Chapter 3176: Analysis Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio "I think so," Puris nodded and continued, "Consul, the sensing prisms for soul bodies have been created. If anyone tries to approach the Seven Realms Martial Capital headquarters again using a soul body ritual, we will definitely trigger the alarm and detect them. I have already set traps within the Seven Realms Martial Capital. If that person dares to come again, they will never return." "Mm, this person is very likely connected to the vampires. Assign more personnel to assist you. Be extremely cautious. Under no circumstances can he escape again!" "Yes!" "Additionally, regarding the target Fang Heng, the previous squads sent to kill him have failed and lost contact. We suspect they have been eliminated. The Noel Clan has already issued a formal warning: if we insist on taking action against Fang Heng, it may trigger a conflict between us and the Noel Clan. Do we still want to pursue him further?" The spawns’ council members felt the matter was tricky. Being fellow overlord-level forces, the spawns were cautious of the Noel Clan. Currently, their fortunes were not favorable, and facing the Noel Clan, the spawns lacked the elite strength to handle so many troubles at once. It was all the fault of their foolish subordinates. Sending people had led to Fang Heng countering them; otherwise, they wouldn’t be in such a troublesome situation now. The consul’s anger surged. "Everyone here, have you forgotten the honor of the spawns? A mere human—does he deserve discussion at the highest council?" Everyone fell silent. "I’ll say this one last time: Fang Heng is connected to Ymir’s Black Fog World. I want him dead, no matter the cost." "Yes!" After this reprimand, the spawns’ high-level members quickly reached a unanimous decision. Whether eliminating Fang Heng would offend the Noel Clan was no longer a concern for them. The Noel Clan had always prioritized the bigger picture. Would they really fall out with the spawns over a single martial artist? Even if they did, so what? Suddenly, the council hall’s remote psychic link flickered. "Report, Consul! News from the Noel Clan and the Kate Clan." The consul nodded, "Speak." "They inquired about the Core Flame Vein. The next martial artist for the Helium experiment has already been selected, and the human trials should have started two days ago..." "The Evil Clan also reported that they found a small reserve of Core Flame Vein and can provide it for our use, but they proposed some auxiliary conditions." Anger flashed in the consul’s eyes. The Evil Clan! He had long suspected they were coveting the Helium research. Sure enough, once trouble arose, the Evil Clan appeared to take advantage and make demands. The consul said coldly, "Go meet them." ... One day later, Fang Heng opened his eyes in the basement. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 After working tirelessly through the night, his occult experience points had reached 80%. Fang Heng opened his eyes, sensed something, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He then left the basement and walked upstairs to the living room. "Mr. Fang Heng." In the living room, Wu Yi and seven other members of the Evil Clan stood at the entrance waiting. "Sorry to keep you waiting. Many things have happened recently, and our clan needed time to discuss the specifics of cooperating with you." Fang Heng gestured for them to sit and then took a seat on the sofa opposite Wu Yi, shifting into a more comfortable posture, and asked, "It seems the Evil Clan has preliminary ideas. Tell me, what are the terms of cooperation?" "We’ve decided to proceed on two fronts. One is to conduct private Helium research. The other is to leverage Core Flame Vein ore as a bargaining chip to gain influence in the research, thereby acquiring more Helium-related information." "Sounds reasonable," Fang Heng said, shrugging lightly. "When can we start? What do you need me to do?" "That’s why we’re here. If you don’t mind, we can start now. We want to invite you to the Evil Clan research room to use vampire power in our current stage of Helium research." "Now? You’re ready already?" "We can start at any time. Once you’re ready, we can take you to the Evil Clan research headquarters immediately." "No preparation needed. Let’s go." "Good." Wu Yi nodded slightly at the accompanying Evil Clan members. The seven accompanying members stepped to the center of the living room, knelt on one knee, forming a circle, and placed their hands on the ground simultaneously. "Chi!!" A dark teleportation magic array immediately appeared at the center. Wu Yi gestured, "Please." Fang Heng glanced at the magic array and stepped into it. Whoosh! The seven Evil Clan members channeled their mental strength into the magic array at the same time. As the array spun rapidly, Fang Heng’s figure disappeared from its center. The vortexes on the foreheads of the Evil Clan members slowly rotated, and they were absorbed and vanished in place. ... The other end of the teleportation magic array connected to a ship. Ten minutes later, the ship activated a warp passage. "The Evil Clan research room is located on a hidden, small planet. All personnel entering and exiting are strictly registered and checked. Security measures are top-level." During the warp journey, Wu Yi briefly explained to Fang Heng, "Our current research progress is slow. Most information comes from cooperative research with the spawns." Fang Heng asked, "So I can obtain more God’s Blood at the research institute?" "Some, but probably not enough to satisfy you. We are negotiating with the spawns to acquire more Helium-related information and additional raw materials of God’s Blood." After three hours, the ship arrived at the target research planet, docking at the nearest spaceport. The Evil Clan research institute. Inside the large laboratory, researchers worked systematically on experiments and development. "The research on God’s Blood Stone is led and managed by the Evil Clan. The spawns provide raw materials and assistance. Once production stabilizes, the spawns hand over the production tasks to the Evil Clan." "The spawns provide the crucial God’s Blood fusion creatures. The Kate Clan gathers the remaining materials. The resulting God’s Blood Stone is divided 70:20:10 — seventy percent to the spawns, twenty percent to us." Wu Yi led Fang Heng into the main laboratory. The lab supervisor, an elder of the Evil Clan, followed them, providing an overview of the laboratory. On the second floor, high-tier God beasts’ blood was being mixed and separated through large machinery. Fang Heng looked up at an alloy metal box on one of the machines.
