Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone

"Stop burning it! I'll talk! Isn't that enough?"

Gu Wending grinned miserably.

He had undergone rigorous counter-interrogation training.

But having his soul pulled out and burned repeatedly... That indeed was not covered in their training courses!

...

The scale of Resurrection City was akin to a small town with ten thousand people.

The tavern attack incident quickly spread to the neighboring Wanli Gold Gang's territory, where these two gangs, already frequently at odds, began sporadic skirmishes.

That's how gangs settle disputes, fighting first and talking later. The Lower City gangs feared nothing less than reducing their own numbers.

Using the cover of dark areas, Wang Jixuan easily slipped out of Resurrection City.

He circled halfway around the Black Fire Gang's territory, pinpointing the gaps in the opponent's defense lines, and once again stealthily re-entered Resurrection City under the eyes of the 'Green Sportswear' guards.

Wang Jixuan's plan was simple.

Since Gu Wending, this minor leader, could not find the whereabouts of the Black Fire Gang boss,

he would use this minor leader to locate senior members of the Black Fire Gang ranked in the single digits... By following this trail, he could eventually take down the boss of the Black Fire Gang.

The target Wang Jixuan had set his sights on was the Black Fire Gang's third in command, an old gang leader nicknamed 'Giant Bone Fish,' Wen Heisen.

The 'Giant Bone Fish' Wen Heisen, as described by Gu Wending, was a short-statured, unremarkable-looking old man who lived year-round in the five-story spire in the southeastern part of Resurrection City.

This spire was the dispatch center of the Black Fire Gang.

The tip of the spire touched the ceiling of the 49th Floor of the fortress, with a huge sphere connected beneath the tip, housing a biological radar.

When activated, this radar could scan all life forms within a certain area and lock onto and track up to three hundred individual organisms.

Gu Wending speculated that since the Black Fire Gang had just had an incident, 'Giant Bone Fish' Wen Heisen would most likely be in the command room on the third floor of the dispatch center.

"Wen Heisen is always very responsible at work, merciless and principled in handling things, and everyone respects him. He's one of the soul figures of our Black Fire Gang, and he definitely knows where the boss is,"

Said Gu Wending's voice, resonating in Wang Jixuan's mind.

This old soul was sealed by Wang Jixuan in a Soul Capturing Charm, easily packed into a shallow pocket.

With a trembling voice, Gu Wending said, "You promised to let me possess his body; a god would not deceive his frail believers, right?"

"I always do as I say," Wang Jixuan said, slightly twitching the corner of his mouth.

He would let Gu Wending's soul find a body, keep his promise, and then directly kill this new body.

Was that lying? This is tactical deception.

After experiencing firsthand the power of a sniper rifle with his Qi Refining Realm Dao Body, Wang Jixuan now dared not be careless.

Even though Gu Wending's soul couldn't lie and had provided complete details of the spire's defensive flaws, Wang Jixuan still observed the spire for nearly two hours before officially starting his operation.

The fortification of the spire was not particularly stringent.

These gangs were merely makeshift groups themselves.

In Wang Jixuan's Spiritual Sense, there were fifty to sixty gang enforcers inside the spire.

Around the spire, on the rooftops of these three to four-story buildings, there were four groups of lookouts, with several spotlights partially lit in various places.

Suddenly, gunshots and explosions sounded in the distance.

"They've started fighting! Wanli Gold Gang has begun fighting!"

Gu Wending's voice echoed excitedly in Wang Jixuan's mind:

"They might send people to support that side, great opportunity!"

Wang Jixuan nodded and continued to wait patiently.

Two groups of enforcers were simultaneously drawn away, leaving in a vehicle covered with thick canvas, which gave him the perfect opportunity to infiltrate.

Using the dark areas between the low-rise buildings, Wang Jixuan moved like a hawk, descending and ascending smoothly as he approached the north side of the spire, lying down beside the low wall on the roof of a small building.

The searchlight from the spire swept a massive beam of light over Wang Jixuan's head.

He held his breath, counted to three silently, flipped over, sprung forward, the Godspeed Talisman shining brightly, Qi filled his feet, his body shot out obliquely like a cheetah, landing precisely below the ventilation duct on the second floor of the spire, his left foot's toe pushing off for leverage, his hands forcefully pulled open the duct, and he easily crawled inside.

"This is the place! This ventilation duct leads to a storeroom on the second floor, close to the only elevator! I was involved in the designing! I know all the pathways!"

Gu Wending said quickly:

"If we're lucky, we might find some clothes, and I still have the access code for this side!"

"Can I really replace Wen Heisen?"

His voice carried a trace of trepidation.

This was the only glimmer of hope he could grasp in his desperation.

"Hmm."

Wang Jixuan responded simply, moving silently ahead like a gecko through the concrete ventilation ducts.

Gu Wending marveled, "You indeed are a god, only a god could manipulate human souls at will! Then why can't you just find our BOSS and kill him? Aren't gods omniscient and omnipotent?"

Wang Jixuan did not continue the conversation.

The path was very clear, and Wang Jixuan was also in luck as the storeroom contained two dirty green sportswear tops.

Wang Jixuan had to do a considerable amount of calming work on his Dao Heart before he reluctantly put on the garment.

The smell made Wang Jixuan genuinely uncomfortable.

The spire's only route up and down was via a single elevator, and to prevent stealth attacks, there were no stairs installed, with an emergency passage being reserved inside the elevator shaft, which contained surveillance and scanning equipment.

Everyone entering the elevator had to enter a constantly changing access code based on a [fixed database] if they weren't on the surveillance system's [whitelist], or else an alarm would be triggered.

Wang Jixuan, holding a mop and bucket, walked calmly along the second floor's circular corridor, casually nodding at a few Black Fire Gang enforcers playing cards in the corner, and stood in front of the elevator doors.

The elevator was ascending from the first floor, and Wang Jixuan casually pressed the button to go up.

—This bit of common sense had been thoroughly learned from Mu Liang's memories.

Wang Jixuan knew that his operation to surreptitiously attack the enemy's headquarters had reached its most dangerous moment.

In the worst-case scenario, the 'Bartender' wanting to perish together with him could enter the elevator and stay silent, not giving him the access code, and he would then be trapped in an assault by more than eighty gang enforcers inside and out.

'Anyway, be prepared for a tough fight. There should be no snipers inside the spire.'

Thump, thump, thump!

His heartbeat weirdly slowed down by half a beat, his normally calm Spiritual Sense suddenly surged wildly!

Ding!

The elevator doors slowly opened,, revealing an elderly man with a tired face, not taller than five feet three inches, with silver white short hair, accompanied by two strong men in green sportswear carrying rifles.

Wang Jixuan's gaze met with the other's gaze precisely.

He felt the tangled Qi residing within this strong old man's body.

Cultivator?

Spiritual Ability User?

The old man's tired eyes suddenly burst with bright light!

He stared intently at Wang Jixuan, as if recognizing his face, the Qi inside him began to expand, his gray suit instantly tightened!

Just as the old man was about to shout and throw a punch, Wang Jixuan beat him to the punch, kicking forward!
