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

"So what? We still have to fight for victory or defeat."

Qingqing showed him no mercy and continued, "Also, give me my spirit stones."

"for you."

Chen Yang smiled and looked at Qingqing, then handed her the two spirit stones.

"Master, you can't give it to me!"

Wang Xuan hurriedly stopped him.

However, he was not as fast as Qingqing, and Qingqing dodged him directly.

"Okay, stop arguing."

Chen Yang looked at the two of them and then said, "Now that you're here, don't leave."

"Come in later and have a meeting with these real people."

"Huh? A meeting? Master, I think I'll pass."

"I go first."

Wang Xuan was initially unconvinced, but when he heard Chen Yang say that there was a meeting, he immediately lost his spirit.

Saying that, he was about to leave.

"This matter concerns your lives. If you want to leave, then leave."

"I originally intended for you to speak to our disciples, but it seems it's necessary for these few masters to do it."

Chen Yang shook his head as he watched him leave.

Then he looked at Qingqing and asked, "What about you? Do you want to hear it?"

"Yes, I'm not like some people who lack ability but refuse to humbly accept criticism."

Qingqing pouted and agreed, then came over to Chen Yang: "If you had met me sooner, he wouldn't have become your apprentice."

"I want to listen too."

After being scolded by her, Wang Xuan, who was about to leave, stopped again.

Then he walked over, separated from Qingqing, and stood on Chen Yang's side.

"Alright, they're here. Let's get ready to go in."

Chen Yang looked up at that moment.

Then they discovered that more than ten people had already arrived.

He knew most of these people.

There is Li Zhengguo, and there is Liu Yu.

True Lord Xuan Shui and True Man Huang, as well as two or three other True Men.

The rest were their top disciples.

They are stronger than Wang Xuan.

The group of people then went directly to the front of the main hall.

"Head!"

"..."

Each of them bowed to Chen Yang.

"Alright, don't be shy, let's come in and talk."

Chen Yang waved to the crowd and then led them into the main hall.

He then sat down in the main seat.

The others stood on either side.

In an instant, the once quiet and deserted hall became lively again.

"Sect Leader, what's going on that requires us all to come?"

The first to speak was True Lord Xuan Shui.

He looked at Chen Yang with a curious expression and asked.

"I went to Changbai Mountain and the Special Administration Bureau."

"I've encountered some problems, let me tell you about them."

Chen Yang looked at him and then continued, "During this process, I encountered some assassination attempts by men in black."

"What? Where are they from? Whose family are they?!"

"How dare you assassinate the leader of my Qingwei Sect!"

"Sect Leader, we now have a strong and well-equipped army, and we are ready to go to war with them at any time."

"..."

He had barely finished speaking when someone began to speak angrily.

These real people now hold Chen Yang in such high esteem that even he himself is unaware of it.

Now that I've seen it for myself, I can't help but smile.

"Don't be nervous, this matter is over. I have something more important to tell you."

Chen Yang snapped out of his daze and spoke again.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet."

Master Huang gave them a look, signaling them to shut up.

Only then did the main hall quiet down.

Everyone looked at Chen Yang, waiting for him to say something next.

"That's right, these men in black aren't very strong."

"Some of them are even ordinary people, but they are wearing a kind of armor and have a high-tech weapon."

"It will be able to unleash a power that is on par with mine."

Chen Yang paused for a moment, then continued, "These armors and weapons can unleash their potential, enabling them to fight me."

"Moreover, after I killed them, these people were able to self-destruct."

"What, self-destruction?"

"How does one self-destruct after death?"

"..."

Many people started discussing it again.

"That's right, words are not enough, let me show you the corpse."

"I've secretly hidden two corpses here, which you can use for experiments."

As Chen Yang spoke, he took the corpse out of his storage bag.

"Storage bags?"

"Sect Leader, you actually have a storage bag?"

"..."

This time, it surprised everyone present once again.

Qingqing only realized what they meant after hearing their words.

Chen Yang's bag turned out to be a storage bag.

“Look at this corpse.”

As Chen Yang spoke, he threw the two corpses out.

The two corpses were wearing armor and had weapons.

Several people saw it and gathered around to observe.

"Sect Leader, this looks very ordinary. It doesn't even have any spiritual energy."

"Yes, they are just two ordinary people."

"I can't feel any difference in their bodies."

"..."

Several people came to a conclusion.

"Sect Leader, are you saying they can fight you to a standstill?"

Master Huang understood Chen Yang's words and came over to ask.

"That's right, they are indeed ordinary people, and they are not even as capable as a bodyguard outside."

"But with their armor and weapons, they can fight me."

Chen Yang nodded, then continued, "Moreover, without my deterrence, their corpses will self-destruct, and all the armor, weapons, and their bodies will vanish into thin air."

"After the self-disclosure, we had no way of investigating."

"Sect Leader, then... this should be investigated by the Special Administration Bureau."

At this moment, True Lord Xuan Shui spoke.

His attention had been focused on the corpse the whole time.

“I have already contacted the Special Administration Bureau, and they also have several bodies in their possession.”

Chen Yang nodded, then continued, "We've already done the research."

"I came back after I received the news."

"Otherwise, how can I explain this to you?"

"Sect Leader, what exactly is going on?"

Liu Yu also felt that this matter was very serious.

This era of spiritual revival has deprived people like them of their stage.

Everything has to start from scratch.

"These people are products of the American biological research institute."

"They will use some plants or animals to extract their genes."

"Or extract the spiritual energy from their bodies to use in their transformation."

"Those who are successfully modified will possess innate supernatural powers, just like us."

"The ones who failed were these people, but they were also different from ordinary people." "Because they used drugs to enhance their strength."

"These were all researched and developed by the Special Administration Bureau."

Chen Yang looked at the group and continued, "In this way, their overall strength will surpass ours."

"Because their experts can be mass-produced in biological laboratories."

"Huh? Then isn't this just like a commodity?"

Upon hearing his words, Qingqing immediately looked worried: "Then aren't we just lambs to the slaughter?"

"Don't boost others' morale while diminishing your own."

“I heard it from my master.”

Wang Xuan rolled his eyes at her and said irritably.

“This time, Wang Xuan was right.”

"Our Special Administration Bureau also has the same technology, it's just a little inferior to theirs!"

Chen Yang glanced at Wang Xuan, then turned his attention to the others: "Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, the Special Administration Bureau will come."

"Sect Leader, what should we do if these people target us?"

"We clearly don't have enough people."

Master Huang asked worriedly.

"You're right, we don't have enough people."

Chen Yang nodded, and then continued, "That's why I came back."

"In the end, they have simply strengthened their own capabilities."

"Then, as long as there's still a limit to our strength, we have nothing to fear!"

"After all, they did not directly become the gods in our legends, so we have the strength to fight them."

"Needless to say, these two corpses are the best proof."

"Sect Leader, but many of us don't have your strength."

Li Zhengguo looked at Chen Yang and sighed, "If we were all like you, we wouldn't have anything to worry about."

"Take this mental cultivation method."

As Chen Yang spoke, he handed over the cultivation manual he had previously obtained to Master Huang.

"This is……"

Master Huang accepted the mental cultivation manual he was given and murmured something.

"This is the Zhengyang Heart Sutra!"

Chen Yang said, "It can give your strength a qualitative leap!"

"In addition, there are these cultivation techniques!"

"Especially my Soul-Binding Technique, I must learn it."

"Soul-binding technique? Why is that?"

Li Zhengguo had suffered losses in this matter before, so naturally he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"These people are strong, but it's all thanks to the potions and armor."

"Their own souls have not undergone any training or enhancement."

"Then, this is their weakness. As long as we use the Soul-Binding Technique on them, we can easily kill them."

"These two people were killed by me using the Soul-Binding Technique!"

Chen Yang glanced at him, then continued, "These cultivation techniques were all obtained from the Special Administration Bureau's Immortal Abode."

"These items I brought back for you this time can supplement the resources of our Qingwei School!"

"You should also seize the time to cultivate and improve your strength."

"Sect Leader, if the Special Administration Bureau develops these armors, can we use them?"

Liu Yu suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked.

"Sure, I have a good relationship with Minister Jiang, I can easily ask him for a batch!"

Chen Yang nodded, then looked at the others and said, "You must practice these techniques diligently and not slack off!"

"Our competition will only intensify, and this is because some families have colluded with them, letting the wolf into the house!"

"Let's wipe out that family!"

"Yes, they actually colluded with foreign forces!"

"..."

Upon hearing his words, the several real people all showed expressions of anger.

Their eyes were blazing with fury.

"The Special Administration Bureau is still investigating, and there is no news yet."

"I will notify you separately when I have news and need your help!"

"Right now, what you need to do is focus on your cultivation and prepare for the impending chaos."

Chen Yang shook his head and gave repeated instructions.

"Sect Leader, don't worry, we now have spiritual springs in the mountains as well."

"We will not let them succeed so easily."

Li Zhengguo responded again.

"The spiritual spring is not yet ripe; it's not the right time."

"This is too slow!"

Chen Yang shook his head, then took out two storage bags and handed them to Master Huang: "These two storage bags contain five hundred spirit stones."

"Take this and share it with the real people!"

"Keep it for those who don't come back."

"Master, this..."

Looking at the storage bag in his hand, Master Huang felt a surge of emotion.

This isn't just one or two, it's five hundred.

They wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

"Alright, enough with the formalities. As the leader of the Qingwei Sect, it is my responsibility to take good care of you!"

"I want to see you improve your strength so that you become even stronger than me."

"I won't be so stingy; I'm worried about you all becoming stronger!"

Chen Yang looked at everyone with a solemn expression: "However, just don't betray your master and ancestors, otherwise I will lead the Qingwei Sect and make sure you have nowhere to escape."

"Rest assured, Sect Leader, the Qingwei Sect is our home!"

"Yes, we were born members of the Qingwei School, and we will die ghosts of the Qingwei School."

"..."

The group responded in unison once again.

Each of them wore a solemn expression.

"What about us?"

Qingqing was a little envious.

These are far more tempting than the two she has in her hand.

“You don’t have this need yet.”

"One of these will last you a very long time!"

"The current spiritual spring, spiritual flesh, and spiritual essence are already sufficient for your needs."

Chen Yang glanced at Qingqing in front of so many people.

I stopped indulging her.

"Ok."

Qingqing looked a little dejected.

However, he didn't say anything more.

"Want more? Dream on."

Wang Xuan then began to mock.

"Alright, there's one more thing. You need to keep at least one-third of the real people behind to teach these new disciples."

"Otherwise, they would have come from afar only to find they couldn't obtain the cultivation techniques and resources they wanted."

"There won't be much of a sense of belonging, and some people might even be poached by others."

Chen Yang then remembered something else and reminded everyone: "These resources are certainly important, but at this critical juncture, people are even more important."

"When the era of spiritual energy revival fully erupts and spiritual energy becomes inexhaustible, we will be all gone. Wouldn't that be awkward?"

"Yes, the sect leader is right."

Liu Yu responded.

"Sect Leader, it was our oversight."

Li Zhengguo echoed this sentiment.

"Okay, this matter is settled."

"You must treat these disciples with utmost care; this is just the beginning."

"We must try our best to recruit these talented experts!"

Chen Yang was very satisfied with their reaction.

Looking at everyone, he continued, "Also, we need to thoroughly investigate the identities of those who come to prevent people from other families or outside forces from infiltrating!"

"Sect Leader, don't worry, we will definitely conduct thorough screening!"

Li Zhengguo stepped forward and said confidently, "We have plenty of ways to deal with these undercover agents."

"Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you!"

Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction and handed the matter over to him to handle. (End of Chapter)
