Chapter 22: The Supreme Heavenly Path
"Big Brother!"
As Yang Yao entered the office, Ji Jingqiu and Zhang Xingshan stood up to greet him.
Yang Yao smiled and exchanged greetings with the two before turning to Ji Jingqiu and said, "I'm here to deliver a message from the Master for you."
"The Master already knows about your situation. He said you did well today, but remember this, never try to be a hero. If someone wants you to play the hero, spit in their face."
He reached out and gently pressed on Ji Jingqiu's shoulder, his gaze profound.
Ji Jingqiu was taken aback.
"Little Nine, take this person for identity registration and follow the external combat system application process."
Zhang Xing Yi instructed his subordinate to take Ji Jingqiu for identity registration.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
After Ji Jingqiu and Zhang Xingshan left, Zhang Xing Yi's smile faded, and he turned serious.
"Reinforcements from the Supreme Buddha Sect have arrived."
"Have you found someone?"
"No, it's a deduction. A few days ago, in a residential area in the lower mid-level district, these people still had the leisure to preach there."
"Preaching?" Yang Yao was astonished, "Dare the Supreme Buddha Sect openly preach?"
"They changed their name. Now they're called the Void Gate Sect, and the vice-president of the Skull Gang is leading the team personally."
Zhang Xing Yi gave a cold smile,
"They're disguised pretty well. Initially, we thought they were just a new religious group, and usually, we'd turn a blind eye as long as they didn't cause trouble.
But someone reported them as a cult, and the nearby Public Security Station conducted a routine inspection. Unexpectedly, the agent recognized a member of the Skull Gang and reported it directly to headquarters."
Yang Yao frowned, "A few days ago? That's when the Skull Gang was just suppressed by you, and their strength was greatly diminished. Instead of hiding, they dare to go to the lower mid-level district to preach, and it's led by the vice-president?"
He suddenly understood why Zhang Xing Yi was certain that the Supreme Buddha Sect had sent people.
"We've analyzed and have two speculations."
Zhang Xing Yi raised two fingers,
"First, when you find something incomprehensible and beyond belief, it's not necessarily a hidden conspiracy; it could simply be stupidity.
Second, someone is forcing them to act this way."
Yang Yao exhaled lightly, "Looks like they've indeed sent people."
This was the same as the Master's previous assumption.
The difference was that the other party did not take advantage of the Master's "injury" to seek revenge.
Zhang Xing Yi spoke solemnly,
"The higher-ups mean that we will proceed with the original plan to assign you to the external combat personnel. Your information will not be blocked internally.
If there's an insider in the Public Security Bureau, your information will soon reach certain people.
After that, you will be sent to the lower level to assist in tasks, which is essentially... bait!"
Yang Yao nodded; that's why he came.
He would proudly serve as bait to lure out the rats and hyenas hiding in the lower-level sewers.
"What did the Federal Security Agency say?" Yang Yao pondered.
Zhang Xing Yi paused, his tone changing, "During the meeting just now, the Federal Security Agency's attitude towards this matter was strange. They made no statements and remained silent throughout, nor did they express any intention to participate."
Yang Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully.
He and the Master had been to many places, and in most cases, the Federal Security Agency and the Public Security Bureau would not cooperate, often having conflicts and disputes.
For this matter, both sides should have worked together.
Even if they wanted to shirk responsibility or claim credit, they should have completed the task and captured the person first.
After a moment of thought, Yang Yao gave his judgment:
"It seems that someone from the Federal Security Agency has arrived, at least a senior commissioner, or even an elite commissioner.
The Federal Security Agency's system is different from yours. Once the higher-ups get involved, they can only stand by and watch, providing cover."
"This is both good news and bad news. The Federal Security Agency's reinforcement means a high-risk wanted criminal has appeared here."
"Given the current situation, it can be deduced that the Supreme Buddha Sect has sent a martial artist to infiltrate Taian City secretly, and the Federal Security Agency's commissioner is after that person."
"You need to coordinate with the Federal Security Agency; otherwise, if the actions of both sides collide and disrupt each other's plans, allowing the target to escape, you know who will take the blame."
Upon hearing Yang Yao's deduction, Zhang Xing Yi was both surprised and delighted, quickly realizing the implication.
Within the Security Bureau system, the rank of Elite Commissioner is even higher than that of a local Security Bureau Director.
When they are in need, the local Security Bureau must provide full cooperation.
Most importantly, these individuals are all powerful martial artists!
...
...
"Both Commissioners, it has been confirmed that this attack was masterminded by the Skeleton Gang, with several other gangs joining forces."
Deputy Director Jin of the Security Bureau wiped his sweat and reported.
There are a total of two Deputy Directors in the Security Bureau, with Deputy Director Wang having failed at the Public Security Bureau, and Deputy Director Jin now facing a difficult situation as well.
The Eighth Lord, adorned with a large gold chain, scoffed, "Xiao Jin, is this how your Taian City Security Bureau conducts its raids? It's truly embarrassing!"
Xiao Jin, who is almost fifty this year, nodded and bowed repeatedly.
This incident was indeed embarrassing. The Public Security Bureau and the Security Bureau had joined forces to raid a lower-level gang, but they had still allowed the gang to find a gap and launch a terrorist attack!
"The Supreme Buddha Sect has intervened in this matter."
Cold Blade, standing nearby, suddenly spoke up.
The original text can be found in Chapter 69@Book/Bar!
"How so?" The Eighth Lord's interest was piqued. "Is it Li Buyi? Did your Heart Blade sense him?"
"Not exactly," Cold Blade said expressionlessly, "but I went to the scene and found that the source of the explosion was a blood-flesh person candle, the Supreme Buddha Sect's favorite creation. Additionally, there were clear signs of mental manipulation on those people."
The Eighth Lord's face turned serious, his disgust unconcealed.
The Supreme Buddha Sect's most notorious act is their "person candles"!
"But what are they trying to achieve? Is it simply a provocation and demonstration?" The Eighth Lord stroked his chin in confusion.
Aside from further weakening the already dwindling Skeleton Gang, does this attack have any other substantial significance?
Is it a last-ditch effort before death, a mutual destruction?
Deputy Director Jin, standing beside him, lowered his head, feigning deafness and muteness.
Cold Blade suddenly looked at Deputy Director Jin, who was also lowering his head, and said, "He should know."
"Oh?" The Eighth Lord looked at Comrade Xiao Jin with interest. "Did your Heart Blade also reflect this?"
Deputy Director Jin's expression changed, and he finally smiled bitterly, "Both Commissioners, don't make it difficult for me. I only know some minor details. The Municipal Hall has issued a sealing order."
The Eighth Lord patted Xiao Jin's shoulder and comforted him, "It's fine, just tell us what you know. Xiao Jin, your Director Luo has instructed you to fully cooperate with us."
Deputy Director Jin remained silent for a moment, but eventually spoke in a low voice, "I only know that they are looking for a young girl, and even the Municipal Hall is searching for her."
"A young girl?" The Eighth Lord seemed to have made a connection, his gaze deep and mysterious.
After a moment, he waved his hand and dismissed Deputy Director Jin.
The latter couldn't wait to leave.
After sending off Xiao Jin, the Eighth Lord pondered for a moment and said, "A Dao, there's something I need to discuss with you. The Dao Canon on Dong Sanhuang Star might be real."
Cold Blade looked down at his communicator, typing a message to someone, and casually replied.
The so-called Dao Canon is simply the heritage of a martial arts lineage.
"It's not the Grandmaster's heritage..." The Eighth Lord spoke in a low voice.
If it's not a Celestial Being, then it must be one of the Five Realms of Martial Arts, the Heart Form Realm?
The Heart Form Realm, while barely sufficient, can still lay the foundation for a lineage's prototype, worthy of being called a Dao Canon.
Cold Blade paused in his typing.
He raised his head and saw the seriousness in Zhang Zhongba's small eyes.
It was as if he was emphasizing that his words were not to be taken lightly.
Why would the Heart Form Realm's heritage be so important to Zhang Zhongba?
If it's not the Grandmaster's, nor the Heart Form Realm...
How is that possible?
Isn't that absurd?
Cold Blade was also taken aback for a moment and said, "How can the Ji Family not be considered?"
Above the Grandmaster.
The Supreme Heavenly Path.
Even in the Federation, they are few and far between.
Even the Ji Family, who inherited the lineage of Ji Shuai, couldn't help but be tempted.
"Because they can't find him!" The Eighth Lord spoke in a low voice. "The Dong He Mu Family has confirmed that even after the passing of a Supreme Grand Master, he can still leave a trace of his mind in the Sea of Minds, and manifest in the mortal world through the power of collective faith and vows!"
"The Dao Canon of Dong Sanhuang Star is 'alive'!"
Thanks to the generous patrons: Huajian Ke, Flashing, Wang Heizi 123, Xun Jie Zhi Long, and Sui Feng Er Shi Yi Tian Lao Ge!
