Return to the Modern World, Eight Billion US Dollars

Seeing how easygoing Chen Feng was, everyone quickly sat down.

But no one dared to speak; they simply ate the Demon Beast's flesh in silence.

Chen Feng picked up a piece of the roasted Demon Beast meat from the campfire and took a bite. The meat was so delicious that it left a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth, making him want to keep eating.

This meat was more delicious than any meat he had ever eaten on Earth.

"The flesh of Demon Beast from another world is indeed different."

Chen Feng only took one bite, but he felt that the meat seemed to improve his physical condition.

However, it did not improve his physique much, as Chen Feng's body was affected by his cultivation of the Starry Sky Body Refining Technique.

It's difficult to improve him using ordinary methods anymore.

But if this meat were given to ordinary people, it would have a very significant effect.

Chen Feng immediately put away some of the Demon Beast meat, intending to bring it back to the modern world for Lin Wei and Li Xiaorou to try.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan suddenly asked Chen Feng:

"Sect Master, why is the Black Sea black?"

When Zhang Xuan first arrived at the Black Coast, he was awestruck by the vast black ocean.

Chen Feng shook his head. "I don't know, this matter still needs to be investigated."

Although Xingfeng Sect now controls Yingzhou, they still have no idea why Yingzhou has lost its Spiritual Qi or the origin of the Black Sea.

He had questioned Zheng Jiao, as well as Luo Yinxue and the others from Youxinghai.

But all that came out were various rumors.

This also made Chen Feng realize that Yingzhou must be hiding a very deep secret.

Chen Feng glanced at Zhang Xuan, then opened his palm, revealing three mid-grade talismans from the Ink Poison Blade in his hand.

You can take these things.

Seeing the Ink Poison Blade in Chen Feng's hand, Zhang Xuan was startled:

"Sect Master, this..."

Zhang Xuan was well aware of the power of this Ink Poison Blade.

Just now, our sect leader used this thing to instantly kill that Foundation Establishment Realm white ape in one move.

"I've imbued these Law Treasure and talismans with my own spiritual essence. While their power isn't as great as when I unleash them myself, they're more than enough to deal with Foundation Establishment Middle Stage."

Chen Feng gave Zhang Xuan the Ink Poison Blade and the talisman because Zhang Xuan was indeed in great danger in this place.

When overseas cultivators arrive, their first stop is Zhang Xuan's place, so it's necessary to leave Zhang Xuan and his group some means of survival.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Zhang Xuan did not refuse. Instead, he immediately took the Ink Poison Blade and the talisman with both hands and carefully put them away.

Chen Feng then said:

"I just came to take a look around, I'll be going now!"

Chen Feng only came here to take a look; he should return to the modern world soon.

The Xingfeng Sect is still lacking in many things, and these need to be obtained from the modern world.

For example, the building materials used to construct factories, and the raw materials used to manufacture hydrogen bombs.

We're about to make contact with the cultivation forces of Youxinghai, and ordinary nuclear bombs are no longer enough to ensure safety.

Only by deploying hydrogen bombs can the cultivation forces of Youxinghai be deterred.

Seeing that Chen Feng was about to leave, Zhang Xuan prepared to get up, but Chen Feng waved his hand and then disappeared into the scene as a blur.

After Chen Feng left, a martial artist standing nearby said:

"Captain, the sect leader is so easygoing."

The martial artist was very happy, as they had just had dinner with Chen Feng.

How many people in the entire Xingfeng Sect can actually have meals with the sect leader?

Zhang Xuan ignored the martial artist's words and stared silently in the direction Chen Feng had left.

Deep in the great forest.

At the entrance of a cave, a large number of Demon Beast have gathered.

There are currently over three hundred Demon Beast in the Great Forest, most of Demon Beast are at the Qi Refining level.

They are gathered here now, naturally because of the deaths of the white ape and other Demon Beast.

Who is the white ape?

That's one of the three Foundation Establishment Demon Beast in the great forest, its strength is unfathomable.

The fact that he was killed so easily naturally shocked the Demon Beast horde in the great forest.

The reason they were waiting at the cave entrance was because the two Demon Beast inside were the strongest among their Demon Beast.

They were all waiting for instructions from the two Foundation Establishment Demon Beast inside the cave.

Inside the cave, two Demon Beast were having a discussion.

"Has the matter been investigated thoroughly?"

The speaker was a Demon Beast with a sharp head and blue scales on its body.

His body was long and lithe, streamlined, and looked like a lizard.

The Green-Scaled Lizard is one of the three Foundation Establishment Demon Beast in the Great Forest.

The Demon Beast beside him was called the Spirit Rock Beast, Demon Beast with a pair of horns on its head, which were made of rock and gleamed with a cold light.

The Spirit Rock Beast said with a solemn expression:

"According to the news from the Feathered Beasts, the Xingfeng Sect is currently the most powerful force in Yingzhou. The entire Yingzhou now reveres the Xingfeng Sect Xingfeng Sect, and both the Great Yu and Great Jin have been taken over by it."

The Demon Beast in the great forest rarely pay attention to the affairs of the human cultivators from Yingzhou.

Therefore, very little information is available.

This time, the Spirit Rock Beast learned some information about the Xingfeng Sect through the Feathered Beast.

"I remember that the Great Yu Ancestor came here twenty years ago. In less than twenty years, the Great Yu has been taken over by the Xingfeng Sect?"

A look of surprise flashed in the blue-scaled lizard's eyes.

Although human powers have been fighting each other, no single power has ever become dominant in all these years.

Only twenty years have passed, and Yingzhou has been unified, which naturally surprised the Green-Scaled Lizard.

The Spirit Rock Beast suddenly said:

"Rumor has it that the sect leader of the Xingfeng Sect once killed a Golden Core cultivator!"

"Kill a Golden Core cultivator?" The Azure Scale Lizard's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Spirit Rock Beast said, "This is just a rumor. It's said that Chen Beijing used a supreme treasure called a nuclear bomb, which not only suppressed and killed Golden Core cultivators but also annihilated millions of people. It's incredibly terrifying."

The blue-scaled lizard took a deep breath:

"This person is no ordinary individual!"

The Spirit Rock Beast said:

"It's impossible for a Golden Elixir to appear in Yingzhou. I think this rumor might be exaggerated."

Golden Core cultivators—such powerful individuals have never appeared in Yingzhou before.

The blue-scaled lizard shook its head and smiled.

"Whether the rumors are true or false, this person is no ordinary individual."

The Spirit Rock Beast then asked, "What is the white ape's grudge?"

The white ape was their sworn brother, and the three of them jointly controlled all the Demon Beast in the great forest.

Now that the white ape is dead, many Demon Beast are furious.

These Demon Beast all wanted to seek revenge against the Xingfeng Sect.

The blue-scaled lizard said with a wry smile:

"Lingyan, how do our strengths compare to the white ape's?"

The Spirit Rock Beast replied, "It's about even."

The three Demon Beast are roughly equal in strength, which is why the Demon Beast horde in the great forest is led by three people.

The blue-scaled lizard said with a solemn expression:

"Chen Beijin killed the white ape in one move. I suspect his strength has likely reached the Pseudo-Core stage. If we seek revenge against him, we'll be committing suicide."

The Azure-Scaled Lizard didn't believe that the Xingfeng Sect had the ability to kill Golden Core cultivators, but it was a fact that they controlled the Great Yu.

Taking control of the Great Yu means that Chen Beijing fought against that pseudo-Core Formation cultivator from the Great Yu, and even won.

From this, we can conclude that Chen Beijing is at least a pseudo-core cultivator, and not just any pseudo-core cultivator.

The Spirit Rock Beast asked with a grim expression:

"Are we just going to let it go like this?"

The blue-scaled lizard sighed softly, "We have no choice but to accept it; this person Non-Self our capabilities."

The blue-scaled lizard had no choice but to abandon its revenge.

Demon Beast have always been arrogant and have never taken humans seriously.

But this is on the premise that the other party is not strong. If the other party is ridiculously strong, they will have no choice but to bow down.

"Have someone investigate this Xingfeng Sect more thoroughly!" the Blue-Scaled Lizard suddenly spoke again.

The Spirit Rock Beasts now understood that they were indeed no match for Chen Beijing.

"The Feathered Beasts are already investigating, but what puzzles me is why this Xingfeng Sect has come to our Darkshore?"

The Spirit Rock Beast voiced his doubts.

According to their information, this Xingfeng Sect had built some houses on the shore of the Black Coast.

This is the first time that people from Yingzhou have built houses on the Black Coast.

The blue-scaled lizard thought for a moment and then said, "I suspect that this Xingfeng Sect might be preparing to head overseas."

The only thing the blue-scaled lizard could think of was that this Xingfeng Sect was intended to go overseas.

Because only by going overseas can one find even a sliver of a breakthrough opportunity.

In fact, he also planned to go overseas, but because he lacked the strength, he was not confident in crossing the Black Sea.

So they can only live a simple life in this great forest.

After the two Demon Beast reached an agreement, an order was quickly issued.

The order was simple: from now on, no forest Demon Beast should provoke anyone from the Xingfeng Sect.

It is also forbidden to approach the Xingfeng Sect outpost on the Black Coast.

The group of Demon Beast were all shocked upon hearing this news.

The fact that two Foundation Establishment Demon Beast issued such an order clearly shows that they were wary of the Xingfeng Sect.

In no time, many Demon Beast memorized the name of the Xingfeng Sect.

The modern world, the Golden Triangle.

An auction has just concluded in the Golden Triangle, with dozens of companies from around the world participating.

This also includes people from some government agencies.

After all, there have been a series of reports about extraterrestrial civilizations recently emerging in the Golden Triangle.

The appearance of that photo of the space carrier online further fueled the hype surrounding the auction.

Ten items were sold in this auction, with a final total price of eight billion US dollars.

Eight billion US dollars, more than double the previous auction price.

The reason this auction price was so high is mainly because the items were more unique than the metals and herbs that appeared last time.

One of the most intriguing items up for auction was an item that bore the inscription of extraterrestrial writing.

Written characters represent language, and the research value of such things is immense.

Many companies and research institutions bid frantically for this item with text on it.

Shan State, CIA outpost.

This outpost was established by the CIA in the Golden Triangle a long time ago; it is a secret outpost.

John and several high-ranking CIA officials were present.

Besides John, there was another man wearing special operations gear.

The man was tall and straight, with eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

He was a Navy SEAL team leader sent to the Golden Triangle to assist John's operation; his name was Chris.

"We've found out. The most heavily guarded place on Jack's side is a manor, where there are many soldiers. I suspect Professor Harvey and the others are probably there too!"

John looked at the crowd and spoke.

A senior CIA official asked:

"Chief, what's the defense situation there?"

John and his group have been in the Golden Triangle for several days.

After several days, they finally found some information.

John said in a deep voice:

"That manor is right next to Jack's military base. If anything happens to the manor, all of Jack's militia can get there immediately."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions darkened.

With such tight security, it won't be an easy task for them to investigate this villa.

Jack's military strength is now exceptionally strong; Jack has acquired all the equipment of the 14th Brigade of the Cherry Blossom Country.

This greatly enhanced Jack's military strength.

Chris, who had been listening quietly, then smiled and spoke up:

"Chief John, leave this to me. Just tell me the location of the estate."

John turned to Chris and said:

"Captain Chris, while I have great faith in your expertise, Jack is a superhuman with abilities that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. We still need to be careful."

A total of two hundred Navy SEALs came this time.

These two hundred men were equipped with the most advanced individual combat gear currently available in the Eagle Sauce Country, making them the elite of the elite.

John had complete confidence in the Navy SEALs when it came to conducting covert operations elsewhere.

But this is Jack's territory, and he has to remind Chris.

"Superpowers? To be honest, I don't believe in any so-called superpowered people in this world. I think they're just a group of people who are more capable than others."

"My team has completed over three hundred missions with virtually no failures, and we won't fail this time either. I'll bring Jack to Chief John."

Chris was very confident.

Their Navy SEALs are among the most physically fit and professionally competent in the world.

Moreover, he didn't believe Jack possessed superpowers.

In his view, so-called superpowered individuals are simply those with better physical abilities than ordinary people, or those who use some special technology to create an illusion.

Upon hearing Chris's words, John's face immediately darkened:

"Captain Chris, I hope you don't underestimate Jack. This operation is just reconnaissance, not a confrontation with Jack and his men! If you can't do that, I'll contact the House of Representatives!"

John was very dissatisfied with Chris's attitude.

Underestimating Jack is an extremely foolish act. John once underestimated Jack, but each time he did, he only suffered defeat after defeat.

His main mission in coming to the Golden Triangle this time was to investigate the disappearances of extraterrestrial technology and Professor Harvey and others.

Instead of trying to catch Jack.

Seeing John's serious expression, Chris helplessly shrugged.

"Alright, then I'll take my men over there first."

After saying that, Chris turned and left the room without waiting for John's reply.

Seeing Chris leave immediately, John's face turned extremely ugly. He wanted to curse at him, but he held back.

A high-ranking CIA official nearby suddenly said:

"Chief, we just received news that the auction in the Golden Triangle has successfully concluded. There were ten items in total, almost all of which are products of extraterrestrial civilizations."

John began by saying:

"The auction isn't our focus; our focus is on that manor. It's highly likely that it's where alien technology is hidden. If we can infiltrate it, we can learn a lot."

John didn't take the auction too seriously.

He believed that the items that were put up for auction were not of much value.

Things that are truly valuable are always hidden away.

"Will Captain Chris lead his men to arrest Jack directly?" a CIA executive nearby voiced his concern.

John said in a deep voice:

"Let's go, we'll take some men over and take a look."

After John finished speaking, he secretly left the stronghold with his men.

In a manor near a military base in the Golden Triangle.

At this moment, in an open space in the manor, more than thirty militiamen were sitting cross-legged and cultivating.

It only took a few days.

These thirty-odd militiamen had almost all reached the Houtian Third Stage.

The black bear and the wolf have even reached the fourth level of the Postnatal.

The main reason they were able to advance so quickly was that they had no shortage of Cultivation Resources.

Chen Feng provided plenty of martial arts pills, so improving their skills was naturally not a problem.

At this moment, a militiaman spoke up;

"What did you say Professor Lin and the others were researching? I've been seeing very bright lights a lot these past few days!"

Black Bear glanced at the militiaman who had spoken and said sternly:

"Don't ask any more questions; this is not something we can know."

Professor Lin and Harvey's work area is off-limits to them; even Jack cannot enter without permission.

The only thing Black Bear and the others knew was that Lin Wei and her team were developing technology.

As for what technology they are researching, I don't know.

Just then, a huge light suddenly shone from deep within the manor.

The light, as bright as day, illuminated the dark forest surrounding the manor.

Black Bear and the others all looked in that direction, their faces filled with surprise.
