Chapter 802: Seeking Guidance
Yao Zhiyi was slightly taken aback and said, "Really? You've killed his disciple?"
He pondered for a moment and seemed to understand the situation. After a brief pause, he continued, "This matter involves the continuation of the Wave Pavilion, and the Wind Crane Pavilion Master probably won't mind. Even if he does, he'll likely pretend not to care.
Judging from the situation, it seems like the disciple came looking for trouble himself. Well, there's nothing much to say about that. It's his disciple's fault for lacking skill, and we can't blame others for his shortcomings. Should we expect others to offer themselves up for punishment?"
At this moment, he suddenly paused as if someone on the other end was speaking to him. After a while, he said, "The intelligence department of the Defense Department just received a message. Apparently, the Linakses Federation had previously approached Feng Heshou, possibly to recruit him, but the outcome is unknown.
In that case, there's a good chance that he invited you to discuss some benefits with us. But we're not afraid of his demands. What we fear is that he might not ask for anything and instead turn to the Linakses Federation. That would be a problem.
Not because of his martial prowess, but because the islanders from overseas have long regarded these fighters as gods, and their mindset is deeply rooted. If we can get him on our side, it would greatly help win over the local populace, and it would make our operations overseas much easier.
Moreover, the location of the Two-Letter Island is critical. It's right in the heart of the area we've designated as our inner territory. If we allow the Linakses Federation to use this opportunity to establish a foothold here, it will cause us significant trouble. We should try our best to bring him to our side."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chuan paused to think, then asked, "Principal, what about the other Pavilion Masters from overseas? What are their thoughts?"
There were three major Pavilions overseas: the Wave Pavilion, the Wind Forest Pavilion, and the Tranquil Dawn Pavilion. Each had its own fighter in residence. In this situation, it wasn't just the Wave Pavilion and the Wind Forest Pavilion; the Tranquil Dawn Pavilion would also have to make a choice.
Yao Zhiyi said, "The Wind Forest Pavilion will definitely follow the Linakses Federation to the end. Their location on Crimson Gold Island is within the Federation's sphere of influence.
Their disciples actively cooperated with the Ferris Wheel's actions, and many of them hold positions in the Federation. The two are deeply intertwined, and it's unlikely they would switch sides.
As for the Tranquil Dawn Pavilion, it's hard to say. There hasn't been any news from them yet. But if you can make a breakthrough with the Wave Pavilion, even if the others side with the Linakses Federation, it won't be a problem. After all, the Wave Pavilion is the closest to us. Let's secure what we can first, and then worry about the rest."
Chen Chuan nodded, "Principal, I understand."
Principal Yao said, "That's good, Supervisor Chen. I need to return soon. Although there's no unusual activity from the former Imperial Court, with Mr. Xue's departure, I'm not at ease leaving Wan alone there."
Chen Chuan replied, "Okay," and ended the call.
He carefully considered the matter and decided that it couldn't be delayed. So, he prepared to set off as soon as possible and informed the Government Hall.
Initially, he had planned to go out to the sea for cultivation, but now it seemed more convenient to stay at the mansion, as there might be more news coming in.
By the time afternoon arrived, there was still no response from the Government Hall or the Defense Department, but Chang Dong had made contact.
"Minister, Mr. Zuan has returned from the Fusion Land and wants to meet with you."
Chen Chuan was surprised, "Oh? Mr. Zuan is back?"
Mr. Zuan had been heading straight for Radiant Light, but because his injuries were not fully healed and to conserve energy, he didn't travel too fast. Later, he realized that Radiant Light seemed to be constantly shifting, and after a long time, he found that Radiant Light had disappeared.
Fortunately, at this time, a large number of troops from the Dachun Defense Department entered the Fusion Land, and he was able to return by airship.
Chang Dong said, "Mr. Zuan is currently at the Southern Industrial District Branch."
Chen Chuan replied, "Good, I'll be right there."
He immediately left and drove a Gader car alone towards the outskirts. On the way, Secretary Qiao Yang contacted him, saying that the Radiant District had arranged a residence for him, fully equipped with various facilities tailored for fighters' cultivation, and even had an airship docking point for convenient travel.
He understood this was a subtle suggestion for him to move, but to be fair, the previous mansion was no longer suitable for him. While his spiritual cultivation was fine, and he could restrain his techniques, the space was still too small. It was time to change locations.
He informed Qiao Yang that he would receive the residence when he had the time.
After more than an hour of driving, he left the central city and arrived at the Southern Industrial District Branch. Chang Dong had already arrived and opened the door for him when he saw Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan got out of the car and thanked Chang Dong, who smiled and said, "Supervisor, Mr. Zuan is waiting for you inside."
Chen Chuan looked at the seemingly old factory gate and walked in. Inside, he saw that the originally empty factory had been renovated. There was a protective barrier at the entrance, and steel-framed support structures with metal staircases and walkways on both sides. He glanced at them and walked towards the staircase on the right.
Upon reaching the upper level, Mr. Zuan was sitting on a metal platform, wearing a significantly damaged black mask. In front of him were several sofas surrounding a small table.
Chen Chuan approached, and Mr. Zuan stood up, shaking his hand and saying, "After learning that Minister Chen, you've become a fighter, Mr. Zuan and I are both very happy for you. Congratulations, Minister Chen."
Chen Chuan replied, "Thank you. Without the support of the Sect and you two, my progress wouldn't have been this swift."
Mr. Zuan smiled and said, "As fellow sectarians, it's our duty to support each other. It's all thanks to Minister Chen's own efforts that you've come this far. There's only so much we can do. Please take a seat, Minister Chen."
Chen Chuan nodded, and after he sat down, he took a seat on the sofa opposite him. "How has it been with Mr. Zhao Zhenye since Mr. Zuan returned?"
Mr. Zuan replied, "Mr. Zhao Zhenye was injured previously, and he's currently practicing a secret technique. He won't come out until he masters it. Are you worried about him attacking Great Harmony's base? That's not likely. He hasn't shown any signs of loyalty to the former imperial court yet, and he won't engage in such a thankless task."
Even if he really wanted to attack, it wouldn't be easy. Wherever the military is in control, they not only build solid fortresses but also set up numerous esoteric rituals, except for the construction of sturdy fortifications.
In the Fusion Land, due to the environment and the conditions for the rituals, as well as the materials used, and if some relics are added, these rituals can be extremely effective.
With the fighters' persistence and cooperation in these rituals, they can reduce their consumption for a period, allowing them to act without hesitation. If they are truly outmatched, retreating under the favorable conditions of the home field is not difficult.
As for those military forces, they usually hide in sturdy fortresses. It's too challenging to dismantle them one by one, and even with all their strength, they might not be able to destroy them all. Almost no fighter would willingly expend their energy targeting them. Even if the military cooperates in attacking and capturing the fortress, the opposing fighters can still find ways to bypass and launch surprise attacks from behind or target other weak points. Therefore, when the two sides engage in battle, it's essential to address the high-end forces in advance.
Regarding this offensive plan, it's said that the insider in the Defense Department took a long time to figure out the rituals of the former imperial court in the Fusion Land. They used relics to lure Wei Guo Chan away and then sent in a fighter who understood ritual enigmas to partially disrupt the rituals, ultimately leading to the successful attack on the camp..."
Chen Chuan thought to himself that the fighter who understood ritual enigmas was probably Mr. Xue.
Mr. Zuan continued, "Even with the plan in place, the former imperial court didn't make any mistakes. They were cautious enough and even involved Mr. Zhao Zhenye to plug the loopholes. If it weren't for the government's foresight in sending us to guard against him, even if they failed to obtain the relics, they wouldn't have suffered significant losses."
Chen Chuan said, "In the end, it's because the high-end forces they can deploy are limited."
"You're absolutely right!" Mr. Zuan agreed wholeheartedly. "The reason they lost this time is that they had fewer high-end forces than us. If the two of them had stayed in the camp all the time, it would have been difficult to handle. We could retreat if we couldn't win, and after we withdrew, we could return. But as soon as they separated, their weaknesses were exposed, and we immediately seized the opportunity to defeat them."
He seemed to become enthusiastic when talking about this topic, but then he raised one hand and knocked on his mask expressionlessly, coughing twice. "I've digressed. Let's talk about Minister Chen's matter."
He looked at Chen Chuan seriously and said, "Before we came out, you applied to the headquarters for guidance in your cultivation. After we left, the headquarters also notified us. So, today is a good time to respond to Minister Chen's application. I wonder how much you understand about your future cultivation path and if you have any plans."
Chen Chuan said, "I've already read some introductory materials and have decided to choose the path of Human Form."
Mr. Zuan smiled and said, "The path of Human Form is easy to learn but difficult to master. The Sect should be delighted with your choice. The several major schools in the country each have their own areas of expertise and in-depth research.
The Refinement Sect has made significant progress in Unusual Forms because most of their members are high-level elites. Many are former high-ranking officials and nobles of the old dynasty, and they possess many historical documents and materials from that era. In this aspect, no other school can compare.
The Fusion Sect is the most profound in their research on Divine Forms. Among them are many successors of the old national religion, and they are suspected of having long-term communication with certain entities.
As for our Pure School, based on our principles, traditions, and our understanding of the path of Human Forms, we can provide you with a lot of useful help." He paused and added, "Even if there are any deviations during cultivation, we can find ways to help you correct them."
