Hidden Mysteries Corps, as one of the three core departments of Azure Prefecture Demon Suppression Division, is responsible for intelligence analysis, strategy formulation, and the archiving of various confidential files.
It can be said that this is the "brain" of the entire Demon Suppression Division.
Those who can serve here are all thoughtful and good at planning.
They may not be the strongest in combat power, but when it comes to playing tricks and intrigues, they are definitely top-notch existences.
When Lin Feng, this "vulgar warrior", became their nominal highest officer in a way that can be called airborne.
The whole atmosphere of Hidden Mysteries Corps has become extremely weird.
On the surface, everyone is respectful and speaks of "Mr. Lin".
But behind the scenes, there is an undercurrent surging.
From the bottom of their hearts, they looked down upon this reckless man who relied on "one cut and a second" to get to the top.
In their view, Lin Feng is just a tool used by the commander to beat Master Hidden Mysteries and push it to the stage to attract firepower.
On the same day, Lin Feng officially took office.
In Hidden Mysteries Corps's meeting hall, dozens of officials wearing silver-edged black robes were already waiting here.
The leader is an old man over fifty years old with a goatee and shrewd eyes. His name is Chen Mo. He is Master Hidden Mysteries's confidant and Hidden Mysteries Corps's second-in-command.
When Lin Feng came in, everyone was very enthusiastic.
But it's not just the perfunctory contempt flashing through his eyes, it's evident.
Chen Mo came forward with a smile on his face, holding a pile of files like a small mountain in his hands.
"Mr. Lin, you are new here, so you are probably not familiar with the affairs of the camp. Here are all our rules and regulations, personnel transfers, and various red tapes at Hidden Mysteries Corps. Please go through them first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the procedures as soon as possible to facilitate future work."
These words may seem respectful, but in fact they are giving Lin Feng a kick.
Let alone the mountains of files, it would probably take ten days and a half just to read through them.
This is how they want to tell Lin Feng.
Here, we have the final say.
You, a layman, want to replace Master Hidden Mysteries?
Daydreaming!
However, Lin Feng didn't even glance at the pile of files.
He just walked to the main seat calmly, sat down carelessly, glanced at all the officials present with ulterior motives, and spoke calmly.
"I don't care what rules and procedures you had before."
"From today on, my Lin Feng rule is that I have no rules."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.
Everyone looked at him as if he were a fool.
Chen Mo was so angry that his beard stood up. He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lin, what do you mean? There is no rule without rules. I, Hidden Mysteries Corps, am today thanks to..."
"Shut up."
Lin Feng interrupted him coldly, "I'm not interested in listening to you talk about history. I just want to ask, who among you is the best at fighting?"
This sudden question confused everyone.
They are playing tricks on their brains, are you competing with them with fists?
Chen Mo's face turned the color of pig liver. He prided himself on being very resourceful, but this was the first time he encountered such a guy who didn't play by the rules at all.
"Master Lin, we Hidden Mysteries Corps..."
"I asked, who can fight best."
Lin Feng's voice is not loud, but it carries an unquestionable majesty.
The terrifying pressure belonging to the Half-Step Divine Sea Realm, like an invisible tide, instantly enveloped the entire hall!
Among the officials present, the one with the highest cultivation level is True Qi Realm. How can he withstand such pressure?
Each one of them felt as if their chest was being pressed by a huge mountain, they had difficulty breathing, and their faces turned pale.
Chen Mo was the first to bear the brunt. His legs went weak and he almost knelt down on the spot.
"Now, let me ask again."
Lin Feng's eyes became cold.
"Who can fight best?"
In the end, it was Chen Mo who squeezed out a few words through his teeth with difficulty.
"Yes... I am a subordinate..."
"Very good."
Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.
The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Chen Mo felt like a blur before his eyes, and a terrifying murderous intention that could freeze his soul, completely enveloped him!
He didn't even have time to react. A cold blade exuding an endless aura of destruction was quietly placed on his neck.
"Now, it's me."
The voice of Lin Feng, like a spell from Nine Nether Hells, sounded softly in his ears.
Throughout the hall, you can hear a needle drop.
Everyone was like a duck with their necks strangled, staring blankly at the shocking scene in front of them, their minds going blank.
Lin Feng took back Killing Blade and sat back down, as if he had just done a trivial thing.
He looked around at the staff below who had been scared out of their wits and kept silent, and announced his unique "management policy" in a matter-of-fact tone.
"First, I don't care whether you are from Master Hidden Mysteries or Zhao Family. It has nothing to do with me. I don't need your loyalty."
"Second, do your job well, don't be lazy, don't be mean-spirited, I don't care about anything else."
"Third, don't bother me, let alone cause trouble for me. Solve your own affairs by yourself."
"Do you understand?"
"Ming... I understand!"
Everyone stood up from their chairs and bowed respectfully to Lin Feng, their voices filled with fear and awe from the bottom of their hearts.
Lin Feng waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
After everyone dispersed, he turned his attention to Hidden Mysteries Corps's vast confidential files.
Arriving at the deepest library, there are ancient classical books that are classified as top secrets.
He took out the red crystal stone obtained from Power-Measuring Stele and began to search for clues about it in countless ancient books.
For three days and three nights, Lin Feng stayed awake and read thousands of ancient books.
Finally, he found the answer in an ancient manuscript called "Records of Strange Tales from the Nine Provinces" that was already in ruins.
It is recorded in the handbook that in ancient times, nine extraterrestrial stars fell to the earth and turned into nine pieces of "Divine Stone" containing supreme power. They were suppressed on the dragon vein nodes of the Great Xia Dynasty Nine Provinces, forming nine "Dragon-Suppressing Stele".
And the crimson crystal in his hand is the core fragment of Divine Stone that suppresses the Azure Prefecture dragon vein.
"Nine pieces Divine Stone... Nine seats Dragon-Suppressing Stele..."
A frightening light burst out in Lin Feng's eyes, "Could it be said that every state capital Demon Suppression Division's Power-Measuring Stele is just a cover, and its real function is to cover up and suppress a piece of Divine Stone?"
This guess made him feel frightened.
If this is really the case, then what kind of shocking secret is hidden behind it?
At this moment, Gold Badge Commander Xiao Xuan was in the study room.
A guard was respectfully reporting the current situation of Hidden Mysteries Corps.
"... Lord Commander, that Lin Feng, since he took office, he has locked himself in the library and has not left the house for three days. He has also been indifferent to the affairs of the camp and acted like a hands-off boss."
There was a bit of confusion and worry in the guard's tone, "My subordinates feel that although this boy is powerful, he has a perverse personality and acts based on his own preferences without caring about his reputation and connections within the company. If things continue like this, I'm afraid... he will be difficult to manage."
Xiao Xuan After listening, he did not express his opinion as usual, but fell into a long silence.
Slowly walking to the window, looking in the direction of Hidden Mysteries Corps, a strange light flashed in those deep eyes that even he himself had not noticed.
Suddenly, he had an extremely absurd, yet extremely reasonable idea.
This Lin Feng doesn't form gangs, doesn't manage connections, and doesn't even bother to use the power he has...
He seemed not to care about anything in Azure Prefecture Demon Suppression Division.
It's like...
He has no intention of staying here for a long time!
"Could it be..."
Xiao Xuan's heart was in turmoil.
"In his eyes, this Azure Prefecture is no different from Nan Yan Commandery, just a stepping stone?"
