Seeking Martial Dao in All Reborn Lives

At this very moment, the atmosphere within the Martial Arts Association Headquarters was quite relaxed.

Over the past few hours, good news had been trickling in constantly. The forces from the various armies that had secretly infiltrated Jinmen were gradually withdrawing. The situation could be described as extremely promising.

With the Martial Arts Association victorious and the armies in retreat, its prestige was set to reach a new peak. In light of this, it would be much easier to win over the factions within the civilian Martial Arts Realm that were still on the fence. Thanks to the presence of Zhao Xuanqi and the Three Elders, there was even a chance to form an alliance with the Harmony masters of the Martial Arts Realm. The current Martial Arts Association had finally earned that right.

As they chatted, their tones were lighthearted. They had even begun discussing how to build hype for the World Martial Banquet the next morning.

Zhao Xuanqi, however, did not join them. Instead, he returned to his room to recover his Physical Ability and mend the injuries from his previous battle, preparing for any contingencies.

At that moment, however, the conversation of the Three Elders came to a sudden halt, and their expressions shifted slightly.

"What’s wrong?"

The members of the Five Great Sects frowned. A moment later, they heard the sound of something cutting through the air as a figure leaped directly into the courtyard, causing everyone’s expressions to change.

The newcomer was a man of average build, average looks, and an overwhelmingly average presence. In fact, after seeing his face, none of them could even recall his features.

Furthermore, the masters from the Five Great Sects couldn’t sense any threat from him at all, as if he truly were just an ordinary person.

This meant the man’s strength far surpassed their imagination.

’Who is this person?’

The masters of the Five Great Sects did not recognize the newcomer, but the Three Elders were different. It was Thousand Illusions Li Ping. How could they not know him when he wasn’t deliberately hiding his identity?

But why would Li Ping suddenly come to the Martial Arts Association Headquarters?

According to their prior agreement, although the Martial Arts Association and the National Salvation Association were secretly cooperating, they were to avoid public contact as much as possible due to the National Salvation Association’s sensitive status, lest they leave behind any incriminating evidence.

For Li Ping to appear openly at the Martial Arts Association Headquarters now, he must have encountered a special situation—and an extremely urgent one. Otherwise, he would never have broken their agreement so easily.

’What on earth happened? The situation in Jinmen is already settled. What other surprises could there be?’

In an instant, the hearts of the Three Elders leaped into their throats.

SWOOSH!!

But before they could ask, a figure appeared as if teleporting like a ghost. It was Zhao Xuanqi, who had been in his attic room recovering his physical stamina and energy.

With his Spiritual Sense, he had immediately detected Li Ping’s unconcealed approach.

"What happened? Why did you come in person?"

Zhao Xuanqi frowned slightly. He also knew that a personal visit from Li Ping must mean something extremely important was afoot.

"Just now, we received intelligence that a group of Neon experts secretly infiltrated Jinmen some time ago. There’s unusual activity in the Neon Concession tonight; it seems they’re plotting a secret operation. Their target is most likely the masters from the various armies who are about to withdraw from Jinmen!"

Li Ping held nothing back, delivering the intelligence bluntly. His tone was incredibly grave.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this news, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

No matter how the events in Jinmen unfolded, it was ultimately just internal strife among the powers of the Divine Land. But if Neon were to interfere, it would no longer be a simple internal conflict.

This incident, they knew, was not as simple as the previous world martial arts tournament.

To be blunt, the world martial arts tournament was merely a conflict between the civilians of the two nations and had not escalated to an official level. But this was different. The enemy’s plan was to directly attack masters from the various armies—an official force of the Divine Land. The repercussions of such an act were easy to imagine.

The relationship between the two nations was already incredibly tense, at a breaking point even. This action would undoubtedly escalate the conflict dramatically and could even be the spark that lit the powder keg.

’What on earth is the Neon Nation trying to do?!’

A sense of foreboding rose in everyone’s hearts. If the Neon Nation truly dared to do this, did it mean the situation in the Northern Territory had changed? Was a real war about to begin?!

The thought sent a chill down everyone’s spines. The current Martial Arts Association in Jinmen was still too fragile to withstand such a national upheaval. If they were dragged into it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And for the Neon Nation to dare to hatch such a plan, no one knew what kind of preparations they had made.

In an instant, the situation that had seemed clear just moments ago once again became shrouded in mystery. It was even possible that things were now far more perilous than before.

"Does the intelligence mention the skill level of the enemy masters?"

Zhao Xuanqi asked after a moment of silence.

"That’s unclear. A plan of this importance would be top secret, with information almost completely locked down and known only to the highest echelons. Our agent already risked their life to get this general intelligence. If there were enough time, I’d have a way to infiltrate the Neon Concession and gather more information, but the intelligence is time-sensitive. We don’t have that luxury. We have no intel on the composition of their forces."

Li Ping said in a low voice.

"This intelligence isn’t certain. How accurate is it?"

One of the Three Elders asked.
