Chapter 596: Chapter 531: The Alt Account Takes Over Chapter 596: Chapter 531: The Alt Account Takes Over “Damn, that ‘Eight-Armed Vajra’ sure has some strong survival skills, just to be safe, it’s better to be cautious.

I went to seek out that intimate lady for some insights, and it seems that the Yue Family has dealt with him before.

I was pondering on that when the Yue juniors caught me and wouldn’t let go…”

Tao Yu said with a laugh, pausing before continuing,

“Of course, this was also a good chance to test out what I’ve learned.

It can’t hurt to try when it falls into your lap.”

“Ha-ha, I had a feeling that your Thunder Prison had changed.

Your control over the finer details has stabilized quite a bit.

To be able to teach Yue Yun a lesson without making a scene, you must have also crossed that threshold.”

Stratagems involved a few probing sentences beforehand, typical for their kind of profession.

After knowing Teng Lianghong for so long, how could he not be familiar with his aura?

…

The previous Thunder Prison was definitely his; even though it appeared to have changed, becoming more delicate and seemingly having gained a touch of softness, wasn’t it natural for him to have gained strength after having a breakthrough?

The core framework was something he couldn’t possibly mistake.

“I guess so, the New Development Zone in Starshine City has got something.”

Tao Yu vaguely mentioned, even with a good relationship, he couldn’t reveal everything, and Stratagem did not press further.

“What do you have in mind right now?

The old guy from the Yue Family recognized you as well.”

“They were at fault first, so it doesn’t matter much.

However, I think that if the Yue Family was behind the previous attack, it might be worthwhile to make some contact with them, unless the client has some objections.”

Tao Yu didn’t know the reason behind the Assassin’s League’s involvement in Starshine City’s New Development Zone, or the client.

But he couldn’t simply ask such straightforward questions; he had to be more circuitous.

If Stratagem picked up on anything, he’d just drag him into his Innate Barrier and ditch the disguise.

If nothing was noticed, he’d keep probing until the whole picture was slowly pieced together.

“The main forces of the Gundy Family are in Starshine, and they don’t have much influence in the State Capital.”

Tao Yu almost directly revealed who was pulling the strings behind the scenes and was inwardly pleased, but his intuition warned him straight away about the trap in those words.

He then showed a hint of surprise,

“Gundy?

Nice try probing me.”

The Gundy Family ranked seventh among the twelve families of Starshine and often showed animosity toward the Suns.

If not for that intuitive misgiving, Tao Yu might have followed the lead given to him.

Then Stratagem would have gotten the information he wanted without making a sound!

A seemingly casual remark had a very high cost-effectiveness!

Sensing the presence he had encountered in the Tianxing District before, Stratagem had already confirmed his identity, yet he still risked probing, which was quite unexpected.

“Ha-ha, sorry about that.

You often test me like that too.”

“Can’t be bothered with you.”

Tao Yu downed his beloved bottle of wine in one go and then wiped his mouth, making a smacking sound.

The taste was really good, and it even had the effect of revitalizing Qi-Blood, not to mention it wasn’t cheap.

“That’s a loss.”

Seeing Tao Yu find an excuse to finish the wine, Stratagem seemed a bit heartbroken, but then added,

“It’s indeed likely that the Yue Family was behind the Decaron incident.

It seems they are currently focused on the Gu Family, but the more they appear to be, the more suspicious they become and they certainly have the motive.

Their recent tight security also more or less confirms it.”

“Yeah, so with just a little bit of leverage, I should be able to make some use of it, that youngster seems to be back, right in the State Capital.”

“I haven’t paid much attention to that, but the ‘Eight-Armed Vajra’s’ strength has indeed risen quickly…”

Stratagem scratched his chin with his metallic finger, making a scraping sound.

A World Breaker was already a formidable figure who could stand on their own.

Any action they took in the Current World would be constrained, let alone Tao Yu, who was a monk from another land and also involved in a recent major task of the Assassin’s League.

This meant Stratagem naturally held some basic information.

“Who doesn’t have some extraordinary encounters?

His survival skills are just a bit stronger than most.

I want the Yue Family to hold him back, then I’ll go back in five days for a surprise counter-attack.”

“Don’t take risks.

We still don’t know who’s in charge on the Sun’s side, and if you run into an ambush you can’t escape from, it would be more loss than gain.

There are far fewer concerns in the Abyss.”

Stratagem reminded Tao Yu, and then continued,

“But you mentioned having the Yue Family hold him off, which seems somewhat feasible.

Right now, the Yue Family is hell-bent on sending their precious Saintess-in-waiting to the Nephite Realm.

If we leak the information to the Decaron Family, they will naturally draw the Suns’ office into it…”

Tao Yu was the strongest member stationed in White Star City from the Suns’ office.

If Decaron learned about the past incident, they would likely take the initiative to contact Tao Yu, inevitably dragging all three parties into the waters.

One family would lose a World Breaker, the other would get implicated, and chaos would likely ensue.

For the “Eight-Armed Vajra” as the strongest of the office, it wouldn’t be so simple to return to the Abyss.

“Then to keep him here without acting would be a waste, wouldn’t it?

I had high hopes for that young Hope, what a shame.”

Tao Yu sighed; Teng Lianghong’s decision to step in was mainly because he saw potential in Hope, offering early guidance.

“Hope did indeed have talent, but dead, he is worthless.”

Stratagem appeared quite indifferent…

…

“Sigh, it’s a good thing I learned a few divination techniques.”

Tao Yu changed into another mask and attire before leaving the Assassin’s League headquarters.

Although the interaction with the special troops was brief, it indeed was quite draining.

The spiritual warnings brought by divination had proven their usefulness.

I could counter each move as they came.

Since the other party was unaware, this disguise could continue to be used, and I had even fortified it a bit.

“In the New Development Zone, considering only the people from the Assassin’s League, Teng Lianghong is the highest responsible person, but aside from the employer’s side, there’s also a divination-capable ally, a ‘Priest’.”

This guy, in fact, is currently the most troublesome.

Now Tao Yu and the opponent both can perform counter-divinations meant to interfere with each other.

Each probably finds the other to be a headache.

“However, given that guy’s situation, after realizing the divination might be interfered with, he will likely become more cautious.

He’s not one to show his face often; direct encounters now seem unlikely.”

The force in the shadows, even if including the Assassin’s League and the ‘Priest’, definitely does not have as much accumulated strength in the New Development Zone as the Suns do.

Otherwise, there would be no need for them to be so cautious.

Therefore, it is quite probable that the ‘Priest’s’ own strength won’t exceed my threshold.

If we could indeed meet, perhaps I could eliminate this hidden threat in one fell swoop.

However, with Hope’s squad dead, there probably aren’t any suitable people to use over there for a while; even fishing for information is tricky.

There are a few contacts at the Senior Partner level, but Tao Yu also won’t actively reach out for now.

For someone like Teng Lianghong, it’s normal for subordinates not to know what their superior is up to!

“It’s just too bad I still don’t know who exactly the client is, but on the contrary, it has ruled out the Gundy Family.

It should be one of the Starshine twelve clans instead, with the Xing Family being a probable suspect.”

But since nothing is completely certain yet, Tao Yu won’t jump to conclusions; otherwise, it would be interesting the moment a mistake slips out and everything falls apart.

Even though the Gundy Family didn’t hire the Assassin’s League, they still count as an opposing force.

“On the Decaron Family’s side, the Assassin’s League will have someone issue a friendly reminder.

For the Yue Family, I will go over there and give them a heads-up before switching back to my original identity and waiting for the Decaron Family to visit with surprise…”

Meanwhile, Tao Yu also thought about something the special troop had mentioned offhandedly.

The current focus of the Yue Family is a saintess in waiting?

The Nephite Realm…

Regarding the Nephite Realm, Tao Yu knew some information; it’s the world Sun Shiqing had mentioned before where magic originated from.

It is similar to the Current World, already captured by the Abyss but not yet fallen.

It’s on the same level as the Current World and Earth, with explorers venturing deep into the Abyss.

The difference is, the Nephite Realm has always had a complete system of cultivation; it is a powerful world that even possesses Divine Spirits.

Unlike the Current World’s Conceptual Gods that are manifestations of the World Will, the Divine Spirits of the Nephite Realm have their own autonomy.

Fighting against the Abyss and delving into it are both guided by the Divine Spirits of the Nephite Realm.

However, there have been accounts of the Divine Spirits perishing.

For now, they can be considered as allies on the grand scheme but also competitors for resources on a local scale.

“This saintess in waiting should be an envoy created by a messenger from the Nephite Realm; she could have a lot of potential and access many resources…”

Tao Yu pondered for a moment.

It means that with my current abilities still not fully digested, if my Enlightenment increases, I would also be interested in magic, but it will have to wait for now.

While thinking this, Tao Yu once again arrived opposite the Yue Family building.

The street cracks and potholes here remained as they were, with water from a fire hydrant pooling into a small pond in one of the craters.

The fire hydrant had been temporarily sealed, and the fallen streetlights temporarily removed, with some warning tape set up around the makeshift pool.

A few construction workers with hard hats were measuring something nearby.

As Tao Yu passed by, he didn’t bother to hide his Qi-Blood presence.

It wasn’t ostentatious, but it was enough to attract attention from those who should notice.

Sure enough, before Tao Yu had finished walking the distance, a white-haired middle-aged man appeared in front of him, dressed in a proper gown and cloth shoes.

“Mr.

Teng has made another special trip here, may I ask what brings you this time?”

Previously, Tao Yu’s confrontation with Yue Yun had already demonstrated the capability of a Catastrophe Level threshold.

This indeed warranted the Ancestor Patriach Yue to personally come over.

Moreover, he was somewhat concerned about the unease mentioned by Yue Bing.

He needed to personally confirm whether this unease posed a threat to the hope the family had heavily invested in for the future…

Tao Yu, looking at the man before him, also recognized him as the individual who had intervened during his earlier scuffle with the Inspector.

The Ancestor Patriach Yue, indeed, was powerfully skilled.

But since he emitted an aura just to show off, now was a good time to chat.

This was the family most likely to pin the blame on him…
