“Nonsense!”
“Do you know what kind of damage that will cause?!”
“If we drop a nuclear bomb so close to the city, all of us will in deep trouble!”
Everyone jumped up at almost the same time. That suggestion had scared them rather heavily.
“But nobody knows what kind of damage that person will create! Let’s not talk about other things, if that fellow just decides to come to the city one day when his mood isn’t good, the results of him being there might even be worse than a nuclear bomb!”
The middle-aged man who raised the sugggestion defended weakly. Wasn’t this group of old men all excited about the mushroom cloud just a few short hours ago?
Of course, none of the people who could reach their current position was a fool. Granted, they had been too agitated earlier, but now that they’d calmed down, they would naturally not talk about dropping nuclear bombs so easily.
“That method is absolutely out of the question. A 20 km distance, even with large mountains as natural barrier, is still too close to the city. Not mentioning the radiation, if the bomb was dropped on Blue Spirit Mountain itself, at least 10 percent of Qingcheng city will be wiped out by the shock wave! But if we dropped the bomb further down in the large mountains, only encompassing the Blue Spirit Mountain range within the blast range, that would be too risky as well. Those people’s speed is too fast—they might be able to escape,” the old man at the head of the group said as he massaged his temples. The past few decades were fine and peaceful, but the recent few years had been haunted by the appearance of all manner of monsters and freaks.
But when he thought about the chaos in some other countries, the old man still felt like the freaks in his country were a little cuter and gentler.
The old man rapped his fingers against the table and suddenly asked, “Blue Spirit Mountain, I remember that the owner of that place is a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert?”
“That’s right, there’s even two more Controlled Dan cultivators and a Demonic Beast that’s equivalent to the Controlled Dan realm in strength under that person’s command. Even in the entire country, that lineup is considered one of the top few. The owner is quite a low profile character in the country, but he’s done a few big missions overseas,” someone supplied immediately. People like Bei Feng were not exactly stable characters. Thus, it was natural for there to be intel on them.
“That person has entered Blue Spirit Mountain for a very long time already, and he hasn’t left yet. Could they have come to some sort of agreement?” someone asked hesitantly.
“We cannot rely on guesses. What about the satallites? Did we manage to catch any images of them?” the old man asked in a hoarse voice.
“No, the magnetic field around the entire Blue Spirit Mountain range is rather strange; it’s impossible to see anything even with the satallites,” someone replied immediately.
To the humans on Earth, many places were still considered restricted areas too dangerous for exploration. At the same time, strange geographical formations existed in many places.
“Send someone to find out what’s going on.”
The old man hesitated for a moment and sent down an order. The matter was extremely important.
In less than half an hour, 10 attack helicopters landed at the Blue Spirit Mountain range.
The original group of security personnel had already been changed as everyone had earned enough money and returned home to accompany their children. Bei Feng was not some tyrant to keep those people with him no matter what.
This batch of security guards was newly recruited two years ago. They were also former military personnel.
The moment they saw the military helicopters, the security group directly stepped aside without a word.
But they still rung Bei Feng’s villa to inform him.
By the time three people sent by the government reached his villa, Bei Feng was already waiting at the hall for them.
Bei Feng was not very interested in talking to these people. He directly remarked, “I know what you’re here for. There’s no need to worry, you may return now.”
The leader of the three immediately turned and whispered to the two expert negotiators by his side with a frown on his face. This fellow didn’t deal his cards in a logical manner!
The leader of the group was not a small figure in the military, and also knew about Bei Feng. Thus, he did not dare to put on any airs and said tentatively, “Mr Bei, this matter is very important. We can’t possibly just turn back with one sentence from you. If it’s possible, please let us meet with that person.”
The two expert negotiators behind him were also smart people and could tell that Bei Feng’s status was extraordinary. They didn’t do anything dumb like trying to annoy Bei Feng and slap his face with words. They simply stood quietly behind the middle-aged man, pretending to be invisible.
“Just go back. We’re leaving tomorrow and might never return again. There’s no need to be so nervous.”
Bei Feng directly rejected the middle-aged man’s request. He was actually doing the three a favor. With the unstable temper of Wang Wuyou, they might suddenly get killed if they were not careful.
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and looked at the other two. How could they not be nervous? There was a whole bunch of old fogeys waiting for the results of their mission!
But he was not in a position to make any decisions on the spot. Left without a choice, he went outside the villa and dialled a number.
Bei Feng did not try to listen to the middle-aged man’s conversation. If he wanted to do so, it would be extremely simple for him.
The middle-aged man returned very quickly, with a relieved smile on his face. “Mr Bei, sorry for bothering you tonight. We’ll be leaving now.”
“Wait a minute, leave two helicopters and their pilots here; we need them to bring us to another place tomorrow.”
Bei Feng turned around and returned to the villa without waiting for the middle-aged man to respond.
The three looked at each ther with a bitter smile. So it turned out that this fellow was also another domineering grandpa! Those were military attack helicopters they were talking about, but Bei Feng was talking about it as if they were toys to be lent to him to play with for a few days.
The two negotiators at the back shook their heads and smiled weakly. These two expert negotiators had actually not been able to say a single word from the start. Before they knew it, they were even leaving with two helicopters less...
Early the next morning, Bei Feng woke up and took a lengthy shower before walking out relaxedly.
Bai Xiang and Mystic One had also woken up. Their feelings were extremely complicated at this point as they looked at the familiar piece of land. A strange feeling of emptiness lingered in their hearts.
Far away, Wang Wuyou stood atop a mountain ridge, facing the rising sun. Large amounts of purple Qi streamed endlessly towards him, swallowed by his mouth. His entire person was wrapped in a layer of dense purple mist.
“I will be back.”
Bei Feng carried the little fox in his arms and floated into the air. With a wave of his hand, a huge Giant Bear paw appeared above the villa.
“Peng!”
The specially built villa that was built to withstand powerful earthquakes was like tofu in Bei Feng’s hand, directly crumbling apart into a pile of rubble.
A pair of huge Heavenly Sky Wings appeared on his back, slashing towards a huge 600 meters tall small mountain!
This slash had been done with Bei Feng’s full strength. Unknowingly, a powerful pressure appeared from the sky. Dark clouds covered the sky, and numerous arc of lightning sparkled within the clouds like dragons tossing.
‘Is that the source of the danger that I keep feeling?’
Bei Feng raised his head and looked upwards. Earth’s Lingqi had been depleting too rapidly in the recent years. Even now, the already scarce Lingqi was still disappearing at a constant pace.
Such a phenomenon actually appeared when his cultivation was fully unleashed. Quite clearly, the heavens would not even permit cultivators to break through to the Controlled Dan middle stage now!
The Heavenly Sky Wings on Bei Feng’s back were like a pair of blades as they carved through the smooth rock surface of the small mountain, leaving a set of words.
“Those who taint this land shall die!”
Several huge words were engraved into the stone wall, and a swift and fierce aura lingered on them.
A set of 36 small flags appeared in Bei Feng’s hand, their blackness so deep that it caused one’s skin to crawl.
Bei Feng spat out a mouthful of blood onto the small flags; then, with a light fling, they flew to different corners and sank into the ground!
These small flags were not very useful to Bei Feng, but to people with mental power lower than 3 Stars grade, they were extremely deadly. Using the Yin vein’s energy under the ground, the formation set up with the flags could beguile and capture the spirits of anyone!
Bei Feng made several hand seals and smashed them towards the ground. Each hand seal was powered by his own blood essence.
A huge change began to take place. With the peach trees as the anchor points, anyone who destroyed the peach trees would trigger the formation, and their spirits would be captured.
As long as the flags were not destroyed, the Yin vein would be sufficient to maintain the formation for a long time. Unless a wide-area attack or weapon was used on the entire area, flattening it completely, or a person with mental power exceeding 3 Stars grade acted, it was impossible to remove the formation!
After finishing everything, Bei Feng stood in the air and looked down at the entire mountain valley filled with black and pink peach trees. In that moment, he fell silent, as if he could see himself and Mystic Moon planting each tree one by one.
To Bei Feng, this place was an extremely precious memory.
The four humans and one beast burst through the air, quickly appearing outside the villa estate.
Two helicopters had remained parked there.
“Your work here is finished from today onwards, everyone may go now,” Bei Feng spoke as he hovered above the stupefied security guards.
The group of security guards did not fully register Bei Feng’s words. All they had in their heads was that these people could actually fly! They wouldn’t have bumped into some ghosts, right?
The two helicopters left soon after, disappearing into the distance in the direction of Hangu Pass.
Wang Wuyou sighed and said, “Although This King has somewhat come to understand this world, it’s still quite unbelievable to ride in one of these miraculous things. If This King’s had these things in my Wu Kingdom in the past, we could have expanded at least 10 times further!”
With the aid of these machines, even an ordinary person could fly through the air, although it wasn’t as fast as him flying by himself.
But how many people could reach the Controlled Dan realm and gain the ability to fly? There was no way that training to a certain cultivation level just to fly would be able to rival the effect of arming the entire nation with these machines. As his thoughts travelled thus, Wang Wuyou could not help but sigh with amazement at the intellect of this era’s people.
Bei Feng nodded and said lightly, “Exactly, in just a short hundred over years, the world has progressed to such a point. Perhaps the foreign people who invented the aeroplane had not imagined such a glorious era themselves.”
“Foreigners? You mean the ‘outer races’? This King had killed tens of millions of their cultivators in the past. As for the ordinary outer race people, This King could not even recall the number I’ve slaughtered. I believe you’ve seen their remains in This King’s tomb before.”
Wang Wuyou smiled lightly as a look of reminiscence flashed past his face.
“...”
Your sister! No wonder there was so little of each foreign race compared to them. It was said that the foreign lands were constantly in war, which was why their population was lower. But now, Bei Feng strongly suspected that this fellow must have had something to do with it!
“This era is truly glorious, but unfortunately, it’s truly not suitable for us now.”
Bei Feng sighed lightly.
“People like us are now redundant in this world. We’re like a virus on this planet, and the planet’s consciousness itself is restricting us. If we don’t leave soon, all cultivators at or above the Controlled Dan realm will be suppressed to death unless we cripple our own cultivation.”
Wang Wuyou’s voice sounded a little depressed. The moment he saw the huge cloud appearing above Bei Feng’s head, he already knew about the situation here.
Bei Feng’s foundation was enough for him to break through long ago, but he’d forcefully suppressed his own cultivation from rising. Just using his full strength to attack had drawn such a powerful lightning cloud. If Bei Feng had really tried to break through earlier, that lightning bolt would have struck down for sure.
It was not only Bei Feng and the rest who were anxious. All the super experts from all over the world were also rushing towards China at this time!
The governments of every country were all clapping their hands gleefully. They were only short of setting off some fireworks to celebrate their departure. Finally! These gods of plagues were finally leaving to torment someone else!
This was especially so for England, which happened to be the battlefield between the vampire half-demon race and the Church. They were the most heavily affected out of all the countries in the world!
