Inside a house in Kyoto, Prince Tmall and the Tmall Fleet Commander looked around at the surrounding buildings with curiosity.
"I didn't expect the architecture set in the ancient society of the Dragon Kingdom to be so interesting."
The fleet captain said with a forced smile, "After all, this world is a fantastical world, and nothing should be underestimated."
His Highness the Crown Prince hummed in agreement, "How is our base renovation plan progressing?"
"We are responsible for providing intelligence support for this mission, which is related to the distribution of our merits. We must not be careless."
"Father's health has been poor recently. It's difficult to save him with our genetic technology, unless we abandon our bodies like those mechanically ascended civilizations. But that would cut off our future development."
The fleet commander naturally understood that each of them had an exchange panel with a plethora of amazing items, some of which were beyond their wildest imaginations.
Now that we have this opportunity, we should seize it. We don't need the so-called machine ascension.
"Your Highness, rest assured, our base has been fully upgraded. As for reconnaissance of the Imperial Preceptor's residence, we will send out virtual unmanned aerial vehicles."
"According to what Elder Chen and the old Celestial Master said, that Imperial Preceptor doesn't care too much about us inanimate objects."
Tmall's Crown Prince nodded and said, "Then we should send out our unmanned aerial vehicles to investigate the situation as soon as possible."
"I heard that the Tiger Hunting Civilization has taken over the security business, and they will be responsible for protecting that so-called Minister of Rites, Lord Fu."
"Other forces also have their own missions, and we must not fall behind, understand?"
At the command of Tmall's Crown Prince, three virtual drones, morphed into three birds, began to gather intelligence.
When the drone arrived at the Imperial Preceptor's residence, it saw that all the servants there were stiff and lifeless, like puppets.
"Your Highness, Fleet Commander, according to the thermal imaging of the drones, there is a centipede controlling each of these people inside their bodies."
"Furthermore, these centipedes can unleash extremely powerful energy, and according to the classification of realms, most of them are at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages."
The technicians reported with surprise that the scene before them had astonished them as well.
His Highness the Crown Prince squinted and said, "It seems that this so-called Imperial Advisor is a centipede demon. However, his disciples and followers are so powerful, things are a bit complicated."
"Compile the information here and send it to Elder Chen and the others. Anyway, we're not the ones leading the charge."
In a secret chamber deep within the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Pudu Cihang suddenly opened his eyes, looked outside, and sneered, "Amitabha, it seems some insects can't hold back any longer; they're about to make their move."
As soon as he finished speaking, his skin withered instantly, and a red and black centipede appeared on the spot. Its two tentacles stirred the void, and it disappeared from the spot in an instant.
When it reappeared, the centipede demon had already appeared in a large mountain.
If people from Tmall Civilization were to follow, they would definitely be terrified, because the entire mountain is crawling with centipedes.
Various kinds of centipedes roamed the mountain, and there were no other creatures around besides centipedes.
The two largest centipedes, a red one and a colorful one, crawled over upon seeing Pudu Cihang arrive and transformed into two men with gloomy faces.
The man who was actually the red centipede spoke up: "Ancestor, is it time to make a move?"
Pudu Cihang sneered, "It'll be soon, but recently a lot of ants have been making trouble."
"I will focus my energy on the dynasty's fortune, and leave those ants to you two to deal with."
"Take a group of disciples and followers to the capital to deal with the enemy, and while they're at it, continue to disrupt the dynasty's order."
The man nodded and said, "Don't worry, Ancestor, leave this matter to us."
...
When Mr. Chen received the message from Tmall Civilization, he frowned, feeling a sense of danger looming over him.
"Old Zhang, I'm still not entirely at ease with this operation. Why don't you do the math?"
The old celestial master immediately began to perform divination, but the result was not so pleasant.
"A very bad omen!"
Upon seeing this result, Qingzhenzi remarked, "It seems we underestimated that Grand Preceptor. It's likely that the Tianmao civilization's detection has already been discovered."
"Old Chen, how about you postpone your banquet with Lord Fu by one day?"
Old Chen shook his head and said, "No, we are already on the verge of taking action and need to build a good relationship with Lord Fu."
"I'm not particularly worried about myself. After all, I'm at the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Although I can't compare to that great demon at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, it won't be easy for him to kill me."
"My biggest worry right now is Fu Tianchou. He is the Minister of Rites and has been opposing the Prime Minister all along."
"Any discerning person could tell that this prime minister was the Grand Preceptor's man, and the emperor also trusted the Grand Preceptor. As a result, his situation was quite difficult."
“Fu Tianchou represents the interests of a group of people and can restrain the prime minister of the court. In this way, the dynasty’s fortune will not be so easily devoured. Therefore, we must protect Fu Tianchou.”
The old master nodded and said, "In that case, it's not safe enough to rely solely on the Tiger Hunting Civilization for protection. Why don't you go and observe from the shadows?"
"If the Tiger Hunting Civilization cannot stop them, then you should step in to protect Fu Tianchou."
Qingzhenzi flicked his whisk and said, "It seems I'm destined to be a busybody. Alright, I'll observe from the shadows."
Kyoto remained incredibly lively, but no one knew that undercurrents were already swirling beneath the surface.
Wang Hu invited Zuo Qianhu, a commander of the Imperial Guard, to patrol the streets together, using this as a visible force to draw the enemy's attention.
"Old Zuo, if we encounter an insurmountable enemy later, don't rush into battle. Call for help immediately."
During his time with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Wang Hu actually became friends with this commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Zuo Qianhu was an upright man with superb martial arts skills, capable of slaying even minor demons and monsters.
Keep in mind that these are martial artists who grew up in their native world, not like the kind of martial artists who grew up with the shopkeeper.
Wang Hu also thought highly of this Commander Zuo. It would be a waste to leave such a talent in this world. He planned to take the opportunity to see if he could recommend him to join the group.
You should know that there are only three groups among all customers right now. One is a large group created by the shop owner, Ye Yun, which all customers can join.
The remaining two are the Blue Star Customer Group and the Extraterrestrial Civilization Group, which are approved by the shop owner. Joining them means that the shop owner approves of them.
In this way, they would have the opportunity to become customers, transcend this world, and see the myriad realms.
Zuo Qianhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, no matter who does evil, as long as I am a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I will definitely stop them."
