147: Chapter 147 Making a Grand Debut

"Brother Lu, come quickly, come quickly, you're the only one missing."

"Brother Lu, why did you bring a guard to the banquet? This entourage of yours doesn't look like much of an entourage. If it's for safety, you should have brought someone with higher strength, right?"

"Old Lu, don't be so nervous all the time. The Governors Mansion is the safest place right now."

Lv Yang scanned the three of them with a fake smile, then fixed his gaze on Wei Ye.

"Safe? I don't think so."

Wei Ye frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Today is Madam Wei's birthday banquet, and I originally didn't want to bring it up."

"But since you mentioned safety, Old Wei, I have to offer some feedback to the Jingan Division."

"An important figure personally entrusted by the High Priest was followed yesterday, and then detained by the Jingan Division on some inexplicable charges. What do you call that?"

Wei Ye's expression turned extremely poor; he was also furious about this matter.

But this couldn't be blamed entirely on the juniors; these kinds of hidden landmines were simply unavoidable.

High Priest Shang Yuleng was willing to speak up righteously, "Brother Lu, your criticism is unreasonable. I have looked into the matter, and the Jingan Division's handling was fine; it was just an accident."

"An accident?" Lv Yang immediately turned back to stare at him with a strange laugh.

"The Jingan Division is accustomed to being muddled, so accidents are indeed possible. But that gentleman has recently been harassed by some disreputable women; is that also an accident?"

"Who are you calling disreputable!"

"Oh, I misspoke; it's a famous, chaste, and unyielding woman."

"You f***ing ~ ~!"

"Three brothers, say a little less; don't let outsiders laugh at us."

Liu Zhiming quickly mediated to stabilize the situation.

Lv Yang was imposing while snapping at people, but Tang Long, disguised as a guard, was cursing internally, feeling that this mission was a trap.

He had never been in a situation with so many experts gathered together. Under the vision of Fire Eye, this place was like a super-strong light pollution zone, stinging his eyes and making them uncomfortable.

Moreover, some old acquaintances, like Elder Zheng and Elder Jiang, had clearly recognized him.

Even Wei Cheng, sitting in another corner of the hall, was looking over here from time to time.

Now, not only was he being noticed by certain people, but the most f***ed up thing was that he discovered the vast majority of the waiters and maids in the Governors Mansion had the blasphemy mark on them.

And... that Governors wife, Wei Mingzhu, was actually a Sun Worshiper too!

They were simply outrageous, turning this Governors Mansion into a den for Sun Worshipers.

Looking at those bishops now, still squabbling amongst themselves, they were simply a bunch of big idiots.

Of course, the most hilarious one had to be Governor Xu.

Being able to marry such a wife, it would be unjustifiable if he didn't end up dying miserably in the future.

Actually, looking at it from another angle, Madam Wei's position was truly marvelous.

The Blasphemers and Sun Worshipers really had something going for them.

According to the confession of that Du Jiang from before, the code name of the Song City Sun Worshipers leader was Gravedigger, and now it could basically be confirmed that it was likely Madam Wei.

This code name was really not bad.

Judging from subsequent history, this Song City could indeed be considered the grave of the Dongyu Kingdom.

Thinking back carefully, after Yin Ying failed, the Blasphemers should have had some understanding of his strength. And that Du Jiang, if it wasn't a brainless, low-level mistake, was a carefully planned trap or probe.

A trap... didn't see any follow-up to that.

And as for a probe, what were they probing?

After thinking seriously for a few seconds, Tang Long gave himself an answer.

They were testing my eyes.

Regarding the fact that he could see the blasphemy mark, if it was just suspicion before, it should now be confirmed.

The next step would definitely be a ruthless sniper attack.

It was f***ing dangerous!

If he hadn't run into it today, he would likely have had to endure her condescending attacks for quite some time afterward.

If some of his other abilities were figured out as well, let alone any grand plans, his life would be at stake.

And just at this moment, an attendant shouted from outside the door.

"Major Staff Officer of the National Defense Army Headquarters, Wei Jian, arrives with his close friend, Rong Baichuan!"

A Major Staff Officer at headquarters didn't sound like a high-ranking official, but the people in the hall stood up in a flurry again, especially the brothers and sisters of the Wei Family.

Because this Wei Jian was, surprisingly, the youngest son of the Wei Family.

What surprised Tang Long even more was that his 'close friend' Rong Baichuan was the very Mr. Rong he had seen at Fei Shan.

What a guy; he actually just made his entrance so openly and became an honored guest of the Wei Family again?

"Oh, Sixth Brother, didn't you say earlier that time was too tight to make it back?"

"Fifth Brother, thanks to my big brother Rong's help, I managed to get leave. I rushed back as quickly as I could, and at least I made it."

"Sixth Brother, you've worked hard. Mr. Rong, nice to meet you."

"Fourth Sister, happy birthday, may you have happiness and longevity!"

"Madam Wei, I came in a rush; it's truly presumptuous of me. This small gift is a token of my well wishes; I hope you won't mind."

"..."

The Wei Family chatted enthusiastically, but Tang Long secretly gasped.

He pretended to stand outside the corner hall for a while, scanned the various parts of the Governors Mansion again, and then quickly walked out.

After returning to the car and waiting for a few minutes, Lv Yang also quickly sought him out.

"Sir, why did you come out so quickly? Do you have results?"

Tang Long reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then revealed a meaningful smile.

Lv Yang was very surprised because, although the gentleman loved to mess around, he always had a strong sense of boundaries and had never done such a disrespectful act. Was he...

"Old Lu, you need to prepare yourself mentally. The news I'm about to tell you is like a big landmine, the kind that could blow up half of Song City."

"Sir, you... what do you mean?"

"It means that it has been confirmed that Madam Wei, the Governors wife, is a Sun Worshiper. Within the entire Governors Mansion, there are over a hundred people bearing the Sun Worshiper mark. This place is the Blasphemers' branch in Song City."

Lv Yang's expression went from disbelief to shock, from shock to frozen, and from frozen to trembling. It took him a long time to recover, and it was unclear whether he was afraid or excited.

After barely calming down, he asked, "What about the other higher-ups? Especially... Bishop Wei and Governor Xu."

"They don't have it."

"Sir, this discovery is too significant; I must go back to see the High Priest immediately. But even with your identification, we still need to verify it thoroughly; it will be difficult to take action in the short term. Are you... still going to leave the city?"

Lv Yang's implication was obvious; since Wei Mingzhu was the leader of the Song City Sun Worshipers, she would definitely want to kill Tang Long.

And for The Sect to move against Wei Mingzhu would be very troublesome, as it involved a series of important figures and forces like Governor Xu and Bishop Wei; it was a huge entanglement, and they couldn't just arrest her directly.

So during this period, Tang Long's situation would be quite dangerous, and this concern was genuine.

Tang Long smiled gratifiedly and patted Lv Yang's shoulder again.

"Old Lu, you know me. For you, Christmas Eve is just this one night, but for me, it's not. Besides, I'm not a fool; if things go wrong, I'll just call 999."

Lv Yang nodded deeply.

He had long guessed that Tang Long had resurrection abilities, but he had only encountered it that one time and had no solid proof. At this moment, Tang Long's willingness to clearly tell him showed that his trust in him had deepened.

Plus the protection of Fire Hand, there really wasn't much of a problem.

At this time, Tang Long said again: "The real trouble isn't with me, but with you. Some people have the mark on them, but others might not necessarily have the mark and yet still harbor evil intentions; how will you solve that?"

Lv Yang shuddered, "Sir, are you referring to..."

"I'm talking about the Wei Family." Tang Long pursed his lips, "To be honest, I don't believe that the Wei Family is completely unaware of such a big matter."

"Their whole family occupies almost all the important positions in Song City; with such a huge influence, why would Madam Wei still take this path?"

"Have you thought about it? If one day Bishop Wei becomes the next High Priest and Governor Xu becomes their puppet, what will Song City look like? And what will be the fate of the Songcheng Sect?"

Lv Yang couldn't help but shiver, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.

"Also, remember the Yuanwu Kingdom spy I mentioned to you? The one Wei Jian just brought back is exactly that person; how big do you think their family's problem is?"

A flash of astonishment crossed Lv Yang's eyes again, "Sir, we must go."

Just as Lv Yang was about to drive, Tang Long suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Bishop Lu, did you forget something?"

"Huh?"

"I helped you with such a big favor, and you don't even want to pay the reward?"

Lv Yang's old face twitched, and he quickly said: "Sorry, sorry, the matter was truly too big, and I forgot for a moment. The things have been prepared for a long time; they are right here."

As he spoke, he took a leather suitcase from under the car seat and handed it to Tang Long.

[Mission complete!]

[You have received the mission reward: 128,000 EXP, 100,000 blue sea coins.]

[You have received the series mission reward: Juling Breathing Technique, 5,000,000 blue sea coins!]

[Your level has increased to LV12! vitality increased by 1000, health recovery increased by 100/hour, spirit energy cap increased by 100, gained 5 free attribute points, gained 1 skill point!]

Tang Long had just taken the suitcase when the notification messages popped up one after another.

Breathing Method, money, experience points, everything was there, and he leveled up again directly.

Life was becoming more and more promising.

The car quickly drove out of the Governors Mansion, and at a deserted area, Tang Long got out of the car.

There was plenty of drama tonight; if he wanted to cause trouble, there would be plenty of room to do so.

But... forget it.

Tonight is Christmas Eve, and killing people wouldn't result in them staying dead, and the time was quite tight.

He decided not to go to the Hot-Blooded Arena to find Mad Dog, nor did he call any 999, but instead left the city early on his own.

Because for some of the things that were coming up, it was not appropriate for anyone to know about them for the time being.
