Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 453: The Yaomei’s Betrayal Must Be Punished

Chapter 453: The Yaomei's Betrayal Must Be Punished

"I... I..."

Inside, Zhao Lin was already cursing Shen Mo's ancestors up to the eighteenth generation.

She had only wanted to use this excuse to get closer to Shen Mo.

How could she possibly understand such obscure and difficult content?

It was simply impossible for her to recite the first paragraph, sixth line on the spot.

From behind the door, Shen Mo shook his head. "You have no talent in this field. Don’t waste your time anymore."

"As for repairing the blood energy cannons, such a small matter doesn’t need me. Let Old Wang handle it."

Zhao Lin panicked. "Commander Shen, the problems with those six blood energy cannons are very serious! Only you can fix them!"

Shen Mo crossed his arms. "Then tell me, what’s wrong with them?"

Zhao Lin immediately said, "Two cannons have blackened barrels and can't fire properly."

"One cannon is rapidly draining the operator’s blood energy."

"And the other three have severe balance issues; they often fire crooked shots, almost hitting the city walls."

She spoke confidently.

She had long memorized all the faults of the blood energy cannons.

These were problems that were difficult to solve even under normal circumstances.

She believed that Shen Mo wouldn’t be able to diagnose the issues so easily and would have to come with her to the barracks to inspect them in person.

That way, she would have a chance to accomplish her goal.

After hearing her out, Shen Mo immediately said, "The blackened barrels are caused by demonic energy contamination. Just dismantle them and soak them in a spiritual water pool for ten days."

"The rapid blood energy drain is due to damage in the sixth pathway of the enhancement array. Simply re-engrave it."

"The balance issues are even simpler — just replace the gun mounts."

"No need for Old Wang to go either. Heitan, you go and handle it."

Zhao Lin was dumbfounded.

Li Heitan patted his chest seriously. "Don’t worry, Brother Shen. You’ve explained the problems so clearly, it'll be simple for me to fix them! I guarantee success!"

As he spoke, he leapt over the Armory gate.

"Centurion Zhao, let’s go. Commander Shen has important matters to attend to, so I’ll help you with the repairs."

Zhao Lin clenched her teeth so hard she nearly cracked them.

In the end, she could only force out a strained smile. "Alright, then I’ll trouble you, brother."

"It's a shame I couldn’t meet Commander Shen personally. He’s always been my idol."

Li Heitan waved his hand proudly. "No worries. I see Brother Shen every day. I’ll pass the message along for you."

Zhao Lin, "…"

‘Can you just die already?’

Shen Mo returned to the Grade A warehouse.

Yet he noticed that his Life Panel still hadn’t changed.

His eyebrows raised slightly.

"If they had managed to lure me out of the Armory, it would have been easy to engineer an accident and steal fragments of my clothing."

"But now that their scheme failed..."

"There’s only one option left."

"They’ll take a desperate risk and attempt a nighttime theft."

Shen Mo chuckled lightly.

Originally, he didn’t have solid evidence of collusion with the Demon Clan.

But if they had to act out of desperation and sneak into the Armory at night...

Such an act of betrayal would be irrefutable proof.

...

As night fell.

The Armory was as peaceful as always.

A shadow, nimble and sleek like a black cat, leapt lightly over the Armory’s main gate, landing soundlessly.

The Armory had no protective formations.

After all, this was within the fortress itself.

If even inside the fortress, each barracks had its own formations, that would be an absurd waste of resources.

After all, every supreme-grade spirit stone and every formation had to be earned through hard-won battle merits.

"Damn it..."

"This Shen Mo is way too cautious."

Zhao Lin gritted her teeth as she stared at the row of buildings.

The Demon Clan’s side had issued her mission orders a month ago.

"I... I..."

Inside, Zhao Lin was already cursing Shen Mo’s ancestors up to the eighteenth generation.

She had just wanted to use that excuse to get close to Shen Mo.

Now, having lost the chance to lure Shen Mo out of the Armory, Zhao Lin could only take desperate measures and attempt to steal what she needed.

"If it weren’t for the Demon Clan offering treasures from the sea floor, I wouldn’t risk my life for this!"

Fuming inwardly, Zhao Lin still moved lightly and swiftly.

She quickly approached the row of buildings.

She knew Shen Mo was one of the few Demon Suppression Guards who recently entered the Armory.

Thus, it wasn’t hard to deduce which houses he might be living in.

At worst, she would just check them one by one.

"Not this one..."

"Not this either..."

"Dammit, that’s the dark-skinned guy from earlier... snores like thunder..."

"Hmm? This one!"

Very quickly, Zhao Lin located Shen Mo’s room.

She performed a movement technique, her body like a shadow, slipping silently into the room.

She didn’t intend to wake Shen Mo.

She just wanted to slice off a piece of his clothing and leave.

However, just as she pulled out a small knife, the room suddenly burst into dazzling light.

The intense brilliance momentarily blinded her.

Startled and furious, Zhao Lin instinctively tried to retreat.

Yet in the blink of an eye, strange silk-like threads ensnared her limbs.

No matter how hard she struggled, it was useless.

The threads tightened and became stronger, binding her completely.

It was like she had been caught in a spider’s web.

A calm voice came from behind her.

"Looking for something, Centurion Zhao?"

The light in the room slowly faded.

Only then did Zhao Lin see the young figure who circled around her before standing in front of her.

There was no need to guess who this overly youthful man was.

It was her target — Shen Mo!

"C-Commander Shen, what are you doing? I said earlier, I'm your admirer..."

Zhao Lin forced out a shaky smile.

For some reason, her entire skin was flushing into a strange shade of crimson.

The array’s threads outlined every curve of her body.

She looked pitiful and alluring at the same time.

Zhao Lin’s eyes turned misty with charm. "I just... admired you too much, so I made a foolish decision, hoping to meet you."

As she spoke, a faint, silky pink mist seemed to spread through the air.

However, the moment it neared Shen Mo, it was effortlessly blocked by the spiritual energy surrounding him.

"Yaomei Scripture? How amusing. You actually obtained such a technique from the Demon Clan."

Shen Mo chuckled, instantly recognizing what the faint powder was.

The Yaomei Scripture — one of the lower-tier techniques among the Demon Clan’s many arts.

Usually only female demons cultivated it.

It could stimulate the lust of male demons and greatly enhance their ability to reproduce.

It was largely thanks to this art that the Demon Clan was able to reproduce so rapidly.

After slight modification, even the bodies of the other three races could practice the Yaomei Scripture.

Those who cultivated it would undergo rapid physical changes, making it easy to seduce and attract males of their kind.

This seductive powder was one of the techniques derived from the Yaomei Scripture.

However, against Shen Mo, it was utterly ineffective.

Even with the Nine Nether Ice Flame quietly burning within him, it easily protected him against such seduction attempts.

Not to mention, he also had Divine Thunder Force — spiritual energy that naturally repelled the charm mist.

"You... you aren’t affected at all?!"

Zhao Lin’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Her method had worked on many Demon Suppression Guards before.

Any ordinary man would have lost control under the effects of the charm powder.

Yet this Shen Mo remained calm as still water.

'Just who is this man?!'

"Those who collude with demons must be executed."

Shen Mo’s expression remained calm as he casually struck her, sending a surge of Divine Thunder Force into Zhao Lin’s dantian, completely sealing her cultivation.
