Chapter 323

"Li Yi, how are you? Are you okay?"

After Huo Hong took his people away, Bai Sinan asked indifferently.

Li Yi had truly escaped death just now. He never imagined that a powerhouse at the Spirit Power Realm level would be so shameless as to move against him directly inside Base No. 6. If Bai Sinan hadn't acted just now, he would have likely died; even wearing armor crafted from extraordinary metal might not have been enough to block that strike.

However, if he hadn't died from that strike just now, he would definitely have released the fierce ghost, caused a supernatural incident, and fought to the death with the entire Base No. 6.

"I'm fine." He calmed down and then said: "Thank you for your help just now, otherwise I would be dead."

"I have always been clear about gratitude and grudges. I failed to send you safely to the Golden Academy before, causing you to almost die, which was my fault. Protecting you now can be considered compensation to you," Bai Sinan said: "You are a newcomer, how did you end up provoking a guy like Huo Hong?"

"Someone sent him a storage magic treasure to have Huo Hong deal with me. I didn't expect him to dare to act in the training base," Li Yi said: "Inside the Golden Academy, are Spirit Power Realm powerhouses all this lawless, able to kill at will?"

"No."

Bai Sinan said calmly: "However, Huo Hong is an exception. He killed two students before, which is why he was sent to Base No. 6. Before World No. 6 is conquered, he can never leave here to return to the Golden Academy, and he must participate in every mission. However, Huo Hong doesn't want to go back either; he is used to staying here, so this punishment doesn't mean much to him. Even if he really killed you, the Golden Academy wouldn't sentence him to death."

"Manpower is very scarce in this period, so the Golden Academy won't execute a Spirit Power Realm expert because of a Spirit Perception Realm student. At most, they will arrange a few more dangerous missions for him, letting him kill a few more genetic warriors. But for Huo Hong, who stays in the base all the time, it's a case of 'too many debts don't weigh one down'."

"So that's how it is." Li Yi's face sank.

He didn't expect a Spirit Power Realm expert to have such privileges. Killing two students didn't lead to execution, just exile to World No. 6 to participate in combat. Although doing so could indeed squeeze out the value of a Spirit Power Realm expert, it correspondingly made other Spirit Power Realm cultivators increasingly lawless.

Compared to this Huo Hong, that judge Du Baizhi was still relatively gentle in her methods.

Bai Sinan said again: "Li Yi, I protected you this time because I happened to pass by and saw this incident. If you encounter Huo Hong again next time and he still wants to act against you, even if I have the heart to help you, I will be powerless. You must be clear about this. Therefore, if you want to get rid of this trouble, it's best to plan early, either leave World No. 6 and return to the Golden Academy to avoid him."

"Or, take the opportunity of this mission to sneak into the depths of World No. 6, work hard on your cultivation, and strive to reach the Spirit Power Realm as well. In that case, you won't have to fear him."

Bai Sinan's meaning was very simple: he couldn't follow Li Yi and protect him at all times. Acting just now was to repay what he owed you before. Next, he likely wouldn't act to help you again; you have to rely on yourself.

Li Yi said: "I cannot leave Base No. 6 and return to the Golden Academy. I have a hunting mission on me."

"It seems you also got into trouble and were sent here. Since that's the case, follow my team for tonight's mission. I will arrange a relatively safe route for you to cross the opponent's defense line and kill your way into World No. 6. If you succeed, you still have a chance to turn things around. If you fail, then I can't help you either," Bai Sinan said.

"That is enough, thank you," Li Yi said with some gratitude.

Bai Sinan waved his hand: "Don't thank me. Everything I do now is just compensation. After tonight, what I owe you will be paid off, and we will have no further dealings."

He remained cold and arrogant, unwilling to have too much entanglement with Li Yi because he smelled the trouble on Li Yi.

Someone willing to spend the price of a storage magic treasure to kill Li Yi meant that the matter behind him was definitely not as simple as just one Huo Hong; it must also involve other Spirit Power Realm experts. He was unwilling to offend several experts for the sake of a newcomer he wasn't very familiar with.

Li Yi didn't speak. He also understood in his heart; after all, he had no friendship with Bai Sinan. Others being able to act to save him was already doing their best.

"Bai Sinan, let's go, it's time to arrange tonight's mission." At this moment, the woman named Tao Lu on the side walked over and said.

"Okay."

Bai Sinan nodded, then said: "Everyone follow me. This mission is very dangerous. You must be fully prepared. Also, I don't want to see any more infighting, otherwise, I will never show mercy."

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and remained silent.

Soon.

Bai Sinan and Tao Lu each led two teams to a combat room in Base No. 6 to rest, while discussing the action plan for the night.

The combat map was a 3D image, and everyone could clearly see Base No. 6 standing like an isolated island in a wasteland of ruins.

Surrounding this Base No. 6, the opponent had established three defense lines, surrounding Base No. 6 tightly. It seemed that as long as they sent a large-scale weapon of mass destruction here, they could directly destroy Base No. 6. However, the opponent did not do so because Base No. 6 was not just a simple base; behind it represented the entire Heaven-Tilting World.

Before both sides completely broke out into a world war, no one dared to tear off their masks, only engaging in small-scale mutual probing.

"Tonight, Tao Lu and I will each lead a team, starting from here and here, crossing the opponent's defense line and entering the opponent's world. Once successful, the only thing you need to do is to survive as much as possible. Of course, you are not completely without helpers. After you are temporarily safe, you can contact the opponent's resistance army, and they will provide you with some help."

Bai Sinan pointed to two locations on the map and continued: "Of course, if you are bold enough, you can also sneak into the opponent's base to plunder genetic potions, battle armor, spaceships, intelligent life, and a series of other valuable things. We will prepare for each of you an intelligent virus developed by the Science Department. This thing can break through the opponent's intelligent system, but it will take a little time."

Afterward, he distributed a glowing sphere to everyone. You only need to place this thing near the intelligent system and activate it, and it will spread the intelligent virus indiscriminately, destroying the opponent's system.

Foolproof operation, very friendly to cultivators.

Li Yi also got one. He wasn't very interested in these high-tech things and just stuffed it into his pocket. However, he remembered that he still had a liquid metal battle armor in his storage magic treasure. Once he took it out, according to the dead genetic warrior, it would send out a signal to contact his surviving sister.

Because he was worried about traps, he didn't dare to use it.

After some discussion, the general action plan was determined.

Bai Sinan and Tao Lu would be the vanguard, killing their way into the defense line first to attract the attention of the opponent's genetic warriors. The others would be in groups of three, dispersing to cross the remaining defense lines. After completely entering World No. 6, the three would break up into smaller units, each fighting on their own, sneaking into the interior.

"Li Yi, you and Xia Xiaozhong will be in a team. I will protect you directly across the second defense line, and after that, it will be up to you."

Bai Sinan then formed a temporary team with a woman named Xia Xiaozhong and Li Yi. Li Yi looked at Xia Xiaozhong at this moment; she was also a Soul Realm expert, and she was wearing an old leather armor with pale golden runes engraved on it. It was a pity that some runes had been worn away, but this did not affect the leather armor's ability to cover the whole body with a layer of radiance.

"It's also a treasure, but it's a pity it's too old, failing to return to its peak. Even so, the leather armor still possesses astonishing defensive power," Li Yi thought to himself.

He didn't know what kind of creature's skin the leather armor was sewn from; time hadn't worn away its power. However, what he cared about most was the pale bone bow on Xia Xiaozhong's back. There was a black bowstring on the bone bow, and the bowstring vaguely emitted a faint golden light, looking very extraordinary at first glance.

Leather armor, bone bow—these two items had very similar styles, clearly coming from the same unknown world.

While Li Yi was sizing up the other party, Xia Xiaozhong also looked at Li Yi, then nodded slightly as a greeting.

After the plan was formulated, everyone remained silent, starting to adjust their state and preparing for the night's battle.

Li Yi directly found a corner and continued to cultivate. He didn't choose to enter meditation but was tempering his Gang Qi, condensing his entire body's Gang Qi. Although the cultivation results of a few hours weren't great, being idle was still being idle; he would increase his strength as much as he could.

Soon.

Night arrived.

Bai Sinan and Tao Lu, the two Spirit Power Realm powerhouses, were also sitting quietly waiting. They didn't know the specific action time and needed to wait for the notification from the base commander of Base No. 6.

At about one o'clock in the morning.

A message was passed to Bai Sinan and Tao Lu.

After the two received the message, they stood up abruptly. He said calmly: "The mission time is out. We will depart from the base in three minutes. Now, all of you follow me to the south gate of the base to assemble."

Everyone opened their eyes abruptly at this moment, their pupils flashing with radiance, appearing exceptionally excited.

They didn't come here for tourism, but to plunder the resources of World No. 6. At the very least, they wanted to become a genetic warrior, let genes and evolution cultivate both, improve their potential, and lay a solid foundation for breaking through to the Spirit Power Realm in the future.

Soon.

Teams of cultivators walked out from various parts of the base, heading to the designated locations according to the plan to prepare for action.

Li Yi also saw Huo Hong's team at this moment, but this time Huo Hong only glanced at him and didn't act again, clearly still wary of Bai Sinan and Tao Lu. Afterward, he and Jiang Mingtian crossed paths, both nodding to signal each other to be careful.

As things stood, the two of them couldn't form a team and had to fight on their own.

"Li Yi, how is your strength? Can you briefly confront a Level 5 genetic warrior?" Suddenly, at this moment, the woman named Xia Xiaozhong beside him asked.

"I should be able to trade a few blows," Li Yi said: "Why?"

Xia Xiaozhong said: "I use a bow. Once someone gets close, I need a teammate to help block the enemy. The strength of a Level 5 genetic warrior is the same as a Soul Realm cultivator. If they have battle armor, their strength is even stronger than the Soul Realm. I know it's a bit difficult for you, a Spirit Perception Realm, to block a Level 5 genetic warrior, but since we are already in a team, you must shoulder your responsibility, otherwise, I would rather change teams."

"No problem, I can block one."

Li Yi said. He had now reached the Great Completion of Gang Qi cultivation and was wearing extraordinary metal armor, plus he had the Fei Eye Needle and supernatural weapons as trump cards; blocking a Level 5 genetic warrior wasn't difficult, and he could even counter-kill.

However, he was relatively humble and didn't dare to say things too fully.

"Very good, I'll believe you once with that sentence," Xia Xiaozhong nodded.

Although she knew that it was unlikely for a Spirit Perception Realm to block a Level 5 genetic warrior, having the title of a Golden Academy student was different. Students were often freaks, many cultivated both paths, and their strength couldn't be judged by common sense.

Xia Xiaozhong also saw Li Yi wearing extraordinary battle armor and carrying a red magic sword, his equipment not simple, which was why she asked.

If it were anyone else, she wouldn't have bothered to speak.

Soon.

Bai Sinan and Tao Lu led two teams to the south gate of the base.

At this moment, the base gate had already opened, but it was pitch black ahead, and nothing could be seen. The air in this world wasn't very good either, and looking up, one couldn't see the stars, only a moon hanging overhead, exceptionally bright. But Li Yi knew that wasn't a moon, but a man-made aerial base.

Besides that, on the horizon in the far distance, Li Yi saw rows of lights turning on. This was the defense line set up by the people of World No. 6, specifically to guard against the invasion of the people of the Heaven-Tilting World.

"Depart."

As time arrived, Bai Sinan gave a low shout, and then a terrifying cosmic energy surged out, turning into a wild wind that swept through, instantly wrapping everyone in it. Then, he carried everyone and soared into the sky at an astonishing speed, like a large Peng bird, rushing into the clouds in just a moment.

Tao Lu's side carried her team and flew close to the ground in another direction.

At the same time, there were people in other directions of the base carrying teams directly toward the opponent's defense line. A rough count showed at least eight Spirit Power Realm powerhouses participating in this operation, and there were at least nearly eighty members of the Spirit Perception Realm and Soul Realm. This number of people could almost start a small war.

And with so many people participating, the purpose was one: sneak in, plunder, destroy.

There was no morality to speak of, because the people of World No. 6 had also killed their way into the Golden Academy not long ago. If they didn't give a counter-attack, the opponent's counter-invasion would become increasingly lawless.
