Chapter 1324 - 657: Leng Yuehua’s Poisonous Plot
"Mr. Liang came personally? How is that possible?" Ji Liang couldn’t help but say.
Chang Yuntao said coldly, "This man once plotted to seize the blood crystals from my island, which shows how cunning he is."
"He came personally, he must have already discovered my plan."
"It looks like there’s no way to slowly develop our forces anymore. Send my orders, notify everyone on the island, prepare for battle!"
Ji Liang dared not delay, quickly got up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Also notify Beichen Island, tell He Jun to immediately prepare to avoid being ambushed by Mr. Liang."
"Go gather the members of all major mercenary corps."
"Understood."
Ji Liang swiftly went out to make arrangements.
Before long, the four corps leaders: Red Star, Celestial King, Iron Blood, and Beauty, were all present.
Among them, the Beauty Corps leader Leng Yuehua was full of excitement, her eyes thrilled, and as soon as she entered, she immediately opened her mouth to inquire.
"Your Majesty, did Mr. Liang deliver himself to us?"
Leng Yuehua almost didn’t bother with any concealment, her face was all excitement and killing intent.
Behind her, Qiu Gongrong followed with his gaze lowered, a hint of glow flashing deep in his eyes.
No one knew what he was thinking.
By his side, Red Star Mercenary Corps leader Hong Guowei and Celestial King Mercenary Corps leader Yang Zicong were both looking calm.
Hong Guowei said, "Your Majesty, even if Mr. Liang came, is it necessary to make such a big fuss? No matter how formidable he is, can he be more troublesome than Pushan Lie?"
Yang Zicong also said, "Your Majesty, just say the word, and I’ll take people to Yang Baoshan, and bring back this bastard’s head."
Ji Liang followed behind this group, hearing their words, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
These newly appointed leaders have powers approaching 100 points in their main attribute.
However, they don’t truly understand Mr. Liang’s actual strength.
Chang Yuntao has long sealed off information about Mr. Liang’s power level from the outside, precisely because he was worried that they would retreat without fighting after knowing.
According to the information he received, Mr. Liang has already reached the Genetic Reorganization Realm.
He’s made quite a name in Linjiang City, how ridiculous it is that these people are so shortsighted, yet still boast here.
Chang Yuntao frowned, suddenly regretting hiding the real situation of Yangshan from them.
He thought about it and said, "Mr. Liang’s strength isn’t as simple as you think."
"From the recent information brought back from Guangfu, Mr. Liang has already broken through to the stage of gene recombination."
"His real strength wouldn’t be inferior to Pushan Lie."
"If you continue with this mindset, you might suffer greatly, put away your arrogance, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Guowei and Yang Zicong were both shocked.
"What? Mr. Liang has already undergone gene recombination?"
"No, the previous information indicated he was merely a Genetic Species level superpower user."
Cold, Leng Yuehua looked at the two with a hint of disdain and a cold smile.
Among those present, only she consistently paid attention to Liang Yuan’s moves in Yangshan.
She realized Mr. Liang’s strength long before he defeated the Three Great Sects.
That’s why she was hesitant to seek revenge at Yangshan and kept urging Chang Yuntao to take action.
"Your Majesty, no matter how formidable Mr. Liang is, surely he’s not your match."
"Since he’s now in Baoshan City, it’s impossible for him to have brought a large team, likely just a few top experts are following."
"I have an idea that might heavily strike the opponent."
Leng Yuehua suppressed her excitement and immediately spoke.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at Leng Yuehua, even Qiu Gongrong couldn’t help but glance over.
Chang Yuntao knew how deeply Leng Yuehua hated Liang Yuan and was intrigued by her words.
"Yuehua, what idea do you have? Share it and let everyone review it."
Leng Yuehua immediately said, "Mr. Liang dared to sneak into Baoshan City, which means Yangshan must be empty."
"I suggest we split our forces into two. One group restrains Mr. Liang’s men while another quickly charges to attack Yangshan!"
"Catch Mr. Liang’s family and friends and bring them directly to the battlefield, Mr. Liang will certainly not dare to act recklessly!"
"By then, won’t Mr. Liang be at our mercy?"
As Leng Yuehua said this, a sinister smile appeared on her face.
She had waited too long for this day.
She could never forget how Mr. Liang humiliated and severely injured her on the Queen ship.
Nor could she forget how the woman she loved was still under his control.
Thinking of Lin Ya, her heart ached.
Imagining Lin Ya possibly pressed beneath that disgusting man, she couldn’t hold back the murderous intent in her heart, it was almost spilling out.
This malicious plan was not only about bringing ruin to Mr. Liang, but more importantly, it gave her a chance to rescue Lin Ya!
As long as they could storm Yangshan, there would surely be an opportunity to bring Lin Ya back.
Leng Yuehua imagined that if they caught Mr. Liang’s family, it would be even better.
She wanted Mr. Liang to kneel before her and watch helplessly as she tortured his family and friends.
To make him plead with her, to wish for death!
Qiu Gongrong and the others couldn’t help but look sideways at this woman.
Seeing the madness on her face, everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but chill.
How much did this woman hate Mr. Liang?
Chang Yuntao, upon hearing the plan, couldn’t help but brighten his eyes.
He thought for a moment and said, "This is an excellent idea. As the ancients said, ’repair the plank road openly while sneaking through the warehouse,’ let’s do this to Mr. Liang!"
He looked at Leng Yuehua and said, "Since you came up with the plan, I’ll leave the plan of capturing Mr. Liang’s friends and family in Yangshan directly to you."
"Yuehua, do you have the confidence to accomplish this?"
Leng Yuehua immediately clenched her fists with excitement and said, "Yes! Your Majesty, rest assured, on the Queen ship I originally had many people taken by Mr. Liang."
"I just need to contact these people again, and I believe they will surely support me, definitely able to capture those in Yangshan and give Mr. Liang a big ’surprise’!"
Chang Yuntao laughed heartily, "Hahaha, good, as long as you’re confident, there’s no need to wait until tomorrow, immediately have the Beauty Corps set out now!"
Leng Yuehua eagerly bowed, "Yes!"
And with that, she swiftly turned and departed the hall.
Hong Guowei, Yang Zicong, and Qiu Gongrong watched her swiftly departing figure and turned to look at Chang Yuntao.
Hong Guowei said, "Your Majesty, the Beauty Corps are all women. Is it reliable to entrust such an important task to them?"
Chang Yuntao smiled faintly, "Women have a natural advantage in disguise; they can blend into hostile forces more easily than men."
"I trust Yue Hua will not disappoint me."
"Alright, let’s discuss the tasks ahead."
"First, I need you to quickly send someone to investigate how many people Mr. Liang brought this time and how many elites."
"Second, keep an eye on Yang Baoshan, and report immediately if a large group comes out from there."
"Arrange for your people to go to the armory to get weapons, and have the bandits on Beichen Island lead the charge tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Orders were swiftly issued, and both Mist City and Beichen Island quickly entered a state of alert.
The entire night, they couldn’t sleep soundly.
In contrast, over on Liang Yuan’s side, everyone slept soundly except for the guards.
The triumphant attack on Yang Baoshan had boosted morale significantly.
It was a time when people’s spirits were high and eager to be utilized.
At this moment, in the leader’s room at Yang Baoshan, Liang Yuan surveyed the room.
This was originally where Pu Shanlie stayed.
Now that Pu Shanlie had disappeared, it naturally became Fang Liang’s previous residence.
Liang Yuan scanned the room but found no important supplies or special rune bones.
It seemed that whatever important things there might have been had already been taken by Fang Liang and his men.
Liang Yuan sat cross-legged, feeling the genetic sequences inside his body, quickly entering a cultivation state.
"Without system assistance, it’s truly difficult to advance the gene recombination progress."
"I don’t know how Feng Jiangong and Wu Yaobang are cultivating; these people don’t even have the system and yet they’ve reached 10% progress so quickly."
"No, that’s not right. According to the intelligence Lin Jingtang sent, Mengya Company provides equipment for gene recombination progress."
"So Wu Yaobang’s rapid strength improvement is also due to the power of technology."
This is the part that Liang Yuan finds somewhat poignant.
It’s only with system assistance that I can make rapid progress.
But people in high-altitude regions, although they don’t have a system initially, they can rely on the accumulative foundation of technology to aid in cultivation.
Isn’t this another form of advantage?
For example, why do people from Guangfu initially have an edge over those from Yangshan?
They have specialized research labs, advanced scientific instruments, and top-notch military engineering talents.
They can achieve precedence in researching the Superpower Stone and applying rune technology.
The research department in Yangshan was only established gradually after Liang Yuan settled down.
Furthermore, at the beginning stages, there was a lack of research talents, not to mention various equipment shortages.
Most of this equipment was exchanged from the system by Liang Yuan, with a few pieces salvaged underwater.
In summary, Liang Yuan’s points aren’t enough for a reason.
The construction of Yangshan seems to demand expenditure everywhere.
At this moment, in the room, Liang Yuan closed his eyes, the superpower inside him activated, moving throughout his body’s cells.
He carefully perceived energy changes, trying to find that hint of resonance.
This is the cultivation method he gradually explored after beginning gene recombination.
Identical genes exhibit a characteristic of strong resonance.
Of course, the feeling of this resonance is very weak.
If Liang Yuan hadn’t condensed the Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake Genetic Species, greatly enhancing his Spiritual Power, he probably wouldn’t be able to perceive this weak resonance.
He sensed this strand of resonance, marked the gene cells resonating, and began recombining and refining them according to the Hundred-Change Demon Ape Gene Map.
This process is like assembling a jigsaw puzzle; the Genetic Map has been given to you, but countless human genes are like fragmented pieces of the puzzle.
You need to continually improve and construct to eventually form the pattern on the Genetic Map.
As the gene puzzle continues to improve, the gene recombination progress will also keep advancing.
Liang Yuan’s gene recombination progress has been stuck at 10%, and recently, during cultivation, Liang Yuan discovered that every ten percentage points seem to be a checkpoint.
The further you go, the higher the difficulty of gene recombination becomes.
Liang Yuan recalls, the first time he met Feng Jiangong, Feng’s gene recombination progress was about 10%, but after several months, Feng still seems to be around twenty percent.
This is despite Feng having a high talent for cultivating superpowers and most of the military’s resources being directed towards him.
Ordinary people would probably be stuck at this step for a long time before breaking through.
Liang Yuan cleared his mind of distractions, silently completing the gene recombination puzzle.
Time ticked away, and in the blink of an eye, the sky began to lighten.
It was already the morning of the second day.
Liang Yuan opened his eyes with a sigh.
"A whole night of cultivation, made three mistakes during recombination, luckily I was cautious enough to dissolve the recombinant genes immediately, otherwise it would have caused big trouble."
The more he cultivates, the more Liang Yuan feels the difficulty of gene recombination.
Selecting similar genes for recombination among countless genes.
If chosen incorrectly, it would lead to gene collapse, possibly resulting in the mutation of the Genetic Map.
Thereby contaminating the entire Genetic Map.
The only solution at this moment is to immediately dissolve the recombinant genes.
But this means all the previous attempts and efforts are for naught.
Only by fully piecing together a complete genetic chain can you achieve stage results.
There is no way to stop halfway through this process.
Stopping midway, the unfinished genetic chain becomes wasted, requiring a fresh start.
It’s like building blocks; if it collapses, you have to start from the beginning.
Clearly, this is a gradual effort process and cannot be rushed.
"I still need to quickly exchange for something that provides gene recombination efficiency."
Liang Yuan sighed inwardly, at this moment, Han Xiangman’s voice came from outside.
"Mr. Liang, are you up? It’s time for breakfast."
