“Even the sibling is similar to him.” While sitting not too far from Ye Xiaobai, Yue muttered while her gaze and even her ears still receiving stimulus from all around her.

“And that woman, she may experience that war as well. Her eyes when she saw me that time is the same with everyone else before. Should I make things clear first?”

What Yue referred to ‘her’ was actually the woman that sat rather far from her, Wu Qing And both of them excluded the charm of an older woman.

“That ear, is it really yours?” then someone came near to her. But Yue came to an understanding that this young man also looked at her with curiosity rather than the look of disgust, dislike, and hatred.

“This is genuinely mine. You can ask your cousin for confirmation.” Yue faced him and smiled faintly. The one who asked earlier was, of course, the most carefree in the chamber that already filled with pressure, Ye Qingcheng.

‘Other than the aura which struck fear even to me, he is really kind. I wonder what kind of aura that makes me, the inheritor of the Silver Fox bloodline, tremble?’ Yue thought about it since she had seen him for the first time.

“When he found out about you, Little Yuan said that cousin just looks at you with astonishment before he returned to his usual demeanor. Looks like what my father said is true, it’s already the time for me to venture out from my safe zone like Xian Ni.”

Said Ye Qingcheng followed by him sitting down. And then he also looked to the place where Wu Qing also sat but he frowned a little.

“Elder sister Wu?” he asked softly. He felt something was rather strange and the air seemed like a mist filled with the foreign substance that he could not recognize.

Then Wu Qing opened her eyes before looking at Ye Qingcheng because she knew that he was the one who called her. She smiled back at him before replying to him in a sweet tone.

“What is it? Is there something you have to ask?”

“I just wondering why there is a little...friction between elder Sister Wu and this person called Yue?”

What he asked naturally came from the depth of his heart but of course, that did not mean the person itself really like it. When Ye Qingcheng finally realized it, he felt two eyes stared at him with a strange light came from their eyes.

“You are not experiencing what your father and I had seen and passed during the war so you maybe don’t know about it. Just look at her animal ears and tails, is it something common?” Wu Qing then realized that the young man was simply inexperienced, unlike Ye Xiaobai who had seen the outside world even only a fraction of it.

“Uhm, what she said is true. For the people like me, which was born later after the war, it is a form of discrimination and maybe the punishment because our ancestor originally invaded this world. And your elder sister experienced it herself so I understand her feelings when she sees me.”

Yue nodded her head and sighed.

‘And he is still so kind and pure while Ye Xiaobai is already tainted with some of the world’s dark side. But I believe that the kindness inside both of them will not be easily gone.’

While she was a kind of race that had the appearance of human but their body parts was like an animal, Yue also had her advantage from the others like her sight. She could see that from facial expression alone that Wu Qing had terrible memories when she saw Yue.

“I don’t know how to reply that. But one thing is for sure, I believe that this Yue is not a bad person at all.”

Ye Qingcheng said while he moved again to the place near Ye Yingyuan who had his energy soared inside the bubble. Yue felt that those words alone were more than enough for the current her as she looked at all the people with the surname Ye.

“That thing is still working.” There was an old man looking at the building near him as he walked slowly in the crowd. The snow descended in a few numbers and even the road was filled with the white substance.

If any elder from Cleansing Ancient sect saw him then they would recognize him instantly because the old man was actually Gong Teng.

What he saw with his vision was a large number of green lights at the surface of the building’s wall. Even though that green lights were on the surface which people keep touching or at the least the position where anything could contact and affect it but nevertheless the green light glued tightly to the surface.

“And the intelligence said that there is a new, large formation in the city.” While he also checking the formation that the report had made, he could not find out just where the formation was. He was inside the same city that caused part of the sect’s power to diminish.

“No trace of it in the city. Is this perhaps space concealment formation?”

The formation had a certain force which could pull the weaker cultivators and even the stronger ones would face some obstacles. And now there was no trace of a formation when he came to Xuan City even when his cultivation reached Nirvana Rebirth stage.

Of course, even with such power he could not act mighty and ended up provoking an unknown factor to his success especially when the power struggle increased. And for why he could travel instantly, it was due to the power of teleportation which could be learned when someone reached higher cultivation realm.

Unknown to him, two pairs of eyes had watched him since his entry but turned a blind eye to his action.

“Oh, Nirvana Stage cultivators? Well, they have the power to affect the space so the battle will shake the ground a bit. Now, you said it yourself that you wanted to learn about my methods of Body Incarnation spell? This is an opportunity for you.”

In a sealed space, Wang Yu saw that old man clearly like the black dots on the white cloth. Beside him, Hou Fei hesitated.

“But with my current power, I can’t even defeat him much less to eliminate him. And looks like he has some hidden cards for an emergency. Should this old man fight with the formation?”

Hou Fei looked like an old man if you saw him stood together with Wang Yu but actually Wang Yu was much older than him.

“Old? You often called yourself like that didn’t you. And I told you before that the power of Body Incarnation master lied in their ability to understand the structure and anatomy of human’s body, spiritual veins, energy circulation and even vital points. With this knowledge, you can make him kneel!” said Wang Yu.

The difference in power between Hou Fei and that man was not large but not small either. And there must be a reason why that old man was at Xuan City, much less with his cultivation base which was enough to make him a protector of a sect.

And speaking of the reason, Wang Yu could sniff it with his nose.

‘He knows about that green light on the buildings of the city.’ Wang Yu turned more serious about this. Even he had asked Ye Canghai and Ye Guhan about that green lights that could only be seen by special eye technique and they only said that it had been there since two years ago.

‘However, the time the green lights appeared to coincide with the outbreak of the beasts from the forest. Looks like what I have gathered so far really bring on that man’s trail.’

And Wang Yu took a glance at the figure that sitting cross-legged. The figure only had its bones left and even the eyelids were gone, showing the eyeballs which could terrified people. But Wang Yu could feel the heartbeat from that figure.

That figure was naturally Manstein which was in a deep state of meditation. Despite the condition of his body, his patience was the greatest in the process of turning the qi around him to the Cosmic Qi.

“This type of Qi will recover your nascent power in your soul. Hmm, should I do my experiment again after all this?”

The most dangerous factor that Manstein had, in the eyes of other people like Alice was his endurance! Just seeing his own body being peeled off by the energy did not make him groaned.

‘Senior, just how can I help you with this kind of condition your body is?’ although she said it when seeing the condition of Manstein’s body, what she referred was not the body but rather his gene.

‘I don’t know about it in details since my old age robbed me of my good memories but do you know Manstein’s father is a soldier right?’

When Alice came to see Ryner, Manstein’s grandfather, when the news of Manstein’s consciousness disappearance had not spread yet, he told her about the keywords in her life.

‘Senior is also my idol so of course, I know about it from Uncle Ben. Mm, so what do you want to tell me? I only told you, sir, that your grandson’s soul had gone missing.’

Even she herself could not hold her sadness and Ryner that sat on the chair also let out a sad sight and then looked back at her.

‘Do you know about Project Spartan?’ suddenly Ryner asked something that made Alice’s heart pounding hard. She was someone from the influential background and apparently she had known about it too.

‘That’s no way, right? How can someone that is produced from the project have a descendant!?’ shock and disbelief now covered her pretty face. Ryner’s wrinkles increased in intensity as he recalled the memories that he had.

‘So Miss Alice knew about it too, it seems. So you know the effect of that project to the host too? And even this project is the top secret in our country so no one even the organization behind the kidnapping case knows about it.’

Ryner let out a bitter laugh. Project Spartan in that world was a project to developed super soldiers. And this project was defeated only by Manstein’s discovery of Soul Transfer method!

As far as Alice knew, the project was successful even the spec ops from superpower country had the soldiers that had been enhanced by the project in their ranks. It was all thanks to the genetic engineering that contributed to the project.

And because this project altered the very gene itself, some downside was inevitable as well. But compared to the downside, the power a person that became the subject became more obvious as one could lift a bus with one of their hands, jump over five meters in a single leap, sprinting for fifty kilometers non-stop etc.

The downside was only that, the host would not be able to procreate, in other words, the person became sterile. The changed gene was called Terminator Gene due to the reason that it terminated someone’s chance to produce any descendant.

‘But other than sterile, their bloodlust, as well as their insane thirst of battle and somehow their thought all of it, is like an evil. One soldier from that project even can build an organization just to make a coup d’tat in a foreign country! So how can Senior Manstein suppress that!?’

Alice wanted to say something more but she did not realize that her eyes became moist and tears started to fell from he eyes.

‘You really cared about my grandson. Just when is the first time you meet him?’ this expression as well as the seriousness when Alice asked him made Ryner reconsider it to an extent.

‘When an organization that kidnapped several influential people’s child, both from military and politician side executed their movement, that is where I met him for the first time. But from the looks of it, he could not remember me because it happened a long time ago.’
