Chapter 26 It's up to us
"That one over there might be a bit difficult. Whirlpool, take Moon Demon with you."
After Wang Mian finished speaking in a low voice, the vortex pulled the two of them away from the car, one on each side.
As soon as the three landed, Moon Demon immediately went into stealth mode. He silently approached the man and kicked him into a side alley. His speed was so great that he didn't attract anyone's attention.
The man was also stunned by the kick. When he looked up and saw Whirlpool, he thought it was him who had kicked him. Whirlpool and Ling Yunxiao pretended to be terrified and innocent, waving their hands repeatedly to explain that they knew nothing.
The man stared sharply at the two of them, then suddenly grinned.
"You must be the Night's Watch! How dare you come looking for me? You're asking for trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, flames erupted around the man, but before the flames could fully form, he was kicked into the vortex. Ling Yunxiao casually drew his sword, and the man flew to the vortex, where it gently pushed him, sending his head, as if committing suicide, onto Ling Yunxiao's Star Blade. With his head impaled, Ling Yunxiao successfully obtained 20,000 points of Reincarnation Power.
"This person is indeed a master; their value is truly exceptional."
The group returned to the car, and Ling Yunxiao sighed with a smile, then looked up at Wang Mian.
"Captain, I think we can play it safer. We absolutely cannot let these small monsters escape. So, you still need to come back every one or two hours until all the small monsters are cleared out. Then we'll go straight to the location they set for the carnival and launch a full-scale attack. The elite monsters shouldn't be able to escape."
"I understand the logic, but isn't my life also a life?"
Wang Mian raised an eyebrow at Ling Yunxiao, telling him that making him run back every hour or two was draining his mental energy and lifespan. And if a fight broke out later, there was also the possibility of one of the three leaders of the Ancient God Cult appearing. Are people who want to usurp power this obvious these days?
"Tsk... Captain, you're being too polite with me!"
As Ling Yunxiao spoke, he directly summoned the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen.
"Wang Mian, your lifespan has not yet ended. Your lifespan will be extended by 100 years, but this will consume 100 units of life and death power. Healing will consume 10 units of life and death power."
After confirming with a smile, Ling Yunxiao was surprised to find that the Book of Life and Death hadn't charged any fees, yet it had only consumed 110 points. He looked at the items in his hands, puzzled, wanting an explanation. A line of text quickly appeared on the Book of Life and Death:
"Those who despise the judges of the underworld shall die without a burial place. No handling fees will be charged today."
You just focus on killing them; all extra costs are on us.
Ling Yunxiao blinked. Sure enough, these two were intelligent, and quite intelligent at that. Were they angry now? And what a stroke of luck!
Without hesitation, Ling Yunxiao raised his head and looked at the king with anticipation.
"Captain, has your mental strength recovered?"
Wang Mian was immersed in the joy of receiving his hundred-year lifespan when he heard Ling Yunxiao's words. He immediately sensed it and then revealed a surprised smile.
"My mental strength has also recovered, and I even feel that I am ridiculously strong now."
"Brother Ling! I want one too! Look at me, it's not easy for me either!"
As Wang Mian finished speaking, Whirlpool tightly gripped Ling Yunxiao's hand, his eyes shining but his face contorted in pain as he wailed.
Seeing everyone staring intently at him, Ling Yunxiao waved his hand, adding ten years to everyone's lifespan, and casually wrote the character "heal" in the air with his judge's pen.
"I'll cover all the mental energy expenditure and battle losses for everyone today! I guarantee that you won't get injured today, and you absolutely cannot die. At most, you'll just be a little tired."
After the fight, I'll grant each of you ten years of lifespan, as a way to celebrate together.
"Thank you, Brother Ling!"
"Long live Brother Ling!"
Now everyone's motivation was at its peak. Even the two older men, Zhao Kongcheng and Kong Shang, called out "Brother Ling" with great enthusiasm. No one would complain about living too long, especially since he possessed resurrection abilities.
Ling Yunxiao's consumption was only a little over two hundred points.
At lunchtime, the group got off the car in high spirits and went into a hot pot restaurant. As steam rose from the broth, Wang Mian's expression changed.
"The scattered believers on the outskirts have all been cleared out. What remains are believers with firm faith and high levels of blessing. They are currently at the Peach Blossom Hotel with Mingliu and have begun preparing for the pre-festival rituals."
"After we finish eating, we'll move in and wait for their party to start before we make our move!"
Xia Simeng continued, saying that once they began the ritual, there should be no more civilians in the hotel. Opening the no-restraint airspace would minimize unrest and casualties.
"How are we supposed to move in? Do you think the Ancient Gods don't recognize you or me?"
Wang Mian frowned, and Ling Yunxiao thought of someone.
"Go find Baili Tuming and ask him to arrange a presidential suite for us! Isn't it normal for a rich kid like him to suddenly decide to entertain some friends? In fact, because of his status, they will most likely give up the room for us to avoid trouble."
"The general and Whirlpool will go in first, and once they're settled, Whirlpool will take us all over."
"No, do you think they're stupid? Cangnan just lost so many people. If they see the hotel booking information from Cangnan now, they won't be on guard at all. I'm afraid the general and his companion will be torn to pieces by the ambushing believers as soon as they enter."
Kong Shang shook his head, indicating his disagreement.
Ling Yunxiao smiled and waved his hand dismissively. He picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl before explaining.
"You have to understand, no matter what kind of organization it is, if it has more than three leaders, it can't possibly be of one mind. You have to understand, these are all people from Qianmo, while those who came from Cangnan are all people from Yiyu."
Perhaps their celebration today is actually to commemorate the heavy losses and devastation suffered by Yiyu. As for Cangnan, they at most know that Yiyu suffered a loss; unless Yiyu becomes shameless in the future, they won't be told the specifics of Cangnan's situation.
“I still think we shouldn’t take too much of a risk. Why don’t we wait until everyone arrives tonight before going in…”
Kong Shang continued to shake his head, but before he could finish speaking, Zhao Kongcheng interrupted him.
"Personally, I have no objections. I trust Ling Yunxiao and I trust the Whirlpool. After all, when a fight breaks out, it's always easier to attack from the inside than to launch a direct assault from the front. How about we vote by raising our hands?"
Three minutes later, Wang Mian dialed Yuan Gang's number.
"Chief Instructor Yuan, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"Oh, you're being so polite. It can't be anything serious, like breaking the law. Tell me about it."
"I'd like to ask Baili Tuming to make a phone call and book a presidential suite at a hotel. Our identities aren't convenient, and there's a large stronghold of the Ancient God Cult right across the street."
"During recruit training camp..."
"Just tell me directly! Both of our special teams are waiting! Our casualties and survival rate are in your hands anyway, so you can decide what to do."
"Got it, you little brat! Which city and which hotel do you want to book?"
