to the Book of Heaven’s prediction, this shelter would experience a violent tremor in thirty seconds.

That would be their cue to strike!

"Be ready, countdown is starting," whispered Yinhu.

"Understood."

"Tang Lai, looks like your superstar identity won’t be of much use anymore," Yinhu glanced at Tang Lai and said. "After we get out, we will give you ample compensation."

"Don’t worry, I don’t mind," Tang Lai responded with a smile.

Yinhu nodded slightly.

The next second, the violent tremors began. The lights maintained by the instructor flickered on and off.

The civilians could even hear the sounds of steel bars twisting and snapping. Huge cracks appeared on the walls of the shelter, causing the people to let out terrified screams.

The moment had come!

Yinhu smiled inwardly and bellowed, "Now!"
