The Martial Arts Department (MAD) headquarters in Jingdu City.
It was three in the morning.
Even so, all of Jingdu City's MAD was brightly lit, with every staff member bustling about.
Wang Hou, Lin Tianzheng, Three Blades Lin, Pei Donglai, and Zhou Yu were all hurrying to the intelligence department.
The MAD's intelligence department in Jingdu City had a special building with six floors above ground and three underground.
Wang Hou placed great importance on intelligence work, allocating tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of funds to the intelligence department … and that was just for the headquarters.
Every MAD branch in every base city had their own intelligence department, just as some of the smaller cities had their own intelligence teams.
The intelligence personnel all rose to their feet and saluted Wang Hou.
Wang Hou waved them off, saying, "Don't mind us. Keep working, and think of a way to contact the spies who had infiltrated the Sky Demon Cult's grassroots. We must learn their intentions as soon as possible!"
Wang Hou appeared somber.
It was too unusual for the Sky Demon Cult to suddenly summon all cultists. They must be up to something big, and Wang Hou even suspected that the Sky Demons from beyond were on the move …
Suddenly, one of the personnel rose to his feet and exclaimed in delight, "Minister Wang, I've received a Morse code. It's a new-generation Morse code compiled by our intelligence department, and it must be from our brethren who infiltrated the enemy's base."
Wang Hou's gaze twitched as he said, "Decipher it quickly, and try to track the source of the signal!"
The personnel translated the Morse code in just one minute and wrote it on a piece of paper. When he was done, he could not help paling in shock when he read it.
Wang Hou walked up, took the paper and glanced at it, his expression darkening as well.
Lin Tianzheng and the others read the contents of the paper as well.
The hot-tempered Three Blades Lin was the first to curse, seething through clenched teeth, "Damn it! The Sky Demon Cult is out of their mind! Minister Wang, give the order — we'll fight them to the death!"
There were only a few words on the paper.
[The Sky Demon legion will descend upon Lingzhou City in twelve days.]
[The Saint of the Sky Demon Cult has summoned everyone in the cult, intent on charging into Lingzhou City and offering hundreds of thousands of civilians as a blood sacrifice!]
Wang Hou's face was so gloomy that it could almost drip water.
He did not speak for a long time. After a full two minutes of silence, he let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice, "Old Zhou, contact Commander Li of the military headquarters, inform Master Dong Haichuan, Duke Luchan, inform all the martial arts families and sects in the country, and help me contact the Five Holy Lands …"
Zhou Yu did not say a word and immediately carried out the order.
Wang Hou turned to Lin Tianzheng, offering him a fist-palm salute and bowing, saying, "Elder Lin, could you ask the elites of the Penglai Sect to help?"
"This …"
Lin Tianzheng hesitated for a moment, then said with a bitter smile, "Minister Wang, I'll make a move now and make another trip to the overseas ruins … However, the chances aren't high."
"I didn't see anyone from the Penglai Sect when I accepted their legacies in the heritage site, and there's no telling if I could meet them on this trip."
"Please!"
Wang Hou bowed once more and asked sincerely, "Elder Lin, do you know of any other places where immortal sects from the Era of Qi Refinists could hide themselves since you've accepted the legacy … if the Sky Demons really did descend, the Hua Nation's power alone would never stop them."
"Minister Wang …"
Lin Tianzheng sighed and said, "Those secluded immortal sects have no feelings for the Hua Nation … and the fact that they have yet to show themselves means that the time is not right … I'm afraid that there's little chance that they would show themselves."
Hehe.
Wang Hou laughed coolly but said nothing.
Who would care about that now that things had come to this?
It doesn't matter if you come out or not … it would be a joyous occasion if we could stop the Sky Demons, but it would be nothing more than mutual destruction if we really could not.
The country might not have many things, but it did not lack nuclear weapons.
"Minister Wang …"
That was when someone else cried out in surprise. "More information … it's Morse code too, and I've translated it … What the hell!"
The staff member was rambling, unable to believe the information he had received and blankly said, "The information says that someone has attacked the Sky Demon Cult's headquarters …"
"More information! It's Jiang He! The one who attacked the Sky Demon Cult's headquarters is Jiang He!"
"What?"
Wang Hou's expression changed again, and he quickly yelled, "Quick, call Jiang He … no, he wouldn't have the time to answer a call at a time like this. Hurry up and locate him so that he can provide backup. Jiang He's phone number is …"
And yet …
There was no result.
The intelligence staff said helplessly, "Minister Wang, the last place his phone signal disappeared was at Lingzhou City …"
Wang Hou came to a realization then.
Did the brat not keep his phone in his Void Storage?
Beside him, there was a flash in Three Blades Lin's eyes as an idea came to him. "Minister Wang," he said, "have the intelligence departments of the Martial Arts Department (MAD) branches across the nation keep an eye out for any major explosions."
？？？
Wang Hou appeared puzzled.
On the other hand, Three Blades Lin smiled confidently and said, "Just trust me this once, Minister Wang."
…
Jiang He was not aware of what was happening at the MAD headquarters.
He could not care that much right now.
The Sky Demons …
Were coming.
The news was simply too shocking for him. Moreover, those damned extraterrestrials were actually coming to Lingzhou City …
There would never be a day of peace on Earth once they came.
When that happened, could he still farm in peace like he was doing now?
Could he still … sleep well?
"The Sky Demon Cult alone is causing so much trouble, coming after me every other day. I finally had the chance to wipe them out, but now that the Sky Demons are coming, they might come to bother me every other day!"
Days like this …
Just imagining it made one's hair stand on end!
That was why Jiang He decided to wipe out the Sky Demon Cult first. As for the Sky Demons … he would have to take it one step at a time.
Inside the water barrier.
The Sky Demon Cult's Saint was laughing … but suddenly could not laugh anymore.
Inexplicably, a feeling of palpitation arose involuntarily.
In the next instant, Jiang He took to the air outside the array.
In the instant he did, Jiang He had already charged the Nine Heavenly Stars Body Formula. Starlight shone around him, and with a wave of his hand …
He threw out the ten mushrooms in his hand.
"Cloudscraper Vine!"
Jiang He growled.
In no time at all, the Cloudscraper Vine turned into a set of green armor that covered Jiang He's body.
At the same time, Jiang He himself took to the air again after throwing out the ten Doom Shrooms, streaking towards the night sky.
Inside the array.
The Sky Demon Cult's Saint looked up at the skies.
She could clearly see the ten uniquely shaped mushrooms falling from the night sky. In that very instant, the palpitation magnified infinitely, and an absurd sense of danger began to grow.
In her eyes, the ten mushrooms falling from the night sky were falling at an extremely slow speed …
In the next instant, the first mushroom landed on the wave-like barrier of the Sky Demon Cult's mountain guarding array.
Time seemed to freeze.
Pow!
The Doom Shrooms blew up!
Then the second, the third, the fourth …
In a single second, all ten Doom Shrooms blew up. In that split second, the world seemed to freeze, and everything froze in that very instant.
Then …
Kaboom!
The sky brightened.
(PS: Four minutes to one … I was going to write a big chapter about wiping out the Sky Demon Cult in one go, but there's no time. Maybe tomorrow.)
