When the Nest Is Overturned, No Egg Remains Unbroken

"Hairy legs, with a dark sheen inside?"

Zhang Xuezhou and the others sat in the back of the driver's seat. He felt that Zhang Manqian liked to speed when she drove.

Zhang Xuezhou only took over driving after Zhang Manqian nearly crashed the truck into a bridge pier.

The truck drove slowly along the road, and Zhang Manqian was in a daze, did not come to her senses until nearly half an hour later.

After taking some Peiyuan paste, Zhang Manqian gradually returned to normal.

After listening to Zhang Manqian's explanation, Zhang Xuezhou was still completely confused.

He had experienced some of the scenes Zhang Manqian had seen, but there were also some scenes that Zhang Xuezhou had never experienced. Now, hearing Zhang Manqian's descriptions again, including her sketches, Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to grasp the function of these illusions.

"Could this involve some unsolvable dilemma?" Ren Anran asked after hearing this.

Ren Anran does not deny Zhang Manqian, but precognition is also a form of mental ability. Some people can use powerful mental deduction to predict what might happen at a certain point in the future.

Zhang Manqian doesn't possess this kind of deductive reasoning ability; it's more likely that a similar situation arose from a clash of talents.

"When my sister first experienced this hallucination..."

Zhang Manqian's hallucinations didn't involve many games; they were more like events that might happen at a certain point in time.

Zhang Xuezhou experienced some hallucinations coming true, but he didn't figure out how to deal with them.

If Physiognomy School offers the ability to foresee the future and break through obstacles to defy fate, Zhang Manqian's fragmented situation left Zhang Xuezhou bewildered and struggling to find a point of leverage to explore both the good and the bad.

Can Manqian practice Physiognomy Technique?

"I don't possess physiognomy for predicting the Physiognomy Technique, only the Person-Fixing Technique' that probes memories.' Releasing this technique will impact one's own consciousness, and mastering it requires multiple releases for testing. The drawbacks are quite obvious, and it's not suitable for cultivation without significant benefits!"

"If there's a chance, I could find some Physiognomy Technique for Manqian. I think Manqian might be well-suited to practice Physiognomy Technique to assist her!"

I'll do my best!

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

The secret manual of the Physiognomy School only has three major techniques: determining the person, determining the burial site, and determining the stars. Each technique has significant drawbacks.

These techniques sound impressive, but many cultivators of the Physiognomy School have died from the backlash caused by these three techniques. The Physiognomy School is considered to have a shorter average lifespan among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

Ordinary Physiognomy Technique are weak and useless.

If there were any techniques suitable for Zhang Manqian, Zhang Xuezhou would have obtained them long ago.

"The Supreme Purity True Technique is enough for me for a lifetime," Zhang Manqian said, sounding somewhat dejected. "I'm still more suited to martial arts training that involves real, visceral combat!"

"Don't give up on any possible attempt," Ren Anran said with a smile. "As long as you haven't completely strayed from your own path in cultivation, you can try anything. The cultivation speed that suits you will exceed your expectations!"

"I just want a normal speed!"

Zhang Manqian murmured softly.

Zhang Manqian practiced several different methods, but Zhang Manqian progress was faster than that of Xu Zhihui and others.

Among Zhang Xuezhou and his group, Zhang Manqian's performance was not outstanding.

But if you change the group you're dealing with, Zhang Manqian becomes an insurmountable obstacle for many.

At this point, she only hoped not to perform too poorly. After Ren Anran made two more suggestions, Zhang Manqian reluctantly agreed that she would definitely go to see Physiognomy Technique after returning to Western Capital City.

"As long as you choose the right path, catching up from behind is not a problem," Ren Anran said.

"That makes sense. By the way, is Branpeda's communications research center located in this area?"

The rebels and the Montes Lineage were constantly at war, but both sides tacitly avoided attacking water, electricity, and communication facilities to avoid facing huge troubles even after victory.

Zhang Xuezhou took over driving for a while, but then realized that the area he had arrived at according to the coordinates was not quite right.

"Clearing the cache is everyone's responsibility, this is the place to be!"

Ren Anran glanced outside and then pointed to the slogans outdoors.

"These characters are so difficult to pronounce!"

Zhang Xuezhou has recently been learning Sanskrit and has read several volumes of the Heart Sutra. His communication Aomeijia Alliance are at a basic level, and his writing ability is only average.

Unless there is a special need, Zhang Xuezhou has no desire to learn another language or script.

With a grumble, Zhang Xuezhou began to turn the vehicle, while Ren Anran jumped out to deal with the blockade of the entrance.

"It's a pity Kalando isn't here; if she led the way, we could have passed without any obstacles!"

"Now that Kalando is the chieftain, she needs to maintain stability in the Tour region, so she doesn't have many opportunities to go out!"

What a waste of talent!

"It's good that she collects moths in the Tours area; our elixirs need those moths!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Zhang Manqian exchanged a few words in whispers.

Ren Anran was not as fast as Turkalando in leading the way, but Ren Anran's actions went very smoothly.

Their ability to exert psychological pressure and influence allows them to enter these relatively confidential areas without much difficulty. Those affected will forget the relevant memories after a short period of time, posing no further trouble.

"If you keep driving down this underground route, you'll reach Brampeda's first communications center, which can influence more than 50% of the communications and networks of the Aomeijia Alliance!"

The Brampeda communications center is an underground fortification, not simply manned. It involves twelve locks, and only a select few can enter.

These bullet holes are very obvious, clearly indicating that the area was contested as a key military location.

The final result was that all twelve heavy gates were locked, and no one could enter. As for the operation of communication, it was left to fate.

The intermittent messaging issues experienced by Zhang Manqian and others, requiring multiple clicks, were undoubtedly related to the battle for control of the Brampeda communications center.

"These alloy doors are as long and thick as a finger. Can we open them?"

"The door is thick, but the lock isn't. The sand-dissolving technique is enough to break it. Just call those kids down and push the door open!"

Ren Anran handled the personnel matters, while Zhang Xuezhou was responsible for the violent sabotage.

Whether it's an electronic lock or a mechanical lock, the thickness of the door and the lock are two different things; even the thickest lock has a limited size.

Even in a thick alloy door, the lock responsible for accommodating the gaps is no more than the thickness of a finger.

Zhang Xuezhou chanted an incantation for a while, and the alloy turned into powder. Where his palm touched, yellow sand rolled down.

The blaring alarms echoed throughout the underground fortifications, but no one came to patrol or check.

The emerging social disorder caused many people to abandon their posts and instead selfishly collect various resources or form groups to combat risks.

After walking about 300 meters, Zhang Xuezhou passed through 12 locks.

The last lock was opened, and Zhang Xuezhou saw more than a dozen rotting corpses, as well as a messy and destructive scene all around.

The Aomeijia Alliance has lasted for nearly two months. These people were clearly affected by the turmoil, resulting in them being locked underground and unable to leave. Ultimately, they died there due to hunger and other reasons.

If the entrance area is like this, other areas are likely to be similarly littered with corpses.

Looking at the rotting, worm-infested corpse, Zhang Xuezhou inexplicably thought of those who died in the Liang King's Tomb.

A single word from above can lead to those below risking their lives.

For the first time, he felt the weight of the consequences of an imperfect system and unchecked power.

There is no perfect system in this world, and no one is perfect, but the cost of making corrections is too high.

Zhang Xuezhou can stand here today and witness all of this, but who knows if he himself will one day become one of those lying on the ground.

If the risk of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon could be eliminated, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his desires would be lower, and he would indeed do things seriously, so as not to fall into Kongxu and lack of pursuit after gaining freedom.
