Chapter 75 75. Difficulties

The low roar was like a lion awakening.

Everyone was silent.

The tent fell into a dead silence. The old man stared at the photo in his hand for a long time, then slowly closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "What else did Wei Shutong say?"

"That's all." Xia Feng shook his head.

Wei Shutong also gave him a USB flash drive, but did not say it was for Big Face Cat, he just asked him to keep it.

The seven captains stared silently at the pile of photos of girls' heads from different angles on the table. The atmosphere was dead silent for a moment. Then a burly captain slid out of his chair and stood up.

"Damn it, that bastard Lister! Fuck him!"

As he stood up, Chen Xingdao beside him also stood up: "Commander, things have come to this point, let's give it a try!"

"Commander! As long as you give the order, I, Old Guan, will fight to the death! Down with that bastard Wang Jue!"

"Add me in." Freya smiled and walked forward.

The four captains stated their positions, and the remaining three sat in their original positions with frowns on their faces and remained silent. They were different from the four captains, as their families were controlled by the prince.

Xia Feng only sent a photo of the director's granddaughter, but knew nothing about their family situation.

However, looking at the condition of the Director's granddaughter, they couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts. Lister was completely untrustworthy. Since he could use this method to fool Director Xuanwu, it was hard to guarantee that he would not use this method to fool them.

"Damn it!" A bald captain stood up suddenly, his face gloomy. "That bastard threatens me every day. I've had enough! Go!"

The gentleman with glasses beside him closed his eyes, sighed, and stood up: "Count me in, too."

Finally, everyone's eyes were focused on the tall and strong Captain Bailong. Bailong's face was gloomy and he couldn't make up his mind.

But at this moment, the dead silence was broken by Mu Qingtong's gentle voice:

"Academician Luo De of the Spiritual Science Academy recently published a research paper on the Dream Seed, titled 'The Influence of Low-Temperature Superconducting Materials on the Duration of the Dream Seed'."

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Mu Qingtong continued softly, "There's a small detail mentioned in it. Under normal conditions, the spirit created by the Soul Devouring Evil can only exist for about 60 seconds before disintegrating. However, under the influence of low-temperature superconducting materials, it can last for about 483 seconds before disintegrating, which is about eight minutes."

"Think about it, do you ever get more than eight minutes to face your family members when you video call them?"

As Mu Qingtong finished speaking, the three of them froze for a moment, their pupils dilating slightly. Indeed, their calls with their families were very short, never exceeding eight minutes due to various reasons.

This most likely means that their family members are actually dummies created by the Soul Eater. The dummies can only last for a maximum of 8 minutes at a time, and their real relatives are already dead.

Seeing the reactions of the three people, Mu Qingtong shut up and stopped talking.

She herself had no interest in the affairs of the Prince and the Holy Ministry, but when she thought that Lister was colluding with the Divine Evil and that it would affect her future life in Area 51, she had to get rid of Lister.

Everyone looked at the woman in the black dress wearing half-frame gold-rimmed glasses. They hadn't paid much attention to her in the dim light, but now they realized that she was too beautiful.

"You look familiar?" a captain muttered, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Holy crap! Aren't you Mu Shen?!"

"I'm your die-hard fan, Mu Shen! You know that song Qingzang that you sang."

Seeing this thirty-something man chattering so excitedly, Xia Feng's eyes twitched slightly. Is Mu Qingtong really that famous? Even the captain of the Holy Corps is a fan of Mu Qingtong?!

"Formally introduce them," Freya said with a smile. "These two are my students. Xia Feng, Wei Shutong's adopted son, is the most anticipated genius at Weiyang Academy. This is Mu Qingtong, from the Mu family in Taicang. She's considered Master Chen's niece and an encyclopedia. You can ask her any spiritual questions you don't understand."

"Oh my god, Taoist Chen, the little niece Mu you are talking about is Mu Qingtong?!" Lao Guan was shocked.

Chen Xingdao smiled and nodded.

"Wait, you said your niece was engaged, and her fiancé is..." The young man looked at Xia Feng who was silent beside him, and his excitement suddenly disappeared like a fucked dog. Damn it!

“Sizzle——”

When a few people interrupted, the chair was gently pulled away, and Bailong stood up silently, making his position clear.

Seeing this, everyone stopped talking.

Xuanwu Bureau Chief silently looked around at everyone, then knocked on the table and said solemnly, "Since everyone has made up their minds, let's start strategic deployment immediately without further delay. Li Sheng, go gather the personnel from each team first."

"Yes!" Li Sheng, who was standing aside, left in a deep voice.

The old man continued, "As long as Lister is still alive, he will betray Area 51 again sooner or later, so we have only one goal this time, to kill Lister!

Liszt has seven third-level and two fourth-level warriors under his command. I can deal with two fourth-level warriors by myself, and you can deal with the remaining third-level warriors."

"Commander, you're going to deal with two fourth-level players?" Bai Long was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. The fourth-level player isn't that good."

As he was speaking, the bespectacled man beside him tugged at his arm, shook his head, and whispered, "The Director was once a fifth-rank spiritualist. During the 'Sad Hill Holy War,' he was cursed and his legs were amputated. His soul was also severely damaged, causing him to fall to the fourth rank."

"So that's how it is." Bailong widened his eyes. If the Director was once a fifth-level spiritualist, then even if he fell to the fourth level, his strength would still be much higher than a normal fourth-level spiritualist.

After all, only the spiritual pressure is reduced, but the combat experience, the number and proficiency of spiritual clothes, and the unsealing status of spiritual weapons will not change.

It shouldn't be difficult to deal with two fourth-level strongmen joining forces. The only thing to worry about is the recurrence of old injuries.

Xia Feng, who was listening to the conversation between the two, nodded thoughtfully. In terms of combat power, the Holy Department and Lister were actually evenly matched. The reason why Chief Xuanwu was unwilling to take action before was probably because he was restricted by threats from his family.

That's why Wei Shutong planned the surprise attack at the banquet, with the purpose of finding evidence that Xuanwu's granddaughter was dead and making Xuanwu Bureau Chief make up his mind completely.

"So, there is one last difficulty left."

Xuanwu said in a deep voice, "According to the information Wei Shutong gave us a few times before, a small boundless field barrier was set up around the birth ceremony. If the prince encounters danger, he will directly hide in the barrier."

"Sure enough, this guy actually dug up so many infinite stones!" Lao Guan was so angry that his teeth were itching. You know, to build an infinite field barrier, even a small one, the number of grams of infinite stones required is very terrifying.

When Xia Feng heard the three words "Wuliang Stone", his eyes lit up reflexively.

Although he already has 500g of Infinite Stone, which is enough for him to live freely for several years, who would think that Infinite Stone is too much?

"So, how do we break through the Infinite Barrier that only the Venerable can resolve?"

Bailong frowned and said in a deep voice, "Or, should we kill the prince before he opens the barrier? But that's too damn difficult. The barrier can be opened in an instant."

"Also, we haven't taken into account the King's combat power before. Although the King doesn't have much combat experience, he is still a genuine third-level spiritual master."

Everyone fell silent.

In the dead silence, Xia Feng coughed and said, "Actually, I have a solution. Are you interested in listening?"
