Chapter 789: Chapter 34 The Six Dragons Sect Reappears
Protector Ti had originally been ditating to nourish his spirit until new intelligence abruptly awakened him.
“Lost them?” he muttered incredulously.
The squad led by Protector Ti arrived in the City of Ur to take away a special individual. The big shots in the sect referred to this person as the “Great Sinner,” who had committed unforgivable sins.
No one had expected that this Great Sinner had been clinging to life until now.
A recent attack incident that had affected both subordinate mbers of the Six Dragons Sect and subordinates of this Great Sinner had inadvertently brought the Great Sinner to the attention of the Six Dragons Sect. But when they ca looking, they unexpectedly found traces in the City of Ur, targeting their objective.
In retrospect, the signs closely resembled the preparatory thods of Mobile Cavalry reconnaissance and assassination.
And at that mont, a group of Mobile Cavalry appeared.
Protector Ti naturally took action against these fellows.
He was not at all afraid of those so-called elite Mobile Cavalry. The low gravity environnt and specialized First Heavenly Layer Prosthetic Bodies within Space City ensured his absolute advantage.
No, even without this Prosthetic Body, based rely on his Martial Studies level, he could break through the Mobile Cavalry’s arrangents head-on.
Protector Ti even felt a touch of “boredom.”
At this ti, he couldn’t help but miss his deceased friend.
“Jiliu, if it were you, you might have found even more joy in confronting those Mobile Cavalry,” Protector Ti thought to himself.
Zhili Jiliu was a rare talent but also an oddity. He was practically born for Martial Studies. In confrontations of various levels, he could always find “fun.”
He enjoyed winning against the strong as the underdog, as well as overpowering the weak as the strong, enjoyed fighting the many as the few, and also relished overpowering the few with the many, enjoyed limiting his own level to fight with enemies, as well as surpassing his level to face strong foes.
For him, every scenario was an expression of “martial arts.”
Protector Ti felt that he himself didn’t possess such a realm.
Fighting these trivial things only brought him boredom.
“Missing Guardian Zhi again?” A ssenger who had followed by Protector Ti’s side was an old colleague. ssenger Jeanne, Protector Ti, and Guardian Zhi were all friends.
Protector Ti shook his head, “If Jiliu were here, we wouldn’t have let that group of Rangers get away—just a bunch of Rangers.”
ssenger Jeanne shook his head, “Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. Guardian Zhi won’t be coming back. However, I believe that Guardian Zhi must have died with a smile in the end.”
When Protector Ti had first received the news of Guardian Zhi’s death, he only felt regret. What kind of person was Zhili Jiliu? Most higher-ranking officers were far lesser in actual ability than Zhili Jiliu. Yet, he had carried out a secret mission, having no choice but to wear an inferior Prosthetic Body to infiltrate Earth.
If Zhili Jiliu died at the hands of just any higher-ranking officer because his Prosthetic Body was too inferior…
Perhaps Guardian Zhi would have felt he died fulfilling a “challenge the boss” scenario in a new “restricted Prosthetic Body level martial arts ga,” dying content. But Protector Ti wouldn’t feel that way.
Not until news from the Twelfth Martial God ca through.
Protector Ti had just a few days ago specifically used his connections within the sect to inquire about the events on Earth.
Based on the previous movents of the Twelve Martial Gods and the intended destination of Zhili Jiliu’s mission…
Zhili Jiliu faced soone who very likely had a prosthetic body equivalent to that of a Martial God.
—It must have been a dazzling battle, Jiliu…
—You must be quite satisfied. I heard that even The Twelfth Martial God acknowledged your Mystic Tortoise True Gang…
—Your last battle must have been incredibly glorious, extrely shining. It’s a pity I couldn’t witness it.
“Those Houndhawks have also moved into the shadows. Now we are more passive,” said the ssenger. “Only you can ensure a flawless breakthrough against the Mobile Cavalry. Once those Mobile Cavalry have moved into the shadows, it is not good for us to disperse the sect mbers to search…”
“Then let’s stay together,” Protector Ti said indifferently.
The ssenger shook his head. “That Great Sinner has survived until now; he must be extrely sensitive, and he will try to escape at the slightest stir.”
“Don’t forget, there are only so many exits here, and the experts in the sect have already put those few exits under strict surveillance,” said Protector Ti. “If a resident who doesn’t usually go out suddenly leaves, we will definitely notice.”
“I hope so,” sighed the ssenger. “I hope this mission will go smoothly.”
………………………..
Ti moved to the day after the attack.
After exchanging contact information with the Hermo Association, Jeanne left the base established by the chamber of comrce.
Calling it a base, it was actually just a mobile ho pulled by rotor drones. In such environnts, these kinds of mobile hos were very popular.
The contact Jeanne gave to the Hermo Association, of course, could not be used to locate her personally. That contact pointed to an unowned account. When the signal reached this unowned account, the AI associated with the account would automatically forward another kind of signal to several other accounts, and only after several jumps would it reach Jeanne.
The Hermo Association would continuously send the agreed-upon signal to that account. After the signal was interrupted, the AI associated with the unowned account would then send another report, which would be delivered to Jeanne after hopping through several relays.
Jeanne could then rush back quickly.
On the first day of the search, Jeanne didn’t dare to stray too far, fearing that the Rangers might launch a Back Skill and eliminate Hermo’s traders in her absence. In that case, she, Jeanne, would once again be left in an isolated and unsupported situation.
But Hermo Association was unexpectedly not attacked.
After searching for several hours, Jeanne returned to Hermo Association’s camp and questioned Asgard about it.
Asgard had also noticed this: “It’s really strange. At least the training we received back then was… to strip the opponent of the chance to rest through continuous attacks. There’s no reason for them to give up.”
—Asgard thought so too…
Asgard asked, “How about you? Did you find anything on your end?”
Jeanne shook her head. “They were very careful to erase their traces when they retreated. The clues broke off not long after I followed them. I temporarily wrote a virus to extract the mories of the nearby residents from the specific ti period yesterday… I don’t know when I will get the results.”
Asgard nodded, then expressed surprise. “When did you beco so adept at Inner Strength? The Gu Skill was not your strong suit, right?”
Jeanne lightly scratched her face. “That… people always change. I’ve also learned quite a lot over the years.”
Asgard shook his head. “The Plague Gu Art is clearly the hardest to acquire resources for on the network… What exactly have you been up to all these years?”
Jeanne smiled at this. “I don’t know what you’ve been up to all these years either.”
