I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Three hundred meters above the ground, the top floor of the Tian Shu Bureau headquarters is a suspended pavilion.

The indoor air pressure was as heavy as the deep sea, and the aura of the ninth-level powerhouse unconsciously radiated outwards, distorting the light within three feet into a strange spiral shape.

Xu Daozhen, dressed in a gray robe, sat upright in front of the chessboard.

He held black in his left hand and white in his right, playing a game against himself.

Outside the door, an intelligence officer in a black uniform knelt on both knees.

His body was trembling violently, cold sweat soaked through his clothes and dripped down his chin onto the floor.

"Reporting to Lord Tianzhu, the video has been sent from Tianyun Prefecture."

"put."

Xu Daozhen did not turn around, holding a black jade stone polished from the finest black jade between two fingers, suspended in mid-air.

The intelligence officer pressed the switch on the recorder.

A beam of deep blue light shot into the air, intertwining to form a holographic image three meters in length and width.

The oppressive battlefield scene of Black Abyss Rift unfolds inside the Suspended Pavilion.

In the scene, a twisted mountain of flesh, fifteen meters tall, is roaring madly. It is a monster formed by the mutation and fusion of Chen Yuan, Li Feng, and others.

……

After the video finished playing, silence fell over the suspended pavilion.

The intelligence officer felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart tightly, and he could no longer breathe.

That was Chen Yuan's special envoy, who was at the late stage of the seventh rank!

Even within the entire Longjing Tian Shu Bureau, they can be considered ace fighters!

Even if it was distorted by the gray mist, its combat power would still have reached the peak of the seventh rank.

He was actually killed by a seventeen-year-old sixth-level martial artist?

What a terrifying talent!

Xu Daozhen stared at the holographic still image in mid-air.

His expression remained unchanged; he showed no rage, and even his breathing rate remained the same.

Snapped.

Xu Daozhen suddenly exerted force with two fingers, slamming the black piece in his hand heavily onto the star point of the chessboard.

On the chessboard, a large number of white pieces were completely wiped out.

An invisible force of energy emanated, and the white jade chess pieces that had been eaten instantly turned into a pile of fine powder, which fell onto the table.

"Lu Changming has found a promising talent."

Xu Daozhen's voice was calm. "Ruthless enough, absolutely ruthless."

The intelligence officer, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with uncontrollable rage and horror.

"grown ups!"

The intelligence officer's forehead slammed heavily against the floor, making a dull thud.

"Special Envoy Chen Yuan represents the face of the Tian Shu Bureau and the prestige of Longjing! This Shen Tian is incredibly audacious, daring to plot against the Imperial Envoy! I implore you to immediately issue a nationwide arrest warrant and mobilize the Imperial Guards of Longjing to capture this madman!"

Xu Daozhen slowly turned his head and looked down at the intelligence officer on the ground.

That look was like looking at a stupid dog that was barking wildly.

Wanted? What are you going to use to issue a wanted notice?

Xu Daozhen sneered inwardly. This video was clearly left behind by Shen Tian on purpose.

In the video, Chen Yuan has completely transformed into a monster who has lost his mind.

To everyone else, Shen Tian's actions were seen as slaying the gray fog monsters that threatened the human race.

"madness."

Xu Daozhen picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup beside him.

"There's no way to verify the truth about the Black Abyss Rift. You're using this video to issue a warrant for his arrest? Are you trying to tell the entire nation that Shen Tian is a hero?"

The intelligence officer froze, his blood instantly turning cold.

The intelligence officer pressed his head firmly to the ground again, not daring to even breathe.

Xu Daozhen turned his gaze back to Shen Tian's figure in the holographic projection, a deep and cold light swirling in the depths of his eyes.

This kid's methods are even more ruthless than that old fox Lu Changming's.

Using the gray fog disaster as a cover for their murderous intent, they killed everyone, even recording the incident on video, using Chen Yuan's distorted and ugly state as a get-out-of-jail-free card.

What's even more terrifying is the combat power shown in this video.

Despite being at the early stage of the sixth rank, he was able to unleash destructive power capable of killing a peak seventh rank cultivator.

This level of combat prowess, transcending class boundaries, has exceeded the comprehension of conventional martial arts systems.

The Heavenly Fortune Prefecture is truly about to produce an unstoppable dragon.

Xu Daozhen slowly stood up.

The aura of law surrounding him suddenly receded, but the invisible pressure caused the temperature in the entire Suspended Pavilion to plummet to freezing point.

The sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows seemed to be frozen by the chill.

As a ninth-ranking pillar of power in the Dragon Kingdom, Xu Daozhen never lost his composure because of temporary gains or losses.

If a piece dies, just replace it with a new one.

But anyone who dares to overturn his chessboard must pay the price.

"Pass on three secret orders to me."

Xu Daozhen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the rolling clouds outside the window.

"First, completely suppress news of Chen Yuan and the other three's deaths. Release the highest-level battle report to the public, stating that the Longjing Search and Rescue Team has successfully established a Level 1 outpost deep within the Black Abyss Rift and is conducting in-depth exploration of the gray fog area."

The intelligence officer was stunned.

Establish an outpost?

This is to make the lie a fact, not even giving Tianyun Prefecture a chance to refute it.

"Second, issue official documents in the name of the Cabinet and the Tian Shu Bureau."

Xu Daozhen's voice was like a cold wind blowing from the Arctic.

"Now that the outpost has been established, it will require a massive amount of resources. Effective immediately, all strategic material quotas allocated to Tianyun Prefecture for the next three years will be completely cut off and nominally allocated to the construction of the outpost."

The intelligence officer gasped.

The Heavenly Fortune Prefecture guards the southern border, and its daily consumption...

Resources, extraordinary metals, and crystal nuclei amount to an astronomical figure.

Cutting off the quota for three years is tantamount to directly severing the lifeline of Tianyun Prefecture.

Isn't Lu Changming known for hiding his talents and protecting his own?

Then let Tianyun Prefecture use its resources to fill the gaps at the front lines and wear them down.

"third."

Xu Daozhen turned around and looked at the holographic projection in mid-air, his eyes becoming as cold as ancient ice.

"Send this video of Shen Tian killing Chen Yuan to the higher-ups of the Purple Spirit Clan."

Xu Daozhen walked to the rosewood table and held the tactical recorder in his hand.

The intelligence officer suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with shock and sudden realization.

Using someone else to do the dirty work, or shifting the blame elsewhere.

The Purple Spirit Clan has lost 12,000 elite soldiers and one seventh-level mentalist. The clan's leadership is on the verge of exploding with rage and is looking for a target to vent their anger on.

"Tell the Purple Spirit Clan that Shen Tian is the real culprit who silenced their delegation."

The intelligence officer knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

"Yes, sir. I will carry it out immediately."
