Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

```

The international flight to the Red Star Empire.

Alkaid had already boarded the plane.

His weapons and battle garments were all checked in as "antiques" and "artworks."

Of course, he could have arranged for a private jet, but...

The efficiency was too slow, and the commotion it caused was a bit too much.

Although a commercial airliner lacked secrecy, as long as he was fast and timed it right, whether he was exposed or not didn't matter.

Sitting in his seat, Alkaid flipped through the information provided by Kong Fang about the powerhouses of the Red Star.

Compared to Dayu...

The Red Star had too many Martial Saints.

The gap between them was like that of civilizations from different worlds.

But then he thought of the military strength gap between the world's number one powerhouse and the top twenty countries of his previous life...

He closed the materials.

"Primordial Chaos Martial Saints, suspected to be three people: Stellar Sanctum Hall Master Thunder, Imperial Family member Jiang Bairren, and the other is Commander Jiang Bairren, who confronts Snow Dragon on Jade Capital Mountain."

As for Divine Intent Martial Saints...

A dozen or so.

One should know that more than 90% of the countries in the Middle East have top fighters who are only at the Martial Saint level.

If Divine Intent Martial Saints were likened to aircraft carrier fleets, other countries wouldn't have a single one, while the Red Star Empire already started with double digits.

"Very strong,"

Alkaid sincerely murmured.

Fortunately...

"I've become stronger."

After getting a sense of his opponents, Alkaid leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes to rest, and prepared for the upcoming action.

War is perilous.

No matter the situation, engaging in conflict could lead to a life or death outcome.

The real world is not a game.

It's not guaranteed that higher stats or strength will lead to victory.

Any accident could change the outcome.

And with it, bring the ease of life and death.

Excellent swimmers drown, skilled riders fall.

No matter how careful one is, it's never too much.

This was also why Alkaid, during his initial fights with demons, would always ambush rather than confront them head-on.

His intent was to strangle them in their cradles before they could transform and reveal their strongest form, even if it sometimes meant missing crucial clues.

In the words of Xia Wuyuan...

Be cautious and careful.

Keep oneself safe and sound.

"That's true, but when it's time to compete, I won't back down easily, and when it's time to counterattack, I won't hesitate... I just want to... ensure my own safety,"

Alkaid thought to himself.

"Ah, young man, by the look of you, you're heading to our Red Star Empire, aren't you?"

At this moment, a voice came from the side.

Alkaid glanced over.

A middle-aged woman dressed in gold and silver, who exuded a sense of wealth, sat in the seat next to him.

"Judging by your appearance, you come from a well-off family, able to afford a first-class seat, but the Red Star is different from Dayu; it is a true civilized country, a developed country, the center of the world...

I've heard that the housing prices in the capital have reached a hundred thousand Red Star Currency per square meter, which converted to your Dayu's currency is a million, enough to buy a house in your Dayu. My son-in-law, he has a flat over three hundred square meters there..."

The middle-aged woman's words were filled with a sense of superiority, seemingly eager to find someone to boast to.

But Alkaid did not respond and only looked at her.

Expressionless and silent.

After a moment...

The middle-aged woman's voice gradually faded.

Eventually, mumbling to herself with the air of someone too dignified to argue with a country bumpkin anymore, she spoke no more.

Alkaid also turned his gaze back and closed his eyes to rest.

The Red Star stretched over the southern and northern continents; from the Dayu capital to the Red Star, it took seven hours.

Resting along the way and adjusting his condition, Alkaid arrived smoothly at the Red Star Capital International Airport around five o'clock in the afternoon.

However...

What appeared before Alkaid was not any kind of magnificent, brightly lit scene.

The Red Star Capital's international airport...

One could see its grand past and the architecture was full of artistic style, but when it came to brightness and novelty, it could not match the Dayu capital's international airport.

This was because the airport had been established for more than fifty years, with buildings and equipment tending to be outdated.

In short, the Red Star Capital International Airport did not give him the feeling of entering an advanced civilization with a sci-fi ambiance and sense of shock.

It seemed more like an old man in his twilight years, exuding an aura of the sun setting in the west.

After getting off the plane, his headset transmitted a voice.

"Young master, the car to pick you up has arrived at the underground car park. Please exit through gate four... turn left after thirty meters..."

It was Lei Yun's voice.

Representing a Martial Saint was never just about the individual; their actions were always accompanied by a team.

Following the instructions, Alkaid quickly made his way to the spot Lei Yun mentioned, where a man from either Dayu Country or the Salvation Society was already waiting.

Alkaid got in the car.

The vehicle swiftly headed towards the Shangguan Family.

If we're going to resolve issues, might as well resolve them all together.

Estimating the time...

Arriving at the Shangguan Family at six, if fast, it could be over by half-past six, then proceed to the Red Star Imperial Palace...

"Hmm, if all goes well, I should be able to start heading back by ten,"

Alkaid murmured to himself.

Unfortunately...

```

When returning, I couldn't take a plane anymore.

Otherwise...

I feared that if I actually took a plane back, I might get shot down by a missile halfway through.

"Lord Alkaid... actually, you don't have to take such risks... with your talent, you could totally seek revenge for Chairman Ji once you achieve some accomplishments..."

At this moment, Zong Yan's voice came through the earpiece.

"Alright, just follow the orders to assist me. As for the rest... I have my own plans."

Alkaid interrupted Zong Yan.

Zong Yan immediately fell silent.

On the road...

He had tried to persuade him as well.

But as a top-tier existence in the Martial Arts World, Alkaid obviously had his own decisions. Once he was determined to do something, it was not something Zong Yan could reverse with just a few words.

Therefore...

The only thing he could do now was to get his logistics team fully operational, gathering all available information related to Red Star, utilizing all connections, searching for the whereabouts of Red Star's strong ones.

He strove to provide informational support at the very first instance when Alkaid needed any help.

...

Alkaid's plan was well-prepared.

Infiltrate the Shangguan Family at six, kill Shangguan Jinlong by six thirty, and make that troublemaker Shangguan Xiong shut up.

But...

The plan ran into problems right at the outset.

Traffic jam.

The traffic in the Red Star Capital was horribly bad, unspeakably so.

Especially when I was entering the city from the airport, it was just past five thirty, the peak hour of commuting, and I got stuck on the road for over two hours.

By the time I finally reached the foot of Star-plucking Mountain where the Red Star elites resided, it was already half past seven.

"It's too congested."

"People from all over the world pour into the Red Star Imperial Capital at all times, and even though the traffic in the Imperial Capital is constantly improving and expanding, it still can't keep up with the influx of people, so, indeed, the city center is very congested, which often lasts until nine or ten o'clock before it eases slightly."

The middle-aged man driving for him added.

Upon hearing this, Alkaid nodded, "Find a convenient place to wait for me."

After giving his instructions, he made use of the cover of night to put on his battle garment, then added an overcoat, a hat, and sunglasses for disguise.

Using the auxiliary system loaded on the "sunglasses," he quickly "saw" the defensive layout and the basic blueprint of the Shangguan Family.

This blueprint could only be used as a reference.

After Alkaid completed the perimeter infiltration, he observed briefly. When a guard was isolated, Alkaid appeared, his Divine Intent surging, and hypnotized this guard who was merely at the Martial Artist level in an instant.

"You have an urgent matter to report to your family head, and this message must be delivered to the family head in person."

Alkaid instilled this thought.

The guard, originally bewildered under hypnosis, seemed to suddenly wake up and quickly headed in the direction where the family head was.

Alkaid followed close behind.

Whenever he sensed that the guard patrols would create a blind spot that could potentially expose him, he'd hypnotize other guards again, causing the hypnotized guards to disrupt the normal ones, allowing him to infiltrate smoothly.

This was the terror of a Divine Intent Martial Saint!

In the eyes of a Divine Intent Martial Saint, normal defenses were essentially like a sieve.

Let alone the noble families like the Shangguan Family, even the heavily guarded military bases were a breeze for him to infiltrate.

Impossible to guard against.

And impossible to defend.

It was precisely for this reason that almost all of the high-ranking decision-makers in Red Star requested Martial Artists by their side, with accomplished Divine Refinement.

Divine Refinement accomplished, at the very least, would withstand the hypnosis of a Divine Intent Martial Saint.

Martial Path accomplished, ensured that upon encountering a lurking Divine Intent Martial Saint, one would have some room for resistance.

With the "cooperation" of the guards, Alkaid quickly arrived outside a villa-like three-story building.

The identity of this guard clearly wasn't sufficient.

Moreover, his rushed appearance had already drawn the attention of others and he was blocked by a few people who interrogated him strictly.

But...

It was enough.

With the guard's lead, I had at least reached the vicinity of the Shangguan noble family head Shangguan Jinlong's location.

Next...

The Perception Secret Technique was activated.

A simple Perception Secret Technique could only detect individuals with abnormal blood-qi within a few dozen meters.

However, as Alkaid grasped the Life Force Field, his understanding of "abnormal blood-qi" greatly improved, and the interaction between the two not only allowed him to search for demons but also for beings with vast blood-qi.

And a Martial Saint who had broken the human body's limits was obviously much higher than ordinary Martial Artists.

As he probed, a "Martial Saint's" aura quickly appeared in his perception.

"Found him."

Alkaid pulled down his mask.

After briefly determining the target's position, his figure suddenly leaped into the air, using the powerful burst of strength at the human limit to climb onto the second floor of the villa, and then... Your next read awaits at empire

"Bang!"

He smashed through a window to enter.

The sound of the shattered window immediately alerted countless people.

As they became vigilant, Alkaid, who had reached the second floor, burst forth with power under his feet, and like a cannonball fired from a cannon, he smashed through the doorway of the house.

Accompanied by flying wood chips, his figure appeared in the hallway, and amid a barrage of sharp cries, without any pause, he smashed through another door.

Behind this door...

There was a middle-aged man dressed casually, looking quite scholarly and aristocratic, who had already become alert and the first thing he did was take out the handgun from the desk drawer.

"Shangguan Jinlong."

Alkaid instantly confirmed his identity.

And in response to him...

Was the sound of Shangguan Jinlong pulling the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang!"
