Ling Li nodded, her expression resolute. "Otako is confident. They've planned every detail. The key is timing and precision. They will create a diversion to draw the guards, then take them out swiftly."

El Padre and El Capitan exchanged a glance, their earlier anger replaced by a steely determination. "We need to trust Otako," El Padre said, his voice firm. "If anyone can pull this off, it's them."

"Yes, once the guards are neutralized, we will move in and eliminate the remaining threats and immediately entrap the doctors in their offices and labs. We can't let them go and die; we need to know their purpose. This is your aim." Ling Li explained.

"What about you?" El Padre asked, his gaze fixed on Ling Li.

"I will give Otako a hand," Ling Li replied with a determined look. "Shi Min, you have to lead them and find the microchips. While we wipe out the soldiers, find that Doctor by the lake and see what he is up to."

Shi Min nodded, understanding the gravity of the task. "I understand, Mom. When do we do it?"

"Tomorrow. Let's get some sleep," Ling Li said, her voice firm but comforting.

Early the next day, Shi Min and his group were perched atop the trees, their eyes scanning the horizon. The morning air was crisp, filled with the sounds of nature waking up. They waited in tense anticipation for Otako's arrival, knowing that the success of their mission depended on precise timing.

Moments later, a stirring in the distance caught their attention. Otako appeared, flanked by his fifteen entourage. They moved with the grace and precision of a flock of birds in the sky, their Samurai masks and clothes giving them an otherworldly presence. The sight of the fifteen 'exalt realm' cultivators left Shi Min's group in awe.

Otako's group landed in the middle of the campground, facing the main office. The security guards, caught off guard, shouted in panic and began firing at Otako's group. The alarm blared, echoing through the camp and adding to the chaos.

With a swift, fluid motion, Otako unsheathed his sword and swung it towards the incoming bullets. The bullets deflected, darting back towards the guards, who fell one by one, their bodies hitting the ground before they even realized they had been shot.

Otako then pointed a finger toward Shi Min's group, signaling their cue to move.

"Let's go!" Shi Min shouted, and his team sprang into action, moving with precision and speed toward the main office. Meanwhile, Goldie and Pharsa headed towards the lake to find the elusive Doctor.

The doctors were taken aback by the sudden appearance of Shi Min's group. Panic set in, and several doctors, realizing the inevitability of capture, quickly swallowed pills to commit suicide.

"Capture them fast! They are committing suicide! Dammit!" El Padre yelled, urgency coloring his voice.

Shi Min and his team worked quickly, managing to capture more than half of the doctors and tie them up. Among the captives was Dr. Gao, the most important target.

Back at the Campground, Otako's group was holding their ground as truckloads of soldiers arrived. From the window, Shi Min's group could see the soldiers disembarking, their movements coordinated and swift. As per Otako's order, they stayed inside, waiting for their next move.

The soldiers, wasting no time, simultaneously jumped down from the trucks and charged towards the intruders, ready to eliminate the threat.

Shi Min was astonished by the sheer number of soldiers pouring into the camp, and it had to be at least five thousand. 'Are they here for a war? What the heck!' Shi Min thought, his mind racing with the implications.

Looking out the window, El Padre and El Capitan shared Shi Min's shock. "They are truly serious and are here to eradicate whoever disrupts them. Look at these soldiers! They are twice the number of the whole camp!" El Padre spat out angrily, his voice quivering with indignation.

"This implies that the project they are doing is extremely important," Shi Min responded, his face tense with realization.

Outside, Otako stood resolute, his sword held high toward the sky. With a swift, decisive motion, he swung his sword, and a bolt of lightning erupted from the blade, striking the soldiers. Almost immediately, a majority of them fell to the ground, lifeless. Otako then swung his sword a second time, unleashing another bolt of lightning that finished off the remaining soldiers. In just two strikes, he had decimated the entire force.

The sight of Otako's incredible power sent shivers down the spines of those watching. The fifteen other martial artists stood still, their stance impassive, not needing to lift a finger.

Shi Min couldn't help but feel a mix of awe and slight envy. With his own cultivation level, he knew he possessed the ability to harness the earth's energy, lightning, thunder, water, air, and light. Yet, he couldn't perform such a feat with the same ease and efficiency as Otako. Shi Min let out a light laugh, shaking his head at the sheer prowess displayed before him.

With the task completed, Otako and his group ascended, leaving the bodies of the fallen soldiers sprawled across the ground.

"Mushu, check on Pharsa," Shi Min commanded, his tone urgent yet calm.

While Mushu moved to follow Shi Min's order, Shi Min and his companions delved into the lab and office, searching through papers and files for any critical information they could uncover. The air was thick with the smell of paper and ink mixed with the tension of their mission.

Meanwhile, Mushu and Pharsa's subordinates arrived from different directions. Leading them was another martial artist, Wusheng, who had reached the sixth level of cultivation. His presence commanded respect and immediate attention.

"Grand Master, we have arrived," Wusheng announced, bowing slightly.

"Wusheng, I'm glad you have arrived. The water reservoir is contaminated. Get samples and find out what they are. Ask someone to take care of the dead bodies while the others guard the area," Shi Min instructed, his voice authoritative.

"Yes, Grand Master," Wusheng replied. He quickly divided his team. Three hundred and eighty of them were placed under his command—one hundred from Mushu's elite team, eighty from Pharsa's, and the remainder from his own. Dane also assigned several men to help the soldiers who were experiencing seizures. With his orders clear, he and two others proceeded to the water reservoir.
