Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

Now that the Go competition was over, the next thing Chen Xiaobei had to do was arrest Hou Sailei and bring him back to China.

Elder Cao’s phone call indicated that Chen Xiaobei’s plan had already succeeded halfway.

“Xiaobei, the mole contacted Hou Sailei!” Elder Cao said. “As per your arrangement, Professor Lin has purposely let slip word that they found the metal that is a hundred times stronger than steel, and even told the mole that there would be holding a meeting to discuss this matter tonight! Just now, the mole sent a message through an encrypted mail! We had our hackers monitoring everything and they managed to intercept Hou Sailei’s message and deciphered its contents! Hou Sailei said that he would be at the research facility tonight, waiting for the mole’s message.”

Chen Xiaobei was overjoyed hearing the news. “Good! That’s exactly what I wanted – Keep Hou Sailei where he is. As long as he stays put, today will be the day of his arrest!”

“Today?!” Elder Cao exclaimed. “Are you saying that you already know where he’s hiding?”

“Yup, I’ve already found out! Don’t worry, Elder Cao. All I need is two hours. All Professor Lin needs to do is keep the mole busy for 2 hours!”

“Two hours? Really? Is that even possible? We’ve been preparing for more than two months to capture this bastard!”

“Don’t you trust me, Elder Cao? Nevermind. We shall see in two hours!”

“Well then… I’ll await the good news!” Elder Cao said. “If you really could acomplish this, you will be a national hero! I thank you on behalf of our country and its people!”

“Oh, Elder Cao, that’s a weighty statement! Those who act against China, no matter how far they are, must and will be punished!” Chen Xiaobei said gravely.

“Yes, they must be punished!” Elder Cao repeated.

After he hung up, Chen Xiaobei told Xiangyu and Yin Wuqiu, “I will need to send the both of you back to China first. This is a solo mission. I’ll be handling this alone!”

“Why?!” Xiangyu protested, “I want to avenge my brothers who have sacrificed themselves! I must go with you!”

Yin Wuqiu was also unhappy with the decision. “I am also a Chinese! I want to be a part of this as well.”

“I understand how you feel,” said Chen Xiaobei. “But Hou Sailei’s research facility is indispensable to the United States of America. They probably have surveillance covering a radius of a few kilometers. If I go in on my own, I could use the Nightstalker outfit to sneak in. But if I bring the both of you, we might alert the enemies!”

Yin Wuqiu opened his mouth to speak but he did not know what to say.

Xiangyu, on the other hand, said, “That’s easily solvable! Didn’t you get a Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd just now? You can use that to get us in!”

“Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd?I still haven’t checked out its Special Ability yet!”

Ding

[Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd: Made of Heavenly Vines from Mount Wuliang in the Verdant Emperor’s realm. A Three-star Divine Item. Contains Meru Mustard Seed! This gourd can absorb all kinds of living beings into it! Spiritual Items and Spiritual Medicine which are stored inside will not lose their Spiritual Attributes but will grow instead! Do you want to withdraw it?]

“Wow! now that’s awesome!” Chen Xiaobei’s eyes lit up.

Mustard space was exactly the same as space in reality. Living items that were stored inside could move about freely and grow freely; unlike the Infinite Space Ring which did not allow storage of living things, but only inanimate objects.

The most impressive thing about the Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd was its Special Ability!

It was beneficial to human beings and beasts who cultivated inside. Spiritual Medicine and Spiritual Items could increase their Spiritual Abilities, and might even evolve.

If he used this Special Abilities properly, Chen Xiaobei could benefit greatly from it.

“Alright! I’ll test it now!”

Chen Xiaobei retrieved the Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd.

It was a leaf-green colored gourd, with a shiny, golden surface.

“Store!” Chen Xiaobei shouted as he opened the gourd.

Suddenly, a voice with a question popped into Xiangyu and Yin Wuqiu’s minds, asking them if they were willing to enter the Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd.

Only if they were willing, would they be deposited inside. If they were unwilling, the divine gourd would not keep them inside.

Swoop! Swoop!

Of course, Xiangyu and Yin Wuqiu agreed to it.

Immediately, their bodies shrunk to the size of tiny little insects and were sucked into the Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd.

“What… in the world…”

Zaar, who was watching from afar, rubbed his eyes.

Chen Xiaobei capped the gourd and walked over to him. “This is all an illusion. You’re just dreaming!”

“Illusion? ” Zaar looked very confused when…

Thwack!

Chen Xiaobei tapped the back of Zaar’s neck and sent him into a deep sleep.

Zaar was useless to the next phase of his mission. Chen Xiaobei wasn’t bothered to kill him so he might as let him take a nap here.

He would not dare believe that the Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd was real anyway. He probably would not obsess over it. Even if he did tell people about it, no one would have believed him.

After that, Chen Xiaobei put on the Nightstalker Outfit, made himself invisible and walked into the abandoned research facility.

If he drove a car or used the Somersault Cloud, he would have been noticed before he could even approach the target.

So, the die was cast, and Chen Xiaobei decided to run in.

With his ungodly speed, he arrived at the place within minutes.

The facade of the place resembled an abandoned research facility. By using the powers of his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes, Chen Xiaobei could see beneath the false front!

“It’s this place!”

Chen Xiaobei was standing on a crumbling wall.

He could see that beyond the wall was an extremely thick metal door outfitted with high-tech safety locking devices. Apart from a password, it would also require fingerprint recognition and a retina scan to gain access into the room on the other side.

Zing!

The Dragon’s Edge appeared in Chen Xiaobei’s hand.

The door was made with a special alloy that could withstand artillery fire and even massive earthquakes. It would not, however, withstand the might of Chen Xiaobei’s black saber.

Zing

Chen Xiaobei aimed the saber at his front and swung hard. Immediately, a dark Sword Qi was unleashed – not unlike breathing out a Black Dragon. A powerful presence could be sensed around him. The saber might have looked unimpressive from the front, but it was actually infused with the powerful Wind Element thus making it an extremely sharp Wind Blade! This was clearly the result of fusing the Dragon’s Edge with the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade!

Ziing!

The wall and metal door where the saber had sliced through were severed in two!

Wooooo Wooooo Wooooo!

Warning alarms started blaring.
