With its own assistance, Xiaocao's abilities improved rapidly. "Mingjin" was even able to find Chiyou's hoof on its own, absorb the original witch power to evolve and improve, and almost swallowed Xiaocao and itself.
Now, a fourth ancient being, "Morning Mist," has appeared, and its abilities are still unknown. But just by looking at the terrifying plague it caused after appearing in Yanji, it's clear that it's definitely not the kind of creature like "Earth Mother" who just knows how to absorb energy from the earth and cultivate honestly. Perhaps even I, Xiaocao, and Elder Yi Potian wouldn't be able to deal with it.
"It's 'Morning Mist,' there's no mistake! According to your scientific system, that thing is the ancestor of bacteria and viruses. I don't know how far it has evolved to now, but my tentacles were blocked in a third-floor apartment in a residential complex. The entire apartment was surrounded by a layer of energy-infused mycelium, preventing the tentacles from penetrating. Luckily, I didn't use force, otherwise I might have alerted it."
Xiao Cao's tone was anxious, and the speed at which she flew with Lin Yao and Ge Ping'an slowed down considerably.
The third floor? Same direction! That must be Ge Ping'an's house!
Lin Yao quickly made a judgment, "Little Grass, stop and ask the Grand Elder to invite people to help."

Lin Yao quickly explained the enemy's situation to Elder Yi Potian, emphasizing that the enemy was an extremely powerful being.
According to Ge Ping'an's description, the alluring young man was exceptionally skilled, but he offered little value. Therefore, Lin Yao abandoned Ge Ping'an, had Xiao Cao knock him unconscious, and then threw him into a secluded corner to avoid him getting in the way.
Lin Yao's judgment and warning made Elder Yi Potian nervous, and he lost confidence that he and Lin Yao could capture the person on their own.
"I immediately contacted the elders of the Pei, Sun, and Hong families, and asked them to send their Heavenly-level experts to surround the area, as well as Heavenly-level experts from the military."
Grand Elder Yi Potian completely trusted Lin Yao. Since the enemy was so troublesome, the best approach was to concentrate Heavenly-level experts to encircle and annihilate them.
The Yi family was already aware that the elite forces of powerful families across the country were gathered around the perimeter of Yanji City, and Lin Yao was also aware of this, which is why he made this suggestion. Yi Chen arranged for other Yi family members to observe Min Hong's communication equipment from outside the city and report it to the Yi family headquarters.
Taking out his phone, Yi Potian quickly contacted the commander-in-chief who was on guard duty in Yanji City. He then contacted Pei Tianzong, who was on guard duty on the outer perimeter. It was already known to the elder Yi Potian that the aristocratic families were currently participating in the siege of those who had fled from Yanji City and that Pei Tianzong was the leader of the operation.
Although the enemy's exact identity is unknown, Elder Yi Potian guarantees, with the Yi family's reputation, that the enemy can only be taken down with the help of all the Heavenly-level experts. Moreover, this enemy is the culprit behind the current epidemic in Yanji City. Taking him down will resolve the plague and any future dangers. Even if the enemy has powerful backers, we can still trace the source and uncover some clues. National security hinges on this.
The long fifteen-minute wait caused the already hot-tempered elder to destroy everything in sight: trash cans, flower beds, railings, paving stones on the sidewalk. Except for the lampposts and important public facilities that he couldn't bear to destroy, everything within sight was reduced to dust.
Three top-tier military experts also arrived at the outer perimeter of the security zone. In order to kill the Yi family members brought by Yi Potian, this operation mobilized almost all of the country's high-end forces, and even the laser weapon under research was mobilized.
Through consultation and reporting, the military, under ZY's instructions, showed an unprecedentedly tough stance, disagreeing with the entry of the Pei, Sun, and Hong family's top-level experts into the city to assist in apprehending the murderer. They were worried that this was a diversionary tactic employed by the Yi family in their final desperate period. Although the Yi family had a high reputation, in the face of life and death, the country could not afford the consequences of the virus being carried out of Yanji City, and no leader could use their authority to issue an order to agree.
"Sir, they disagree."
Elder Yi Potian, his voice low, reported the results to Lin Yao, his face grim. This situation indicated that the nation was determined to nip any danger in the bud. The fate of the entire Yi family and all the citizens of Yanji City rested in Lin Yao's hands. However, the current situation was far from optimistic. Lin Yao had not yet found a way to mass-produce the drug, and yet an enemy surpassing the Heavenly Realm had appeared. How could Yi Potian not be worried and fearful in such a dire situation?
"We'll go ourselves; we must stop that Mr. Liu!"
Lin Yao gritted his teeth and made a decision. While waiting, the fragmented memories that Xiao Cao was regaining gave him some information. This information was extremely serious.
Those who possess "Morning Mist," or those who are parasitized or even possessed by "Morning Mist," can easily create this plague. If this person cannot be eliminated this time, the entire country and even all of humanity will live under continuous terror and pressure. Perhaps the entire Earth will become a dead star, and perhaps only plants and lower organisms will exist in the end.
"Okay! We'll go ourselves!"
Lin Yao ignited the heroic spirit of Elder Yi Potian. He was no longer afraid and exuded great pressure. The more than one hundred troops who had gathered at the gate in the distance were hit as if by a heavy hammer and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.
"Sir, please wait a moment. The Yi family members are on their way. Yi Dao, Yi An, Yi Gong, and Yi Fei are also here. Although Pei Tianzong cannot cooperate this time, the Yi family members from the outskirts are allowed to enter the city. We will wait for them to arrive."
Ah~~~
Lin Yao was surprised and immediately thought of his parents, "Do my parents know about this?"
“They know.” Yi Potian’s tone suddenly became very low. “The master’s parents have arrived at the restricted area outside the city, but Pei Tianzong has guaranteed to take care of their safety.”
...
Fifteen minutes later, several cars sped up to Lin Yao's side. Inside were all the Yi family members at the top-level Earth Realm or above. Although Yi Fei held a military post, the military made an exception and allowed him to return to defend his family at this critical moment concerning the survival of his family.
"gentlemen."
"gentlemen……"
...
"gentlemen."
Everyone looked at Lin Yao. At this time, the person in charge had changed. The Grand Elder Yi Potian had long since relinquished power, and all members of the Yi family were now subject to Lin Yao's orders.
"Let's go, let's go over there!"
Lin Yao's face was terribly gloomy. His parents had been implicated, and if the person parasitized by "Morning Mist" escaped this time, the threat would directly fall on them in the future, which was a consequence that Lin Yao could not bear.
Thinking of this, Lin Yao disregarded the soldiers observing him through binoculars in the distance and instantly changed his facial appearance. Fortunately, this shocking change did not attract everyone's attention, because the gathering of all the Yi family members blocked most of the observation. The remaining people were carefully observing the identity of the newly joined Yi family member, hoping to obtain more valuable clues.
...
"Little grass, get to work!"
"Alright! Yaoyao, use your 'human core power' right now. Strengthen your whole body. It will be difficult for me to take care of you once we start fighting."
Xiao Cao lacked her usual joy and excitement when a fight was about to break out; her tone was extremely heavy. This being, "Morning Mist," a being of the same ancient origin as her, and possessing the power of destruction, was her most powerful enemy since her reawakening. The sheer power displayed by the mycelium adorning the walls of Ge Ping'an's house was enough to tell that its strength had reached an extremely high level. She absolutely could not afford to be careless.
"good."
