Chapter 1085: Chapter 619: Defense and Offense

The people from the TW Organization naturally couldn’t block Yang Genshuo’s men at the airport.

Having watched many TV dramas, they still had some counter-surveillance techniques.

Xiao Yan led them on a swift journey to another city and boarded a return flight.

Jiuhua Mountain.

"During this time, stay on the mountain and don’t wander around. I have plenty of food here, so don’t worry."

"Tian Zhe, think of a reason to tell the others."

"All ten of you should go practice diligently, let me have some peace..."

Having assigned tasks to Tian Zhe and his disciples, Yang Genshuo went to his workspace.

He shut himself in.

And began summarizing and reflecting...

This operation was definitely a failure for them.

"The target was not achieved, and we were even exposed..."

"Now the enemy is hidden, while I’m in the open, putting me at a considerable disadvantage..."

"But it wasn’t all for nothing. At least I know that the real behind-the-scenes of the TW Organization is a group of people, not just one person, and that Lin Bai..."

Lin Bai’s observation was meticulous, exploiting their carelessness and noticing someone... he was still a public figure.

A world-class tycoon.

"They are indeed the most powerful people in the world... No wonder the TW Organization has such immense financial power and acts with impunity."

"But... once I get hold of your list, heh~"

"If you want to play with me, come on, let’s see who outplays whom."

Yang Genshuo didn’t act rashly, as he was almost exposed, and their people could come to trouble him at any time.

Or even cause trouble to his company.

Right now, the most important thing is... defense.

He must first secure his people and his assets before taking the offensive.

Otherwise, if he’s out there for too long without finding that person... and his backyard catches fire, he’ll be in a bind.

Even if the top tycoon identified by Lin Bai, acquiring his itinerary... would require some time.

Yang Genshuo believes, if the opponent really is a founder of the TW Organization, there would be numerous counter-surveillance measures, and he cannot act hastily.

Now that they have all escaped from the United States, the other side might be quite nervous, making a move now... would be unlikely to have any effect.

"Might as well pretend I haven’t discovered anything to lull them into a false sense of security... Once I’ve set up my defenses and secured the rear, then hit them with a blitz!"

Jiuhua Mountain is relatively safe, with various mechanisms and arrays Yang Genshuo and his team had set up long ago.

But those were arranged with his past perspective and abilities, preventing some ill-intentioned people from spying is still possible, but it’s not strong enough.

After all, he previously only thought of preventing annoying internet celebrities and elderly walking clubs from disturbing his life.

The mechanisms mostly focused on warnings and surveillance, and the arrays were harmless illusion arrays and specifically defensive formations, the idea being to turn people around a bit and then gently push them away.

But now he is facing... malefactors.

The kind of agents who might deploy various aggressive means!

Even if they use a drone to carry a bomb for a suicide attack on him, Yang Genshuo wouldn’t be surprised at all.

Of course, his Second Grade Defensive Array can withstand such attacks.

But... the Second Grade Array can only cover his estate, not the vast Jiuhua Mountain, and its defensive strength is limited, at best fending off attacks of the Qi Refinement Realm level, like... a rifle sweep.

But if faced with a high-caliber sniper rifle...

Yang Genshuo’s Second Grade Array really can’t stop it.

This was something Yang Shi tested back in the day.

A Barrett rifle could directly punch a hole through the Second Grade Array!

Outdated defensive methods can no longer meet the growing security needs.

"Now that I’ve reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, possessing stronger spiritual power and control, it’s time to set up my Third Grade Array..."

The Third Grade Array — [Rock Fortress Formation].

The most outstanding Earth Element formation in terms of defense, capable of constructing a thick and reliable array according to the terrain.

On Jiuhua Mountain, it’s just right to use this.

He dug a large hole beneath the estate, inside which is buried a small Micro Spirit Vein, the source of spiritual energy for his entire estate.

Set up the Third Grade Array, link it with the spirit vein, and you have an inexhaustible source of spiritual energy to use.

"Theoretically speaking... unless a military force comes to attack me, long-range assassinations can basically be defended against."

The Foundation Establishment Great Array still has quite considerable defensive strength.

Yang Genshuo focuses on [Mechanical Techniques], and arrays are also one of his required courses.

Having now achieved the Foundation Establishment Stage, setting up a Third Grade Array is only natural.

"The array can be set up in a day, not too difficult, but..."

Yang Genshuo scanned the estate with his Divine Sense. Now it was filled with people, even the very spacious estate was crowded, with some even living in tents temporarily set up on the lawn.

Most of them are people from Cheng Bo and Liang Xuetong’s labs, these researchers are also Yang Genshuo’s valuable assets.

"The array can protect Jiuhua Mountain, but having so many people staying on the mountain isn’t an ideal situation... How to ensure their safety?"

These people have signed contracts with Yang Genshuo, so there’s no worry they would betray him, but if they were captured by the TW Organization, then Yang Genshuo wouldn’t be able to protect his people, would he?

Yang Genshuo pondered back and forth, but couldn’t think of a good way to protect everyone, given the number of people, even sending out all ten of his disciples wouldn’t suffice.

"Easy to be a thief, hard to prevent a thief..."

"How should the next steps of work proceed... Liang Xuetong’s lab’s Spiritual Power Wave weapon is at a critical juncture; if it can be developed, it could truly change the landscape."

This thing, whether for Yang Genshuo or the Yang Family, would be very useful.

The future prospects are bright, brighter than the laser weapon.

Suddenly, as Yang Genshuo glanced out the window, taking in the deep mountain scenery... an idea flashed through his mind.

"Since we can’t go out, why don’t we just work on Jiuhua Mountain?"

He recalled the numerous large bases of the TW Organization.

They are truly vast, with seven or eight levels underground, each floor a huge space accommodating thousands of people for work and rest without any congestion.

Truly impressive.

"If they can do it, why can’t I?"

"Since the outside is temporarily unsafe, I’ll create a haven here to accommodate my people."

With this change in mindset, Yang Genshuo’s mind became more agile again.

"For ordinary people, opening mountains and building houses might be a massive project, but for me... it’s no different than playing Minecraft, the Immortal Cultivation World’s [Spirit Building Technique] has many ways to achieve things quickly, and cultivators can casually create a cave dwelling."

"I also have many of the [Standard Spirit Construction Blocks] from previous offerings, using these to build houses... my disciples can do it too."

Just need to put a large number of [Standard Spirit Construction Blocks] into their storage rings, point to where they’re supposed to be placed.

With their skills, a little guidance is all they need to build houses on their own.

The only problem is the craft of [Spirit Building Technique], although a low-end means of livelihood for bottom-tier loose cultivators, it still requires some skill level, which involves understanding the flow of spiritual energy and the arrangement of the Five Elements.
