”That's the seventh.” Lotesh whistled and smiled. The number of spies around them had spiked in numbers, and some of them were even trying to force their way in.

Lotesh thought they were idiots. No one would miss what Level of shooters everyone in the group was. They must be suicidal to attempt to break in. Besides, the intruders were all average amateurs; he could deal with all of them himself.

Unlike Lotesh, who was basking in his own ego, the other shooters in the hotel room looked concerned. Ye Chong simply looked calm. Things were progressing rather unexpectedly. Usually, people would hesitate to challenge a group of their caliber. Now, however, they were having close to a dozen spies around them, all of whom were incompetent.

Jin Dongwei and his experienced comrades could tell that was amiss.

Sha Ya abruptly opened her eyes, and spoke up with her hoarse voice, ”Soldiers incoming.” At the same moment, Ye Chong received a live feed from the mech pilots hovering high above him.

There were about 500 soldiers, looking ready for battle. The people in the streets looked shocked, and stepped aside to give them passage. Northern Lands had been peaceful for a very long time. The people had seen such a large military platoon in recent times.

”We're leaving,” Ye Chong announced.

The shooters exchanged looks, and followed him.

”Kill the spies.” Ye Chong's order was delivered in a plain but cold voice.

Jin Dongwei and his men prepared themselves, their laser guns out and ready to fire. Parapsychic waves radiated out from their group.

The parapsychic waves from three Level 7 shooters and seven Level 8 shooters radiated out simultaneously like a deadly tsunami. The parapsychic waves were a warning for anyone who dared to move against them.

Spies who ignored the warning found a laser beam shot straight through their brains.

No one had seen such a rampant group of people before. The strong warning behind their parapsychic waves stopped anyone for stepping up to speak with them. Northern Land shooters had mostly felt complacent. Aside from those were determined to hone themselves, most shooters were not as mentally strong as their Eastern Cloud and Western Frost counterparts.

It was not hard to imagine what would happen when a flock of sheep were to be met with a group of vicious butchers.

Maroon City was an important city in Northern Lands. There were many capable shooters, at Level 7 or 8, in the area, but these capable shooters preferred to be more careful. They stayed in the background and watched, and would not get involved without good reason. To them, Ye Chong's group was a mystery, and too strong to casually mess with.

Ye Chong and his group exited from the backdoor of the hotel and ran. The 10 shooters stopped spreading their parapsychic waves, and the group vanished without a trace.

The people around the hotel dared not probe with their parapsychic waves for fear of retaliation from their aggressive opponents. Those were experienced with this kind of situation would realize that the best course of action for now was to do nothing at all.

The group ran along the back alleys. Their physical training back in their stronghold was now put to good use. The shooters would not have managed to run like this before their training.

The back alleys twisted and turned. Soon, even Ye Chong could not figure out where they were heading. He was about to reach for a map of Maroon City when a few strong parapsychic waves encompassed them.

Sha Ya hummed coldly and lifted her laser gun. A single laser beam shot through the walls, and someone inside shouted in pain.

”You're good!” A low and solemn male voice commented from the shadows.

A few men walked out of the shadows of a building nearby. They were led by the man with an aquiline nose at the Yu Family's Establishment. He was now smiling coldly. Around him were half a dozen shooters, all studying Ye Chong's group without fear.

”I was wondering, who in the world could have 10 strong shooters as bodyguards? Never did I imagine that you are Eastern Cloud's Chief Weaponsmith, Master Ye.” The man spoke slowly, looking pleased with himself.

”No wonder you have gravstones of such high purity. Tsk tsk, the Heavenly Gods have smiled upon our Yu Family! Compared to Master Ye, what's 50 thousand gravstones? I just didn't expect Master Ye to be so vigilant and decisive. Impressive! My presence would not have been required otherwise.” The man with the aquiline nose was all compliments, but his eyes were shining with triumph.

”The soldiers are closing in on us,” Jin Dongwei warned Ye Chong quietly.

It was obvious what the man with the aquiline nose was trying to do – he wanted to stall Ye Chong, and he had the right people to accomplish this. The shooters around him were all at least Level 7. When it came to an actual battle, they would not be a match for Ye Chong's group, but stalling the group would not be difficult.

As the soldiers came closer and closer, they could now hear the steady rhythmic sound of footsteps from behind them. Time was running out. The soldiers were only another turn away from Ye Chong and his group.

The man with the aquiline nose was pleased with himself. Everyone knew how powerful this Master Ye was. He was known as the best weaponsmith in the world. The man played an important role in emboldening Eastern Cloud to challenge Western Frost in an all-out war. Eastern Cloud encountered little resistance in the war because of their weapons. The country's cannon arrays were terrifyingly powerful. This outcome was all because of Master Ye.

If the Yu Family could get its hands on him, the Family would become a power of no equal in Maroon City. The city's military was already under the Yu Family's control. This man could potentially help the Yu Family overturn the current government and begin its reign over Northern Lands.

The man with the aquiline nose looked at Ye Chong with fervent eyes.

Ye Chong was unmoved by all of it. He slowly activated his comms device. The man with the aquiline nose had never seen the device before. He was curious but remained vigilant. He had enough strength on his side to stall his opponents, but winning was out of the question.

He needed just another half minute, and it would all be over.

”High explosive grenades, wide coverage!” Ye Chong said quietly and without much emotion, but the man with the aquiline nose could sense that something was wrong. He did not have time to consider the implications of Ye Chong's words, for a very powerful parapsychic wave had locked onto him in the next moment.

Sha Ya's eyes glowed intensely.

The man with the aquiline nose had been wary of his opponents, so he reacted quickly. He released his parapsychic waves as well. Two strong parapsychic waves superposed each other. The air around them turned unstable.

Jin Dongwei and his comrades were surprised. They did not imagine that the man with the aquiline nose was on par with Sha Ya. The other shooters on the enemy's side were also surprised by Sha Ya's strength.

Sha Ya had been trying to suppress her urge to fight for the past few days, but she could finally unleash herself now. Her opponent was taken aback by her willingness to fight, and immediately upped his game as well with his parapsychic waves.
