Chapter 1078: Chapter 29: Unskilled but Overpowered
The process of the capture operation was not very smooth.
Before Wang Yunxiao arrived at the location, the other party had already left early, leaving the place deserted.
But fortunately, we were not entirely unprepared.
With Yan Yu’an’s emergency response team and an astrologer at our side, as long as these people show any trace, they cannot escape Tianmen tonight, no matter what.
It’s well known that Tianmen City is not a place where you can freely enter and exit just by opening a teleportation gate.
Unless there’s a special permit.
As Li Mumu had told Wang Yunxiao, Xia Yubing has a mirror that allows her to freely travel through various dimensions.
But she is the head of the Containment Department of the Special Service Bureau.
No one else gets this sort of privilege.
Besides, they didn’t have cars for transportation.
Cars in Tianmen City are very limited, and they’re not a luxury that average families can afford.
After Yu Tongxuan locked onto the aura of this group, it took less than ten minutes to pinpoint their location.
However, they intended to stubbornly resist.
The leader opened a third eye on his forehead, his power surged instantly, launching a barrage of punches and kicks that left the emergency team in disarray.
That eye seemed so familiar that it triggered a visceral discomfort in Wang Yunxiao, his forehead vaguely aching.
Indeed, he had used this trick before.
That was when he was hunting Kong Ting, tapping into powers not his own from a notebook.
Honestly speaking, it was incredibly useful.
Of course, this is his personal experience; being part of the garrison soldiers… those who know, know.
He truly didn’t know what it would be like for others and didn’t want Li Mumu to try it.
My wife’s style is already complex enough; there’s no need to add another eye.
Now he witnessed what it was like for someone else to wield this power.
A powerful psychic intrusion swept through the area, shattering the formation of the emergency team in less than ten seconds.
Yan Yu’an’s expression was quite displeased, though he hadn’t brought many people with him today; the situation was indeed not favorable.
Just as he was reaching his limit and considering stepping in himself, the Navy tossed out a signal beacon without any rush.
With a flash of blue light, a teleportation gate opened, and two Heavenly Armors appeared out of nowhere.
When it comes to dealing with these heretical paths, the Navy is indeed inexperienced.
But they have excessive firepower.
And within their home territory, they possess the highest level of access privileges.
The two nearly three-meter-tall Heavenly Armors cornered the three-eyed individual front and back, drew their one-meter-long daggers from their waists, and mercilessly plunged them in with chaotic strikes.
The Navy’s current Heavenly Armors are far more advanced than the set Wang Yunxiao brought back from Lanton, having gone through several technical iterations over the past sixty years; their overall design is more elegant and agile.
Like a chubby person performing ballet on a tightrope, it’s a strong visual impact.
The poor three-eyed guy couldn’t even scream before being repeatedly stabbed by the two Mecha giants, the blades turning from white to red with his blood; within a few seconds, he was convulsing, devoid of life.
Other Incense Hall disciples also displayed their skills. According to related intelligence, most of these overseas disciples practiced the “Divine Strike” spell, known colloquially as spirit possession.
Lesser practitioners needed an altar, offerings, and incense.
But those who had mastered the cultivation could stomp the ground and shudder to enter the state.
Once possessed, they gain immense strength, becoming impervious to swords and spears…
However, when the Heavenly Armor revealed cannons as thick as their wrists, those possessed Immortals quickly surrendered, clasped their heads, and crouched by the wall.
When escorted back to the Supervision Bureau, they were still babbling about the law, violence, passports, and such.
Yan Yu’an did not indulge them, directly slapping documents in their faces.
For those who illegally immigrated, there’s no need to argue; anyone returning through normal processes has to sign a document at customs, pledging to abide by domestic laws and regulations, and not use any form of supernatural powers.
What followed was the dull and boring ritual of casting the Great Memory Recovery Technique.
Honestly, brutal criminals are not necessarily willful.
In futuristic movies and dramas, to portray the ruthlessness of criminals, they are often depicted as cold-blooded tough guys, fighting the protagonist to the end with steely resolve.
It’s like a ticking bomb that must have its wires cut; it’s a creative expression in art.
If they were truly so resolute, why wouldn’t the army recruit from prisons?
Their brutality and toughness are relative, directed only at the weak.
While Wang Yunxiao was still in the office sipping tea, all confessions were made.
“Simply put, they came to ‘pick peaches.'”
Yan Yu’an threw the interrogation record in front of Wang Yunxiao.
“Whose peaches?”
“The Four Seas Commerce Guild has three major factions, haven’t I mentioned that?”
“Indeed.”
“Actually, none of the factions are really willing to come back.”
“Understandable.”
Human understanding is limited to what they are willing to comprehend.
If not driven by parents and teachers, few students will voluntarily study.
Even with guidance, many students still refuse to learn after hearing the same rationale repeatedly.
Then they fail subjects, drop out, enter factories, become unemployed, and lament their parents aren’t wealthy.
The Four Seas Commerce Guild is similar; living free and easy overseas, making money hand over fist, few are genuinely willing to return.
You tell them about the Temporal Tide, but they don’t understand or care.
The true driving force behind the Guild’s return is its internal high-level members with strategic vision and a sense of crisis.
This caused considerable internal conflict.
Finally achieving consensus, they turned back to find domestic conditions surprisingly harsh.
They were not allowed to go south, only to Tianmen.
This upset members originally from the South and even Southeast Asia even more.
Internal divisions in the Guild reached near-breaking tensions over this.
However, disputes aside, the Guild’s leadership never compromised or had the space to compromise, ultimately reaching a reluctant consensus.
And when those reluctant members focused on Tianmen, carefully examining its business environment, they found no space for themselves here.
The Guild’s leadership had spent years strategically planning Tianmen, placing many agents and supporting them with Guild funds to participate in various industries, establishing a basic framework.
And those agents had already seized all the best positions, leaving no opportunities for latecomers.
