“Yes~” Wang Gui took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
“According to reliable sources, things are not peaceful in Japan and the United States lately, and their special personnel seem to be planning to enter China. You guys better watch out~ That’s what you should be doing~” Zhou Tong’s aura flashed once again, but it was extremely sharp. The three men looked solemn and agreed in unison.
Chapter 854: The Mantis, the Oriole
"Among these people, there are supposedly some strange individuals, quite similar to cultivators. Shouldn't we get the Dragon Group involved to help?" Fan Xian asked cautiously.
"If it involves them, we'll deal with it then. If we can handle it ourselves, we'll handle it," Zhou Tong said calmly.
Wang Gui glanced coldly at Fan Xian, knowing that the Fan family had close ties with them, and that his master had supposedly had some fortuitous encounters in his early years, but all he got was a second-rate cultivation manual, which made him famous.
Fan Xian felt a chill run down his spine under Wang Gui's gaze. This woman was simply perverted, too ruthless and cold. But it was understandable; she was thirty years old and had never experienced anything between men and women. It would be strange if she wasn't perverted.
Shu Yi noticed the lewd look on Fan Xian's face, and a chill ran through him. "Hmph," he thought, "if you weren't a member of the Fan family, do you think you'd be qualified to join the Security Bureau? Everyone knows you offended Li Yang, that's why you're using your family connections and shamelessly clinging to the Security Bureau, wanting our protection. Why don't you seek your master's protection? It seems that so-called master is just using you and putting on a show."
Now your master is in grave danger. With Li Yang's help, Li Yang's master has also started cultivating. His previously stagnant realm has suddenly made great progress and is about to surpass Ye Gucheng. Ye Gucheng is now in dire straits and can hardly save himself. You must be having a hard time too.
Zhou Tong would not easily let the Dragon Group interfere. The Security Bureau was his own territory, used to handle special secular events. Even if the problem was serious this time, he would try to solve it himself. Once the Dragon Group's influence infiltrated the Security Bureau, or if some people at the top thought that the Security Bureau had no reason to exist, how could Zhou Tong survive?
They stared at Li Yang from the top of the building, discussing amongst themselves. Li Yang appeared to be lying motionless on the bed, but if Zhou Tong's cultivation level were high enough, he would have noticed that not far behind them, in a hidden corner, a small winged insect was quietly lying there, staring at them with a strange look. Its transparent wings were still trembling incessantly, radiating an aura that made it impossible to approach.
The instant it landed, insects and rats hiding in the shadows around the building trembled violently, collapsing to the ground and defecating. They were terrified. They possess many senses that humans lack, allowing them to perceive things that humans cannot without special instruments. Upon sensing this suddenly appearing, terrifying creature, they reacted immediately.
After discussing for a while, Zhou Tong and the others quickly leaped away. Suddenly, the small insect emitted a green light, which transformed into a young man with a mocking smile and a menacing glint in his eyes. Who else could it be but Li Yang?
"Trying to ambush me? You're too green. The Dragon Group? This is quite an interesting thing. I didn't expect cultivators to have such an organization in the world. It's understandable, though. Cultivators also need many worldly things, and obtaining them through the government is naturally much easier. It's like those ancient grand masters; they were quite capable, but in many matters, their own actions weren't very effective, so government intervention was the most suitable. Not joining the National Security Bureau is a complete disservice to them. It seems I need to be more careful. These people are ruthless; they've silently tricked me, sending the Dragon Group to deal with me." Li Yang muttered to himself for a moment, then a flash of azure light appeared, and he transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from the top of the building and returning to the dilapidated inn. He exchanged a glance with Li Yang on the bed in the room, smiled at each other, and then, with another flash of light, disappeared into Li Yang's body. The six-winged golden silkworm returned to Li Yang's dantian.
Li Yang sat up and looked out the window. It was as if nothing had happened.
"Are Japan and the United States going to get involved too? It seems they can't sit still anymore. Could it be because of Master's sudden strength and Ye Gucheng's sudden restlessness?" Li Yang sat on the bed, pondering with some confusion.
A strange number called his phone. Looking closely at the number range, Li Yang was startled – it was an international call. Damn, he'd never been abroad, and he had no relatives there. How could he be getting an international call? Could it be his master and the others? Or perhaps it was Card God Shura Dark? How were they doing after they returned to his master's place? He really missed them.
"Hello!" Li Yang said calmly.
"Hahaha... Guess who I am?" A burst of laughter came from the phone.
"Damn it, you bastard, Shura! You're still alive?" Li Yang laughed and cursed.
"Damn it, how can I die when you're still alive! You're really up to no good, aren't you? You've been causing trouble in Jiangnan City again lately, haven't you?" Shura said lewdly.
"How did you know?" Li Yang didn't hide anything and admitted it directly.
"Nonsense, our Hongmen is a global Hongmen, and China is part of the world. Of course, we have people in the country, but you just haven't noticed. And we've hidden it very well~" Shura said smugly.
"Damn it, you dare to spy on me!" Li Yang cursed.
"Tch—I wouldn't even glance at most people who would kneel and beg me. You should be grateful, kid," Shura scoffed.
"Hehe, I'm really honored~" Li Yang chuckled.
"Where are those two bastards?" Li Yang asked, referring to Card God and Dark.
"They were right there, and they even tried to steal my phone. Damn it, they have their own phones but don't use them, they just steal mine! What a bunch of jerks!" Shura cursed angrily.
"That's right, wouldn't it be a waste of phone bills to call yourself?" Li Yang chuckled, one could imagine the joyful scene of the three guys joking around together.
"Tch~ Just like you, you scumbag~" Shura said unhappily.
"How is Master?" Li Yang asked excitedly, full of anticipation. He wondered if his master had broken through the limits of martial arts, surpassed the acquired realm, and entered the innate realm, where he could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper himself and further improve.
"Sect Master? The Sect Master got the incantation you gave him and was as excited as a child. He went into seclusion and said he wouldn't come out until he made a breakthrough. He can't be a master who's not as good as you~" Card God finally succeeded and snatched the phone to speak.
"That's right, we've all made considerable progress. We're all now experts in the Transformation Realm, even Grandmasters. Given time, we'll soon reach the Core Formation Realm or even higher. Hehe, then Ye Gucheng will be nothing!" Dark laughed smugly on the phone.
"No action yet?" Li Yang asked in surprise.
Chapter 855: It's for Real
"No action yet?" Li Yang asked in surprise.
"No, the sect leader suspected Ye Gucheng's martial arts were somewhat strange from the beginning, but couldn't figure it out until he saw the incantation you gave him. It turns out that what Ye Gucheng practiced wasn't just a simple martial art; his 'Xiaju Feisheng Jing' was actually a cultivation technique. It's just that he only obtained a fragment, which is why his cultivation was so incongruous. For so long, he only reached the peak of his physical body and couldn't break through to the innate realm," Dark said in a startling way.
"Really? I never imagined someone's fate could be more miraculous than ours. If he had obtained the entire text, wouldn't he have been incredibly powerful and swept across the world by now?" Li Yang exclaimed. With Ye Gucheng's ambition, he was certainly capable of doing such a thing; otherwise, he wouldn't have called himself a god and established the Heavenly Dao Alliance to represent the will of Heaven.
"Yeah, that son of a bitch has huge ambitions. But according to reliable intelligence, that old bastard seems to have had a new opportunity and is currently in seclusion. I wonder if he's had some new insights or breakthroughs." Card God said somewhat displeased.
"It's hard to say. The world situation is quite delicate right now. It seems that Japan and the United States are also getting restless and want to interfere in their domestic affairs. Those reclusive cultivators are gradually surfacing. It's hard to guarantee that he won't be noticed by someone and have new techniques passed on to him," Li Yang said, frowning as he speculated.
"It's hard to say. It seems we were all frogs in a well before. Only now do we realize that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people. Now we can be considered part of the cultivators, right?" Shura said with a little pride.
"The lowest level, not even considered respectable~" Li Yang mocked.
“If it’s not mainstream, it’s at least borderline, right? It’ll be mainstream sooner or later,” Dark said.
"Not bad, you'll get into the mainstream sooner or later. Keep up the good work!" Li Yang comforted him like a child.
"The situation is not good now, you have to be careful, don't be taken advantage of, you are still in danger, many people can easily crush you~" Card God reminded Li Yang.
"Don't worry, I was born in the Year of the Cat. I'm tough, tougher than a cockroach. I have nine lives!" Li Yang laughed and boasted.
Shura chuckled and said, "You're just bragging. Be careful not to blow your mouth out of shape!"
"Get lost, you three bastards! I'm hanging up now." Li Yang pretended to hang up the phone. He already knew about his master's situation and indirectly received information about Ye Gucheng. This call was about enough. The three bastards were all safe and sound, and he had made a breakthrough, which was gratifying.
"Damn, Li Yang, you're so heartless, leaving us so cruelly!" Dark said emotionally.
"Do you want me to fuck your asses? Wash them clean, and I'll satisfy you~" Li Yang said with a lewd smile.
