Artillery Fire Raged Across the Sky

"We've dealt with each other many times. The fact that you came to deliver this message at this time shows that you trust this old man."

Old Wang said with satisfaction.

He waved to a young woman who was wearing a white lab coat and looked like a researcher.

"Bring over those two bottles of Tier 3 potions, one bottle of Tier 2 potion, and a Essence of Life."

The young woman frowned. "Old Wang, I need to remind you that this is against the rules."

This woman clearly has some status, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken to the high-ranking and powerful Old Wang in such a manner.

Old Wang nodded solemnly. "If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility."

The young woman shrugged and turned to leave.

"There are almost no drugs circulating on the market recently because the Three Great Powers have joined forces to control them, eliminating most possibilities."

"Even the official authorities need to report up and down the chain of command when allocating supplies. Someone of my rank can't make decisions on their own. I hope you understand."

Although Old Wang said that, he still mobilized several bottles of medicine, as well as that Essence of Life.

Chen Wang said, "I understand."

This Gene Serum was extremely rare to begin with; let alone the second or third tier, even the first tier was very difficult to obtain.

After the crackdown, the situation became even more serious, and the circulation of any medicines on the market was prohibited!

This "market" refers to the Black Market. While the Black Market might sound like a lawless place, it's actually governed by strict rules; otherwise, it wouldn't exist.

However, the rules are relatively weak, and many prohibited items are circulating.

Yet, even in such a place, you can't buy a level one potion.

This demonstrates the severity of official control.

The young woman in the white coat quickly approached, carrying a box with official markings— the Morning Star Research Institute logo.

"Third Order Genetic Potion Mind Master, Third Order Genetic Potion Firebird, a Tier 2 Marksman, and a vial of Essence of Life are all here," the young woman said.

Old Wang nodded.

The woman in the white coat turned and left after she finished speaking.

This woman is actually quite good-looking; her figure is still curvaceous even under her white coat, but she is somewhat old-fashioned and ascetic.

After she left, Old Wang said to Chen Wang, "I don't need to introduce the potions in detail. Mind Master enhance their mental power, Firebird control flames, and this Essence of Life can enhance vitality and increase physical recovery ability. It's very precious, so don't use it recklessly. It can save your life in critical moments."

Although Old Wang spoke casually, Chen Wang could sense that what Old Wang said at the end was the key point.

He also has a Essence of Life, but he hasn't used it yet.

"This is amazing. I wonder how it compares to the Returning Spring Pill?" Chen Wang thought to himself.

"Thank you, Old Wang," Chen Wang said with a smile.

Old Wang waved his hand. "No need for thanks. There are still many things to do here, so I won't keep you any longer. Be careful. No matter how strong your personal strength is, you will be at a disadvantage when facing large-scale firearms and military attacks."

Chen Wang nodded.

To his surprise, the old man who held great power in the Qiongqi Mining Shelter never revealed any intention to recruit him into the war.

Despite the imminent attack from the Church, the old man still proceeded with his illegal use of Gene Serum and precious Essence of Life, and warned himself to be careful.

"There was no explicit recruitment, but they offered a high reward for killing Church expert and showed humane concern," Chen Wang thought to himself.

He had initially thought the Church was operating covertly, accumulating strength, and that the Qiongqi Mining Shelter was now in dire straits and on the verge of collapse.

But after meeting Old Wang at the official organization building this time, Chen Wang was somewhat unsure.

"I don't know who will come out on top."

The thought crossed his mind.

Gene Warrior sometimes serve as vanguards, but at the same time, this Great Winter World still relies on the military and large-scale weapons of war.

Chen Wang's previous experience was essentially a solo combat mode, similar to that of a special forces soldier or a top-tier soldier. This mode was extremely effective for decapitation strikes or small-scale killings, but large-scale attacks were far from this.

What Old Wang said made sense, and Chen Wang drove away.

He had just driven back to his residence when he heard a buzzing roar from the sky!

He looked up and saw a helicopter flying in the distance.

Not only that, with a loud bang, a bomb landed in the Qiongqi Mining Shelter and exploded suddenly, sending a mushroom cloud soaring into the sky!

"The war has begun!"

Chen Wang frowned. In an instant, the Qiongqi Mining Shelter was engulfed in gunfire, and people were in a panic, running around in all directions!

Chen Wang got out of the car and went to a secluded place. Seeing that no one was around, he returned to the Cultivation World.

"Although fortune favors the bold, under such large-scale firepower, with many soldiers carrying light and heavy weapons to attack, there is no need to fight in this situation."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

The Church came with great force, and they also had men lying in ambush in the city.

On the surface, Qiongqi Mining seems to be in a dangerous situation, given the large-scale firepower coverage...

Before he left, he saw helicopters and armored vehicles rushing towards him, indicating that he was likely going to be trapped.

However, Old Wang's calm demeanor suggested he was somewhat prepared, making it difficult to predict how this battle would unfold.

"Last time, the Apocalypse Armaments Shelter fell, and this time they've set their sights on Qiongqi Mining. The Church is truly a bunch of warmongers."

Chen Wang sighed.

After returning to the Cultivation World from the Winter, Chen Wang planned to wait until things calmed down before going back.

"If it's destroyed, we'll just have to find another place to live."

In the Winter, amidst the raging flames of war, a conflict erupted.

However, after Chen Wang returned to the Cultivation World, he only relaxed slightly. The Cultivation World itself was also rife with undercurrents.

Someone specifically targeted the disciples of the Red Cloud Sect, resulting in a bloody incident that also affected independent cultivators.

"Hopefully, something will happen to the Red Cloud Sect later, otherwise both sides' mines will explode at the same time."

Chen Wang sighed.

Cultivators have long lifespans, and it is possible for two sects to fight for several years or even decades. It is also common for some sects to fight each other for hundreds of years.

"As long as Red Cloud Old Ancestor doesn't get into trouble, there shouldn't be any major turmoil at the Red Cloud Sect."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

However, this is not absolute. For example, those other forces that wanted to attack the Pill Refining Peak before, who knows what they were up to?

"The key is to focus on improving your strength and keep a low profile to minimize your presence."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He had already killed several disciples of the Five Poisons Sect, as well as several powerful rogue cultivators, thus unknowingly incurring their wrath.

"No, I also killed one from the Red Cloud Sect, but he was a traitor, so it doesn't count."

Chen Wang silently analyzed the situation and realized that he had done things relatively cleanly and hadn't left any trace of his past.

However, he still felt a sense of crisis. He could handle Qi Refining stage cultivators, but he wasn't guaranteed a complete victory. What if Foundation Establishment Realm stage cultivator joined the fight? Chen Wang took a deep breath.

"A time of great turmoil."
