185: Xiao Suantian

Inner World, Central Plaza.

Lin Xingyu had just finished reorganizing his forces.

The Three-Eyed Clan members had returned to continue their previous mission.

The Heaven-Peeking Legion was receiving the mech army… Just then, his wristband suddenly vibrated.

“Buzz—”

After connecting the communication, Black Eye’s deep voice came from within:

“Master, the Formation has been set up…”

After ending the communication, Lin Xingyu looked at the crowd.

“Now, let’s assign the combat missions!”

“The Heaven-Peeking Legion is responsible for attacking the World Purifying Society’s base!”

“You must destroy the base as quickly as possible and seize all materials.”

Currently, the main forces of the World Purifying Society were active around Zhu Lang City, leaving their base’s defenses weak—a perfect opportunity for a raid.

He paused, then continued:

“The Guard Legion will act with me!”

“Objective: disrupt the World Purifying Society’s sacrificial plan and seize the essence blood!”

With his command, his army swiftly moved into action.

Luo Chengan and the others led the mech army to teleport near the World Purifying Society’s base, awaiting Lin Xingyu’s attack signal.

Lin Xingyu, meanwhile, took Wang Ledian and the others to teleport near Zhu Lang City.

“Let’s begin!”

He looked at Wang Chiyao and nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chiyao waved her hand, and countless Explosion Bees were summoned.

Lin Xingyu opened numerous teleportation gates, deploying the Explosion Bees across the entire area.

They would conduct reconnaissance, reporting real-time situations.

After completing all this, the group disguised themselves as World Purifying Society members and came to Black Eye’s side, quietly awaiting the opportune moment… Not long after, a commotion suddenly erupted outside.

An old man in a grey robe, surrounded by several guards, was walking towards them.

The old man had deep-set eyes and held a precise instrument in his hand, its screen constantly displaying various data.

“Elder Xiao, why did you come personally?”

Black Eye’s expression changed slightly, and he hurried forward to greet him.

Xiao Suantian, a renowned researcher in the World Purifying Society and the owner of an S-rank Spirit Seed [Supercomputer].

He could process a massive amount of information simultaneously, excelling particularly in deduction and calculation.

His appearance stirred an ominous premonition in Black Eye’s heart.

“The Hall Master ordered me to conduct the final inspection! This mission is of utmost importance, and there can be no mistakes!”

Xiao Suantian’s voice was calm.

He was responsible for the final check, preventing any issues with the Formation.

Black Eye’s heart sank, but he still respectfully said:

“With Elder Xiao overseeing it, it will naturally be foolproof.”

Xiao Suantian said no more and began to slowly pace around the Formation.

The instrument in his hand occasionally emitted probing beams, scanning back and forth, as data streamed rapidly across the screen.

Black Eye stood not far away, his heart pounding, feeling every second stretch into an eternity.

He knew all too well the consequences of being discovered.

The operation would be canceled, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Just then, Xiao Suantian suddenly paused at a node in the southeast corner.

That was precisely where Wei Xuan had made alterations.

Everyone’s hearts instantly leaped to their throats, and a tense atmosphere permeated the air.

Xiao Suantian leaned down to meticulously examine the inscriptions, the data on his instrument flashing wildly.

Something was wrong, very wrong.

The patterns here had subtle differences from the design blueprint, yet their effects were vastly different.

Such a huge discrepancy didn’t seem like an operational error; it looked more like deliberate… Thinking of this, Xiao Suantian’s heart sank, and the corner of his eye swept over Black Eye and the others.

Although they were well hidden, under the precise calculations of the [Supercomputer], many flaws were still exposed.

Their muscles were tense, ready to erupt at any moment, and their spiritual energy was active… If he exposed them now, he was very likely to be silenced.

The most urgent task was to stabilize these people.

Preserve his own life, and then find a way to transmit the message.

In a flash of lightning, Xiao Suantian had made his decision.

He straightened up, his expression unchanged, and walked to the next node, continuing his inspection… Time passed minute by minute, and Xiao Suantian finally completed his inspection of the entire Formation.

“Captain Black Eye, your work is excellent. Everything here is normal; you can proceed as planned!”

He put away his instrument, his tone calm.

“There’s nothing more for me here. I still need to rush to the next location to continue my inspection.”

With that, he turned and walked out with his guards.

“Elder Xiao, take care.”

Black Eye’s suspended heart finally settled, watching them leave… Ten minutes later, several kilometers away.

Xiao Suantian confirmed no one was around before stopping.

“Fortunately, they didn’t discover…”

He exhaled, pulled out his communicator, and was about to contact the Hall Master.

Suddenly, a streak of light flashed.

His wrist went numb, and the communicator was knocked away.

The next moment, a large number of Puppets instantly appeared, surrounding them.

“Oh, isn’t this old Xiao? Who are you so eager to contact?”

A frivolous voice came from mid-air; it was Wang Ledian.

Lin Xingyu and his group descended from the sky, looking at him with a playful expression.

“You… discovered it long ago?”

Xiao Suantian’s face was grim.

Looking at this Formation, the other party was clearly prepared long ago.

“Of course! Brother Xingyu is so clever; he noticed something was off about you a long time ago!”

Wang Chiyao skipped forward, her face full of pride.

“If you kill me, the Hall Master will soon notice the anomaly!”

Xiao Suantian’s face was ashen, but he still feigned composure.

The Hall Master needed his confirmation before activating the Formation.

Once he lost contact, it would inevitably raise an alarm.

“How about you let me go, and I’ll cover for you…”

However, before he could finish his sentence, Lin Xingyu interrupted him.

The star ray shuttle flashed, and the guards instantly fell to the ground, thrown into his Inner World.

Immediately after, Lin Xingyu took out an apostle fruit and handed it to Xiao Suantian.

“Eat this! You’re getting off easy!”

He had specifically kept one for emergencies.

He hadn’t expected it to be useful so quickly.

Xiao Suantian’s spirit seed was very special; he could serve him in the research center.

Giving him an apostle fruit wasn’t a loss.

Seeing this, Xiao Suantian could only helplessly take the apostle fruit and swallow it whole.

Given the current situation, struggling was useless; it was better to cooperate honestly.

Based on his analysis and calculations, the other party would most likely not take his life.

Instead, they would control him and make him work for them.

“As expected, a smart person.”

Lin Xingyu nodded in satisfaction.

“We’ll discuss other matters later; right now, I need you to…”

He briefly informed Xiao Suantian of the situation.

He needed the other party to stabilize the World Purifying Society and ensure the plan proceeded smoothly…
