Chapter 729 - 230: The Demon Is Lady Zi Yuan

Jin Cha glanced at Bingtang calmly sipping on her Hong Cha beside her.

It’s unlikely anyone would suspect that the biggest boss of the Ice Era Group is actually the leader of the Cyan Cloud Sect—though nominally it’s Lady Zi Yuan.

But from the perspective of the Disaster Strategy Bureau, Zi Yuan seems more like an enforcer.

Of course, that’s not to say Zi Yuan isn’t important; her strength gives weight to her every word.

Only Bingtang is able to negotiate, so to outsiders, the leader of the Cyan Cloud Sect appears to be Bingtang after all.

Their current location is in one of the towers within the rear tower complex.

The inside of the tower is all independent spaces, quite safe, and not long ago, the gray-white Magical Girls appeared.

Jin Cha had already dispatched people to relocate the other Magical Girls to safety.

Now the tower is full of the Headquarter’s Magical Girls.

"Are you sure there’s no problem?"

"As a warm-up before the Heart Image Trial, it’s quite decent," Bingtang said absentmindedly, "Don’t worry, with True Disciples around, there won’t be any danger."

"Hmm... I’m not really worried about that."

Jin Cha is obviously aware that there’s an insider within the Headquarter, and has been observing and guarding closely.

She didn’t expect them to make a move today.

Thinking the arrival of the Cyan Cloud Sect would make them wary, but instead, they became more rampant.

Though prepared thoroughly, at Bingtang’s request, some operations must run normally to avoid alerting snakes in the grass.

Moreover, Jin Cha didn’t expect issues with her permissions in the Headquarter; now the security system in the central tower is almost entirely disabled.

At first, Jin Cha was worried about any accidents.

But when that Magical Girl named Dandelion single-handedly rolled over a dozen gray-white Magical Girls into the sky, she had no worries left...

Not to mention that Cyan Flower suddenly appeared later.

Directly freezing a few gray-white Magical Girls pursuing Iris.

This was a perfect strike, both inside and out, against the Headquarter.

It became a mere performance, just like that...

"Will you kill them all?"

Jin Cha only asked casually.

Bingtang’s tea-drinking gesture paused slightly; she turned her head to look at Jin Cha, "Why do you ask that?"

Jin Cha maintained her elegance, mimicking Bingtang in stirring her milk coffee.

But in reality, her palms were already sweating.

"Because I heard that the Cyan Cloud Sect doesn’t usually hold back..."

Actually, it wasn’t just hearsay.

From Jin Cha’s own observations, the Cyan Cloud Sect basically goes for the kill on enemies...

"Hmm, I remember there are acquaintances of yours inside?" Bingtang tweaked her mirror.

They were watching the surveillance of different areas in the Headquarter, which was also Bingtang’s.

Thanks to the insider’s tampering with the central tower’s interference.

Otherwise, a large-scale magic like Bingtang’s overseeing the entire situation would be immediately detected and neutralized by the Headquarter.

But now, seemingly no one in the Headquarter noticed the faint misty Ice Crystals floating in the air.

"I think they got persuaded..."

Jin Cha attempted negotiation.

"Don’t worry, our Cyan Cloud Sect isn’t some terror organization," Bingtang said casually, "We wouldn’t kill those who pose no resistance."

Uh, from various collected data, it doesn’t seem to be the case...

Jin Cha thought about it, but ultimately didn’t say anything.

Bingtang then spoke lightly:

"By the way, are these Magical Girls of high level? Why could they shut down the central tower of the Headquarter? Aren’t you the highest-ranking Magical Girl in the Headquarter?"

On this mention, Jin Cha was slightly embarrassed, "Well, theoretically speaking, I am considered the highest-ranking Magical Girl in the Headquarter, but only as a Magical Girl."

She sighed, "The highest authority is in the Magic Realm, and the controller of the Magic Realm is the Hatcher..."

Bingtang tilted her head, "You mean, the Hatcher of the Magic Realm is attacking the Headquarter of the Disaster Strategy Bureau?"

"Not at all."

Jin Cha looked at the stormy Headquarter.

With only two True Inheritances in total, it seems if they were to make a move, the Headquarter would fall as well...

"Just like the Magical Girls within the Headquarter have different ideologies, the Hatchers aren’t all united either."

Bingtang rubbed her forehead in frustration, "Ah, there are factions too..."

Jin Cha shrugged, "Who knows, Hatchers possess intelligence, they might seem to be a collective consciousness, but when birthed from seeds, they don’t connect to the collective, and they have the ability to act independently from it, leading to a batch of Hatchers unwilling to connect with the collective and dissatisfied with the Hatcher group."

"How do you verify if the Hatchers aren’t deceiving you?"

"Hatchers don’t lie." Jin Cha looked at the other monitors again, "I can assure you that; I’ve tested them in many ways, and they truly don’t lie."

Bingtang nodded, without refuting.

For she, holding Siye Liuye, had tested accordingly with Hatchers, specifically Jiang Si’s once-close Hatcher.

Indeed, Hatchers don’t lie, in most scenarios, a newborn Hatcher knows nothing.

Though Hatchers can share information, there seems to be corresponding limitations in this aspect too.
