Qian Jialin decided to retreat. He didn’t know how long this shield could last. If he was alone, he would fight with the opponents but now, he had the princess with him. Her safety was more important than to test his limits.

However, as a soldier of the Federation, they weren’t so passive. Qian Jialin retreated because he was waiting for Mu Youyun.

He had been contacting Mu Youyun for quite a while now. He believed that they were not far away from each other.

Mu Youyun felt his communicator vibrating. He looked at it and his expression changed.

At this moment, the staff member who was guiding them started running. Mu Youyun’s eyes turned cold. He moved and the staff member got knocked to the ground. He slid for a few meters before stopping.

Mu Youyun quickly walked over to him. He grabbed the person’s neck with his hand and raised the person up. “Where is the princess?”

The staff member vomited a mouthful of blood. He sneered at Mu Youyun’s question.

Mu Youyun felt his head hurting. Qian Jialin had sent him the room numbers which he had passed by but Mu Youyun was still unable to find him even after going there. Undoubtedly, they had fallen into a trap. Mu Youyun felt that they were in totally different locations.

“Captain, pass him to me.” They needed the staff member to guide them through these maze-like tunnels. Luckily, one of their team members was an expert in questioning people.

Mu Youyun immediately handed the staff member over. The team member grabbed the staff member and took out a small box out of his pocket. There were three syringes inside. There was also a thumb-sized medicine tube inside.

The staff member’s expression changed when he saw what was inside the box. He struggled. He was already injured heavily by Mu Youyun so struggling worsened his internal injuries. Blood started dripping out of his mouth.

The team member took out the agent and injected it into the arm of the staff member. The staff member’s face turned hideous. He seemed to be inside a frightening illusion. He was in a subconscious state and his body was drenched with cold sweat.

Finally, the effects ended. The team member wanted to question the staff member but to his surprise, the staff member bit his tongue… the team member quickly grabbed his jaw but it was too late. Blood started flowing out of his eyes, nose and mouth. Within a few seconds, he died.

“Damn it. He chose to commit suicide.” The team member was upset. He didn’t expect an ordinary staff member to commit suicide. This method was used mostly by freelance assassins.

Mu Youyun said seriously, “I think that we have made the wrong prediction.”

They thought that their opponents would not act during the auction. After all, the auction was held in Aoqi. Aoqi was a neutral party so to maintain their neutral image, they would never let an assassination to occur on their turf. Yet, contrary to their belief, Aoqi didn’t care. Were they going to reveal their true intentions? Or were they confident that no one could escape?

If it was the latter, they were in a dire position. Mu Youyun’s heart dropped.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from the two ends of the tunnel. He frowned. He looked at the closed door at his side. Without a second thought, he used his Qi-Jin power to smash the door opened.

“Boom!” The entire tunnel vibrated. There was a fist shaped dent on the door. The door was made from steel so Mu Youyun was unable to destroy it with a single blow.

Mu Youyun expected this result. He gave the door a forceful kick. The door could no longer handle it anymore as it had already been damaged. It was forced open and a human-sized opening was revealed.

“Enter!” Mu Youyun ordered. His five team members cooperated well and immediately rushed in the opening. Mu Youyun was the last one to enter. When he entered, numerous armed personnel had appeared at the two ends of the tunnel.

The armed personnel rushed over to the room where Mu Youyun entered. Before they got near it, they fired at the door. The half-opened door flew off its hinges.

No one saw the appearance of a shield which appeared behind the door. It blocked the bullets that tried to enter the room.

Mu Youyun looked at the powerful and surreptitious shield on his arm. Before they entered the auction, the timid-looking young man from the Lingtian Battle Team, the one who always hid behind Young Master Zhang, secretly passed this device to Qian Jialin and him. He even gave them a small piece of paper to tell them how to operate this device.

At that time, Qian Jialin and him didn’t care much about this little device. They felt that it was not useful but they were grateful for the concern shown from their brother-in-arms. Surprisingly, this ‘useless’ little device saved his life just now.

He had escaped danger for now. However, it would be difficult to get out of this predicament. The longer they were stuck in this room, the more dangerous their situation would get. The energy of the shield could only last for a limited amount of time. Once the energy of the shield was depleted, they would most likely be dead.

While Mu Youyun and his team were stuck in a room, Qian Jialin tried to retreat into a tunnel with the princess. A group of armed personnel suddenly appeared at the direction where they were retreating. They were getting closer to them. In another few minutes, Qian Jialin might be in the same predicament as Mu Youyun.

The violent vibration caused Ling Lan to stop in her tracks. She frowned. She gave an order instantly, “Zhao Jun, Qi Long. Go to B7 and help Senior Colonel Mu Youyun.”

Ling Lan also sent them a sitemap of the auction venue to their communicator. Mu Youyun’s current location was pinned with a green dot while their opponents’ location was pinned with red dots.

Zhao Jun and Qi Long were stunned for a moment. They quickly regained their senses and replied, “Yes.” Then, they disappeared from her sight.

“A powerful master has appeared?” Li Lanfeng asked in a low voice.

“Ten Qi-Jin masters are rushing over to Senior Colonel Mu Youyun’s location. Senior Colonel Mu Youyun might be lacking in manpower. With the addition of Zhao Jun and Qi Long, it would make things easier for him.” Ling Lan had Little Four supervising her opponents. Hence, even though she was in a rush, she knew what her opponent’s plans were and knew where Mu Youyun and Qian Jialin were.

Ling Lan could have sent Li Lanfeng and Li Yingjie over as well to help Mu Youyun. That way, Mu Youyun’s side would definitely win. She believed that she was able to save the princess with just her own strength too. However, obstacles allowed people to grow. A little bit of pressure was good for Qi Long and Zhao Jun. This was why she only sent the two of them over.

Qi Long and Zhao Jun was at the peak of Qi-Jin. Qi Long only lacked a single step before advancing to the domain realm. He needed more obstacles and experience to achieve his breakthrough.

“Hurry up. Hasten your pace!” 12 armed men were charging towards Qian Jialin.

They were reaching a three way fork road. Once they passed this fork road, they would meet their targets. The team leader was elated. If he could kill these people, he would be promoted to a higher position. The team leader could feel his bright future shining down on him.

Just as he was reaching the forked road, three people appeared. Two of them were wearing masks while the other was wearing a black hood that warped his face until it was unidentifiable .

The team leader was stunned. He didn’t expect to see people here. “Who are you?”

Did his boss make other arrangements? The team leader thought about this possibility. He didn’t have the time to think about anything else, as the three people rushed towards them fiercely.

“Boom!” The team leader got thrown off his feet. He slammed heavily on the ground and vomited out blood. He struggled to get up. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a black figure walking towards the tunnel where the princess was at.

The team leader didn’t have the time to think. The hooded man attacked him again. This time, the team leader managed to retaliate.

Two fist collided. After the loud explosion, the team leader flew out again and fell to the ground. He was unable to get up this time. He had a convulsion on the ground. Blood was flowing out profusely from his mouth.

“Why didn’t I receive any news of such powerful opponents? What happened to the person supervising everything?” Before the team leader lost consciousness, this was his only thought. Their opponents appeared suddenly. They were caught off guard.

The people in the surveillance room finally realized that something was amiss. They didn’t discover Ling Lan and her friends but they did notice that the 12-men team suddenly disappearing from their screens. Even idiots would have realized the situation by now.

When Brother Xu received this news, he almost smashed the screens in the room. He contacted the ace level hacker in the auction and knew that they were attacked by other hackers. Their opponent was at least an ace level hacker too.

Brother Xu suspected the Yun family. Their ace hacker noticed signs of a hacker from the Yun family and started a battle with him. No one knew what happened in the end.

Those people that were fighting didn’t know that an unseen battle was happening beside them. The virtual battle was as frightening as the real battle. Losers of the fight had to pay a huge price. The loser’s brain would most likely be damaged in the process. A top-tier hacker could instantly become mentally disabled. Some would even be declared brain dead.

Qian Jialin activated his shield and retreated hurriedly with the princess. They had been running for almost five minutes. Luckily, the shield was more powerful than he expected. It showed no signs of energy depletion.

However, Qian Jialin was worried. He thought that Mu Youyun would appear within three minutes but there was still no sign of him. He knew that Mu Youyun must have been led to another place by their opponents. He could only rely on himself.

A figure suddenly flew out from the opposite side. Qian Jialin didn’t expect his opponent to resort to close combat after shooting at them for so long.

The opponent’s fist punched onto the shield. The huge force caused Qian Jialin to slide a few meters back. The powerful shield dimmed.

“Seems like it is not impregnable.” A calm voice sounded in front of Qian Jialin. The bullets had stopped. Their opponents must have decided to rely on close combat after noticing that guns didn’t work. Actually, when someone reached the Qi-Jin level, the effects of guns were minimal.

Before Qian Jialin could regain his composure, his opponent attacked him again. This time, he used more power on his fist.

Qian Jialin deactivated his shield and punched his opponent furiously.

“Boom!” The two fist collided. The person flew out. Qian Jialin took three steps back again. Although Qian Jialin retreated, he swiftly activated the beam shield again. The shield covered the princess and the people behind him.

The opponents might use their guns again. Qian Jialin didn’t want to take any risk.

The person who attacked him collided into a group of armed men. He bounced up and saw Qian Jialin retreating with his men. He was embarrassed and furious.

“Luo’er, although you are a genius, there are many powerful people in the world.” An old man suddenly appeared beside the person and patted his back.

“I know, grandfather. I want to fight with him,” The person called Luo’er replied firmly.

“Sure!” The old man waved his hand and the armed men stopped moving. They started to retreat.

Qian Jialin was stunned. However, he continued retreating. He wanted to use this opportunity to widen the distance between them.
