Chapter 458: Urgent Call from the Supreme Marshal! (2)

Now that the matter was exposed, the person behind the young man had to cut off all connections and leave no clues behind.

As a participant, how could Xiang Yilong avoid death?

It could be said that if they succeeded, he would die. If they failed, he would also die.

At the thought of this, Xiang Yilong went berserk.

“F*ck!

“D*mned b*stard, I’m in trouble now.

“No, I can’t wait for death!”

Xiang Yilong gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing.

This extended to not only Xiang Yilong, but also the entire Xiang Family.

If the Martial Sage Kong Xuan were to die, Xiang Yilong would not be able to escape. The Xiang Family might also suffer a reckoning. Even if they did not, they would not gain any benefits.

If Kong Xuan won, Xiang Yilong would not be able to escape, and the Xiang Family would certainly be punished!

In other words, no matter how he calculated it, this matter would not benefit the Xiang Family or Xiang Yilong.

“Ha, not only will there be no benefits, I’ll even lose my life. Why should I participate in such a thankless matter?”

Xiang Yilong’s smile was especially sinister.

He had already thought of a solution!

…

In the wee hours.

In the new government office building in Qingtian City.

The Deputy Prime Minister, Luo Xuangong, stood in the spacious conference room with a solemn expression.

The windows and doors of the entire conference room were tightly shut, and surveillance equipment was uniformly aimed at the outside.

Other than Luo Xuangong, there was also Xiang Yilong who wore a complicated expression.

At this moment, he was slumped in a chair as if he had no bones, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Suddenly, a huge display screen on one wall of the conference room lit up.

On the screen, the Prime Minister of the Yu Nation, Guan Zhonghua, the Supreme Marshal, Xiao Renwo, the Hall Master of the Sacred Martial Hall, Fu Neng, the Head Supervisor, Ao Chunqiu, and a few of the most important members of the cabinet appeared one after another in separate images.

“Old Luo, what’s so important that a meeting has to be held at this time?”

On the screen, Guan Zhonghua was the first to speak as he questioned Luo Xuangong.

Hu!

Luo Xuangong took a deep breath to calm himself down. He said in a deep voice, “It’s not important, but extremely important! In terms of specifics, this person, Xiang Yilong will share with everyone. He is one of the parties involved.”

Luo Xuangong extended his hand and gestured for Guan Zhonghua and the others to look at Xiang Yilong, who was slumped in a chair.

“Xiang Yilong? A member of the Xiang Family?” Xiao Renwo raised his eyebrows.

“He’s from the Xiang Family.” Luo Xuangong nodded. Then, he said to Xiang Yilong in a deep voice, “Brother Xiang, please repeat what happened.”

Xiang Yilong opened his mouth and spoke slowly.

He recounted how he was deliberately approached and what happened that night.

At the end, he said softly, “I only know that his surname is Zhao, and he has always asked me to address him as Young Master Zhao. I don’t know his real name.”

Silence.

In the conference room, both inside and outside the screen, Guan Zhonghua and company had solemn and grim expressions on their faces.

Someone actually wants to kill the Martial Sage and replace him?!

Who the f*ck is this person? He’s actually so crazy?

What kind of faction is behind this?

To dare to kill a Martial Sage and replace him, there had to be at least one person in the Transcendent-grade among those behind the scenes.

Every dynasty had martial artists in the Transcendent-grade realm, and some even had more than one.

However, few could attempt to annex the Yu Nation.

Although the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation had never shown his face and was also a newcomer, he was very powerful and was not inferior to some veteran Martial Sages.

Therefore, it would not be easy for the Martial Sages of the other dynasties to kill him.

The biggest possibility was still those independent Transcendent-grade experts.

It would indeed be very easy for these people to develop factions if they choose to do so.

However, they were also extremely well-hidden. Their headquarters would basically be overseas.

Ghost Ride, Gourmand, and other ancient organizations had never exposed the location of their headquarters.

Therefore, it was difficult to guess who had targeted the Martial Sage.

“Do you know any abnormalities with that Zhao fellow?”

After a moment of silence, Guan Zhonghua said, “On second thought, this matter is very important.”

“I know it’s important, but that Zhao fellow didn’t say anything.” Xiang Yilong gritted his teeth. “This b*stard has been guarding against me. I won’t know what he wants me to do until tomorrow night.”

“Tomorrow night is too late.” Luo Xuangong shook his head. “We have to figure out his plan before then. Of course, before that, we have to inform the Martial Sage. I believe you support this, Brother Xiang?”

Luo Xuangong looked at Xiang Yilong.

“If I don’t support this, would I have surrendered to you people?”

Xiang Yilong said irritably, “That Zhao brat has ill intentions, but no one knows what he’s plotting.”

“It’s not that we don’t know at all,” said Xiao Renwo. “Since that fellow approached Brother Xiang, it means that he needs your identity to do something! What’s Brother Xiang’s most important identity?”

“New Chu’s imperial family!” Ao Chunqiu said indifferently.

“That’s right, the New Chu imperial family!” Xiao Renwo said seriously, “If that Zhao fellow wants to use the identity of the New Chu imperial family, why does he want this identity? What is he trying to do with this identity?”

“Bullsh*t!” Guan Zhonghua said in a deep voice. “That Zhao fellow is prepared to pull wool over our eyes and do something that will affect the strength of a Martial Sage!”

“A rebellion!”

Fu Neng’s eyes lit up. “That Zhao fellow is preparing to start a rebellion in the country and destroy the stability of the dynasty!”

“Which army in the New Chu Nation was the most restless?” Ao Chunqiu stared at Xiao Renwo.

“The Canaan Army.” Xiao Renwo frowned. “But the Canaan Army has already been disbanded. All the soldiers have returned to their native homes. It will be very difficult to gather them again.”

“It’s more than that. The follow-up investigations of these soldiers have never stopped. After they returned home, they received a lot of bonuses. They’re all doing very well now. If there’s no big temptation, there’s no need to join the rebellion,” said Luo Xuangong. “After all, since ancient times, there has only been one outcome for a rebellion—death!”

“Do they have nothing better to do than gamble their lives on a war with no future?”

“I don’t think it’s the army either.” Fu Neng nodded. “The success rate of launching the rebel army to capture a city is too low.”

“If it’s not the army, then there’s another possibility.” Xiao Renwo narrowed his eyes and said, “Military factories! If that Zhao fellow were to get a few military factories to riot and fire some weapons… That wouldn’t be good!”

Before he could finish, Xiao Renwo thought of something and his expression changed.

Guan Zhonghua also thought of something and exclaimed, “Quick, call the east! Tell them to pay attention to Wolf Head Mountain behind the border!”

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

Xiang Yilong, who was enjoying the analysis, asked curiously when he saw this.

However, no one answered him. Guan Zhonghua and Luo Xuangong both had solemn expressions and nervous eyes.

Xiao Renwo even took out his phone in front of everyone and dialed a number.

…

At the same time.

The Golden Sparrow Mountain Basin, the former border area between the Yu Nation and the New Chu Nation.

The commander of the Prefecture Army, also the Great General of the border, Dongfang Pochu, was cultivating in the camp under the moonlight.

The Golden Sparrow Mountain Basin was the Golden Sparrow Mountain Range a hundred years ago.

During the war between the two countries, modern shells and shockwaves from top-ranked experts caused the mountain range to become a basin after a hundred years.

As for Dongfang Pochu, as a man who had once vowed to destroy the New Chu Nation, the Great General who had been staying at the border since he was 20 years old, he was very confused now.

He was in a daze day and night, not knowing what to do.

The New Chu Nation was gone and had integrated into the Yu Nation.

His lifelong goal, motivation, and direction were gone.

Right now, the only thing normal about him was cultivation.

Therefore, most of the time, Dongfang Pochu was in a cultivating state and paid no attention to the outside world.

His subordinates would not disturb him either. They would basically stay far away.

With the merger of the two countries, the border naturally disappeared.

The New Chu Army across the Golden Sparrow Mountain Basin had long been disbanded.

The Yu Nation’s camp was still there, and the army was still stationed there. This was the only way for the Dongfang Pochu to resist, although he did not know what they were fighting for.

He cultivated day and night, trying to forget everything in the outside world.

However, tonight, Dongfang Pochu had just started cultivating when his subordinates hurriedly found him and sent him a phone.

“Great General, an urgent call from the Supreme Marshal!”
