The Taoist Priest of the Supernatural World

Chapter 475 Negotiation and Preparation

Watching Song Feng's speed, which seemed to shrink the distance between people, and looking at his shimmering steps and his eyes, which were obscured by his dark hood but captivating, one could see the world around him.

For a moment, Ye Wuxia felt a sense of shock, and a hint of solemnity appeared in her eyes.

He never expected that the person who would come to negotiate with him now would be Taiyi, the most mysterious of the group. What shocked him even more was that Taiyi's words and actions showed that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

This kind of seemingly effortless technique of shrinking the distance to an inch is something even Ye Wuxia in her current state cannot replicate.

Although she could also leap nearly ten zhang, that was only a movement she made by exerting all her strength, and she couldn't do it as effortlessly as Song Feng.

Previously, she felt as if she were wearing a suit of armor and possessed such a sharp alloy knife, and with such abilities, she could be ranked first among the many divine journeys.

Looking back now, he had underestimated his own combat strength. Although the armor was designed to suit her physical condition and could withstand many fatal injuries, she did feel a bit more uncertain about dealing with Taiyi.

The current ability to shrink the distance to an inch is likely just a drop in the ocean compared to what he has shown. If the two sides were to actually fight, she felt that she might very well become a sitting duck.

This time we're in trouble.

Meanwhile, the other directors and deputy directors of the investigation bureau, who were watching the scene inside the teahouse through the surveillance cameras, also couldn't help but look somewhat solemn.

All that could be heard was the deputy director surnamed Ye looking at the two people under the surveillance camera, and speaking with a solemn expression:
"You've monitored Wuxia's physical abilities and even used special materials from the lab to make that suit for him. What do you think his chances of winning would be if he were to fight the other side?"

Upon hearing the deputy director's words, the expert from the investigation bureau glanced at the two people present with alarm, then hesitated before speaking:
"I originally thought that Commissioner Ye's physical fitness had long surpassed that of ordinary people, but compared to this newly appeared mysterious person, it is far inferior."

"Commissioner Ye's physical fitness has improved to a level that is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but compared to this mysterious person, he is still somewhat lacking."

At this point, the chief scientist paused, then glanced at everyone present and said:
"If I were to judge them by my own standards, these two seem to be from completely different styles. One looks like a modern athlete, while the other is an ancient martial arts master or a chivalrous knight-errant."

"Where is the feeling of muscles surging and moving with the speed and agility of this technique, which is like shrinking the distance between two places and making a flashing figure? Where is the feeling of muscles surging and moving with the powerful and sweeping movements of Commissioner Ye?"

"If you suddenly told me that one of them could fly through the air and disappear into the ground, and walk on water silently, then I would believe it..."

Towards the end, the scientist, who had initially wanted to praise Song Feng again, lowered his voice and then stopped speaking altogether.

After all, if they let him continue talking, the bureau chiefs would probably start thinking about how to eat him alive.

Even without speaking, the scientist's eyes held a keen interest, and his gaze towards Song Feng was filled with fervent desire.

His worldview was shattered after meeting Ye Wuxia, and now that he has met someone even more amazing than Ye Wuxia, he naturally wants to take a closer look and study him more.

Although Ye Wuxia was very strong, with a physical body far surpassing that of ordinary people, his leap of several meters still revealed a very obvious exertion of force, making him look like an athlete whose strength had increased significantly.

But the mysterious man's methods were far more impressive.

He appeared to be making no move, but in an instant he could appear more than ten or twenty meters away. Even in martial arts novels, such a character would definitely be a big boss.

They originally estimated that if Commissioner Ye were to fight someone else, even if he was no match for them in strength, he would definitely be able to suppress them and even capture them alive.

After all, armored opponents can defeat unarmored opponents, especially with high-tech armor that is both shockproof and injury-proof. If the opponent is caught off guard, it's a sure thing.

But seeing this scene now, everyone hesitated. After all, if it was just about strength, Ye Wuxia, who was wearing armor, was not afraid of the opponent at all. In fact, the opponent's strength might only scratch the armor.

But now, seeing the somewhat unusual art style, these people are really afraid that this mysterious person will directly use an unscientific technique of attacking from a distance, bypassing the armor and causing internal injuries to Ye Wuxia.

This world is so amazing. If what Commissioner Ye said about the spiritual revival is true, then can he also do it?

As he thought about the end, a flicker of fervor flashed in the chief scientist's eyes.

Sitting in the teahouse.

Looking at the mysterious Taiyi in front of him, clad in a hood, Ye Wuxia paused slightly before speaking to Song Feng:
"My purpose in coming here is very simple: to cooperate with you and explore together what lies hidden in the mist of those mountains and forests."

"Since you've arrived here so quickly, it means you've already seen what's going on in the mountains and forests. What do you all think?"

As she said this, Ye Wuxia gave Taiyi a deep look, feeling a sense that everything was both reasonable and unexpected.

He knew those people might not cooperate with him so easily, but he didn't expect them to actually push Taiyi forward.

But it's normal to think about it.

After all, Taiyi was the first among them to enter the Divine Travel realm, a senior among all, and an elder among cultivators.

With such a person grasping the direction and speaking personally, they can truly represent others and speak on behalf of everyone. If it were someone else, there would probably be different opinions.

However, looking at Ye Wuxia in front of him, Song Feng's lips curled into a smile, and then he spoke in a deep voice:
"Cooperate with us? If you really intended to cooperate with us, you wouldn't have sent such a large force to surround this place."

"That mountain forest is vast and empty, yet it is filled with terrifying firepower. I wonder if you truly want to cooperate with us, or if you intend to take this opportunity to wipe us all out?"

Despite the hint of sarcasm in Song Feng's words, Ye Wuxia remained completely calm.
"Since you're here, doesn't that mean there's still room for discussion between us?"

Hearing Ye Wuxia's words and seeing his calm expression, Song Feng chuckled and nodded.
"There is indeed room for discussion, but where is your sincerity?"

Upon hearing Song Feng's words, Ye Wuxia smiled slightly and then said:
"...Isn't dividing the resources in the fog evenly enough?"

Upon hearing Ye Wuxia's words and seeing her seemingly harmless appearance, Song Feng shook his head and did not agree with her idea.

He simply stared at her silently, his eyes hidden beneath the hood, and felt a sense of emptiness.

"Divide the contents of the fog equally? Even if you have that idea, others probably won't give us that opportunity."

At this point, Song Feng paused slightly, then looked at Ye Wuxia and said:
"But since we're here, we've come with sincerity. I think your outfit is quite nice. How about we make one for each of us, just like this one?"

"Our requirements are simple: shockproof, bulletproof, and sturdy, preferably full-body armor, since we don't want to expose our identities easily these days."

Upon hearing Song Feng's words, and considering the content of his speech, even Ye Wuxia's expression subtly changed:
"You guys really have big appetites!"

He hadn't expected that Song Feng would be so discerning, easily recognizing the power of the scale armor he wore.

This suit of scale armor is far more powerful than a bulletproof vest. The disadvantages that would normally apply to an ordinary person wearing this suit of scale armor are almost entirely negated on her.

It can be described as shockproof, bulletproof, and sturdy. Even if it were to withstand an anti-materiel weapon, the power of the shot would be reduced by 70-80%.

Although the remaining force was enough to kill an ordinary person, and most ordinary people wouldn't even be able to withstand it, they would basically be blown to pieces without any chance of survival if they were touched, after putting on this light armor, facing that kind of anti-material weapon head-on would at most result in minor injuries, not to the point of being killed outright, which was already quite impressive.

This level of defensive armor, especially full-body armor, would be an absolute boon to any extraordinary being who fell into its hands.

It's similar to the attitude in ancient times that one could own a bow and arrow, but absolutely not allowed to keep armor at home.

There is no such regulation now.

But that's entirely because modern firearms and cannons have reached their pinnacle, so they're not afraid of ordinary people hiding armor or anything like that in their homes.

At worst, we can send troops to suppress them.

These days, if someone can put on armor and fight back, it's no longer an ordinary public security case, but a direct counter-terrorism operation. Basically, it's just a matter of one coordinate and one cannonball.

However, when such a weapon falls on these people, it's like ancient elite soldiers wearing full heavy armor.

Their speed and strength were already beyond human capabilities; if they were to acquire such highly protective armor, they could practically move freely throughout the entire army.

After all, it's impossible to actually use high-powered artillery in the city, right?

Without even thinking or asking for permission, she already knew that this would absolutely not be approved for them.

It was just as he thought.

Meanwhile, at the other side, the heads of the Investigation Bureau, watching the footage, had extremely grim expressions:

"The cost of this armor alone is over a hundred million. If this kind of armor were in the hands of an extraordinary person, it would be like adding wings to a tiger."

"These people are already willing to negotiate with the Bureau of Investigation. If they really get that much heavy armor, they might actually dare to rebel!"

Everyone present understood what kind of performance these extraordinary individuals would have after acquiring powerful armor.

In ancient times, ten fully armored soldiers, whether they were prepared or not, could capture a county town, let alone an extraordinary person like this.

That would be even more intimidating.

Anti-materiel weapons are already the most powerful firearms available today, and a superhuman expert wearing that light armor can almost withstand anti-materiel weapons with only minor injuries.

Under normal circumstances, even in a sneak attack, there is only one chance to fire a single shot.

Wearing such a full suit of armor, it's almost certain that it can withstand this shot. Doesn't that just add another outlaw?

These people were already terrifying to begin with.

It's impossible to equip them with the corresponding weapons anymore.

If these people were allowed to roam freely in the city wearing this armor, what would become of them?

now.

Upon hearing Song Feng's words, Ye Wuxia shook her head, directly and righteously rejecting Song Feng's suggestion:

"We will not agree to this condition. Please find another one."

Upon hearing Ye Wuxia's words, Song Feng nodded and then spoke:
"One billion, we need one billion in appearance fees."

Upon hearing Song Feng's words, Ye Wuxia paused for a moment before retorting:

"One billion is too much; we need to discuss it."

At this point, Ye Wuxia looked at the camera closest to them, her eyes filled with a questioning expression.

A moment later, a sound suddenly came from the camera:

"Six hundred million! That's our limit."

Seeing this, Song Feng nodded decisively, even taking out a special contact method from his hood:

"This is an anonymous overseas bank card. Transfer the money in, get ready, and we'll explore together when we find a suitable time. Transfer the money within one day; otherwise, we won't be able to."

After speaking, Song Feng glanced at the night outside, looked at the dark old town, and then quickly ran away into the distance.

With a flicker of its figure, it dashed through many abandoned houses and crowds, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

After a while.

Suddenly, a voice came through Ye Wuxia's earpiece:
"...We lost track of them."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wuxia nodded. In this old city, especially in a place with many abandoned houses, it would be extremely difficult to track down a near-extraordinary person without making a big fuss.

the other side.

After reuniting with the others, Song Feng nodded, then turned his gaze to the distant Taiyin:

"The money is almost in hand, 600 million. Once the money is transferred, you should place an order with overseas military laboratories and have them speed up the production of bulletproof clothing. This time it might be a bit difficult to resolve."

Upon hearing Song Feng's words, Taiyin nodded and then spoke very seriously:
"Even if there is danger, we still have to go. In this era of great change, every opportunity that arises has the potential to widen the gap between us and determine our future life or death. If we don't fight, we die!"

"Our strength is still too weak. If the Investigation Bureau, where the Night Emperor is located, becomes strong enough, we might have no choice but to surrender."

"Moreover, the spiritual energy sensing in the depths of the ocean in Haicheng is becoming increasingly profound. If we cannot strengthen our power before the new world opens, who knows what problems might arise when we arrive in the new world?"

Upon hearing Taiyin's reply and looking at the people in front of him, Song Feng was surprised to find that they were so bold as to have the idea of ​​venturing into the wild world.

That's quite remarkable.

He thought some of them might give up and only want to enjoy the fruits of these powers in the real world.
