Chapter 268 "Do you know how terrible you are?"
It was clear that although still shocked, Xiao Tian's reaction speed was much faster than the last time he reported it: "Okay, Master. Please wait a moment, we are verifying and analyzing the information provided."
Zhang Mo: "Let's go. It probably won't be approved anytime soon. Find me a lounge to sit and wait?"
"Okay, okay." Qin Yuechuan was a little dizzy, and his voice sounded unsteady as he responded. He was now basically agreeing with whatever Zhang Mo said.
Upon arriving at the lounge, Qin Yuechuan served drinks to everyone and poured himself a cup of extremely bitter black coffee, gulping down several mouthfuls before calming down.
Zhang Mo sat quietly in the single sofa, her gaze drifting through the clear glass as she intently watched the rolling clouds outside the window, which resembled giant, dark cotton wool.
No one spoke; they waited anxiously and quietly for something to happen.
The large lounge was left with only the faint sound of the air conditioner and the distant, muffled howl of the wind, filtered through the glass.
Just then, Zhang Mo suddenly asked, "Xiao Tian, while you're reviewing this, I have a question. Considering that we just learned he has the means to easily replace human souls, if during the Heavenly Lightning phase, Wang Heng's soul enters the body of another human or demon through special means, will the Heavenly Lightning continue to strike?"
Xiao Tian: "Heaven cherishes life and will pause the thunder to avoid harming the innocent in the event of the above situation."
Everyone:""
A slow smile spread across Zhang Mo's lips as she politely said, "Do you know how really bad you are?"
Xiao Tian politely replied, "I have received your feedback. I wish you a pleasant life."
The demons: What a load of rubbish!
Qin Yuechuan was completely bewildered, and his temples started throbbing again: "So the current situation is that as long as he hides inside anyone's body, he won't die?"
Jiu Xuan glanced at Zhang Mo and shook her head: "He won't just pick anyone."
Lin Qing and Lin Hong, the siblings, were relatively unknown among the demon race. They had barely seen Wang Heng before and knew nothing about him. They asked in unison, "Why?"
There's a process involved when lightning strikes. When he knows he's about to die, he'll naturally just grab any nearby person or demon and use their power to save his life.
Zhang Mo unconsciously rubbed her fingertips together, her eyes calm and still: "Yang Qiang's ritual already mentioned that whether it's through deception or coaxing, it needs the parents' consent to be considered a sacrifice."
Otherwise, it would be outright robbery.
Even within human law, the penalties for deception and robbery are completely different for the same amount of money.
The same applies to the Way of Heaven.
Long Xi: "Open robbery is an evil technique that greatly diminishes one's merits, and he will immediately suffer a backlash."
Even if he eventually succeeds in acquiring someone else's body, an incompatible body will significantly reduce his demonic power.
Zhang Mo: "That's why, for so many years, he has longed for immortality, but he has never taken action."
Because he wants both.
One should offer sacrifices voluntarily without diminishing the merit of the person.
He also needs a matching body so as not to lower his demonic power.
“Then there’s only one choice left—it’s me,” Zhang Mo calmly stated this terrifying reality.
In fact, it was all part of Wang Heng's plan to hand over the position of demon clan administrator to Zhang Mo in the first place.
Because Zhang Mo's physical condition was too poor, he needed to rely on the power of other demons to improve it.
Such an arrogant person as Wang Heng would never ask other demons for help on his own.
All he needed to do was wait for Zhang Mo to fully recover before accepting her perfectly young body at the right time.
The entire lounge fell into absolute silence.
In the midst of this almost suffocating silence—"BOOM!!!"
An unprecedented, terrifying explosion, almost tearing the sky apart, carrying unparalleled thunderous power, violently crashed down from the horizon!
A sentence came through Zhang Mo's phone—
"Upon verification, it has been confirmed that Wang Heng, the former administrator of the demon race, abused the divine artifact 'Soul-Binding Thorn' by employing lawless individuals, causing a severe negative impact. He is guilty of multiple crimes and his crimes are unforgivable."
Thunder Accelerator Package is currently running.
Estimated descent time: one hour.
A year has been reduced to just one hour?!
What was originally good news, when combined with the analysis just released, felt like an ominous countdown.
Without a moment's hesitation, Jiu Xuan stood up swiftly. Her usually languid peach blossom eyes were now as sharp as a hawk's, and her voice was resolute and unquestionable: "Shi Tou, Long Xi, come with me to destroy that dagger. The rest of you, protect the boss and get him out of here, the farther the better!"
Since the key conditions are Zhang Mo and the divine dagger called "Soul-Binding Thorn", we can buy more time by separating the two!
Longxi also said, "Boss, hurry up and leave. Don't worry about us. Wang Heng has no physical form now and no attack ability, so he can't hurt us."
Jiang Mian's voice trembled slightly, but she still said resolutely, "To the beach! Once we're in the water, even... even Wang Heng can't outrun me!"
Qin Yuechuan snapped out of his shock, his brain racing at an unprecedented speed: "Alright! Don't go up there, I'll lead you through the secret passage to get out of here!"
There was no time to say more, not even to exchange a confirming glance, and the group split into two groups in an instant, like arrows released from a bow!
Jiu Xuan, Shi Tou, and Long Xi, the three characters with the strongest attack power, were sent to deal with the "Soul-Binding Thorn".
Zhang Mo, along with Jiang Mian, Jiang Rong, Lin Qing, and Lin Hong, immediately followed Qin Yuechuan down the elevator.
Even Zhang Mo hadn't expected that the "secret passage" Qin Yuechuan mentioned was actually connected to the entire city's sewer system!
Aside from the slightly unpleasant taste, it is indeed the fastest route and there will absolutely be no traffic jams.
Then Qin Yuechuan casually pressed a button on the wall, and with a soft "click," a vehicle that looked more like a car than a submarine emerged from the water.
Its entire body is covered in matte dark gray metal, with smooth and powerful lines. Its shape is somewhere between a high-tech magnetic levitation sports car and a small submarine. It has no wheels and a smooth, streamlined propulsion device at the bottom.
Lin Qing and Lin Hong: "Wow!" Very good, this is very spy-like.
Qin Yuechuan strode over to the "submarine," pressed a button on the side, and a sealed circular hatch slid open silently, revealing the compact yet sophisticated cockpit inside.
Qin Yuechuan: "The nearest sea area to City B is more than 100 kilometers to the southeast. This thing can reach speeds of 500 kilometers per hour. It's just a bit small; it can only seat three people at most. Do you think we should reduce the number of employees..."
Before the words were even finished, Lin Qing and Lin Hong had already transformed into chameleons, clinging to Jiang Rong's arms on either side.
Jiang Mian was even more direct, taking a step forward without hesitation and leaping into the murky water below!
The moment it entered the water, its long, slender legs were enveloped in a soft, dreamlike blue light, transforming in the blink of an eye into a gigantic fish tail covered in shimmering, pearly scales, like the moonlight of the deep sea! Strangely, the dirty water, enough to instantly stain any fabric, seemed to encounter an invisible barrier when it touched the scales of the fish tail, gently sliding away without being tainted in the slightest! In fact, the scales even seemed to emanate a faint purifying force, making the water that approached them appear slightly clearer.
At this moment, Jiang Mian placed her hands on the back of the vehicle, her fishtail gently swaying in the water, stirring up tiny splashes, and said anxiously, "I'll push it, it'll be faster!"
Qin Yuechuan: "......"
Zhang Mo: "".
Jiang Rong: "1, 2, 3, now there are enough seats."
The "submarine" started up and headed towards the sea at an incredible speed.
