Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1515: Striking the Demon-Sealing Court

Three of the Four Spirits had already assembled, though the title of Baihu was now vacant.

Because for the time being, no one in the East China Sea Major Region was qualified to stand alongside the other three.

Qinglong looked down at Xuanwu and asked, "Xuanwu, did you sense anything?"

Xuanwu's voice rumbled deeply across the sea surface.

"A very unique energy reaction—it seems like some kind of powerful weapon. But the distance is too great, so I'm not certain."

Zhuque crossed her arms, her dark crimson combat suit adorned with ice-blue patterns, her expression cold and strikingly beautiful.

"I've already reported the situation here to Commander Li! But Xuanwu, Commander Li tends to listen to your advice. What do you think we should do next?"

She had ventured into Mist Valley twice before, and both times she had encountered major crises.

Especially last time—she had nearly died in there.

So now she had learned her lesson. She wouldn't make decisions on her own.

Xuanwu said, "My main body can't enter the Fog Valley Abyss, and with your current strength, going in again now would be extremely dangerous. After all, whatever's in there might already be provoked."

Qinglong frowned.

"If that's the case, those guys from the Colombia Ocean Fleet will get the upper hand!"

Xuanwu replied, "Caution never hurts!"

His gaze was incredibly deep.

"You've never ventured into the deep sea, so you have no idea what terrifying existences this world hides."

"After I was promoted to Epsilon-class, I thought I was the most powerful overlord of this planet's oceans! But when I dove to the seabed, I realized my own shallowness."

"The Fog Valley is no simple place. Even now, you've only scratched the surface."

Xuanwu was an extremely cautious and highly talented individual.

Since even he said so, Qinglong and Zhuque naturally respected his opinion.

"Alright then, let's first see what those Colombia guys are going to do!"

"Cadillus and Canero—those two are closer to the Fog Valley. They won't just sit by and do nothing, right?"

...

Just as Xuanwu and the others had said, the Ocean Fleet naturally wouldn't ignore the changes happening there.

After all, the Fog Valley was far too close to the naval harbor, and the impact on them was even more pronounced.

So Fleet Commander, Five-Star General Greto Douglas, immediately summoned Cadillus, the Lord of the Seas, and Yasin Canero, the Piercer.

These two were now the top aces of the Hell's Lock organization.

Canero was exceptionally talented. Though he had joined later, with Colombia's massive resource investment, his current strength was now catching up to Cadillus.

The two arrived at the commander's office and met General Douglas.

Douglas, with a pipe clenched between his teeth, said to them, "There's another unusual disturbance coming from Star Island! It's very dangerous for our base. However, this could also be a massive opportunity!"

"We need to send someone to lead a team to investigate. Of course, someone else will have to stay behind to guard the naval base."

"It's not peaceful here. Right now, we have to deal not only with Huaxu Nation, but also these Neon madmen who never give up and always clamor for overthrowing their superiors!"

Cadillus put his hands on his hips and let out a deep breath.

"Phew—that damn place again. Hell! I have no idea when those weird things underground are going to show up! They always hide beneath the ground, making it impossible for our cruise missiles to strike precisely!"

General Douglas took a couple of puffs from his pipe, squinting as he said, "Cadillus, stay focused! Those things down there aren't easy to deal with."

Cadillus gave a dismissive smile.

"OK, OK! I get it, Commander! I'll take the guys and go check out what's going on."

He spread his hands impatiently. "Hey, what can I say? I love babysitting!"

But even as he said that, if he were asked to go to Star Island alone, he would absolutely refuse.

Transcendents were not invincible. They were just humans who were exceptionally powerful in certain aspects.

But humans were still humans. Even an Epsilon-class could die from some seemingly ridiculous little accident.

Even Zhang Yi, in theory, could choke on food and suffocate to death.

That wasn't a joke—it was a fact.

That island was covered in lethal poison, and once inside the abyss, they could encounter countless complex situations.

So important missions were always carried out in teams.

Douglas turned his gaze to Canero.

"As for you, Canero, you'll stay behind to guard the naval headquarters. Prevent any unexpected incidents!"

Canero nodded. "Yes, Commander!"

...

After the upheaval on Star Island, Zhang Yi immediately led his Transcendent squad straight toward Neon's Edo City.

Since they planned to directly attack Undying Mountain, they had to set out during the day to avoid facing the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

During the day, Edo City was still a bustling scene.

However, there were many more Demon-Sealing Court members patrolling the streets, and the tops of tall buildings were already occupied by Transcendents skilled at scouting.

A Transcendent with fly-like compound eyes sat perched atop the Edo TV Tower, the majority of Edo City spread out beneath his gaze.

As the wielder of the "Maggot Fly" ability, he could dynamically track movements across a wide area.

If any disturbance occurred, he would detect it immediately.

Ever since the incident at the Daliangdu Museum that night, Edo City had been placed under a complete lockdown, and top-tier experts had even been pulled in from other regions.

Zhang Yi and his people appeared in Edo City, each of them disguised. The disguise wasn't too difficult—tens of thousands of Seed Humans in the city were wearing casual clothes, and in the bitter winter cold, their heavy coats mostly concealed their faces.

So unless they actively started fighting, Zhang Yi and his team would hardly draw the Demon-Sealing Court's attention.

"Zhang Yi, are we heading straight for Undying Mountain?"

Deng Shentong looked at Zhang Yi and asked in a low voice.

He had already prepared himself for battle, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

This was the headquarters of all of Neon's Transcendents.

When the time came, not only would Zhang Yi have to fight, but they would all have to face Transcendents who vastly outnumbered them. No one was going to have it easy.

"Before that, there's something I need to verify."

Zhang Yi looked around. He had deliberately come to this place because, a few days ago, he had conducted an experiment here.

Zhang Yi surveyed his surroundings, then walked toward a pile of rubble.

There, he found a headless corpse.

It was lying on the ground in a bizarre posture, dried up like a deflated balloon.

"He's dead. That means these Seed Humans can still die from fatal injuries."

"But based on what Fatty Xu saw before, if the body remains intact, there's still a chance of resurrection."

"It's almost like a nest for some kind of parasitic organism, isn't it?"
