Chapter 1352: It's Too Late

At that moment, in Lin Lingfeng's city, a group of genetic hunters were taking part in a secret discussion.

"This is our last opportunity to steal the airship. I heard from Lin Lingfeng that the alien was the one who asked for a red banner to be hung from the watchtower."

"What does it mean?"

"When Zhang Lie returns to the fourth realm, Lin Lingfeng will hang up a red banner from the watchtower to inform her that it's time to return. Once the airship returns to Zhang Lie's control, he'll never come back. That's why this is our last chance."

The hunters were clearly plotting to steal Zhang Lie's airship.

They too had realized that the airship returned to the city roughly once every ten days. The hunters cried out, "Zhang Lie's far too selfish. The airship clearly has important technology that exists within the dimensional world and massive research value besides. It's more than sufficient to change the dimensional world completely. If we can figure out that technology, we'd be able to build one of our own! This can't remain anyone's private property—it has to be shared publicly like the limit-breaking potions!"

Another hunter gritted his teeth. "If not for Zhang Lie, our city wouldn't have suffered such tremendous losses. This is fair recompense."

This group of hunters had clearly forgotten that, if not for Zhang Lie, their city would have been overrun by a beast stampede far before the arrival of the sea of clouds.

Another hunter asked sternly, "Have we confirmed whether or not Zhang Lie is still in the city?"

Everyone held their breath for a moment.

They had witnessed Zhang Lie's fight against the sea of clouds, and he possessed frightening might.

Another hunter replied, "According to our investigation, he left the gathering point after asking Lin Lingfeng about the airship. There's likely something important that he's doing, and he hasn't returned since."

The other hunters exhaled.

The first hunter warned, "If Zhang Lie returns midway through our plan, we'll drop it immediately. No one wants to deal with a monster like him." For better or worse, Zhang Lie didn't return to the gathering point immediately to await Li Qianlin's return. He wandered around the fourth realm for five days in an attempt to find disaster-grade lifeforms nearby, but he didn't see a single one.

Although there were many disaster-grade lifeforms in the fourth realm, they didn't exist in such great quantities as to be found just wherever. He was still missing forty disaster gene fragments, which was somewhat regretful. magic

The five days passed quickly. When it was time for Li Qianlin to return, Zhang Lie secretly headed back to Lin Lingfeng's city, not wanting to cause a commotion. The last time he had returned, he felt as though the other hunters were eyeing him strangely, a mix of fear and respect.

Zhang Lie intended to return secretly to the city, meet up with Li Qianlin, and then meet up with the other members of Team Zenith.

It was straightforward for Zhang Lie to sneak into the city

through the use of his disaster-grade mistmeld clam soulshard.

Using it, he would control any hunter who saw him as he walked cloaked through the city.

He found that there weren't many hunters roaming throughout the streets.
