Chapter 40: True Buddha Manifests in the World
Chapter 40: True Buddha Manifests in the World
Looking at the densely packed drones like a swarm of bees, countless searchlights illuminated the abandoned factory, making it as bright as daylight under the night rain.
Ji Jingqiu said, "Starlight Corporation and Li Buyi have a cooperative relationship. The recent raid was initiated by them."
This statement immediately caused a commotion among those present, but the most surprised were the people from the Security Bureau.
Yang Yan and Zhang Chongba, however, showed no reaction, as if such matters were commonplace to them.
Zhang Chongba narrowed his eyes and said, "Since we know which corporation's people, that makes things easier."
The deputy director Jin stepped forward, his expression fierce, and said, "Specialist, should we open fire?"
"What fire, open what fire?" Zhang Chongba snorted coldly. "Dealing with these high-ranking families with complete estates, do we need to act? No, we should directly issue a temporary requisition order from the Federation Religious Administration Bureau. We can say we have obtained the whereabouts of the Unsurpassed True Buddha Sect members, suspecting the arrival of malevolent deities. We can request the armed members of Starlight Corporation to assist in the encirclement.
And then we tell them, if they dare say a single word of refusal, I will have seen them at this abandoned factory in the Lower City District. Remember, once we engage the Unsurpassed True Buddha Sect, let them move forward first, and we'll retreat."
The deputy director Jin sighed inwardly, fully understanding the implications.
This was not just a final ultimatum but a naked threat. If they did not comply with the requisition and control, it would mean silencing them.
The cooperation with the Unsurpassed True Buddha Sect mentioned by Ji Jingqiu just now was not yet substantiated, and it could not be spoken of without evidence.
However, the armed force that quietly gathered in the lower district of the old industrial area, could they be good people? If you did not cooperate, you were bound to have a problem.
If you cooperated, post-incident judgment would be based on his mood.
Specialist Zhang expressed just that meaning.
To this, the deputy director Jin had no objections.
In any case, Starlight Corporation did not have any business investments in Taian City.
He hurriedly left to attend to the matter.
Elder Master Yang confirmed that Ji Jingqiu was unharmed, and then he took the lead in the direction indicated by Ji Jingqiu, heading out to scout the situation.
Leaving behind Ji Jingqiu and Zhang Chongba.
"Brother, you stay put for now, just stay here. Currently, there is no place in Taian City safer than this."
Saying this, Zhang Chongba sighed, "Fortunately, nothing happened to you this time. Otherwise, my uncle would not forgive me, and your brother would make me lose face, and I might as well accompany you to the end."
Although the biggest issue this time was the intelligence lapse, overlooking Li Buyi's flesh and blood prowess, and they anticipated that Ji Jingqiu would not be in mortal danger. But with the situation escalating to this point, nothing is certain, who knows if Li Buyi might go insane?
Ji Jingqiu was the one Zhang Chongba promised to protect.
The current turmoil made it hard to say that it was not his own underestimation that led to this situation, such as having Cold Blade take over his guard of Ji Jingqiu.
In his partnership with Cold Blade, Cold Blade was the red stick, and he was the white paper parasol.
At that time, if he had been present...
Zhang Chongba patted Ji Jingqiu's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "After the incident, I will give you an account."
At this point, Ji Jingqiu's perspective broadened.
The world is unpredictable, and nothing is certain at any moment. There is nothing that can be absolutely guaranteed.
What they could do was to make themselves stronger, to have the ability to face and challenge crises when they arrive, and to prevent situations like today from happening again.
At this moment, Ji Jingqiu's resolve for martial arts and the pursuit of strength grew even firmer.
Stepping into the path of martial arts was for survival.
And the pursuit of strength was for the protection of what they already possessed.
The deputy director Jin had not been gone for long when a man in a martial arts uniform, with slightly graying temples and a hooked nose, and a fierce expression, walked over.
His gaze lingered on Cold Blade, with whom he had been at odds for a long while.
Then, he seemed to recognize Cold Blade's origins, his expression changing from fierce to unpleasant.
Zhang Zhongba raised his hand in a gesture, as if addressing a subordinate who would come at his beck and call.
"What's your name?"
"I am Wu Di."
"Good name," Zhang Zhongba smiled, narrowing his eyes, and casually pulled up the other's identity file on the terminal, "Do you want me to send your deployment order to your group's HR department now? It'll be easier to issue the subsidy later."
Wu Di's expression turned unpleasant, and he took a deep breath, "No need. Assisting the Federation Religious Administration Bureau in eradicating evil is the duty of every federal martial artist."
"You're enlightened!" Zhang Zhongba gave a thumbs up, then casually said, "Then, I'll trouble Mr. Wu to take the lead later. Tonight, I'll pretend I didn't see you."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Wu Di's face remained unpleasant, but he visibly relaxed. He thanked Zhang Zhongba with a bow and turned to leave.
After he walked away, Zhang Zhongba turned to look at Ji Jingqiu, "Little brother, do you know who our Bureau's main surveillance target is right now?"
"Isn't it a religious deity?"
"Hehe, that was during the Federation's early days." Zhang Zhongba made a money-counting gesture, "A long time ago, the largest religion within the Federation had transformed into this."
Ji Jingqiu was taken aback.
"Now, we don't call ourselves the Federation Religious Administration Bureau anymore, but simply the Federation Bureau," Zhang Zhongba sighed lightly, "Of course, our greatest enemy is the unknown existence suppressed in the wilderness, as well as the false gods created within the Federation."
"Little brother, you must remember to stay away from all spiritual beings..."
Just as they were whispering, a chaotic and violent heart-mind storm swept through a ten-mile radius in an instant! This heart-mind storm was extremely terrifying, almost overwhelming, like a combination of countless thoughts, intertwining and intertwining, appearing powerful and strange.
Zhang Zhongba's expression turned solemn, and he took a step forward, protecting Ji Jingqiu behind him.
A thousand meters away from them, a figure soared into the sky, releasing a ball of white light behind him.
The white light was so pure that it could not contain even a hint of impurity.
Within the light and shadows, a Buddha-like figure appeared, standing tall and majestic in the sky, looking sacred and majestic.
Zhang Zhongba shouted, "Everyone, don't look! Those below the Third Stage, close your eyes and retreat!"
The white light, which seemed to purify everything in the world, gave Ji Jingqiu a strangely familiar feeling.
Gradually, in his eyes, the white light turned black, a deep and dark shade. On the Buddha's body, countless faces slowly emerged, some hideous, some painful, and some filled with despair...
Each one revealed a creepy and eerie feeling that sent shivers down the spine.
Ji Jingqiu recognized one of the faces and suddenly felt it was very familiar, as if...
It resembled Yangshi's face?
Zhang Zhongba's vision was similar to Ji Jingqiu's.
When he saw one of the many faces on the Buddha's body, his expression changed drastically, and he blurted out, "Second Uncle, that's Tian Di! Come back!"
At that moment.
Cold Blade's knife, which had been poised to strike, left its sheath.
The sound of the knife went from silent to deep, then to a high-pitched roar like the clouds in the sky, lasting only an instant! The knife's light, swift as the wind and shadow, tore through the night sky, seizing the moment when the opponent had just materialized and their thoughts were unstable, and slashed down fiercely!
With that one strike, the evil Buddha seemed to be split in two! A deep roar suddenly echoed, accompanied by an even stronger heart-mind storm, and the intense white light began to reform like water, as if the strike hadn't injured it. But inside it, a golden flame suddenly ignited, burning it painfully as it howled.
Below.
Yang Yan stared at the face of agony on the Buddha's body, unable to take his eyes off it.
His martial will surged like flowing fire, rising into the sky.
"Tian'er..."
"Father will come to relieve you soon..."
