Chapter 101: Meeting (II)

“This isn’t easy to deal with. Other than using the Heart Sword’s ability to launch a sneak attack on Lei Bojun, I also need to use internal force, which will cause a huge commotion.

There are 20 to 30 warriors stationed in the city all year round. It would not be easy to escape quietly.

I have to wait for Lei Bojun to leave the city before looking for an opportunity to attack him.”

Chen Yiming said helplessly after some thought.

One of the disadvantages of the raging power of lightning was that it caused too much of a commotion when it was used.

Warriors who used the internal force had extremely sensitive senses. As long as someone in the warrior realm attacked with all their might, they would definitely be noticed immediately.

The city only spanned a few kilometers, and warriors could arrive at any point within it in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, a man pushed open the door of the Tongbeiquan School and walked in to talk to Lei Bojun. Lei Bojun then followed the man out of the school.

The two of them quickly headed towards the government office building. Chen Yiming followed behind them from a distance.

The city government’s office building was located on the west side of the city center. There were a total of more than 10 office buildings of varying heights there, and special guards patrolled the entrance.

Chen Yiming didn’t dare to go any further.

As the center of the city, this area maintained the normal operation of the entire city. It was the most heavily guarded place and could not be easily broken into.

“I wonder when Lei Bojun will realize that something has happened to his disciple,” Chen Yiming muttered. He found a spot where he could observe the square in front of the office building and waited.

In a meeting room in the city government’s office building,

a group of people sat around a table that was nearly ten meters long and three meters wide.

Just by sitting there, they had an extraordinary air about them.

Ren Pingsheng, who had a head of white hair and a serious expression, was sitting at the head of the table.

He was dressed in ordinary clothes, and his figure was only slightly larger than that of a normal person. However, just by sitting there, he gave off an invisible pressure.

The other people sitting around the conference table were the heads of the 13 martial arts schools, the heads of the seven martial arts clans, and the chairmen of the 10 large corporations.

Lei Bojun from the Tongbeiquan School was filled with a fierce aura. His muscles were exceptionally well-developed, and it was clear that he had unparalleled strength.

Wan Rong from the Mantis Snake Sword School was elegant and easygoing. He had a white beard that reached his chest and looked like an ordinary old man.

An Yuhong from the Flowing Cloud Sword School had a graceful figure. She was wearing a white lace dress, and what was underneath was faintly discernible.

…

They were the representatives of the top factions in East Lake City, and each of them was a big shot in the warrior realm.

Lei Bojun was a little impatient and was the first to speak. “Why did you suddenly gather us here tonight? What’s the matter?”

He was currently dealing with the conflict between two of his core disciples and did not want to attend such a meeting.

The reason for the conflict was that Wu Yunsheng’s overall talent was still lacking.

Wu Yunsheng’s physical talent met the requirements to break through to the warrior realm, but his meditation talent was average. In the past two years, he had been unable to complete the concept diagram and was still stuck at the level of a warrior candidate.

His eldest core disciple did not have full confidence in breaking through to the warrior realm. Lei Bojun had to nurture a few more core disciples with potential, such as the second and third core disciples.

Therefore, when there was a conflict between two core disciples with good potential, he, as the master, had to mediate and maintain an atmosphere of healthy competition in the school. In the end, he still had to choose one of them as his successor.

Ren Pingsheng glanced at all of them and took in everything.

“Of the three space-travel passages from the otherworld near East Lake City, there has been a change in the space-travel passage in the Nuhe Mountain Range.”

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes were on one person.

“Why are you all looking at me? I didn’t kill that giant blazing sun lizard.” Jiang Weishun laughed awkwardly.

He was the chairman of the Datong Group, which was a large corporation. Its businesses included real estate, logistics, supermarkets, and so on. It was famous in East Lake City.

“Now is not the time to pursue personal responsibility. The second beast tide is coming soon.

In order to contain the beast tide within the mountain range, I have decided to send 10 warriors from the civilian factions of East Lake City to the Nuhe Mountain Range.”

As Ren Pingsheng spoke, he swept his gaze across the crowd.

The entire meeting room was silent. No one objected or took the initiative to agree.

Many of them had actually received some news before they came.

However, a war was different from hunting mutant beasts normally. If they were no match for the enemy, they were not allowed to flee unless they received an order to retreat.

Most of the 13 martial arts schools were branches of large factions in the provincial city.

Many of these heads had been kicked out from the provincial city and sent to branches. It was not too different from retirement.

As for the heads of the seven martial arts clans, they were needed as support for their clans. They were even more unwilling to take the risk and go on the battlefield.

As for the chairmen of the ten large corporations, they were all at the lower end of the warrior realm. They stayed in small cities and started companies to be big shots there.

“I’m already so old that I’m almost retired from my position as the head of the school. Young people need more training, so I won’t fight for this opportunity,” the current head of the Mantis Snake Sword School, Wan Rong, said slowly.

“There are so many men present. No matter what, it won’t be my turn to stand on the front line, right?” An Yuhong smiled.

…

With someone taking the lead, most of the people present quickly found various reasons to refuse.

Only a few people had ugly expressions on their faces and did not say a word. These people were either relatively young or stronger than the average warrior in East Lake City.

However, with just these people, they were still far from the required number of 10 people.

“All of you are the pillars of East Lake City. The beast tide is about to happen. You don’t want the beast tide to reach the city, right?” Ren Pingsheng said calmly, his tone carrying a hint of a threat.

When the warriors in the meeting room heard this, they looked at each other.

Of course, they understood this reasoning. If the beast tide attacked the city, the losses would definitely be far greater than if they were kept at bay outside the city.

The casualties when containing the beast tide in the mountains would all be martial arts practitioners, and every year, a new batch of martial artists would appear.

As long as the city was safe and sound, there was still a future.

Even though that was the logic behind it, after cultivating to the warrior realm, who would not want to protect their lives? These people were all big shots in East Lake City.

“I think 10 people is too many. East Lake City can’t mobilize too many warriors. Besides, Nightwater City is closer to the Nuhe Mountain Range,” Lei Bojun said with a frown.

Although Lei Bojun was rather old, the Tongbeiquan technique he cultivated specialized in strength, which was best for fighting on the battlefield. He was considered someone who could be asked to go but also had the right to reject the request.

“I’ve already discussed it with Nightwater City. We only need to send out 10 people, and they will send out 12,” Ren Pingsheng replied.

Lei Bojun’s expression froze as he was rebutted.

“Since no one took the initiative, I’ll just make the arrangements. Jiang Weishun… Lei Bojun,” Ren Pingsheng said calmly.

It took less than a minute to read out the names of the 10 people. Ren Pingsheng clearly had a list of people shortlisted, and had only discussed it with all of them out of basic respect.
