Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal
Chapter 42 The Goal

Lei Yun was quick to act.

In less than two hours, batch after batch of audio data had been delivered.

The top officials of Tian Nan Province often attend various events.

Some event information is unsearchable by others, but it is no problem for the professionals in the Su Family's External Affairs Hall.

Among these audio files were included the three biggest heads of Tian Nan Province and several deputy officials.

Additionally, some key departments were also within the search scope of Lei Yun and her team.

However, there were more heads of these important departments, and their audio data would take more time to collect. For now, Alkaid had to start searching from the top down.

Governor, Senior Prosecutor, Speaker of the Council, Vice Governor, Admiral…

After just a moment, Alkaid stopped.

He reviewed the data Lei Yun had sent over.

"Vice Governor Zhao Sheng."

He quickly opened a video.

A man appeared who was in his sixties but still exuded vitality.

Among the three vice governors, he marshalled the Cultural and Tourism Administration, the Transportation Administration, and the Propaganda Administration.

Though the popular Security and Finance Administrations were not under his control, his responsibility for overseeing culture, transport, and propaganda made him quite significant in Tian Nan Province.

Key to this was his backing from the Zhao Family, one of the top noble families in Tian Nan.

Governor Wei Kongming, in seeking to completely suppress the local noble families led by the Yue Family, had significantly favored their opposing forces over the years, with the Zhao Family being the biggest beneficiary.

"Culture, transport, propaganda."

Alkaid looked over the scope of this vice governor…

That's everyone.

He repeatedly listened to more audio and video of Zhao Sheng and verified it against the voice in his memory, almost confirming his identification.

But to be safe, he listened to the rest of the people as well.

Among them, he noted a similar voice.

Innovative Technologies Administration Director.

After marking down these two voices that most closely matched his target, he immediately summoned Lei Yun.

"I need their detailed schedules. I don't need to meet them, just to see them will suffice," Alkaid said.

Lei Yun, looking at the two names even though not knowing his plan, swiftly relayed the orders.

Lei Yun was not the only one working under Alkaid in the External Affairs Hall.

Some of them were tasked specifically with information retrieval.

Shortly, she had the answer: "Governor Zhao went to the neighboring province's Hao Yue Plantation for an inspection today, but Director Zhou will attend the Robotics Innovation Competition at Tian Nan University tomorrow."

"Hao Yue Plantation? How long will that take?" Alkaid asked.

"He will return on the 2nd."

"That's the day after tomorrow," Alkaid remarked.

He could wait two days.

"Arrange for someone at Tian Nan University. I'll go and take a look."

"Yes," Lei Yun respectfully agreed.

Having learned that Alkaid had become a grandmaster at just nineteen, she complied unconditionally with any of his orders.

Lei Yun left.

Alkaid also did not delay any further time, spending an hour refining his physique, then returned to his bedroom.

Afterward, he meditated on the Great Sun Suppressing God Diagram to nourish his spirit.

Only when his mental energy was significantly depleted did he have to sleep.

Whether refining the body or meditating, he dared not push himself to the limit.

If he faced danger without being in peak condition, it would undoubtedly put him in a highly disadvantageous situation.

Even now, living under the well-secured care of the Su Family in Villa No. 49 with Lei Yun and others outside, was no exception.

Because…

For a grandmaster like himself, such security measures were virtually useless.

By imagining himself in another's position,

If he could disregard such security, so could his enemies.

…

Early the next morning,

Alkaid, refreshed and energized, rose early.

In the villa, a woman in her early thirties had prepared breakfast, waiting for him to eat.

She was the nanny arranged by the Su Family.

After breakfast, Leng Jun arrived at Villa No. 49 with a few people.

"Come in and sit down,"

Alkaid called out, "Have you had breakfast?"

"We have,"

Leng Jun led the people into the villa while introducing, "These are the elite of the elites in our External Affairs Hall."

Alkaid nodded.

Besides Lei Yun, there were four others.

All of them had a background in martial arts.

One of them, a man in his thirties, had a sturdy build and strong muscles and bones, clearly a martial master skilled in Muscle-Tendon Strengthening.

"The major families that can afford a grandmaster domestically usually mimic the noble families' Martial Saints by creating a logistical team tailored for them.

Our Su Family is no exception, and such a team typically includes intelligence reconnaissance, electronic support, equipment maintenance, fire support, and medical logistics," explained Leng Jun, pointing to Lei Yun: "You've already met Lei Yun, our team's intelligence reconnaissance, Bai Ya, electronic support."

A man with glasses, fair skin, and a scholarly appearance stepped forward: "Alkaid, young master."

"Su Yizhou, equipment maintenance."

Shorter than 1.7 meters, slightly thin Su Yizhou gave Alkaid a slight bow.

"Pang Long, fire support."

This one, the only one among them over 1.9 meters tall with well-defined muscles and bones, was clearly a martial master.

"In front of Young Master Alkaid, I wouldn't dare mention firepower support, I can only play a supporting role on the side."

He appeared quite humble, having understood the true strength of Alkaid from Lei Yun's description.

Any martial artist would show ample respect to someone who had achieved the status of Grandmaster through Internal Cultivation of the viscera.

"Pang Long is not only adept at the Martial Path but also quite knowledgeable about many modern military weapons. If Young Master Alkaid needs it, he can follow Pang Long and get used to how to counter modern weapons next."

Leng Jun kindly reminded him.

Alkaid nodded.

Countering modern weapons...

Indeed, it was a compulsory lesson for any Grandmaster, including Martial Saints.

After all, even as strong as a Martial Saint, one couldn't directly withstand modern weapons.

"Lastly, Ai Li, medical support logistics."

Leng Jun pointed to a woman who looked refreshing as a spring breeze.

"Young Master Alkaid, hello, if you have any needs regarding medical care or diet, please feel free to instruct me."

The woman said with a smile.

She wasn't the type of woman who would stun with her looks, and she seemed to be in her thirties, but her attire and every move she made gave off a very comfortable feeling, instinctively inspiring trust in her.

Alkaid was intrigued, "Have you mastered body language, psychological guidance, and hypnosis?"

Ai Li was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Young Master Alkaid has good Eyesight. Besides these, visual psychology, linguistics, and social sciences are also within my field of study."

Alkaid nodded.

In the Fifth Rank Divine Intent Realm, hypnosis and Manipulation aren't merely reliant on Divine Intent alone; body language and emotional manipulation are all inclusive.

For instance, if one wants to intimidate with Divine Intent, it's best to combine it with exaggerated body movements, wide swings in attack methods, and a thunderous scolding.

The more dynamic the change from stillness to motion, the better.

If one could also exert enough psychological pressure on the opponent through language beforehand, the effect could be significantly enhanced.

In other words, the clash between two Divine Intent Realm martial masters often begins the moment they learn each other's names.

His fame, his battle achievements, his accomplishments, all amplify his Divine Intent, establishing a combat advantage even before the two meet.

"Let's exchange thoughts sometime."

Alkaid said.

"I would be delighted."

Ai Li smiled slightly.

"You all get along well, as the team expands in the future, you will be the responsible persons for your respective matters."

Leng Jun said, and then added, "Of course, if your abilities are not up to par and you fail to catch Young Master Alkaid's eye, resulting in your elimination, you can't blame anyone else."

A few people nodded solemnly.

A nineteen-year-old Grandmaster!

He has a great chance of achieving Martial Saint status in the future!

Being part of a Martial Saint's logistics team is a lifelong dream for people like them.

To achieve this, they needed to put in more than their best effort to satisfy Young Master Alkaid.

"Young Master Alkaid, let's set up a group chat first to facilitate communication," Lei Yun said.

"A group chat..."

Alkaid looked slightly amused.

Every industry does indeed progress with the times.

However, he still scanned a code and joined the already-established small group of six that Lei Yun had set up.

The reason there were six people was that Leng Jun was included.

Alkaid could directly contact Su Chiming, but Lei Yun and the others couldn't.

Leng Jun, as the Head of External Affairs Hall, handled some materials and funding applications, so they had to go through him.

"Here's my diet for the next period, thank you for taking care of it."

Alkaid sent the Body Refining prescription he was using to Ai Li.

Afterward, glancing at Pang Long and Leng Jun, he briefly assessed and slightly modified the prescription: "You might want to try this simplified version of the prescription, it should work well."

Leng Jun and Pang Long both brightened up.

This was guidance from a Grandmaster.

Pang Long even moved a bit closer: "Captain, would you want to check it more thoroughly?"

"People's physiques vary, I can see your Body Refining progress, but it's hard to determine the specifics of someone's physique. So, use this prescription for now, and based on your progress, I will adjust it in time," Alkaid said with a smile.

"Thanks, Captain," Pang Long said cheerfully.

For the next while, Pang Long, Bai Ya, Su Yizhou, and others started exchanging daily matters with him.

During which, Bai Ya even modified his phone a bit.

An hour later, Bai Ya and others stayed behind while Alkaid and Lei Yun set off again, heading for Tian Nan University.

However...

Shortly after they left, Lei Yun sensed something and said, "Someone is following us."

With his sharp eyesight, Alkaid quickly recognized the identity of the follower.

Zhang Rufeng.

"Shake him off," Alkaid said.

Last night, Zhang Ya made several phone calls.

But considering her personality...

He also wasn't keen on getting involved with the Zhang Family.

"Understood, hold tight," Lei Yun switched gears: "I'm going to speed up."

After saying this, he stepped on the accelerator, and the car's speed surged.

With skilled driving and slightly better-than-average reactions as a martial artist, this high-performance luxury car weaved through traffic, and before long, they had left Zhang Rufeng far behind without a trace.

Ten minutes later.

"Screech!"

A sound of brakes transmitted.

The vehicle slowed down and drove into Tian Nan University.
