A Watershed Major Event
"That's a bit too much. We should send someone to deliver a message and give them a warning," Qian An said, his expression serious and clearly not joking.
In the New Star, the conglomerates are not afraid of the Gray Blood organization and have enough confidence.
"What era are we living in? Why are they still using this kind of intimidation? What's the point of keeping this kind of organization around if we don't eradicate it?" Zhou Yun complained.
"Try to find connections and investigate the Gray Blood organization's branches, or even its headquarters. If their shameless assassinations become the norm, they will disrupt New Star."
Zhong Cheng spoke up in dissatisfaction, strongly suggesting that the Gray Blood organization be rooted out and that they should not be allowed to do whatever they wanted; it was a cancer!
Qian An didn't say much, because he knew that it would be difficult to completely eradicate the Gray Blood organization, as they were likely deeply connected to certain financial groups.
After greeting Wang Xuan, he hurriedly left to find out what was going on and, ideally, to have several parties take the lead in giving the organization a stern warning.
Soon, news came from Qian An. He said in a low voice that there were some problems this time. He had just inquired with some people and was told not to get involved!
"Little Wang, you need to be careful!" Qian An solemnly warned from the other end of the phone, as the situation was beyond his expectations.
He had barely opened his mouth, and hadn't even had anyone relay the message to the Gray Blood organization, when someone came to dissuade him instead. This was quite unusual.
Zhong Cheng shouted, "This is outrageous! What kind of place is New Star? It's a place where bloodshed and terror don't breed. The Gray Blood organization can barely survive as a mercenary group. But to send them to explore beyond the borders and openly carry out assassinations on New Star, delivering death warrants to their doorstep, is tantamount to courting their own destruction!"
Zhong Qing said, "They haven't openly targeted the conglomerates and large organizations of New Star, but they've done a lot of bad things to others. They've been around for a long time, so they've long had enough confidence."
Zhong Cheng was unconvinced and said, "Why not eliminate them? I think if all sides are truly determined to deal with them, they can be wiped out very quickly!"
"Naive!" Zhong Qing glanced at him and said, "They've grown bigger and stronger, what do you think is the reason? Do you know who they're doing the dirty work for? There must be a top-tier organization or related conglomerate supporting them!"
"Little Wang, wait for my news. I'll ask around to find out who's trying to stir up trouble." Zhou Yun was full of confidence before he left.
He felt that since Old Chen, as a superhuman, was able to wipe out a branch of the Gray Blood organization, if he found any clues, he could naturally continue to severely damage them.
However, as soon as he returned to his family, an elder gave him a stern warning: go back to your life of debauchery and indulgence, this is not something he should be involved in!
"Little Wang, I was just saying something harsh, but I got slapped in the face. My family wants me to stay away from this mess. It seems like some elders have sensed something fishy going on, and the problem is very serious!"
Wang Xuan frowned. This situation had actually made some people in the financial magnate wary, making him realize the crisis.
"You should leave quickly too. If something happens, I might not be able to take care of you," Wang Xuan said to the Zhong siblings.
"It's a pity that my great-grandfather is still unconscious, otherwise I would have asked him to say hello," Zhong Cheng said.
At present, the Zhong family is at a special juncture. As a super conglomerate, the operation of their entire system originally did not depend on any one person.
Old Zhong has now become a superhuman, and if he recovers, he will provide another form of support.
"We'll go and find out what's going on, and we'll let you know then. Take care."
Urged on by Wang Xuan, the Zhong siblings also left.
"Old Wang, quickly call Old Chen back." Qin Cheng spoke, his expression solemn. It seemed that a powerful force wanted to kill Wang Xuan, but in reality, it was mostly Old Chen they were after.
Ultimately, they are most likely targeting superhumans!
"Go back to Kaiyuan University. I believe this organization's target is me and Old Chen. Don't say anything more; you can't be of any help here. I'll wait for them to come to us and see what they've got!" Wang Xuan sneered.
Qin Cheng saw the situation clearly. Although he was worried, he still listened to his advice and left. His words would only become a burden and a hindrance.
He knew very well that Wang Xuan had reached a level on the path of cultivation that was beyond his comprehension. As a friend, his role was simply to help Wang Xuan handle various mundane matters in the world; as for the troubles on the path of cultivation, he was powerless to help.
Wang Xuan sat quietly. Things had indeed taken him somewhat by surprise. The other party wanted to take his life, and undercurrents were surging fiercely.
Even Qian An was advised not to get involved in this matter!
"The problem is very serious." Wang Xuan pondered. Either the Gray Blood organization has gone mad and leaked information to relevant parties, intending to fight to the death, so that everyone can smell the blood and anyone who reaches out will get splattered with blood.
Either there are super conglomerates or top-tier institutions emerging behind the scenes, making all parties wary.
If top-tier powers are involved, then the situation is indeed not optimistic.
While somewhat unexpected, it's understandable. The top powers controlling the Gray Blood organization represent the will of a segment of the major institutions and conglomerates within the New Star Group, and their aim is to target those with extraordinary abilities.
While some embrace the extraordinary, others remain conservative, still seeking control and refusing to allow exceptional individuals to emerge.
"In summary, this may appear to be an operation targeting me, but it could have far-reaching implications. It is a conflict and strangulation of the extraordinary by the conservative faction within the conglomerate."
Wang Xuan pondered deeply. If this were truly the case, it would indeed be a watershed moment!
If he and Old Chen can weather this storm and withstand the onslaught from the conservative conglomerates and large organizations, then in the future, superhumans should be able to coexist with those forces in the same era.
If they fail, certain top organizations and financial giants will become even more aggressive and will no longer allow such Supernatural Practitioner to break free of the "Iron Curtain" and escape their control.
They are the rule-makers, and have never allowed any individual who might potentially rise above them to exist.
Only those relatively enlightened tycoons are probably observing, neither participating, nor stopping, nor getting involved, waiting for this game to come to an end.
"Wang Xuan, hold on!" Old Chen called, but he didn't say much on the phone because he had already thought of everything that needed to be thought of.
If it really is a chaebol involved, with top-tier organizations supporting the Gray Blood organization behind the scenes, then communication and other means would be unreliable if they were to deal with the two of them, and they would most likely be under surveillance.
Old Chen frowned. This would be a bloody confrontation of extraordinary significance!
He has been receiving invitations recently and is currently in Yong'an City, which is slightly to the east and about 1,500 li away from Su City.
"Old Chen, take care. If anyone wants to take my head, they'll probably have to get rid of you first!" Wang Xuan warned in a deep voice.
That night, Wang Xuan received some messages from Zhong Cheng via Secret Language, revealing that a super conglomerate was behind this incident!
"As expected, a storm is brewing!" He thought to himself. If they weren't in a major city, someone might already be bombarding him and Old Chen with warships.
"It seems that some people really don't want extraordinary individuals to appear. Even if they have extraordinary power, they want to keep it under their control." Zhong Cheng warned him to be careful, as a terrible siege was imminent.
He was shocked because he had heard from his elders that there had been similar incidents in the New Arts, where two extremely serious spacecraft malfunctions had occurred in outer space, and it was highly likely that the spacecraft had "crashed".
No matter how powerful people in the New Arts Domain are, they do not have the ability to travel long distances and cannot freely travel between the Superstar universe and the New Star. They need to travel on the interstellar spaceships of major powers.
Currently, the people on the New Arts side should have bowed their heads; there is a mysterious and powerful force behind them making various arrangements.
Shortly afterward, Zhou Yun Secret Language told Wang Xuan some information about the Gray Blood organization, mentioning a possible stronghold.
That night, Old Chen also learned a lot of information through his connections. And, just at dawn, he abruptly left Yong'an City.
Then, he ventured into a mountainous area two hundred miles away and made a forceful move.
On that day, Old Chen destroyed one of the Gray Blood organization's strongholds with Supernatural Power!
The news caused a stir. The hunt for superhumans hadn't even begun, and Chen Yongjie had already taken the initiative? He was incredibly assertive!
That was a branch of the Gray Blood organization. He didn't know who told him about it, but he detonated the underground energy system and razed it to the ground.
After making his move, Old Chen disappeared immediately, using the dense forest to conceal his whereabouts, destroying some detectors, and quickly returning to the city.
If this were used to carry out a decapitation strike against a major power, the success rate would be extremely high!
The situation was unsettling for all parties, Chen Yongjie took the initiative, showing no intention of backing down.
Surprisingly, the Gray Blood organization was the first to jump out... to protest!
"Rumors! We did not issue a kill order against Wang Xuan. Someone is impersonating us and deliberately muddying the waters!" They were extremely indignant and denounced Chen Yongjie as an executioner.
Many people were taken aback.
Even Wang Xuan was quite surprised when he received the news. This matter had nothing to do with the Gray Blood organization? Were they dragged into this mess and were outsiders?
Old Chen would naturally not publicly admit that he had once again wiped out a branch of the Gray Blood organization; he denied it and expressed deep regret.
Soon, he asked Qian An to pass on a message to the relevant circles that there would be more than just three or five extraordinary individuals, and that more would appear in the near future.
"Whether you accept it or not, mythology is merging with reality. Even if someone kills me this time, other extraordinary beings will appear. This trend cannot be changed."
"What we need to do now is not to block, but to guide, to establish Supernatural Rule, and to maintain the necessary peace. The Supernatural Practitioner appear first are not lawbreakers or challengers, but rather the ballast stones for future stability. After consultation among all parties, the existing Supernatural Practitioner will do their part to protect the stability and tranquility of the New Star."
"In ancient times, humans and gods coexisted peacefully and stably. Now, with advanced technology, we can quickly kill immortals. It's natural that extraordinary beings and ordinary people can live together well..."
Old Chen rattled off a lot of things, asking Qian An to relay his words to various organizations and forces.
And on that very day, he suddenly appeared in Pingyuan City, hundreds of miles away, the home of the super-rich Qin Family, a move that sent shivers down the spines of all parties involved.
Qian An was startled and contacted him, advising, "Old Chen, stay calm. It's still uncertain whether the Qin Family wants to eliminate you. If you really take action against some of their people at this critical moment, it will cause a major incident. Everyone will be uneasy. Hunting down core members of top financial groups will trigger Major Earthquake, making all major powers worry and forcing them to stand against you and unite to eliminate superhumans!"
When Old Chen left Pingyuancheng that day, it was just a gesture; he didn't do anything else out of line.
But his arrival in Pingyuancheng this time still moved many people!
The next day, Qian An reminded Old Chen, "Yesterday, warships appeared in the sky above the Qin Family..."
Two days later, as Old Chen approached Su City, he was suddenly ambushed on the road!
"Little Wang, Old Chen is in trouble! You need to stay calm, don't panic, don't do anything rash. You can Extend Life, they won't kill you..." Qian An's urgent words came through the phone.
Old Chen... had an accident, blood splattered on the way! Wang Xuan's eyes immediately turned cold and deep, how could he not take action!
