Chapter 1240
[Immortal Realm Chapter] Star Martial Set, Familiarity Leads to Entanglement
The next morning.
In the presidential suite of the Victoria Hotel, Genevieve's long legs were exposed outside the blankets, and her face still showed signs of pain. She opened her sleepy eyes groggily, having barely slept the night before. There were faint bloodstains on the sheets.
She simply couldn't understand why she, a Star Warrior, had been reduced to this state by a mere Star Warrior!
"you're awake."
The annihilation clone was already dressed and sitting to the side, sullenly staring at Lin Shan in the Star Palace. It was clearly complaining that this doll was too fragile and could not withstand its power at the late stage of the primordial spirit level. Next time, it should find a strong person of the same level for itself!
Cui Yuan stood dumbfounded in the courtyard, listening to his senior having a conversation in the void with someone, and secretly wondered if there was more than one ascendant.
Outside, Genevieve was no longer the aloof woman she always was; instead, she appeared delicate and pitiful. No woman could resist such a powerful man. Last night, she had tasted the sweetness and couldn't stop. Although her body couldn't take it, her mind was already highly dependent on him, like an addict addicted to opium.
"I admit, you really do have something special in that area. From now on, every month—no, every week—come to this room and wait for me. Remember, don't be absent!"
The Annihilation Avatar secretly curled its lip and coldly replied.
"I'm not a stud bull, once is enough, miss, please have some self-respect!"
"Yo?"
Genevieve looked surprised, not expecting this man to have such a contrasting charm, and immediately felt an indescribable sense of conquest.
Then she chuckled, covered her mouth, bent down and pulled a large black box from under the bed, pushed it in front of him, and gestured for him to open it.
The Annihilation Avatar was unimpressed, and with a smirk, unlocked it.
In an instant, a bright blue light flashed, illuminating the entire suite like a shimmering galaxy, and the dazzling screen displayed an enticing list.
"This is the Star Wars series set, the Star Warrior Era limited edition commemorative set - Star Warrior Edition, which includes various attack, defense, and support star artifacts. What do you think?"
Genevieve's eyes curved like crescent moons; she truly lived up to her reputation as a wealthy woman, giving such a generous gift right away!
The Annihilation Avatar was indifferent to this; as a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he had no interest in the Golden Core set. However, Lin Shan in the Star Palace was immediately intrigued!
This will be an excellent opportunity to help me climb higher in the microcosm of light in the future!
"Say yes!"
The annihilation clone could not disobey the main body's orders and could only nod reluctantly.
Seeing his reluctant expression, Genevieve smiled and took out another black card, lightly handing it to him, while forcefully pulling his head into her arms.
"Honey, here are 800,000 star coins. Take them and spend them first. If you need more, I'll give you more next time we meet."
As he spoke, he was consumed by lust and couldn't resist demanding more.
The annihilation clone was filled with sorrow, but Lin Shan in the Star Palace didn't care at all. He demanded that I tie up this rich woman and kill her. She was so straightforward in giving money and equipment. This is how investors should act. How can you not satisfy her?
After leaving the Victoria Hotel, Lin Shan had the money to rent a larger apartment in the city, finally saying goodbye to his old, dilapidated apartment.
Of course, he was a sentimental person and never forgot his brothers after gaining power. He also brought Xiao Zhong and Ze Yu up and settled them on either side of the apartment.
The two poor brothers finally escaped the garbage room with 1,500 star coins and stepped into a brand new life in a large urban apartment. They excitedly celebrated on the balcony, holding a bottle of cheap red wine and eating synthetic steak.
Looking out at the bustling traffic and towering buildings, I never imagined I could have this day.
Lin Shan opened the black box in the room and examined the equipment piece by piece. He found that it was indeed a product that the wealthy had paid for: powered exoskeleton armor, neural link helmet, anti-gravity hover boots, plasma rifle, portable energy shield module, liquid metal self-healing armor, optical stealth module, space tactical bracelet, pocket drone for individual reconnaissance, and so on.
This is the top-tier set for Star Warriors, cutting-edge technology used in interstellar warfare in the void!
"I vaguely remember Genevieve mentioning something about the Star Warrior Era. Is that the era name in the Twilight Universe?"
Logically speaking, it's more like a technological era, or perhaps a technological star warrior era, since without technology, it seems impossible to establish frequent exchanges between different worlds in the universe by relying solely on star warriors.
I'll definitely ask her again next time I have the chance.
After changing into his full set of equipment, Lin Shan sighed slightly. Don't underestimate him just because he's only a Star Warrior now. With this equipment, he can easily bully Star Warriors who are above his level!
Genevieve is indeed a super-rich woman. Making money and robbing money can't compare to the speed at which a rich woman can become rich.
Fortunately, I have the Annihilation Avatar. Based on my performance last night and this morning, I have probably completely won her heart. If I can obtain the Star Martial King, Star Martial Venerable, or even higher series sets, I might be able to stand up to the Star Martial Emperor of this world!
Listening to the two mongrel dogs barking on the neighboring balcony, he sighed slightly and shook his head. Ordinary people are still so heartless. He couldn't help them much in the future. He just hoped he wouldn't be implicated by them.
His initial goal was to escape this universe and ascend to the celestial realm.
However, after gradually coming into contact with the truth of the world, an idea gradually sprouted in his mind: this universe might be able to break through to the Void Realm and receive the rewards of heaven and earth. Since he was already here, he should make the best of it and seize this rare opportunity!
As for how to break through the Void Realm, one must find the three spiritual realms where the remnants of the immortal path reside.
Although he had captured Cui Yuan in his own Star Palace, such a small fry did not have much authority. If he wanted to infiltrate, he would have to continue to make contact with cultivators.
With that in mind, he dialed Colonel Brun's number.
"Sir, I think I might need it at this stage."
A month later.
In Priscilla State, Lin Shan led the ICE team into battle, defeating a horde of hundreds of zombies and finally capturing the cultivator responsible for the surrounding terrorist attacks.
The man looked terrified, clearly having already heard of Lin Shan's great reputation.
"You're that murderous monster from the Ice Cube organization, why didn't you target someone else but me?"
"What ice cube? We're called ICE, the department that specifically manages illegal immigrants! As for the murderous demon, you're talking about yourself, aren't you?"
Lin Shan signaled to the surrounding members to surround the area, and then personally took action to capture the man.
This guy refused to submit, knowing that he would not fare well if he fell into their hands, so he struggled desperately, with all sorts of demonic energy and evil winds sweeping around, but they were basically child's play.
hum~
The blue lightsaber lit up; it was the exclusive sword of a Star Warrior. In his hand, it emitted a powerful magnetic field, causing hundreds of Star Warriors around him to tremble with fear and reveal expressions of envy and jealousy.
The anti-gravity boots carried him into the sky, and he walked step by step through the air until he arrived in front of the person.
No matter what spells and magical artifacts the opponent used to hit her face, they were all blocked by the portable energy shield, which could only create ripples in the water, but could not break through her defenses at all.
Lin Shan simply raised his lightsaber and slowly brought it down on him.
"Wait, I surrender!" In despair, the man knelt down with a thud. A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, and you send a whale to deal with him? Isn't that a waste of talent? I'll surrender, okay?
"Tie him up."
Lin Shan ordered his men to hold the guy down, and at the same time, a transport plane brought over a transparent, fully enclosed glass device and shoved him inside!
This is a vacuum insulation cage specifically designed to isolate cultivators. After all, the Federation has long been familiar with the strange methods of the immortal path, and it is easy for them to escape using unorthodox methods. Therefore, a targeted device was developed so that no one can escape using magic inside.
Even Lin Shan took the time to try it out, and even he couldn't escape using magic normally inside. Of course, it was still easy to force it open with strength.
Since there are such things that can be used against low-level cultivators, there must also be things that can be used against high-level cultivators. This made him extremely vigilant and even more determined to hide himself.
Once brought back to the interrogation room, they were bound to undergo severe torture!
"Tell me, who sent you, and what is your true intention?"
This person's testimony was exactly the same as Cui Yuan's, clearly indicating that they were both pawns who were being used and had no idea about the scheme behind the scenes, and could only keep complaining.
"Who is your superior, and in what specific position?"
The other party still didn't understand, claiming that communication between superiors and subordinates was one-way, and only the other party could contact them, while they could not contact the other party.
After interrogating him repeatedly without obtaining any useful information, the door opened and two medical staff in white coats came in, pushing a transfer bed and about to put him on it.
"Wait, what are you doing? Don't slice me up!"
This is the most terrifying thing. If it falls into the hands of these beasts, it will definitely be scientifically dissected and studied, and then thrown into the organ market for trade.
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine!
The medical staff didn't waste any words with him and immediately tried to forcibly carry him away, which terrified him so much that he shouted loudly.
"I know, I know. Don't abandon me. I have important information to provide. The other side is hiding in Copenhagen and has provided us with a lot of intelligence support."
Copenhagen?
This was the place where Lin Shan first stepped into the world of Steel Furnace, and he never expected that he would end up back there after all this time.
"take away!"
He immediately sent the message back and then led his men to Copenhagen at top speed.
In this steel furnace city, the third largest in the world and the largest city in the Aether Federation, lies the oldest aristocratic family, who secretly control industries around the world and are the invisible operators behind the scenes.
After receiving authorization from headquarters and special permission from the Vice President, ICE parachuted into the area and launched a capture operation.
Codenamed 'Hurricane'!
The goal is to find the mastermind behind the terrorist plots that are hidden here and responsible for all parts of the Aether Federation.
When the state apparatus was operating at full capacity and began to clear away all obstacles, they actually found some clues.
In particular, unidentified individuals often gather near a certain church and regularly spread reactionary remarks.
Of course, in the microcosm, because it is a technology-driven world, people are generally educated and have developed their intelligence, so they don't easily believe in any religion, and there is no need to worry about them being manipulated.
But this group of people are always clamoring to amend the constitution and protect labor rights, and they try every means to strike, which seriously affects the interests of factory owners and the profits of multinational corporations!
Therefore, Lin Shan was ordered to lead a team to raid the church on Saturday morning.
I was surprised to find that so many people had already gathered inside. They were all red-faced and shouting loudly with their arms raised, saying they wanted to strike to raise wages and improve benefits. The leader, with his mustache twitching, was giving a speech with his hands raised, which was very inflammatory.
"Everyone down, hands behind your heads, ICE enforcement!"
The crowd was taken aback at first, but upon hearing that it was ICE, they immediately became enraged and rushed forward to retaliate, wishing they could kill these people.
It turns out there's been too much news lately, with things like ICE killing people in the street, disregarding the law, committing all sorts of atrocities, and being called the SS and Gestapo, making their overall reputation very bad.
Now, facing unarmed civilians, they showed no mercy, pulling out the stun guns hanging from their waists—these are specifically designed to deal with troublemakers!
Lin Shan spotted the leader at a glance, and to his surprise, it was someone he knew. Xiao Zhong and Ze Yu even knelt down on the spot!
"Master of Laifeng Martial Arts School? What are you doing here?"
The old man gave a bitter smile, looking at the frenzied crowd around him. He almost blurted out that he had no choice in the matter. Just as the ICE officers were about to step forward and take him away, he immediately stood up and resisted!
Star Martial Masters are old but still powerful; even at their advanced age, their cultivation level still surpasses that of others.
They actually resisted law enforcement on the spot; I don't know what they were feeling guilty about.
Seeing this, Lin Shan had no choice but to step forward and fight personally. His body crackled and popped as his liquid metal self-healing armor activated.
He drew his Star Magnetic Sword and charged towards his opponent without hesitation!
The two then brazenly began fighting inside the church, and soon the place collapsed. Two powered exoskeletons and anti-gravity boots appeared, and they immediately flew into the sky to fight each other from a distance.
This battle was unprecedented, even being broadcast live to the entire Federation, with audio and video recording throughout.
Many viewers were watching a battle between Star Martial Master level experts for the first time, and they couldn't help but exclaim how exciting and thrilling it was, staying glued to their screens to see who would win!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
Small, disc-shaped drones flew around, occasionally using the FPV's maneuverability to flank from behind, and even seemed to have a tendency to self-destruct, which frightened the Wind Pavilion Master so much that he had no choice but to intervene.
He also had a Star Wars katana in his hand, but it was shrouded in black light like splashed ink, and he also had decent equipment on his body.
But Lin Shan still had a plasma gun, which would occasionally create distance and fire a burst of bullets. The power of that bullet made every cell in his body try to avoid it!
Activating the energy defense star block was also to no avail; its energy was quickly depleted. It took two hours to charge but only five minutes of energy was available, which was no match for the fully armed enemy!
"Bang bang bang!"
A large net was shot down from the sky. It was made of a very special material that could not be torn or split. Taking advantage of the moment, it was caught in the net.
Lin Shan, holding a capture gun, said with a solemn expression:
"Come back with us first, Master. There's something we need to ask you later. If we can find out that you have nothing to do with it, I'll bail you out!"
"Hehe, too late."
Master Lai Feng shook his head with a wry smile, then suddenly transformed into a wisp of black smoke and escaped from the net, completely defying basic physics.
Everyone was shocked and astonished. The Master of Laifeng Pavilion was actually a cultivator?! (End of Chapter)
