How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

Everyone present was shocked...

The Chaispur family is a terrifying force in this world. The consortium it controls is the Chaispur Consortium, one of the top ten global conglomerates.

Its industries span resources, armaments, technology, real estate—almost all sectors impacting national welfare. It has its hands in everything.

Some even say that the top ten conglomerates are the shadow government of the Western world.

Solid as a rock, with presidents coming and going—that's what they say about them.

Through the green in the depths of her eyes, Blue Demon captured this consortium's genetic traits, owing to her unique genetic makeup. She is a Grandmaster of Transformation Technique, extremely sensitive to the genetic characteristics of the human body.

Because this is how she makes her living.

Others can only see the surface, but she can discern the connection between appearance and bloodline.

Lin Xiaosu took out the Dragon Eye and found an image of a direct descendant of the Chaispur family speaking at a public event.

This person, wearing photochromatic glasses, seemed charming, but Lin Xiaosu still detected the faint, nearly imperceptible green behind the glasses, connecting to the overwhelming green in the eyes of the old man in the Fog Heavenly King's secret chamber.

He then viewed several more images, all of different people from the Chaispur family.

Some had a faint green hue, while others had strong green. Those with strong green mostly wore photochromatic glasses in public settings, seemingly hiding certain secrets in their eyes that they didn't want others to detect.

"Perhaps the image you saw wasn't disguised," suddenly spoke the Saintess Qian Ling.

She had been silent throughout the process, and now she spoke.

Lin Xiaosu turned his gaze towards her, a little surprised.

Not disguised?

Strictly forbidding subordinates from probing, clearly not wanting to expose themselves, yet they didn't disguise it? Do they not know how shrewd the Fog Heavenly King is?

The Saintess Qian Ling said, "I saw a photo in the Criss family's castle, documenting a collaboration thirty years ago between the Chaispur and the Criss families. The man in the photo, named John Chaispur, was the head of the Chaispur family at that time. After this collaboration, he retired behind the scenes, handing over family affairs entirely to his son, Tove Chaispur. From then on, he never appeared in public.

Lin Xiaosu's heart jumped, "Does he look similar to this image I've drawn?"

"Almost identical!"

Blue Demon's eyes widened, "But you said... this is a photo from thirty years ago!"

"Yes, that's where the mystery lies. Normal people would have two completely different faces thirty years apart. However, the Chaispur family is unique. Their bloodline contains remnants of their ancestors, the 'Blood Clan,' granting them significantly longer lifespans and slower aging compared to ordinary people. Their longest recorded lifespan is 190 years, and that record is just what is presented to the public—the true record is unknown."

Everyone fell silent.

Yet, everyone's eyes were sparkling.

A thirty-year-old photograph contained this person today.

And his family is one of the top ten conglomerates, the Chaispur family.

Everything fits perfectly with the identity of the Venerable Hydra Snake.

The Nine Headed Snake has done all kinds of evils worldwide, surely with certain goals, and during these rampant years, the Chaispur family's assets and power have soared.

No ordinary power can sustain such a massive organization; only a super power like one of the top ten conglomerates could have such ambition and capability.

"This person is currently at Kney Castle," said the Saintess Qian Ling.

Kney Castle is on Kney Island!

Lin Xiaosu's mind stirred. A rift opened between the Secret Realm Space and the outside world, and an Array Plate activated within the Secret Realm Space.

On the Seine River, a Wing Blade's eyes suddenly opened, producing a faint hissing sound as it shot into the sky, soaring over 500 miles across a strait from above, looking down at an island.

This island is Kney Island, with first-class scenery featuring a mountain and numerous castles. Surrounding the castles are towering ancient trees, and beneath lies a verdant prairie, still as lush as spring in this autumn.

The Wing Blade oversaw from high above, the image transmitted as an array eye into Lin Xiaosu's Secret Realm, where his Primordial Spirit roamed freely, observing every detail with the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye.

His eyes were closed, but a few strands of hair on his forehead gently floated upwards.

About five minutes passed!

His eyes suddenly opened wide...

In that moment, his eyes were infinitely radiant.

"I can basically confirm, this Lord is indeed John Chaispur!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Did you verify it with the Wing Blade?"

"Yes, the island is full of masters!"

This single sentence was enough.

An ordinary retired elder doesn't need numerous masters by his side.

Even as a former head of a top-level consortium.

But he has countless masters with him!

This alone points to the special nature of this island.

"Countless masters... To what extent?" Blood Trace asked, "Can we, with just our four, hope to dismantle it?"

The Saintess Qian Ling glanced sideways...

Four people!

You probably don't know, there are three Wing Blades in addition, right?

Whether or not the Wing Blades compare to me, the Saintess Qian Ling, is another matter, they are definitely stronger than you, the Blood Trace King!

Lin Xiaosu remained silent, his gaze slowly lifted, "No plans for the next three days, but three days later, we can initiate!"

"Why three days later?" Blood Trace asked.

Lin Xiaosu said, "Three days later, a typhoon will make landfall—wild winds and heavy rains—perfect to annihilate this worthless organization!"

Blood Trace and Blue Demon exchanged an invigorated look.

If they personally end the last bastion of the Nine Headed Snake, they'll both be commemorated in the Hidden Dragon Pillar, truly making history!

This is the ultimate pursuit of the Qianlong King.

"Rest tonight," Blood Trace said.

This villa has five rooms.

Lin Xiaosu entered a room and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, he opened the door to greet the tranquil sunrise. Against the sun, the Saintess Qian Ling sat by the window, holding a butterfly. The butterfly danced in her palm, but no matter what, it couldn't escape.

"The season has come, and soon the butterflies will die!" Saintess Qian Ling sighed softly.

"Do you want to use your special power to keep it from dying?" Lin Xiaosu leaned on the windowsill, smiling and asked her.

"I could allow it to survive the harsh winter, but it would disrupt its life cycle," Saintess Qian Ling said, "Let it follow the natural law instead!"

She gently raised her hand, and the butterfly flew away from her palm.

Saintess Qian Ling looked up and smiled gently, "You've already set the tone, and your comrades are inspired. But have you considered that if Old Sir John knew about your decision, he might be just as thrilled."

"Is that so?"

Saintess Qian Ling said, "You already stole the core information. According to usual procedures, you should rush the information back to Qianlong Headquarters overnight. This is the most conventional approach, but also the one he fears the most, isn't it?"

"Perhaps!" Lin Xiaosu said.

Saintess Qian Ling said, "But you insist on targeting his lair, haven't you thought that this gives him a chance at escaping doom?"

Her meaning was clear.

Lin Xiaosu had obtained the list of Hydra members.

This is the greatest achievement that could overthrow Hydra, and an unsolvable dilemma for Hydra. By conventional thinking, following spy protocols, he should deliver this back to Qianlong Headquarters immediately.

But he wouldn't.

He still wanted to target the Venerable, planning to challenge him.

Isn't this giving the Venerable a chance?

If the Venerable could counterattack and kill him, wouldn't he have the chance to reclaim the lost information?

That's why she said if John Chaispur knew of his plan to attack his lair, he would probably be very excited.

Lin Xiaosu laughed, "You may be right, but the opportunity is rare."

"Opportunity? Which opportunity are you talking about? Whose opportunity?"

Lin Xiaosu looked up at the sky, "The typhoon and storm are our opportunity!"

Typhoon and storm!

Using this natural disaster to fish in troubled waters?

The logic... it somewhat holds.

In Luoba State, they fight alone.

And the enemies keep emerging.

Facing small groups of enemies, they could naturally outmaneuver and destroy them with superior skills.

But when facing someone of the Venerable Hydra Snake's level, they probably do need to leverage the power of nature to fish in troubled waters.

Well, in any case, Saintess Qian Ling trusts his battle wisdom.

Fight!

That's all there is to it!

The third day!

Just as the weather forecast predicted, the typhoon is coming.

The clouds hung low.

The wind was fierce.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared.

The storm was imminent.

Typhoon weather is very common along the Taiping Ocean coast.

Quite rare in Luoba State.

Because its neighboring Atlantic Ocean generally has a mild character, with very few extreme weather events.

However, no matter how mild it is, being an ocean, it does have some temper.

This time, it seems it's going to show a bit of that.

The night had fallen, and finally, heavy rain arrived in Jingnai City.

As the rain poured down, the surrounding became a blur.

In the dark night, three Wing Blades simultaneously cut through the sky.

On the backs of the Wing Blades, four figures.

Blood Trace and Blue Demon each took one, Lin Xiaosu and Saintess Qian Ling shared one.

This flight, straight through the clouds above.

Although it was Blood Trace King's second time riding a Wing Blade (the first time wasn't truly riding, but rather the Wing Blade carrying him out of the Alpine Mountains), he was still excited.

Because he truly confirmed it.

Lin Xiaosu's trip to Luoba State gained two more Wing Blades.

Although he didn't know the method of how they were obtained.

But that the Wing Blades were under his control was indisputable.

In the past, Wing Blades were deadly weapons in Hydra's hands, any King on a mission had to guard against Hydra's Wing Blade ambushes.

But now, all of Hydra's four Wing Blades had taken the name "Xia"!

This journey to Hydra's lair, using Hydra's own Divine Artifact, hehe, wouldn't that drive them angry?

Blue Demon, sitting on the Wing Blade, gazed through the misty clouds, sometimes catching glimpses of Lin Xiaosu and Saintess Qian Ling, always felt a strange sensation in her heart.

Only two people in the world knew this woman's identity.

One was Lin Xiaosu, the other was her, Blue Demon.

Even Chang Ye didn't know, even Miao Ruolan didn't know.

What does this imply?

It shows he sees her, Blue Demon, as unique!

But from Blue Demon's perspective, she distinctly felt that the relationship between Saintess Qian Ling and him was also unique.
