After hanging up the call, Lu Li suppressed his worries.
A $50 million deal certainly involves many things that need to be negotiated and handed over.
Jessica's presence definitely saved me a lot of energy.
Moreover, honing one's skills properly... can also prepare one for the future.
Once he becomes powerful enough, Lu Li no longer intends to hide his strength.
"At that time, a fierce storm is inevitable."
The sky was a clear, azure blue. Lu Li looked up, took a deep breath, and cleared his mind of all distractions, cleansing his very being.
Once his Internal Breath was depleted, he focused his mind on the Kunlun Mirror and the flying sword.
Under the cleansing of their minds, the spirits became vibrant and full of life, like grass and trees after the rain, lush and verdant.
After finishing all his homework, Lu Li took out his snuff bottle to inhale and recover, and at the same time found the vinyl record player.
A short while later, a Chevrolet minivan entered the estate, Teresa and Aurora returned.
After the car came to a stop, the two women got out.
Teresa handed over two brand-new vinyl records and said:
"Lossless audio quality, two copies were burned, please listen to them."
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Lu Li took the record and casually put it into the record player next to him...
As the familiar Sitabo Vana begins, one's mind calms down.
Lu Li was very satisfied. "Great, this is the effect I'm looking for. Thank you."
Teresa smiled slightly, "You're welcome."
"Hey~ Lu Li!"
At this moment, Aurora spoke with a somewhat serious tone:
"When you arrested the drug lord... did you kill a Foreign Intelligence Bureau officer?"
"That's right, what's wrong?"
Aurora warned, "The Foreign Intelligence Bureau has received the information and may do something. Be careful."
"I see."
Lu Li said calmly:
"I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Please make yourselves at the manor."
Teresa glanced at her watch and said, "We should go too. We need to accompany Mother to the orphanage at 10 o'clock."
"Please give my regards to Ms. Maria."
"Goodbye."
After seeing the two women off, I watched them drive away in a cloud of dust.
Lu Li also prepared to return to the other world and destroy Xuanzang Temple.
~~~~~~~~~~~
On the hilltop chosen by Xiao Cha in the otherworldly Divine Continent.
Accompanied by a faint flash of blue light, six AH4 Cannon suddenly appeared.
Immediately afterwards, another Hind helicopter, laden with weapons, arrived.
Standing around the numerous murder weapons, Lu Li contacted A'da and Number 0 through telepathy.
It's 4 a. m. here.
While waiting for Xiao Cha to arrive, Lu Li didn't sit idle. He started picking up cannonballs one by one, channeling his mind and Internal Breath.
With the support of Internal Breath, the mind and spirit can remain undiminished for a long time.
After making 12 in a row, his Internal Breath energy was almost depleted, and Terminators in suits began to appear in the forest.
Xiao Cha arrived with 12 puppets.
"This is your cannon!?"
Xiao Cha circled the cannon, touching it curiously.
"It looks very streamlined. Should it also be spread out like a drone?"
"That's right," Lu Li explained.
"This is called an ultralight howitzer; it can be towed by a truck for rapid deployment."
"Then what is this?"
The girl, with her lively personality, soon spotted the enormous Attack Helicopter.
Lu Li said, "This is an airplane."
"The propeller is above my head, kind of like the drone you gave me~"
Xiao Cha jumped up and gave it a nudge, and the propeller started spinning rapidly.
She didn't know how fun this thing was; after glancing at it twice, her interest returned to the cannons.
"I've been wanting to try this for ages! Let's get started!"
"Okay, take the drone into the air."
While the two were talking, the 12 puppets quickly deployed their artillery.
These Terminators, each with the strength of 6,000 pounds, are incredibly fast at digging craters and setting up artillery.
In just a few minutes, the six cannons were lined up and fixed in place, with their muzzles pointed in the direction of Xuanzang Temple.
At the same time, Xiao Cha controlled the drone to hover 1 kilometer above Xuanzang Temple, taking in the entire temple.
The overall layout of Xuanzang Temple is like a super-sized courtyard house, about the size of six football fields.
The temple grounds are covered with lush pine and cypress trees, and the buildings are magnificent. Through a drone, one can also see the vibrant painted decorations on them.
At this moment, monks were rushing from all directions to the central Great Hero Hall.
Xiao Cha exclaimed excitedly, "The monks have to do their morning prayers! This is the perfect opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop!"
Lu Li pointed to the "elevation mechanism" on the left side of the cannon and instructed her:
"I've made the Mind Cannonball, but if you want to fire it yourself, you'll need to use laser rangefinders from a drone to determine the position and elevation difference on both sides, and then adjust the mils..."
It's pointless to rely on others' food; Xiao Cha naturally wants to start her own attack.
This was originally a very complicated matter, requiring experienced gunners to perform repeated calculations.
But now, with the "artillery companion" flying in the sky, all the data is laid out clearly for you.
All you need to do is check the illumination table and adjust the gun's elevation and traverse mechanisms.
It wasn't difficult at all, and the two of them quickly figured it out.
Meanwhile, at Xuanzang Temple, a monk was striking the bell at the entrance of the Great Hero Hall, signaling the start of morning prayers.
Xiao Cha quickly adjusted her cannon, loaded the shells, and prepared to fire.
The remaining five cannons were manually adjusted by the puppets, with only cannon Number 0 containing a "Mind Cannonball".
Ready? Xiao Cha had 5 puppets left. She pulled the trigger!
But then a series of loud booming sounds were heard, and the entire hillside shook.
A huge burst of fire erupted from the cannon muzzle as six 155mm shells roared out of the barrel, heading straight for Xuanzang Temple!
~~~~~~~~~
Inside the Great Hero Hall of Xuanzang Temple.
The abbot, Zhenghong, sat upright on the main platform, leading over a thousand monks in chanting the Surangama Sutra.
These "substitute monks" all looked dignified and quite convincing.
They were born into powerful families and became monks in place of their masters, so they still possessed basic loyalty and professional ethics.
But after the chanting was finished, the atmosphere changed completely.
One after another, exceptionally burly monks stood up and reported their work to Zhenghong:
"Your Excellency, Da Wu Village has been in arrears with rent for three consecutive years. I have killed three peasants to establish my authority."
"A few days ago, some wealthy people from out of town came to offer incense. I've already scouted the area, so I can go harvest the crops anytime."
Zhenghong listened to these words with little interest, simply nodding casually and letting his subordinates handle the arrangements themselves.
But soon someone piqued his interest:
"In Shicao Township, a farmer's wife is pregnant. She was born in an unlucky month and at an unlucky hour."
Zhenghong's eyes lit up, and he quickly said:
"Have Kongxing go with you, right now, and tie her up and take her straight to the temple!"
Kongxing this matter concerned his powerful backer, Kongxing quickly stood up.
But at that moment, two holes burst open simultaneously in the roof and walls of the Great Hero Hall, as if something had been thrown in.
Zhenghong's expression changed drastically. He stomped on the platform to gain momentum, and in a flash, grabbed his son and rushed out...
A terrifying wave burst forth, shredding the Great Hero Hall like a biscuit, and Zhenghong's father and son were also engulfed by the blast wave.
