Inside the 18th state capital, a young man with bulging muscles and a broadsword on his back entered a crowded restaurant.
His expression was cold and unfriendly. Anyone that came across him made way for him in apprehension.
Without uttering a word, he walked to the fifth floor and entered a room.
"What took you so long?" A lady asked in annoyance.
"I was ambushed by some flies," he responded and took his seat casually.
Beside the lady in the room, there was a thin young man sitting by the side, sipping tea.
He looked at the burly man with a knowing look. "Who is it?" He asked.
"Some useless gangs trying to get ahead of themselves?"
"I bet they've set their eyes on you."
"Who cares? They will soon be killed anyway," he responded dismissively and took a bite from the apple on the table.
"Have you sent the report?" He asked, turning to face the lady.
"Yes, just did."
"What is the order?" The thin young man asked.
"What do you expect?" She rolled her eyes at him and said. "We've received the go signal."
"Ah! Finally, I can start beating their asses off," the burly man said with an evil grin.
"I better get going. I have a lot of killing to do," the thin man responded.
"Have you thought of the place to set up the battle arena?" She asked.
"I already have a place in mind," the burly man responded.
"Good. Let's get this over with. I can't wait to see how the young talent of the state capital would fare against you."
"Hahaha. I came first in training and became a commando. Do you think these weaklings have a chance against me?" He responded proudly.
"Show off!" both the lady and the thin man responded.
These three were the three commandos sent by the Celestial Forte to spy on their enemies.
The thin young man was a deadly assassin while the lady was a deadly spy. She was trained to get intel from their enemies using various means.
Lastly, the burly man. He might look brutish but all that was a facade. As the leader of the team, he was versatile in all three professions.
Apart from that, when push comes to shove, he could battle his way out.
Now, their first mission of intel gathering was over. The second phase of the mission had begun.
With a wave of his hand, a massive artifact appeared. This was the artifact he had been working on in the Cao clan.
He might not be publicly active, but that doesn't mean he was idle. He was already making plans to take over the continent and it has already started.
Many thought the Celestial Heavenly Sect was after the Empire but they were all wrong.
Their plan was to take over the world and one of the ways to take over the world was this artifact.
The artifact was made of Grade-2 metal. It had four wings and four big eyes like a bird.
Two of the four eyes were bigger than the other two. Moreover, they were at the center of the artifact like birds.
Many would not understand what this artifact means but if an earthling saw it. They would know what it was.
Looking at the artifact, Su Yen sent a bit of his Spiritual Energy into it.
Whim!
Instantly, a slight hum came from the artifact and it came to life.
All the runes and formations on its body came to life.
Inside the Celestial Heavenly Sect, all the elders stood inside the hall with a look of anticipation on their faces.
Ai and Aiguo stood at the forefront holding a rectangular device like a tablet.
It was the Spirit Tabloid Mirror.
It had all the functions of a Spirit Comms and more.
Suddenly, Ai spoke in a low voice. "Master has released the Spirit Satellite."
"We're establishing a connection with the Spirit Satellite," Aiguo reported.
"Connection established."
"All functions on the Spirit Satellite are working."
"Testing the main lens."
At once, a holographic screen appeared on the wall. At first, it was nothing but slowly an image appeared.
"Is that a cloud?" Elder Jie asked in astonishment.
Just as they were still reeling in shock, the image zoomed at breathtaking speed and the bird's eye view image of the Celestial Heavenly Sect appeared before them.
But that was not all, it zoomed again showing the sect main hall.
Watching the image before them, everyone inside the hall was stunned with their jaws dropped to the ground.
