Countdown to return 120:00:00.

Midnight, 12 oʼclock.

Several cars slowly parked by the roadside outside the Microcosm Community.

One person got out of one of the cars, casually surveyed the surroundings, then lifted his hand and tossed out a black button.

The black button somersaulted in the air and tightly adhered to a surveillance camera.

Inside the car, a young man in combat gear, with a metallic luster flickering on the external part of his brain, pulled out a data cable from the mechanical limbs at his temples and connected it to the laptop in front of him.

The young man closed his eyes, and the computer screen showed streams of data flickering faster than any fingers could type on a keyboard.

Nan Gengchen had once wanted to become a hacker, but later he gave up.

Because he discovered a very serious matter, nowadays hackers in the Inner World were using their brains as processors.

To keep up with othersʼ pace, one must have nanorobots interface with neurons and modify the outer brain to create data ports.

The human brain had always been underestimated; it was only after many years of technological advancement that humanity realized the brainʼs computational power was incomparable to ordinary processors.

The next moment, the young man removed the data port connected to the laptop, ”Done, surveillance is stuck on a still image, and the infrared alarm has been disabled.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than twelve individuals rapidly jumped down from four new energy vehicles, swiftly catching the community walls and flipping into the Microcosm Community.

Leading them was a muscular man who quickly checked the surroundings and then headed straight for Room 101 in Building 2.

This time, the assassins were clearly better trained.

When they arrived at a door with a password lock, one of them pulled out a device the size of a cellphone and swept it over the door, which then opened with a click.

One person entered the house to investigate, one stood watch at the entrance to the corridor, and another pressed an ear against the door of Room 102, listening intently for any sound inside.

In Room 102, Jiang Yichenʼs eye was pressed against the peephole, hardly daring to breathe.

His eyes widened as he watched the scene outside, wondering who on earth his neighbor was; just the day before yesterday a group had come and not left, and today even more people had arrived.

Initially, he had thought the four people who went in the last time knew his neighbor and that the room opposite might be a covert location for some power.

But now, he felt something was off.

This time, Jiang Yichen had watched the entire process of the others infiltrating and unlocking the door; they were clearly there to kill!

Two minutes later, the assassin inside Room 101 confirmed it was secure, immediately followed by all the assassins filing in and then closing the door tightly behind them.

Only then did Jiang Yichen allow himself a slight sigh of relief.

His mind was filled with doubts, and he couldnʼt make heads or tails of what was happening.

...

...

Qing Chen returned to the Autumn Leaf Courtyard from Dragon Lake today and hadnʼt left the house since.

As he walked, he felt that the secret watchers looked at him strangely.

At first, he thought he was being paranoid, until he saw two young women from the Li Family giggling and running off after seeing him...

The words ʼJoyous Sectʼ and ʼindecentʼ echoed in the evening breeze as the two young women ran off.

Bad news really does travel fast.

Qing Chen suspected that sooner or later, the Liʼs Secretariat might send him a banner inscribed with ”For Outstanding Contributions to the Birth Rate of the Li Family.”

After returning to the Autumn Leaf Courtyard, Qing Chen would draw a few people every four hours for Empowerment, using up all his Knight Vital Energy in one go.

During this time, he specifically checked the bright points on Nan Gengchen and Li Yinuo and to his surprise, found that this young man had lit up two more bright points without anyone noticing.

His progress was too fast!

At this rate, before his return, Nan Gengchen might be the first to achieve Grand Circulation; even Li Tongyun, a cultivation prodigy, wasnʼt progressing as quickly as Nan Gengchen!

Fortunately, apart from his Knight Vital Energy, no one else could investigate how many bright points had been illuminated inside Li Tongyun and Nan Gengchenʼs bodies, so it would be no issue for them to pretend they had just started cultivating.

Qing Chen mused to himself, it seemed these two had not been idle during the day either...

He couldnʼt understand why, when it clearly wasnʼt he who was indecent but those students, the reputation of the Joyous Sect still fell on him to bear.

To think, he hadnʼt even been in a romantic relationship yet!

The progress of Li Yinuo and Nan Gengchenʼs cultivation made people like Li Su envious.

But envy alone wasnʼt useful; they couldnʼt find wives at the moment and therefore couldnʼt cultivate...

After all the students had left, a copper bell hanging in the southwest corner of the Autumn Leaf Courtyard suddenly started ringing.

Qing Chen was taken aback; he hadnʼt expected that the genuine Heartless Bronze Bell would hang so close to him.

The old man had said he was to rely solely on himself, but in reality, he had left a backup for him.

Qing Chen was well aware that there were only two real Heartless Bronze Bells in the entire half-mountain manor; one hanging here and the other in the Bao Pu Tower.

Even the Secretariat didnʼt have such a privilege.

Thinking that the old man had used such a precious thing to protect him, Qing Chenʼs last bit of resentment disappeared.

The old man had said the Heartless Bronze Bellʼs perception range was three kilometers, which meant the assassin should have already arrived.

...

...

Inside the house.

The muscular man leading the group surveyed the surroundings, ”Itʼs been cleaned thoroughly, which means someone has been here recently; the four people we sent before might have run into ʼGhostʼ.”
