Xiao Xuance paused for a moment and observed the reactions of the 'real Immortal Cultivators'.
Just as he had expected, everybody seemed to be made of iron. Even their eyelashes did not shiver at all.
Xiao Xuance was greatly comforted. He continued, "I know that you are taking a great risk by coming here for a meeting without the surveillance of your sects. Let's cut to the chase. Captain Xiao Yushan, the positioning squad of the 'Dragon Slaying Operation', please introduce the latest progress of the Dragon Slaying Operation to us."
Xiao Yushan was the young man who had hair as thick as a lion's that Xiao Xuance had summoned twenty days ago.
He was a descendant of the Xiao family who had grown up under Xiao Xuance's tutelage. He had accepted Xiao Xuance's ideology naturally and become an unwavering Immortal Cultivator.
The Dragon Slaying Operation, on the other hand, was the Immortal Cultivators' plan to search, lock onto, defend, capture, kill, and make use of the Dragon King Battlesuit, which was a major variable. There were dozens of countermeasures in every step.
Xiao Yushan did not waste any time. He rose abruptly and bowed slightly.
Dozens of light beams were hovering behind him. A jade ring on his right index finger emitted a scarlet brilliance as he pointed at the light beams and said, "Three days ago, we discovered a ship of the Mystic Eagle Battlesuit.
"Three days ago, we found part of the debris of 'White Horse', the medical starship that went missing mysteriously more than half a month ago, at the edge of the Swooping Eagle Space Zone. Based on the analysis of the remaining radiation and the comparison of the materials, we concluded that White Horse was completely disintegrated in a serious explosion.
"The explosion was too violent to be an accident. Also, there have not been any intense cosmic storms in the Mystic Eagle Battlesuit recently. The conclusion is that the explosion was caused by someone.
"We have locked onto the Mystic Eagle Battlesuit and devoted tremendous resources to the search, only to find nothing.
"There are three other space zones near the Mystic Eagle Battlesuit that can be reached in one space jump. If you take a fast carrier, you can reach them in one to two days.
"We found some valuable clues in the Mystic Cloud Space Zone, which is adjacent to the Mystic Cloud Space Zone.
"Let's do some calculations first.
"Jump from the Spider Den Space Zone to the Mystic Eagle Battlesuit. It will take one to two days to blow up the starship.
"Disguise yourself and sneak into a high-speed carrier from the Mystic Eagle Battlesuit. It will take one to two days to reach the Mystic Cloud Space Zone.
"In total, it's four to five days."
"Six days after the Dragon King Battlesuit reappeared in space, the drug warehouses of seven hospitals in the Mystic Cloud Space Zone were robbed one after another. Drugs worth millions of dollars went missing. After several days of investigation, the local sects found no clues and determined that it was the work of an expert. "
"After our investigation, we found that the seven drug thefts had one thing in common. Among the list of stolen drugs, there were a lot of 'Soul Soothing Powder' and 'Soul Calming Pills' that could calm the soul."
"Fellow Daoist Yin Pingzi of the Feathered Serpent Sect was an experienced ghost cultivator who had died more than 130 years ago. We've done a lot of research. "
"According to Fellow Daoist Yin Pingzi, the possession secret technique is extremely dangerous. Even if you are lucky enough to succeed, you will face a strong rejection in the first few years. If you are not careful, your soul will still disperse."
"The weaker the soul of the possessor, the stronger the body of the possessor, and the stronger the rejection. He needs to take a large amount of soul-stabilizing drugs to maintain the stability of his soul and body. "
As Xiao Yushan spoke up to this point, a cultivator gently knocked on the table. "Fellow Daoist Xiao, excuse me."
"What do you mean? "We all understand now. The positioning squad believes that Bai Xinghe came back to life and escaped to the Mystic Cloud Space Zone. The reason why he stole so many drugs from the seven hospitals was that he wanted to pacify the soul. The other drugs are just a disguise. "
"Exactly."
Xiao Yushan nodded. "All the members of the Dragon Slaying Operation and part of the computational ability of the star brain have analyzed for an entire day. This is the most probable conclusion."
"Then …"
The Immortal Cultivator narrowed his eyes, which were as sharp as swords. "The drugs in the normal hospitals are just common goods after all. If the guy is really possessed by Bai Xinghe, he definitely has the capability to sneak into the local sects in the Mystic Cloud Space Zone and steal the soul-stabilizing drugs that are better, right?"
Xiao Yushan shook his head. "This is exactly why Bai Xinghe is so smart. Wouldn't it be too obvious if he stole the drugs from the Cultivation sects? His existence would definitely be exposed.
"If he stole the common drugs from the normal hospitals, he would be much more low-key and less eye-catching.
"In fact, if we hadn't known which starship he escaped on, it would have been impossible for us to lock onto the Swooping Eagle Space Zone so quickly. If we hadn't concentrated a lot of resources and computational ability here, such a minor case would've been missed by the dozens of space zones of the Flying Star Sector.
"The quality of the common drugs is indeed not good. That's why he needed to steal from seven hospitals in a row.
"Using a large amount of ordinary medicine to extract a tiny bit of essence should be enough for a short period of time."
The Immortal Cultivator pondered for a moment and said quickly, "Alright. You've convinced me, Fellow Daoist Xiao. Please continue."
Xiao Yushan nodded his head. The light and shadow behind him changed. "For the purpose of confidentiality, the scale of our organization has always been small and incomparable to that of the Temple of Immortals, which is just a disguise. We don't have many subordinates in the Swooping Eagle Space Zone at our disposal. Most of the time, we can only collect the public information and analyze it.
"However, Black Spider Tower has been active in the Flying Star Sector for hundreds of years. It is more or less connected to the underground worlds of the major space zones.
"Over the past few years, Spider Den has been declining. The smugglers, drug dealers, and gamblers realized that the situation was not good and retreated a lot. But Black Spider Tower still has a lot of evidence of their crimes, which is enough to make them submit.
"The public information and the underground searches of those people have found nothing.
"The target was more prudent than ever. Except for the soul-calming drugs that he stole when he was forced to, he did not leave any traces behind.
"However, seven days later, another weird theft case took place in the Triple Lights Space Zone.
"This time, it was not a hospital that was stolen but a special store of mining magical equipment. A lot of exploration, mining, and refining magical equipment were stolen.
"This case is very strange."
"Everybody knows the mining magical equipment, such as drills, excavators, pumps, and oxygen circulation rune arrays. Such magical equipment is large in size, heavy in weight, and not very valuable. More importantly, it is very difficult to sell them. Normal people are not likely to buy such magical equipment.
"What's the use of stealing so many stupid, crude, and dirty mining magical equipment?
"On the other hand, the crime scene is too clean. Judging from the traces, the thief used several Cosmos Rings. The mining magical equipment was taken away directly.
"Cosmos Rings are very valuable. One Cosmos Ring is even more expensive than an advanced Crystal Suit. Also, the service life of each Cosmos Ring is not long. Every time it is used, it will be used less and less.
"The thief carried at least five Cosmos Rings with him. He is a rich magnate, and he used his precious Cosmos Rings to store worthless mining magical equipment. It's like robbing someone with a crystal hoe. It doesn't make sense.
"We studied the theft case again and again. Eventually, we found one item on the list of stolen magical equipment. "
Behind Xiao Yushan, a mystic ray divided into six streams and projected a translucent shadow of magical equipment on every long table.
It was a piece of magical equipment more than two meters long and wide, with a square head and a square head that looked like an iron lump. It was covered in a layer of vague black mystic rays, revealing the firmness and clumsiness of the magical equipment in the mines. On the top of the magical equipment, there was also a metal net in the shape of an arc.
"Great Goose VII is a special communicator for mines. It has a high penetration ability and anti-jamming performance. It is designed for use at the edge of the cosmos where there is no Spiritual Nexus and in the depths of the mother lodes where the jamming is very strong. The communication range can cover general asteroids. Telepathic thoughts can still be sent out through the rocks even if they are thousands of meters below the ground.
Yes, such a communicator is based on point-to-point telepathic thoughts. It can be used without the need of the Spiritual Nexus. Essentially, it is a large walkie-talkie. "
Another Immortal Cultivator raised his hand. "Exactly. If someone uses the Great Goose VII to communicate, we won't be able to grasp what they are talking about? "
Xiao Yushan said, "If we don't know their specific identity and coordinates, yes!"
There was nothing but dead silence in the command center. All the Immortal Cultivators were frowning.
It was obvious that they did not like the feeling of losing control.
Xiao Yushan continued. "Let's assume that the thefts in the seven hospitals in the Mystic Cloud Space Zone were the same as the Three Star Mines. The theft case in the mine magical equipment store in the Triple Lights Space Zone was committed by the same person. It will be much easier to search for the person's route.
"After fighting for a day and a night, and even Fellow Cultivator Cui Zongping was unfortunately sacrificed, we finally found traces of the culprit in the Dawn Moon Space Zone between the Three Stars and the Mystic Cloud Space Zone, which proved that the culprit had indeed stayed in the Dawn Moon Space Zone.
"In such a case, everything is very clear now.
"The target was heavily wounded below the ground of Spider Den five years ago. Later, whether it was treatment or possession, it took him five years to recover his mobility.
"Then, he joined the chaotic battle and took advantage of the chaos. He hijacked a medical starship and jumped to the Swooping Eagle Space Zone first.
"He knew that the Swooping Eagle Space Zone was very dangerous. Therefore, he did not leave any traces there and snuck into the Mystic Cloud Space Zone directly.
"In the Mystic Cloud Space Zone, perhaps because the repulsion between the soul and the body was too strong, he had to steal a batch of drugs that could pacify the soul.
"Then, he left the Mystic Cloud Space Zone and snuck into the neighboring Dawn Moon Space Zone.
"The Dawn Moon Space Zone was just a transit station. Besides, it was a tourist attraction. There was no magical equipment industry there. He failed to find what he was looking for.
"Therefore, he jumped to the Triple Bright Space Region and finally obtained two Great Goose VII mine communicators. With these communicators, he could communicate with another person or organization without Ling. It was convenient for him to give or receive certain orders."
"Please look, everybody. Spider, Flying Eagle, Mystic Cloud, Dawn Moon, and Three Stars. In only half a month, he had fled to five space zones as fast as lightning. If we hadn't grasped the key clues and had the help of the star brain, we wouldn't have been able to lock onto him at all!
"As expected of the Pirate Potentate in the past. It's a pity that he couldn't get away from us in the end!"
The Immortal Cultivator who asked the question first raised his hand again. "Excuse me, Fellow Cultivator Xiao. I have to be in the Furious Bears Union before three o 'clock. Otherwise, it will raise suspicion. Can you tell us the conclusion directly? Where is he running to, and what is his purpose?"
"Running to?"
Xiao Yushan smiled. Dozens of mystic rays interweaved into a star map in front of him. Dozens of space zones were revolving slowly in the sea of stars like dozens of translucent glass beads.
Five of the beads were pierced through by a gold thread.
"This is the target's route of action."
The gold thread extended all the way to the center of the sea of stars, until it pierced into a small, nested glass bead.
"This is Heavenly Saints City."
