The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 62 Counterattack
"died?"

Yaoguang asked again.

"Yes, he died in Tiannan."

Yue Xingzhou paused as he spoke: "From what I understand, he was controlled by the royal family and should have been in the capital, but in the end... he suddenly died in the capital of Tiannan. This... is a warning from the Rebirth Society to us."

"Do you think it was Reborn who did this?"

"..."

Yue Xingzhou didn't reply for a moment.

After a while, he started talking again, "Didn't we find out that it was Zhao Sheng? Zhao Sheng is obviously a senior member of the Rebirth Society. He went to the capital not long ago and just came back today. He found Xia Wuyuan's body not long after he came back, so... it should be... Zhao Sheng who did it."

Yaoguang listened and said nothing.

Yue Xingzhou let out a long breath and said, "Yaoguang... now that things have come to this, we can't investigate further. I know you are young and hot-tempered, and you will definitely not accept it, but the risks behind this matter are too great, so great that if we are not careful, we can be crushed to pieces, so... forget it, I will bring a gift to visit Governor Zhao later..."

"No need."

Yaoguang said, "No matter who did this, Zhao Sheng, I will solve it."

Yue Xingzhou was stunned.

Then he said anxiously: "Yaoguang, this Zhao Sheng may not be as simple as we thought. I even suspect... that after he turned into that monster, he has the strength of a martial saint. Otherwise, it would be impossible..."

He did not continue to talk about this point, but quickly changed the subject: "It is true that you are a young master. With your talent, plus the cultivation of the Jishihui, it is absolutely no problem for you to become a martial saint in the future. However, becoming a martial saint in the future and fighting a martial saint now are two different concepts! Potential is always just potential. Relying on blood and courage to do things you can't do before it is transformed into combat power will only hurt yourself in the end!"

"I see."

Yaoguang said.

His expression didn't change much.

Yue Xingzhou knew that Yaoguang did not listen to his words, so he hurriedly said: "Yaoguang, listen to my advice, the water here is very deep, you can't grasp it! You are still young, you can wait until you have achieved some success in cultivation before investigating secretly, so that you can have a safe future."

"I have measured it."

Yaoguang said, "That's it."

He hung up the phone.

Then, start packing up.

Divine Shadow Sword, 5S-level battle suit, and related medicinal materials used for cultivation.

"Martial Saint."

Yaoguang said in his heart.

When the progress of each branch reaches 60%, it meets the standard for breaking through the realm. After reaching 80%, the breakthrough of the realm can be almost guaranteed.

The remaining 80% to 100% progress is basically skills, experience and insights of killing enemies above your level and defeating the strong with the weak.

The demon at the Parkson Chemical Factory that fully revealed its true form was an absolute martial saint.

At that time, he was still at the fifth level and was able to kill the demon that showed its true form. Now, his realm has been pushed up to 71% of the sixth level, so...

"It's not like the Martial Saint can't be killed."

"Click."

Yaoguang locked the box, picked up the sword box, and was about to go out.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Zong Yan and Liu Tong coming in hurriedly.

Seeing Yaoguang about to go downstairs, Zong Yan was startled for a moment, then seemed to think of something: "Have you heard about it?"

"The ability of the Jishihui is disappointing."

Yaoguang looked at him: "I shouldn't have placed my hopes on you."

Zong Yan's face looked a little ugly.

The day before yesterday, Yaoguang had already understood this and told Fang Lu and Liao Ming that Xia Wuyuan was his man, and it was because of him that the information about the demon was submitted to the royal family. At that time, he also instructed the royal family to keep an eye on Xia Wuyuan, and Liao Ming agreed.

result……

In the blink of an eye, Xia Wuyuan died.

When this happened, both the Jishihui and he, the Martial Saint, lost all face.

No wonder Yaoguang would say such a thing.

"Ji Shi Hui will give you an explanation for this matter. Actually... this is not the fault of the Liao family. It was Xia Wuyuan who secretly ran away from the Procuratorate, which gave the monster an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Zong Yan promised in a deep voice: "We have found out who did it. It was a senior member of the Rebirth Society, who is equivalent to the director of our Jishi Society. He used the identity of Zhao Sheng, the deputy governor of Tiannan! Our Jishi Society will deal with him personally!"

"What are you waiting for?"

Yaoguang Road.

"The director of the Rebirth Society... definitely has the strength of a Martial Saint. If he is a monster from the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Soul Banner, he must be one of the best Martial Saints. We must mobilize enough manpower..."

Zong Yan held up two fingers: "Two days, give me two days!"

"Manpower? We have enough. It's just a matter of whether you are willing to take action."

Yao Guang said: "As for Zhao Sheng... I will deal with him."

"you!?"

Zong Yan opened his eyes wide.

Then he immediately said: "The Martial Saint is different from the Grandmaster. This is the first stage of transformation on the road to divine and demonic body refining. A martial artist who has experienced hundreds of battles against a Grandmaster who has just broken through, relying on his rich experience and resolute will, may be able to turn defeat into victory and turn the tide. However, the gap between the Grandmaster and the Martial Saint is so huge that it is almost impossible for the weak to defeat the strong..."

“The fact that it’s almost impossible to do it proves that someone can do it.”

"But……"

"Not that much though."

Yaoguang immediately took the things and walked out of the yard.

"and many more!"

Zong Yan shouted: "Even if you can deal with Zhao Sheng, there must be other monsters around Zhao Sheng. You..."

"Are you afraid?"

Yaoguang suddenly said.

He looked at Zong Yan: "Ji Shi Hui, are you afraid of the Rebirth Hui?"

"No! The mission of the Jishihui is to fight against the Red Star, the Starry Temple, and the Rebirth Society they support. We will never be afraid, but we don't want to see anyone sacrificed in vain when the situation is unclear..."

"I know it well."

Yaoguang Road.

He traveled to many places in the capital but did not find any monsters.

Furthermore, according to the monster that dropped the "Soul-Shocking Orb", he put down his important tasks to kill him.

in other words……

This is the strongest force that Zhao Sheng can mobilize except for going there himself.

Therefore, even if there are some fish that slip through the net, at best they are just a few ordinary grandmaster-level characters.

"Yaoguang, don't be impulsive."

When Zong Yan saw this, he became anxious.

Yaoguang... But he was the seed of the Martial Saint that he was very optimistic about. He wanted to focus on training him and hope that he would become a Martial Saint before the age of 25.

At the age of twenty-five, he became a Martial Saint. After another five years, he reached the age of thirty. He was at the peak of his life, young and strong. He had a great chance of defeating the Martial Saint of Red Star and taking back the recommendation quota that had been occupied by Red Star for forty years. If he died just because of strangling a high-ranking member of the Rebirth Society...

Not worth it.

"What do those people from the Liao family do for a living? Even if they are in the capital, they can be kidnapped and killed by the Rebirth Society?"

Zong Yan cursed in his heart.

He quickly caught up with Yaoguang who had left the yard and said resolutely, "Wait a minute, I'll go with you."

"Ok?"

Yaoguang glanced at him.

“Give me an hour!”

Zong Yan said in a deep voice.

Even though he is old and his energy and blood are declining, if he risks his life to burst out, he may be able to unleash the power of a martial saint.

What's more...

The "Holy Fire Liquid" of the Jishihui is best at stimulating human potential.

Although at his age, taking the "Holy Fire Liquid" is almost like gambling with his life, but...

To pass on the torch, train young masters into Martial Saints, and then have them enter the Weapon Sect. After they gain a certain status, they can give back to the country behind the Jishihui and protect their country from the bullying of the Red Star Empire. This is the mission of the Martial Saints of the Jishihui.

For this mission, he is willing to die.

"I need to make some preparations. I'll go with you in an hour!"

Zong Yan said heavily.

"it is good."

Yaoguang looked at Zong Yan and nodded: "I'll wait for you for an hour."

At that moment, he returned to the courtyard.

Zong Yan also left quickly, wearing his battle uniform and carrying his weapons, preparing for the upcoming battle.

And the shaking light...

He swallowed a snow ginseng pill and quietly tempered his body.

Many times, things are beyond our control.

It doesn't give people too much waiting time.

Just like Xia Wuyuan...

He planned to secure him after he became a Martial Saint and had a higher status, but...

He overestimated his own importance.

Young Grandmaster...

No matter how talented or powerful you are, you are still just a master after all.

In Dayu's territory alone, there were at least eighty of them.

The provincial and municipal governments have the final say, but they cannot decide anything at the national level.

But if he had demonstrated his strength at the level of Martial Saint earlier - as a grandmaster, he had the combat power of a Martial Saint, and the achievement of a Martial Saint was only a matter of seconds.

The results will be completely different.

At the end of the day…

"When you see small gains, you forget your life; when you plan for big things, you cherish your body."

Yaoguang said.

A year ago, he could convince himself that he was just an ordinary person.

This is true both before and after the time travel.

But now...

one Year.

His strength, called a Grandmaster, is actually a Martial Saint, and he is already among the top ranks in Dayu.

result……

……

Yaoguang waited quietly.

Less than an hour later, a noise was heard from outside.

Yaoguang pondered and went out.

Just then, Fang Lu and Liao Ming were there, arguing with Zong Yan about something.

Not far from them, there were dozens of people fully armed with solemn expressions.

The first few, without exception, are all masters.

Zhang Tianji was among them.

"Director Zong, this matter must be reported to the headquarters for a final decision. What you are doing now is abusing your power for personal gain."

"Our main force is concentrated in Dongzhou. Central Continent does not have sufficient manpower. If we act rashly before knowing how powerful the monsters led by Zhao Sheng are, we may fall into the enemy's trap and suffer huge casualties."

Fang Lu and Liao Ming said quickly.

"Okay, you don't need to say any more, I have made up my mind."

Zong Yan waved his hand.

"Director Zong!"

Fang Lu said loudly: "Ji Shi Hui is not just your Ji Shi Hui. I can't watch you and our Ji Shi Hui elites fall into danger."

Liao Ming, who was standing by, also saw Yaoguang coming out, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Yaoguang, you are forcing the sect director to make a decision, right? But I have to make things clear to you. It's not that we didn't protect Xia Wuyuan well. It was he who didn't cooperate and secretly ran away. That's why he fell into the hands of the Rebirth Society and lost his life. Who can be blamed for this?"

"I will investigate what is going on."

Yaoguang met his gaze: "Whoever is involved in this matter must pay the price."

As he spoke, he glanced at the masters and martial artists behind Zong Yan, and many of them had hesitation in their eyes.

Obviously, they were reluctant to attack a Rebirth Society stronghold without sufficient preparation.

"Then volunteer."

Yaoguang said: "If you are willing to join us in killing monsters, we can set out together. If you are not willing, we will not force you."

His words made many people look at Zong Yan.

Zong Yan looked at Fang Lu and Liao Ming deeply, and then nodded.

Fang Lu and Liao Ming thought that this was the biggest concession that Zong Yan and Yao Guang could make, so they could only say, "Then it's voluntary."

At that moment, among the dozens of people, about ten came forward to Zong Yan, and the remaining thirty or so did not move.

Zong Yan nodded to the dozen people and turned to Yao Guang: "Let's go."
