Bai Family is gone.
Before the convoy even left the capital, the communicator rang three times.
The first round was from the major aristocratic families seeking information, the second round was from War Zone in the military for verification, and the third round was from the National Defense Committee center.
Duan Hongyuan didn't take the first two rounds.
In the third round, he picked it up in the car.
The voice on the other end of the communicator was very loud, with obvious suppression and dissatisfaction.
"Duan Hongyuan, without the approval of the central government, you sent troops to Beijing to destroy Bai Family's entire family. Do you know what you are doing?"
Duan Hongyuan leaned on the seat, his voice still hoarse.
"Bai Yong colluded with East Sea Military Region, deliberately destroyed the seal of Dragon Suppressing Platform, and attempted to trigger a riot by Dragon Vein. The evidence is conclusive, with both witnesses and material evidence. I killed him on the spot in accordance with Article 97 of Military Regulations. There is no problem with the procedure."
"Procedure?" The voice on the other side became louder. "Bai Family has been operating in the capital for a hundred years. You don't know the network involved? You wiped out everyone's family in one day, ransacked their ancestral home, and didn't even say hello to the central government?"
"It was too late to fight. Bai Yong was breaking through. Half an hour later, Half-Step Martial Emperor became True Martial Emperor. Who do you think can still hold him down?"
There was silence on the other end of the communicator for a few seconds.
"Your report will not be accepted by the center for the time being."
Duan Hongyuan tapped his finger on the edge of the communicator.
"What do you mean?"
"Twelve members of the Standing Committee have voted, nine to three, to reject your qualification of counter-insurgency. The matter of the Bai Family needs to be re-investigated. During this period, you are not allowed to take any further action against the relevant personnel."
Duan Hongyuan's face darkened.
"Nine to three? Bai Family are all dead, who voted for them?"
The other end of the communicator did not answer this question.
Snap.
Broken.
Duan Hongyuan stared at the black screen for several seconds.
"Interesting."
He turned to look out the window. Transport Aircraft was flying above the clouds, with the continuous mountains below.
Nine to three.
National Defense Committee Of the twelve members of the Standing Committee, three are on his side and nine are against it.
Less than half a day after the Bai Family was destroyed, nine people jumped out to speak for the dead.
This is not to speak for the Bai Family.
Bai Family is just a bug on a line.
The other end of the line is connected to something bigger.
Duan Hongyuan closed his eyes. A word came to his mind.
Hidden Cultivation Society.
He has heard this name before.
A long time ago, I saw it once in the military's top-secret old files.
Most of the file was blackened out with black ink, leaving only a few lines.
"Hidden Cultivation Society, unknown members, unknown level. There is a deep binding relationship with the Dragon Kingdom center."
He didn't care at the time.
I thought it was some outdated secret society that had been disbanded long ago.
Now it seems that it has not been dissolved.
Not only did they not disband, their hands were extended very long.
Nine votes.
He picked up the communicator and sent an encrypted message to Lin Feng.
--
Beast Taming Alliance General Headquarters.
Lin Feng's convoy arrived at three o'clock in the morning.
Iron Eagle directed people to move Bai Family's supplies to the warehouse, and was so busy that his feet didn't even touch the floor.
Xiao Yu was holding a list to reconcile the items, mumbling numbers.
Lin Feng was not helpful.
He sat on the steps of the General Headquarters hall, flipping through the contract documents he took out from Bai Yong Storage Ring.
The rights to operate two auction houses.
Three mining licenses for Ore Vein.
Management rights of one B-Rank Secret Realm.
There are also title deeds for several properties, shops, and farms.
Added together, the book value is less than 50 billion.
Lin Feng Stacked the documents and stuffed them back into Storage Ring.
The communicator vibrated.
Encrypted channel.
Sent by Duan Hongyuan.
Lin Feng opened it and took a look.
Two lines of characters.
"The central government rejects the classification of counter-insurgency. Someone is behind the scenes. There may be someone coming from your side. They are very high-level. Pay attention to safety."
Lin Feng put away the communicator and continued to eat rations.
Come if anyone comes.
I stood up and stretched my muscles.
The broken ribs in my chest have not fully grown yet, and there is a dull pain when I take a deep breath.
Iron Eagle ran over from the warehouse with excitement on his face.
"Boss! Just Spirit Stone alone has cleared more than 43,000 yuan! There is also a batch of S-Rank Elixir. I counted more than eighty bottles!"
"Hmm."
"I have never seen so many good things in my life. How much has Bai Family collected over the years..."
"Stop talking nonsense and put it into storage quickly. Register everything before dawn."
"Yes!"
Iron Eagle ran away.
Lin Feng sat on the steps for a while. When the sky was getting brighter, his Psychic Power captured anomalies in the distance.
Three breaths.
Coming from the direction of Beijing.
The speed was extremely fast, traveling in a straight line at high altitude without even turning.
The concentration of the three breaths made his Psychic Power retract twice.
Half-Step Martial Emperor.
three.
Lin Feng stood up slowly.
Here we go again.
The communicator vibrated again.
Or the encrypted channel of Duan Hongyuan.
This time there are only two words.
"Run quickly."
Lin Feng stared at those two words for two seconds.
No reply.
He put the communicator into his pocket, turned around and walked out towards the door of the Alliance General Headquarters.
Three breaths have reached the top of the head.
In the sky, three black spots emerged from the clouds, slowed down and lined up.
Three old men.
Three skeletons, to be precise.
He was so thin that he lost his appearance, and his skin was covered with bones.
His hair is completely white, his complexion is ashen, and the nails on his fingers are horribly long and glowing with dark green.
They landed in the open space fifty meters away from the door of the Alliance General Headquarters.
Three people stood in a row, and the middle one took half a step forward.
"Lin Feng."
The sound is dry, like wood grinding together.
Lin Feng walked out of the door carrying a gun.
The old man in the middle took out a golden token from his sleeve. There were three words engraved on the token.
Judgment Order.
"National Defense Committee is the highest Judgment Order."
The old man raised the token and his voice came out of his throat.
"Northern Territory Military Region Lin Feng, trespassing Hundred Thousand Mountains Core Zone triggered the Dragon Vein riot, causing Beast Tide to lose control and endangering the lives of hundreds of contestants. He also colluded with Duan Hongyuan to kill Bai Family without authorization from the central government. The crime is the same as treason."
He took his hand back and flashed the token in front of Lin Feng.
"According to Judgment Order, immediately capture Lin Feng and escort him to the capital for trial. If there is resistance, he will be killed on the spot."
Iron Eagle rushed out from the warehouse, still holding half of the list in his hand.
"What? Take someone?"
"Who the hell gave the order? You didn't care about the Bai Family colluding with the East Sea to blow up Dragon Suppressing Platform, but you came to arrest and save people?"
The old man on the left raised his eyelids.
"Talk too much."
A wave of air popped out from between his fingers.
It was so light that there was no sound at all.
Iron Eagle's body stiffened.
His feet left the ground.
The whole person was pulled upward by the gray-white force, and the knees, waist, and chest were locked up section by section.
A muffled groan came from his mouth, and his ribs creaked.
"Let him go."
Lin Feng Hold Crimson Gold Spear tight.
Iron Eagle fell down.
He fell to the ground, coughed twice, got up and retreated to the wall.
The old man in the middle tilted his head and looked at Lin Feng.
"Young man, I have lived for one hundred and three years and have killed more people than you have ever seen. If you have any sense, give up on your cultivation and come with us."
Lin Feng holds Crimson Gold Spear in front of him.
"You Hidden Cultivation Society people?"
The movements of the three old men paused at the same time.
The eyelids of the middle one twitched.
"How do you know this name?"
"Guess." Lin Feng glanced at them.
"Three old coffin boards who are about to die are hiding in the dark sucking Dragon Vein Essence Blood to stay alive, and Bai Yong will do the dirty work for you. He is dead, and you are anxious. So you came here overnight."
The old man's nails on the right scratched the air.
"You know too much."
Lin Feng said no more.
He turned around and walked towards the hermitage room behind the Alliance General Headquarters.
"Stop." The breath of the old man in the middle pressed forward. Half-Step Martial Emperor's power spread down, and several stone slabs on the ground were broken.
"I told you to come with us, you..."
Lin Feng didn't even look back.
Entered the door of the closed chamber.
The stone door closed behind him, and Array Pattern lit up in a circle.
The three old men looked at each other.
"Protective Array can't last long in seclusion."
In the secret room.
Lin Feng leaned Crimson Gold Spear against the wall.
Sit cross-legged.
My mind sank into System Panel.
[Current Martial Path Points:27760000]
Twenty-seven million seven hundred and sixty thousand.
Bai Family Fierce Vulture and Iron Rhinoceros hung up on two lines on the way to search the house, and the total number was saved.
[Do you want to consume Martial Path Points to improve your realm?]
Lin Feng Close your eyes.
There was the sound of Shimen being shocked by blood from outside.
His finger tapped on the panel.
[Consumption Martial Path Points×9000000]
[Realm improvement: Martial Venerable ninth level → half step Martial Saint!]
Dantian exploded.
The meridians were all stretched open, and golden light came out from the seams of the bones.
It's not over yet.
[Consumption Martial Path Points×10000000]
[Realm improvement: half step Martial Saint→Martial Saint First Stage!]
The whole closed room was shaking.
Array Pattern on the stone wall flickered brightly and extinguished due to his surge of energy and blood.
Martial Saint.
Lin Feng Open your eyes. Stand up.
The concentration of qi and blood in his whole body is completely different from before.
As he breathed, the aura in the air automatically gathered around him.
He picked up Crimson Gold Spear.
Outside the stone gate, the first crack appeared.
The three old guys have already begun to tear down the door.
Lin Feng walked to the door.
Press your left hand on the stone door.
Infusing Qi and blood.
Boom!
The stone door exploded from inside.
The rubble was wrapped in red-gold Gale Qi fragments and directly hit the three people standing outside the door.
The three old men stepped back at the same time.
The gravel was blocked by their Gale Qi, but the concentration of energy and blood pouring out from behind the door made the face of the one in the middle change.
Lin Feng came out from behind the gravel.
Crimson Gold Spear is carried on the shoulder, and Dragon Blood Flame is burning on the tip of the gun.
The aura of Martial Saint First Stage spread out, and the pressure of three Half-Step Martial Emperor faced it.
Not suppressed.
The mouth of the old man in the middle slowly opened.
"Martial Saint?"
Lin Feng patted the gun barrel on his shoulder, and Dragon Blood Flame jumped two inches taller.
"Judgment Order?"
His voice came from the direction of the secret room and echoed throughout the Alliance General Headquarters courtyard.
"I will let you lie down and go back today."
