Chapter 1428: Chapter 1428: Lei Youting

"Is it really enough this way?" Mei Simiao looked at Pei Yan, who was sitting in the chair casually assigning tasks, hesitated for a moment before deciding to ask to prevent him from being too complacent.

Pei Yan closed his eyes and said casually, "Yes! That’s enough! In a moment, let the team members proficient in long-range attacks assist Jiang Feiyang in launching an attack on the fortress. If the enemy can’t withstand it and comes out, we’ll handle it. Hehehe! Just now Jiang Feiyang was talking about how I made a name for myself again at the White Deer Institute battle, but that reputation hasn’t spread too far, has it? At least the Vlad Clan doesn’t know! If they did, would they still dare gather people together to hide in the castle waiting for us to attack? Honestly, if they deployed and engaged us in a melee, it would be more troublesome for me to minimize casualties."

Mei Simiao nodded after listening; that made sense. He was aware of Jiang Feiyang’s abilities, as he was one of the few individuals in the archives categorized as an S-level special focus even before reaching the level of a Grade 9 superpower user, only outside of the Child of Origin. Even in terms of personal combat capability, Liang Qian, who far exceeded him, was only classified as A+. The reason is that Jiang Feiyang’s abilities, when fully unleashed, are so suitable for large-scale combat that the targets cowering in the castle seem like perfect sitting ducks to him.

After the order was given, Jiang Feiyang selected a whole section of dense forest outside the castle with one look. Clearing this area in front of many superpower users was no difficult task. Soon, having cleared a large area, Jiang Feiyang pulled out one cherished toy box after another from his space ring.

Except for the two members maintaining their identity on the magic plane, the other plane entrants, seeing this would be the main battleground for the attack, gathered around with interest to watch the investigation hall members busily preparing for battle. When they saw Jiang Feiyang pull out exquisite, lifelike small toys from the box, there was no reaction until Jiang Feiyang activated his ability, enlarging all these models to actual size, which shocked Liu Xuanji and Jin He Xuan, who had participated in the White Deer Institute battle.

"Brother Jin, does this resemble the alchemical equipment Pei Yan used that day?" Liu Xuanji asked, stunned by the rows of cannons, remembering the scene vividly.

"A bit similar! It should be the same kind of thing, but this one’s size is much larger than Pei Yan’s! I wonder about its power." Jin He Xuan recalled that day’s situation and compared the two, discovering that the cannon summoned by Jiang Feiyang was much larger than the one summoned by Pei Yan.

"Hey! Look! They’re clearing more space, even demolishing nearby buildings! What is this thing?" Liu Xuanji widened his eyes, watching Jiang Feiyang constantly conjure strange, large pieces of equipment unlike anything he’d seen before. Terrified, he turned to Lin Daozi, muttering quietly, "These must be products of the technological realm Mo Sect spoke of as foundational. Daozi! We can’t figure them out just by watching here! I reckon there won’t be traps. Quickly, call Feng Tianhe to come in. Even if we can’t understand what these are, when they start their offensive, let Feng Tianhe have a look so he can perhaps use this in future artifact refining."

"Senior’s words are indeed wise; I’ll be back in a moment!" Lin Daozi agreed wholeheartedly with Liu Xuanji’s words, nodded, turned around, and left the independent space.

With everyone watching, Jiang Feiyang, the scene’s focal point, busied himself for almost half an hour before going to Pei Yan, wiping sweat from his forehead, and said excitedly, "I’m all set! When do we start?"

Pei Yan glanced at the battlefield Jiang Feiyang had prepared in the distance, nodded, gently stroked his space ring, and took out a necklace. This necklace was originally crafted by the Demon God for his wife and later borrowed by Pei Yan to protect Lei Youting’s soul. Today, he would fulfill the promise he made to the young girl!

After removing the necklace, Pei Yan condensed a mechanical avatar to host the young girl’s soul. Then, after communicating with the soul inside the necklace, a wisp of remnant soul drifted from it, attaching to the mechanical avatar. As its soul gradually integrated with the machine, a segment of electronic sound emitted from the mechanical avatar: "This, this, this..."

"This is the Vlad family’s location, the day you wished to live to see—the Vlad family’s downfall. Today, I’m fulfilling that promise." Pei Yan stood up from his chair, walked next to the mechanical avatar, and guided its shoulder to look toward the distant fortress.

The mechanical body, occupied by Lei Youting, looked dazedly at everything before her. Until Pei Yan pointed her towards those crouched individuals, her emotions finally fluctuated. Lei Youting didn’t recognize who Radu was, but she certainly knew Moira, who had stolen her body and altered its form—the former Little Vlad. Lei Youting would recognize her even if she turned to ashes!

"Uh, uh!" For a long time unable to communicate with the outside world due to slumber, Lei Youting, emotionally overwhelmed, couldn’t say a complete sentence. She pointed her finger at Moira, moving to rush over.

Pei Yan entirely understood her feelings; she was just a child whose family life was once happy but was targeted by Song Mingyuan after a spatial barrier rift appeared at home by chance. After suffering the first misfortune, the form-dispersed Little Vlad chose her as a vessel, leaving her with a broken family.

If the same situation happened to him, Pei Yan might act more crazily than she. But now Lei Youting’s condition doesn’t allow her emotions to escalate too much. Possessed by Little Vlad, after a long soul attrition, Lei Youting’s soul body could only survive outdoors for half a day without the Divine Artifact Necklace’s protection, and excessive emotional intensity would drastically shorten that time.

Presently, Ye Ruozai, possessing soul abilities, used his powers to soothe Lei Youting’s soul and gave her the ability to communicate with everyone using her original voice. Seeing Lei Youting gradually calm down emotionally, Pei Yan then reopened his mouth, saying, "Do you feel better? If you think you’re ready, we’ll begin the operation to encircle the Vlad family."

Having finally awaited the day she dreamed of, Lei Youting knew she couldn’t collapse at this final moment. She wanted to witness the downfall of the enemy’s family for her deceased relatives. She mustered her strength, trying to calm her excitement, and from within, she uttered three cold, emotionless words: "Begin now!"

Lei Youting’s words marked the opening of the Vlad Clan’s downfall. Pei Yan nodded at Jiang Feiyang, who received the order and activated his power to initiate the attack.
