Hunting the Transcendent

The little girl Lele died, looking pitiful. Her small figure with tear stains seemed to still be lingering in his mind. Wang Xuan was in a bad mood, and now someone was trying to kidnap him!

Which faction is this?

"Can it kill Great Grandmaster? You have several robots. Why don't you move away from me and choose one or two to self-destruct to see if it really has that much power?"

The robot was indifferent and emotionless, and spoke in a cold voice, "Human, you are trampling on my dignity. I am an intelligent robot, not an old robot from a hundred years ago. I will not allow you to insult my personality."

He uttered mechanical words and then directly displayed a 3D image. Instantly, the area within a radius of hundreds of meters was covered in light, burning, and the ground collapsed, turning into lava.

"See this? This is the simulation result. Even Great Grandmaster will die. If you insist on being an enemy of the great Mechanical Race, then I will enforce the Eighth Law and erase all physical traces of your humanity."

Wang Xuan was somewhat lost in thought. When he first arrived at New Star, he met a short-haired, refreshing and neat female guide in Yuan City. The two chatted very congenially along the way, and he later learned that she was Zhao 1025.

He couldn't help but sigh with admiration; the robots from New Star were indeed very intelligent.

"Fine, I'll go with you." Wang Xuan was in a bad mood. He had just returned to New Star when he learned of the little girl's death, and now there were still people who were brazenly targeting him like this.

He wanted to see who dared to stretch their reach so far, and was prepared to chop them off!

"It's a pleasure to serve you. We are now formally informing you that you are now our prisoner. Please cooperate."

Wang Xuan, who had been frowning and about to go to their lair to kill the main culprit, was actually angry but couldn't bring himself to be angry after hearing these words.

"I'm a little tired, can you find a car to take me?"

"As a prisoner, you have the right to make certain requests, and this... can be granted." The five robots clicked and transformed, forming a metallic off-road vehicle.

Wang Xuan got into the car without saying a word, staring blankly out the window at the Zhou River.

The off-road vehicle traveled along the riverbank at a high speed, heading towards the Cloud Mist Plateau to the west of Yuan City, a place that was completely untouched.

We hadn't reached our destination by sunset.

It's now the end of the starfish migration season. In the night, a few fish take flight, like tiny lanterns released into the air, emitting a soft glow.

Wang Xuan watched in silence. He realized that while he could be as hard as iron when fighting the enemy, his heart softened when he thought of the weak and pitiful people.

He was too late; he couldn't save the child. The starfish emitted a hazy glow, as if reflecting the child's fragile yet pure face, tearful yet trying to smile.

"How much longer? Will dinner be served?" Wang Xuan asked impatiently.

"We've arrived," the off-road vehicle responded. They entered the dense forest, where the ride became increasingly bumpy. Finally, the metal wheels under the vehicle transformed into claw arms, and they began to run through the mountains.

The Cloud Mist Plateau is the largest uninhabited area in the Central Continent, covering more than nine million square kilometers. When Wang Xuan first searched for the secret place, he accidentally entered this place and lived as a wild man for more than ten days.

This primeval forest is dotted with many secret bases belonging to conglomerates and related organizations, and contains various cruel and ruthless training camps.

A dozen minutes later, they arrived at their destination. A normal mountain wall had cracked open, revealing a dark portal, and the mechanical vehicle sped in.

As soon as we entered, the mountain wall closed again, and it was pitch black at first, so dark that we couldn't see our own hands in front of our faces. But soon the lights in the passage ahead came on again.

Wang Xuan immediately realized that this was not a good place. Along the way, he saw some corpses, carelessly discarded, with bones piled up everywhere. Some were hanging on the mountainside, and some were soaking in experimental vessels.

Is this a human experimentation site? Wang Xuan's eyes turned cold, and murderous intent surfaced.

The underground base is huge, and everything seen along the way seems to be the Experimental Product. Is it meant to intimidate first-time visitors, or is it just that they are too lazy to deal with it?

"Respected Grandmaster Wang, welcome to Training Camp No. 11," the robot said calmly.

Along the way, Wang Xuan saw some people who were fully armed and engaged in life-or-death combat with cold weapons.

There was also a shooting range underground, where some agile people in black were shooting and fighting, and some of them were actually shooting their competitors.

Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. This place was conducting cruel live experiments, and there was also a cold-blooded mercenary training camp? He had really come to a dangerous place this time!

In an open area, he saw several small spaceships, ready to break through the surface and join the battle at any moment.

"What organization are you?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Sorry, we do not have sufficient authority to answer." It was still the same mechanical and cold response.

After traveling a sufficient distance underground, the mechanical vehicle stopped and underwent dozens of scans and inspections, as it approached the critical area.

They passed through more than a dozen heavy metal doors, the kind of special alloy doors that even firearms could hardly blast open.

Wang Xuan's eyes were cold. It seemed that tonight he could eliminate some important figures, and at the very least, destroy this huge base. No matter which organization it was, the destruction of a well-equipped base built at great expense would be a painful blow to their heart!

After passing through numerous metal doors, they entered a technologically advanced area; they had arrived at the most important core area.

"Have a pleasant evening." The mechanical off-road vehicle transformed into a robot, leaving mechanical shackles on Wang Xuan's arms and legs to restrain him.

"Friendly reminder: please do not struggle. Even ten Great Grandmaster working together cannot break this alloy shackle."

Soon, four silver-white robots appeared ahead. These were highly advanced intelligent beings, each over six meters tall, capable of shooting down small spaceships!

As a top-tier individual among intelligent robots, it is extremely expensive to manufacture, as both its materials and energy systems are cutting-edge products.

This type of silver-white robot, if only one appears on the battlefield, is overwhelming; it is the template for future deep space warriors.

"It went surprisingly smoothly. Grandmaster Wang is quite pragmatic and didn't put up any futile resistance. This way, it saves both of us a lot of trouble."

A man in his thirties, with a strong physique and bright eyes, sat behind a metal table, calmly and composedly sizing up Wang Xuan.

"Who are you people?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Oh, we're old friends, Gray Blood organization. Our branch in the Old Earth sent some people to ask Mr. Wang for a head, but you refused and even killed some of our people, which caused quite an unpleasant situation," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

He stood up, nearly two meters tall, exuding power. Although he was smiling, his eyes held a coldness.

Wang Xuan's face darkened, and a murderous intent rose in his heart. He had met a true enemy. He had no good feelings towards this organization and wished he could uproot them.

Back in the Old Earth, he had encountered danger many times, all at the hands of this organization, which had repeatedly tried to assassinate him. Now they had kidnapped him, which was truly an escalation of their actions.

He's a grandmaster now, and these people still dare to target him; they're incredibly arrogant!

"Who paid you to do this this time, Little Song?" Wang Xuan said coldly.

The middle-aged man smiled but did not respond to the question.

He placed his hands on the metal table, looked down at Wang Xuan, and said, "Although you are a grandmaster, what are you? If our advanced robots were allowed to be taken to the Old Earth, you wouldn't exist now, and your head would have been borrowed long ago."

Wang Xuan looked at him coldly. Was this some kind of show of force? They kidnapped him and brought up old grievances. Were they trying to control him, their prisoner?

"You're very unwilling, aren't you? After all, he's a Grandmaster. How extraordinary! To have mastered Old Arts to such a high level, and at such a young age, he's truly a rising New Star on the other side of the Old Earth. It's a pity that times have changed. With the New Star sending out advanced robots, if it really comes down to a head-on confrontation, even a Grandmaster will be brutally killed!"

The middle-aged man, Zheng Hui, spoke, a cruel smile playing on his lips. His merciless attacks and ridicule of his opponent fully embodied the smugness of a victor.

Wang Xuan remained calm, ignoring him and showing no anger. He was focused on how to severely damage the Gray Blood organization and kill a few big fish!

The Gray Blood organization wields immense power in New Star, making it a giant in the underworld, with influence several orders of magnitude greater than in the Old Earth!

They have their own mercenary groups and even their own assassin training camps. Some say that there may be a large conglomerate behind them, and their strength is unfathomable.

"You secretly sent a message to Old Chen in the car, right? Yeah, as expected, we were actually waiting for you to contact him."

He looked down at Wang Xuan, a smile gradually spreading across his face, and said, "Actually, Grandmaster Wang, don't overestimate yourself. You're really nothing special. We don't care much about you this time; the one we really want to hunt down is Chen Yongjie!"

As he said this, he laughed heartily for the first time, without any pretense.

Wang Xuan's expression was cold. The other party knew that Old Chen was a superhuman, yet they still wanted to hunt him down. It seemed that this time the net they had set up was very large and tight, and its destructive power was probably extremely strong. It was destined to cause a huge commotion!

Wang Xuan still ignored him, because his spiritual realm had already detected that this was not his true form at all; he had no flesh and blood, he was a robot, a sinister being.

"This underground base looks vast, doesn't it? Chen Yongjie is coming. This is the battlefield we specially prepared for him. Anyway, this place has already been exposed. Other hostile organizations found out about it beforehand, so we're going to abandon it and leave it as Chen Yongjie's burial ground, ha!" The middle-aged man laughed loudly.

Wang Xuan devoted part of his attention to exploring this area; this time, he needed to make an example of someone to deter others!

He not only wants to kill the middle-aged man, but also to target and kill the high-ranking Gray Blood organization. If such a powerful force, comparable to a conglomerate, is truly shaken, it will definitely cause Major Earthquake and shock the groups associated with the New Star.

"I know you have a lot of confidence in Chen Yongjie. But you may not know that the waters of New Star are very deep. Even in a one-on-one fight, a superhuman is not invincible. For example, the Gray Blood organization, what is our highest goal? To become a god, the Gray Blood Divine Spirit! Today, Old Chen will become the material on the experimental table, waiting for his arrival to send us into the laboratory. Judging by the time, he probably won't keep us waiting for long, the curtain is about to be raised."

"Alright, let me see how the Gray Blood organization kills Old Chen. I look forward to the start of this grand show!" Wang Xuan withdrew the portion of his spiritual power that he had released, his eyes shining brightly.

He was genuinely curious to know what other methods they might have besides their incredibly lethal weapons. Did the New Star possess any so-called "gods"?
