Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 346 Intelligence Meeting
The two of them walked down the stairs. Before they even entered the living room, Yan Yu immediately announced loudly:
"Everyone, pay attention! Our Lingyun has finally reached the perfect stage of Qi Refining and can begin practicing the art of fasting!"

"Where's the applause?"

In the living room, on the sofa, the girls all turned their heads in surprise.

Lin Ning's hands were quicker than her brain, and she subconsciously started clapping when she heard the words.

Zhao Yuanzhen and Xie Ruoxi were clueless and clapped along with Lin Ning... After clapping a few times, Lin Ning immediately reacted and stopped clapping. The two of them were still clapping ritually and saying:
"Lingyun is great."

"I'm really happy for Sister Lingyun."

Fortunately, Chen Lingyun also knew that these two were brainless sisters, and she did not get angry or annoyed because of this. Instead, she said openly and with a smile on her face:
"Keeping everyone waiting."

"We need to have a celebration banquet," Yan Yu continued sarcastically, "We need to celebrate our marrow cleansing. We need a grand celebration."

"Support!" Zhao Yuanzhen shouted immediately.

"But we just had dinner." Xie Ruoxi said worriedly, touching her belly.

"Pour your spiritual energy into your stomach and it will be digested quickly." Zhao Yuanzhen immediately proposed a solution. "I've been fasting for a long time, but I can't eat whenever I want. Then wouldn't this fasting be in vain?"

"I'm not interested. You guys go and eat." Su Yunjin said.

She had the best relationship with Chen Lingyun, so of course she would not agree to something that looked like a celebration but was actually mental torture.

"I don't have an appetite either." Lin Ning also quickly chose a side.

The three girls formed a small gang to fight against the captain's tyranny!
Zhao Yuanzhen was on Yan Yu's side, so the crucial vote fell on Xie Ruoxi.

"I..." Xie Ruoxi looked embarrassed, but she was ecstatic in her heart.

I never thought I would have such a meaningful moment!

Although it seems interesting to join Lingyun in dealing with the captain, one cannot betray one's true feelings.

Sorry, I already have someone I like.

"I support the captain and Sister Zhao." She said seriously, and then was hugged by Zhao Yuanzhen, showing the deep sisterly love.

The votes then became three to three, and Yan Yu took advantage of the situation and suggested:

"Since some people want to do it and some don't, let's simplify it. How about going out for a walk and a meal tonight?"

"I agree!" Zhao Yuanzhen said immediately.

"If we go shopping, we will be recognized by the public, right?" Su Yunjin said worriedly.

"It would be best to go to a place where there is no one." Thinking of the scene in school where she was pursued by student fans and her way was blocked by various people, Lin Ning was still frightened.

"How about this," Xie Ruoxi suggested, "We can bring some snacks and go camping on the rooftop of the villa to watch the stars?"

This was a novel idea. After all, apart from Xie Ruoxi and Zhao Yuanzhen, the other four people present were typical city kids. Surrounded by light pollution at night, they couldn't see many stars at all.

Of course, the light pollution in the suburbs of Jinling Prefecture is more serious than other places... But after everyone advanced to the marrow cleansing stage, their bones became stronger and their eyesight improved greatly, so there are not many problems in this regard.

The only problem is, where are the snacks?

When everyone turned their gazes over, Zhao Yuanzhen said seriously:
"I'd love to share this with you, but I honestly don't have any left in stock."

"It's okay." Xie Ruoxi had expected this and said, "I hid a few bags of shrimp crackers in my room..."

"Eight packets," Zhao Yuanzhen interrupted, "and they're all gone." "How is that possible!" Xie Ruoxi screamed, "I wanted to save a few packets for this weekend!"

"Last time, when I was looking for something in the study, I saw eight packages of unwanted puffed food," Zhao Yuanzhen said righteously. "To avoid wasting food, I ate them."

"How could unwanted food be hidden deep in the cupboard?" Xie Ruoxi tried to accuse her of theft.

"It's because it was hidden behind a pile of books that I thought it was forgotten." Zhao Yuanzhen tried to defend himself with sweet words.

"Your defense is dismissed. Sister Zhao is guilty. I punish you by buying eight bags of shrimp crackers for Xie Ruoxi. You must also buy the snacks you bought this time. This is immediate." Yan Yu interrupted the two people's boring defense and pronounced the verdict directly. "Supervisor Xie Ruoxi!"

"Master Yan is so wise!" Xie Ruoxi burst into tears of joy.

"Hmph." Zhao Yuanzhen was unconvinced and snorted, "I bought a whole bunch at once and ate them all! I only left a dozen or so for Ruoxi!"

"She even knew to leave a dozen packets for Ruoxi. They have such a good relationship." Lin Ning quietly complained to Yun Jin and Ling Yun.

So the two girls went out to buy some snacks, while the rest of the group moved chairs to the roof.

While the Zhenhai team was observing the night sky, the Longxiong team was attending the latest intelligence meeting at the Privy Council’s Military Intelligence Department.

After listening to the work report, the leaders all looked serious and the team members were all silent. Only Liu Longtao looked at the materials for a long time and suddenly asked:

"In other words, if the worst happens, in this battle in the Secret Realm of the Palace, we will be facing the entire Western world, plus the Yin Yang and Lihua Courts?"

"Yes," said the comrade presiding over the meeting, "It has been confirmed that the other party will bring in a large number of European transcendents to participate in this competition."

"Let me ask a question," Ye Jun raised his hand. "What is the relationship between the Super Hero League and the Strategic Homeland Security Agency?"

"On the surface, the Super Hero Alliance focuses on commercial interests, while the Division focuses on national defense," the other party replied. "In reality, the Division is backed by the local establishment, while the Super Hero Alliance is transnational and cross-regional, backed by the elite capitalists of the entire Western world."

"If the Superhero Alliance takes the lead, referring to the previous Three Islands Treasure Ship Secret Realm, then the goal is to maximize profits: no matter how fierce the fighting on the battlefield, they can still collude off the battlefield and negotiate anything."

"But this time, it's confirmed that the National Land Strategy Bureau will be in the lead, so we predict the intensity of the competition will increase significantly. This is because, for them, curbing the growth of the Lu Kingdom cultivators is just as important as gaining sufficient benefits for themselves."

"The rewards for leaving the palace are distributed according to the order in which they entered the palace, right? How true is this information?" Ye Jun continued to ask, "Under this situation, can they still maintain their original alliance?"

"The intelligence has been confirmed," the comrade presiding over the meeting replied. "As for their alliance, I predict they'll be prepared for both scenarios. As long as the Lu cultivators stand in their way, the alliance will naturally continue, and everyone will share a common hatred for the enemy. But if the fruits of victory are within reach, and they want to eat the meat first and drink the soup later, then I'm afraid no one will care about the alliance anymore."

"Because the opposing forces this time are too mixed," Liu Longtao said thoughtfully. "The Yin-Yang Academy and the Lihua Academy are at odds with each other, and the Mitch Transcendents from the National Land Security Bureau and the foreign Transcendents brought in from Europe by the Superhero Alliance may not be on the same page."

"Let's take an extreme scenario," the other party said, "assuming we don't block the entrance to the palace. Then, before the palace gates open, the multinational alliance will naturally collapse without a fight, and everyone will kill each other to get in first."

"But the price is that the treasures of the palace will definitely be lost." Ye Jun said.

"That's right. The mechanism for distributing treasures in the palace cannot be tampered with. Moreover, after taking the treasure, one can choose to teleport out of the secret realm. This way, even if one wants to kill people to steal the treasure, the operation is not very convenient."

"How do you know the secret realm's mechanisms so well?" Liu Longtao asked, frowning. "I don't mean to question your intelligence work, but I need you to be responsible for its authenticity."

"We are responsible for authenticity." The other party said firmly.

Seeing his determination, Liu Longtao stopped dwelling on the issue. After a long pause, he spoke in a resounding voice:

"Not a single one of the palace's magical treasures can be lost. This is the bottom line!"

"In other words," Ye Jun echoed, "We must block the entrance to the palace first and prevent any extraordinary people from entering."

"Kill them all if they come." Liu Longtao sneered, "Kill them until they are terrified and retreat!"
