550: Chapter 194 What happened?

Time rolled back several minutes, to just before the cosmic explosion, when Guardian Zhi, invoking the nonexistent “Dragon Style” of the Mystic Tortoise True Gang, approached the Martial Ancestor for teaching.

Mr.

Feheart, the right-hand man of King Aqini, was then facing a trial of life and death.

For Mr.

Feheart, today was indeed a very bad day.

As everyone knew, just a few hours earlier, Mr.

Feheart had fought a great battle with a mysteriously unpredictable Internal Strength Master.

As part of the inner circle of The Eight Planets, and the first among the Kings’ domains, Earth was the least suitable planet for Heroes to develop.

Here, Heroes simply could not cultivate their Inner Strength to a very high level.

The first two levels weren’t so bad, but from the third level onward, Internal martial artists had to resort to networks for meditation, gradually adapting to processing during the upload and download of information, altering their own neural networks.

And this process was tantamount to exposing oneself within the striking range of a master’s attack.

And within the Earth-Moon system, the second most powerful figure in human history when it came to Inner Strength, the Divine King, reigned supreme.

Such a mighty person should not have existed on Earth.

But there he was.

And so, Mr.

Feheart bravely charged up and fought with that Internal Strength Master in the cyber world.

At that time, Mr.

Feheart was in a state of fully open neural networks.

In such a state, the brain could suffer a mental breakdown due to overload without the need for an enemy to hack into one’s hardware directly, devastating the individual.

It was definitely a perilous battle.

Despite being at a disadvantage in the battle with that mysterious master, Mr.

Feheart persisted until the arrival of King Aqini.

This was what everyone, including King Aqini and the Protectors of the Moon, knew.

But only Feheart—only the Iron Heart Dharma King himself knew, that things were not at all what they seemed.

He had just been desperately erasing the traces of that mysterious master.

Because the route that mysterious master took was one he had built in secret.

If the Iron Heart Dharma King did not do this, then when King Aqini checked the networks, he might have followed the master’s traces and unearthed the entire network of the Six Dragons Sect within the Earth-Moon system.

In the process, the Iron Heart Dharma King even destroyed the “private network” of the Six Dragons Sect he had built himself—of course, in the last moment, he also took the risk of sending messages to a few nodes, forewarning them of this incident.

The Six Dragons Sect had always been extremely wary of King Aqini, and they were ready to “temporarily abandon the network” should there be an emergency.

But every action ran the risk of leaving traces.

King Aqini had an almost divine understanding of Inner Strength that the Iron Heart Dharma King could not compare with.

The Dharma King was not even sure that he could really fool his superior.

During the review of the battle and the exhibition, the Dharma King Feheart was on tenterhooks.

It was a tremendous mental torture.

Fortunately, after these tasks were completed, King Aqini granted Feheart permission to rest.

Feheart returned to his room and did indeed feel a bit more at peace.

This was probably one of the few “bottom lines” of King Aqini.

It was said that hundreds of years ago, the King would casually read any information on the network with a dismissive attitude.

He could pry into any piece of information that appeared on the network, commandeer any kind of remote surveillance system.

Yet, for these subordinates, he would allow them a room free from surveillance.

King himself even truly didn’t install surveillance systems in these small spaces belonging to the subordinates.

As the Vice Captain, Feheart was all too familiar with this.

All the Iron Heart Dharma King wanted was to sleep well, to calm his uneasy instincts with meditation and dreams.

But soon, someone knocked on the door.

He was once again brought before King Aqini.

The King’s body, resembling the bridge’s control console, turned around, and a camera fixed its gaze on the Iron Heart Dharma King.

The Fire God asked, “Just now, the Six Dragons Sect gathered a force to attack the Secluded Crane Knight Order’s base.

Do you have any clue?”

Mr.

Feheart was momentarily at a loss for a response.

Whether it was his identity as “the King’s right hand,” “the Iron Heart Dharma King of the Six Dragons Sect,” “the Protector undercover in the Six Dragons Sect,” or “the highest-ranking spy within the Six Dragons Sect”…

none of these identities allowed him to digest this piece of information.

He just stared blankly and said, “What?”

“The Six Dragons Sect has gathered a squad, size unknown, and has infiltrated the Secluded Crane Knight Order’s base,” King Aqini said.

“They nearly simultaneously blew up the satellite station, severing the wired network connections between other cities and Secluded Crane City.

We can hardly connect to that city now.”

—This…

Feheart’s brain still couldn’t process.

“Why?”

“Why?

I also want to ask ‘why.’ You are here to resolve this doubt of mine,” King Aqini said.

“According to the design plans of Secluded Crane City preserved within the palace, accomplishing this would require at least twelve squads, each one highly elite.

Such a force, appearing near the equator in Africa, near the few remaining space elevators, I could comprehend.

But it actually appeared on the New Continent.”

“Ah?”

“Furthermore, according to your report, both vice captains of the Secluded Crane Knight Order are members of the Six Dragons Sect, and the captain is suspected of having affiliations with the Sect.

Why would the Six Dragons Sect attack this city?”

“You have attained quite a high position in the Six Dragons Sect, haven’t you?

Why do you know nothing about this?”

—Right, I’d like to ask that question too…

wait a minute…

Iron Heart Dharma King Feheart realized something was off.

But King Aqini continued, “Moreover, they even dared to provocatively touch my Igni Seal.

Only after this did they destroy the satellite station.

Before the satellite station was destroyed, a segment of footage was transmitted through the military’s network.”

While speaking, King Aqini shared a video, forcing it to play within Iron Heart Dharma King’s field of view.

Strings sounded like some strange laughter, hurried and eerie.

Yet atop that was the grandiose sound of brass instruments.

The brass repeatedly painted an endlessly ascending melody.

Iron Heart Dharma King vaguely remembered that this was a very famous piece of ancient music.

Meanwhile, in a window on the screen, a Martial Artist raised his right hand, straightened his arm, lifted it above his head, palm facing down: “Heil H…

I mean, long live the Six Dragons Sect!”

“Long live the Six Dragons Sect!”

“Long live the Six Dragons Sect!”

“Long live the Six Dragons Sect!”

“The Six Dragons Sect bears full responsibility for this incident.

The Secluded Crane Knight Order betrayed their deal with the Six Dragons Sect, allowing the Protector to use space-based weapons to bomb the Sect’s base!

This is revenge!

This is sacred vengeance!”

—Ah…

Although he knew that failing to give a proper answer at this time could mean death, Iron Heart Dharma King’s mind still short-circuited.
