Seized by the System

Half a month later in the headquarters of China's Truth Department.

Ren Ruofeng was reading a document and went deep in thought.

The Venerable Dragon God had strangely been conducting inspections quite frequently. In his eyes, there was something suspicious about this.

For the past two years, all he had been done was cultivating his skills and fighting crime. As for inspections and motivating people… These were the job requirements of a leader that had basically nothing to do with him.

Just the bees in the Heritage Land alone had seen him come inspecting three times for the past half a month.

Furthermore, there were rumors of him showing up in Morality City quite often. Previously, one would not have seen him there even once within the span of half a year.

That was because there were nearly no bad guys there… One had to go through a stringent selection process in order to enter the city. Those living there were basically righteous people.

Moreover, this was the backyard of the Dragon God, and in addition to the furnace effect, the deterrent force was too great. If someone wanted to commit a crime, it would not be at Morality City because they would definitely get caught.

This big change in behavior was causing him great anxiety.

"What exactly is the reason? If he did not inform me about it, it must be some big secret," thought Ren Ruofeng.

He had to be concerned about this issue because the focus point in this new era is no longer some random organization, but all these powerhouses.

Every move they made must be scrutinized or he would be on the losing side.

Ren Ruofeng gave it some thought but could not figure out an answer. There was not enough information.

The only thing he was sure of was that this would have something to do with increasing his power.

This was because the two locations he had chosen to inspect, were connected with alchemy.

What exactly happened to prompt the need for him to increase his power?

Was there a powerhouse about to descend from the Upper Realm? Or was there a catastrophe around the corner that would trigger the end of the world?

A shadow shrouded his heart, but it was followed by a slight relief, At the very least, he had entrusted someone of his bloodline at the Draconic Arcane Realm. That should be the safest place in the world.

He gave it a thought and made a phone call in secret.

A heavy voice came from the other side, "I see, a storm is coming. After the waves stop storming the sea, only the strong will survive. The Dragon God has started to work hard in enhancing himself. We would need to do the same. There should not be any sign of slowing down from us. Gather all the main resources and let's start focus on cultivating strength and power among the new generation."

"Yes, I will immediately make arrangements to allow the young elites into the Land of Heritage, increase cultivation and get their power to rise 120%," replied Ren Ruofeng seriously.

"Qiao Anping has peaked in the Lake-level, one more step to go before he achieves the legendary Inland-Sea level. He would need to experience a killing spree at least once in order to achieve a breakthrough on the Path of Sanguinity. Make the arrangements," replied the voice.

"Yes, I was already making plans for it. According to information provided from a high-level spy, the Americans have managed to develop a new phase within their realm, they have already mastered the access method for it. It is different from the other four realms as it is a bloody battleground. It seems to be a place to cultivate battle techniques, most suitable for Anping to be sent there for enhancement," Ren Ruofeng nodded.

"Sounds good. You will be fully responsible for the arrangements," the other side hung up the phone.

Ren Ruofeng gave a long sigh and sent a WeChat message to the Venerable Dragon God. It was better to have insurance in matters such as this.

He had, after all, saved Anping's life before. They would be closely connected…

…

System space.

Fang Ning was meditating on his bed in boredom, scratching his ear now and again.

He had made a deal with Sir to have fun with his games once every three days. There was still some time before the third day and he was ill at ease to play his games so blatantly… He was no System, he still had some sense of pride.

"Ren Ruofeng has news…" Sir System sudden reminder released him from restlessness.

He slipped quickly into the System Cyber Cafe and expertly clicked open the web browser, surfing for his online novel and lastly, the WeChat page on his computer.

"What? There's another new realm has been developed and it belongs to the Americans? Isn't that just convenient for us, like taking a nap and being given a pillow," Fang Ning said ecstatically.

"Yes, we have been to three new realms but unfortunately only obtained one. I wonder what have they named this new realm of theirs?" Sir was curious.

"It doesn't matter what have named it because at the end, they would still need Master Fang to provide its new name," said Fang Ning in delight.

"I agree with you whole-heartedly, Mr. Rich Boss," Sir was ecstatic.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's make arrangements with Ren Ruofeng to leave together. We'll just give them the scraps later."

Fang Ning was a traditional China man and had a deep love and respect for the land. To him, there was no such thing as useless land. There was only land that could be used now or land that could be used in the future.

He and Sir had been to the natural realms three times. The first was the Land of Heritage. It was discovered and developed by the Truth Department early on, which meant he had no chance to get his hands on it. However, Sir had gotten his sea level worth of experience points for the very first time here.

The second was the Land of Demonic Energy. He had no way of converting the Demonic Energy and ended up gifting it to the Bodhisattva Spirit King. In return, he was given half of the land's ownership, so it was not a total loss.

The third time was to the Yin Energy Land. He had snatched the land unapologetically away from Tom the Cat and Claus. It was turned into Morality City which was a picture of prosperity, a reliable base for future production.

This would be the fourth time. Moreover, it belonged to America, which was always opposing China. Naturally, this meant that he should make a swift grab for the land.

However, Sir started to worry, "No, Mr. Rich Boss, obtaining the land this way might decrease my heroic value. Remember that the Americans found it first. I've said it before, reason sides with the first to occupy the land."

Listen to yourself, of course reason would belong to the first people occupying the land, but if a group of robbers were to snatch it first, how would reason side with them? Regardless of heaven or earth, only the virtuous should live in them. This is a known fact. What person would be more virtuous than Vigilante A himself? America is a country practicing the Path of Robbers. All I'm doing is to return the same favor to them. At the same time, I'll illuminate Heavenly Axiom's theory of karma to them," Fang Ning said assertively.

"Mr. Rich Boss, you always have a reason for things, but this time, I quite like it," Sir System expressed his agreement.

…

Inside a luxurious condominium situated in America, Black Robe was giving instructions to two men.

"Yamanashi, the Land of Sanguinity will be open in seven days. You will enter the realm with me this time. Master has personally passed on the Scripture of Great Ordeal to you and you've been cultivating the Demonic Ability for more than a year. It's time for you to experience the real battlefield."

"Yes, Uncle Black Robe, I've been gearing to test my abilities," Saki Yamanashi said eagerly.

She opened up her little palm and a little black ball suddenly appeared. It was deep black and seemed to stretch into the unknown with faint wailing of pain emanating from it. It was frightening.

The past year had seen her trying to catch up to someone's footsteps by cultivating her abilities painstakingly.

After all, the Demon Lord had personally picked her as a disciple. With the help of the Path of the Demons, she was enlightened on several aspects of the Scripture of Great Ordeal in a year, greatly enhancing her abilities.

It was also with the help of the continuous rise of Vitality's density as Earth's Heavenly Axiom maintained a relaxed attitude when it came to limiting the rise of power. She may just be 14 years old but she was now a Pond-level powerhouse.

If she was placed among the talents within the Truth Department, she would still emerge as the top talent.

Black Robe was very satisfied with this. It was the way of the Path of Demons, one would need to have an obsession. When one was obsessed, cultivation would be conducted at an abnormal speed. It was a normal thought to have.

"As for Claudia, you will provide support from the outside and are in charge of our route off retreat in case the Americans have something else in mind. Contact our Master when necessary," Black Robe said as he handed a black token to a Caucasian woman.

Claudia held on tightly to it while bowing in respect, "Yes, Master Black Robe."

She was feeling emotional. This meant that her hard work was finally recognized by the Demon Lord's trusted subordinate. Otherwise, he would not have tasked her with such an important mission.

The Demon Lord did not trust easily, matters involving the retreat route must be entrusted to a confidante.

"We will temporarily arrange it this way. All you of you can now make your preparations. We will leave after seven days. I will provide the location at the very last minute," Black Robe said in satisfaction.

"Yes, Master Black Robe / Uncle Black Robe," the two ladies replied at the same time.
