Chen Yi looked up and saw an old man around sixty years old.

He had narrow eyes, a goatee, and a deep, restrained aura.

He was looking at Chen Yi with a very dissatisfied and slightly disdainful gaze.

"I didn't ask you to wait for me," Chen Yi replied coldly.

"presumptuous!"

The old man roared, "You're late and you still have the nerve to make excuses!"

Wisps of white vapor instantly appeared in the surrounding air.

So he's a master of water attributes!

"The meeting is at eight o'clock. What time is it now?"

Chen Yi's aura also turned cold.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the clock on the wall.

7:55.

Uh!

The man's expression immediately became uncertain, and he looked slightly embarrassed.

I accused the other person of being late, but it turns out the other person wasn't late at all.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing.

"With so many seniors here, how can you, a junior, wait for me?"

He changed the subject again.

Chen Yi glanced at the crowd, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Senior? Who dares to call me senior? You? A mere peak Grandmaster, how dare you speak so arrogantly!"

Ah!

The moment he finished speaking, everyone was stunned!

Who dares to call him a senior?

Is anyone really that arrogant?

What shocked the old man even more was that the young man had actually seen through his cultivation level.

I didn't reveal a single trace of my presence, so how did he see through me?

As for himself, he couldn't see through the other party's aura at all.

He knew that this kid had been promoted to major general by Lei Zhen, who had made an exception for him.

According to convention, they must be at least Grandmaster level experts.

Judging from this child's age, he is at most at the early stage of a Grandmaster.

A mere early-stage Grandmaster dares to look down on someone at the peak of the Grandmaster realm!

What an arrogant brat!

"Kid, you're too arrogant!"

He was furious and slammed his fist on the table.

Seeing this, Lei Zhen quickly said, "Please calm down, both of you! Please calm down. We are all working for the country and the people. Please consider the bigger picture!"

He quickly pulled Chen Yi aside and pointed to the old man, introducing him.

"Major General Chen, this is Major General Song Rentou from the Special Investigation Bureau! You will be working side-by-side in this operation, and I hope you two will cooperate sincerely!"

Grandmasters are the pinnacle of the Special Investigation Bureau's combat power, and he certainly didn't want the two Grandmaster Major Generals to have a conflict.

Chen Yi's gaze narrowed slightly.

He knew that the Special Investigations Bureau had four other major generals besides him.

So this is one of them.

No wonder he's so arrogant.

He said calmly, "If Major General Song has any self-respect, I have no problem with it."

Just don't let these self-righteous and arrogant people hold us back.

He knew that what was underground in Yaojia Village was definitely not simple.

At the peak of the Grandmaster level, one is nothing more than feeding kills to others.

Song Ren angrily retorted, "You brat! I have no intention of cooperating with him on such an important matter."

"alright!"

At this moment, the old man at the head of the table spoke, his voice authoritative, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"This is a matter of vital importance concerning the safety of the people. Let's hear the situation first, and then everyone can express their opinions. We are all serving the country, so I hope everyone can put aside their prejudices and cooperate sincerely!"

Then, his gaze fell on Chen Yi.

"Major General Chen, we've heard that the prescription for treating the people was written by you. You've done a great service to the people. On behalf of the nation and its people, we thank you!"

Lei Zhen introduced, "Major General Chen, this is General Li Tianxia, ​​the director of our Special Investigation Bureau."

"Greetings, Director Li!" Chen Yi bowed respectfully.

Director Li smiled and nodded: "Major General Chen, please have a seat."

Chen Yi sat down, and a woman came forward and turned on the projector to explain the situation of Yaojia Village.

After finishing her speech, Li Tianxia said:

"In this operation, in addition to our Special Investigation Bureau, we also invited martial arts families from the capital to contribute, and selected thirty martial artists of the Transformation Realm or above to carry out the mission. What are your thoughts? Please feel free to share them."

Chen Yi looked at Ye Cheng and Yan Wuhen. No wonder they were here too; it turned out they were invited by the Special Investigation Bureau.

Song Rentou said, "According to intelligence, the villagers who first fell ill all went into the valley behind Yaojia Village. That's the problem. I suggest sending an excavator in to dig deep and find out what's going on."

Upon hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Chen Yi's lips.

"What are you laughing at, kid!"

Song Ren asked angrily.

"I laugh at your ignorance," Chen Yi said coldly.

"you……"

Just as Song Rentou was about to lash out, Li Tianxia stopped him.

With a stern gaze, he looked at Chen Yi and asked, "Major General Chen, what are your thoughts?"

Everyone looked at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi calmly replied:

"The villagers' illnesses are all due to damage to their spirit and soul; there is a formation in the valley of Yaojia Village."

I suspect that powerful spirits or something similar exist in the underground suppression.

"If we dig rashly and damage the formation, the evil spirits will escape, and the nearby people will likely suffer a great calamity."

"That's utter nonsense! How do you know there are evil spirits being suppressed down there?!"

Song Rentou sneered.

Chen Yi didn't even glance at him, and continued:

"I have checked historical records. Ninety years ago, Japanese pirates spied on North China from here. A brigade of Xia soldiers entered the valley and disappeared overnight."

Afterwards, a Taoist priest from the Qingxu Holy Land was the first to enter.

"You mean this matter is related to the Qingxu Holy Land?" Lei Zhen asked hurriedly.

"Um."

Chen Yi nodded, "It would be best to consult with the Taoist priests of Qingxu Holy Land. We should investigate thoroughly first before taking any comprehensive measures to ensure the safety and well-being of the people."

Ah!

As soon as he finished speaking, many people nodded slightly.

Li Tianxia looked at everyone and asked, "Does anyone else have any opinions?"

"I agree with Major General Chen's opinion," a middle-aged man next to Ye Cheng said in a deep voice.

His cultivation level was clearly at the peak of the Transformation Realm!

Several Special Investigations Bureau warriors nodded in agreement.

"I agree with Major General Song's opinion."

However, Yan Wuhen spoke up.

Everyone turned to look at Yan Wuhen.

Yan Wuhen said, "Even if there are powerful Yin spirits, there is no need to worry."

My Yan family has a magical artifact called the Soul-Suppressing Banner, which can suppress any kind of evil spirit.

I'll go back and retrieve it, then dig open the valley. If there are any wandering spirits, I'll collect them all, thus eliminating any future troubles!"

"The Soul-Suppressing Banner!"

Upon hearing this, the elders exclaimed in surprise.

"Dad, what is a Soul-Suppressing Banner?" Ye Cheng asked the middle-aged man.

That man was Ye Cheng's father, Ye Xiao, the current head of the Ye family.

Ye Xiao said with a solemn expression:

"I've only heard that this Soul-Suppressing Banner can not only capture the spirits of the dead, but it can also steal the souls of the living. I never imagined that the Yan family would possess such a powerful magic weapon."

Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Li Tianxia said, "That's wonderful, Young Master Yan. I'll trouble you to go back to the Yan family and borrow the Soul-Suppressing Banner."

Yan Wuhen smiled proudly:

"How can evil forces be allowed to run rampant at the foot of Yanshan Mountain? The Yan family has an inescapable responsibility. Director Li, there's no need for you to be so polite."

Li Tianxia looked at Chen Yidao.

"Does Major General Chen have anything to add?"

Chen Yi said calmly, "Director Li would be best to consult with the Taoist priests from Qingxu Holy Land."

Song Rentou let out a cold snort.

"You snot-nosed brat, coward. The Holy Land of Qingxu is far away in Henan. Who knows how many more people will be killed by the time they arrive. If you're too scared to go, fine. We won't miss you."

Chen Yi's cold gaze fell upon Song Rentou.

"Your name is Song Rentou, and you truly live up to your reputation."

Song Rentou was stunned for a moment.

boom!

He was instantly consumed by rage!

"What did you say, kid? You're asking for it!"

"Major General Song, calm down! Calm down!"

Lei Zhen quickly tried to dissuade him.

Chen Yi said to Li Tianxia, ​​"I reserve my opinion. I can assist with whatever arrangements Director Li makes, but I am not responsible for the outcome."

This is the best he can do.

He knew about the Soul-Suppressing Banner; it was a common magical artifact in the cultivation world.

Righteous people use it to deal with evil cultivators who are like spirits, while evil cultivators use it to capture the souls of living people for cultivation.

Whether you take on others or others take on you depends on your abilities.

The thing underground in the valley of Yaojia Village could even isolate his divine sense, which shows how powerful it was. It's not certain that the Yan family's Soul-Suppressing Banner could subdue it.

Chen Yi didn't care; his innate true fire could suppress all Yin-type cultivators.

However, once that thing is released, it cannot be destroyed in a short time, and the surrounding people may suffer a catastrophic disaster.

Li Tianxia hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Then it's settled. Young Master Yan will return to the Yan family tomorrow to retrieve the Soul-Suppressing Banner. We'll enter the valley the day after tomorrow morning. Director Lei will be in full command of this operation."

"yes!"


Song Ren looked at Chen Yi with a defiant gaze in his eyes.

Chen Yi smiled speechlessly.

People like to feed kills, what can he possibly object to?

After the meeting ended, as everyone walked out of the conference room, Li Tianxia called out to Chen Yi.

"Major General Chen, your concerns are valid. Do you have any contingency plans?"

Both options make sense.

But the situation is urgent, and he must make a decision.

His choice of Song Rentou's proposal was not a rejection of Chen Yi's proposal, but rather a belief that Song Rentou's proposal could solve the problem more quickly.

Going to Qingxu Holy Land for exchanges would take several days round trip, and who knows how things might develop by then.

Chen Yi naturally understood Li Tianxia and said:

"Evacuate residents within a hundred miles of the area, increase medical resources, and be ready to provide treatment at any time."

"You... really think things are going to be serious?"

Li Tianxia looked at Chen Yi with deep eyes.

If an evacuation order is rashly issued, it will inevitably cause panic.

This should not be done unless absolutely necessary.

"It's better to be safe than sorry; what's underground is no ordinary thing!"

Chen Yi said solemnly.

Li Tianxia hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said:

"I understand. You can go back now. Don't take Major General Song's matter to heart; that's just how he is."

"We are all working for the country and its people; we hope Major General Chen will prioritize the greater good."

"I understand, goodbye!"

Chen Yi said, then turned and left the conference room.

Li Tianxia was worried that he was petty and would deliberately sabotage or hinder things when they were doing them.

He, Chen Yi, wasn't that bored.

Of course, it wasn't that shameless.

However, she didn't know whether others would find it boring and shameless.

As soon as I stepped out of the meeting room, Liu Xin was still waiting there.

"Dr. Chen, I'll take you home."

"it is good."

The two left side by side.

The two stood by the roadside after leaving the Special Investigation Bureau compound.

Upon seeing Chen Yi emerge, the two hurriedly came to greet him.
