Chapter 222 Schemes, a Feast That Was Not a Good Feast

The director of the Warship Research Institute revealed a half-smile and teased him with a smile.

Is he preparing to laugh at himself?

Sima Xiao was somewhat displeased, but since the other deans were all looking over, he simply opened the transmitted abnormal data.

It's good to let these old guys see it, so they won't be suspicious.

The abnormal data was projected onto the screen at the front of the conference room. The first scene that appeared was Gu Qing cooperating with the Nine Fruit Shadow Clone Technique to unleash the Forest Sword Realm.

"It's him again—Gu Qing—"

Sima Xiao frowned the moment he saw Gu Qing.

"Old Xiao, do you know this guy well?"

"I asked curiously, the director of the Warship Research Institute."

A mercenary whose name the director of the Bloodline Research Institute remembers is no ordinary person.

"hehe."

"We're quite familiar with each other, but this kid is arrogant and needs a lot of guidance."

"Hmm, let him endure it in the Black Dragon Mountain plane, then we should be able to control him —"

Sima Xiao's gaze turned cold as he finished speaking.

However, before he could speak further, the image projected by the abnormal data suddenly changed.

Everyone then witnessed Gu Qingjian slaying Mu Lingshi.

Congratulations!

"Old Xiao, congratulations on cultivating such a genius. With this child in the Black Dragon Mountain Plane, in my opinion, we will definitely be able to take over the Black Dragon Mountain Plane within a hundred years."

"The Black Dragon Mountain Plane has three more continents, Lao Xiao. The origin of this plane is not weak; it can accommodate three or four Dao Domains. We are all old friends from the 1086 Planes."

"When the time comes, you'll be the first to eat the crab, leaving just a little soup for us old buddies."

The other deans at the Nascent Soul stage all raised their hands to offer their congratulations.

The first to establish a Dao domain in Black Dragon Mountain will reap the greatest benefits.

However, this does not mean that others cannot continue to establish Dao domains in the Black Dragon Mountain plane.

After conquering the Black Dragon Mountain plane, they will also have the opportunity to break through to the Integration Realm.

However, after a while, the other deans were shocked to find that Sima Xiao's face looked even worse than if his mother had died.

A sudden jolt went through their hearts.

"What's going on?"

"Old Xiao, say something!"

After a long silence, Sima Xiao said coldly, "I underestimated him."

He only conducted a few experiments and held a meeting, and Gu Qing, in the Black Dragon Mountain plane, fought his way through the battlefield and even killed a Spirit Shepherd.

"Old Xiao, stop speaking in riddles and explain yourself clearly."

"snort."

Sima Xiao snorted coldly, glanced at the director of the warship research institute, and continued, "This person is called Gu Qing. He completed his third mercenary trial and did not renegotiate his contract with the group."

"You mean, this person is at risk of getting out of control?"

The so-called "out of control" is actually the sliver of hope left by the Immortal Kingdom's official government for countless mercenaries.

Once the conditions are met, mercenaries can break free from the control of the Immortal Company and become independent individuals.

The Dean of the Pill Research Institute remained silent. He quietly went to the front of the conference room, scrolled through the uploaded abnormal data, and checked Gu Qing's performance in the three mercenary trials.

Scenes flashed across the screen, and soon the image of Gu Qing refining the [Purple Extreme Heavenly River Pill] using his self-created liquid pill method appeared in the ancient remnant world.

"So this is the Gu Qing who invented the liquid elixir method."

Considering the recent bloodbath in the low-level pill market, Mingming Group has the opportunity to acquire this technology and dominate the majority of the low-level pill market.

The director of the Pill Research Institute was immediately heartbroken. He turned to Sima Xiao and said with exasperation, "Old Xiao, you're foolish!!"

"How can we allow such a talented individual to become disloyal to the company?"

"Ordinary talents are one thing, but for a prodigy like this, you're being far too unreliable."

"Enough"

After being reprimanded by the director of the Pill Research Institute, Sima Xiao's face twitched, and he said angrily.

The round table he touched instantly developed spiderweb-like cracks.

"Quiet down, everyone."

"Now let's think about how to salvage this situation. Either we can win this person over, or we can use some means to control them."

"I have a plan."

"Perhaps we can control this person, or at least get him to retract his statement and sign a new contract."

While the other deans were making a lot of noise, it was the usually taciturn dean of the Magic Weapon Research Institute who made a surprising remark.

Even Sima Xiao looked over in surprise.

"What method?"

"hehe."

The director of the Magical Artifacts Research Institute chuckled, not answering Sima Xiao, but instead asking, "Do you still remember how long until the Ascension Competition held by the ten major universities of the Immortal Kingdom?"

"One hundred and eighty years."

Why are you asking this?

"The Ascension Tournament is the key. A genius like Gu Qing will definitely try his best to participate in the Ascension Tournament. This is his Achilles' heel."

"Everyone has weaknesses."

As soon as the director of the Magical Artifacts Research Institute finished speaking, Sima Xiao's eyes lit up.

The Black Dragon Mountain dimension.

Gu Qing was on the Qingyun warship, unaware that a group of cunning old foxes were plotting against him.

a few days later.

The five Qingyun warships returned to the Fifth Legion base.

Centurion Dong Wansheng personally came to the base gate to welcome everyone back. In addition to Dong Wansheng, there were also several other centurions who had not gone on missions.

"Welcome back safe and sound, everyone!!"

This mission not only wiped out the rebellious local cultivators of Harbor City, but also killed a Spirit Shepherd. Such achievements greatly enhanced Dong Wansheng's reputation.

He had just been praised by the legion commander.

-

"Lord Dong."

"grown ups."

Jin Ao, Guan Lin, and the other five centurions came forward and bowed to Dong Wansheng.

"Hahaha."

"You're welcome."

"You have won a great victory this time and achieved many military exploits. The corps commander is very pleased."

"Here, I would like to commend Gu Qing."

"As a new recruit, Gu Qing performed so brilliantly in his first war against foreign enemies."

"Come on, come to the front quickly."

Jin Ao, Guan Lin, and the others were surprised when they saw this.

As a centurion at the Purple Mansion Realm, Dong Wansheng had never been this approachable before. Could it be that Gu Qing is the centurion's long-lost half-brother?

Even Gu Qing felt a slight discomfort.

Dong Wansheng is being far too enthusiastic; this is not typical of the Immortal Kingdom—this is not a place where everyone is a loving family.

"Let's go, let's go inside."

"Gu Qingna, you did a great job on this mission."

"Even the legion commander acknowledges your outstanding performance on the battlefield."

"The legion commander held a victory celebration banquet at the camp."

"Today, you are the star of the celebration banquet, and I am only benefiting from your success."

"Cough cough."

"Lord Dong, you flatter me."

Gu Qing felt somewhat uncomfortable with Dong Wansheng's flattery.

Gu Qing, Jin Ao, Guan Lin, and others followed Dong Wansheng to the base.

Looking up, I saw a black-clad man sitting in front of me with an aura as deep as a bottomless pit.
