June 21.
Donglin.
Headquarters of the 27th Group Army.
A military transport plane streaked across the orange-red glow of the setting sun as it descended.
Looking through the window, Ning Chuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
At this moment, thousands of armed helicopters are neatly parked in this vast airport, stretching as far as the eye can see. They are all painted black, gleaming with a metallic sheen in the setting sun, a sight that sends shivers down one's spine.
"This is Shadow Dragon 3000!"
Bai Xiuxiu sat next to Ning Chuan and introduced, " The Federation Army's latest attack helicopter has 20 external hardpoints, capable of carrying various nuclear missiles, with a maximum flight altitude of 30,000 meters and a top speed of Mach 1.6."
Luo Qin laughed, "That's more than enough to intimidate a Knight family!"
The transport plane landed during the conversation.
The group got up and left, and led by a commander, boarded a Shadow Dragon 3000 attack helicopter.
" The Sea-Subduing Divine General has given the order: Commence the operation!"
After receiving Song Yuefeng's permission, the commander announced in a deep voice, "Destination: Wei Family Manor, Qingshan City!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A tremendous roar swept through the airport, wings spun, and countless Shadow Dragon 3000 soared into the sky.
Qingshan City.
The Wei Family Manor was exceptionally lively, decorated with lanterns and colorful flowers.
Tonight is Wei Huasheng's 500th birthday banquet.
Large in scale.
Luxury cars arrived one after another.
Not only in Qingshan City, but also in several surrounding cities, most of the prominent figures personally attended and presented lavish gifts.
Various celebrities dressed up to offer their congratulations.
The television station sent several senior reporters to cover the story.
After all, this was Knight's feast.
Deep within the manor, in a secret meeting room.
The doors and windows were tightly shut, making it completely airtight.
There were only two people inside.
Wei Huasheng sat upright in his high position.
Wei Qiance stood below and reported respectfully, his voice low, as if he was worried about being overheard.
"Ancestor, those seven thousand people have already been loaded onto a ship and transported away; customs hasn't discovered them."
Wei Qiance said, "Their quality is quite good. The alien envoy is very satisfied with this transaction and has agreed to give an extra 20% of the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid!"
You did a great job!
Wei Huasheng nodded, a hint of satisfaction in his voice.
The Spirit-Nourishing Liquid was an important reason for his longevity.
Upon hearing this, Wei Qiance wasn't overly excited. Instead, he gritted his teeth and said, "There's one more thing!"
That little bastard Ning Chuan is getting stronger and stronger!
His combat power leaped seven realms; even when five people from the Heavenly Martial Realm joined forces, he was defeated, allowing him to successfully seize the top scorer position in Gaolin's college entrance examination!
"If I hadn't recently advanced to the Eighth-Grade Martial Artist, I probably wouldn't be a match for him!"
Wei Qiance said resentfully, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
Even if he wins now, it's useless.
At Ning Chuan's rate of progress, he will soon surpass him.
"This is not a good problem to solve!"
Wei Huasheng's expression also turned somewhat grim, and he said coldly, "He is a super genius in the military. If he were to be assassinated, the military, with its power, would most likely be able to find out the truth."
Even if they can't find anything, they'll still suspect the Wei Family family!
The words were finished.
Both of them fell silent.
"Brother Huasheng, do not worry about this!"
Suddenly, the curtains fluttered, and a gaunt figure appeared in the conference room.
The person was completely shrouded in a black robe, the hood of which was so thick that the shadow cast on his face was obscured, leaving only a pair of emerald green eyes visible, with long, vertical pupils that resembled the eyes of some kind of snake.
"Your Excellency, it's not appropriate for you to come uninvited!"
Wei Qiance frowned.
The alien envoy ignored him, his emerald green eyes gleaming as he looked at Wei Huasheng and smiled, "I can kill Ning Chuan and reveal my alien identity."
In this way, the Wei Family will not be affected.
It is perfectly reasonable for Knight from another race to attack and kill the King Physique of a human.
Wei Huasheng's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "What's the price? What do you want?"
The other party won't be that kind.
His relationship with the alien race was purely transactional.
He gave the living humans of the alien race, and the alien race gave him Spirit-Nourishing Liquid.
It's simply a matter of each getting what they need.
The alien envoy stretched out his scaly right hand, flipped it back and forth, and said with a sinister smile, "I want 100,000 people!"
"That's impossible!"
Beside him, Wei Qiance shook his head and said coldly, " The Wei Financial Group's annual arrest and trafficking of people is captive to a maximum of seven or eight thousand. Beyond that limit, the Donglin Government will notice the excessive number of missing persons!"
That's your problem!
The foreign envoy shrugged and chuckled, "If Ning Chuan lives any longer, he'll launch a massive attack, and the Federation's military will take action against your Wei Family!"
" Baerjia, you still don't understand human society!"
Wei Huasheng snorted coldly and said, " Ning Chuan is just a military genius, he has no real power. I threatened to kill him, and as long as I don't actually do it, nothing will happen."
As he spoke, Wei Huasheng sneered and said, "These past few days, the military hasn't even sent anyone to warn me!"
It seems that Ning Chuan's position in the military is lower than I imagined!
His Five Forms of the Killing God might just be a reward for completing some kind of mission!
"Even without military intervention, Ning Chuan itself poses a significant threat."
Baerjia said in a deep voice, "If I remember correctly, he possesses Supreme Physique and will surely become Knight in the future!"
Wei Huasheng said, "That would take at least ten years, and many things could happen in between. He might even perish along the way. His life isn't worth 100,000 people!"
Baerjia understood the implication in Wei Huasheng's words and asked, "Then how many people do you want to send out?"
"Up to 5,000 people!"
"Too little, far from enough!"
The two sides argued for a while, but due to the size of the population, they were unable to reach an agreement for the time being.
Baerjia left first.
"Grandfather, it's almost time; your birthday banquet is about to begin."
Wei Qiance glanced at his watch and said.
Let's go.
Wei Huasheng said this, and the two walked away.
The birthday banquet was held in an open-air garden at the Wei Family Manor.
Night had fallen.
The garden was unlit, yet not dim; countless gems embedded in the paths, stone platforms, and walls emitted a soft glow, creating a comfortable atmosphere.
Elegantly dressed guests were scattered throughout the garden, holding wine glasses and chatting in small groups.
Such birthday banquets are a great opportunity to expand one's network of contacts.
"Greetings, Knight Wei! May you be well!"
"Old Wei is in excellent health; may he live as long as the Heavenly King!"
Congratulations, Mr. Wei! May you live a long and healthy life!
Upon seeing Wei Huasheng enter, the guests stopped their conversation and rushed forward to greet him warmly and respectfully.
Knight, wherever they are, hold a very high status.
"Everyone, please be quiet! The Ancestor has something to say!"
Wei Qiance patted his hand and said loudly.
The noise subsided immediately.
Wei Huasheng looked around at everyone with a kind smile and said, "Welcome to all of you. To be honest, it's really not easy for a person to live for 500 years; it's a very lucky thing."
He paused for a moment, then continued with a smile, "As a celebration, guests who have business dealings with the Wei Financial Group can settle their bills early tonight."
"You're too kind, Mr. Wei!"
"No need. With Elder Wei around, it's fine no matter how long the money is tied up!"
As everyone was offering their compliments, beams of dazzling light descended from the sky, blinding people and illuminating the entire garden as bright as day.
Immediately afterwards.
A thunderous roar, accompanied by a violent wind, poured down like seawater overflowing its banks.
The banquet tables and the various precious flowers in the garden were completely torn apart by the gale and swept away into the air.
The evening gowns of the women at the scene were blown about by the wind.
But not a single man was interested.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the sky, their gazes filled with shock and terror.
There, countless Shadow Dragon 3000 attack helicopters circled, obscuring the Firmament. In the pitch-black night, they resembled roaring metal behemoths venting their anger.
Amidst countless horrified gazes, a tall, slender figure plummeted from the night sky, crashing into the garden like a meteor.
Bang!
Rocks crumbled and dirt flew everywhere.
The figure was completely unharmed, dressed in a black military uniform, with a cold and stern face and a sharp temperament, like a gleaming sword!
To everyone's surprise, the other person was a teenager who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
Logically speaking, they should have just finished high school.
What's shocking is that the shoulder insignia of the boys' military uniforms are embroidered with four scarlet swords, which stand out conspicuously in the light that shatters the darkness!
That's the rank of Senior Colonel in the Federation Army!
In an instant, a storm raged in everyone's hearts, leaving them unable to calm down. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old colonel?!
" Wei Huasheng!"
The boy stood with his hands behind his back, his indifferent gaze carrying a terrifying pressure, and said coldly, "I've come to collect the debt you owe!"
