"Notify Xi Zhe and Zu Hengyao to come to the top floor meeting hall to meet me immediately."
After dispatching the arrangements for Qin Yuer, Chen Shan and others, Chen Lang immediately gave instructions to the secretary waiting outside without any delay.
Although Zhan Kong and the others are reunited, they have plenty of time to reminisce about the past.
But this trip back to China involves a lot. He must grasp the trends on Dubai as soon as possible, and he must also secure the resources needed for his own cultivation.
"Yes!" The secretary responded respectfully, without any delay, turned around and left quickly.
In the silent corridor, footsteps moved from near to far, leaving clear echoes that soon dissipated without a trace.
Chen Lang walked slowly to the main seat and sat down, looking past the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and landing on the Dubai city panorama outside the window.
Under the sun, this city that combines modern prosperity and magical heritage is lined up in rows, with skyscrapers and magic towers complementing each other. The tower tops glow with a cold metallic luster in the sunlight, creating a peaceful and peaceful scene.
But Chen Lang knew in his heart that there were many turbulent undercurrents hidden under this stability.
Although I successfully brought back Chen Shan and Ding Yumian this time, and finalized the plan to use the bloody feud between Chen and Holy City to gather anti-Holy City forces, it was a fruitful return, but Holy City never put down the sharp sword hanging above his head.
Dubai is currently his foundation, the core of the Asian Magic Association. The stability here is the confidence for all subsequent actions, and there must be no mistakes.
More importantly, his own strength needs to be improved urgently. While thinking, the door of the meeting hall was gently pushed open, and Xi Zhe and Zu Hengyao walked in side by side.
The two men were neatly dressed and looked calm. They obviously came immediately after receiving the notice without any delay.
Seeing Chen Lang on the main seat, they both bowed and saluted with a respectful tone. "See you, Chief!"
"Sit." Chen Lang slowly opened his eyes and raised his hand to indicate that the two of them should sit down in the seats below. Without any extra greetings, he got straight to the point and asked, "During the time I left, Dubai, is there anything unusual here?"
This is the first major event after his return, confirming the current situation of Dubai Mage Tower and the entire Asian Magic Association.
Holy City's hostility towards him has become clear. The period of his absence is the window period during which the other party may do something. There is no room for carelessness.
Xi Zhe was the first to stand up and respond, with a calm and clear tone. "Back to chief, during the period you left, everything in Dubai and the surrounding area was stable, and no major changes occurred. Although there were There have been several small-scale Demon Beast commotions, and there are two local Magic Association disputes over the division of licensing rights, but these are ordinary trivial matters, and my subordinates have personally come forward to handle them properly, so there is no need to alarm you."
When he spoke, his eyes were sincere and his attitude was respectful.
Since completely surrendering to Chen Lang, Xi Zhe knows that only by working hard can he consolidate his position and truly gain a foothold under Chen Lang.
During this period of time, he kept domestic affairs in order, just to prove his worth to Chen Lang.
Hearing this, Chen Lang nodded slightly, with a flash of approval in his eyes. Then he turned to Zu Hengyao and asked in a deep voice, "Zu Hengyao, where are you? Is there any progress in the resources I told you to collect before? In addition, is there any channel for the Lightning Attribute Earth Core I need?"
Right now, for Chen Lang, attacking the forbidden curse of Lightning Element is the core goal.
Of course, if he could find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures suitable for Ding Yumian and Qin Yuer to advance to the Forbidden Curse, he would naturally be willing to help them and let them enter the Forbidden Curse level as soon as possible.
But this is undoubtedly an impossible task.
Chen Shan's ability to advance to the Forbidden Curse relies on decades of accumulation and rare luck. Even if he is also a magic user, it is not easy to break through the Forbidden Curse.
In order for Qin Yuer and Ding Yumian to break through quickly, they must find the "key" level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can directly open the door to the forbidden curse.
Zu Hengyao's face showed a bit of embarrassment, he stood up and bowed and said, "Chief, what you are looking for are top Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Such treasures are extremely rare. I really don't have any clue at the moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have remembered something, and after a pause he added, "However, my subordinate got a message from the Americas, where a new Lightning Attribute mineral vein was discovered. It is said that the lightning energy contained in this vein has extremely high purity and can reach S level."
Having said this, Zu Hengyao hesitated for a moment, and his tone became more solemn. "It's just that the value of this mine is astronomical, and the capital reserves Dubai currently has are completely insufficient to buy it."
"Oh?" Chen Lang raised his eyebrows, a flash of light flashing in his eyes.
S-level Lightning Attribute vein?
This was an unexpected surprise.
He leaned forward slightly and asked, "Which force or family discovered it?"
"It is said that the famous Kasa Aristocratic Clan of Europe discovered it first, and now it is completely controlled by the Kasa Aristocratic Clan." Zu Hengyao answered truthfully.
Kasa Aristocratic Clan, that is a real Forbidden Curse family with a profound foundation.
But even so, Chen Lang has no intention of giving up.
An S-level Lightning Attribute mineral vein, the pure Lightning Element energy contained in it, is undoubtedly a great help for him to attack the Lightning Element forbidden curse.
If he can drain and absorb all the energy in the mineral veins, his chances of breaking through the Lightning Element forbidden curse will be greatly increased.
"Where is the specific location?" Chen Lang continued to ask, with an unquestionable determination in his tone.
Zu Hengyao looked at the light in Chen Lang's eyes, felt a little in his heart, and asked hesitantly, "Chief... you don't want to exploit this mine, do you?"
In his opinion, Kasa Aristocratic Clan is powerful, and the mineral vein is already the opponent's territory. If he takes it by force, it will undoubtedly be a blatant provocation to the Kasa Aristocratic Clan.
More importantly, this will leave Holy City with an excellent excuse, giving Holy City a reason to unite with other forces to jointly target Chen Lang, and the situation will then be even more dangerous.
"That's right." Chen Lang said bluntly and with a firm tone, "For me, improving my strength is the most important thing right now. Everything else can be put aside for the time being. Moreover, I only need to sneak in quietly without anyone noticing."
His physique is different from ordinary people. Even unrefined raw Lightning Element energy can be directly absorbed and refined. This S-level Lightning Vein is a tailor-made cultivation treasure land for him.
As for whether he would be noticed afterwards, Chen Lang didn't care at all. He was about to face Holy City, so he still cared about whether the other party had any excuses?
"This..." Zu Hengyao was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to persuade.
He knew Chen Lang's temperament, and it was difficult to change his decision once he made it. Being an enemy of the Kasa Aristocratic Clan, coupled with the threat of Holy City, would undoubtedly force him to a dead end.
Chen Lang noticed his worry, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was calm but with an unmistakable dignity. "You only need to tell me your address, and then you can go down and chat with your grandson about life. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with you."
He knew in his heart that Zu Hengyao had no guts to challenge Holy City, and he had never thought of relying on him.
Zu Hengyao is sitting in charge of Dubai, but he is just using his identity and Dubai's popularity to search for rare resources. With him, there are not many, but without him, there are not many.
Zu Hengyao hesitated for a moment, and finally told the specific address of the mine, but was not in a hurry to leave.
He turned his attention to Xi Zhe on the side, wanting to see what Xi Zhe's attitude was. If even Xi Zhe felt that this matter was inappropriate, he might be able to persuade Chen Lang...
