Chapter 155: Demon Clan Invasion
```
Hearing Wu Min'er's suggestion, Xiao Buli considered for a moment before saying, "I think it's best not to act rashly for the time being, to avoid startling the snake out of the grass, which wouldn't be good. Once Li Jian initiates his move, it will certainly attract the company's attention, and then it will be more effective for you to make your move."
Wu Min'er sighed, "Alright, but honestly, what exactly is hidden in that lab that has you so nervous?"
Xiao Buli said, "If my guess is correct, it's very likely equipment related to the creation of characters."
Zhang Yaoyang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "You mean—"
"That's right, my meaning is they might be using our blood to create our characters in the game; that device is probably key to understanding the truth behind this game."
Zhang Yaoyang nodded, "If that's the case, we really do have to be careful."
Wu Min'er said, "Well, well, I'll take action when the time comes, and after the success, we'll meet at the agreed place."
"And what about me? What's my task?" Zhang Yaoyang suddenly asked.
"Your task is simple, launch a surprise attack on the Qilin Group. After I have lured the Qilin Group into the planned state, you lead everyone in launching a surprise attack. Remember, our targets are the game client and the three individuals, Dugu Han, Qin Shimoon, and Liu Zijian. Anyone else is a secondary target."
"Surprise attack on the Qilin Group, but how exactly are we going to do it? You should make it clear now." Xiao Buli nodded and relayed the plan he had already devised. Upon hearing it, Zhang Yaoyang's eyes lit up, "So that's your plan! Honestly, I'm baffled how you even thought of it."
Xiao Buli shrugged, "I can only say each has their own strengths."
"Then let's enter the waiting stage. As soon as Li Jian starts his move, we follow suit. Now everything depends on that guy." The three of them dispersed like this.
————————————
Li Jian carefully placed the Energy Core at the base of the Teleportation Portal and sealed it with a block of obsidian, feeling a surge of excitement as he looked upon the masterpiece he had spent six days creating.
This thrill was heartfelt, as if he truly wished for the Demon Clan to come to this world.
"Is this the right thing to do?" he would occasionally question himself, and the answer was always the same—"You're doing the right thing," a voice inside him would always say.
Perhaps deep down, Li Jian still retained some semblance of humanity, but at least for now, he was no different from the Demon Clan.
As the Energy Core was activated! The World Spirit Stones around the arch-shaped Teleportation Portal began to emit a white light. They shone and merged into one, eventually forming a vortex-like entrance. After a moment, a fully-armed member of the Demon Clan poked his head out tentatively, saw Li Jian, and quickly ducked back in.
Moments later, a group of Demon Clan members surged out from the portal, led by the Soul Reaver who had demonized him in the first place.
"I've succeeded! I did it!" the Soul Reaver said excitedly.
"It's our success." Li Jian corrected him.
"That's right, it's our success," the Soul Reaver agreed, looking around with curious eyes, "So this is the Heaven Beyond Heaven world, it doesn't look all that special, kind of messy."
Li Jian explained patiently, "This is just a junk-filled warehouse, the real world is up above."
"No wonder it feels so claustrophobic; I hate being underground." The Soul Reaver said, his face suddenly showing a tense expression, "Everyone be prepared, she's coming out."
The dozens of Demon Clan soldiers who had come with him swiftly lined up on either side of the portal's entrance. From the white light of the Teleportation Portal, a graceful female figure slowly emerged.
This was clearly a female member of the Demon Clan. Compared to the other fully-armed and hideous-looking Demon Clan, she looked particularly special. She wore no armor, her skin smooth as silk, exposed to the air, with only some delicate scales barely covering the vital parts of her body. She seemed like a mix between a mermaid and Medusa, infused with fantasy and a demonic charm.
Aside from her peculiar appearance, even by human aesthetic standards, she was a stunningly beautiful woman.
"Welcome to Heaven Beyond Heaven, my lady," the Soul Reaver saluted the female Demon Clan member with great respect.
Li Jian, a bit surprised, asked in a lowered voice, "Who is she?"

"The Illusory Demon Clan is skilled in illusion and beguiling the hearts of people, but their numbers have become exceedingly rare," the Soul Reaver said, without offering a deeper explanation.
"Then let's begin the invasion. Where is our army? Don't tell me these are all the soldiers we have?" Li Jian looked around at the Demon Clan soldiers with some confusion. Although there were quite a few, it seemed there weren't even a hundred of them. Occupying a building with so few seemed difficult, let alone conquering the world.
"Patience, my friend. This teleportation portal was hastily constructed and is just a temporary one. It simply cannot support the passage of a large army. We must first seize this building and gather more resources before we can further transport troops. Now tell me, do you have any suggestions?"
Although the plan sounded impractical, due to the inherent obedience of the demonized creatures to the Demon Clan, Li Jian suppressed his doubts and nodded. "Human defenses are very strong, so before you launch your attack, I will carry out an internal sabotage to weaken their fighting capabilities as much as possible. During this time, try to transport as many soldiers over as you can.
When I send you the message, start the operation immediately."
As he spoke, Li Jian handed him a cell phone and briefly explained how to use it.
The Soul Reaver was quick to understand the workings of the cell phone and expressed surprise at human ingenuity. "Indeed, worthy of the people from Heaven Beyond Heaven."
As he watched Li Jian exit the warehouse door, his expression turned grave as he looked towards the Illusory Demon Clan woman.
"I'm counting on you for everything," he said to the Illusory Demon Clan woman with great solemnity.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best," she said in a voice full of lazy seduction, but the Soul Reaver was already accustomed to that tone. He ordered the Demon Clan soldiers to clear the area around the teleportation portal of debris, while he himself walked back toward the portal.
Inside the White Tiger Group's server room, it was still bustling with activity. Although most of the elite were trapped in Thousand Pines Town, there were still over a dozen members who could move freely. These men were all Wang Yifan's subordinates.
So, with nothing else to do, Wang Yifan organized everybody to start playing dungeons, which were originally designed for the Azure Dragon Group to improve their strength. Now they were benefiting from it instead.
"Haha, awesome! This sword is perfect for me!" Wang Yifan excitedly added a deep blue weapon he had just looted from a BOSS to his inventory. Even though he was the leader of the White Tiger Group, he only had slightly better equipment than the average member of the Azure Dragon Group due to the constant need to hand over gear.
Now that he had the opportunity, he certainly wasn't going to let it pass and pocketed everything he could use.
"Boss, I can use that sword too. Shouldn't we roll for it?" a member beside him couldn't help but complain, which immediately ignited Wang Yifan's fury.
"Damn it, it's just a damn sword. The next one will be your turn. What's with all your whining?"
With that rebuke, the man immediately fell silent. After all, Wang Yifan was the group leader, and it was not wise to cause too much friction. Might couldn't defy right, after all.
Just as Wang Yifan was gearing up to tackle the next BOSS, there was a sudden crash—the door to the White Tiger Group's server room burst open. Wang Yifan glanced towards the door and saw Li Jian, which annoyed him somewhat, "Easy, easy! You're going to break the door. Weren't you babysitting the newbies? What are you doing back here?"

"I'm here to kill someone," Li Jian said calmly, a sinister smile creeping across his lips, surprising the rest of the White Tiger Group. Li Jian was usually not like this; he seemed to be the kind of person who was always generous and straightforward. This didn't seem like a joke he would make.
"Kill someone?" Wang Yifan paused, looking somewhat amused and annoyed at Li Jian, then his gaze lingered on Li Jian's empty hands for a moment, "With what?"
Without any warning, Li Jian reached out into the void and snatched out of thin air. A double-bladed axe with a bright edge and emitting black Demonic Flame suddenly appeared in the air and was firmly grasped by him. With a loud bang, the blade sank deep into the marble floor, instantly silencing everyone.
Pointing at the gleaming axe blade, Li Jian stated matter-of-factly, "With this."
A hush fell over the room, interrupted only by the occasional sound of creatures from the computer speakers. Wang Yifan, looking at Li Jian's increasingly cold face, slowly realized that the man was not joking.
FUCK! He cursed inwardly and suddenly hurled the chair he was sitting on towards Li Jian.
In the next instant, a piercing white light flashed by. Before Wang Yifan could react, the gleaming axe had already executed a cross slash, cutting him and the chair into quarters.
Wang Yifan's severed head flew out, the look of terror on his face frozen in time as it fell to the ground with several rolls, leaving a bloody trail behind.
"What a waste, someone like him became a group leader. This company indeed has no reason to exist," Li Jian said indifferently, paying no heed to the headless corpse on the ground. His gaze had already moved to the others, and the look in his eyes was chilling.
"Let's fight him to the end!" someone shouted hysterically. Suddenly, everyone snapped out of shock, grabbing anything they could find to hurl at Li Jian. He did not dodge the incoming objects, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
