83: Chapter 83 Shadow Team's Surprise Attack! Conspiracy Revealed

Song Yiqing's words left everyone at the scene somewhat confused. However, Lin Tianyi and the others had already quickly lowered their centers of gravity, gripped their firearms tightly, and exchanged glances. As long as Song Yiqing gave the order, they would immediately pull the triggers.

Huo Jin, on the opposite side, smiled at this moment. "We didn't want to cooperate either."

As his voice fell, the nine team members behind him quickly spread out. Unlike Lin Tianyi and his team who used guns, every member of the Shadow Exploration Team was equipped with blades. Even though they used cold weapons, the pressure they exerted was still extremely strong, and they even faintly overwhelmed Song Yiqing and his group in terms of momentum.

[Holy crap!! This is actually the Shadow Exploration Team!! They really come one wave after another!! They just barely managed to kill the Wandering Zombie, and now a powerful enemy has appeared!]

[Is the person above overthinking it? Lord Song is so fierce; he could even handle the Wandering Zombie. Is it possible he would be afraid of these people?]

[Wandering Zombie? Do you think the Shadow Exploration Team is some low-level exploration team? The lethality of this exploration team is not a bit weaker than Song Yiqing and his group. It's just that they never stream, so opportunities to see them are rare. But every time they are seen, it inevitably means some exploration team has fallen victim to their poisonous hands. If you really have to compare, the Wandering Zombie is definitely not as good as the Shadow Exploration Team.]

[Damn it, plus the fact that Song Yiqing has already experienced a significant amount of exhaustion, if he wants to fight again, physical stamina will definitely be a huge problem!]

[Natural disasters, weird monsters—but no kind is more dangerous than human disaster!]

[In the end, people will still die at the hands of people.]

Inside the Forbidden Land Exploration Official command center, when Zhu Yongfeng saw the appearance of the Shadow Exploration Team, he stood up directly. He looked at the adjutant beside him in confusion.

"Wasn't the Shadow Exploration Team already banned from entering the forbidden zone? Why are they here? Who gave them access permits? Don't they know that their existence is in itself the greatest harm to society?"

"No, this... I..." The adjutant was also completely bewildered, and likewise had no idea what was going on.

Just as he was about to say he would go investigate, a loud voice suddenly came over. "It was me!"

When Zhu Yongfeng heard this voice, he subconsciously frowned. The person who arrived had a thin build, and his face carried the sharpness of an eagle. His name was Qian Pingning, and he was a supervisor dispatched by the Forbidden Land Exploration headquarters.

Although he would not ask about big or small matters in the Taklamakan Desert, he had direct control when some relatively major decision-making issues arose. This was also to prevent certain accidents from happening, existing as a mutual check and balance with Zhu Yongfeng. And now that he had directly stated that he was the one who let the Shadow Exploration Team in, this couldn't help but make Zhu Yongfeng gradually become somewhat angry.

"Qian Pingning, what are you trying to do?"

"Hehehe." Qian Pingning did not pay attention to the other's anger, but instead walked to the front with a calm face and sat in the seat of Zhu Yongfeng's female assistant, Xiaoyu. And the female assistant, Xiaoyu, handed a bottle of water to the other party with an obedient look.

Immediately after, Qian Pingning spoke, "It is well known that the strength of the Shadow Exploration Team is extremely strong; it can be said that they are above most exploration teams. For such a powerful exploration team, we have no reason to refuse their exploration."

"These are a bunch of lunatics! A bunch of lunatics who like to slaughter their own kind!" Zhu Yongfeng was red in the face and thick-necked; only a match was needed to completely detonate him.

And that Qian Pingning shook his head slightly. "So what if more people die? When the Shadow Exploration Team is not around, are fewer people dying? Even if they don't kill these dead weights, weird monsters will kill them. So these are not reasons to restrict the Shadow Exploration Team."

"Sophistry!" Zhu Yongfeng snorted coldly and retorted on the spot, "This group of people is completely out of our control; they are a real, tangible hidden danger!"

"Out of control?" Qian Pingning lifted his chin, signaling to Song Yiqing and his group on the live broadcast screen. "Let me ask you, can you control them? You can't, right?"

"..." Zhu Yongfeng was speechless.

Then, Qian Pingning continued, "So, General Zhu, you just have a prejudice against the Shadow Exploration Team, but you have an excessive filter for Song Yiqing. Furthermore, if we are talking about being ruthless, Song Yiqing is about the same, isn't he?"

"..." Zhu Yongfeng frowned slightly, gradually realizing a hint of strangeness. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Hehehe, nothing." Qian Pingning chuckled and said no more.

On this side, Zhu Yongfeng snorted coldly and sat back in his high-backed chair, but he felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart. He felt that Song Yiqing was probably in real trouble this time!

Because the company behind the Shadow Exploration Team, the actual holding company, was the Xue Group! This was a very famous company within Great Xia! It was also a company that was expanding very rapidly and bringing extremely strong oppression to people.

Now, Qian Pingning's sudden arrival and the tone in his voice made Zhu Yongfeng faintly feel that the other party might have had some kind of cooperation with the Xue Group, which is why he tried his best to protect the Shadow Exploration Team so they could enter the forbidden zone.

Behind this, a giant web of conspiracy was gradually being woven, and Song Yiqing was undoubtedly the person who blocked their path. Therefore, to some extent, as far as the company was concerned, Song Yiqing had to die!

Zhu Yongfeng secretly clenched his fists. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he was isolated and helpless; wanting to do something was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Perhaps the only person who could save himself was Song Yiqing himself. But just as he was thinking, a scene on the live broadcast screen completely stunned him.

'Hmm? What is he trying to do?'

On the live broadcast screen, the scene was tense, and only a spark was needed to ignite this battle. But at this critical moment, Song Yiqing suddenly waved his fingertips.

Swish, swish, swish!!! Three Flying Swords suddenly shot up, their speed extremely fast, causing everyone in the Shadow Exploration Team to be a beat slow at this moment. They watched helplessly as the long swords passed by their eyes, only a fraction of an inch away from slitting their throats. Then, the swords suddenly slammed into the archway like a whirlwind!

Bang!!!! Instantly shattering it, it then revealed a structure like a celestial disk. The next second, 'bang, bang, bang' intense explosions rang out. One-meter-thick stone doors fell on all four channels, and incense candles lit up one by one on the palace walls. The warm yellow light completely filled the entire palace at this moment, dispelling all darkness, yet it also brought an extremely strong, eerie sense of oppression.
