In the name of supernatural powers

Chapter 46 The Supreme One

Lu Zhao and his companion drove out of the city and followed the neon lights of the night into the Fangcheng District Administrative Building.

Temporary office of the task force.

At this time, this place was transformed into the new office space for the task force.

Originally, the task force was set up directly at the Ant Ridge Border Station, but due to the failure of the last operation, the task force moved away from the border station and chose to be stationed inside Fangshi.

This place can not only manage the overall situation and coordinate resources from all parties in the city, but also facilitate the mobilization of resources from other departments.

Lin Zhiyan rubbed his temples, pushed the documents in his hand aside, and ended his long day of work.

"Senior Lu, how did you manage to endure this situation for four years?"

She couldn't help but ask.

Recently, Lin Zhiyan has been experiencing 'Lu Zhao-style' treatment.

When she wanted to take over the defense of the city, she immediately faced various obstacles, with the group led by Chen Wuhou imposing a comprehensive blockade on the task force.

For example, special personnel were assigned to accompany and monitor the task force, and some members were dragged to drink with others at night, while leaders of relevant departments were absent from meetings without reason during the day.

Some thugs even threw stones at their office and wrote threatening letters.

Recently, a robber escaped. Lin Zhiyan received the news early in the morning, but there were problems with the coordination between various departments.

The first question is that there are no definite clues yet; the second question is that we will handle this matter according to the overall plan; the third question is that we have already taken action, but it is too late.

First, they pretend; second, they drag it out; third, they shift the blame.

Lin Zhiyan has a wide network of connections and a powerful background, but when she goes to someone else's territory, she finds that unless the Marquis of Wu himself comes, no one else can make a difference.

Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

Just like what Lu Zhao encountered, they don't need to break the law to trip you up.

On the other hand, Lin Zhiyan also needs to deal with the disobedient members of the special task force.

The newly promoted deputy was a middle-aged woman. She walked to Lin Zhiyan's right, bowed slightly, and handed over her phone with both hands.

"It's Team Leader Lin, or Team Chief Liang on the phone."

"Ah."

Lin Zhiyan took the phone and said, "Hello, Uncle Liang."

A deep, resonant voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I just finished a meeting here. Why did you suddenly decide to call your Uncle Liang? Is there some problem at work?"

Liang Chengyun is the Commander-in-Chief of the Security Command of the South China Sea West Circuit, a federal official, in charge of the security system of the South China Sea West Circuit.

He was also Lin Zhiyan's father's former adjutant.

Lin Zhiyan got straight to the point: "There's something I'd like to ask Uncle Liang for a favor."

Liang Chengyun said firmly, "Just tell me what's wrong, and Uncle Liang will definitely help you."

Lin Zhiyan said, "I need you to transfer someone to me, Lu Zhao, the platoon leader of the reinforced platoon at Ant Ridge Border Station."

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then Liang Chengyun's voice sounded slightly helpless.

"I knew you'd either stay silent or cause big trouble when you do speak. You should know about Lu Zhao's past, right?"

"Ah."

Although Lu Zhao is an outstanding graduate of the capital, the Federation has never lacked geniuses; there are many now and there will be more in the future.

Compared to the Chen family, he was far too weak.

Lu Zhao helped her once, so she lent him a hand in return. If Lu Zhao does well in the future, she can also gain a capable friend.

Liang Chengyun said, "Since you know, then don't make things difficult for your uncle. Marquis Chen has been operating in the West Coast of the South China Sea for twenty years, and everyone in the area is his man. He has only been gone for a year, but his influence is still enormous."

"Uncle Liang is unwilling to help me?"

"Grandma, it's not that I don't want to help you..."

Lin Zhiyan hung up the phone and quickly dialed another number with her slender fingers. The call was quickly connected to a federal internal hotline operator.

"Please connect me to Liu Hanwen, the chief of the South China Sea Administration Bureau, Liu Wuhou." The deputy standing to the side swallowed hard. She knew that her leader had a powerful background, but this was a bit too much.

This goes straight to the Imperial Academy, and he's even the chief.

The Federation is composed of thirteen provinces, each of which retains a high degree of autonomy, with the Provincial Council being the highest authority of the provinces.

After the Great Cataclysm, each Dao is a vassal state, and the chief of Dao politics is the vassal king.

The call connected, and an aged voice came through. The deputy instinctively held his breath.

"Xiao Yan, what brings you here?"

"Grandpa Liu, I want someone, Lu Zhao, the platoon leader of the reinforced platoon at Ant Ridge Border Station."

Lin Zhiyan's voice carried a hint of coquettishness.

This person was not his father's former subordinate, but his grandfather's friend.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Wuhou laughed heartily, without asking why or inquiring about Lu Zhao's identity or what trouble he might be in.

He simply replied, "I will have someone handle it."

Chen Qian was able to use her power to act capriciously, thus keeping Lu Zhao locked up at the border post for four years. Lin Zhiyan could do the same, and even more capriciously than Chen Qian.

She only dared to secretly give orders to her father's subordinates, while Lin Zhiyan directly summoned a military commander.

Moreover, Lin Zhiyan was more in line with the procedures than Chen Qian, and Lu Zhao was a local border guard, so the task force had the right to transfer him.

It's just that someone broke the rules first.
-
Lu Zhao returned to his dormitory at nine o'clock in the evening. As usual, he sat cross-legged to cultivate his spirit. He would practice whenever he had free time.

In the morning, I take a life-sustaining supplement to refine my vital energy and essence. At noon, I eat and contemplate my five senses. In the evening, I meditate to cultivate my spirit until tomorrow.

After a while, Lu Zhao opened his eyes; he had encountered a bottleneck in his spiritual cultivation.

A feeling of blockage that is hard to describe.

"It's time to go see the teacher."

He closed his eyes again, sank into the chaotic spiritual world, and once again stepped into the Primordial Chaos, resisting the spiritual tsunami.

As soon as you look in, you see wisps of smoke rising from the small Taoist temple.

Lu Zhao entered the Taoist temple, where the old Taoist priest sat with his eyes closed, seemingly contemplating the Great Dao.

He stood outside the door, waiting patiently.

In the spiritual world, the passage of time is chaotic, but the Primordial Chaos Realm is very wondrous; it is like a small world independent of reality.

The consciousness here is no different from a real physical body.

Lu Zhao can generate the five senses here without using visualization techniques.

However, the old Taoist priest did not recommend that he stay long, because the five senses of Hunyuan are naturally present, and borrowing the power of the blessed land would only blind him to the true nature of things.

After a long while, the old Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as calm as well water.

Lu Zhao bowed respectfully and said, "Teacher."

Seeing his somewhat awkward movements, the old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Come in, don't be shy."

"Yes."

Lu Zhao entered the Taoist temple and sat on a prayer mat.

The old Taoist priest asked, "You seem very happy; it seems your career is going smoothly."

"Is it obvious?" Lu Zhao touched his face, but didn't laugh.

"It's not obvious, but the divine power is outwardly apparent. You can't fool your master with your little skill." The old Taoist stroked his beard and laughed smugly. "As the ancients said, the relics of the Six Dynasties are overgrown with weeds, but the sky is clear and the clouds are leisurely, just as they were in ancient times."

"All things under heaven are the same; I've seen far too many."

Lu Zhao immediately understood that his teacher was curious about the specifics of the matter and was waiting for him to ask.

Just like the older generation in the family, they want to give advice on everything.

He said, "There are some things that students don't quite understand."

The old Taoist priest said calmly, "Tell me about it."
