……
After cleaning up the battlefield, the group did not stay any longer. Instead, they got on a helicopter and flew off into the distance. Soon, they were lost among the mountains.
Two days later.
The imperial capital, the headquarters of Nadutong.
At the top of the 49th floor, in an extremely empty conference room, there was a huge round table. At first glance, it was crowded with nearly a hundred people sitting at it.
They were dressed in different clothes and had different body shapes. Most of them were old, but there were also some young people, such as Zhang Chulan, Wang Ye, Zhuge Qing, and the younger generation of the Lu family...
"I haven't seen such a grand scene in many years."
An old man in plain clothes spoke slowly. He was the leader of the Three Guns Sect, a hidden sect from the northwest. He looked around and picked out anyone he liked, and they were all highly respected people in the world of extraordinary people.
"This time, under the invitation of the company, all the leaders of the famous and upright sects in the entire extraordinary world have gathered here, and no one is excluded. To be honest, I have lived for more than 70 years, but I have never seen such a scene." said an elder from Shenzhen Yuan Wing Chun.
Beside him, the current leader of Huode Sect said with a smile: "This is indeed my first time participating in such a grand event."
In such a situation, the company alone cannot leverage the power of the entire extraordinary world. Ultimately, the most crucial thing is the person from Longhu Mountain who speaks.
At this moment, the leader of the Huode Sect turned his gaze and fixed it on Zhuge Qing who was sitting at the round table. He smiled and said to Elder Ye beside him, "Elder Ye, I think you already know about what happened in Qinling Mountains the day before yesterday."
"The tomb of Wu Hou has been opened. I heard that the son of the Zhuge family has already mastered the legendary Samadhi True Fire. He is only the fourth person in the history of the Zhuge family... Tsk tsk, I think the Zhuge family will continue its glory for more than three thousand years."
Elder Ye whispered, "Yes, if you ask me, the current head of the Zhuge family is really good at calculating. It can be said that they killed many birds with one stone. They easily contacted the Taichu Zhenren. I, an old man, don't have such a blessing. It's only now that I can see the general situation clearly."
The leader of Huode Sect smiled and said, "It's not too late."
As he said this, he took one last look at Zhuge Qing, who was looking down with his head and squinting his eyes, as if he was still dozing off, and then he withdrew his gaze.
Not far away, Zhuge Qing, who was pinching the hole in the table with his fingers while listening to the wind singing, curled up the corners of his mouth slightly, and then his mind moved and the magic was dispersed.
Wang Ye, who was standing next to him, tilted his head and said with a chuckle, "I say, you love to listen to gossip so much and you are laughing so happily. You must have heard a lot of flattery this time."
Zhuge Qing rolled his eyes and said, "How can you talk like that? This Samadhi True Fire is something I worked very hard to obtain. I am the fourth person in history to do this. Do you understand its value?"
Wang Ye raised his eyebrows: "Then I am the only second person in history to comprehend Fenghou Qimen!"
Zhuge Qing then gritted his teeth and said, "Duel, let's duel tomorrow. I can't stand it anymore. I must severely punish you, you stinky bull nose."
Wang Ye laughed and clenched his fists under the table: "I'm afraid of you, let's duel..."
While everyone was making noise, the door was pushed open with a bang and several figures walked in. The whole place fell into silence in a very short period of time.
Then several voices came in: "Hey, Lao Zhao, this is your home ground, your company's place, why do you insist on letting me walk in front?"
Zhang Zhiwei politely declined and waved to Zhao Fangxu, who looked very attentive.
Zhao Fangxu had a big smile on his face, and laughed out loud, "Master, you are too kind. You are the North Star of the alien world, and you should lead us and walk in the front!"
As he said this, he glanced cautiously at Zhang Taichu, who was standing next to Zhang Zhiwei with a nonchalant look on his face, and swallowed nervously.
He originally wanted to let Taichu Zhenren walk in front, but the other party didn't buy into this so-called favor at all, and even raised his big golden palm, which scared him so much that he dared not speak anymore and instead launched an attack on the old Taoist priest.
Zhang Zhiwei smiled and did not refuse anymore. He walked ahead naturally. Zhang Taichu, who was beside him, also walked into the hall soon after.
Then in the next moment.
The Eighth of the Nine Lords, the Tang Sect, the Huode Sect, and the elders of various sects who were sitting at the front all stood up at the same time and bowed in greeting.
Tianshi Zhang Zhiwei returned the greeting, smiled and asked everyone to take a seat, then walked to his own seat.
Zhang Taichu, who was standing next to him, also walked to the main seat in the middle of the round table. He stood there and spoke directly: "Everyone, please ask Mr. Zhao to ask everyone to come over today. I want to reveal some news to everyone and set some rules at the same time."
Zhang Taichu spoke briefly and without pause, "I'm sure you all know something about what happened in Qinling a few days ago. The tomb of Wuhou appeared, a real dragon appeared, foreign mercenaries, and the Bihe Ninjas who disappeared seventy years ago have made a comeback for some reason..."
"I'm sure you've all heard a lot of these rumors. Next, I'll tell you why these Bihe Ninjas came, what happened in the tomb of Wu Hou, and the truth I found out in the inner scene."
At this point, the expressions of the more than one hundred people in the entire venue became solemn, and they all pricked up their ears to listen, afraid of missing the next words.
Zhang Taichu said: "It has been more than seventy years since the Jiashen Rebellion, but the disaster has continued to this day. The reason why I massacred Quan Xing and the fight that broke out on the Xilin Gol grassland a few days ago was also for this reason."
"There are always people who are still thinking about the Eight Wonders, and there are always people who are unwilling to let the truth be hidden. They have to follow the clues and bring up some Muggle stuff... Ha, you will not stop until the old man of the Wang family ascends to heaven."
Having said this, Zhang Taichu paused. The pressure that he emanated faintly made everyone's faces change and become more respectful.
"Then today, I will make all the truth public as you wish." Zhang Taichu spoke again.
Zhang Taichu said, and then continued: "The Eight Wonders represent eight kinds of extremely powerful strange powers. They appeared out of nowhere seventy years ago and were possessed by eight of the Thirty-Six Righteous Men. Since then, they have caused unrest in the alien world."
"I know that besides wanting to obtain the Eight Wonders, you are more concerned about the things hidden behind the Eight Wonders. You want to know what those eight people went through to realize this unprecedented magical technique."
"The thirty-six people headed by Wu Genshen naturally did not comprehend these extraordinary skills for no reason. These eight strange powers are actually derived from a more powerful technique - the dragon-making technique, which is the technique of becoming an immortal that has been secretly passed down since ancient times."
"Anyone who can see this dragon-making technique will have the opportunity to obtain all kinds of magical powers. Even those with mediocre qualifications can rely on it to leap over the dragon gate, ascend to heaven in one step, and reach the immortal realm in the dark... Tsk tsk, it sounds really attractive."
"And while I was in the inner scene, by coincidence, I have grasped more specific clues and contents of this immortality technique. Everyone, do you want to continue listening?"
Zhang Taichu said with a smile, his tone was neither salty nor bland, but it revealed a very domineering meaning, which made everyone present couldn't help but bend down slightly.
"How could this happen? I didn't use any magical powers at all. I just emitted the Qi naturally. How could it affect the Qi sea in my body?"
The leader of the Natural Gate had a horrified look on his face. He had been practicing Taoism for more than sixty years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. However, when he turned his head and noticed that all the elders looked the same, he immediately felt relieved.
He thought that it was the greed that emerged in his heart that he couldn't help but notice by Zhang Taichu. But now it seemed that the other party just naturally revealed a trace of aura and naturally suppressed them all.
The moment he heard about the dragon-making technique, he was not the only one who felt greed in his heart. Almost all the elders of the sects were excited at that moment.
Becoming an immortal, what an alluring word. As a human being, who wouldn't want to become an immortal, transcend the mundane world, have a long life and boundless magical powers?
However, looking back over thousands of years of history, there are very few people who have achieved immortality. In the past few hundred years in modern times, no one has been able to successfully ascend to immortality.
Judging from the current situation, the person in this world most likely to become an immortal is Zhang Taichu who is standing quietly on the stage!
Even in their eyes, the other party's natural aura and youthful appearance, in a sense, made him a land immortal!
So the current situation is very simple. A land immortal is standing there, clearly giving them no choice.
Anyone with a bit of common sense knows what to do.
"Everything in the world is the opposition of yin and yang. Since the dragon-making technique can allow mortals to become immortals in one step, it must have huge disadvantages that cannot be ignored. So I feel that I am not worthy of enjoying it." Zhuge Gong, the head of the Zhuge family, spoke first, with a smile on his face and a calm expression.
He was wearing a polo shirt, black shorts, and flip-flops. He looked more like a gangster than the head of the family, and he really had an aloof attitude.
When someone took the lead, the elders of various sects also spoke up and expressed their attitudes. They all refused and shared more inside information about the dragon-making technique, acting like they were obedient and afraid of getting into trouble.
Zhang Taichu saw this and smiled with satisfaction: "Since everyone has made a decision, don't regret it. Go back and tell all the little guys in the sect about this. The price of regret is quite high."
Everyone immediately nodded like chicks pecking at rice, looking extremely well-behaved. They didn't look like big guys at all, but more like children being taught.
Zhang Taichu raised his eyebrows and continued, "Okay, there's not much I want to say. I just want to take this opportunity to set some rules for everyone. It's good that you understand. President Zhao will announce some news to everyone later."
After saying that, he sat down by himself, crossed his legs and leaned back in the chair.
Zhao Fangxu on the other side stood up immediately like a spring, looking at the hundreds of big guys who were listening attentively in the audience, and felt rare excitement in his heart.
This grand unified scene before his eyes, was what he had been dreaming about for many years. Today, he finally got what he wanted!
Although he was borrowing the real person's power, Zhao Fangxu still felt a little happy in his heart. He realized how arrogant and happy Zhang Chulan was when he hugged the real person's thighs in front of him.
"Cough cough."
Zhao Fangxu coughed twice, and a projection appeared on the white wall behind him, which was filled with red-letter documents and statistical data.
He said: "During this period of time, the price the company paid for handling the Biyou Village and Qinling incidents can be said to be the highest in recent years, and all of this is inseparable from Yaoxing Society."
As soon as he finished speaking, a charming woman with short pink hair appeared in the projection on the wall. In her hand, she was holding a magical sword with purple aura.
"This person's name is Qu Tong. On the surface, she is the director of a real estate group and the president of the legal and compliant Yaoxin Newspaper. But in fact, the Yaoxing Society she controls is an extreme terrorist organization, even more so than Quan Xing... She has colluded with foreign mercenaries and the remnants of Bihe. In the battle at Qinling, she revealed a very dirty force..."
Zhao Fanxu said this with a solemn expression on his face. He looked at the enlarged demon sword in the picture and said, "The power released by this demon sword is different from the heaven and earth primordial energy cultivated by Taoist practitioners. It belongs to another system completely. It is negative, dirty, and filthy..."
"Once this kind of power is touched, it will be like a stinking rat living in a person's heart. It will continue to devour everything, devour the person's reason and spirit, and turn them into - a demon!"
As soon as these words were spoken, astonishment appeared on the faces of many old fellows in the venue. It was the first time they heard that besides the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, there was also a power that could enable people to cultivate and strengthen themselves.
But there were also many old fellows who stood up at the first moment, screaming, with disbelief in their eyes. They all stared at the magic sword on the screen, unable to take their eyes away.
As they remember, during the battle of Mianshan that year, Bihe Ren from Xiao Ri's side held another magic sword with the same effect.
"Eita's Hirimamaru?"
"Is that the same demon sword as Hirimaru?"
"How could it be possible? How could Qu Tong possess such a knife..."
The Tang Clan's great elder spoke in disbelief, his eyes revealing subconscious hatred towards the Bihe Ninjas.
Chapter 241: Confess and be lenient; Zhao Fangxu: Are you
Hearing the doubts of the Tang Clan's Grand Elder and seeing the confusion in the eyes of more bigwigs, Zhao Fangxu spoke in a deep voice and continued to explain.
He also learned the inside story from the old Taoist priest. When he heard it for the first time, he was also in disbelief and realized the seriousness of the situation!
As Zhao Fangxu explained, the faces of the big guys who had learned about the events of the Battle of Mianshan and the story of the demon Eita became visibly more solemn.
"As long as you touch the demon sword Hirumaru, you will be transformed into a demon, lose all reason, and become naturally bloodthirsty."
"The demon sword Sable can even affect people's rationality and beliefs from a distance, causing them to fall into the demonic aura and even have their own spiritual intelligence, which is difficult to eradicate... If it is allowed to develop, the consequences are simply unimaginable."
The big guys keenly smelled a hint of danger from it.
Although right now it is just a matter of a magic sword and it seems that it can be easily suppressed, it is a dangerous sign, an extremely dangerous signal - the mysterious force behind Qu Tong who possesses the magic sword!
"Such a dangerous thing has fallen into the hands of a person of unknown origin and pure evil. If left unchecked, it may cause a disaster and even spread beyond the alien world and subvert the entire society!"
Zhao Fangxu spoke slowly, and every word he said was sincere, without any intention of exaggerating.
The atmosphere in the venue also became heavier at this time, and all the bosses had serious expressions on their faces.
Sitting in the front row, Lu Ci, the head of the Lu family among the nine elders, fell into a brief trance the moment he saw the magic sword. His body could not help but tremble, and he was unexpectedly more excited than anyone else.
"Big brother..."
He had a bitter look on his face, and a young man's figure appeared in his mind. It was his biological elder brother, the eldest master of the Lu family back then.
The position of the head of the family should have been taken over by his eldest brother, but it was in the battle of Mianshan that his eldest brother fought against the demon Eita and died under the Hirumaru.
"Is the life or death of the demon Eita still unknown? Has there been no result after so many years? Where is the demon sword Zhimaru now, and what does everything have to do with Qu Tong?" The leader of the Natural Gate asked.
Zhao Fangxu sighed helplessly and said: "There is still no whereabouts. There were only a few survivors who witnessed the Battle of Mianshan that year. Everyone only knew that the eldest son of the Lu family died at the hands of the demon Yingta. I don’t know where Eita fled to in the end, Mugensheng also participated in the sniper attack on the ninja back then, so maybe Eita died in his hands.”
"As for the demon sword, its whereabouts are also unknown... And there is probably some kind of connection between Eita and Qu Tong. During the Qinling turmoil, she not only gathered more than 200 Yaoxing Society aliens and mercenaries from abroad... She even appeared as the leader of the remnants of the Bihei and launched a shattering attack."
"Alas, the Yaoxing Society has been growing under the company's nose for so many years without being exposed. A few days ago, it quietly infiltrated the company's jurisdiction and killed all the arrested Yaoxing Society aliens. It was so arrogant... I am ashamed of you all."
When these words were spoken, the eyes of the bigwigs present flickered, but they all spoke to comfort him. In their hearts, they also deeply realized how terrifying the Yaoxing Society was!
"Later, I learned from my mistakes and decided to do everything in my power to dig out Yaoxing Society, a cancer growing on the land of our country. However, in just a few days, I encountered obstacles one after another..."
"It's strange to say, I've been working here for so many years and I've never encountered such a tough opponent. It's like the Yaoxing Society has a pair of eyes in my office. It can always foresee the company's next move."
As he spoke, Zhao Fangxu raised his head and glanced meaningfully at the senior executives of Nadutong who were sitting on the other side of the round table. He said in a deep voice: "What I am worried about is that this problem not only occurred outside, but also occurred within the company. Internal strife is the most terrifying thing."
As soon as these words came out, the big guys present were stunned, and they immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Fangxu's words. They clearly felt that there was an insider in the company, colluding with Qu Tong, and the status of the other party must be not low, even right there. Among the core senior executives!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but cast their gazes towards the company's senior executives who had been sitting silently at a corner of the round table, with scrutiny in their eyes.
Several directors and senior assistants all looked very embarrassed. They did not expect that in this meeting, their own director would suddenly point the finger at the company and at them.
A middle-aged man with a crew cut and wearing a black suit was sitting there. He had a gloomy face. He slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying, "Zhao Fangxu, what do you mean by this? Such a big thing happened in the company. Have you told us? Do you have any substantial evidence? Even if there is a problem in the company, it can be solved internally. What are you going to say in front of someone like this?"
He questioned Zhao Fangxu who was standing in front of him word by word in a tough and vicious tone.
Zhao Fangxu's throat rolled, and he responded after a brief silence: "Because there is not enough accurate information pointing to one person, and it is just a guess on my part, so I..."
Vice Chairman Bi Youlong slammed the table again and sneered, "It's just a guess, but you bring it up on the table, especially in such an important occasion. Chairman Zhao, are you confused?"
Zhao Fangxu was about to respond when Zhang Taichu, who was sitting next to him with his legs crossed, spoke first:
"I suggested this to Director Zhao. As the person with the highest position in the company, can't he even decide on this?"
"Why, do you have an opinion?"
The voice was light but extremely clear, and carried with it a strong sense of oppression, which made Bi Youlong, who had originally held his head high and straight, suddenly hunch over, and he sat down heavily on the stool with a thud, making a dull sound of collision.
A large bead of sweat appeared on his angry and ferocious face. Even though he exerted all his energy, he still couldn't resist the Taoist's contemptuous glance.
The big guys who were watching more closely around him were even more shocked, and they clearly sensed the thin layer of light golden Qi lingering around Zhang Taichu.
Although the airflow was extremely thin, it revealed a terrifying sense of oppression. It did not win by quantity, but by the difference in levels, which was an essential difference!
Bi Youlong was suppressed in his seat, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word.
But when he saw clearly the gazes coming from the big guys around him, he gritted his teeth and refused to lose face like this, so he turned his gaze and glared fiercely at the young Taoist on the stage.
