He Ate a Divine Dragon-Chapter 494 - 492: A New Opportunity

Sixth Master replied.

"I do know, but kid, there's too much I can't reveal to you. However, I can tell you that you are indeed in danger. As for the modified humans you mentioned, they are real. To be precise, they are called Genetic Warriors!"

"Genetic Warriors?" Lin Xiao was slightly startled.

"Yes, these Genetic Warriors are from a genetics laboratory jointly established by seven countries. They select suitable candidates from all over the world for modification, after which they become Genetic Warriors. You could say these Genetic Warriors are targeting our country, or to be more precise, they are targeting you!"

"Are they very strong?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"Yes, monstrously strong, so you have to be careful!"

"I will be," Lin Xiao responded.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. I'll tell you the specifics later. What you need to do now is protect yourself and Su Qingning. Also, recover your cultivation as soon as possible!"

"I know!"

They hung up.

Seeing Shen Jingzhe looking at him curiously, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Your guess was right; they have indeed been artificially modified. My sixth master told me it's a genetics laboratory set up by a coalition of seven foreign countries. These people are the products of that lab!"

"Understood," Shen Jingzhe said calmly.

"Jing Zhe, with your cultivation, could you handle a Genetic Warrior if you encountered one?"

"If they're at the same level as the ones tonight, I think I could. But if they're more powerful, I'm afraid it would be very difficult," Shen Jingzhe admitted candidly.

She was now keenly aware of just how terrifying the strength of those Genetic Warriors was. Moreover, her intuition told her that they were probably just the most basic models. If they were to face upgraded versions, her current strength would be no match for them.

Yes, she could feel the pressure. To be honest, none of this really had anything to do with her. After all, she had heard the person on the phone say that these Genetic Warriors were coming for Lin Xiao. But for some reason, Shen Jingzhe felt as if Lin Xiao's problems were her own. That was why she felt pressured.

Hearing Shen Jingzhe's words, Lin Xiao's heart sank. He was well aware of her cultivation level. If even she felt pressure, then the enemy's strength was clearly terrifying.

Seeing Shen Jingzhe's brow furrowed, Lin Xiao smiled. "Don't worry, I'll figure something out!"

"The best thing you can do right now is recover your cultivation," Shen Jingzhe stated coldly.

"I know."

This was indeed the best solution to all his problems. After all, once he recovered his cultivation, the so-called Genetic Warriors would be nothing more than pushovers. Moreover, the figures from the martial arts world would certainly stop targeting Su Qingning.

However, Su Qingning had suffered a huge blow today. Lin Xiao knew she was in a terrible mood and was in no mind for that kind of thing.

"Well then, good luck."

With those words, Shen Jingzhe turned and went back into the villa. Lin Xiao didn't follow. Instead, he turned and dialed Xiang Nai's number.

It was time for that dog to prove its use.

Xiang Nai answered instantly.

"Ma-Master, is… is something the matter?" Xiang Nai's trembling voice came through the phone.

Lin Xiao smiled. "Xiang Nai, do you know about the genetics laboratory?"

The moment he said this, Xiang Nai was stunned. This was one of the Cherry Blossom Country's highest-level secrets. Honestly, she had only ever heard the term by chance when she overheard her father on a call. Later, when Xiang Nai had asked her father what the genetics laboratory was, all she got was a harsh scolding. He had ordered her never to mention those words again. Her father had always doted on her, yet he had reprimanded her like never before. It was then that Xiang Nai realized the genetics laboratory was top-secret information that could not be leaked to outsiders. Otherwise, her father would never have treated her that way.

"Speak!" Lin Xiao's icy voice cut through her thoughts, laced with a hint of anger.

Xiang Nai snapped back to her senses and stammered, "I… I don't know!"

Even if she did, she wouldn't dare say a word. If this information were leaked, it would likely send shockwaves across the entire world.

"No, it's not that you don't know. You're just courting death!" Lin Xiao said coldly.

His indifferent voice was like a sharp sword piercing her body. The stunningly beautiful woman shuddered.

It was fear. A deep, profound fear.

She could detect the terrifying killing intent in his voice.

"Master, I… I really don't know! I just… I just heard my father mention the term once, that's all!" Xiang Nai's voice was already thick with sobs, clearly on the verge of tears from fright.

"Then go find out. You have one day. I want the most basic information on everything about the genetics laboratory. If you fail, watch your head!"

With that threat hanging in the air, Lin Xiao hung up. He certainly wouldn't be polite to a dog like Xiang Nai. After ending the call, he turned and went back to his room.

On the other end of the line, Xiang Nai was plunged into endless agony. On the one hand, she knew what awaited her if she offended Lin Xiao; death would likely be the lightest punishment. She certainly didn't want to die, or she wouldn't have submitted to his control in the first place. But on the other hand, the Cherry Blossom Country was her homeland. She couldn't bring herself to betray it.

As she was agonizing, a dark figure appeared before her, two katanas strapped to his back.

"Mistress, what's wrong?" he asked in a low voice.

Xiang Nai glanced at her guard with a pained expression. "It's nothing!"

"Mistress, please tell me. Let me share your burden!"

Xiang Nai hesitated for a moment before saying grimly, "That man is forcing me to find information about the genetics laboratory!"

The shadow's pupils dilated. He was clearly stunned.

"Mistress, the genetics laboratory is an absolute secret of the Cherry Blossom Country, and not just for us, but for the other six nations as well. If it were to leak, it would likely cause a worldwide shock. After all, the research being conducted there is utterly inhumane. Not only that, if the leak is traced back to you, I'm afraid not even the royal family could protect you!"

"I know, that's why I'm in such agony!" Xiang Nai crouched down, clutching her head.

The shadow was silent for a moment before speaking in a low tone. "Mistress, I have an idea!"

"What is it?"

"Seduce him."

"We've tried that before. It was useless!" Xiang Nai said helplessly.

Her guard said gravely, "We can drug him. I've heard that Jiuzhou produces a very potent aphrodisiac. Once you have him, you'll have something to hold over his head. Then, he will have to do as you command!"

Hearing this, Xiang Nai's eyes lit up.

Then, she laughed, her smile as brilliant as the sun breaking through after a heavy rainstorm.
