Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

Before the Battle of North Colley began, the jurisdiction of Trinity Gate was taken over by several other departments;

Since the island battle ended, it has killed over a thousand overseas superhumans, destroyed three cruisers, and nearly sunk the island. This level of superhuman monster is simply beyond the company's control.

Moreover, before taking action to confiscate the extraordinary skills, they needed to clarify with several other departments which party's work scope the Sanyi Sect currently belonged to.

“I support Chairman Bi’s idea. As long as we act decisively and treat everyone equally, those sects, even if they have grievances, will not dare to turn against us.”

Su Dong was the first to agree. As a witness to Zhang Zhiwei's battle with the Quanxing masters, she knew better than anyone how terrifying it could be for a superhuman to reach a high level of cultivation.

Not to mention that there was an assassin who was suspected to be an extraordinary person who shot Wang Ai from an unknown distance, allowing the Eight Extraordinary Skills to fall into the hands of these martial arts sects. The chaos in the future will only increase.

Huang Boren took off his reading glasses, patted his aching shoulders, and said in a slightly helpless tone.

"Fairness is easier said than done. Who will take responsibility for the Trinity Gate area?"

"If they agree to hand over the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, the recovery of the extraordinary techniques from other sects and families will be very smooth. But if they don't hand them over, who here would dare to turn against them? Other forces would then have a reason not to hand them over."

Huang Boren's words were true. From his perspective, let alone the old sect leader of the Sanyi Sect, even those disciples who were rumored to have cultivated to the third level of reverse rebirth could not be dealt with by the company's temporary workers and powerful permanent employees. No matter how much they bothered them, it would only add to the trouble. If the other party left overseas because of this, it would be a major loss to the entire world of supernatural beings.

"If all else fails, shall we go together? As long as we keep things in check, there's nothing we can't discuss."

Chairman Fei was optimistic. He had always heard that the Sanyi Sect had a good reputation in the martial arts world, and after investigating relevant past information, he was certain that the sect had not done anything outrageous.

If the stakes involved in this extraordinary skill are clearly explained, there should be hope of reaching an agreement.

"Talking? That's a bit difficult. Let me show you some data first."

"If they don't want to see us, we won't have the chance."

Huang Boren turned on his computer and projected the data. Soon, a data analysis chart that Erzhuang had collected from the dark web appeared before everyone's eyes.

“This…what is this?”

"How can it be...."

Everyone's pupils contracted sharply. In several blurry satellite photos, a hazy silver light could be seen, almost filling the entire sea of ​​clouds.

A high-definition satellite TV map is displayed in the center of the screen, with a silver-gray straight line connecting the two places, from the coastal area to North Colley Island in the southern Pacific Ocean.

"Distance 14280.96km".

"It took 3 minutes and 12 seconds."

"Hmm... This is data observed by certain forces. That guy from the Sanyi Sect has a single-person speed close to Mach 75. In other words, he has no fixed abode. If our negotiations break down, how do we confiscate the Eight Extraordinary Techniques?"

"Although the current leader of the Sanyi Sect is Wu Chengzhen, the Eight Extraordinary Techniques are of great importance. If we want to discuss them, we still need to talk to this senior."

Before anyone could respond, Huang Boren released another message:

"From July 14th to July 21st, many independent cultivators attempted to visit. Afterwards, the company caught several evil cultivators involved. After interrogation, we learned that there was an unknown magic array shrouding the area near the Sanyi Gate. Those inside could not come out, and those outside could not enter. Anyone who tried to force their way through the mountain was turned to ashes."

The board members remained silent, and the heads of each district were at a loss.

“I remember that Lu Jin, one of the Ten Elders, is also a disciple of the Sanyi Sect. Why don’t we start with him?”

One of the directors, who was wearing glasses, said this.

"..."

Bi Youlong disagreed, and suddenly looked at Xu Si beside him:

"Feng Baobao was brought back by them before. You had contact with the former leader of the Sanyi Sect. Why don't you go?"

"Should I go and negotiate?"

Xu Si's eyes widened, and he was immediately in a dilemma. He didn't dare to do this either; his legs had gone weak when he went there last time.

Not to mention, he, Xu San, and Bao Bao still owed the other party a favor, so it was really inconvenient for them to show up.

"Since it's difficult, let's put it off for now. We can start by targeting other sects and families. I'll use this time to ask those people which side the Sanyi Sect is currently under."

Chairman Liang values ​​efficiency. He looked around at everyone, about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted.

"Jingle Bell!!"

"Jingle Bell!!"

The phone, which had been placed on the conference table beforehand, rang. Huang Boren reached out and took it, listening to the latest news from his informant before hanging up a dozen seconds later.

"Gentlemen, the Celestial Master's Mansion has handed over the Heavenly Scroll and the Source of Qi, which are now held by the Quanzhen School's Sui Mountain, Hua Mountain, and Nanwu Schools..."

"In addition, the Feng family's spirit-binding and spirit-summoning techniques have also been returned."

He paused, then said in a complex tone:

"Also, the Quanzhen factions, including Longmen, are going to discuss the ownership of their unique techniques with the company. The abbot of Baiyun Temple and the former head of Sanyi Sect have spoken, and the latter has expressed his willingness to return all the techniques, provided that an agreement is reached with the company. If the company agrees, he will return them. It seems... someone in our company has spoken with him?"

"You agreed so readily?" Everyone was surprised.

"Ah."

Huang Boren nodded in confirmation. He glanced at Xu Si and asked meaningfully, "Was it your Uncle Zhao who went to talk to him? Or was it Xu San?"

"Oh... I can't hide it from you, it was my uncle who went to talk to him... He's about to be reinstated, isn't he?"

Faced with the many gazes that suddenly gathered around him, Xu Si felt slightly uneasy and had no choice but to recount the whole story.

Logically speaking, this was against the rules, but it inadvertently relieved several directors. Their eyes lit up, and they all thought of a way to reclaim the extraordinary skill.

"Okay, that was a good talk."

Huang Boren did not pursue the matter further. He smiled faintly and said, "Then, next, it's time for us to communicate with Quanzhen."

"If we can persuade Quanzhen to store the Eight Extraordinary Techniques in the company for safekeeping and allow them to select disciples to practice them periodically, then there is room for negotiation."

"But...would Quanzhen agree?" Ren Fei from Huazhong University of Science and Technology wondered.

“We have no choice but to agree.” Chairman Su further explained, “As for what that person from the Sanyi Sect said about respecting our position, I roughly understand what he meant.”

"He doesn't actually care about who owns the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. He's just worried that if they're released, it will cause a fight among the extraordinary people, which could indirectly or directly lead to ordinary people being implicated and causing innocent deaths. In the end, there might be some kind of karma or sin. I don't understand the descriptions and definitions of this, but it might affect their cultivation to some extent."

"I agree with the first half of Chairman Su's statement, but the second half makes him seem petty about that old sect leader. Killing is the most serious sin. If he cared about that, he wouldn't have done such a thing on North Kolai Island."

Huang Boren breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his back:

"Judging from the current situation, he is willing to cooperate with our work, which makes things much smoother."

"I'll mention it briefly: we'll split into three teams for the next operation."

"One team is responsible for collecting the extraordinary skills of the Wang and Lü families..."

The words were barely out of his mouth when Huang Boren changed his mind:

"Forget it, the Lü family is a bit troublesome. They are of bloodline inheritance, so we can't just detain hundreds of them all at once. Let's deal with the Wang family's problem first."

"The second team is responsible for clarifying the jurisdiction of the Sanyi Gate with the neighboring department, and at the same time, coordinating with the Sanyi Gate and Quanzhen."

"The third team is responsible for thoroughly investigating the attack by Zhou Sheng of Wudang. First, we will bring the surviving witnesses back to the company for protection."

"Each team will be staffed with two directors, two area managers, two temporary workers, and several permanent employees. Is that alright?"

After Zhao Fangxu was suspended from his post, the person with the most influence in the company was the acting chairman, Huang Boren, and his arrangements were approved by everyone.

"What about Chen Duo and Feng Baobao's situation? How should it be handled?"

Bi Youlong brought this up: "Chen Duo's remains were not found on Nathan's list of dead. Most importantly, the collar we installed earlier malfunctioned..."

"She is very likely still alive. According to the estimates from the Dark Fortress, her primal Gu is about to become uncontrollable. Once she appears in urban areas, there will be at least hundreds of deaths and injuries if ordinary people come into contact with her. It is still uncertain whether she has a strong desire for revenge. This matter cannot be taken lightly."

Many directors felt a chill in their hearts. Although Bi Youlong's words were unpleasant, they were something they had to be wary of.

"These are turbulent times, and I'm extremely busy."

"I will instruct Erzhuang to conduct a thorough search of the city surveillance cameras within the territory. See if we can spare some more people from the six districts, just five or six will do, to track down Chen Duo's whereabouts."

“Okay, understood, Chairman Huang.” The regional managers present all nodded in agreement.

"What about Feng Baobao?" Xu Si asked, still concerned.

"She underwent a check-up at the bunker, and there were no abnormalities in her physical or mental condition."

"She will be taken over by personnel from other departments after a while. I removed her temporary worker status this morning."

"Where will she go from now on?" Xu Si felt a pang of panic.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you this, Si'er."

"Everyone knows the arrangements now, right? Meeting adjourned."

Huang Boren did not waste any time. He and the two newly arrived directors got up and left their seats to prepare to talk with the leader and elders of the Quanzhen sect.

Chapter 296 Oh? I'm under your jurisdiction?

One o'clock in the afternoon.

When news of the attacks on the Chunyang and Qingjing sects reached Wudang, Zhou Meng was struck dumb. His face changed drastically, and he could not believe the testimony that his own brother had intercepted them on the way and killed 11 people.

With so many lives at stake and a foreseeable disaster looming, Zhou Meng sought confirmation from Zhou Sheng on his backup phone before the company's investigation order was issued.

"Brother, you killed someone?"

"Did you do the dirty work on the disciples of Chunyang and Qingjing? Those present said it was you. Wudang is really going to be dragged into this mess by you this time."

The message was sent, but there was no reply for more than ten minutes. It was as if the other party had vanished into thin air.

"......"

Zhou Meng didn't have time to waste any more time. He hid his phone and hurriedly left the secluded woods.

Ultimately, the first to arrive were two directors and several senior executives of the company, as well as a large number of employees of Nadutong.

As suspects in the murder, the leaders, Taoist priests, and disciples of Wudang were all interrogated separately.

On-site technicians also inspected their phones, recovering all data that had been intentionally or unintentionally destroyed in the past, and uploading it to a computer for automated keyword filtering.

.........

At 4 PM, the anomaly occurred again.

While the company split up to carry out its operations, the three Quanzhen sects that left the Celestial Master's Mansion were also robbed on their way back. It turned out that 12 evil cultivators of unknown origin had taken control of several disciples in advance, obtained different paths, and ambushed them. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides, resulting in heavy casualties.

The backup scroll of the Tongtianlu was forcibly taken away, and the three sect leaders and their sect elders each suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Huang Boren, who was still negotiating with the Quanzhen sect represented by Longmen Baiyun Temple, and the two new directors had a slight change in expression. The situation was getting more and more serious. The evil cultivators who had fled to various places were all vicious madmen. The company had been trying to wipe them out, but it was struggling to find any concrete clues. In just half a day, since the strange technique was returned, a total of five sects had been attacked.

Inside the meeting room at Baiyun Temple, the two sides had been deadlocked for nearly an hour, with neither side willing to back down. The elders from other factions who participated online could not accept the conditions proposed by the company; the company also repeatedly refused to let them directly obtain the Eight Extraordinary Skills, citing the high risks involved.

"Abbot, fellow Taoist priests, why don't you take a look?"

Huang Boren handed over the tablet, which displayed text reports and images of the scene being sealed off, showing the attacks on Huashan, Nanwu, and other sects.

"The skill is indeed incredible, and I understand your difficulties, but it also brings disasters that you cannot bear. So far, 24 people have died because of it."

Chairman Cheng and Chairman Liang, both experts in negotiation, also took the opportunity to exert pressure, with one playing the bad cop and the other the good cop.

"The harsh reality is that, in the eyes of those who covet you, you are just a piece of hot potato to be torn apart at will. The solution the company has provided for you takes this into account. It aims to protect you as much as possible, control the risks, and help you inherit the unique skills. It is not intended to permanently ban you from accessing them."

“If we allow you to acquire the Eight Extraordinary Skills, you will not be able to bear the responsibility for all the consequences that follow.”

"How will the company treat you then? Will they blame you for not listening to advice, or will they help you clean up the mess caused by your wrong choice? Rather than making things difficult for each other later, it's better to reach a cooperation agreement now."

The abbot of Baiyun Temple stared at the report on the tablet, his heart churning with turmoil, and a hint of gloom appeared between his brows. He had not expected that the madmen in the martial arts world would be so rampant, killing 24 of his fellow practitioners.

Can Longmen withstand such devastation?

The abbot of Baiyun Temple was unsure of himself.

The elders from other factions all turned ashen-faced, unable to contain their anger at the unexpected calamity befalling their own disciples.

However, negotiations continued, and their previous stubborn ideas were already crumbling. Their scattered sects were simply no match for the endless attacks.

Furthermore, the company's explanation may not be enough to gain their trust. Since they are using the excuse that the skills are risky and disrupt local order to prevent them from inheriting them today, they might use similar pretexts to prohibit them from practicing them in the future.

These seasoned veterans saw through everything, but it was to no avail. Given their current situation, constantly threatened by evil cultivators, it would do more harm than good to simply pocket their extraordinary skills.

They lack unparalleled martial prowess, and they don't know how many of their disciples will die.

After more than 20 minutes of negotiations, the abbot of Baiyun Temple and the senior members of many sects compromised in the face of promises from several directors.

They allowed the company to take over all eight extraordinary skills and required each sect to have a fixed number of training slots each year, and the company was not allowed to violate the agreement between the two parties under any pretext.

"There is no doubt about that. I hope our cooperation will be pleasant. Now that we have reached a consensus, you need to discuss the handover ceremony of the extraordinary skills with the Sanyi Sect as soon as possible."

Huang Boren reached out and shook hands with the abbot of Baiyun Temple, who, with mixed feelings, sighed softly:

"Okay, please provide some confirmation from the company at that time."
