Chapter 696 - 696 696 Actually We Have an Advantage

696: Chapter 696: Actually, We Have an Advantage 696: Chapter 696: Actually, We Have an Advantage “Why such a rush?” Zhao Guang instantly teleported back to the edge of a mountainous area within the country.

Just as he took out his phone, he saw a series of messages.

Before Zhao Guang could read them, a call came through.

Ye Zhi’s voice quickly rang out, “I finally got in touch with you.

Do you know something big has happened?”

“Something big?

What happened?” Zhao Guang pretended to be clueless, though he already had an idea of what it might be.

If it were a common issue, even if the company was about to go bankrupt, Ye Zhi probably wouldn’t be worried, given her status.

Moreover, she didn’t have any special mission, so it wasn’t her turn to be anxious.

The only thing that could make Ye Zhi behave this way was contact from Elder Ye.

And the only reason for Elder Ye to contact her at this time was the incident Zhao Guang had been involved in earlier.

“Don’t talk now, there will be a video call coming through soon.

Make sure you’re ready to receive it.

Also, it’s best if there are no other people around.”

Zhao Guang nodded, “Don’t worry, I am currently at the mountain’s base.

There aren’t many people around, though there are quite a few birds and beasts.” Zhao Guang looked around, the area was indeed very secure.

It wasn’t for no reason that he had chosen to teleport directly to this location.

However, Ye Zhi didn’t continue speaking and immediately hung up the call.

Zhao Guang waited for a while, and sure enough, a call from an unknown number came through.

Most crucially, he didn’t recognize this number at all; it wasn’t even a standard number.

And they didn’t even add me on WeChat, how did they connect directly?

Zhao Guang hurriedly answered, and indeed, it was Elder Ye who appeared on the other end.

Judging by the background of the video, there were several other elderly men present as well.

However, everyone remained silent at the time and just listened quietly.

Elder Ye didn’t speak either.

Instead, they waited in this eerie silence for about two minutes.

At that moment, someone off-camera made a gesture to Elder Ye.

Elder Ye then spoke, “Okay, we were just encrypting the call.

Now, no one can know what we are discussing.”

Was it necessary to be so cautious?

Zhao Guang was somewhat speechless, but he decided to cooperate anyway.

“Elder Ye, what are your instructions?

I haven’t had any results yet with those items, but I’ve already got some leads,” Zhao Guang directly mentioned his research, showing that he was indeed working on something.

As for them locating his position, that wasn’t a problem either, as nothing of particular note was here.

No matter how much they investigated, this place was just a ordinary mountain.

“There was a major incident in Myanmar recently.

A master intervened, fought against Ugly Country and the local military forces, and this person defeated a modernized army, even the most advanced aircraft couldn’t contend against him.”

This was simply terrifying.

When they first heard about it, they almost thought it was an epic movie scene.

But reality taught them otherwise.

This was not a movie, it was real life.

Reality often trumps what’s seen in movies; there actually was someone capable of taking on an entire modernized army.

Indeed, all those movie scenes were just to mislead people.

After all, many of those characters seemed more formidable than this person but would get injured at the mere sight of a handgun.

In reality, this person completely ignored all attacks, even missiles.

“My God, to think such a person exists,” Zhao Guang exclaimed, his eyes widening with a look of horror on his face.

However, this expression was too exaggerated, which the elderly caught on to; anyone could tell he was acting just by seeing this face.

At the sight of his expression, Elder Ye’s face darkened instantly.

“You know about this matter, right?

That person must have been brought in by you,” Elder Ye said.

After all, the place where that person first appeared was at a branch office of Zhao Guang.

As soon as that person showed up, a major fight broke out, followed by an escalation of conflict.

From the analysis, it was clear to anyone that these people were definitely connected to Zhao Guang.

Zhao Guang didn’t continue his act, unable to maintain it any longer, as many more things would soon reveal what he was up to.

Resigned, Zhao Guang seriously confirmed, “Yes, that person was brought in by me, and indeed I have some contact with them.”

Then Zhao Guang continued, “But don’t think about finding them through me.

Our way of contacting each other is quite unique, and I can’t locate them either.

These people don’t like dealing with officialdom much.”

Elder Ye was somewhat speechless, and several people behind him almost spoke out.

Not liking to deal with them, of course, they knew this, but these were not ancient times anymore.

Was it possible to still hide so completely?

Having abilities but not wishing to give back to society, that really left them at a loss for words.

“Alright, let’s not dwell on those issues.

The key point is the cultivation techniques that person announced,” Elder Ye said, organizing his thoughts before continuing.

“If those techniques become known to foreign powers, they could pose a great threat to us.

After all, they are more advanced in some research areas; their methods to aid in cultivation might be more potent than ours.”

This was unavoidable, especially in medicine and certain specialized fields where they indeed were at a disadvantage.

Moreover, once they discover these things are useful, they would hide these items even deeper.

Don’t be fooled by their apparent capitulation; everyone knew what was more important.

The two countries were in competition; no one would willingly waste their advantages on the other.

Seeing Elder Ye’s demeanor, Zhao Guang casually responded, “It’s okay, those are just some basic Energy Introduction techniques, at most they could reach the peak of Energy Introduction.

Don’t even think about meridian opening.”

“Don’t jest, even just Energy Introduction is not something ordinary people can achieve.

Paired with modernized weapons, they could be tremendously effective in special operations,” Elder Ye retorted.

Zhao Guang did pause briefly to reflect, then quickly understood their concerns.

Essentially, this side initially had an advantage in this area, but it seemed like they didn’t anymore.

Elder Ye also conveyed to him not to continue disseminating these cultivation techniques.

This meant he needed to discuss with his people behind the scenes that from now on, these techniques should only be provided to them.

He didn’t need to voice it out; Zhao Guang had already guessed their intentions.

“Actually, we do have an advantage in this regard,” Zhao Guang admitted.

This was something Zhao Guang had initially intended to keep to himself, waiting for them to come to this realization on their own.

But seeing their current state, he reckoned it necessary to offer them some reassurance, so Zhao Guang considered for a moment and decided to just say it outright.
