"Commander, Commander!"

As soon as Boss Li entered the room, he immediately called out anxiously.

Inside sat four people, all members of the Ice Armor Soldier Legion wearing ice armor.

The leader was none other than He Jun, the Right Leader of the Ice Armor Soldier Legion. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

At this moment, Boss Li, who was otherwise imposing outside, saw He Jun and quickly said, "Commander, it’s not working, the people outside are about to lose their calm."

"These people no longer want to stay at the Dark Abyss Mouth. What should we do now?"

He Jun also had his brows furrowed and his expression was grim.

"Has anyone from Yangshan appeared?"

"No, this group of people, they’re like rats, don’t know where they’ve burrowed."

"I mean, has anyone from Yangshan come to assist the people outside?" He Jun asked.

"No, we’ve sent multiple batches of scouts out, and there’s not a peep from Yangshan," Boss Li replied.

He Jun’s face darkened. His mission was to create chaos at the Dark Abyss Mouth to lure people from Yangshan.

However, Yangshan was delaying sending anyone over; how could the mission proceed?

Thinking about the Ice Goddess’s ruthless methods made He Jun’s scalp tingle.

This cannot continue.

He looked at the three subordinates around him and asked, "Do any of you have any good ideas?"

One subordinate immediately said, "Commander, I have an idea."

He Jun looked at him, "Go on."

"We’ve been at the Dark Abyss Mouth for so long, there’s indeed nothing of value here."

"These people even abandoned their homes just to avoid us, probably they’ve seen through our plan."

"I believe we haven’t truly hit their core interests, so they can endure."

"If we manage to take their core interests, they might be forced out immediately."

Upon hearing this, He Jun raised his eyebrows, "Core interests..."

He had a flash of insight, "The core interests of the Floating Island are the Blood Crystals and the Heart Core and Brain Core."

He recalled how Chang Yuntao, to collect Blood Crystals, used massive manpower and resources to excavate the underground heart chamber.

And the Heart Core and Brain Core drew a large number of experts to fight over.

At the time, the Earth Mother Sect and the Liang family were involved.

"That’s it, if I start mining the Dark Attribute Blood Crystals on the Floating Island, the Liang family won’t be able to sit still. They must intervene, and by then, my mission will be complete!"

Thinking this, a smile appeared on He Jun’s face.

He immediately turned to Boss Li and said, "Go tell the outside refugees that this is the Floating Island, and what’s most valuable on Floating Island are Blood Crystals. Blood Crystals can be refined into Genetic Species, they can mine Blood Crystals and Superpower Stones, and then trade those resources."

"These are the most precious!"

Upon hearing this, Boss Li was instantly delighted, "Oh, how could I forget this! I’ll go tell them now, with Genetic Species and Superpower Stones as bait, they surely won’t want to leave."

With that, Boss Li quickly rushed out.

Shortly after, joyful cheers erupted from outside.

Inside, He Jun and his group revealed a cold smile.

Next, these people wouldn’t go anywhere, they would use Fan Mountain as a base to start finding Superpower Stones and Blood Crystals, then begin excavating.

Over at Yinglong Canyon, when Wu Ying received the news, his face became quite unpleasant.

Zhang Peng angrily said, "Damn it, are we just going to watch them steal resources from our island?"

Wu Ying was equally enraged, "I’m angrier than you, this group is clearly trying to force us to show ourselves."

"They didn’t start mining Superpower Stones and Blood Crystals until they couldn’t find us, such an obvious attempt to force us out, Mr. Liang was right, their purpose isn’t simply coming here as refugees."

Han Xiangman said sternly, "I’ve sent a letter to Mr. Liang, no matter what, we can’t sit and watch them steal resources from the Dark Abyss Mouth."

"Just wait a bit longer, Mr. Liang’s reply should come soon."

Wu Ying and Zhang Peng both nodded without speaking.

Over at Liang Yuan’s place, he had already received Han Xiangman’s letter.

After reading it, Liang Yuan frowned slightly.

"They’re really shameless."

Zhuang Shuyuan beside him asked, "What did Captain Han say?"

"She’s applied to join the fight and asked for my approval."

Zhuang Shuyuan asked, "I’m curious, how can you bear it? They’re practically insulting us."

Liang Yuan didn’t explain to her but quickly wrote back.

"Then take action!"

"With Han Xiangman and Wu Ying’s current Genetic Reorganization Level, they might very well be able to drive away these refugees."

"Ling Yurong wants to draw me out, but unfortunately, her subordinates might not be able to compete with Wu Ying and his team. Maybe I don’t need to show up at all, and Wu Ying could defeat them."

Liang Yuan’s mind opened up; earlier, he was stuck in a thought trap.

He always thought that Yangshan’s issues required him personally to solve.

But now that Wu Ying and Han Xiangman have reached the Genetic Reorganization Level, their subordinates’ abilities are swiftly improving.

Some things don’t require him to personally intervene; they might solve them on their own.

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan immediately wrote back.

Three days later, Mist City.

"Bang!"

Ling Yurong, clad in ice crystal armor, appeared furious, with skin as white as snow.

"Trash! A bunch of trash! Is this what Chang Yuntao nurtured, a gang of useless people?"

Kneeling below were two members of the Ice Armor Soldier Legion.

Just three days ago, these two had been waiting outside the Dark Abyss Mouth, ready to assist He Jun inside at any moment.

But in just those few days, the residents huddled within the Dark Abyss Mouth suddenly launched a frenzied counterattack.

He Jun and his team were no match; they were quickly defeated and have now been detained in the Shadowed Dragon Valley within the Dark Abyss Mouth.

One of them lamented, "Master, the other side has two gene restructuring masters; Mr. He and the others stood no chance."

"Yes, Wu Ying is a gene restructuring master with dark attributes. That place is a Floating Island teeming with dark attributes. Wu Ying had terrain advantage, and even though Mr. He fought fiercely, he couldn’t overpower his opponent."

Ling Yurong’s face remained stern despite hearing this, showing little sign of easing.

With a somber look, she gazed towards the direction of Yangshan, speaking coldly, "I originally wanted to secretly take away my Spiritual Split Host, but now it seems you’re forcing my hand."

"Very well, the last time you escaped, but over these past few months, I’ve absorbed three Spiritual Split Hosts, my strength recovering to nearly one-third. I refuse to believe I can’t subdue you this time!"

Since Liang Yuan had left, there had been no contact for several months.

She instantly realized that the man named Liang might have seen through her plan.

Thus, the scheme to ostensibly refurbish the road while secretly launching an attack was conceived.

First, to expel the residents of Beichen Island, letting the Ice Armor Soldier Legion experts cloak themselves among them, creating chaos at the Dark Abyss Mouth.

At that moment, attract the man named Liang over, while she would lead an attack into Yangshan to seize Yang Mei.

Unexpectedly, the power of those within the Dark Abyss Mouth was not weak. The Ice Armor Soldier Legion and the patricians of Beichen Island were utterly defeated by them.

The plan was well laid, but the execution left much to be desired.

"Master, will you be acting personally?" asked a man, clad in blue armor, who clearly did not belong to the modern age as he stepped forward.

Ancient superpower users began stepping out, voicing their intentions: "Master, we volunteer to undertake this task!"

"Merely Yangshan, why should our master act personally? We are willing to brave any danger to capture the culprits for our master!"

These were the ones thawed from the Ice Crystal Palace, revived with Ling Yurong’s recovering power.

Every single one was once a great general under her command, each a master of genetic reorganization level!

Sadly, over the endless river of time, many couldn’t endure the prolonged span; their consciousness dissipated entirely though their bodies were frozen.

They hadn’t reached Genetic Reorganization Perfection, their Spiritual Power couldn’t reorganize and split, thus couldn’t employ her method of longevity.

Fortunately, her ice attribute superpower could even freeze souls, preserving some personnel.

"Good, good, good, let’s show these newcomers of the new era the fearsome might of the Ice Kingdom which once made the Ancient Era tremble!"

Ling Yurong burst into laughter, her aura expanding, robe fluttering despite no wind, and her unbound hair wildly danced, manifesting her regal demeanor without doubt.

Meanwhile, over on Yangshan.

Yang Mei was at a critical stage in her cultivation.

"Brother, I’ve finally broken through 100 points!"

Yang Mei beamed with joy, excitement written all over her face.

Yangshan had countless experts, but only a few dozen had their main attributes reach 100 points.

Among these few dozen, only seven had undergone gene restructuring.

With Liang Yuan’s assistance, in merely a month, Yang Mei’s main attribute soared from 78 points to 100 points!

Liang Yuan chuckled too: "Sister Mei, congratulations. Now with your main attribute at 100 points, you can formally attempt gene restructuring."

"Once successful in gene restructuring, you’ll be able to erase Ling Yurong’s remnants inside your genes."

"Then even if she appears on our doorstep, she’d be helpless."

Yang Mei nodded forcefully, saying, "Alright, let’s strike while the iron is hot and begin now."

"Won’t you rest a bit?" Liang Yuan asked with some concern.

Yang Mei shook her head: "I don’t want to live with her constantly haunting me, better to resolve this sooner and make her abandon hope completely."

"Alright, then I’ll take you to the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device."

Liang Yuan led Yang Mei to the base of the Spirit Gathering Tower.

The Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device was in use by many people here.

Since Liang Yuan was personally present, a designated spot would naturally be reserved for him.

Leading Yang Mei into the cultivation room, Liang Yuan said, "Sister Mei, this is the core area of the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device."

"Here, the warning effect should be the strongest. You’ve stayed with me for a long term, and haven’t consumed much of the mutant beast’s flesh, the rogue genes in your body are minimal."

"Therefore, the probability of successfully undergoing gene restructuring is very high. Remember, don’t rush, follow the genetic attractions and the warning device’s guidance, one step at a time."

Yang Mei had long been instructed by Liang Yuan about gene restructuring experience and was aware of its general process.

She nodded upon hearing this: "Rest assured, brother, I can do it."

Liang Yuan smiled slightly, saying, "Let’s begin, I’ll watch over your cultivation."

"Mm."

Yang Mei immediately closed her eyes, beginning to feel the genes within her body.

Then, she proceeded to cultivate following her genetic map.

About half an hour later, suddenly, waves surged within Yang Mei’s body.

Upon this, the chilling frost within her surged rapidly!

Simultaneously, her expression changed abruptly to one of anger and fury.

"How dare you! I am the Ice Goddess, you’re merely my host, yet you dare to contemplate eradicating me?"
