Chapter 751
by post_apiChapter 751: Infiltration
Shen Continent, Huaxia Federation
The Demon Queen came to Huaxia for the first time, appearing openly, and her disguise was now hardly seen by anyone.
Quietly releasing her senses, the Demon Queen silently observed Huaxia’s society. She knew a little about humans, as there were still many humans in Fangzhang Continent. She had read human history books, observed the human society in Fangzhang Continent, and learned about their technology.
However, what she knew was very different from what she was now observing. The human society in Fangzhang Continent was still stuck more than two hundred years ago, while in those two hundred years, human technology had developed tremendously, creating many generations of differences.
The hygiene in Huaxia Federation’s cities is very clean. Even a small town has at least a few hundred sanitation robots that keep the city tidy at all times.
The cities in Huaxia are also very safe, with defense robots and cultivators patrolling around the clock. Huaxia has the strictest laws against cultivators, limiting their actions.
The people in the city also seem quite wealthy, especially after the development of Penglai Continent, which lowered the prices of food and other goods, improving people’s spirits greatly.
"Is this the strongest realm of humanity?"
The Demon Queen felt curiosity and envy about all of this. This was the strongest kingdom of the human race, so she thought about the situation of the demon race.
Over the years, the situation for the demon race has been very difficult. The demon race was defeated and could be exterminated by the human race at any moment. The Demon Kings above the fourth level, who could think, felt uneasy about this, always on edge, fearing that at any time a human missile might fall on them, and they wouldn’t even know how they died.
So the Demon Queen believed that the peace and wealth of humans were built on the blood and tears of the demon race, which was the greatest unfairness for them.
Thinking of this, a nameless killing intent rose in the Demon Queen’s heart, but she quickly suppressed it and continued to wander in the human territory.
She traveled around Huaxia, Qingyun, Zhou Liao, and the five northern countries of the alliance.
The Demon Queen wanted to see what was different between the humans of this era and those of the cultivation era, wondering why the humans of this time, even the ordinary people, could create such powerful technological weapons, while those from the cultivation era could not.
·········
In Haigang City, Lin Jiang was handling things in his office as usual. With the help of his secretary team and artificial intelligence, his workload had actually been reduced by about ninety percent.
However, even with just ten percent left, there were still countless things to do every day. It depended on whether Lin Jiang felt comfortable handing over tasks, and Lin Jiang was not very at ease. He had to stay diligent and understand different situations, otherwise, he might be sidelined.
This is not impossible; it is very possible. The executives under Lin Jiang each hold great power, capable of deciding the fate of countless lives with a single word.
However, their power, status, and wealth are not at the very top. Those who reach their level desire freedom far more than ordinary people do.
What is freedom? It is being carefree and in control of one’s own life, but Lin Jiang always has control over them. So, he understands the secret thoughts in their hearts very well.
Before the spiritual energy recovery, he had survived many assassination attempts and had cleaned house several times. After the spiritual energy recovery, Lin Jiang stopped these actions because his strength was enough to overpower them. Yet, as time passed, hundreds of years went by, and some people gained powerful abilities—at least they believed they were powerful. It is normal for them to have some secret plans.
"Uncle, would you like some tea?"
Not long after, a robot entered and a clear voice rang out.
Lin Jiang took a sip, and it left a delightful flavor in his mouth. This is the finest spiritual tea from Huaxia.
"Uncle, would you like a massage?"
"Go away."
Lin Jiang’s expression turned cold, and the robot quickly left. These were bionic robots, and Lin Jiang had more than ten at home, all made to look like the most beautiful movie stars in Huaxia’s history. However, later their cores were changed by Cao Ying, and their voices became Cao Ying’s. Some of their programming was also set according to Cao Ying’s preferences, like calling him "uncle" instead of "master."
These bionic robots often caused trouble according to their programming, like bothering Lin Jiang, which made him very annoyed, and they ruined several batches, so Cao Ying bought new ones.
"Boom"
After the bionic robot left, Lin Jiang continued working, signing various documents. Suddenly, a violent wave of demonic energy exploded in the villa.
In an instant, Lin Jiang disappeared from his office, and then he saw Cao Ying’s broken body falling in front of him. The figure of the Demon Queen appeared in the villa.
The alarm in the office blared instantly, the defenses of the whole estate quickly closed in, and the defensive measures around the villa activated, with dozens of Spiritual Cannons firing at the Demon Queen.
The Demon Queen waved her sleeve, and countless waves of demonic energy erupted, instantly destroying those Spiritual Cannons.
"Everyone leave!"
Lin Jiang’s voice rang out, and the people in the villa quickly exited.
"Substitute"
The Demon Queen picked up Cao Ying’s broken body, and her expression changed instantly; this was not human tissue, but a created substitute.
"Demon Queen, by breaking our agreement like this, do you want the demon race to be destroyed?"
Lin Jiang said, not too excited, also because he knew Cao Ying’s true body was not here; this was just a substitute for Cao Ying.
Lin Jiang now felt only fear; if Cao Ying’s true body were here, she might not withstand the Demon Queen’s surprise attack.
"Destroy the clan? Haha, I am already at the eighth level; do you think it’s that easy?"
"You are so strong, would you dare to battle in space?"
"Haha, do you think I am foolish?"
"You won’t even dare to fight in space; this eighth-level Demon Queen is too weak."
"You won’t know if it’s water until you try."
The Demon Queen let out a cold laugh, and with that, her attack began.
She had traveled through the Shen Continent for six months, visiting many countries, and in the end, she decided to ambush Lin Jiang and Cao Ying to remove the greatest enemy of the demon race.
Lin Jiang vanished from his spot and flew high into the sky. Zhou Yuan and Lin Hongcong also appeared in an instant. Alarms blared throughout Haigang City and the surrounding areas, and the city’s defense system was fully activated.
"Ancestor Lin."
"Ancestor Lin."
"The Demon Queen has infiltrated; she is at level eight."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the two became anxious. If it was a level seven Demon Queen, they wouldn’t be afraid; the three of them could work together and protect themselves. But against a level eight Demon Queen, they had no confidence at all.
"Boom"
The Demon Queen did not wait for them to discuss and already attacked. The three of them didn’t dare to be careless and teamed up to fight.
After advancing, the Demon Queen’s power soared. After just one strike from her, the three felt their energy surge, and the difference in strength was enormous.
At the same time, in space, a Space Mother Ship and eight Space Battleships had entered the atmosphere and spotted the Demon Queen. They immediately opened fire.
In an instant, five or six lasers shot out, along with other weapons from the particle cannon. The Demon Queen chose not to confront them head-on but instead used magic to evade; her reaction was too fast, and all attacks missed.
"Ye Chen, activate the remaining Space Battleships and Space Mother Ship to attack the territory of the demon race on Fangzhang Continent. We won’t hesitate to sink Fangzhang Continent."
Lin Jiang spoke to his watch in front of the Demon Queen. Soon, Ye Chen’s voice came back through the watch, and the rest of the space weapons began their assault.
Meanwhile, within Fangzhang Continent, seven figures soared into the sky, flying straight into space. Their silhouettes were captured by satellites and quickly sent to Lin Jiang, causing his expression to change. He truly did not know that the demon race had so many Demon Emperors. At that moment, Lin Jiang did not have a reliable information channel into the core of the demon race.
"Attack!"
Lin Jiang ordered darkly, and the Space Battleship continued to search for an opportunity to strike with the help of artificial intelligence. Lin Jiang also unleashed his full firepower and charged forward to battle the Demon Queen.
After breaking through, the Demon Queen became too powerful. Even though the Space Mother Ships and Space Battleships had received great boosts, they still struggled to defeat the Demon Queen.
"Stop!"
After a while, a voice came, and Cao Ying appeared. However, she did not join the battle; instead, she shouted for them to stop, allowing Lin Jiang to withdraw from the fight.
"Demon Queen, let’s not rush into battle; let’s talk."
"What is there to talk about?"
"How about we discuss Feng Jiu?"
"What do you want to say?"
"You’ll find out once we talk. You will not lose anything. Although you are at the eighth level, you cannot kill us right now. My uncle is a decoy, and killing him would be useless."
After Cao Ying glanced at Lin Jiang, she said, which made the Demon Queen surprised as well. Her mind searched for Lin Jiang, but she couldn’t find anything unusual.
"Okay."
After a moment of thought, the Demon Queen nodded. Then, the Demon Queen and Cao Ying both disappeared at the same time. Lin Jiang wanted to follow, but Cao Ying’s voice reached his ears, and he stopped.
