The fate eye at the center of the array scanned everywhere in the court before releasing chains in all directions. Each chain would bind someone who was detected to have a parasite. Wang Wei and Wu Hong would then use their Acupuncture Technique to remove the red parasite from their bodies. Some tried to run away, but they were soon captured by the fate chains or by other members of the court.
"Hmm?"
"What is it?" Wu Hong asked.
"I sensed someone watching me from that infected individual," Wang Wei said as he pointed to someone in the far east.
"That means this attack was not just to cause chaos and destruction, but also to gather intel."
"Most likely."
"Have you tried tracing the karma line?" ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐๐ป๐ผ๐ฏ๐๐.๐๐ผ๐บ
"I did it, and it failed."
"Thatโs unfortunate," Wu Hong shook her head before they continued their work. Many people glanced at how perfectly in sync they worked and confirmed the rumors circulating about their relationship. Of course, some refused to admit it until those two publicly admitted it. With the two working together, the situation was soon under control, so Qiyuan summoned them.
"Words alone cannot express how relieved I am that you two were here," Qiyuan immediately expressed. This event has solidified a decision he was struggling with: his first transcendent foundation will be about perfection. He still cannot bypass the mental barrier of entering the Dark Truth, but he can still cultivate a modified version of Wang Wei and Wu Hongโs technique. Then, he can use the concept of perfection to finally cultivate the [Existence Blueprint Technique].
"Can we talk in private?" Wang Wei said, which immediately extinguished Qiyuanโs excitement. He dismissed all the other strategists, except for Ye Guang.
"What is it?"
"We didnโt get everybody."
"How is that possible?" Ye Guang asked.
"Based on a preliminary study of this thing, we deduced they have three stages," Wu Hong explained. "Our method can only discover the first stage, and it seems three hundred years is enough for a few to evolve to the second stage and beyond."
"If your methods can only discover the first stage, what is required to discover them in the second and third stages?"
"The second stage would probably require the Saint to take action. As for the third..." She did not say anything, but her silence spoke volumes. "The good news is there is a chance that this parasite will lose its ability to transmit by the time it reaches the third stage."
"How confident are you about that statement?"
"60%, maybe less," Wu Hong replied.
"That is not much," Ye Guang muttered.
"Well, weโve only had these parasites for less than an hour," Wang Wei explained.
"Iโm not blaming you, just pointing out that the number is not reassuring given what is at stake." Ye Guang spoke the truth. The consequences will be dire if these parasites are not dealt with as swiftly as possible.
"Go initiate a lockdown. No one can enter or leave the court," Qiyuan ordered.
"Is that useful? Over the past three hundred years, many people outside should have come into contact with these parasites," Ye Guang commented.
"We can still minimize the risk," Qiyuan explained. Ye Guang nodded before executing his order.
"Additionally, I need you two to scan the entire world to find any first-stage parasites."
