How can there be such a strong superpower?

Xia Yue rose from the ground, and in a flash, his figure disappeared.

Old Li was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

A huge sonic boom...suddenly resounded through the mountains!

far away.

A white line, whose identity could not be seen clearly, suddenly broke through the clouds, fell from the sky, and fell into the basin in the blink of an eye.

The moment the white line falls.

Among the mountains, it seemed as if all sounds had disappeared.

Followed by.

Half a second later.

The circular air wave suddenly exploded and swept outward.

A loud noise reached Lao Li's ears.

He witnessed with his own eyes the basin between the distant mountain ranges suddenly collapse, leaving a huge crater like a meteorite impact!

The mountains tremble!

A powerful gust of wind hit.

Old Li staggered and fell to the ground.

He struggled to stand up, looking at the magnificent scene in the distance and feeling the mountain still shaking under his feet.

There was silence for a long time.

It really is... an earthquake.

It wasn't until Ah Yue reappeared beside him that he reacted and said through gritted teeth, "I believed your lies..."

"Relax, the vibration will stop soon. It won't travel far."

Ah Yue supported him and led him down the mountain, saying, "Let's go, it's time to go back... I still owe someone a thank you."

"..."

Old Li was helpless. He looked back and saw a deep pit as big as a football field in the middle of the basin. He couldn't help but sigh.

Giant Ant...

It is indeed the purest authority.

But the question is...how can this be resolved?

He smiled bitterly, turned around and looked at Ayue.

A Yue pretended not to notice his gaze.

The two gradually moved away.

And behind them.

In the basin, in the deep pit.

Countless billowing black mists began to seep out from the ground.

However, it seems that these black mists cannot stay outside for long. As soon as they appear and come into contact with the sunlight, they begin to twist violently like a living thing, and then evaporate and disappear.

This process lasted for seven or eight minutes.

Finally, the black mist stopped seeping from the earth, and the shaking mountains returned to calm.

But next second.

In the center of the deep pit that A Yue had smashed out... the soil that was originally completely compacted was suddenly cut apart like a piece of tofu and flew into the air.

Then, a figure staggered to his feet.

He was an old man who was very old and skinny, almost to the point of being skin and bones.

He was hunched over, his eyes were cloudy and dim, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of life, and he looked gloomy.

Like a... living dead.

"You won't even let me survive..."

The old man looked at the direction where A Yue left and asked tremblingly.

Expected.

Got no response.

So the old man slowly raised his hand and pointed in the direction where A Yue left.

But soon... he put his hand down again.

A Yue is too young.

And he... is too old.

This time, Xia Yue chose to break his last life-saving eye... He was telling him clearly that he could either fight or enjoy his last moments and then die.

And he was afraid...

He was afraid that he was no match for the young man, and he was afraid of death.

"Why……"

The old man slowly lowered his head and looked at his withered arms, a look of pain on his face: "Why... am I afraid?"

Yes.

Why would I be afraid of a young man in his early thirties?

Obviously the spirit in my body is still surging!

Obviously I have never been so powerful!

But why...why do I age so quickly? Why does the body fail to hold on first?

The old man looked at his withered arm, the pain on his face gradually turning into resentment. He raised his head again and suddenly roared, "Xia Yue! I may not have made any contributions, but I have worked hard! Why can't you help me? Why can't you let her help me?! You even want to kill me!!!"

“Tian Ce! Tian Ce!! Before the Tian Ce Mansion was established, who did you think was maintaining order? Who did you think was there?!”

His not-so-loud voice echoed.

But still no response.

"..."

The old man gasped and suddenly calmed down.

He slowly straightened his hunched back, closed his cloudy eyes, and murmured, "Pengcheng... Pengcheng... Xia Yue, since you're unwilling to give it to me, then I'll just go and rob it."

……

"You're so long-winded... You've lived for so many years, but you still don't understand that birth, aging, sickness, and death are the norm of life, right? It's fun to be an immortal, right? Who maintained order before the establishment of Tian Ce Mansion? If it weren't for you old asses, would Tian Ce Mansion be needed?"

A Yue glanced back impatiently, his tone gradually becoming agitated, and it looked like he even wanted to go back.

Old Li saw the signs and quickly pulled him back: "No, no, no, this place is too close to a densely populated area. Think about those people."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ayue took a deep breath and managed to calm down: "Forget it, let's go."

"Yeah, don't bother with that old ass."

Old Li breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Ayue and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."

The reason why it can still maintain balance.

On the one hand, people in the old era are aging.

Another aspect is that there is someone in the new era who can suppress them.

In fact, both are indispensable.

And one person fights against the entire old era.

This is not easy in any way...

"What are you talking about, Lao Li?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Yue couldn't help but smile: "When did you become so pretentious?"

"nothing……"

Old Li shook his head and looked forward again.

I hope nothing unexpected happens next time.

Chapter 39 Brother-in-law

"At 4:15 PM on April 12th, a 27 magnitude earthquake struck near Jianmei Mountain in eastern Jingchu, with a focal depth of 3.1 kilometers. Due to the relatively remote location of the earthquake, no reports of casualties or property damage have been received so far..."

At the entrance of Tiance Trading.

Chen Lusi was holding his cell phone, casually flipping through the news while waiting for Wu You.

About ten minutes later.

Wu You finally came down.

"Sorry for the long wait."

As soon as Wu You came down, he enthusiastically put his arm around Chen Lusi's neck and led him forward.

Chen Lusi asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly want to treat me to a meal?"

They had already finished the first day of training.

Before the end, Wu You suddenly said that she wanted to treat him to a meal...

This is why Chen Lusi is waiting here.

"Nothing, just want to keep in touch."

Wu You explained: "After all, we haven't sat down and had a good chat since we met."

Chen Lusi glanced at him and said hesitantly, "You're not treating me to a meal out of guilt or sympathy, are you? It's really unnecessary... and don't you do background checks when you recruit people?"

"If we have to do everything, what's the point of Kunlun?"

Wu You smiled and replied, "As for guilt, I wouldn't say... I really just want to sit down and talk."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi said nothing more and took the initiative to change the subject: "Is Kunlun a sister department?"

"Almost, but not brothers."

Wu You casually replied, "Tian Ce is the frontline operations department, and Kunlun is the second-line functional department. Their primary responsibility is to determine the location of Legend activations and assess threat levels. They also undertake miscellaneous tasks such as archiving the Huangquan Fragments. They don't have the power to issue orders, but they do have guidance and coordination powers, which is equivalent to administration and logistics."

"As for the frontline departments and functional departments, they naturally don't get along. The same is true for superpower organizations. The people of Kunlun think that the Tiance Mansion is a bunch of useless dogs waiting to die. Even a D-level alien realm can cause casualties.

The people in Tiance Mansion think Kunlun is a bunch of boastful idiots who always blindly follow Kiel's orders. Their intelligence is wrong eight out of ten times. They claim it's a B-level alien realm but insist on saying it's a D-level, and they're so stubborn.

"You could say they just dislike each other."

"That's why every year-end meeting of middle and senior management is so lively. I'll show you then."

Chen Lu thought for a moment and replied, "This... is really down-to-earth."

"The uncertainty of abnormal activity has led to a rather complex composition of personnel in both departments. Most members were ordinary people before becoming enablers. While their thinking may not be as high-level as that of the security forces, they are certainly more down-to-earth."

Wu You smiled and said, "Besides, I suspect the people above are very happy to see this situation, and may even be secretly fueling it. After all, corporatization is better than reversing course and allowing the two departments to evolve into some kind of 'sect'."

"Zongmen?"

"You can ask Ah Yue about this later. Why are you still talking about this after get off work?"

Wu You didn't continue talking. Instead, he squeezed his neck and said, "How about we talk about things that men like to talk about...? Have you had a hard time these years?"

"I don't like to talk about this."
