"Su Yuan, let me introduce the task information to you now."

As Su Yuan admired the scenery of the Celestial Law World, Captain Zhang spoke up.

Su Yuan immediately snapped back to attention, listening carefully.

Captain Zhang pointed to a continent resembling a plum blossom, of a scale reaching that of a Great World level, and said:

"The cultivator whose identity you need to assume hails from this Great World called Cold Plum World, known as a famous civilian genius."

"His name is Su Youlin, coincidentally sharing the same surname as you."

"He’s twenty years old this year, and has already reached the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer in his cultivation. This achievement is a once-in-a-century talent in the Cold Plum World."

"After layers of brutal competition, he emerged from tens of thousands of competitors, gaining a chance to ascend to the Upper Realm."

"Three hours from now, he will ascend along the Immortal Ascension Passage, which will be our best opportunity to intercept him."

After listening to this basic information, Su Yuan nodded in understanding.

But immediately, he frowned at a word in Captain Zhang’s speech:

"Intercept?"

"That’s right, intercept."

Captain Zhang nodded calmly:

"Before the Spiritual Energy Revival, the Cold Plum World was in a constant state of war, in an agrarian civilization period. Even after the revival, civilization didn’t advance, and like the Ancient Cultivation Realm, they adhered to the jungle law of survival of the fittest."

"In such an environment, for a civilian genius to make a name, it’s nothing more than the four words: kill, burn, loot, and plunder."

"This so-called Su Youlin, a civilian genius, is also a rising star of the Demon Dao in the secular sense, having killed over a hundred people, which is simply outrageous."

"Such a person is intolerable to the Blue Star Federation, and we have the authority to dispose of him ourselves."

Su Yuan suddenly understood:

"Having killed over a hundred people, he’s certainly a ruthless demon, but what about yesterday?"

Captain Zhang: "... What about yesterday?"

Su Yuan hesitantly asked:

"Were those hundreds of lives not Su Youlin’s result of today’s actions?"

Captain Zhang: "..."

This well-versed Nascent Soul True Monarch slightly widened his eyes, unable to believe he was hearing this question from a young person raised in a peaceful world.

The Observation Law Ship has been executing missions outside for many years; the last time Captain Zhang returned to Blue Star was ten years ago.

Due to the distance from home, the Observation Law Ship couldn’t connect to the Spiritual Net on homeland territory and thus would be unaware of various Blue Star Federation news, at most hearing some important information when contacting headquarters.

For example, a Golden Core Peak cultivator’s Nascent Soul Formation, or which hard-to-conquer Great World had been subdued by which True Monarch.

Obviously, a student’s rise to fame didn’t fall into the category of important information.

Thus, the first time Captain Zhang heard the name Su Yuan was last month when Su Yuan was determined to be the executor of the Mai Gou Plan.

He was very satisfied with the brilliant resume of Su Yuan which came from the headquarters.

But he didn’t know how Su Yuan created that resume.

He always thought Su Yuan was a model student of Federation values.

The questions of such a good student were naturally beyond Captain Zhang’s expectations.

However, in the end, he chalked up Su Yuan’s odd question to a young person’s wild imagination.

It’s not as if this kid really carried out such a feat of slaughtering a hundred a day... he doesn’t have the opportunity for that, either.

Unaware of the Corpse Mountain within Su Yuan’s Tribulation Moon Pearl, Captain Zhang thought so.

And once he understood Su Youlin’s information, Su Yuan realized why his teacher felt that replacing the other’s identity was a task more suitable for him rather than Xuan Haoran. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Demon replacing demon, it indeed made the task easier to handle.

"Captain Zhang, how exactly should we intercept him? Do you need my help?"

Su Yuan earnestly asked.

Captain Zhang shook his head with a smile:

"Intercepting is not something a single cultivator can accomplish; it must rely on the power of the Observation Law Ship."

He pointed to the gateway connecting the two worlds outside:

"Do you see that passage from the Cold Plum World leading to the Celestial Law Main World?"

"This passage is extremely sturdy; even if I go all out it’s hard to break through."

"Only by leveraging the Observation Law Ship’s camouflage effect to simulate the same properties as the passage can we temporarily infiltrate it, and we can hold up to five minutes at most."

"Under these conditions, our interception plan must be simple and decisive."

"When Su Youlin passes through the passage, we’ll drive the Observation Law Ship into the passage swiftly, and capture him aboard."

"Then you’ll have merely five minutes to uncover Su Youlin’s life history, learn his habits, discover his goals upon ascending to the Main World, and then enter the passage, following Su Youlin’s original path to ascend, completely replacing him."

"Once the planned time is exceeded, the Observation Law Ship will have to exit the passage, and entering again would require a week’s power accumulation, thereby missing Su Youlin’s ascension period and causing mission failure."

Captain Zhang’s tone became extremely serious as he spoke to the latter part:

"Su Yuan, your burden in the interception plan is by no means light, prepare well, and as for the other challenges, we’ll clear them for you."

Su Yuan said nothing more, solemnly nodding his head.

Three hours was not a long time; the Observation Law Ship began its actions promptly, quietly heading towards the passage connecting the Cold Plum World.

Though the Cold Plum World was visible to the naked eye, the journey proved exhausting, and it took an hour and a half for the Observation Law Ship to reach the vicinity of the passage.

Upon approaching the passage, Su Yuan realized that this so-called passage was essentially a hollow sky pillar, hundreds of miles in diameter, magnificent beyond compare.
