Chapter 151: Stop the Investigation Now!

Let us set aside the anti-aircraft machine gun for now.

The rocket launchers Su Ping used this time were all regular-channel military hardware, purchased at a high price by Huang Zong and other Registered Disciples after conducting research.

That they could be obtained so smoothly was due in no small part to the goodwill shown by the forces behind the arms dealers.

These were new, high-power rocket launchers specifically designed for armies equipped with exoskeletons.

They are a godsend for those suffering from a phobia of insufficient firepower.

The caliber of this batch of rocket launchers exceeded 120 millimeters, and the rockets themselves were even longer and larger than the older models.

The goal was no longer to destroy a main battle tank with a single shot, but to wipe out an enemy fire support point in one go!

Because of this, shortly after being equipped, they were jokingly dubbed "Bunker Destroyer" due to their insanely high power!

Su Ping took an immediate liking to these rocket launchers, which looked clunky but were excellent and powerful in use.

And when purchasing the rockets, he chose the most powerful model without a second thought.

This time, he laid an ambush on the only path the Immortal Boat could take.

He caught it off guard, forcing it to face this crystallization of technology from Water Blue Star.

Instantly, Su Ping saw the Immortal Boat not far away engulfed by the flames and smoke produced by the explosion.

He could even feel the Immortal Boat's Protective Array shattering after reaching its limit, causing several rockets and anti-aircraft machine gun bullets to strike the body of the Immortal Boat directly, making the entire small vessel shake violently and crack in many places!

Afterward, the entire Immortal Boat turned into a giant fireball, broke through the smoke, and crashed into a dense forest in a graceful parabola, creating a large crater while simultaneously leveling the forest.

The patriarch of the Mo Family inside the Immortal Boat had already been severely injured by the backlash the moment the surprise attack destroyed the Immortal Boat's Defense Barrier.

Then, as the Immortal Boat crashed down, even with a Body Protection Dharma Artifact instinctively trying to save its master,

it still left the Mo Family patriarch completely unconscious.

Su Ping let his divine ability appear for less than two seconds before retracting it.

He then sped toward the crash site of the Immortal Boat.

Looking at the destroyed Immortal Boat, Su Ping, having already understood this, was not surprised it had been destroyed.

Water Blue Star's technological weapons are still very strong in terms of attack power.

But the most important thing was his own good application of them, using his Divine Sense to lock onto the Immortal Boat to ensure the opponent could not dodge.

Tactically, he focused on a sneak attack, leaving the opponent unable to adapt in their haste!

While the rockets were powerful, they were not entirely without countermeasures in the Cultivation World.

The fact that rockets have no Dharma Power fluctuations and cannot be detected in advance is an advantage, but it can also be a disadvantage.

Without protection from Dharma Power, they are easily affected by other spells.

If the opponent understands the attack method of rockets in advance, they can fully activate displacement-type spells, such as the Avoid Arrow Technique, Avoid Rain Technique, or other upgraded versions, to directly deflect the rockets in other directions.

No matter how many rockets are fired, it is meaningless if they cannot hit the target.

Of course, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who also understands these pros and cons, Su Ping would naturally not give the opponent a chance to exploit this flaw.

This is why he was fast, accurate, and ruthless the moment he struck, leaving the opponent no way out!

He had even prepared to throw out the Purple Light Fox Talisman to deliver the finishing blow.

Fortunately, the quality of this batch of military hardware was indeed solid, and the other side really didn't play any tricks, just foolishly keeping the array active to tank the damage.

Thus, it gloriously became the first Immortal Boat shot down by a rocket launcher.

Su Ping stopped when he was within a thousand meters of the Immortal Boat, merely staying on guard without continuing to approach.

He took the opportunity to replenish the ammunition in the rocket launchers, preparing for a second volley.

He waited until Exorcist Mage Yunkong and Fire Knight Alwin flew over carrying the corpse of the Old Ancestor.

Only then did he have Fire Knight Alwin step forward and approach the Immortal Boat.

He controlled Fire Knight's Divine Sense to descend and scan.

Su Ping immediately discovered that the Foundation Establishment of the unconscious Mo Family patriarch was somewhat strange.

Under his Divine Sense, several threads seemed to appear on his body, connecting to several strange auras inside the Immortal Boat.

Fire Knight directly swung his greatsword, releasing a sword aura of flames.

He sliced off the main door of the Immortal Boat's wooden cabin.

In this room, suspected to be the hub of the array, he saw three young cultivators with twisted limbs and heads, their bodies emitting black energy, in a strange, half-dead state, continuously pouring streams of black energy from their bodies into the unconscious Mo Family patriarch.

Su Ping frowned slightly, then quietly stood up and retreated.

At the same time, his sleeve moved, and he threw a Storage Bag forward.

Bang!

As Fire Knight Alwin caught the Storage Bag, he directly swung his sword to sever the black threads between the strange entities and the Mo Family patriarch.

Once the black threads were severed,

the Mo Family patriarch suddenly opened his pitch-black eyes and turned his head to look at Fire Knight Alwin:

"Believe in me; those who believe in me can be liberated from the sorrows and sufferings of the human world and attain Great Freedom!"

"Believe in me; those who believe in me can..."

Before the Mo Family patriarch could finish his words, his head was pierced by a greatsword.

Black energy erupted from his body, letting out hoarse cries as it slammed into Fire Knight, only to be repelled by lightning and flames.

Afterward, this black energy swished back into the bodies of the three people in the cabin.

In the blink of an eye, those three were enveloped by the black energy and merged into one.

It took only a few seconds.

A monster six meters tall, with Three Heads and Six Arms, pitch-black skin, and muscles forged like steel, crawled out from within.

Then... then this monster saw Fire Knight Alwin, who had already gathered the Beidou Tanlang Fist and was waiting for it.

As well as the Cold Ice Array set up in front of him and the three Purple Light Foxes staring at it from above.

At the same time, from a further direction, a palm formed by condensed divine ability was striking over from afar!

Ice, fire, lightning, Greedy Wolf Divine Sense, and Great Freedom Divine Ability.

Each one possessed the ability to restrain evil spirits.

Especially the lightning and Greedy Wolf Divine Sense, which existed like natural enemies against this Evil Spirit power.

This monster, which had looked very formidable just a moment ago.

Vanished in the next second under the siege of Su Ping's ultimate moves.

And after a few seconds, apart from a few Mysterious Remains, there was absolutely no trace left of its existence in the world.

On the spot... only the Immortal Boat remained, appearing dilapidated after being ravaged by the aftermath of the ultimate moves.

Acting on the thought that it might be repairable or the materials could be used, Su Ping had the Memory Illusion, which still had some duration left, help dismantle the Immortal Boat into thousands of parts.

Then, he packed them up and transported them back to the Pot Heaven along with tonight's harvest.

Su Ping then quickly moved away from this place of trouble.

More than ten minutes later.

A Patrol Envoy patrolling this area flew over on an Immortal Boat, and after examining the battlefield traces, deduced a portion of the truth.

"The other party must have been piloting a small Flying Boat and fled in a panic from the blockade zone."

"Then encountered an ambush here?"

"The ambushing side used some kind of explosive Dharma Artifact or Talisman? And the quantity was no less than three digits!"

This Patrol Envoy thought of the scene of his own Immortal Boat being besieged by hundreds of powerful Dharma Artifacts simultaneously, and felt a secret palpitation.

In his view, whoever could drive so many Dharma Artifacts at once was either a well-trained Qi Refining Late Stage squad combined with Foundation Establishment cultivators, or the work of multiple Foundation Establishment cultivators who had set up an array in advance.

Either way, it could have wrecked his small Immortal Boat.

Thus, this Patrol Envoy immediately reported to the higher-ups of the Buxie Alliance, which was formed by several medium and large sects to face such an increasingly outrageous Evil Spirit disaster.

At the same time, this Patrol Envoy found the still-burning ruins of the original dense forest and let out an "eh," discovering that the Exorcism Treasure Mirror in his hand was heating up as a warning.

"An Evil Spirit of high intensity once appeared here!"

"And then, that Evil Spirit was eliminated?"

"Could it be that a High Monk from the Great Golden Light Temple just happened to pass by?"

The Patrol Envoy was very surprised and hurriedly recorded it down.

Not long after, a larger Immortal Boat arrived.

A Great Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage flew down, and after understanding the situation at the scene, he stared at a sword mark for a while and said:

"Stop investigating; it's useless to investigate. If you really find something, it will be bad for both you and me."

"I will report the file directly to the very top."

"Remember, this involves secrets that even those Nascent Soul Great Abilities are unwilling to touch!"

This Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator was clearly thinking of that mysterious red-haired sword cultivator who had dispelled the Evil Eye.

And the subsequent actions of the Nascent Soul Great Abilities that showed clear apprehension.

He immediately did not want to deal with this matter anymore.

Anyway, no Evil Spirit had escaped to harm other cultivators, and the polluted area had not expanded because of it.

This sword cultivator was clearly a good person!

So what was there to investigate!

Hearing these words, the Patrol Envoy also hurriedly gasped, immediately indicating that he had seen nothing and heard nothing this night.

Pot Heaven.

Su Ping did not know that as the reputation of Fire Knight Alwin grew, it instead caused many forces to choose to protect themselves by playing dumb.

He and the maids organized the large quantity of books they had harvested and placed them into the Great Library, categorized by type.

After working for nearly two hours.

Finally!

Su Ping heard a pleasant notification sound.

Immediately, after the Great Library was shrouded in white light for a minute.

It took on a brand-new look, changing from ancient and dilapidated to an ancient Great Library!

The quality remained unchanged as Rare, but it had gained an auxiliary room: a Research Room.

At the same time, the option to recruit librarians and scholars was obtained.

Su Ping looked over and discovered that his ancient Great Library could currently accommodate two librarians or scholars.

Librarians could assist in organizing books and slightly increase the efficiency of reading here.

Scholars could research and improve various things in the Research Room, including but not limited to weapons and equipment, medicinal seed, and even methods of alchemy, talisman-making, and various Martial Dao Divine Skills.

Research progress was related to Su Ping's collection; the more relevant books and the richer the content, the faster the scholar's research speed would be.

Librarians and scholars could be recruited directly using Fishing Coins, and the quality and requirements of five candidates refreshed weekly could be seen on the application board.

If unsatisfied, one could use 100 Fishing Coins to refresh.

It just could not exceed the current recruitment limit.

In addition, the upgrade option for the ancient Great Library still remained.

It was just that the quality requirements for the collection had become higher.

Trying to rely on various miscellaneous books to make up the numbers and take shortcuts was no longer feasible!
