Chapter 208: Chapter 151: We Cannot Investigate Any Further!

Let’s set aside the anti-aircraft machine guns for the moment.

The rocket launchers Su Ping used this time all came from regular channels, acquired at great cost after research by President Huang and other Registered Disciples.

Getting them so smoothly was not without friendly gestures from the forces behind the arms dealers.

This was a new type of high-power rocket launcher specially designed for an army equipped with exoskeletons.

It’s a godsend for those who suffer from a phobia of inadequate firepower.

The caliber of these rocket launchers exceeded 120 millimeters, and the rockets were even longer and larger compared to the older models.

They were no longer aiming to destroy a main battle tank with a single shot, but to obliterate an enemy’s firepower position with one!

As a result, not long after they were put into service, due to their frightening power, they were jokingly referred to as bunker destroyers!

Su Ping took an immediate liking to this rocket launcher that appeared dumb and black but was actually very powerful and efficient.

When it came to purchasing rockets, he did not hesitate to choose the most powerful model available.

This time, they lay in ambush at an inevitable pass for the Immortal Boat.

Thus it was that they hastily encountered this technological crystal from Water Blue Star.

Immediately, Su Ping saw the Immortal Boat not far away being engulfed by flames and smoke from the explosion.

He also sensed that the defensive array of the Immortal Boat reached its limit before shattering, allowing several rockets as well as bullets from the anti-aircraft machine guns to strike directly upon the body of the Immortal Boat, causing the not-so-large vessel to shake violently and crack in multiple places!

Then the entire Immortal Boat turned into a massive fireball, broke through the smoke, and plummeted in a beautiful parabola directly into a dense forest, creating a huge crater and flattening the woods.

The Mo Family Head inside the Immortal Boat had already been severely injured by backlash when the vessel’s protective barrier was destroyed in the instant of the surprise attack.

Even as the Immortal Boat crashed down, protective magic artifacts attempted to save their owner in vain.

The Mo Family Head had already fallen into deep unconsciousness.

Su Ping’s Divine Skill then appeared for no more than two seconds before he retracted it.

Afterwards, he raced towards the crash site of the Immortal Boat.

Looking at the destroyed Immortal Boat, Su Ping, who had some understanding of it, was not surprised it had been destroyed.

The military technology of Blue Star was indeed strong in terms of offensive capability.

However, the most important thing was making good use of it, using his Divine Sense to lock onto the Immortal Boat, ensuring it couldn’t avoid the attack, while also employing a tactical surprise attack to prevent the enemy from making an effective response.

As powerful as rocket munitions are, there are, in fact, countermeasures against them in the Immortal Cultivation World.

The advantage of rockets is that they do not have mana fluctuations and cannot be detected in advance; however, that can also be a disadvantage.

Without protection by mana, they are easily affected by other spells.

If the enemy knows in advance about the attack method of the rockets, they can activate transfer spells like upgraded versions of Arrow Avoidance Technique or Rain Avoidance Technique to deflect the rockets in another direction.

If no matter how many rockets are fired they do not hit the target, they are meaningless.

Of course, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who understands these strengths and weaknesses, Su Ping would not give his opponent the chance to exploit this flaw.

That’s why he struck fast and ruthlessly, leaving no chance of survival to the enemy!

He even prepared Purple Light Fox Talismans to finish the job if necessary.

Luckily, this batch of traditional arms were of high quality. The enemy evidently didn’t play any tricks; they were simply foolish enough to resist with their arrays, becoming the first Immortal Boat to be taken down by a rocket launcher.

Su Ping stopped at a distance of a thousand meters from the Immortal Boat and remained on alert, not approaching further.

He then took the opportunity to reload the rocket launcher, preparing for a second volley.

After waiting for the Exorcism Mage Yun Kong and Fire Knight Elvin to arrive with the corpse of their Old Ancestor,

he allowed Fire Knight Elvin to approach the Immortal Boat.

Taking control, the Fire Knight used his Divine Sense to scan the area.

Su Ping immediately noticed something strange about the unconscious Mo Family Head’s Foundation Establishment.

Under the Divine Sense, there seemed to be several threads on his body, connected to several peculiar presences inside the Immortal Boat.

The Fire Knight swung his Great Sword, releasing a slash of Flame Sword Qi.

It cut through the main door of the Immortal Boat’s wooden cabin.

Inside what seemed to be the room housing the array’s hub, three young Cultivators, with twisted limbs, heads, and bodies emitting black Qi, were in a half-dead, eerie state. They constantly exuded streams of black energy, which flowed into the unconscious Mo Family Head.

Su Ping slightly frowned then quietly got up and backed away.

At the same time, he flicked his sleeve and threw a storage bag forward.

Bang!

Fire Knight Elvin caught the storage bag and, without hesitation, slashed his sword, severing the sinister black threads connecting the young Cultivators to the Mo Family Head.

As soon as the threads were cut,

the Mo Family Head suddenly opened his pitch-black eyes and turned to look at Fire Knight Elvin:

“Believe in me, those who believe shall be freed from the sorrows of the world and achieve great liberation!”

“Believe in me, those who believe…”

Before the Mo Family Head could finish speaking, he was run through the head by a Great Sword.

Black Qi erupted from his body, emitting husky cries as it slammed against the Fire Knight, only to be repelled by the thunder and flames.

Immediately, the black Qi returned to those three people in the cabin.

In just a few seconds,

a Monster with six-meter height, three heads and six arms, pitch-black skin, and muscles as solid as steel, emerged from within.

And then… the Monster saw Fire Knight Elvin, already poised with North Dipper Greedy Wolf Fist, waiting for it.

As well as the Cold Ice Array in front of him, and the three-headed Purple Light Fox that hovered overhead, staring at him.

At the same time, from a greater distance, a palm formed of divine skills was furiously approaching, headed straight for him!

Cold Ice, Flame, Thunder Light, Greedy Wolf Divine Sense, and the Divine Skill of supreme ease.

Each one possessed the ability to restrain monsters and evil spirits.

Especially the Thunder Light and Greedy Wolf Divine Sense—they were like natural enemies to the power of the evil spirit.

The monster that had seemed so formidable just a moment ago…

The next second, it vanished under the onslaught of Su Ping’s big move.

And within a few seconds, except for some residual evil spirit debris, it left no trace of its existence in this world.

What remained… was the Immortal Boat in front of him, which now looked ravaged and dilapidated from the aftermath of the big move.

With thoughts of potentially repairing it or at least salvaging materials, Su Ping had the lingering Memory Illusions help him disassemble the Immortal Boat into over a thousand parts.

He then packed them up, along with the night’s harvest, and transported them back to the Pot Cave Heaven first.

Su Ping promptly left the area of conflict.

More than ten minutes later.

The Inspection Envoy patrolling the area flew over in an Immortal Boat, surveyed the battle marks, and inferred part of the truth.

“The other party must have driven a small flying boat, escaping in panic from the blockade area.”

“Then encountered an ambush at this location?”

“The ambusher used some sort of explosive Magic Artifact or talisman, and there were no fewer than three digits of them!”

This Inspection Envoy thought about the scene of his own Immortal Boat being besieged by hundreds of potent Magic Artifacts and shuddered inwardly.

In his opinion, the forces capable of activating so many Magic Artifacts simultaneously were either a well-trained Qi Cultivation squad in the late period with a Foundation Establishment combination or, even more frighteningly, several Foundation Establishment cultivators who had arranged the Formation in advance.

Either situation could be a trap for his modest Immortal Boat.

So, the Inspection Envoy immediately reported to the higher-ups of the Evil Exorcism Alliance, an organization formed by several medium to large sects to face the increasingly outrageous evil spirit disasters.

Meanwhile, the Inspection Envoy found the still-burning remains of the original dense forest and exclaimed in surprise as he discovered that the Evil Exorcism Treasure Mirror in his hand was heating up as a warning.

“A strong evil spirit presence was here!”

“And then, the evil spirit was eliminated?”

“Could it be that a high monk from the Golden Ray Monastery happened to pass by?”

The Inspection Envoy was astonished and quickly made a record of his findings.

Before long, a larger Immortal Boat arrived.

A great cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment flew down and, after understanding the situation on the scene, stared at a sword mark and said after a moment of silence:

“Stop the investigation, it’s useless to continue. If we really find something, it might be bad for both you and me.”

“I will report the files directly to the highest authority.”

“Remember, this involves secrets that even the Golden Core great powers are reluctant to touch!”

This late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator obviously thought of the mysterious red-haired Sword Cultivator who had expelled the Evil Eye.

And the subsequent actions of the Golden Core great powers that clearly exhibited wariness.

He immediately didn’t want to deal with it any longer.

After all, no evil spirit escaped to harm other cultivators, and the contaminated area did not expand because of this.

This Sword Cultivator was clearly a good person!

Then there was no need to investigate any further!

The Inspection Envoy, upon hearing this, also hastily drew in a breath of cold air and immediately asserted that he saw nothing and heard nothing all night.

Pot Cave Heaven.

Su Ping had no idea that as the renown of Elvin, the Fire Knight, grew, it led many forces to opt for prudence, turning a deaf ear and a blind eye.

He and the maids organized the large number of books they had collected, categorizing and placing them into the grand library.

After about two busy hours.

Finally!

Su Ping heard a pleasant notification sound.

Immediately, the grand library was enveloped in a white light for one minute.

It was transformed anew, from an old, deteriorating library to an ancient grand library!

The quality remained rare, and it even gained an additional room: a research lab.

He also gained the option to recruit librarians and scholars.

Su Ping looked over to find that his ancient grand library could now accommodate two librarians or scholars.

Librarians could assist in organizing the books, slightly increasing the reading efficiency here.

Scholars could research and improve various things in the research lab, including but not limited to weapons, medicinal plant seeds, and methods of alchemy and talisman painting, as well as various Martial Path Divine Skills.

The research progress was related to Su Ping’s book collection—the more relevant books he had, the richer their content, and the faster the scholars could research.

Librarians and scholars could be recruited directly using Fishing Coins, and one could see the quality and demands of five candidates refreshed weekly on the application list.

If unsatisfied, one could refresh using 100 Fishing Coins.

But one could not exceed the current recruitment limit.

Moreover, the option to upgrade the ancient grand library was still available.

However, the quality requirements for the books became higher.

Trying to cheat by bulk-upgrading with a variety of miscellaneous books was no longer possible!
