Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

66: Li Yunbin’s arrangement, red sewage“Hmph!”

With just a cold snort, time seemed to stand still, and the massive waves ahead instantly froze.

A black-robed figure appeared above the crowd. He pointed a single finger forward, and the waves in front lost their support and crashed down.

The next moment, a golden longsword suddenly struck from the right.

The female Fishman holding the staff, her blue pupils suddenly changed, and a rotating magical array appeared in front of her, a water wall instantly forming.

But the golden light still passed through the defense, though its speed was slightly delayed.

With a “Puchi~” sound, a large gash was cut into the female Fishman’s right arm.

Directly severing one-third of it!

The sword then slashed downwards, piercing through the heads of one Fishman after another.

Bai Yu watched this shocking battle, then looked in the direction from which the golden longsword came, where a white-haired elder had appeared at some unknown time.

Two Lingyuan Realm Peaks! Both with profound foundations.

This combat power clearly exceeded the scope of ordinary Ling Yuan Realm.

Seeing this, the Fishmen side did not choose to retreat. The Ling Yuan Realm monsters under the water no longer hid, directly rushing out, their target pointing straight at Li Yunbin!

The battle erupted again.

The appearance of two powerhouses surprisingly did not scare off the Fishmen, and the Fishmen side was still constantly increasing its forces! The battle grew more intense.

This made Bai Yu begin to worry if the Fishman Priest would appear if it dragged on.

And the Investigation Bureau, on this side, would inevitably have powerhouses attracted!

The battle grew fiercer, and the number of Fishmen currently appearing was nearly three hundred, terrifying to behold.

The auxiliary personnel on the south bank of Yun Lake also suffered attacks, with casualties appearing.

The fierce battle lasted about a quarter of an hour.

Bai Yu had not yet seen the Fishman Priest, but he heard a large number of sirens.

“Woo~ woo~ woo~”

Many vehicles rushed into the barrier created by the Sky Mirror Realm.

Of course, they could enter because the Sky Mirror Realm actively opened the entrance.

After the vehicles stopped, group after group of Investigation Bureau members disembarked.

However, they were not from Jiangnan District, but from Yundong District!

Yu Rundong, the leader of the Tenth Group of the Yundong District Special Investigation Bureau, was momentarily shocked by the sight of so many monsters in the battle scene.

He had no idea what was happening! He had only received a request for assistance from Jiangnan District.

Yu Rundong looked at the ground covered with monster corpses and the large number of Fishmen in the water, and immediately cursed: “Damn it! Why are there so many Fishmen!? Who poked the Fishmen’s nest!?”

Though he said this, the people from Yundong District were not idle; they immediately joined the battle.

And on their side, two Ling Yuan Realm powerhouses had also arrived.

If all the Fishmen were left behind, it would certainly be a great achievement.

As the Human Race side received more and more support, the Fishmen side had exhausted their trump cards.

Ultimately, the scales of victory naturally tilted towards the Investigation Bureau.

Bai Yu, in his heart, remained vigilant about the possible intervention of a Linghai Realm existence like the Fishman Priest.

But even after the people from Yundong District arrived and the battle continued for another quarter of an hour, no further tactics were seen from the Fishmen side.

Instead, at the sound of a strange ‘woo woo’ horn, the Fishmen, who had originally appeared determined to fight to the death, immediately scurried into the water and began to scatter in all directions.

The investigators from Yundong District were in excellent condition at this moment and naturally did not want to miss the opportunity to gain merit. They immediately deployed equipment to blockade this water area, trying their best to annihilate these guys!

At the same time, Yu Rundong and the other four group leaders also came before Li Yunbin.

Yu Rundong seemed quite familiar with Li Yunbin and cursed, “What the hell are you doing, bringing this mess to our territory? Tell me! Why are there so many Fishmen here?”

As he spoke, he glanced at the two powerhouses from the Li family.

“If you don’t explain clearly, even if your Li family powerhouses are here, we won’t let you go!”

The two Li family powerhouses and the Investigation Bureau powerhouses who heard this just smiled and didn’t mind.

Li Yunbin’s tone remained as calm as ever: “For a treasure.”

Hearing this, Bai Yu also began to ponder in his heart.

‘The Captain definitely won’t tell the real situation. I just don’t know how he’ll continue.’

Yu Rundong looked at the sky; the heavy rain was still falling, and the clouds looked a bit strange.

The descent of top-tier treasures often brings about unusual natural phenomena. And now that so many Fishmen have been attracted, this treasure must be extraordinary!

He didn’t abruptly ask if he could see it or anything like that, but simply asked curiously, “Can you tell me what level it is? I need to have some idea, to make it easier to write a report when I go back.”

Li Yunbin’s tone was still calm: “Level five.”

A level five treasure is something even Linghai Realm powerhouses desire; it’s already very impressive.

Upon hearing Li Yunbin unhesitatingly say “level five,” the four group leaders present, as well as the numerous investigators, were all shocked! This included the members of the Seventh Group; although they had some suspicions when they were setting up before, they had now indeed received confirmation from Li Yunbin!

Of course, seeing Li Yunbin say it so casually, everyone might think it was a level six.

Level six, that is absolutely a treasure even Fifth Realm powerhouses would need.

It’s just that no one could have imagined it was a level seven treasure. The Fishmen probably couldn’t detect it so accurately either.

Yu Rundong was even more shocked: “Level five!!! You guys…”

He wanted to say that they were truly bold, doing this in their jurisdiction without contacting them earlier.

But thinking of Li Yunbin’s identity, he swallowed his words halfway through.

Li Yunbin, however, said frankly: “This treasure belongs to my Li family.”

“As for the merit from this battle, it all belongs to you all.”

“In addition, my Li family will provide extra compensation.”

After speaking, Li Yunbin took out a light gold cloth, which clearly wrapped a pearl.

More importantly, a cool, moist, rich Spiritual Qi emanated from within the pearl, and the golden cloth couldn’t even conceal the blue light it emitted, indicating its extraordinary nature at a glance.

Bai Yu: The Captain actually prepared a treasure! As expected, it’s much more complete than I anticipated.

Having such a Captain, he felt very at ease.

After Li Yunbin finished speaking, he looked at the white-haired elder who had used the golden longsword and said, “Yang Lao, please trouble him to escort it back to the clan.”

“Mm.”

The pearl, guided by some unknown force, flew into Yang Lao’s hand, then disappeared.

Seeing this, Bai Yu also understood a bit more in his heart.

Yang Lao was so cooperative.

Then this script must have been fully arranged by the Captain before he even came!

Perhaps, even the escort process wouldn’t be low-key; instead, it would be a bit ostentatious, letting more people know about this news!

The Captain is attributing the matter of this treasure to the Li family.

‘Although with the Li family’s status, they aren’t afraid of such trouble. But for me, this is absolutely a huge favor!’

‘So many complex operations, just to satisfy my selfish little wish – to keep the jiaolong pearl in my hands.’

Thinking of this, he was indeed very moved and somewhat ashamed.

But it’s still the same old saying:

In the Spiritual Qi resurgence, only the strong can control their destiny! This principle is eternal.

It’s impossible for him to willingly hand over the treasure obtained from the first purple intelligence. Unless the information obtained in today’s intelligence truly cannot be achieved!

And everyone present, after feeling the terrifying energy of this pearl, felt that things should indeed unfold this way.

The Li family made arrangements in advance and seized a level five treasure from the Fishmen!

Everyone wants a treasure of this level.

Bai Yu did have one, but the part of the thunder scepter currently displayed didn’t seem like a level five treasure, and in everyone’s perception, Bai Yu only took something from a level three treasure vault.

This included the Seventh Team members.

Even Bai Yu hasn’t fully developed its functions yet, and doesn’t know why it’s classified as a level five treasure.

The script proceeded normally, and no one was suspicious.

Yu Rundong and the others were considered workers for the Investigation Bureau; they didn’t have significant backgrounds, and even if they obtained a treasure, they wouldn’t be able to use it themselves.

Otherwise, they would eventually be assassinated by monsters!

So there was nothing to envy.

Now, the biggest problem was naturally dealing with the battlefield.

Seeing the large number of bodies floating on the lake, everyone was still somewhat excited.

The Tenth Group members estimated: “Good heavens! There are at least over two hundred bodies, at least twenty High-Level Fishmen! Plus one Ling Yuan Realm giant monster and two Ling Yuan Realm Fishmen. These things are worth at least fifty thousand contribution points, right?”

“The main thing is still that treasure!”

“Sigh~ Even if we got the news early, without the Li family’s background, we wouldn’t be able to get our hands on it. Even if we did, we wouldn’t live to use it. Contribution points are more practical!”

“That’s true.”

“That statement is indeed flawless.”

Bai Yu, as an inconspicuous ‘minor character,’ naturally cleaned up the scene honestly.

He just looked at the crimson water and remembered the sewer he saw when he first emerged from the water.

For some reason, he always felt there was a problem!

Thinking of this, he went into the sewer and looked at the direction of the pipes. Then he returned to the cliff and searched along the pipeline route.

He then saw a villa complex in the distance.

Grey-blue bricks and tiles, three-story buildings, balconies.

‘Holy crap!!!’

‘Isn’t this the villa area from the research notes!?’

‘It’s right next to Yun Lake! It fits perfectly!’

‘It couldn’t be…’”
