Chapter 685: Chapter 610: Setback of Siwen, Who Knows Whether It Is Misfortune or Fortune

PS: Sorry, there was a small error at the end of the last Chapter; it should be Qinghong Organization, not Yanhuang Organization. It has been corrected.

...

From the moment Ye Fan killed Emperor Bai to Chen Daozang’s sudden appearance, joining forces with Sword King Jiedao to go on a killing spree, all these events seemed complicated, but actually unfolded very quickly—by the time Chu Xuanji repelled Chen Daozang and crippled Jiedao’s cultivation, less than half an hour had passed.

While the Tian Shan Sword Sect was in disarray, with many cultivators cleaning up the mess and Ye Fan having a secret conversation with Chu Xuanji.

In Yanjing, within the Hong Qiang Courtyard, a meeting of extremely high standards and significant meaning had been underway in a dedicated meeting room for half an hour.

Just like the first day’s meeting, the second day’s meeting was still presided over by the current top figure of the power pyramid. The elders, including Yan, were present, and political figures with real power, such as Ye Wenhao and Bai Guotao, participated.

In the meeting room, the leading figure sat in the middle of the front row seats, speaking, while the others, including Yan, were either listening or taking notes with their heads down.

Among them, Bai Guotao was taking notes while sneaking glances at Ye Wenhao and sneering secretly to himself.

At this moment, he still did not know about Ye Fan killing Emperor Bai or that Chen Daozang had infiltrated Huaxia and joined forces with Jiedao to commit a series of murders. He was fantasizing about his nephew, Emperor Bai, killing Ye Fan and looking forward to seeing Ye Wenhao’s ’spectacular’ expression.

Ye Wenhao noticed Bai Guotao’s gaze and was well aware of what Bai Guotao was thinking at the moment, but he did not pay attention to it and was taking notes seriously.

Because, he believed in his son.

That was all!

"Bang bang..."

Suddenly, someone knocked on the meeting room door.

The unexpected knocking sound caused the leading figure to stop speaking. He raised his eyebrows slightly and subconsciously looked towards the door.

At the same time, the other attendees also unanimously turned their gaze towards the door, their faces full of confusion.

Although this meeting was not nominally the highest level, it was the most substantial.

Now, only half an hour into the second day’s meeting, someone knocking on the door to interrupt was simply unimaginable in the past!

"Comrade Wang Jun, please open the door."

After a brief silence, the leading figure spoke.

Due to the high confidentiality of this meeting, all attendees not only could not bring communication devices, but there were also no other personnel present in the venue. The leading figure had no choice but to ask the attendee nearest to the meeting room door to open it.

Under the gaze of everyone, the attendee named Wang Jun nodded in response, then stood up and quickly walked to the meeting room door and pulled it open.

Creak!

As the door opened with a light sound, two figures appeared at the entrance of the meeting room.

They were the leading figure’s secretary and Yan’s secretary.

Hmm?

Seeing those who arrived were them, almost all the attendees had a bad premonition surge in their hearts—something big had happened!

As if to confirm their speculation, the leading figure’s secretary, with a somewhat solemn expression, walked quickly into the venue and straight towards the presidential stage.

Soon, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the leading figure’s secretary approached the presidential stage, bent down, and whispered in the leader’s ear, "XXX, according to the report from Director Yan’s secretary, ten minutes ago, a large massacre occurred at Mount Tian, with an extremely malicious nature. When I asked him for the specifics, he said that according to confidentiality rules, he could only report to Director Yan."

"XXX, I’ll step out for a moment."

Following the secretary’s report, Yan spoke up before the leading figure could respond.

Being the current strongest person in the world, Yan could hear the report of the leading figure’s secretary clearly, not just from the seat next to him but even if he were outside the meeting room.

"I’ll accompany you."

After a moment’s contemplation, the leading figure decided and whispered something to another elder sitting nearby. Then he stood up with Yan and walked out of the venue.

"Could it be that something happened to Xiao Fan?"

Ye Wenhao’s face suddenly turned pale within the venue!

He was the only cultivator in the entire venue besides Yan and naturally heard the leading figure’s secretary’s words crystal clear.

"Could it be that the Little Emperor killed that bastard Ye Fan, and Chu Xuanji, that old dog, protected his calf, sparking a great battle among cultivators?"

Unable to hear the secretary’s report, Bai Guotao, who had been watching Ye Wenhao all along, noticed the change in Ye Wenhao’s expression. While thinking to himself, a schadenfreude smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What’s the situation?"

As soon as Yan stepped out, he casually set up a Soundproof Array and asked straightforwardly.

Though he wasn’t a Magician, a Soundproof Array was a basic Formation. With his strength, mimicking a Soundproof Array with Gang Qi was effortless.

"Reporting to the leader, ten minutes ago, Ye Fan, disciple of the Evil Emperor, killed the Sword King Jiedao’s disciple, Emperor Bai, during the Qing Bang competition. Subsequently, Chen Daozang appeared at the event, joining forces with Jiedao to start a large-scale massacre."

Yan’s secretary bowed and quickly reported.

Hmm?

Even with the resolute minds of Yan and the leading figure, upon hearing this sudden news, their hearts sank.

Although the leading figure was not very aware of the affairs of the Cultivation World, he knew of Chu Xuanji, Jiedao, Ye Fan, and Emperor Bai.

It must be said, the composure of Yan and the leading figure was outstanding. Their expressions remained calm, and they didn’t make a sound but waited for the follow-up report.

Seeing this, Yan’s secretary hurriedly added, "The Evil Emperor, together with Elder Guyun, Lv Family Patriarch Lv Yuan, and Old Sword God Hua Jian, made a joint effort to intervene. In the end, the Evil Emperor broke through to the Great Perfection Realm of Gang Qi in one fell swoop, seriously injured Chen Daozang, and forced Chen Daozang to flee while also crippling Jiedao’s cultivation."

Hearing this, both Yan and the leading boss secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then Yan took the lead to ask, "What’s the casualty situation?"

"Preliminary counts show more than 300 dead, including the Old Sword God Hua Jian and Elder Gu. The exact number is still being tallied," Yan’s secretary replied.

"How could there be so many?"

The leading boss frowned deeply, the death toll exceeding 300 was undoubtedly a major event, and if it got out, it would cause a huge stir in international opinion.

"Reporting to the leader, both Chen Daozang and Jie Dao are extremely strong cultivators. Ordinary cultivators cannot even think about resisting, let alone having a chance to escape,"

Yan’s secretary respectfully responded and then indirectly conveyed another piece of information to Yan, "Besides, Chen Daozang, the man behind the Qinghong Organization, has already broken through to the Gang Qi Great Perfection Realm, boasting extraordinary strength. If it weren’t for the Evil Emperor’s breakthrough during the battle, I fear none present would have survived."

As the secretary finished speaking, he intentionally showed a hesitant expression.

"What else is going on?" Yan asked with a frown.

"Before the massacre began, Chen Daozang claimed he would cleanse the Hua Xia Cultivation World and the Ye Family, and subvert the entire world order," Yan’s secretary reported truthfully.

"A madman!"

Even with the leading boss’s exceptional composure, one who could remain unflustered like a mountain, the words still infuriated him. "Director Yan, if I remember correctly, our last crackdown had eliminated the Qinghong Organization’s influence within our borders. Now, they’re causing trouble again, and it looks like we’ll need to take even more decisive measures."

"Please rest assured, XXX. Once I have thoroughly investigated this matter, we will immediately initiate a clean-up operation against the Qinghong Organization."

Perceiving the leading boss’s anger, Yan replied, then changed the subject, "However, the Qinghong Organization’s influence is vast and global, making their total eradication extremely difficult. We can only administer severe punishment and suppression. Moreover..."

"Moreover, what?" the leading boss asked.

"Moreover, based on information in our Yanhuang Organization’s possession, some of our comrades have secret ties with the Qinghong Organization."

Yan said with implication, "I personally believe we must thoroughly investigate this matter and punish the individuals involved; otherwise, it will become a major destabilizing factor!"

"Is there evidence?"

Upon hearing this, the leading boss, well aware of to whom Yan was referring, pondered for a moment before asking.

"There is, the evidence is conclusive," Yan answered succinctly.

"If that’s the case, let’s settle this matter here in this meeting while everyone is present,"

Perhaps because the matter was so significant, the leading boss remained silent for a full half-minute before making the decision.

Two minutes later, after communicating some details with Yan, the leading boss re-entered the meeting room.

The meeting was interrupted again, and all the attendees turned their gaze towards the two men.

Seeing their grave, ashen faces, the attendees felt an even stronger sense of foreboding, as if a storm was about to break within the building.

"Twenty minutes ago, there was an extremely vicious killing spree at Mount Tian. Director Yan will now brief everyone on the details,"

the leading boss said in a low tone as he took his seat again.

A killing spree?!

The attendees were shocked upon hearing the leading boss’s words, their faces changing to varying degrees.

Stability.

This was what the Hua Xia leadership most wished to see.

A killing spree meant instability and was a top priority that required immediate action!

"The situation is as follows..."

Yan took over the topic from the leading boss and quickly relayed the information that the secretary had just reported to everyone.

"Huff~"

After hearing Yan’s words, Ye Wenhao’s anxiety eased, and he silently breathed a sigh of relief. Then, thinking of Chen Daozang’s undying nefarious intentions, he clenched his fists discreetly.

"The Little Emperor was killed by that bastard of the Ye Family at the Qing bang tournament?"

"Jie Dao and Chen Daozang joined forces in a rampant killing spree, and were stopped by that old dog Chu Xuanji?!"

At the same time, Bai Guotao was shocked to his core, completely dumbfounded.

To him, Emperor Bai eliminating Ye Fan was meant to be as easy as slicing through vegetables. If Ye Fan were to die, Ye Wenhao would certainly be affected, and the Bai Family might still have a chance to recover the situation!

But now, all these developments seemed as unreal as a moon’s reflection on water, deceptive as a flower viewed within a mirror!

Not only Bai Guotao, but also Bai Yuan, one of the elders and the Bai Family Head, felt dazed after hearing the news, the reality seeming so surreal he found it hard to believe in the moment.

Hard to believe?

"Furthermore, based on intelligence and evidence held by the Yanhuang Organization, some comrades within our organization are involved with the Qinghong Organization. After exchanging views with XXX, to eliminate the hidden dangers within the organization and ensure the stability of the situation, we’ve decided to deal with this matter seriously!"

The next moment.

Yan’s words exploded in the meeting room like a thunderclap, shocking Bai Yuan and Bai Guotao so much that they nearly fell from their chairs.

It’s over!

That was the thought in their minds as their faces turned deathly pale.
