Chapter 1240: Shenzhen Convention Incident -Part 1

Buzz threw a few bouts of tantrum upon learning that Shang Xia aka codenamed Queen only cared about the relic and not the lives of her comrades. While it was true that their ultimate goal was to revive the Banned Emperor once again into the living but once resurrected, does the almighty really care about the lives that had been lost for his cause?

“No, both she and our lord would not.” Buzz knew deep down that it would never happen but the money that prompted him to join the cause was too great to ignore. He might not be a true convert but the money was more than sufficient for him to pretend to be a convert when he joined. After all, he had the skills and talent, just that he was not in the right place, right time nor right window of opportunity for him to succeed. So, joining the terrorist organisation was one of the ways to clear his debts. Still, the cracks of being a non believer were apparent the deeper he got into the organisation’s ways of life.

And this operation had become the straw which would break his back for him. He knew that after this heist, he either would die or be in hiding forever if he failed. And even though he knew the consequences, the incentive for joining the operation was too alluring to move away from it. An immediate deposit of two million US dollars into his account the moment he agreed to it and another five million if he were to get out alive.

He had no idea where the Banned Emperor was getting the funds but because they were too big of a hidden organisation and too rich for his liking, Buzz had decided it was worth the gamble.

As a team lead for a certain dungeon supplier group, he had always been intrigued in creating the best dungeon instance. He even took a brief tour, trying out the dungeon instances for this year’s Symposium to be utterly disappointed by it. The only one he was looking out for was actually Dungeons and Pandas but the announcement for him to be out of the Symposium was both a disappointment and relief.

Disappointed that he knew he would not be able to see the wonders that particular Dungeon Supplier had created one last time before he died or fled. Relief that he knew the Dungeon Supplier would continue to live on and perhaps one day Buzz would be able to check it out at least once in his life if he were to make it out alive.

But now, all he felt was annoyance when he heard the name of the very same dungeon supplier he worshipped being used against him right now. His items were so superior that they somehow managed to activate their chi back again in HIS Dimensional Instance where Buzz should be the one dictating the rules. With time not at their side, the only thing he needed to extend it was putting additional bodies against these cultivators and to do that, he had to crank up the energy and place resources dedicated for other purposes to this particular task.

Distract the cultivators.

This was because the cultivators that barged in were doing something he was not expecting. Instead of finding enemies to kill or locating the main culprit behind this, they were doing the exact opposite. By doing their best to destroy what they had built so far. It was as if they knew that the pyramidal temple they were building was vital in their plans. But in actual fact, the Demon Exorcist was merely following Jin’s instructions.

“If you see something out of the norm, just destroy it. In Every. Way. Possible. If what you said was true, they are maintaining the barrier and not manipulating the landscape means that something out of the norm would be of an importance to them. So, just destroy it and the dungeon supplier maintaining it would need to either rebuild it from scratch or send goons to distract you. If he did the latter, it means that you are doing it correctly and continue to do so.” Jin’s instructions were fairly clear and the goons part did emerge when the Demon Exorcists saw men in black suits emerging from thin air. They were armed to the teeth with high grade weapons as they moved towards the Demon Exorcists. Su Zhen and Lian did not use their dual inscription charms as of yet since Lein recommended them to keep it first until they really do need it.

“Not necessary to show our hand to the enemy.” Lein’s words ticked Lian off since she knew that he just wanted all the fun to himself. He did complain how boring the dungeon supplier’s challenges were and he nearly wanted to let Rong win because he could not bear to go through everything. Besides, having a car of their own was useless when they had the System to teleport them if it was urgent enough. The only thing that changed his mind was a taunt from Rong saying that he could not bother to complete it because it bored him.

Lein simply could not let Rong be proven right, because it was their way of friendship. To always be the top in terms of combat ability while not showing it outright was possibly his narcissistic way of living life for now.

Still, there were no complaints how much havoc he did as his attacks broke a major hole in the temple while the other two Demon Exorcists dealt with the minions. The only thing that they did not expect was that the men in black subsequently turned to monsters when they were severely injured, boasting their strength.

Thankfully, Jin’s single use inscriptions were strong enough for Su Zhen and Lian to hold them off while Lein took care of the monsters. But as Lein did that, the Temple he destroyed was slowly reconstructed back with Buzz’s manipulation of the instance’s resources. He had no choice but to alternate his attacks to make sure that his colleagues were protected as he dealt damage to the temple. But as usual, as things tend to go too smoothly, trouble happens.

“Your wilful rampage ends here, punk.” An Eagle silhouette swooped in and clashed against Lein as he finished off a wave of monsters.
