You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

"Commander Chen!"

"..."

Someone took the lead, and one by one, others followed and greeted him.

"Everyone, long time no see."

Chen Yang responded by clasping his hands in a fist salute to the group.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.

They all came over to say hello, so he didn't need to put on airs with them.

"Since you've all come, where are your family and sect elders?"

He saw that more people had arrived and greeted him.

Chen Yang decided to ask these people about the situation.

"Commander Chen, my ancestor passed away a long time ago~"

"Yes, my ancestor was too."

“Commander Chen, my ancestor did indeed… possess a body, but the Li family told us to take this as a warning, and he has already passed away peacefully.”

"..."

Without exception, all of these people were making up various excuses.

Because of the large number of people, the family also has a lot of influence.

Even if Chen Yang wanted to, he might not have had the time to investigate each one individually.

"Oh? They're all gone?"

Chen Yang had anticipated that they would say that.

In the past, people would have thought these people would be a menace.

However, after returning home and encountering the spiritual energy revival, he learned something.

Don't force it.

They think it's a good thing, but the final outcome is uncertain.

"Yes!"

"Chen Shuai, you can rest assured, we will fully support you!"

"Excellent, Commander Chen, we will definitely support your actions!"

"..."

These people looked at Chen Yang, saying one thing but meaning another.

They said they supported them, but their cunning eyes betrayed them.

"Commander Chen, our minister is back too."

Just then, Xiao Zhao rushed over to report to Chen Yang.

"Okay, take me to see him."

Chen Yang nodded, too lazy to waste any more time with these people.

They simply had Xiao Zhao lead the way.

"Okay, this way please."

Clearly, Jiang He had specifically sent someone to summon Chen Yang.

He left with Xiao Zhao.

"Hmph, they're really making a mountain out of a molehill!"

An elder of the family glared at Xiao Feng's departing figure, indignantly saying, "If it weren't for his extraordinary strength, I would have found a chance to smash his head in."

"calm down."

The head of Maoshan smiled and then said, "Our ancestor has found another way out. Everyone must keep this a secret."

"By the time he finds out, it'll be too late!"

"That's right, they are our enemies."

Another person watched Xiao Feng's departing figure with a mocking expression: "He's trying to emulate others by taking on many disciples. I see that the Wei Sect will be destroyed sooner or later if it's in his hands."

"Who can argue with that? We don't even have enough resources of our own."

"Where would I find the time to teach these outsiders!"

A middle-aged man also came over and joined them.

They started to join in the sarcastic remarks.

"I think he's just a clown."

A burly man also came over to join in the fun: "Do you think that by doing this, you'll have a chance to surpass the strength of our sect!"

"He'll find out sooner or later that he's hoisted himself by his own petard."

"That's right!"

"Correct!"

"..."

Everyone believed what they said without a doubt.

"By the way, why do you think they're going to gather us all here this time?"

Suddenly, the head of Maoshan Sect thought of something, looked at the crowd in front of him, and asked in a deep voice.

"That's not necessarily true; our people can't infiltrate either."

"It's very difficult to find out their purpose."

An old man shook his head, clearly not well-informed.

"Hmph, that's just guessing, and you can even figure it out!"

The burly man snorted coldly, revealing a smile: "It's nothing more than Chen Yang's petty affair. He and Jiang He are in cahoots!"

"That's right, it's because of the Li family's affair, plus the Wang family's idiots exposing the truth, that they're in such a hurry!"

"Then we need to stick together!"

"Yes, with so many of us, are they really going to try and wipe us all out?"

"That's right. If we wipe us all out, other countries will find out, and if they intervene, they're finished."

"They certainly wouldn't dare; that would be courting their own destruction!"

"..."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

They were all certain that Xiao Feng and his group would never dare to use force.

Chen Yang couldn't hear this either.

At this point, he and Xiao Zhao had already left the hall.

They then proceeded to a side entrance.

After entering, he followed Xiao Zhao in the elevator all the way up to a suite.

"Minister Jiang, Mr. Chen has arrived."

After Xiao Zhao brought him over, he gently knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Soon, the sound of rivers could be heard coming from inside.

Xiao Zhao opened the door first, then stepped aside and said, "Mr. Chen, please."

"it is good!"

Chen Yang smiled politely and then went inside.

I saw Jiang He sitting on the sofa, organizing some documents.

There were several unfamiliar people nearby, who were clearly his assistants and subordinates.

"Commander Chen, please have a seat."

When Jiang He saw him come in, he gestured for him to sit down and talk.

"it is good!"

Chen Yang didn't stand on ceremony and casually found a seat to sit down.

"Almost everyone has arrived."

Jiang He looked at him and then continued, "I just saw you chatting with some old guys."

"Hmm, play Tai Chi with me."

Chen Yang nodded and smiled: "But it doesn't matter anymore."

"Their cleverness will soon get them killed."

"Not bad!"

As Jiang He spoke, he handed a document to Chen Yang: "This is about the recent situation abroad. It's not just here that spiritual energy is reviving."

"In some countries, quite a few people have already begun practicing cultivation."

"Although they were trying to cover it up, our people aren't pushovers either, and I still managed to find out everything."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang responded, then opened the documents he was given and began to examine them carefully.

It was discovered that this place contains records of the revival of spiritual energy in various countries.

“In some areas, the spiritual energy is too strong.”

"It has already affected animals and plants; because they started cultivating earlier, their speed is faster!"

"There are already spirit beasts whose strength is comparable to ours!"

Jiang He lit a cigarette, his face showing worry: "We need to hurry too."

"It seems we really need to hurry."

After watching for a while, Chen Yang also showed a solemn expression.

"Did you know that quite a few countries have already started developing it?"

"They developed matching armor and medicine!"

"By extracting the genes from these animals and plants, research can accelerate the speed of human cultivation."

"Some of these potions can increase a person's defense, while others can increase speed and strength!"

Jiang He looked at Chen Yang and said, word by word, "Their armor all possesses the genetic technology of this creature, which enhances both their defensive and offensive capabilities!"

"This matter is indeed of utmost importance."

"So, are you planning to tell these people?"

After he finished speaking, Chen Yang couldn't help but ask.

That's what he cares about.

Do we need to share with these people?
Obviously, it is necessary.

"That's right, I'll explain it to them briefly, but I definitely won't let them know the core details!"

"However, let's have lunch first."

"Give them a relaxed start, we'll officially begin this afternoon!"

Jiang He let out a long sigh, then stood up and patted Chen Yang on the shoulder: "Let's go! Let's go downstairs."

"it is good!"

Chen Yang nodded and stood up as well.

The two of them arrived outside the suite and, through the glass, could see the people below.

They gathered in small groups, chatting animatedly, unaware that they had already been targeted.

Soon, the two returned the way they came.

I came out through the side door and headed towards the main hall.

"Minister Jiang is here!"

Shh! Don't talk nonsense!

"..."

A sharp-eyed person noticed the two coming out together and immediately reminded others to shut up.

"Minister Jiang!"

"Commander Chen!"

"Minister Jiang, you look great!"

"..."

Many people started greeting the two of them.

"Gentlemen, we're all on the same side, no need to be so polite!"

"Come on! Let's raise a glass to celebrate this rare get-together!"

Jiang He picked up a glass of red wine from the table and raised it high.

"cheers!"

"..."

His invitation instantly resonated with the entire audience.

Many people echoed this sentiment, raising their glasses to toast Jiang He and Chen Yang across the distance.

"Minister Jiang, is there something you want to tell us?"

"Yes, it's been so long since we've gotten together like this!"

"Is it related to the Li family?"

"..."

After a glass of wine, many people started talking.

People started asking questions.

"Everyone, let's eat properly!"

"Let's talk about these things during the meeting this afternoon!"

"At that time, I will give everyone a chance to ask questions!"

Jiang He looked at everyone present and said with a smile.

"Okay! Then let's eat as much as we want!"

"Yes, today's food is all pretty good!"

"..."

After hearing his words, many people stopped asking further questions.

Since we'll be discussing this at a meeting soon, there's no need to dig into the details now.

Why not have a good, satisfying meal and relax?

"now it's right!"

"Come, let me toast you all again, for you who have come from afar!"

"Consider this a welcome dinner for everyone!"

Jiang He was fluent in polite conversation and raised his glass high.

He then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

"Minister Jiang, I'll have a drink with you!"

"I did it too!"

"..."

If he takes the lead in drinking, how can no one cooperate?

One by one, they all downed another drink.

The scene gradually improved.

"Alright everyone, eat as much as you like!"

Jiang He waved his hand, and then let everyone start eating freely.

In a short time, many people gathered together again.

They began to feast.

"Minister Jiang, let me toast you!"

"..."

Soon, people started arriving one after another.

I went to toast Jiang He.

"it is good!"

"Come on, cheers!"

"..."

Jiang He welcomed everyone and toasted with them.

At the drinking party, everyone put aside past grievances and began to drink heartily.

Chen Yang watched as everyone else began to find their favorite delicacies and start tasting them.

As time went on, the lunch on the table gradually dwindled.

Many people, having eaten and drunk their fill, began to chat.

"Everyone, you'll all be full in half an hour."

"You can take the elevator directly to the conference room on the sixth floor!"

"We're all ready. The meeting will begin in one hour!"

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Jiang He clapped his hands to remind them.

"it is good!"

"understand!"

"..."

Many people began to respond.

Jiang He nodded in satisfaction and walked over to Chen Yang: "Let's go up first."

"it is good!"

Chen Yang had already eaten and drunk his fill.

Although it's far inferior to the spiritual and physical aspects of food, it's still a delicacy from a five-star hotel.

It won't be too much different.

After he agreed, he set off with Jiang He.

I retraced my steps, took the elevator, and went straight to the sixth floor.

After getting off the elevator, they saw a number of people from the Special Administration Bureau who were already prepared to welcome them.

"Minister Jiang!"

"Commander Chen!"

"..."

Even when they saw their own people, they greeted them politely and gave them directions.

"it is good!"

Jiang He nodded in satisfaction and led Chen Yang directly to the meeting hall that they had already prepared.

There were many chairs in the hall, with bottled water and notebooks on them.

He also had staff members lined up on both sides waiting.

It was clearly intended to receive these distinguished guests.

Looking further ahead, there's a platform.

There were two or three chairs up there, obviously prepared for Jiang He, Chen Shuai, and other people from the Special Administration Bureau.

"Let's go!"

Jiang He patted Chen Yang on the shoulder and led him upstairs.

Chen Yang didn't stand on ceremony and followed him forward, sitting down next to Jiang He.

He straightened his microphone and waited for Jiang He's instructions.

"Let's do it the way we agreed."

"I'll tell you part of it, you do the rest!"

"Let's work together to explain!"

Jiang He turned to look at Chen Yang: "How is it?"

"no problem."

Chen Yang nodded, then continued, "Now that we've explained things clearly, I'll go down first. The rest is up to the rest of you."

For such an important event, Jiang He's men must have made special preparations.

He certainly couldn't take up all of their time.

"Okay, okay! No problem!"

As expected, Jiang He readily agreed.

Dealing with such intelligent people is very comfortable.

Many things don't need special explanation.

Then everyone can have a tacit understanding.

"It came pretty quickly."

After Jiang He agreed, Chen Yang glanced at the door.

I noticed that quite a few people were already heading towards the conference hall.

They all came in in twos and threes.

"What do you think these people will think when they find out about our arrangements?"

As more and more people entered, Jiang He spoke with great interest to Chen Yang.

"With their interests in conflict, their attitude was already predictable."

"However, this is an inevitable trend."

Chen Yang smiled and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Disobeying will lead to being eliminated even faster."

"Right now, they have no chance to resist. Even if we give them a chance, time will not allow it!"

"That's right, I hope they can understand our predicament."

Jiang He unscrewed a bottle of water and handed one to Chen Yang first.

Then I opened a bottle myself and took a sip.

He beckoned to his assistant, "Go check on the progress of the people downstairs and give them a proper reminder!" (End of Chapter)
