High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Chapter 57 Undercurrents Rise, Chen Tianling Volunteers!

Faced with this situation, Chen Yuan did not alert the enemy.

His gaze lingered on the lieutenant for less than a second before he looked away and nodded with a normal expression.

"Um."

The lieutenant respectfully stepped aside and watched Chen Yuan and his party pass by.

His posture was impeccable.

Stand upright, look straight ahead, and show the respect due to a superior.

He only looked away when Chen Yuan's figure disappeared around the street corner, then turned around and continued leading his patrol.

His steps were steady, and his expression was natural.

But in that instant when he turned around, a subtle, unsettling glint flashed deep in his eyes.

That unusual sight vanished in an instant, unnoticed by anyone.

......

Chen Yuan walked along Changning Street, calmly observing the surrounding street scene.

But what he saw through the Eye of Void Breaker had already stirred up waves in his heart.

Luodu City, the heart of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The headquarters of the Dragon Martial Division is located in the most heavily guarded place in the country.

Even this place has been infiltrated.

Even mid-level officers within the Dragon Martial Division were taken into custody.

What about other places?

Jingzhou, Pingzhou, Xuzhou, Xiyu Prefecture...

How many such "people" are lurking in the shadows throughout the entire Great Xia Kingdom?

A cold glint appeared deep in Chen Yuan's eyes.

These alien races not only infiltrated, but they also hid so well.

If he hadn't obtained the Eye of Void Breaking by signing in today, he wouldn't have been able to discover it at all.

There are seven on one street.

How many cities are there in the entire city of Luodu?

How many parts does the entire Great Xia Dynasty consist of?

Just thinking about this number sends chills down your spine.

These alien races have infiltrated to this extent; there must be some earth-shattering conspiracy behind them.

Chen Yuan stopped in his tracks.

His face showed no emotion, but he was already making quick calculations in his mind.

It's definitely not a coincidence that so many people have been possessed and controlled.

There must be an organization or source behind this.

We must find out the truth as soon as possible!

"Walk."

Chen Yuan flashed and headed towards the headquarters of the Dragon Martial Division.

Without hesitation, Chen Tianling and the other eleven Holy Dragon Guards followed closely behind.

Twelve figures flashed across the sky above Luodu City, moving so fast that pedestrians below didn't even notice them.

......

Dragon Martial Division Headquarters.

At the main entrance.

A team of fully armed elite warriors is on guard duty.

Upon seeing Chen Yuan and his group descend from the sky, the leading martial artist was initially taken aback, but his expression changed and he quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Chief Chen! I'll report this immediately..."

"Need not."

Chen Yuan raised her hand to interrupt him.

"I'm here to take care of something; I don't need to bother anyone else."

The martial artist was taken aback, but seeing Chen Yuan's expression, he wisely shut his mouth and did as Chen Yuan said.

Chen Yuan strode into the headquarters and went straight to a separate command room.

This is the office area reserved for the head of the Honors Division; usually only the cleaning lady comes here.

Even the cleaning lady came more often than he, the honorary head of the company.

Close the door.

Chen Yuan sat down in the chair.

The shadow on his shoulder finally couldn't hold back any longer.

It used its divine sense to transmit its voice, its tone full of doubt: "Boss, what's wrong? You've been acting strange since just now."

Chen Yuan did not hide anything and used his divine sense to tell You Ying everything he had just seen on the street.

Upon hearing this, Youying felt a shiver run down her spine.

"What?! Those people are possessed and controlled by an alien race?! Even the Dragon Martial Division's men have been affected?!"

It almost cried out, but Chen Yuan glared at it and stopped it.

"Boss, this...this is too terrifying!" Shadow's voice trembled.

"How did these alien races manage to infiltrate here? And how did they manage to hide so well?"

Chen Yuan didn't speak.

He raised his hand and tapped the Holy Venerable Token to directly connect to Zhou Qing's communication.

The call was connected very quickly.

A light screen popped up, and Zhou Qing's resolute face appeared on the screen.

The background is the command room of the Demon Suppression Fortress in the Western Regions, with monitoring screens and strategic maps hanging on the walls.

He had a faint smile on his face and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Director Chen, what brings you to contact me today?"

Chen Yuan skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"Chief Zhou, something has happened."

Zhou Qing's smile vanished instantly.

He knew Chen Yuan too well. Anything that could make this man utter the words "something happened" was definitely not a small matter.

"What is it?"

Chen Yuan recounted in detail what he had discovered on Changning Street.

An ordinary person possessed and controlled, a lieutenant officer from the Dragon Martial Division, a black aura seen through by the Eye of Void Breaking...

Every word felt like a pebble hitting Zhou Qing's heart.

Zhou Qing's expression grew increasingly grim.

His expression completely changed after Chen Yuan finished speaking.

I wasn't shocked, I was terrified!

A chilling fear!

"Chief Chen... are you sure?"

His voice sounded a little strained.

"I'm sure." Chen Yuan nodded. "My abilities won't fail me."

Zhou Qing fell silent.

He knew Chen Yuan wouldn't joke about something like this.

If what Chen Yuan said is true, it means that a foreign race he has never been aware of has silently infiltrated the heart of Great Xia!

Even the middle management of Longwu Division have been taken into custody.

What about the higher-ups? What about the other departments? What about the entire Great Xia?

If Chen Yuan hadn't discovered this, and the day these alien races felt the time was right and bared their fangs... Great Xia would have suffered an immeasurable blow!

Zhou Qing took a deep breath to suppress the chill in his heart.

"Chief Chen, we owe you a great debt this time."

His voice was a little hoarse, but it was full of genuine gratitude.

"If you hadn't discovered it, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Chief Zhou, there's no need to stand on ceremony with me. Let's discuss how to resolve this."

Zhou Qing nodded and quickly got into the zone.

After some discussion, the two quickly reached an agreement.

First, don't alert the enemy.

The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; we still do not know the number, origin, or purpose of these alien races.

Taking action rashly will only alert the enemy and allow the big guy hiding deep inside to escape.

Second, conduct a covert investigation.

First, we need to find out how many people have been controlled, where the problem originated, and what is manipulating things behind the scenes.

Third, after investigating thoroughly, we will strike swiftly.

Once we have a complete grasp of the situation, we will seize it all with the fastest speed and the strongest force!

"The situation here at the Demon Suppression Cave is very stable." Zhou Qing glanced at the monitoring screen behind him.

"Ever since you killed the Netherworld Demon Lord and left behind two thousand top-grade spirit crystals to reinforce the seal, the demons inside have been very well-behaved and haven't made a sound."

"I will set off immediately and quietly return to Luodu. I will leave things to my deputy to keep an eye on things here."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay. Contact me when you arrive."

Communication ended.

......

Chen Yuan put away the Holy Venerable Token and stood up. Chen Tianling, who had heard the whole thing, stepped forward and clasped his hands in a salute.

"Boss, let the Holy Dragon Guard handle this mission."

His tone was calm, but his eyes held a hint of eagerness.

They, as saints, have always served as protectors.

Although powerful.

But opportunities to truly stand on one's own are few and far between.

This covert investigation mission will be a perfect opportunity to prove their capabilities!

Chen Yuan glanced at him and raised an eyebrow.

"You want to take it?"

"Yes." Chen Tianling didn't waste any words.

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment.

The Holy Dragon Guards are already strong enough; what they lack is experience.

This mission is important but not dangerous, because it is just an investigation, not a direct confrontation.

Moreover, with him and Zhou Qing keeping an eye on things, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Alright, I'll leave this to you."

Chen Tianling's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Boss!"

Chen Yuan waved his hand, signaling him not to rush.

"However, you need to have this ability first."

A faint golden light flickered in his eyes.

Eye of the Void, open!

This time, it's not about seeing through the disguise, but about sharing.

Chen Yuan raised his hand.

A pale golden ball of light condensed at his fingertips. The ball of light was not large, but it contained the special energy of the Eye of Void Breaking.

He flicked his finger and the ball of light exploded.

It transformed into eleven tiny golden rays, disappearing into the eyes of Chen Tianling and the other eleven Holy Dragon Guards!

All eleven people shuddered simultaneously, feeling a slight burning sensation in their eyes.

A moment later they opened their eyes.

The world has changed!

"This is..." Chen Tianling's pupils contracted slightly.

"A portion of the abilities of the Eye of the Void," Chen Yuan said calmly, withdrawing his hand.

"It can help you see through those who are possessed and controlled."

"As long as there is an aura of a foreign race in their body, you can tell at a glance."

"However, the duration is limited, about a week. Within a week, we will investigate everything that needs to be investigated."

"Don't force yourself if you can't do it. Leave it to me."

Chen Tianling took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

"Understood. We'll find out the truth within a week!"

Chen Yuan looked at him and added another sentence.

"Remember, only investigate, try not to take action, and if you discover anything, don't alert them. Just write down the target."

"Once Chief Zhou arrives, you will cooperate with him in his actions."

"Yes!" Chen Tianling clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

The figures of the Holy Dragon Guards quickly disappeared from the surroundings.

......

at the same time.

Luoyang University of Technology, Medical Room.

Jiang Fan lay on the bed with his eyes closed, breathing steadily.

His injuries have almost fully healed.

The physique of a Martial Venerable in the early stages has a recovery speed far exceeding that of an ordinary person.

But he was not in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital.

A student who was being hunted down by an eighth-tier alien race and was critically injured was discharged from the hospital just a few days later, looking lively and energetic. This was too eye-catching.

So he continued to lie there, coughing occasionally and occasionally showing a weak expression.

They acted very seriously.

He had his eyes closed, but his mind was already planning his next move.

The sunlight streaming in through the window fell on his young face.

His face was calm and weak, showing no signs of anything amiss. No one knew that the soul inside this body had been replaced.

Outside the medical room.

The sound of nurses' footsteps and students' laughter could be heard in the corridor.

Business as usual.

But undercurrents have already begun to stir...
