Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

In an antique office of over a hundred square meters, drenched in dark red tones,

Alkaid from Yulong International, a major shareholder and board member, was communicating with an elderly figure full of the air of a superior being through a projection screen.

"We set up keywords to search all videos involving the 'Qingyu' incident. As soon as any video leaks, it is to be taken down immediately, and we've come up with reasons including gore, violence, discomfort, instability, and exaggeration, among others. There's always a suitable one. At the same time, we have people post similar videos online in advance and rapidly produce a movie, using a third party to divert the topic toward the promotion before the movie release..."

Alkaid, whose net worth was in the billions, spoke calmly, managing the sudden crisis neatly.

"The Qingyu Industrial Park incident ultimately occurred in Feiyu Country. We just need to flood the network with a host of junk information to naturally obscure and suppress the truth online. If necessary, we can even abandon Qingyu Industrial Park. As long as it doesn't affect intermediary stations like Yulong International, we can build as many industrial parks as we want."

The figure on the screen spoke indifferently.

"Those taken to Qingyu Industrial Park were tempted by high salaries into their own moral downfall; they will have no connection to us at Yulong International. The operation of this transfer point will not be affected."

Alkaid said confidently.

The projected figure nodded, "I trust your work."

"As for General Jin in Feiyu Country, I will send some Divine Blood to keep him quiet. When the time is right and our infiltration of his forces is sufficient, I'll have his subordinates replace him."

Alkaid continued.

At the end, he seemed to remember something and added, "However, Leader, recently, we should prioritize maintaining stability and avoid causing any disturbances. I have a premonition that someone is watching us."

"Oh? Someone caught on?"

The elder raised his head slightly.

A face often reported in the news within the Tian Nan Territory was revealed.

"What level of opposing force?"

"They just started to realize it, not a high level."

Alkaid said, "As far as I know, a Senior Prosecutor from the Higher Prosecution Office in Tian Nan has arrived in Shanlong. Although under the guise of investigation, his predecessor was the champion of the last Martial Path tournament, and holds Third Heaven strength. Without revealing his True Body, dealing with him would take some effort on my part."

After speaking, he added, "I've already instructed someone to pay close attention."

"Senior Prosecutor?"

The elder waved his hand dismissively, "Such a level isn't worth the trouble. Give him an 'accident,' handle it well, I'll take care of it."

"I've got it now," Alkaid nodded.

At that moment, his phone rang.

During such high-level conversations, in theory no one would dare interrupt him, yet the call still came through...

"Something went wrong?"

The elder spoke, "Answer it."

Alkaid nodded and answered the phone.

Soon the voice of a capable subordinate came through, "Alkaid, something happened. Just now, a 'product' that ran away and was recaptured has jumped off a building..."

Alkaid frowned, "Is such a trivial matter even worth reporting to me? Just a jump from a building, who can be blamed for that? Follow protocol to detach Yulong International from this incident without affecting crowd movement and our shipping business."

"It's just... that 'product' jumped just as a Senior Prosecutor, treated as a chief prosecutor, witnessed it... Now, he's leading people up the building..."

The capable subordinate's voice came again.

"You still have items left unprocessed upstairs?"

Alkaid quickly realized something.

"Yes... There was an incident at Qingyu Industrial Park, so..."

There was an apologetic tone in the voice on the phone.

"Damn it!"

Alkaid scolded displeasedly, "Send those products into the grinder for destruction immediately."

"Understood, I'm on it," the person on the phone hurriedly agreed.

"Senior Prosecutor? The one you mentioned?"

The elder said dispassionately.

"Yes, a troublemaker. If he had just kept to being an outstanding prosecutor with a promising future, and if he doesn't recognize the good fortune... we'll deal with him."

Alkaid stood up, straightening his tie, "It's been a long time since I've had a proper exercise."

"See to it, and make sure it's clean," the elder said.

Alkaid nodded and was about to say something when the door was pushed open.

In the background, one could faintly hear someone shouting: "Su, you can't, you can't go in there..."

Alkaid frowned.

The elder was the first to terminate the communication.

The projection disappeared.

This scene filled You Long with dissatisfaction, "Who let you in?"

He violently hurled an ashtray from the desk forward: "Get out!"

"Bang!"

Alkaid's right hand swept through the air, and the Chengying Sword, like a trail of light, sliced the thrown ashtray in two, the pieces smashing against the wall behind him.

"Demon."

He uttered the word.

You Long's pupils contracted.

The skill of a practitioner was evident from the very first move.

He believed that the ashtray he had thrown was not slow, and its force not weak, but to have it so precisely cut in half by a single stroke was not something an ordinary person could achieve.

And thinking back to his subordinate's report just now...

"Xia Wuyuan's man?"

You Long said.

"President You..."

Just at that moment, Secretary Ding hurried in, and upon seeing You Long's sullen and cold demeanor, he immediately turned pale with fright.

"Close the door, get out."

You Long said sharply.

Secretary Ding, evidently more afraid of President You than President Ou, trembled in fear and quickly retreated out, closing the door behind him.

"Isn't it nice to live? Why do you like to meddle so much?"

You Long circled around the desk in front of him, holding a finely crafted steel cane, and stood firm in front of Alkaid.

Alkaid too was looking at the towering and burly You Long, who was standing just four meters away.

"Do you have someone above you?"

Alkaid asked, "Who is that person?"

You Long's eyes sharpened, and the next moment, he suddenly lunged forward.

His robust figure attacking was like a fierce bear suddenly standing on its hind legs, his entire body exuding overwhelming power.

The steel cane in his hands swung straight up, aiming a crushing blow at Alkaid's head.

The Vigor contained in that strike was so great that not only could it crush a person, but even a few centimeters thick marble slab would be shattered on the spot.

However, faced with that thunderous blow, Alkaid's figure did not dodge or avoid, but advanced to meet the attack.

The Chengying Sword in his hand was so fast it was like a phantom, instantly blocking You Long's heavy and powerful direct strike.

Due to the huge difference in strength, the moment he blocked the blow, he diverted the sword to the right, causing You Long's body to tilt slightly. At the same time, the edge of Chengying Sword, guided by the cane, swept upward, lightning fast, slashing toward You Long's throat.

This intense confrontation and swift change caused You Long, who was mere inches away, to widen his eyes in shock.

As the sword's edge nearly reached him, You Long's body suddenly arched back, allowing the edge of the Chengying Sword to narrowly miss his nose, slicing through empty space.

During the moment he dodged the sword and they were about to pass by each other, You Long's body abruptly stiffened, with a burst of Vigor from his waist, he swung his body around.

In the midst of his swing, the steel cane nearly made a 270 degree arc, hammering straight towards the back of Alkaid's head.

However, when the sword hit empty space, Alkaid had already anticipated any possible counterattacks from You Long.

As this 270 degree swinging strike was about to reach his head, Alkaid ducked down low, and with less than a meter eighty difference in height, he let the cane with its fearsome Vigor and hair-whirling wind smash into the distance.

Meanwhile, as Alkaid swung his sword horizontally, he instantly changed his grip to a reverse hold, turning 180 degrees in the moment he turned around, the sharp sword edge slicing across You Long's waist. Even as You Long immediately pulled back, a cluster of crimson blood was brought forth by the sword edge.

Only then did they truly pass by each other.

They reestablished a distance of four to five meters again.

Alkaid held the sword in a backhanded grip, once again adjusting his balance and orientation.

You Long did the same.

He looked at the sword mark cut across his waist…

Although not deep, the blood that flowed out had already stained his suit red.

The extremely short and close-range engagement was to the utmost extreme.

There was no further exchange of words.

At this moment, both Alkaid and You Long realized the strength of their opponent before them.

"Boom!"

You Long's cane slammed violently into the ground, its outer wrapping shattering and falling away, revealing the cane's core made of finely crafted steel…

And possibly some kind of special alloy.

Alkaid estimated the length of their weapons, their arm lengths, lowered his stance, raised the Chengying Sword horizontally, aligning it with his head, and silently switched to another attacking posture.

The next moment, both aimed at their opponent, their figures charged against each other, their speed exploding once more.
