Chapter 255: The Terrorist Organization’s Base
Earth. At dawn, the sun slowly rose from the east, casting countless golden rays down upon the world.
White clouds dotted the blue sky.
A passenger plane streaked across the sky, leaving two white contrails in its wake. It was flying from New York in the United States to the Salabert Kingdom in the Middle East.
The plane weaved through the clouds, its bright white fuselage gleaming with a soft golden sheen in the sunlight.
Inside the plane, in a first-class seat.
Ye Xing sat cross-legged, circulating the Innate Skill and practicing his breathing exercises to restore the True Qi in his body. The previous night, in White Cloud City on the Martial Arts Continent, he had severely injured Grey Eagle Cang Hong with a single sword strike—the first form of the Nameless Broken Sword Techniques.
Using the Nameless Sword Techniques had completely depleted his True Qi. Even after a full night of cultivation, he had only recovered sixty to seventy percent of it. Since he had to catch this morning’s flight, he had no choice but to continue cultivating on the plane to restore his True Qi.
This flight was heading to the Salabert Kingdom in the Middle East. Ye Xing was going there because he had interrogated a thug and learned that the terrorist organization’s base was hidden in the Salabert Kingdom’s Medina Province.
According to the thug’s confession, the terrorist organization’s base apparently had missiles, which was the entire purpose of Ye Xing’s trip. ’It’s too hard to get my hands on an atomic bomb, but I should at least be able to acquire a few missiles.’
Infiltrating the terrorist base would likely lead to a tough fight. As the saying goes, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Ye Xing’s cultivation had yet to break through to the Innate Realm, so many modern weapons could still threaten his life. He naturally had to be cautious and restore himself to peak condition as quickly as possible.
Therefore, despite the many strange looks from other passengers, Ye Xing continued to sit cross-legged, minding his own business and cultivating the Innate Skill. Of course, their gazes were merely curious. After all, it’s a big world full of people with all sorts of quirks; Ye Xing was hardly the oddest. There were stories of eccentrics streaking naked down the street—what was meditating in your own seat compared to that?
Outside the window, clouds drifted by as the plane flew through the sky.
Time passed, drop by drop. Morning turned to noon, noon to dusk. The sky darkened, then slowly brightened again until, on the morning of the second day, Ye Xing finally opened his eyes.
’Whew, my True Qi is finally fully restored. The Nameless Sword Techniques consume an immense amount of True Qi, but thankfully, their power is just as insane!’ Ye Xing marveled to himself.
’A single strike was enough to severely wound Grey Eagle Cang Hong, who’s ranked sixty-sixth on the Wind and Cloud List. Last night, I imprisoned him in White Cloud City. In terms of raw destructive power, not even many Innate Realm experts could accomplish that. Three incomplete sword techniques... I don’t know their grade or even their name. Still, I have a feeling they’re from a Celestial Skill Treasure Manual of at least Celestial Rank Top Grade. Even if they’re not the Daluo Sect’s ultimate secret manual, they must be close. Across the entire Martial Arts Continent, you could probably count the number of secret manuals of that level on one hand.’
"Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please. We are now approaching Salabert Kingdom’s Medina International Airport. We may experience some slight turbulence during our descent due to air currents. Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts..."
An announcement suddenly echoed through the cabin.
Shortly after the announcement, the plane began its descent. Through the window, the buildings below grew steadily larger.
Soon, the plane touched down at the airport, having arrived in the Salabert Kingdom.
The Salabert Kingdom is located on the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest Asia. It borders the Persian Gulf to the east and the Red Sea to the west, and shares borders with Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. Salabert’s terrain is high in the west and low in the east, with most of the country being a plateau. Along the western Red Sea coast is a narrow plain, east of which lie the Sarawat Mountains. East of the mountains, the terrain gradually descends to the eastern plains. Deserts are widespread, with the Great Nafud Desert in the north and the Rub al-Khali Desert in the south. The western plateau of Salabert has a Mediterranean climate, while other regions have a tropical desert climate. Summers are hot and dry, with temperatures reaching over 50°C, while winters are mild. The average annual rainfall does not exceed 200 millimeters.
The Salabert Kingdom is a true "oil kingdom," ranking first in the world for both oil reserves and production, making it one of the wealthiest nations on Earth. Salabert is the world’s largest producer of desalinated water, accounting for about 21% of the global total. The Salabert Kingdom follows a free-market economic policy. Mecca, the birthplace of Islam’s founder, Muhammad, is a holy pilgrimage site for Muslims.
The Salabert Kingdom is also a monarchy, retaining the titles of king and prince and prohibiting all political party activities.
Ye Xing was currently located in the Salabert Kingdom’s Medina Province.
After leaving the airport, Ye Xing hailed a taxi straight to a small town called Polya.
The small town was sparsely populated, a backward and desolate place. On its northern outskirts stood a single house, which served as one of the entrances to the terrorist organization’s base, located directly beneath it.
At that moment, two men in plain clothes stood at the entrance of the house, playing on their phones. At a glance, one might mistake them for ordinary villagers, but they were actually lookouts tasked with guarding the entrance.
Ye Xing walked straight toward the house.
"Stop! Who are you? What do you want?" Two sharp shouts rang out as the men’s hands immediately went to their waists, their gazes fixed warily on Ye Xing.
"I want to go in and have a look," Ye Xing said, a slight smile playing on his lips. "As for who I am, you’re not qualified to know."
"You’re courting death!"
"Probably government. Kill him!"
The two men flew into a rage and pulled handguns from their waists. But before they could even fire, they realized with horror that a pair of powerful hands had clamped around their necks like iron pincers. Then came a gentle twist.
CRACK! With a single sound, both their necks were snapped. The light faded from their eyes, leaving only a deathly gray as their heads lolled lifelessly to one side.
Ye Xing quickly stripped the clothes off one of the men and put them on. Then, he activated the Thousand-Faced Disguise Skill. His features twisted and shifted until he had transformed into the dead man’s likeness.
Inside the house, Ye Xing quickly found an elevator and took it down to the basement on level B1.
CREAK!
After reaching the basement floor, the elevator doors slowly opened.
The elevator doors opened to reveal a massive underground space before him. It was a cavernous stone chamber with numerous corridors branching off. Many armed personnel bustled back and forth, busy with their tasks.
