Rising Dragon Way Prologue Rising Dragon Way

  The Vatican has sent a subtle message to China, expressing its willingness to mend the unhappiness caused by certain reasons. At the same time, they expressed their intention to send a special delegation to visit China and establish diplomatic relations at the highest level. The Chinese government responded positively, emphasizing the importance of friendly relations between the two sides and looking forward to future prospects.

  The Pope smiled at Philo and said: "Look, China is eager to get in touch with us. After all, we have so many followers around the world. If we can stand on their side and occasionally help them say a few words, it will be very beneficial for their diplomatic policy... Take a look at the United States, which has already been said to be 'the sun sets in the west' by China, yet still finds fault with China's human rights every day. I think China would also like us to help them refute the Americans on this issue? Hmm? Philo, tomorrow you will release a statement saying that our Holy See fully supports China's current situation and they have no human rights issues."

  Feiluo furrowed his brow: "But Your Majesty, won't this offend the American government? Is it worth it?"

  The Pope shrugged his shoulders, snapped his fingers and said: "Of course it's a good deal. It's better to appease a rising great republic than to continue to take care of a decadent and fallen federal state... We must look at the trend of history, right? China has huge potential, while Americans will go bankrupt as soon as oil prices rise, it's just a matter of when this axe falls."

  He waved his hand impatiently: "Enough, don't discuss too much politics with me. What I care about now is whether our special envoy can attract the attention of the Chinese people. It must be high-standard, understand? Send a red-robed archbishop over to propose to the Chinese that they must take responsibility for his safety and draw the attention of China's security department entirely onto him. Only then can we do as we please in inland China... Is there any news from our scouts at the front?"

  "Yes, after investigation, it was found that the place with the highest frequency of disappearances is a place called Beimang Mountain. All followers who went there disappeared without any trace. In other key areas, some followers only got lost or fainted, but in Beimang Mountain, all the missing followers had no news."

  "The Pope nodded: "So, our first strike target is Beiyu Mountain. We must try to eliminate all the resisting people within one day, understand? That place must be a very important stronghold for them, so they would take such ruthless action. It might even be the headquarters of those Chinese people. Humph, we must hit their key point. Go, Philote, it's time for us to launch too. First, send out that delegation."

  Philote bowed, then slowly backed out. The Pope's slender fingers clenched into a fist and swung heavily in the air: "Christ redeems sin, but to grasp the faith of all China, it is also inevitable to mobilize some powers that do not belong to humanity... God, give me, your most loyal believer, a little revelation, since you can lead those people out of Egypt, I hope you can lead us safely into China. May the Lord's glory cover the whole world."

  The Pope felt that every muscle in his body was generating a tiny electric current, and he couldn't stop itching all over. Ah, if only the entire China could become followers of God, then he would be the greatest Pope in Vatican history, with an unprecedented achievement. The true Empire of the Sun would rise under his hands... Later, relying on China's strength, they would invade Russia, thoroughly eliminating those heretics who dared to split from the Church. Then, basically, the entire world would surrender to the Vatican?

  The Pope sneered in a low voice: "That place in Africa, I'm not interested. Let those rude cannibals worship God? Heaven, this is blasphemy against God, I won't allow such things to happen... Mastering China, advancing north into Russia, south into India, Thailand, and Burma... Hmph, these countries that worship false religions, I will make them all surrender under the feet of God."

  Look at the bright spring light outside the grand hall, the Pope is in a great mood. After his own efforts, the Vatican has also risen like this sun, and it's about to shine on the entire earth, isn't it?

  Yi Chen is dispatching a group of thugs, hoodlums and gangsters to Japan. They are excitedly holding the travel expenses given by their boss, drinking beer and shouting British slang songs as they rush forward. Since the boss said not to take action prematurely, it's just right to have some fun first. After all, Japan's sex industry is world-renowned, this can't be missed! Just thinking about those lovely Japanese girls makes these thugs' mouths water.

  "What a pity, Mr. Cain is on a mission in Milan, otherwise, if he were to lead them, these rascals would have become an army, but now they are just a bunch of organized rascals with weak combat power, however, it's enough to deal with the underworld."

  Sakura is signing a check and handing it to Phil, for those who went to Japan first to cover the expenses along the way. Upon hearing this, he raised his head and said: "Easy, dealing with the Japanese mafia doesn't require too many people, they don't have any heavy weapons, look at what you've equipped them with? The firepower level is too different, we'll definitely win."

  Yi Chen sneered: "Of course, think about it, more than 3,000 high-ranking blood nobles, how cute. Actually, one Grand Duke can take down those gangsters, what a waste of manpower." However, Yi Chen still had to send those people over, he had to appear very diligent, so that later when dividing the spoils of victory, he could occupy more benefits, right?

  Ge Er walked in and looked at Yi Chen with a puzzled expression: "Boss, Zhang has arrived."

  "Zhang? That bastard, what is he doing here again? The last time that Long Thirteen caused me trouble wasn't enough? Almost ruined my friendship with M. He's a jinx... but maybe he brought us some benefits too, who knows? Let him in, but don't be too enthusiastic, or he'll think we're eager for his arrival. This guy will never let go of any advantage he can get."

  Zhang walked in quickly with four young people, smiling at Yidun and saying: "Ah ha, Yi, your spirit is still so good, hmm, your complexion doesn't look bad either."

  Yi Chen hypocritically smiled and exaggeratedly hugged Zhang, saying: "Yes, it's great to see you! We haven't seen each other for a long time, have we? What brings you here?"

  Zhang glanced at Sakura, who was signing a check for one million euros, and muttered to himself. Sakura was still wearing the distinctive scarlet samurai uniform, which made Zhang feel uncomfortable as soon as he saw it. What is a Japanese person doing in Yidun's house? And dressing up like that... Hmm, pretty, yes, very pretty little boy, not handsome though. Dammit, does Yidun have that kind of hobby? But it didn't seem obvious on normal days. Zhang thought to himself and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

  Yi Chen pointed at Sakura and briefly introduced: "The person in charge of the London branch of the Yamaguchi-gumi, you should know his identity, right?"

  He nodded, he naturally knew, but just didn't know why Yichun wanted to keep him in "China Town". Yichun flicked his mouth and said: "He had a falling out with the Yamaguchi-gumi people, wiped out all the personnel of the London branch, now hiding here... Oh my god, Zhang, where have you been? Such a big case and you don't even know about it? The Japanese casino in London's West End had a massacre, this was splashed across the newspapers for several days, if not for my vast connections, Scotland Yard would've already rushed in to arrest people."

  "So what is he doing here now?" Zhang asked in a low voice. "I've had some tasks recently, so I haven't been in London."

  Yi Chen said in a low voice, "Oh, he's discussing with me the division of the Guashan Mountain Pass territory. Look, isn't he signing checks? That's action funds, can you conquer the world without money? If my younger brother suffers heavy casualties, the compensation will be a large sum too."

  Zhang's face turned white: "Yi, are you going to Japan to cause trouble?"

  Yi Chen shook his head repeatedly and said seriously, "You can't wrong me, how is this considered causing trouble? It's just helping a friend recover the power that originally belonged to him. I'm a person who likes to help others, don't try to stop me, I've already made up my mind, my friends have also decided, now this plan can't be stopped. Look, my over 1,000 subordinates have gone to Tokyo for sightseeing, heh heh, they're probably having fun with those Japanese women right now." Yi Chen rarely spoke so crudely.

  Zhang stared tightly at Yi Chen, suddenly smiled: "Well, I think the people you've taken a liking to should still be pretty good, maybe they'll be beneficial to us in the future too, right? But whatever you do, don't stir up too much trouble, okay? After all, Japan is just across from us and we're very concerned about the waves above."

  "Rest assured, we're dealing with the underworld, not them. Bribing officials is a task for Sakuya herself... So, what's this about? Hmm? Are you missing me that much, wanting to have a free meal here?"

  The faces of the four young people behind Zhang were slightly distorted, their eyes filled with amusement as they looked at him. Zhang gave them an awkward glance and pulled Yi Chen to sit down on the sofa in the corner of the room, saying in a low voice: "I have to rush back home, damn Vatican suddenly wants to establish ties with us, and they even want to send a high-level delegation to China, their plan is to tour around China, spreading the gospel, we all need to go back to take care of his security."

  Yi Chen nodded lightly and patted the armrest of the sofa, asking: "Why? Don't you guys care about your work outside anymore? Did everyone run back?"

  Zhang smiled bitterly: "You don't know how much importance the top attaches to this matter, the Vatican's recognition of us can change the perception of our country in the entire Western society, and have a positive auxiliary effect on many of our policies. Therefore, we must guarantee their safety with absolute certainty, many people are not happy to see the Vatican and us become friends. They will definitely send a large number of assassins to deal with the delegation, we can only mobilize all the good hands to take charge of this matter."

  Yi Chen stared at him blankly for a while, then shook his head gently and said: "Zhang, that is to say, for the sake of one delegation, all the attention and energy of your colleagues will be occupied by them, busy with their safety every day, right?"

  Zhang nodded slightly: "Yes, they have a large number of people, and one delegation consists of a red-robed archbishop and more than 300 followers. We must ensure that none of them are harmed, otherwise it would be our dereliction of duty. Our forces outside are not enough at the moment... Uh, Yi, can you help out when the time comes?"

  Yi Chen bitterly smiled: "Heavens, what can I help you with? Hmm?"

  Zhang gazed at Yi Chen: "The UK and the US are still firmly allied, but the Americans will never let us become friends with the Vatican. They must have sent assassins to operate in China. The British can't possibly not have received any wind of this, given their joint surveillance system with the US on the British Isles? Our people's hands may be able to get some intelligence, but it won't be comprehensive. I want to get some information directly from the top levels of the UK through you. Can that be done? Of course, I'll compensate you."

  Yi Chen furrowed his brow, saying impatiently: "Stop mentioning compensation, do you really think I'm a greedy ghost? What do you think the Vatican's true intention is?"

  "America has already begun to decline, China is rising in the East, and perhaps the Vatican also needs a powerful force as their backing?"

  Yi Chen shook his head and said in a low voice, "What you got is purely the official statement, but the information I received is completely different. Zhang, calm down and listen to me. The Vatican is not just a center of religious faith as it appears, but rather, they possess powerful forces that can set human civilization back hundreds of years. Shh, I'm not talking about myths, otherwise, do you think my few fellow disciples' powers came from nowhere?"

  Zhang's eyes widened, and he nodded slowly, indicating that Yichun should continue. Yichun twirled his fingers and said in a low voice, "This time, the reason why the Vatican wants to send a delegation to China is not only because of what you said, but also because they want to carry out another Crusade, do you understand? It's a sequel to the historical Crusades that were conducted to reclaim the Holy Land. However, this time their target is China, and they want to thoroughly destroy China's beliefs, eliminate Buddhism, Taoism, and other things that may influence people, such as magic, sorcery, and demons, and make their God the only belief in China."

  Zhang shook his head and said, "Easy, how is that possible? We don't have any wind of it. Attack China? Are you kidding me? Just relying on those missionaries of theirs? A rapid reaction brigade can wipe out all their people."

  He said bluntly, "This is the most primitive concept of war you have. Do you think they will lead the Pope and carry rocket launchers to annihilate China's army? Zhang, what they need to deal with are not secular forces, but people with certain supernatural abilities. These people are now the core of China's Buddhist and Taoist religions. The Vatican wants to deal with them. They are also afraid that China's army will join in because many of them cannot withstand the attack of modern heavy weapons, so they sent a delegation to attract all your official attention."

  "Yi, I don't know what to say, but I just can't convince the people above... To be honest, I've seen a few of your junior brothers' superpowers, but if you say there are many such people in the world, I, myself, also find it hard to believe."

  Yi Chen looked at him for half a day, waved his hand and said: "Gor, please ask Mr. Dekula to come over, I have something to entrust him with."

  Míxuě'er jumped in from outside the door, holding three scorpion tails and shouting: "Yì, what are you doing? Uncle lost a lot of money and is getting angry..."

  Yi Chen smiled and said: "Oh, Miss Moxi, you can't help with this matter, you don't want to." Moxi hummed and jumped in place for 7-8 meters before rushing out the door. Then her shrill voice was heard: "Jester, where did you put the food I gave you for the scorpion? You're really lazy, humph!"

  Deacula walked in with a gloomy face, gave Zhang a weird look and said in a low voice: "Easy, what's going on? Hmph, those Golons must be cheating, otherwise how could I have lost so much?"

  Yi Chen smiled and said: "Oh, Mr. Dekula, it's nothing, this gentleman doesn't believe in the Vatican... the real existence of the Vatican, so I think you should give him a little evidence. Right, if you can make him believe that the Vatican and the dark world are truly existent, I think the power in his hands will be a great trouble for the Pope."

  "Deacula let out an impatient roar, and the clothes on his back suddenly burst open. Two white-gold bat wings over three meters long stretched out with a 'whoosh', and his entire body's muscles swelled by 30%. His long fangs extended, and his black fingernails grew longer by more than ten centimeters. Deacula looked at Zhang with malice, laughing smugly: "Hahahaha, kid, take a good look? I am the Grand Duke of Blood Clan, also known as a vampire... Hmph! Lend me one million, I've lost all my cash, and all my credit cards and checks were taken away by that little Michelle. Now I don't have a single penny on me."

  Zhang almost fainted, who would have thought that such a powerful monster would say something like borrowing money next? Sakura floated over to the other side and lightly tossed a check over, saying: "Mr. Dracula, consider it borrowed from me, consider it my investment, if you win, just give me a little bit of profit."

  De Qiula smiled slightly, and after a thick smoke, he resumed his dignified old gentleman's demeanor, bowed slightly, and smiled as he took the check away.

  Zhang's face was darker than ever as he looked at Yi, asking in a low voice: "Is everything you said true?"

  Yi Chen smiled and said: "Of course, I never tell lies, especially on major issues. I can tell you that perhaps the ultimate goal of the Vatican is to eliminate all opposition in the world and then restore the glory of the Roman Catholic Kingdom. Don't forget, at that time, any European country's coronation ceremony would require the Pope to attend, otherwise it would not be recognized by the world. I think... China does not want to become a vassal state of the Vatican in the end, right?"

  Zhang nodded coldly and stood up, saying: "In that case, there's no need to protect the safety of their delegation either. I'll report everything I saw today, but Yi, you have to give me some evidence to take back to my country. Otherwise, I won't be able to convince my superiors."

  "Evidence? My junior brother, Yiyangzi, is still in your department, right? Tell him I said to bring his superior with him to the back mountain of Emei Mountain and everything will be clear... Ah, Zhang, let me give you a suggestion. When dealing with people from the Vatican, those who are dressed in uniform are all from their religious tribunal, or rather, their hitmen. They're very skilled, but those high-ranking officials, bishops, priests, etc., if they're caught off guard, one handgun can take them down. Got it?"

  Zhang nodded slightly, about to take people out. Yi Chen suddenly stopped him and said: "I can give you evidence that everyone in the world will see, I want to prove one thing, even if all the representatives die, the Vatican still wants to establish relations with China, understand? This is enough to show that their purpose is not to have a relationship with China, OK?"

  Zhang looked at Yi Chen deeply, nodded, and showed a knowing smile as he walked out. Just as they were about to leave, Zhang and the others saw another chilling scene: Prince Kefis was hugging a stack of banknotes, grinning from ear to ear, and sank into the floor. A pair of black-rimmed eyes glanced at them disdainfully, let out a few snorts, and continued to gamble downstairs.

  "Good heavens! Is Easy's 'China Town' going to turn into a haunted house club? Book my ticket, I need to rush back."

  Just ten hours after Zhang's plane took off, a special plane from the Vatican also took off slowly at Rome's airport. Cain stood on a hill outside the airport, exerting his full strength, and punched out a thick silver light that flashed slightly, a huge fireball appeared in the air, vaguely visible were more than a dozen white lights flying out, then countless fragments fell to the ground. Cain nodded and said: "The boss was right, they hid a master among them, and managed to escape."

  Media outlets around the world almost simultaneously reported, half an hour later, that the Vatican's delegation to China was attacked, with no survivors at the scene and not even body fragments found. Naturally, the media began wildly speculating who masterminded this assassination and marveled at the efficiency of the killers.

  Just as some people in the United States were rejoicing, a spokesperson for the Vatican issued a statement on behalf of the Pope: "We highly value our friendly relations with China. Despite facing numerous obstacles, we will definitely become friends with China. May God bless those innocent victims, may God punish those evil enemies, and may those who sacrificed for friendship rest in peace... The Vatican will soon send a new delegation to visit China, and no matter how strong the forces of evil are, they cannot shake our confidence in achieving friendship."

  Fei Long's primordial spirit was spotted by several demon kings' subordinates when it entered the Chinese territory. They recognized that this was a righteous cultivator with considerable cultivation, so they chased after him relentlessly, wanting to devour his primordial spirit to increase their own cultivation. Fei Long was in a terrible state, wandering around the southwestern border for several days before barely shaking off those demons and rushing back to the 'Tao De Sect' mountain gate.

  Fa Tian Lao Dao was in the 'Xuan Wei Dong' of the 'Dao De Zong' headquarters, where he was explaining the subtleties of their sect's heart method to his disciples. As soon as Fei Long's primordial spirit entered the 'Dao De Zong', Fa Tian Lao Dao sensed it and let out a surprised question: "What's going on? Why has Fei Long's primordial spirit returned so weakly? Where are Fei Xing and Fei He?"

  "A faint and ethereal voice drifted over: 'Master, save me...'"

  Fa Tian's old Daoist heart was greatly shocked, and with a wave of his hand, a clear light shot out, bringing the already powerless Flying Dragon Daozhang's primordial spirit over, protecting it within his own 'Taiqing Shengguang', and asked: "What's going on? How did you end up coming back in such a miserable state? Could those alien tribe cultivators really be that formidable?"

  Fei Long Dao Zhang's heart suddenly relaxed, and the several magical artifacts protecting his body immediately lost control, reverting to their original form as they floated in mid-air. Fei Long Dao Zhang's primordial spirit transformed into a small, three-inch-tall figure, kneeling down within the 'Tai Qing Shen Guang' as he wailed and lamented: "Master... Master... those two junior brothers of mine died such tragic deaths! Yi Chen Zi, he actually colluded with those foreign cultivators, using his innate true fire to incinerate the primordial spirits of both junior brothers from behind, and even severely injured himself."

  All the elders and disciples of the Daoist sect were shocked, shouting loudly. Fa Tian Lao Dao roared: "Silence, Fei Long, tell us in detail."

  "The Dragon Path Master said with a gloomy face: 'Master, we went to Rome's Vatican, which is the stronghold of those foreign cultivators. They are secretly preparing to launch a surprise attack on our Middle Earth. I also saw that their leader's cultivation is extremely profound, almost comparable to the strength of Tian Xing Zong's Tian Xinzi. We originally used the method of escaping with our yuan god to secretly investigate, but those foreign cultivators couldn't detect our movements at all. Who would have thought that Yi Chenzi had colluded with them?'"

  "A dust child unexpectedly encountered a strange encounter, and now his power has greatly increased. He easily discovered the whereabouts of three disciples, but he actually sneaked up behind them and launched a surprise attack on the two junior brothers, causing their souls to scatter on the spot. If it weren't for the protective treasures given by Master, I wouldn't be able to see your face again... I used nine demon-subduing mallets to escape, but was surrounded by thousands of cultivators from other sects. The mallets couldn't withstand such a heavy attack and were completely shattered, and my physical body also... Master, the two junior brothers died so miserably, you must avenge them!"

  Fa Tian Lao Dao burst out laughing, his smile growing wider and more joyful by the second. The killing intent emanating from the 'Dao De Zong' disciples around him grew thicker, while Fei Long Dao Zhang's heart swelled with excitement, but his primordial spirit was a picture of terror, its head hung low in fear.

  Fa Tian Lao Dao suddenly stopped laughing and gave a low order: "Huode Shidi, you quickly go to the East Sea 'Xuan You Palace', ask the palace master for some of the 'Jiuhun Dan' refined from the thousand-year-old continuous cut gel; Kongde Shidi, you go to the Heavenly Mountain to find that nine-fingered old monster, tell him that our 'Dao De Zong' owes him a personal favor, when his heavenly calamity arrives, we will definitely assist him with all our might and help him ascend; ask him for a 'Xuanling Huan Ti' condensed from a thousand years of ice. Fa Qing Shidi, you gather the four major branches of 'Tian Shu', 'Tian Xun', 'Tian Ji', and 'Tian Wei' and invite as many senior fellows as possible to come to the mountain gate for a meeting."

  Three old Taoists hastily exited the 'Mystic Microcosm Cave', and a streak of clear light split into three directions.

  "The 'Tian Xing Sect' was founded by a Daoist child over a thousand years ago. Since ancient times, we have always yielded to them seven out of ten times. But this traitor, Yi Chenzi... Hmph! We can't go find the Tian Xing Sect to argue just because Yi Chenzi hurt our sect members. We only need to deal with him alone, lest the world's Daoist practitioners say that our 'Dao De Sect' is bullying others with our power. After all, we are the orthodox Daoist school. Hmph! Now, first, let Fei Long re-condense his soul and recover his abilities. Then, gather fellow Daoist practitioners to counter the heterodox cultivators. Once things are settled, we'll go find Yi Chenzi to avenge this injustice. He annihilated the primordial spirits of two of our sect members; I won't be too excessive. I just want to send his primordial spirit to the Ninth Heaven's Light Wind, where it will be blown by the winds for ten thousand years."

  Fei Long's heart was filled with great joy, his primordial spirit having been cleansed by the Nine Heavenly Gale. No matter how high and profound your cultivation is, as long as you are still human, after suffering for a thousand years at most, your soul will definitely scatter and disperse. Master, this is showing that I am going to give myself an outlet. Fei Long secretly cursed in his heart: "Yi Chenzi, go die! Haha, the 'Tao De Sect' has not gathered the four major branches for hundreds of years, this time it's your turn to enjoy, isn't it?"

  The people at the entrance of the Daoist sect all flattered, flattering Fa Tian Lao Dao, saying that he was so in line with heaven's will and so righteous. In fact, they all knew that Fa Tian Lao Dao's intention was just to torture Chi Zi for a thousand years before letting his primordial spirit disperse. However, since he was the master of their own sect, this flattery still had to be done, after all, Fa Tian Lao Dao would eat this set, right?

  Fa Tian Lao Dao and Sheng said: "Flying Dragon, you've suffered this time. Get up! When the 'Condensed Soul Pill' and 'Mystical Spirit Phantom Body' arrive, I'll help you re-condense your soul and restore your physical body. Hmph... What's the situation with Yi Chenzi in that heretical sect?"

  "He? According to my observation, he has a very high status among them. Those heterodox cultivators who surrounded and attacked us three were all under his command, and the tone of his voice was extremely rude, treating those heterodox cultivators like running dogs. It seems that he has extremely high authority, and no one dares to refute him... However, it's strange that we received other intelligence, and it turns out that Yī Chén Zǐ actually has a huge fortune in another country, and Píng Yuè doesn't even go to the Vatican, but for some reason."

  "Hmph, the cunning rabbit has three burrows. He lets outsiders think he has no connection with those heterodox cultivators, just to deceive people's ears and eyes. Unfortunately, he doesn't know that our 'Taoist Sect' has sent three disciples to risk their lives to investigate his true nature. No matter how cunning and deceitful he is, how can he hide from the world?"

  Fei Long Dao Chang hastily knocked his head and said: "Master is wise, it must be so. Yi Chenzi has an extremely deep understanding of our Zhongtu Xiu Shi Men Pai, if he becomes a mole, the calamity will not be shallow."

  Fa Tian Lao Dao sneered, "Even if he is a top-notch cultivator, what can he do to me? We are the only ones who know the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, and we can reach the realm of harmony between heaven and man. Can those heterodox cultivators compare with us? No matter how many people they send, we can still easily eliminate them like withering grass."

  A long-bearded old Taoist walked out of the ranks and asked, "Brother, it seems that the cultivators of other sects are also about to take action. Should we prepare as well? Those captured spies were only soaked in the cold pool for three days before being released. However, with so many people spying on our mountain gate, it's clear they're about to launch an attack soon. Currently, apart from strengthening the defensive array outside the mountain gate, we don't have any special preparations. Should we inform fellow Taoists?"

  Fa Tian Lao Dao nodded: "Fa De Shidi is right, we should inform our fellow Taoists and invite them to come to the 'Dao De Zong' mountain gate to resist foreign enemies together. Although they also have a premonition, it's better for us to communicate with each other... Hmm, let's invite the Daoist friends from 'Xuan You Gong', 'Bi Luo Gu', 'Tou Tian Zong', 'Huan Shi Zong', 'Cha Wei Jiao' and other sects to come."

  The several elders of the 'Moral Sect' looked at each other, nodded silently, and the sects mentioned by Fa Tian Lao Dao were all inclined towards the 'Moral Sect'. For example, the 'Wu Xing Sect', 'Dun Jia Sect', 'Xiao Yao Sect', 'Yu Jian Sect' and other large sects that had a good relationship with the 'Tian Xing Sect' were not invited.

  Fa Tian Lao Dao stroked his beard with a faint smile, thinking to himself: "Let's see if the 'Tian Xing Sect' can discover these unusual movements. If not, they'll be in for a loss. Those sects are all so close to you, of course they won't acknowledge my 'Dao De Sect's' orthodox status. What use do you have for them?" Fa Tian Lao Dao didn't know that it was because of his own momentary lapse that China's Taoist practitioners were completely split into two factions, and his 'Dao De Sect' branch was still at a disadvantage.

  Fei Long Dao Zhang's eyes rolled around in circles, and he suddenly knelt down on the ground, crying out again: "Master, Master, please take charge!"

  Fa Tian Lao Dao was greatly shocked and hastily asked: "What's going on again? Have you thought of something else?"

  Fei Long Dao Zhang was affected by the evil energy of 'Killing Moon', which drove his narrow, selfish and lustful heart to shout like a mad dog: "Master, I barely escaped with my life from the Western region, but who would have thought that I would run into several subordinates of the Demon King? They were the Fire Scorpion Essence, the Ape Essence, the Earth Dragon Essence and others. They chased me for three days and four nights, wanting to seize my innate divine spirit to increase their own powers."

  Fa Tian Lao Dao's eyes widened, the heterodox cultivator seized the orthodox cultivator's primordial spirit to increase his own power, which was a taboo topic in the entire Zhongtu cultivation world. And yet, the demon king's subordinate brazenly snatched the flying dragon's primordial spirit, wasn't this trying to stir up strife between the righteous and evil factions?

  The Dragon Sect's Daoist added fuel to the fire, saying: "I've already told them that I'm a disciple of the 'Moral Integrity Sect', but they actually said that if it were me in this situation, then it would be... even if it were..."

  Fa Tian Lao Dao's face sank as he said, "What did they say?"

  Fei Long Dao Chang's expression turned pitiful as he secretly glanced at Fa Tian Lao Dao and said, "I hope the master will forgive me for my offense, only then dare I speak."

  Fa Tian Lao Dao's face turned even darker, and he growled: "What did they say?"

  Fei Long Dao Chang licked his lips and said in a low voice, "They say that if Fa Tian, that old mixed breed, was beaten into this kind of wretched state, they would also sneak in to take advantage of the situation. How could it be otherwise for a disciple?"

  A palm of thunder struck out, a golden light flashed by, and with a loud roar, a deep hole appeared on the top of the "Mystic Microcosm Cave". He gritted his teeth and said: "Good, good, good, really good! These damned beasts, who have managed to cultivate their bodies into human form, dare to behave so recklessly. Good, good, good! Once this matter is settled, I'll gather the righteous cultivators to go to Mount Wu and ask them for justice. Hmph, do they really think that these aberrants can run amok in the world?"

  Fei Long Dao Chang bowed his head with a smile all over his face and said respectfully: "Master is wise..."

  Zhang's tongue was almost worn out, and his throat was also filled with a thick smoke. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled bitterly as he explained to the three generals in front of him: "Boss, I know you don't believe me, but please, just trust me a little bit, okay? Those guys from the Vatican, this time they really didn't have good intentions."

  The three marshals looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and the one sitting in the middle with a serious expression, looking around sixty years old, said in a deep voice: "You little devil, what are you talking about? The Vatican wants to control China on a spiritual level? They even have an Inquisition, do you think you're telling medieval fairy tales? You're usually so astute, how did you become like this? Hmm? Have you been bewitched by those Western girls outside?"

  The three marshals burst out laughing, looking at Zhang with a smile.

  "Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you three old men. You don't believe me and I have no choice. I have evidence. Didn't the Public Security Department assemble a group of ordinary citizens as members of an action team? They..."

  The middle-aged colonel nodded and said, "We also acknowledge the existence of superpowers. We know they are people with extraordinary abilities who yearn to serve their country, which is why we agreed to let them enter the Security Department to assist in our daily work. However, little devil, what you're saying is too far-fetched. That Pope appears on TV every other day, and no matter how I look at him, he doesn't seem like the kind of monster who can take down a heavy artillery with one punch."

  Zhang smiled bitterly: "That time in the East Sea, it was the Pope who led a group of people to pursue China, and then they were met head-on by Chinese monks and beaten back. You three big shots must have this information, right?"

  The three of them looked at each other, nodded solemnly and said in a low voice: "This is what we say to outsiders, that we are experimenting with large-scale laser holographic display technology, but..."

  Zhang took another sip of tea, then raised his cup: "Which brother can get me some water? I don't believe there's no way to make you guys believe." A guard standing next to him, slightly amused, brought over a thermos and refilled Zhang's cup, muttering under his breath: "This guy is deliberately being stubborn this time."

  Zhang didn't understand the guard's joke, and muttered to himself: "You see, the first delegation from the Vatican was eliminated, but they don't seem to be sad at all. Instead, they're already planning to send a second delegation. Why is that? Of course, this shows how much they value our friendship, but you three big shots, don't you think their perspective has changed too quickly? Before, they were always pointing fingers at us, but this time there was no warning sign, and suddenly they want to make friends with us. What's the logic behind that?"

  The general on the left said in a low voice, "There are indeed great doubts, but this is something their foreign ministry should consider, not a reason for you to ask us to impose martial law and have snipers on high alert for all suspicious foreigners. Are we going to assign ten snipers to follow every single foreigner around the clock? That's impossible."

  The superior on the right said, "There is not enough evidence to prove those absurd myths you spoke of. We cannot convey your requests upwards and we ourselves would not agree to the conditions you have proposed."

  A clear voice came: "I can give you evidence." A silver light flickered slightly, and Yangzi stood in a corner of the conference room.

  Four guards let out a loud roar, and with a synchronized punch, they struck at Yiyangzi. Yiyangzi didn't want to hurt them, so he slightly used some force to deflect their attack to the side. However, the four guards' strength was unexpectedly great, and an overwhelming pressure came crashing down like an avalanche. Yiyangzi had no choice but to summon his true yuan energy to meet their punch head-on. With a loud "boom", Yiyangzi's body was actually knocked back three steps.

  The four guards were also stunned. One punch from them could kill the strongest bull, but this guy was hit by four punches and didn't react at all?

  Zhang had already shouted out: "This little guy is called Yi Yang, he's a friend, it's just that the way he came in was a bit sudden... He belongs to the ××× Action Squad and is the leader of the first small group."

  The central general waved his hand, and the four guards retreated carefully to the back of the three men, cautiously watching Yangzi. Yangzi stepped forward a few steps, saying in a low voice: "Gentlemen generals, originally we have the ability to deal with those damned people from the Vatican, but we are afraid that if they fail, they will vent their anger on ordinary civilians, which would be our fault... This time, I hope you gentlemen can come up with a powerful measure."

  "Fundamentally, our struggle is hard to spread to the secular world. However, the people of the Vatican do not have our cultivation. If they set their minds on revenge against us, it will be a terrible thing. The entire New York was destroyed, but it was the result of less than 500 people fighting each other. This time, the struggle will be a catastrophic disaster with tens of thousands of people killing each other. We hope you can make some preparations and imitate their dark hand."

  The central general said in a low voice: "Your way of coming, is somewhat similar to the topic of human high-speed movement that the dragon group's affiliated department is studying. Hmm, I believe you have grasped some strange abilities, but how can we make us believe that demons, ghosts and gods are all existent? Give us sufficient evidence."

  One of the men spoke in a low voice, "I can give you evidence, but you have to go to Mount Emei in Sichuan yourself. I'll show you how we've hidden the mountain body for hundreds of kilometers around, and no one has discovered it for thousands of years."

  The three generals looked at each other, nodded and said: "Okay, but we don't need to go in person, our satellites can see everything. How much time do you need to let us see?"

  Yi Yangzi said faintly: "Now."

  Three minutes later, a screen was set up and the satellite signal was connected. The ground command center controlled a spare all-weather reconnaissance satellite to fly directly above Mount Emei. Wherever the camera went, it could be seen that on the ground, a small beetle was grooming its whiskers.

  One Yangzi let out a sigh and said helplessly, "We of the 'Tian Xing Zong' can make everyone see our mountain gate, but I hope that in the future no one will go to disturb our peace. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to find another place full of spiritual energy to cultivate." He flicked his hand and took out a jade token, a streak of silver light shot out of the conference room, flying straight towards the mountain gate of 'Tian Xing Zong'. One Yangzi smiled bitterly in his heart, "Elder brother, you really know how to get us into trouble... Although we have entered the secular world's departments to work, we haven't told them too many details. This time, all of our cultivators from Zhong Tu will be exposed."

  On the screen, a silver light flashed by, and Yangzi said in a low voice: "That was the command fire token I just sent out."

  A colonel on the staff glanced at his watch: "Less than three seconds, that light will reach Mount Emei..." Everyone looked at Yiyangzi with a strange expression, while Zhang was pleased to lift his second leg and hummed a tune. The general sitting next to him angrily knocked his head with a finger.

  The people in the conference room were suddenly startled, on the screen, a corner of Mount Emei's back mountain suddenly burst out with tens of thousands of silver stars. Then, one after another, dazzling silver light bands slowly flowed through the air, starting from a tiny point and slowly spreading outward like a tide. After that, it could be seen that over a thousand flag gates shook in the air for a moment, and then disappeared one by one. Immediately afterwards, all the silver lights suddenly converged, and three long-bearded Taoist priests appeared in mid-air. Below them, where the satellite was shining, a large piece of land suddenly appeared, with lush forests and countless tall halls inside.

  A technical soldier covered his mouth in surprise and muttered to himself: "Strange, just now I noticed that those mountain peaks that were connected together earlier are now suddenly deviated by tens of kilometers? Am I seeing things?"

  Three old Taoists bowed to the sky, and a flag gate flew out of their sleeves again. After countless silver lights flashed, Mount Emei restored its original appearance.

  A general sighed with a bitter smile: "Like this... um... how many such mountain gates are there in the country?"

  One of the Yangzi divine sons looked at him with a strange expression and said, "Hmmm, there are 100 orthodox sects in Central Plains, and the number of heterodox sects is also numerous. The size of each mountain gate is different, but 80% of them use heavy magic to cover it up... Hmmm, this region's area is quite troublesome to calculate. Of course, we seem to have occupied a part of state-owned land, but these lands have never been counted in the first place, right?"

  Zhang burst out laughing: "Hey, I say your way of occupying state-owned land is really interesting. Can't we play a trick like this on our overseas military bases too?" He blinked his eyes at several generals, and everyone in the conference room was shocked, looking at Zhang in surprise. Zhang shrugged: "I'm just daydreaming, don't look at me like that, I'll be embarrassed."

  The general in the middle just slammed his hand on the table: "Alright, your evidence is quite convincing... Hmm, little devil, you come with us to see some people. Those foreign monks in Vatican, if they dare to mess around, I'll dare to assemble bombers to deal with them!"

  Yiyangzi smiled and bowed slightly, then disappeared after a flash of silver light.
