35: Who is plotting against us?
Not to mention, the Alchemy space also contained the core machine of the medicinal factory, and with these things, it was only a matter of time before the Three-Leaf Clover Group's Medicinal Pill market was destroyed.
“Well, I just don’t know how many factories they opened? I’ll continue destroying them tomorrow.”
Tang Gao regretfully closed the System, letting his two Clones operate automatically.
It’s a pity the System has a cooldown period, otherwise, I would have stayed up all night and completely destroyed your Three-Leaf Clover Group.
“Memorize, memorize, tomorrow I still have to visit the military base.”
Every year, before graduating, third-year high school students would visit the local military base to inspire their desire to join the army.
Tang Gao's goal was very clear: he was determined to go to Qingkai and did not want to join a military organization too early.
After finishing Qingkai and returning to his hometown, it would be good to just spend his days with Liu Ren and grow together.
...
Tianma Avenue, Medical Incubation Base, Sān Yè Cǎo Group Liang City Branch, President's Office.
Currently, Wei Lan, Xu An, and Zhao Shan, the main responsible members of the current branch company, were all grim-faced, looking at their subordinates' reports.
Xu An joked with a very unfunny remark: “So, we were played for fools by a First Order Cultivator Genius?”
Wei Lan eyed him askance: “What? You believe such nonsense? A Spell that covered the entire medicinal factory, not to mention that this is at least a Third Order wide-area Spell, but the spatial device that directly moved the core machine is not something an ordinary Cultivator could possess.”
Zhao Shan's gaze was even more somber: “When it rains, it pours. Now, have them strengthen their defenses. Some organizations have already started to act against us. This will only be the first shot.”
From the moment the information was made public, Zhao Shan knew that someone would target the Three-Leaf Clover Group, but he never expected them to send a First Order Cultivator Genius to lead the attack, while those insidious and despicable rats hid in the darkness, waiting for them to reveal a flaw.
Xu An sneered, then his eyes changed slightly, and his expression became serious: “Young Master Zhao, do you think the few of us here are qualified to handle this matter?”
Zhao Shan was initially angry, but seeing his expression, he realized that what he was about to say was not simple, so he suppressed his anger: “Speak.”
Xu An pointed at Wei Lan: “You should ask her why she concealed the message sent to President Wei. I just learned something from my informant at the Guardian Bureau: a Great Power has subtly appeared in Liang City recently.”
Zhao Shan's anger instantly vanished, and he stared nervously at Wei Lan: “What did you hide?”
Great Power, the criteria for judgment are not quite the same, but at the very least, they are powerful individuals who can guard a region, possess long lifespans, formidable strength, and their words, spoken in jest, can influence the lives of millions.
Wei Lan's face paled, and she stammered: “This is just a guess, there’s no solid evidence yet...”
“Slap!”
Zhao Shan angrily slapped her, his eyes red, and he roared: “A guess!? Just a guess!? Do you know how much loss provoking a Great Power will bring to our Group!?”
Even if it was just a guess, a tiny possibility, Zhao Shan dared not gamble.
And he certainly dared not confront the will of a Great Power.
A Great Power not only possesses terrifying strength but also terrifying influence within a certain industry. A single word from them can influence the direction of millions of lives.
Wei Lan covered her face, her expression aggrieved: “It’s General Liu. He applied to his superiors to investigate the movements of a certain mysterious Great Power. I only know this much and don’t know what he’s actually doing.
My younger brother most likely ran into General Liu just as he was out and about.”
Zhao Shan looked at Xu An, his eyes narrowing, a dangerous glint flashing within them: “We’ve known for a long time that General Liu is targeting us, but I think what you want to say is more than just this.”
Xu An was using him to suppress Wei Lan, Zhao Shan knew.
However, if Xu An couldn’t provide important intelligence...
Zhao Shan would let him know that his surname was Zhao.
Seeing his objective achieved, Xu An smiled, steadying his voice as he said: “My informant also gave me a second piece of intelligence. General Liu’s confidant, Liu ShouShan, after learning that our internal data was made public, took Liu ShouShan’s token to the archives and deleted and altered all the information related to the Zhao Cheng Case and the Blood Rage Thrall Case, erasing certain details.
The Zhao Cheng Case was the time when General Liu applied to his superiors to investigate the mysterious Great Power.
The Blood Rage Thrall Case was when General Liu started to make trouble for us.”
Zhao Shan's expression changed slightly: “You mean, these two are related? What connection do Zhao Cheng and the Blood Rage Thrall have?”
Xu An cleared his throat and said: “I suspect that a direct descendant of a Great Power came out for training. The first time, he practiced on Zhao Cheng, and the second time, he practiced on a Blood Rage Servant.
Most importantly, the Guardian Bureau had actually been monitoring our movements since the Blood Rage Thrall Case, but after learning that our internal data was made public, all official organizations seized the opportunity to hold us accountable, wanting to gain benefits.
Only the Guardian Bureau quickly reduced its original surveillance intensity and maintained a strict distance.
Why do you think they would do that?”
Zhao Shan's face was so grim it looked like water would drip from it: “Afraid of attracting trouble they shouldn’t.”
Would General Liu be afraid of provoking the Three-Leaf Clover Group?
He, a dignified military General, although he started from scratch and had little Foundation, had a strong background, and his faction truly would not fear the Three-Leaf Clover Group.
What he feared was provoking that Great Power, or rather, the Great Power's direct descendant.
Xu An pointed meaningfully at the medicinal factory report: “You see, this time, doesn’t it look like a third training session?”
Zhao Shan gasped, feeling that everything was connected. There was no reason for a Cultivator Genius to target the Three-Leaf Clover Group for no reason.
Xu An's eyes were deep, and he tapped the photo of the medicinal factory owner's will: “Young Master Zhao, I think it’s still not too late for us to withdraw. Regardless of all that, at least the strength of this First Order Cultivator allowed him to break through our entire medicinal factory’s defense System.
Genius does not appear out of thin air.”
If this Genius had a Great Power supporting him from behind, then everything would make sense.
Zhao Shan was unwilling, clenching his fists: “If this matter isn’t handled well, it will greatly affect my position in the Zhao family.”
Wei Lan said faintly: “If what you say is true, then we have already offended this Great Power, and completely offended him to death.”
The air fell silent, and the two decision-makers looked at this astute and capable woman.
Wei Lan's expression was strange: “Did you forget? We already killed that square-faced Battle Qi Cultivator. This new one who appeared is suspected to be his descendant, and he is even stronger.
Moreover, according to investigations, this person who calls himself the Violent Justice messenger initially did good deeds in the city, all on the fly.
It wasn't until we issued the kill order that the target of this second-generation Violent Justice messenger became clearly focused on us.”
Xu An's face instantly turned extremely ugly: “Moreover, this second-generation Violent Justice messenger clearly received stronger support. The illusion that covered the entire medicinal factory was very likely personally cast by that Great Power.
That spatial device is also very likely the Great Power's.”
The more the three reasoned, the more they felt they were on the right track.
Zhao Shan's face turned green: “Have the results of the Spell residual fluctuation check from the medicinal factory come out yet?”
This was an important clue to figuring out who was behind the medicinal factory incident.
Xu An swallowed, hurriedly picking up the phone to urge for the test results from the medicinal factory.
Soon, the Spell detection results were sent to Xu An's phone.
Xu An opened it and his face immediately turned green: “We only detected one person’s Spell fluctuation, a First Order Cultivator’s Spell fluctuation, that of the Violent Justice messenger.”
Was this normal?
This was completely abnormal!
All the evidence pointed to the worst possible outcome!
Wei Lan was greatly alarmed, her expression fearful: “This is impossible! How could only one person be found!? Isn’t it a group crime?”
This was the worst outcome she didn't even want to see.
Zhao Shan's face turned greener than green: “The upper limit for detection by these local instruments is Fourth Order.”
Either a Fifth Order Cultivator made a move.
Or, that Great Power was secretly overseeing, watching his direct descendant use the medicinal factory as a training ground.
Combining with the previous intelligence.
The probability of a mysterious Great Power is greater.
Otherwise, General Liu would not have applied for his superiors to investigate.
General Liu himself is a Sixth Order command-type Battle Cultivator, it's impossible for him not to detect Fifth or Sixth Order Spell fluctuations.
He could even detect some Seventh Order Spells.
Therefore, it can only be said that there is indeed a Great Power active in Liang City.
And now.
This expert group, composed of the three main decision-makers, ordered the killing of the Violent Justice messenger before even landing, successfully offending a mysterious Great Power to death.
Suspected of offending an Eight-Order Great Power, how do they live to leave Liang City?
Waiting online, it's urgent, about to lose their lives.
