Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 511: Cold Wind

Inside the Processing Bureau, because Chen Chuan later closed the Boundary Token, people in the bureau couldn't see the battle between the two, and many could only speculate below.

"Captain Chen seems to want to ask the Outer Ocean man something, so he cut off the field data. Captain Chen wouldn't really believe the Outer Ocean man, would he?"

"Do you think Captain Chen wouldn't think of that?"

"Don't worry, Captain Chen won't be careless. We just need to wait. A battle between martial artists of this level won't take long."

As they spoke, the personnel arranged by the Processing Bureau nearby had already been notified to keep an eye on any changes above.

After waiting for half an hour, there was movement on the mountain path. Everyone looked towards the light screen and saw Chen Chuan and San Cheng Huang walking down the mountain together, with San Cheng Huang slightly behind.

There were no signs of anomaly on either of them, and their clothes showed no damage. They were still talking as they walked down, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious, indicating that there had been no fight later on.

Once they reached the foot of the mountain, the two parted ways. Everyone saw San Cheng Huang bow to Chen Chuan before leaving alone.

Chen Chuan then opened the Boundary Token and reconnected with the Processing Bureau.

A responsible person immediately asked, "Captain Chen, are you okay over there?"

Chen Chuan said, "It's nothing. Mr. San Cheng Huang is not from the Ferris Wheel Corporation. He came to me simply seeking a martial artist's duel."

"Are you sure?"

Chen Chuan said, "I'm sure."

Words can deceive, but the spirit cannot, unless it's a secret technique that can deceive oneself. However, such a practice is actually meaningless in the eyes of martial artists like them.

Because they always remain vigilant, even in a simple sparring, they wouldn't give the other party an opportunity. The other party, being of the same level, wouldn't be unaware of this.

After communicating with the bureau, Chen Chuan walked to the Jiade car, opened the door, got in, and drove away. He glanced at Qingding Mountain, thinking it's a good place for future sparring.

At the same time, inside the Ferris Wheel Corporation, Security Guard Supervisor Guan Shangjing was also paying attention to this battle. However, due to the energy field shielding by the Processing Bureau, the Ferris Wheel Corporation couldn't see the situation there and could only wait for the result.

"Supervisor, we have news!"

A security personnel entered the office and, under his questioning gaze, excitedly said, "We saw San Cheng Huang leaving Qingding Mountain. Supervisor, San Cheng Huang is unscathed. Did he win?"

Guan Shangjing, playing with a miniature copper dog in his hand, did not jump to conclusions but said, "Wait for the news from the Processing Bureau."

In less than two minutes, the news arrived, but the result was that Chen Chuan also drove away, and both seemed to have suffered no losses.

The simple logic was that even if they fought, it was most likely just a sparring match, not the death battle imagined.

This result was not satisfactory to him, but he wasn't too disappointed either, because San Cheng Huang was just an unexpected factor. They hadn't planned for this person to kill Chen Chuan, as his martial combat ability was matched by his notorious laziness and caution.

His eyes gleamed coldly. Such matters still needed to be handled by themselves, not entrusted to others.

He looked up at the light screen on his desk, where several photos were being replaced in turn.

These were the people the Ferris Wheel Corporation needed to deal with, now only six remained. Two had gone to other Central Cities, one was in the Outer Ocean, and people had already been sent to handle them.

Since these people were not martial artists, only having some hired security guards around them, dealing with them wasn't too troublesome, and the outcome was predictable.

The remaining three were Lei Guangcheng from the Secret Cult Bureau's inspection bureau, Chen Chuan, and Deng Xin, who had once served as the company's intelligence secretary.

The first two were tough nuts, and only Deng Xin seemed easier to handle. However, she had been hiding in the Elephant Gang from the start. Her boyfriend was not only a Third-Limit martial artist but also a core member of the Elephant Gang.

The Elephant Gang's territory was almost a fortress, filled with bunkers and sentry points, with a core of thousands and a gathering of tens of thousands, making it not easy to take down.

Previously, when the Swordfish Gang clashed with the Elephant Gang, they tried to take advantage of the situation to resolve it but still couldn't succeed.

The Elephant Gang's top leadership was entirely composed of clan members, and because they were all foreigners, they were very united in the face of harsh external environments, making it very difficult for outsiders to infiltrate.

However, he recently found a lead.

There were indeed conflicts within the Elephant Gang, but they were all suppressed by the gang leader, Tu Ge, the oldest of the Tu clan, the bond among all clan members.

If this person were gone, the Elephant Gang would immediately catch fire internally.

Due to his youth, Tu Ge had a lot of implants and needed regular injections of large amounts of anti-mutation drugs. Recently, as he aged, the anti-mutation reactions became increasingly intense, and the drugs needed were no longer something the Elephant Gang could handle on its own. This was a breakthrough.

Guan Shangjing coldly looked at the remaining photos on the screen, and with a squeeze of his fingers, the copper dog in his hand was instantly deformed.

"The company's enemies must be eliminated!"

Meanwhile, in the Luminous Dew District, the Elephant Gang's gathering place.

Deng Xin suddenly felt a palpitation, and the vase in her hand fell to the ground, mixing the flowers and soil inside, with petals scattered everywhere.

"Why so careless?"

Tu Nai walked over, asking in somewhat stiff Da Shun language, "Are you hurt?"

Deng Xin suddenly turned around, hugged him, buried her head in his chest, and said in an anxious and panicked tone, "We need to leave here, we need to leave here..." She seemed very unstable, repeating it several times.

Tu Nai, feeling his girlfriend's trembling body, looked very helpless. His girlfriend was good in every way but always startled. He stroked her smooth hair, comforting her:

"I know you were very frightened before, but I told you, living in the Elephant Gang, you don't need to be afraid of anything. Inside, there's me; outside, there's the fortress.

We have our own guns, our own armed vehicles, our own trained martial artists, and tens of thousands of brothers. The Ferris Wheel Corporation can't break in."

After comforting her for a while, Deng Xin calmed down. He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "I have some business to attend to. If you're bored, watch some shows. If you want to wander around the gang, let Ale accompany you." With that, he gently patted Deng Xin twice, threw a protective gear over his shoulder, and walked out.

Deng Xin watched him leave. She walked around the living room with her arms crossed. She lived in a three-story mansion built with special bamboo and wood, still maintaining the multi-layered roof style of the Sheni Peninsula, with intricate flower windows and bamboo carvings.

The house was brightly lit, with a Field Entity below, and various combat creatures arranged around. Tu Nai cared for her very much, but she still felt insecure.

At that moment, the bamboo curtain at the door swayed. Although it was spring, the March wind was slightly cool, and she felt a chill penetrate to her bones, numbing her.

She had a seemingly innate premonition ability. Whenever something bad was about to happen, this feeling was particularly strong, which was why she had always managed to evade pursuit.

Not just her, her sister was the same, only her sister had already...

She sighed lightly, rubbing her arms.

"Meow..."

At that moment, a big cat jumped in front of her, its long, dense gray-white fur very soft. She picked it up, gently stroking it, and the cat purred, giving her a slight sense of peace.

Then she thought of something, opened the Boundary Token, and logged onto the Marginal Channel, where people were discussing today's duel between Chen Chuan and San Cheng Huang. The discussion posts below were arguing whether they had fought and who had won.

Since the Ferris Wheel Corporation publicly apologized on the public channel, she had been paying attention to Chen Chuan's movements, knowing that he was also one of the people the Ferris Wheel Corporation wanted to deal with.

However, she also knew that even if the Ferris Wheel Corporation apologized, this would not be the end. The Ferris Wheel never gives up on such targets.

She then switched to the Processing Bureau's contact details, wanting to connect, but hesitated and didn't press. Instead, she said to the Boundary Token, "Ale, help me find someone, the one from last time."

A young voice came from the Boundary Token, "Sister, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that's someone from the Processing Bureau, with a special Resonator responsible for ambushes. Last time, I was almost caught."

Deng Xin said, "Just find that Resonator, I want to talk to him."

"Sister, what do you want to do?"

Deng Xin said, "Don't ask too much. Didn't your brother tell you? Whatever sister wants to do, she has to tell you?"

"Alright, alright, sister, don't get angry. Getting angry makes you less beautiful. I'll try, but whether it works depends on the other person's mood. If I can't get through, don't blame me."

Meanwhile, on his way back to the dormitory, Chen Chuan received a contact from the Wingblade Company, inviting him to visit regarding Zhao Ming's matter, seemingly with good news.

He immediately headed towards the Voidward District. Upon arriving at the Wing Blade Light Nest Company, he met Manager Zhuang, who led him to the cultivation area.

"Mr. Chen, the plan is proceeding smoothly, better than I expected. In just five days, Mutated Tissue has grown from your pet."

Chen Chuan looked at Zhao Ming through the light screen. It was lying in its prepared nest, its body slightly larger than before, and its feathers more vibrant.

Manager Zhuang said, "Mr. Chen's pet is very smart. I've handled many pets, but rarely seen one so intelligent. It's very cooperative with environmental stimulation and drug injections, as if it knows what it needs to do, hence the rapid progress.

After the Mutated Tissue grows, the next step is to promote its growth, but the specific direction of growth needs to be confirmed by Mr. Chen."

Just as Chen Chuan was about to say something, Wu Bei contacted him through the Boundary Token. He apologized and walked aside, "Wu, what's the matter?"
