Close to Ning Wushuang's chest, there were four metal patches that were as thin as paper. A few simple rune arrays had been carved on them. Their only purpose was to receive the telepathic thoughts of the four experts including Luoxingzi.
According to their agreement, the four Yuanying experts would send a signal to him every second. As long as the signal was received, the metal patches would remain quiet.
But if no signal was received after three seconds, the metal patches would vibrate feebly like a heartbeat.
It meant that the telepathic thoughts of the four Yuanying experts were jammed at the same time.
Under normal circumstances, such a thing would never happen.
Time went by one second after another. Although Ning Wushuang tried to control his pores, cold sweat was still popping up on his forehead.
At this moment, the 'deal' between Si Koulie and Bai Xinghe had begun. If everything was normal after ten minutes, it would mean that Xiao Xuance was not an Immortal Cultivator and that it was just a false alarm.
Then, they would retreat quietly after the 'maintenance' of Heavenly Phantom, and Xiao Xuance would not know that such a 'test' had taken place.
Maybe they would announce everything after Spider Den was suppressed and the Temple of Immortals was eliminated. But by then, everything would be peaceful.
Most Cultivators did not believe in gods, because to some extent, they were the 'gods' in the eyes of the ordinary people in the ancient times.
However, at this moment, Ning Wushuang, as a Yuanying expert, could not help but pray to the gods who had been protecting human beings and not cause any trouble.
However, halfway through his prayer, the metal patch on his chest began to vibrate slightly.
For a moment, Ning Wushuang's heart was completely frozen. The metal patches seemed to have turned into hundreds of cold bugs that crawled into his heart.
The telepathic thoughts of the four Yuanying experts have been jammed!
Xiao Xuance is really an Immortal Cultivator!
Ning Wushuang almost cursed in his heart, but he held himself back for one second. He snapped his fingers and sent an order to the tactical crystal processor.
The tactical crystal processor that everybody in the 'maintenance team' was wearing. They had all been issued before the operation. Hundreds of orders had been stored in it.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion if they checked the hologram, every member of the operation team had a hole in their ear canal that was close to their eardrums. They were all implanted with a mini broadcast rune array.
Following Ning Wushuang's instructions, a voice that only they could hear came from the array that shook their eardrums.
"It's an emergency. Stay calm. This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill! "
"Xiao Xuance has defected and been confirmed as the leader of the Immortal Cultivators. The Grand Illusionary Soldier Project is probably a scheme!"
"Right now, Xiao Xuance is being hunted. Everything is under control. Your mission is to control the bridge, the star brain, and Heavenly Phantom!
Ning Wushuang could clearly feel it. A lot of people behind him shook slightly, and the spiritual waves they released were somewhat disordered.
However, these Cultivators were all people with extraordinary willpower, firm souls and extremely calm minds.
This was also the main reason why they were chosen to carry out this mission.
A second later, everyone calmed down.
Ning Wushuang heaved a sigh of relief, but her heaving chest was unable to calm down.
At this moment, the fate of Heavenly Saints City, if not the entire Flying Star Sector, was in her hands.
There couldn't be too many Immortal Cultivators. They were definitely no match for the Cultivators in a head-on collision. The only thing that could be used was the Grand Illusionary Soldiers.
However … The Grand Illusionary Soldiers had to be connected to the enormous database of the star brain and retrieve the battle data of the Cultivators stored in the Grand Illusionary Land in order to unleash their full combat ability.
As long as the star brain was under control, they could even blow it up if necessary. The rebellion of the Immortal Cultivators would be extinguished while it was still burning!
Ning Wushuang smiled naturally. She relaxed and walked toward the captain of the Heavenly Phantom.
Right now, they had the upper hand. The enemy shouldn't know that their identities had been exposed yet.
As he expected, the captain of Heavenly Phantom was not alarmed at all. Seeing that Ning Wushuang was coming close, he simply frowned, with deep confusion in his eyes. He did not understand why such a minor collision was worth such a big fuss.
There were only five meters between the two of them.
The entire bridge suddenly shook slightly, as if it had been hit by another collision or a minor cosmic storm.
But it calmed down in three to five seconds. Want? See?
Ning Wushuang was dazed.
Naturally, it was impossible for a cosmic storm to take place in the central area of Heavenly Saints City. In their plan, no crystal warships would crash into them again, either.
What was the shaking about exactly?
The captain of Heavenly Phantom seemed to be dumbfounded by the sudden shaking. He looked at Ning Wushuang in confusion and walked to him while he asked, "Fellow Cultivator Ning, what's going on?"
A mini broadcast rune array had been implanted deep inside Ning Wushuang's ears, too. Right now, devastating noises were echoing. "Not good. An unprecedented explosion took place in the headquarters of the Grand Illusionary Group!
"The explosion affected one square kilometer nearby and destroyed two blocks. The headquarters of the Grand Illusionary Group has been reduced to an ocean of fire. The Grand Illusionary Plaza has completely vanished!"
Ning Wushuang felt that his head was dizzy, and he almost fell over.
The headquarters of the Grand Illusionary Group was probably the nest of the Immortal Cultivators, too. When he entered Heavenly Phantom, an operation team of an even larger scale, which consisted of more than twenty experts above Jin Dan's level, had entered the Grand Illusionary Plaza to take over the Grand Illusionary Group!
Right now, a great explosion had taken place in the Grand Illusionary Group. Even the crystal warships floating in the space ports dozens of kilometers away sensed the intense spiritual waves.
Just how strong was this explosion?!
Could the Cultivators who entered the Grand Illusionary Group survive?
Having no time to be shocked, Ning Wushuang's head was shrieking. It took him only one second to realize that he had been exposed!
Strike first and gain the upper hand!
Ning Wushuang gritted his teeth and stepped forward. While summoning his Crystal Suit, he attacked the captain of Heavenly Phantom!
However, the moment before he moved, the captain of Heavenly Phantom, who had been walking close slowly, suddenly accelerated. He turned into a streak of brightness and launched an overwhelming attack.
The aggressive attacks were far beyond the limits of the peak of the Core Formation Stage. He did not look like an admin-type Cultivator at all. Instead …
An extremely strong battle-type Cultivator in the high level of the Yuanying Stage!
"Shua!"
It was a well-structured and graceful suit. The glamorous Crystal Suit gradually covered Ning Wushuang's entire body.
However, when it reached his chest, it could not be sealed at all.
This was because a thick and powerful arm had already pierced through Ning Wushuang's chest and dug out his heart. He was burnt into ashes.
The furious spiritual energy was raging inside Ning Wushuang's body like a flood. All his chances of survival were cut off before he had the chance to trigger the capability of the Yuanying Stage.
Ning Wushuang did not even have the time to be surprised before his facial muscles were frozen, and his eyes lost their brilliance.
He had thought that the guy would at least look at him and say something to him.
But the guy simply stared at him coldly, whose eyes were as thin as the edge of a blade. The guy's lips were closed quietly, showing no sign of opening at all.
Before the darkness completely arrived, Ning Wushuang only saw that the guy's facial muscles were twisting, and his face was changing nonstop. His eyes became narrow and long, extending to his temples.
Deep inside his eyes, two bloody lotuses were blossoming.
Pa! Da!
Ning Wushuang's body fell to the ground helplessly, cramping softly.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! The whole process of slaughter took only one second. Before the Cultivators realized what was going on, the gate of the bridge had been closed, and the maintenance channels above were all opened. Hundreds of Grand Illusionary Soldiers jumped down incessantly.
They were the Grand Illusionary Soldiers. Entirely different from the Grand Illusionary Soldiers that the major sects were equipped with right now, they were all more than 2.2 meters tall. Vague purple and gold brightness was beaming out of their bodies. The six crystal eyes around their heads were not emitting monotonous brilliance but bouncing flames. They seemed to boast real souls.
Because there was no need to accommodate a human being in the middle, the Grand Illusionary Soldiers could install more crystals and larger crystal reactors inside their bodies without any concern, triggering the most intense storm of spiritual energy!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Every Grand Illusionary Soldier was riddled with dense holes. At this moment, flames of light were spurting out of the holes and gradually condensing into translucent muscles, veins, and nerves, making the Grand Illusionary Soldiers even taller, more intimidating, and more intimidating than before!
Around the bridge, the soldiers who had been operating anxiously before all tore off their camouflage, revealing the hideous faces of battle-type Immortal Cultivators.
The captain of Heavenly Phantom had turned into a completely different person, a man who was a mixture of calmness and zeal, realism and fantasy, sordidness and brutality.
Xiao Xuance, the Immortal Cultivator!
Xiao Xuance's eyes did not stop on the Cultivators' operation team for half a second. He had been staring at the wall of the bridge, as if his eyes could see through the thick plate armor and the stars in the distance.
He raised his right hand and slashed down. "Kill them all!"
In three minutes, the battle was over. Blood was flowing like a river on the bridge.
Xiao Xuance could have floated in midair and drifted over.
But he still chose to step on the blood and the dead bodies and strode forward with his head held high, leaving a trail of bloody footprints, into the control room of the star brain behind the bridge.
The ignorant Xiao Tianbao was still operating crazily under the cover of the star brain with a grin.
Xiao Yushan stepped forward and stood at attention. He raised his right arm and said, "Everything is ready. The 'New Era Plan' can be activated at any moment!"
Pausing for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "However, the operation is too hasty. Many fellow Cultivators are not ready yet. It is not entirely foolproof."
He had been brought up by Xiao Xuance and was like Xiao Xuance's grandson. Now that he had become Xiao Xuance's second secretary, his most important responsibility was to speak frankly and express all his concerns.
"There's no time."
Xiao Xuance narrowed his eyes, the lotuses inside his eyes shivering. "Bai Xinghe's move is indeed quite vicious. Whichever path I choose, my fate will be in his hands!
"Besides, Bai Xinghe is able to summon the Star Fighters' Alliance and the six sects of Heavenly Saints City, which means that there must be a stronger force behind him!
"I guarantee that, even if I don't carry out the assassination today and let them find no evidence, the force behind Bai Xinghe will still propose a motion of no confidence in me during the morale-boosting meeting. They will try everything they can to stop the final battle from happening!
"With everything coming to this point, our entire organization has done its best. We are on the verge of being exposed and cannot afford any investigation.
"Therefore, whether I carry out the assassination or stay put, it will be a wrong choice. Both options will lead to a dead end!
"The only correct choice is to take action in advance!
"Hehe. Bai Xinghe is indeed the Pirate Potentate. The chess game that he has set up is so delicate that it is almost flawless!
"It is a pity that I am the uncrowned king of the Flying Star Sector. Is a leader of space pirates qualified to play chess with me?
