Zhang Chulan didn't take Xiao Tian's joke seriously.
"Okay, it's settled then. Thanks, Brother Tian."
It was already 2 a. m., and Xiao Tian, who was wide awake, was speechless at Zhang Chulan's last reply.
Xiao Tian was truly greedy for the Origin of Qi. Based on the original timeline, Xiao Tian remembered the situation in Biyou Village. During Zhang Chulan's battle with Ma Xianhong, he discovered a Qi Infant phenomenon similar to a Divine Spirit or something similar.
Coincidentally, in this world, because of Xiao Tian's transmigration, Zhang Chulan and Ma Xianhong never had a serious one-on-one battle. In other words, Xiao Tian caused Zhang Chulan's progress in becoming powerful to be delayed.
"This is a headache. The other Eight Impure Techniques are relatively easy to find, but what about Origin of Qi and Divine Spirit?"
Knock knock!
A knock sounded at the door, Xiao Tian couldn't help but turn his head to look.
In a moment of concentration, his Enhanced Byakugan ability appeared, allowing him to see through the wooden door and see the person outside—his beautiful subordinate, Guihua, with a slender figure and a mature, sophisticated air.
Guihua was wearing pajamas, her calves exposed, fair and smooth with a glossy sheen, her feet were beautiful, and her toenails were painted with deep red nail polish.
"The door's unlocked, come in, and say what you need."
Guihua Gate of Opening and entered, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Tian. After hesitating for a moment, she said, " Brother Xiao, do you know about the Jiashen Rebellion? Ma Xianhong is a descendant of one of the Thirty-Six Outlaws of the Jia Jiashen Rebellion. If the company manages to extract any clues, could you tell me?"
"Oh ho, to be honest, I don't really know much about the Jiashen Rebellion. Don't worry about the clues, but I don't think Ma Xianhong's escort mission will be that easy."
Upon hearing this, Guihua frowned and said, " Brother Xiao, do you think there will be problems with Ma Xianhong's escort?"
"Just a guess. If there's nothing else, go and rest. It's not good for your skin if you're not asleep at this hour."
"Okay, goodnight, Brother Xiao."
Three days later, at the headquarters of Nadutong Company.
Zhao Fangrui, Bi Youlong, and Huang Boren monitored the situation in the interrogation room, listening to the sounds.
The one sitting on the interrogation seat is the Wang Ye.
"Third question, Wang Ye, have you Zeng Xiu the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements?" the interrogator asked, his eyes sharp, observing Wang Ye's gaze and complexion to help the machine determine if he was lying or concealing anything.
" Ma Xianhong did want to teach me the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, but unfortunately he was greedy and also wanted the Fenghou Qimen. To be honest, the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements isn't suitable for me. I know the principle of not biting off more than you can chew, so I didn't care about the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements and didn't learn it." Wang Ye yawned and said naturally.
"In that case, have you passed on the Fenghou Qimen to anyone?"
"No, Fenghou Qimen is not so easy to cultivate, and your company's senior management knows this too," Wang Ye said.
Of course, at this point, he was lying.
However, Wang Ye was not the real Wang Ye, but rather an imposter created by Xiao Tian using his Ruyi Divine Ability of Transformation and his Clone Technique.
Although the machine on his head detects lies through brainwaves and other sensors, it is still just technology from this planet, no matter how advanced it is. Xiao Tian's head, on the other hand, is protected by a system based on the evolution of the laws of the universe.
"Let's switch to Zhuge Qing," Zhao Fangrui's voice rang out.
"Alright, Wang Ye, you can leave now. Thank you for your cooperation."
Wang Ye yawned, his dark circles under his eyes making him look tired and bored. He waved his hand lazily and casually.
"After traveling for so long, let's find a place to get a good night's sleep. This Daoist priest is exhausted."
Subsequently, Zhuge Qing took over the position and was asked a similar question.
Zhuge Qing successfully passed the interrogation.
Inside Director Zhao's office, Zhao Fangrui, Bi Youlong, and Huang Boren repeatedly watched the video playback of Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing's interrogation.
"There shouldn't be any problem. It seems the only way to break through is by targeting the group in Biyou Village."
Beep beep beep!
" Director Zhao, the vehicle escorting a group of Evolver from Biyou Village has run into trouble! A group of mysterious people have arrived! They've intercepted Ma Xianhong and injured many of our brothers."
Zhao Fangrui and the others' expressions changed drastically.
"I knew something would go wrong. Despite being so careful, taking secret routes, and using special escorts to get to that Dark Fortress, we still got exposed."
"There are still quite a few traitors within the company." Bi Youlong and Huang Boren both looked very grim.
"Was only Ma Xianhong intercepted? What about the others?" Zhao Fangrui asked.
" Director Zhao, only Ma Xianhong is here; everyone else is."
"Speed up, escort them to their destination tonight, and also arrange for the brothers' injuries to be treated as soon as possible..."
After Zhao Fangrui gave some instructions and hung up the phone, Bi Youlong made a suggestion.
" Old Zhao, how about we hand over the matter of capturing Ma Xianhong to the Dragon Guard?"
" Old Zhao, I think it's a good idea. Based on multiple interrogations and the statements of several temporary workers, it's highly likely that Little Xiao was the one who stopped and delayed Ma Xianhong Ma Xianhong he was captured," Huang Boren said.
"First, have the brothers in the vicinity search vigorously to determine the approximate location. The escape of a dangerous figure like Ma Xianhong poses a huge threat to social stability. Moreover, we must thoroughly investigate and eliminate any forces that rescued him!"
Meanwhile, in the Western Shu region, in a mountain forest...
Ma Xianhong sat in the car with a sullen expression.
"Brother Ma, we're almost there. This time the village was besieged, it wasn't your fault, don't worry too much," the driver comforted him.
"Yes, I want to see my sister."
"We'll be there soon, just a little longer."
On the roof of this black sedan, the people inside had no idea that an invisible, mysterious figure was sitting there.
After a long while, the black sedan drove into a secluded manor in the mountains.
"Brother Ma, get some rest. The president will be here soon."
Ma Xianhong nodded, then went to find a place to shower, change clothes, and eat.
The mysterious person who had entered undetected was now wandering around inside the villa.
"Wow, places under the Yaoxing Society are truly luxurious."
This mysterious person was none other than Xiao Tian himself.
It turned out that when Ma Xianhong was being escorted, Xiao Tian had secretly left behind an invisible clone to maintain its energy and keep it hidden for a week. When the clone witnessed the vehicle transporting Ma Xianhong being attacked, it immediately deactivated the clone and sent the information back to Xiao Tian.
Because of the world map in Xiao Tian's mind, he was able to teleport to a nearby location using his innate ability: Teleport, via friendly forces, specifically the Nadutong Teleport vehicles.
Xiao Tian wandered around, got some food, and then went to Ma Xianhong's room to rest.
Ma Xianhong locked himself in his room, silent, his eyes closed, lost in thought.
Xiao Tian, who was invisible, chuckled inwardly.
" Brother Little Ma, get some sleep. I'll take care of your sister."
Ma Xianhong's consciousness was still quite good; he suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation and opened his eyes.
But it was too late!
When Ma Xianhong opened his eyes, he saw a familiar face in front of him. He was drawn to a strange eye, and his consciousness was sucked into a special world.
Tsukuyomi!
Xiao Tian quickly subdued Ma Xianhong and transferred him into the Kamui Dimension. He then transformed into Ma Xianhong's appearance and smashed bottles and jars in the room to create a commotion and cover up his actions.
"Brother Ma, are you alright?" The Yaoxing Society member who was monitoring Ma Xianhong outside the door opened the door and frowned when he saw the mess inside.
"It's nothing, just get me some food." Xiao Tian, disguised as Ma Xianhong, said with a gloomy expression.
"Good."
And so, Xiao Tian, posing as Ma Xianhong, ate and drank his fill for two or three days until the real person finally arrived.
Qu Tong, Ma Xianhong's older sister, is the president of Yaoxing Society.
She appeared before Xiao Tian in a loose black dress, short hair that was light purple to pink, red eyes, and flat sandals.
Qu Tong gave Xiao Tian a strong, assertive presence, the most powerful and assertive of all the women he had ever seen in this world.
"What's so bad about smashing things? Do you know the real reason for your utter defeat? Among the people who entered the village, there was someone you could never have imagined. Now, don't dwell on the failure of Biyou Village. You immediately create a magical artifact that can communicate remotely. The more sophisticated and secretive, the better." Qu Tong's tone left no room for argument, like a queen issuing a command.
"An existence I can't even imagine? What's its background?" Xiao Tian, disguised as Ma Xianhong, had a drastic change in expression and was extremely indignant.
"You don't need to know now. Just think it through and tell me what materials you need," Qu Tong said authoritatively.
"Sister, the Self-Cultivation Furnace is destroyed, is there still a chance!"
"It doesn't matter that the Self-Cultivation Furnace was destroyed; I still have crucial materials. Right now, you need to adjust your mindset."
"Okay, sis, I have a question for you," said the fake Ma Xianhong hesitantly.
"Speak," Qu Tong said with a smile, but that smile gave Xiao Tian an even colder sense of dread.
"Can the Self-Cultivation Furnace really help me regain my memories? Can I really continue to trust you, sister?"
Qu Tong was shocked, realizing that Ma Xianhong had lost his mind and that she had to take action.
" Xianhong, who has taken care of you all these years? I will always be good to you. Come with me, I'll take you to get something to eat first." Qu Tong's eyes softened as she took Ma Xianhong's hand.
After a long while, Xiao Tian drank a health-preserving soup made by Qu Tong.
"Ding! Automatically blocking and preventing substances from affecting the brain of the Heavenly Dao Inheritor!"
Xiao Tian drank and drank until he finished the whole pot of soup.
Seeing that her younger brother Ma Xianhong had finished a large pot of soup without showing any unusual reaction, Qu Tong was puzzled. Why hadn't he fainted?
"Sis, the soup you made tastes good, but is there something wrong with it?"
" Xianhong, what are you thinking about? If you're sleepy, take a rest." Qu Tong smiled, but her eyes held a chilling coldness.
"Sister, I've obtained the cultivation method of the Great Luo Cave Observation. Do you want a copy?" Xiao Tian continued fishing.
Qu Tong almost laughed out of anger. Was the Great Luo Cave Observation so easy to obtain?
"Silly brother, you've been fooled. I've seen the real successor of the Great Luo Cave Observation; he's definitely not one of those few people who came to the village."
"What?" Xiao Tian, disguised as Ma Xianhong, had a drastic change in expression.
"Sis, I'm a little sleepy, can I lean on your shoulder for a bit?"
"Silly little brother, if you're sleepy, take a rest." Qu Tong moved a stool closer and offered her shoulder to the fake Ma Xianhong.
"Thanks, sister." Xiao Tian, disguised as Ma Xianhong, tilted his head and leaned on Qu Tong's left shoulder, while one of his eyes changed.
The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan appeared in Qu Tong's eyes.
