Hearing Wen Yu's response, Lin Haifeng slightly nodded and did not say anything more.
He casually indicated the professionals behind him to inspect the hall.
Perhaps fearing that Wen Yu would not be thorough, or perhaps wanting to find something.
However, these matters were no longer related to Wen Yu.
Glancing at a professional's shoulder, which belonged to the deceased from the Demon City gathering, Wen Yu shrugged.
“There was a situation on the Demon City gathering side, but we haven't figured out the specifics; this person was a death warrior,” Kuang Liu explained to Wen Yu.
Wen Yu nodded; his earlier question was simply out of curiosity.
Standing up directly, Wen Yu spoke to Lin Haifeng, who was beside Old Master Fang's corpse.
“Mission accomplished. If there's nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.”
Lin Haifeng had been standing in front of Old Master Fang's corpse, seemingly lost in thought. Hearing Wen Yu's voice, he slightly nodded.
“Come to the military headquarters tomorrow. We will conduct a win-win transaction, which can also be considered our first collaboration!”
Upon hearing the commander's words, Wen Yu chuckled twice, nodded, and turned to walk outside.
...
At the Demon City gathering, in Peng Jun's office.
When Lin Haifeng launched the attack on the central area, Peng Jun had already received the news.
“Old Lin acted too quickly!”
Peng Jun sighed and pressed his temples, smiling wryly.
Beside him, a young man in military uniform with sharp eyes slightly nodded.
“My original plan was to wait for the right moment to contact those from the gentry and work together to subdue Lin Haifeng, thereby taking over the Beijing gathering. However, once Old Lin strikes, those clueless guys will have no chance of survival!”
Peng Jun shook his head helplessly, and there wasn't much regret in his tone.
“By the way, how is the information you were asked to explore?”
The young man sitting beside him slightly nodded.
“News has come in; that demonic entity is in Harbin.”
Upon hearing this news, greed could not be concealed in Peng Jun's eyes.
“During this time at the Demon City gathering, you will take charge of the administrative matters. I need to go to Harbin.”
The young man nodded.
Peng Jun stood up, hurriedly putting on his clothes, then seemed to recall something and paused in place for a moment before saying,
“Has the new apostle leader been trained yet?”
The young man nodded.
“Bring him along with me.”
“Understood.”
Upon hearing Peng Jun's instruction, the young man immediately walked out.
“By the way, Peng Guang, there’s one more thing. Keep an eye on the movements of Sequence Two; he has recently been mingling with Old Lin. Speak with guardian no. 1 and find an opportunity to eliminate him.”
Hearing the words Sequence Two, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the young man named Peng Guang.
Seeing his reaction, Peng Jun chuckled.
“Recently, take some time to explore your new abilities. When the time is ripe, you will be Sequence Two, not Sequence Five.”
“Also, talk more with guardian no. 1 recently and strive to gain more benefits from him.”
“Understood.”
Peng Guang nodded and turned to leave the room.
Only Peng Jun remained standing in place, lost in thought.
After a while, he chuckled and spoke to himself,
“This is truly interesting. I never expected that the treasure land guardian under the sovereign would have thoughts of betrayal...”
“So, the so-called sovereign is not all-knowing and all-powerful after all!!!”
...
When Wen Yu woke up, he felt the air thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood.
He slightly pulled back the curtains, and warm sunlight poured into the bedroom, instantly bringing a sense of warmth to him.
Looking at the military vehicles driving back and forth on the street outside, as well as the soldiers patrolling, Wen Yu couldn't help but frown.
It seemed that the cleanup work regarding the remnants of the gentry was still not completed.
