Chapter 146: Beauties Fight

Zheng Zhong was the deputy director of the Wu’an Department in Tianhai City, responsible for major cases in the city, equivalent to the second-in-command of the former Hua Nation provincial armed police force. He held considerable authority, commanding at least several thousand armed police officers. As a sixth-level, eighth-grade civil servant, he was part of Tianhai City’s upper echelons.

However, no one knew that this deputy director of the Wu’an Department was actually a spy for the Mowei Empire. A few years in the future, he stole many important secrets from the 327 Research Institute in Tianhai City, fled with those secrets to the Mowei Empire, causing significant losses to the Shenxia Alliance, which in turn strengthened the Mowei Empire’s national power.

Zheng Zhong used this achievement to become a major general in the Mowei Empire, commanding heavy troops and wielding great influence, becoming one of the Shenxia Alliance’s most formidable enemies.

The Zheng Zhong treason case shook the world in the previous life, causing immense humiliation and losses for the Shenxia Alliance, while bringing glory to Zheng Zhong. Even Jiang Xincheng, who usually paid little attention to external matters in his previous life, heard about this incident and witnessed the killings in Tianhai City caused by Zheng Zhong’s actions.

Therefore, Jiang Xincheng had some memory of this major event. However, after so many years and with his focus on cultivation and improvement since his rebirth, he had not recalled it until now. Unexpectedly, while having dinner that evening, he saw Director Zheng Zhong on television, which immediately brought this matter back to his mind.

If Jiang Xincheng could expose this before Zheng Zhong fled to the Mowei Empire with the stolen secrets, revealing Zheng Zhong’s secrets, he could imagine the substantial rewards he would receive.

Merit, Flourishing Tang Points, status, power, reputation… and preventing the Shenxia Alliance from suffering such severe losses.

At this thought, Jiang Xincheng silently resolved that if he could expose Zheng Zhong, this malignant tumor, his gains would be extremely rich. Even if not for the sake of the Shenxia Alliance, these rewards alone were worth his efforts.

In the following days, using the influence of the Flourishing Tang Empire, Jiang Xincheng gathered detailed information about Zheng Zhong and, through investigation, learned the location of one of Zheng Zhong’s secret hideouts, which Zheng Zhong frequently visited.

After some consideration, Jiang Xincheng decided to personally investigate this secret hideout of Zheng Zhong to see if he could uncover anything.

Autumn Moon Manor!

Situated in the mountains on the outskirts of Tianhai City, it had a beautiful environment and remote roads, with few visitors. This was Zheng Zhong’s secret base in Tianhai City.

Jiang Xincheng knew of this place not only through investigation but also by recalling memories from his previous life, remembering that Autumn Moon Manor was Zheng Zhong’s residence.

In all of Tianhai City, ninety-nine percent of people did not know who owned Autumn Moon Manor. The name on the property deed was not Zheng Zhong but an unfamiliar name, Li Ding. As for who Li Ding was, almost no one knew.

Some said Li Ding was a wealthy merchant from the Non-Aggression Pact Organization who visited Tianhai City in the Shenxia Alliance years ago. Seeing the scenic beauty of the suburbs, he built Autumn Moon Manor, a villa. Yet no one knew that this Autumn Moon Manor actually belonged to Zheng Zhong, the deputy director of Tianhai City’s Wu’an Department; Li Ding was merely a pawn he used.

Jiang Xincheng took a bus to the mountains near Autumn Moon Manor, then sneaked into the mountains on foot. After several hours, he arrived at Autumn Moon Manor.

Autumn Moon Manor was a very large villa, with hundreds of connected rooms and extensive grounds, comparable to a small university.

The manor had artificial hills, gardens, a swimming pool, fruit groves, fish ponds… The scenery was extremely beautiful, almost like a paradise. However, with his mid-General Realm spiritual sense, Jiang Xincheng clearly detected at least a hundred guards stationed along the way around Autumn Moon Manor, including experts at the Bone Training Realm.

A small villa surrounded by over a hundred Primordial Warriors, nearly half of whom were at the Tendon Training Realm and Bone Training Realm—who would believe there was nothing hidden there? Only someone of Zheng Zhong’s status as a high-ranking official in Tianhai City and an important spy for the Mowei Empire could deploy such extensive security.

The strict protection of Autumn Moon Manor shocked Jiang Xincheng. With so many Primordial Warrior guards, if his tracks were exposed, the consequences would be dire. Even with his strength, he could likely be surrounded and killed. If not for exposing this globally shocking spy case and gaining rich rewards, Jiang Xincheng would never have come here.

However, as the saying goes, great rewards come with great risks. As long as he could expose Zheng Zhong, the gains would be worth the danger.

After months of diligent practice, Jiang Xincheng’s Dragon Concealment Art had reached the peak of the minor achievement stage, just one step away from major achievement. Its concealment effect was extremely powerful. At this point, not even Primordial Warriors at the Bone Training Realm of the same level could detect him; even Great Yuan Warriors at the Cloud Condensation Realm and Frontier Governor-level experts at the Rain Transformation Realm would struggle to find Jiang Xincheng’s traces when he fully activated the Dragon Concealment Art.

It was because of the Dragon Concealment Art’s protection and his mid-General Realm spiritual sense that Jiang Xincheng dared to boldly venture into the tiger’s den alone, seeking evidence against Zheng Zhong to expose this major threat to the Shenxia Alliance.

Moving cautiously, Jiang Xincheng progressed slowly. Even with the aid of his mid-General Realm spiritual sense, which allowed him to perceive everything clearly within tens of meters, he did not dare to be careless.

The guards around Autumn Moon Manor were too tight; the slightest mistake risked exposure. How could Jiang Xincheng dare to be negligent?

For a distance of just a few hundred meters, Jiang Xincheng spent several hours sneaking. Only when the sky darkened and night fell did he speed up slightly.

Several hours later, Jiang Xincheng finally reached the outer wall of Autumn Moon Manor. The wall was very high, several meters tall, and Jiang Xincheng did not dare to climb over because the top of the wall had internal surveillance cameras and was illuminated by bright lights, making it more heavily guarded than other areas.

After a careful search, Jiang Xincheng found a drainage ditch around the wall. He cautiously sneaked to the ditch, quietly dug out some soil, jumped into the drainage ditch from the side, and passed through it to cross the wall barrier, entering the interior of Autumn Moon Manor.

But just after crossing the wall, Jiang Xincheng dug a tunnel into the side of the drainage ditch and hid inside. As soon as he hid, a Primordial Warrior at the Bone Forging Initial Stage entered the drainage ditch from the other end and inspected it from start to finish. If Jiang Xincheng had not hidden quickly, he would have been discovered.

The protection of Autumn Moon Manor was so meticulous it was astonishing, rivaling many military strongholds.

Yet, the stricter the protection, the more it indicated that Autumn Moon Manor had secrets, hidden affairs that should not be known, meaning Jiang Xincheng’s potential gains were even greater.

After entering Autumn Moon Manor through the side tunnel, Jiang Xincheng immediately saw a large swimming pool not far away. In the pool, five women were fighting.

Yes, women were fighting in the swimming pool, and all five were beauties who could score over 90 points, with graceful figures, pretty faces, long legs, and smooth arms, each unique in her own way.
