Medical and Martial God

Ye Xiu used 4 hours and 51 minutes to finally set up a sound-isolation array around the steel-reinforced underground basement.

At this time, he drew out his Battle Soul Blade, and effortlessly cut through the two-meter-thick steel wall, carving out a hole just big enough for one person to pass through.

He passed through the hole and entered the basement!

Immediately, he saw the array foundation in the center of the room.

But around the foundation, multiple formations were set up.

”Next, I need about 10 hours to break the formations surrounding the foundation.”

Ye Xiu was about to begin breaking the formations.

Stone Mirror suddenly received a message from Leng Yue:

”Young master, Ghost Shadow reports that the Red Water City Lord plans to have ordinary civilians leave the city at 2 AM night, while he uses the chaos to lead all martial artists in the city to the Royal City;”

”Additionally, the first batch of food collected by various city mansions on King Island has already begun to be loaded onto trucks, ready to be transported to the Royal City;”

”Moreover, the Allied Forces from all global nations, Heavenly Sect, Hell’s Gate, Restorer Alliance, Prisoners’ Descendants Alliance, and Lin Feng’s army, the six-way forces have all arrived at Xiaoyao Island.”

After reading, Ye Xiu replied with a simple ”Acknowledged,” put away the Stone Mirror, and began breaking the formations.

hours and 47 minutes later.

It was already past 7 AM the next day!

”Three more hours, and I can destroy the foundation!”

Ye Xiu approached the foundation, murmuring to himself:

”I hope Lin Lei hasn’t found any clues yet.”

Saying this, he cautiously began to destroy the foundation.

Meanwhile, in the underground Transcendent Laboratory, in the responsible person’s office, Lin Lei paced back and forth anxiously, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding, as if a terrible crisis was approaching.

”Knock knock knock!”

A knock on the door echoed!

Lin Lei hastily looked toward the office door: ”Come in!”

The responsible person pushed the door open and entered: ”Your Majesty, Yuan Yao’s memory has been extracted.”

He then handed Lin Lei a stack of A4 papers.

Lin Lei quickly accepted them and started reading the contents on the A4 papers, one by one.

On the papers were diagrams similar to brainwave fluctuation charts, but beneath the brainwave fluctuation lines, words were written.

”What? Lei Xiaoming is Ye Xiu in disguise?”

After reading, Lin Lei seemed shocked, letting out a terrified scream.

Beside him, the Guard’s face changed dramatically: ”How is this possible, Lei Xiaoming could not be Ye Xiu in disguise. Even if Ye Xiu wanted to infiltrate the Royal City with the Facial Transformation Technique, he wouldn’t need to disguise as the useless Lei Xiaoming.”

The Transcendent Laboratory’s responsible person said: ”The extraction of memory from the corpse is still incomplete, but anything extracted is real. I suspect Yuan Yao uncovered Ye Xiu’s identity, and hence was silenced.”

Lin Lei said nothing, remaining silent with his head lowered for several minutes.

Suddenly, he addressed the laboratory’s responsible person:

”Use your office’s telegraph to send my words to the Thousand Mechanism Hall.”

A king’s orders can only be conveyed through Lin Lei himself and the special telegraph of the Thousand Mechanism Hall.

”Yes, sir!”

The responsible person quickly ran to the telegraph, awaiting Lin Lei’s command.

Lin Lei contemplated and said:

”First, command the Red Water City Lord to lead all martial artists in the city to continue defending Red Water City;”

”Second, instruct all new city lords on King Island to immediately hide, stop collecting food, and do not transport any food to the Royal City;”

”Third, send someone to capture Lei Busi and deliver him to Yunluo Academy;”

”Fourth, enforce martial law throughout the city, and have all Earth System Totem Inheritors at the four city gates’ underground areas to prevent Ye Xiu from escaping the Royal City from below.”

After speaking, without waiting for the laboratory’s responsible person to finish sending the telegraph, he said to the Guard:

”Let’s go, follow me to Yunluo Academy’s library.”

”Yes, sir!”

The Guard promptly followed Lin Lei out.

After getting on the car parked in the secret passage, the Guard, while starting the vehicle, asked:

”Your Majesty, why don’t you directly use the Shocking God and Demon Formation to kill Ye Xiu?”

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Lin Lei’s expression took on a grim look:

”The power of the Shocking God and Demon Formation is enormous, yet it lacks a search function. The Royal City is vast, with 8 million people, I have no idea where Ye Xiu is.”

The Guard was taken aback: ”Isn’t he in the Yunluo Academy library?”

Lin Lei shook his head: ”What if he’s not? If I use the Shocking God and Demon Formation, won’t I just alert him? Even if he’s in the library, I don’t know which floor or meditation room he’s in. The Yunluo Academy library holds many rare books and unique copies. If I directly destroy the library with the formation, the losses would be too great.”

The Guard understood and immediately stopped questioning, focusing on driving!

This secret passage directly connects the Royal Palace to the Transcendent Laboratory, so Lin Lei had to return to the Royal Palace first before heading to Yunluo Academy.

...

Ye Xiu was destroying the foundation when You Ming suddenly sent a text message:

”Young master, you’ve been exposed, Lin Lei already knows that Lei Xiaoming is you in disguise, and he just sent several orders to the Thousand Mechanism Hall...”

The message was followed by a recording of the people inside the Thousand Mechanism Hall.

After listening to the recording, Ye Xiu nearly abandoned the foundation destruction and fled.

But then he reconsidered!

Why didn’t Lin Lei order directly, but went through the Thousand Mechanism Hall?

”Lin Lei is not in the Royal Palace!”

Ye Xiu instantly made a precise judgment:

”In Lin Lei’s orders to the Thousand Mechanism Hall, Kristina was not mentioned. Clearly, Lin Lei intends to return to the Royal Palace himself to pick up Kristina and head to Yunluo Academy together.”

”I still have time, hopefully, Lin Lei’s location for sending the telegraph to the Thousand Mechanism Hall is far from the Royal Palace. If it’s near the Royal Palace, I might not have enough time to destroy the foundation.”

Ye Xiu decided to take a gamble!

Bet that Lin Lei’s telegraph location to the Thousand Mechanism Hall is far from the Royal Palace;

Bet that Lin Lei will take his time when picking up Kristina from the Royal Palace;

Bet that Lin Lei and Kristina will take a car to Yunluo Academy rather than rush by foot;

Bet that the library administrator Wang Cuilan can help buy some time;

”These may not necessarily buy me 3 hours.”

Ye Xiu hesitated for a moment and sent a text message to the Heavenly Sect Leader Jiang Keqing, asking:

”Does Heavenly Sect have assassins or intelligence personnel in the Royal City?”

Jiang Keqing: ”Yes, what do you want to do?”

Ye Xiu was delighted: ”Help me contact Fifth Prince Lin Fan in Lei Xiaoming’s name, and have him send people to lure the martial artists from Red Water City who have just been moved to the Royal City to the road near Yunluo Academy; also have him find Yufei to lure Kristina away.”

Jiang Keqing: ”What games are you playing?”

Ye Xiu: ”I need time to destroy the Royal City’s Shocking God and Demon Formation.”

Jiang Keqing: ”Understood, don’t worry, I’ll do everything possible to win you time.”

Jiang Keqing understood well what the Shocking God and Demon Formation was. As long as the formation was under Lin Lei’s control, the six-way forces wouldn’t dare attack the Royal City.

And if the Shocking God and Demon Formation were destroyed, this war would be half won!
