Storm

"The Sun family has a discerning eye in the field of Old Arts. They are absolutely certain that the young man named Wang Xuan is stronger than Chen Yongjie and is the number one dangerous person. Therefore, they are determined to kill him first, regardless of the consequences!" someone deduced.

Otherwise, they won't be able to explain why they suddenly deployed warships, and they'll have to pay the price afterward.

"The Sun family is ruthless and decisive. Once they anticipate that the young man will truly pose a threat to them, they strike with lightning speed. That's the style of the old guys in the Sun family!"

Many people in Su City were mobilized. People from different organizations rushed to the scene immediately, each carrying a robot to scan the area, and finally confirmed that Wang Xuan had not survived.

In fact, there were various detectors nearby that had been monitoring the area, and they hadn't seen him escape at all.

"Old Wang is dead?!" That evening, Zhong Cheng was stunned, he simply couldn't believe it. He had met him just yesterday, and tonight he heard such terrible news.

"My heart can't take it!" Zhou Yun was on the New Moon. He had been in a good mood these past two days and had even spread the word to retaliate against Song Kun and Sun Yichen, who had ridiculed him.

So now, Wang Xuan has been targeted and eliminated by the Sun family?!

"Zhou Yun, your friend Wang Xuan, who was suspected of being an extraordinary being, was accidentally killed by us. Life is so fragile, we should cherish it. I'm sorry, I didn't expect extraordinary beings to be so weak."

That night, Sun Yichen sent Zhou Yun a voice message, blatantly trying to stir up trouble and annoy Zhou Yun.

Soon, rumors spread that a wise person in the Sun family had determined that Wang Xuan was exceptional, comparable to the geniuses of the brilliant ancient times.

This evaluation is a bit too high, which moved all parties involved. This is why the Sun family immediately decided to use warships.

However, the Sun family quickly denied it, seemingly unwilling to give the deceased Wang Xuan too much praise, and simply told outsiders that it was an accident.

"The young people in the family are immature and impulsive, and they accidentally caused this situation."

Someone from the Sun family said calmly, downplaying it.

They didn't seem to care much about Wang Xuan, and accidentally killed him.

Some sighed, some remained silent. After all, it was no longer the glorious era of cultivators. No matter how amazing one's talent was, it was useless. This bloody ending told the whole story.

"A collision between the extraordinary and technology? What are you thinking!" In Pingyuan City, Qin Hong, from the Qin Family, took a small sip of wine and said, "Black technology is emerging one after another; at this stage, it can even kill Earth Immortals without hesitation. And the latest generation of Super Battleship is about to be unveiled; everything is already destined!"

The night was far from peaceful. A beam of light struck the buildings in Su City, and even the Sun family couldn't cover it up. The aftermath would be very troublesome.

Some conglomerates and large institutions put pressure on the Sun family, saying that they would not let the matter rest without offering a certain amount of benefits.

Above Su City, the massive warship sailed away, and the oppressive and tense atmosphere temporarily dissipated.

At this moment, a crescent New Moon hangs high in the sky, and the night sky, cloudless, is filled with brilliant stars, creating a beautiful night scene.

Wang Xuan was drifting down a large river, using his arms as a pillow, lying on his back with his hands behind his head, looking at the starry sky, and listening to the chirping of insects and the calls of night birds on the riverbank.

He was very relaxed, enjoying the rare tranquility of the night, able to drift freely without restraint, gazing at the starry sky and contemplating the brilliance of the universe.

Before the beam of light descended over Su City, Wang Xuan's head was throbbing with pain, almost triggering his Super-Sense, which made him realize immediately that immense danger was approaching.

He tore through the floor in the room, entered the underground drainage system, and sped away.

He was originally planning to strike tonight, but the sudden arrival of Killing Intent forced him to act ahead of schedule.

He entered the river that flowed through Su City through underground drainage channels, swam along the riverbed, and soon left the city.

Then he relaxed, lay on the river, looked at the mountains and forests on both sides, and gazed at the brilliance of the Milky Way, feeling peaceful and serene.

"Too slow, we need to speed it up!"

His destination was 150 miles downstream, and if he drifted freely downstream, he didn't know when he would arrive.

Wang Xuan dived into the deep water and used his powerful mental domain to capture a large fish weighing several hundred kilograms. It was bright red all over, resembling a red carp.

Unfortunately, the New Star lacks extraordinary matter, otherwise this giant red carp would most likely have become a spirit.

Wang Xuan sat on the red carp's back and used his spiritual power to intimidate it, causing it to rush downstream at top speed.

That night, in the shimmering river, a red carp weighing five or six hundred pounds swung its tail, leaping out of the water one moment and diving back in the next, its bright red color shining brilliantly under the stars and moon, a truly astonishing sight.

This way, saving time and effort, Wang Xuan sat on the back of the red carp, leisurely looking at the scenery on both banks, and felt that hunting in this way was a very pleasant journey.

When encountering cruise ships or cargo ships, the large red carp will intelligently sink to the bottom of the water to avoid being discovered.

The chirping of insects and the long cries of night birds filled the air on both banks. The red carp had already crossed countless mountains and traveled 150 miles downstream. It was truly a fast journey.

Before going ashore, Wang Xuan infused the red carp with some Mysterious Factor, patted its head, and let it go.

When Wang Xuan came ashore, it leaped out of the water, looked this way again and again, and then disappeared after a moment by wagging its tail.

This area, located 150 miles outside Su City, is a relatively pristine mountainous region with well-preserved natural features. Overall, the environment in New Star is quite good.

Wang Xuan used his powerful spiritual domain to search this area. He learned from the thoughts of the person in charge that the Sun family had built an underground base here.

Super-rich conglomerates are incredibly powerful and have built numerous military bases to protect themselves and deter others.

In the early days of secret development, they carved out the riverbed from the bottom towards the mountainside. Every time a huge cargo ship passed by, a lot of supplies would sink to the bottom of the river.

In the early years, this place was indeed a well-hidden base, but the technology of New Star was too advanced, and it was eventually detected.

Most families operate in the same way, keeping it a secret from the general public. Each family discovers the other's secret base but doesn't expose it.

The core executives of each company actually know the exact location of the other's base.

This base is somewhat special, and there are secrets hidden within it, which have been kept from everyone.

The Sun family had obtained a map of animal skin from the indigenous people in their early years. After finding this place and developing this mountainous area, they indeed discovered something unusual.

Deep underground lies frozen soil, blood-red in color. When they excavated this frozen soil, they extracted some mysterious components containing strange energy.

They built various underground laboratories in an attempt to utilize the extracted red crystal particles.

This stuff is terrifying. Long-term exposure can cause genetic mutations, with some people mutating for the better, while others die suddenly and tragically.

The Sun family attached great importance to this, using the military base as a cover to invest a large amount of money in various studies in the underground permafrost region.

The person in charge here is a direct descendant of the Sun family, a true high-ranking member, whose position is even higher than that of the deceased Sun Chengquan.

Therefore, Wang Xuan came not only to kill the direct descendants of the Sun family, but also to see what that red crystal was and what kind of strange energy it contained.

At the same time, he wanted to destroy the base!

It is understood that there is a medium-sized warship and eight small warships here, which alone cost more than 10 billion New Star Coin. If they are destroyed, the Sun family will definitely suffer a huge loss.

Not to mention the permafrost laboratory area deep underground that the Sun family values.

An hour later, Wang Xuan found the underground base in this vast mountainous area.

He climbed a towering tree, not daring to let all his spiritual energy leave his body, leaving a small portion behind. He feared that when he went far away, some beasts or birds of prey might approach his body, which would be dangerous.

Wang Xuan's spirit has gone far away; he not only found the entrance in the great river, but also discovered several entrances in the mountains.

He then went deep underground and immediately saw the medium-sized warship. Its cold metallic luster and massive hull gave it a very imposing presence.

He immediately lost his composure. This was the very warship that had bombarded him in Su City tonight. It had actually set off from here and returned to this place!

Wang Xuan stared indifferently. Today was truly a "fateful" day. If he didn't detonate it, he would be letting this discovery down.

He went deeper underground, and the temperature dropped lower and lower until he finally saw the frozen soil, which was indeed red, as if it had been stained with Blood Water.

There are numerous laboratories underground, staffed by a number of passionate researchers.

Not only did the experimental subjects mutate, but even some researchers' physical forms became strange, such as the expert with two heads and four arms.

Some of the test subjects were even more bizarre, with human heads and snake bodies, possessing immense strength. During strength tests, they even deformed iron doors that were several centimeters thick by whipping them with their tails.

"Red crystals, could they be the Passage Stone?" Wang Xuan frowned. The Ferryman Xu Fu had once told him that some Supernatural Civilization in the starry sky used the Passage Stone for cultivation.

Unlike the intense and terrifying radiation in the Deadlands, the Passage Stone is relatively mild and can be found on some Supernatural Planet.

"Why do I feel like there's a bloody smell about it?" Wang Xuan wondered again, "Could this frozen soil have been stained red with the blood of an ancient monster?"

The ancestors of the indigenous people were Transcendent Immortals, so this planet was definitely not simple in the past.

When Wang Xuan touched the red crystal particles, he didn't feel very good. There was a weak radiation, but also an aura of decaying life.

Wang Xuan stepped back, no longer wanting to engage, and withdrew directly from the permafrost region.

He found the person in charge of this base— Sun Chenghai, a powerful high-ranking member of the Sun family.

Without saying a word, Wang Xuan directly controlled him with his mental power. Instead of killing him immediately, he wanted to interrogate him and capture his thoughts with his mind.

"Alarm! Foreign invasion! Base commander has been apprehended! Self-destruct system is about to be activated!" The alarm blared throughout the entire base.

A chip was implanted in Sun Chenghai's body, which immediately detected his abnormality. He was also ruthless enough to issue a self-destruct command through the chip.

Although Wang Xuan managed to capture some of his mental signals immediately, it was too late to tear apart the chip inside his body; the instructions had already been transmitted.

This person is ruthless; he didn't hesitate at all.

Without hesitation, Wang Xuan snapped his neck!

This is the second high-ranking member of the Sun family's direct lineage that he killed!

In fact, the defenses here are astonishing. If it weren't for infiltrating with his spiritual body, Wang Xuan would have had no way to enter this base silently.

Even so, he still failed at the last hurdle, unable to properly interrogate Sun Chenghai, and now he had to leave.

Because if the underground base were to self-destruct, his physical body outside would also be affected.

"Alarm! The base commander has died under suspicious circumstances. It is 100% certain that he was killed by an external enemy. The countdown to the self-destruction of the laboratory and the base has begun." The alarm sounded throughout the entire base.

The Sun family is ruthless enough not to leave any experimental results for the invaders.

Chaos erupted at the base, with some attempting to activate the warships to escape.

Wang Xuan directly destroyed the main control system of the medium-sized warship, and also tore apart the main control rooms of several small warships.

He instantly returned to his physical body several miles away and fled wildly.

A massive explosion began in the mountains behind him!

As Wang Xuan walked away, he saw that the large carp in the water was still there. He immediately waved and sat on its back, then shot off into the distance like an arrow.

Explosions continued underground, eventually affecting warships and other vessels. With a deafening roar, terrifying light and fire erupted from the ground, destroying not only the underground but also the vast surrounding mountains, illuminating the entire sky.

This place is as bright as day!

Without a doubt, this is a storm that is about to escalate rapidly. The commotion here is so great that even Su City sensed the anomaly immediately!
