Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 355 - 260: True Qi Condensation Form, A 70-Meter Cold Sword Light

"That’s right. This is the first and foremost duty for us of the Divine Sealing Bloodline. Everything else, whether it’s dealing with the Ancient Ones or the Sleepers, or stopping Secret Organizations from interfering in the mundane world, must be put on the back burner."

"The matter of the Antarctic Array Map is of the utmost importance. The ruins in the Mediterranean Region most likely hold crucial secrets regarding Earth Immortal Undying and the Severed Communication. We must seize control of this. We cannot allow anyone—be they the Ancient Ones or the people of this era—to obtain those secrets."

"We need to be wary of both the Secret Organizations and the people of this era. However, as it stands, the Secret Organizations pose a greater threat. Since they are hostile to the people of this era, we can indeed use this to our advantage and bring them over to our side."

The elegant woman nodded and said.

Everyone nodded slightly.

Two hundred years ago, they still held immense suppressive power over the Secret Organizations. This was another reason why various Secret Organizations and Corpse Dissolving Immortals did not dare to easily interfere in the mundane world.

In recent years, their Divine Sealing Bloodline has gradually lost ground to the Secret Organizations. In this battle for the ruins, it is highly probable that they will be unable to stop the Secret Organizations’ actions.

Therefore, they had no choice but to bring in outside help to strengthen themselves.

In their heyday, they would never have done such a thing.

They have to be wary of both the Secret Organizations and the people of this era. After all, weren’t the members of those very organizations once "people of this era" themselves?

In the face of immortality and the higher mystical techniques of life, no one could resist the temptation.

"Then, what level of Fruit Position should we dispatch to make contact with the people of this era?"

The young man with the Asian face said.

Although he was the one who first proposed the plan to contact the people of this era, he still had to consider the opinions of the others present.

"Let’s dispatch a ’Celestial General’. They have enough status to make decisions and enough power to act as a deterrent. When contacting the people of this era, we must use both a carrot and a stick; we cannot simply make concessions."

"Since some things are becoming harder and harder to hide in this day and age, some of the Secret Organizations’ methods are worth adopting. That is, we need to make the people of this era understand our strength."

The stooped old man, his entire head wrapped in white gauze, spoke, his voice resonant.

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"..."

One by one, hands were raised, agreeing with the stooped old man’s proposal.

「At the same time, in the Eastern Mediterranean Region.」

"Ms. Zhou, we have already arranged accommodations for you."

An Asian man in plain clothes said respectfully to Zhou Qingchen. He was an operative from the Special Security Bureau assigned specifically to the Mediterranean Region.

Zhou Qingchen nodded slightly, not refusing. She had just arrived in the Mediterranean Region and indeed needed to get a handle on the local situation.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

Just then, Zhou Qingchen’s phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out and saw an intelligence report about Devi being attacked and, in turn, killing four incarnations of the Ancient Ones.

"So that guy managed to take the lead," Zhou Qingchen said, frowning slightly.

"Hm?!"

Suddenly, Zhou Qingchen’s expression tightened, and her gaze shot toward a spot not far to her side.

"AH!!"

"Someone jumped!"

"..."

Just then, a commotion of shocked cries erupted from the direction Zhou Qingchen was looking, and the crowd scattered.

From the roof of a six or seven-story building, two figures leaped down in full view of the crowd.

THUD! THUD!!

However, the gory scene everyone imagined did not occur. The ground suddenly shook and the concrete cracked, but the two figures who had leaped from the tall building were completely unharmed. Amidst the astonished gazes of the scattering crowd, they slowly walked toward Zhou Qingchen.

"Ms. Zhou?"

Seeing this, the operative realized something, his expression changing slightly.

"You all fall back. Clear out an area of two hundred meters."

Zhou Qingchen said coolly, her voice exceptionally cold and a sharp light glinting in her eyes.

’Devi Punk was attacked by four incarnations of the Ancient Ones, yet when it’s my turn, they only send a measly two?!’

’They’re really looking down on me.’

Zhou Qingchen had always been fiercely competitive; how could she tolerate such an insult?

"To have noticed our presence so quickly... you have some sharp instincts. What’s this? I remember you’re a Martial Artist known for your speed. Aren’t you going to try and run?"

"But it’s useless even if you do run. It would just be a waste of effort."

Among the newcomers, a shapely Caucasian woman spoke with a smile. As she talked, specks of starlight flickered around her, the brilliant light condensing into the shapes of cards that continuously circled her.

The originally bright sky rapidly dimmed, as if all the light in the heavens was being absorbed by the cards around her.

’An Astrologer from the Abyss Court.’

Zhou Qingchen’s eyes narrowed slightly. She could sense that the darkness in the sky was not just an illusion. In an instant, the woman’s magnetic field techniques had already enveloped a vast area, causing a disturbance throughout the surrounding space.

If someone with an ability like Devi’s Eye of God were present, they would be able to see that the sky had, at some unknown point, filled with countless intersecting threads, each one connected to every person present.

"Let’s make this quick," the other Caucasian man said coolly.

VMM!!

Three blazing, blue-green lights flared up in his upper, middle, and lower Dantians respectively, and his entire body visibly withered at a speed discernible to the naked eye.

"Tsk. Do you really need to go all out for a mere junior? Don’t you care about this incarnation? Oh, right. You’re from the Pioneer Group. You must have plenty more of these. No wonder you aren’t bothered by the cost. The comparison is just infuriating."
