Chapter 5125 — No Chance

He was anxious now. Ever since learning the purpose of this Primordial Research Group, he had known that this was a matter of tremendous consequence for both the Primordial Alliance and the mundane world. And judging by the secrecy and thoroughness of Central Headquarters' methods, the odds of final success were extremely high. Once a large number of Primordial Alliance experts were brought under control, it would be a tremendous blow not only to the Primordial Alliance but inevitably to the mundane world as well—and more concretely, it would sooner or later drag Wei Zhao into it.
So he had to get this intelligence to Wei Zhao as quickly as possible, no matter what. The problem was that he was now trapped at Central Headquarters, unable to move about freely, much less contact the outside world. How was he to send word?
As the most important and most central project of the secular Central Headquarters at present, the entire headquarters had been in a frenzy of activity from the very moment Jing Taiyang was brought back. Lan Xiaoru led Doctor Glasses and the rest into the fray in person. This was the first step of the Primordial Plan, and it could not be allowed to fail.
At the same time, the hunter team under Hongniang was not idle either. They were analyzing intelligence and searching for the next target. If they could find a second early-Foundation expert wandering alone like Jing Taiyang, and plan it as thoroughly as this time, the odds of their failing were negligible.
Of course, if the other party's strength exceeded the early Foundation stage, then they would have to wait until Jing Taiyang was fully under control and act together. With their strength at the Heaven Rank great perfection, capturing an early-Foundation expert was already the limit; against anyone stronger, they would have little confidence.
Two days later, the target was locked on, and the hunter team struck again. Target: early Foundation stage. Success.
Three days later, the hunter team struck once more—this time bringing along Jing Taiyang, who had been thoroughly brainwashed by Central Headquarters. Target: early Foundation stage. Success.
Another three days passed, and the hunter team, in concert with Jing Taiyang and two other successfully brainwashed early-Foundation experts, launched another strike. Target: early-Foundation peak. Success.
In less than ten days altogether, four Primordial Alliance experts had fallen into the clutches of Central Headquarters—one at the early-Foundation peak, three at the early Foundation stage. Such astonishing efficiency left Dafeng-ge gaping in shock. At this rate, it would not be long before every Primordial Alliance expert scattered across the mundane world and operating alone would be like turtles in a jar.
What shocked Dafeng-ge even more was that once these Foundation-stage experts fell under Central Headquarters' control, their strength could rise rapidly within mere days. He did not yet know that this technology had long been mature at the Center—the secular side was merely employing the rudimentary techniques from Cloud Tier Island.
From the very beginning, what had limited the strength of the secular Central Headquarters' experts was never technology but experimental specimens. As long as the specimens' foundations and potential were strong enough, their technology and resources could produce a great host of Foundation great-perfection experts in an extremely short time. And now that the Primordial Plan had been set in motion, with these Foundation-stage experts of the Primordial Alliance in hand, the raising of strength and cultivation was simply a matter of course.
