Chapter 1564 The Rise of Momentum Feels the Chill

"Explain? Give me an explanation for what?"

Before Dai Xuming could finish speaking, Fan Zhentong coldly retorted:
“Dhārajata allowed the anomalies in the north to reach our borders, which caused considerable damage to our country.”

We still have many investigators and members of the review board handling this matter, and we haven't even confronted them about it yet, but they have the nerve to say these things to us.

Gao Geliang said, "I remember that Chiluojiado has repeatedly issued statements that this anomaly belongs to them and demanded that we return it. So, can we conclude that Chiluojiado condoned the country's weapons launching a border invasion against our Great Shun?"

The Dhrokado Confederation has a history of exaggerating in various matters and making irresponsible statements without any scruples. While these statements can usually be ignored, they can be used as evidence if one wants to find fault with them.

Tie Yinyang said bluntly, "If this is the result they want, we can give it to them."

At this point, an advisor from the refined school spoke up and asked, "Advisor Dai, does Dharani have any evidence in this matter?"

Dai Xuming said, "At present, they are only making accusations, but have not provided any corresponding evidence. Their government has only sent us a strongly worded diplomatic letter."

The consultant said, "If there's no evidence, then there's no point in saying anything more. I think we should just leave it at that."

An advisor from the Naturalist faction suddenly said, "But as far as I know, Chilo also held an international press conference, saying that it was because of our actions that they made unnecessary sacrifices in their fight against external aggression."

Listen to them, blaming us for their inability to withstand the pressure. How can we be international leaders like this?

He said with a serious expression, "We cannot let them slander us. We must respond sternly and demand that Dhritarashtra apologize to us."

"Yes, an apology is needed!"

Another advisor, who was more inclined to follow suit, immediately chimed in, “Advisor Dai, we can’t let this matter go so easily and allow it to fester. That would contradict the strategy we just discussed.”

"Indeed."

“I feel we have a responsibility to teach Dhritarashtra how to properly deal with us. We have neglected this in the past, and now that we are going to be a leader in the international arena, we cannot ignore it.”

Fang Yanxing couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In fact, regarding the operation of Chiluogado, both the conservatives and the progressives knew that it was related to Chen Chuan. However, some advisors who usually held different opinions took the initiative to speak up and stand on the side of defending Chen Chuan, which was really strange.

Liu Changlin found it strange at all. The reason was that Chen Chuan's performance this time had truly shocked everyone.

The higher the level of a fighter, the more sensitive they are to the concept of strength. Chen Chuan's battle not only defeated the enemy, but also established his prestige and won people's hearts.

Even those who previously held different positions and ideas from him are willing to stand with him as long as there is no major conflict of interest. Ultimately, they are all fighters, and their way of thinking is not entirely political; their underlying thinking is more inclined towards that of fighters.

Tan Xubo then said, "As far as I know, Huang Quji, the clerk of the Security Affairs Department, went to the border to deal with the anomaly. He's been there for so long, but he still hasn't resolved it, and it has caused a conflict between us and Chiluojia. Does he really have the ability to do this job?"

The advisors' expressions were subtle; they were clearly using this as an excuse to make a fuss.

And what's going on here?
As an advisor to Wuyi Academy, Tan Xubo is an absolute minority in the advisory group. He usually doesn't speak up or express his opinions. If there is a decision, he won't favor either side. But now it seems that he is speaking up for Chen Chuan.

They all knew which faction Huang Quji belonged to.

However, judging from his serious expression, no one could tell what he was really thinking.

Dai Xuming said, "This matter has indeed dragged on for too long and needs to be investigated and dealt with as soon as possible."

Xiao Yuanguang then looked at Chen Chuan: "Advisor Chen, I remember you also know about the decryption device and the anomaly. In the previous war against the old imperial family, it was you who presided over the battle and promptly collected a large anomaly, and turned it into our national weapon."

I think it would be best to ask you to investigate and handle this matter. What do you think?

Most of the advisors approved of this choice of person to handle the matter.

Although Huang Quji was only a clerk, he was, after all, from Dongxuan Temple. The person in charge of handling and investigating the matter not only needed to be of a higher rank than him, but also to be stronger in martial arts, and also had to be familiar with the relevant affairs. Chen Chuan was indeed the most suitable among them.

As for the dispute with Dhritarashtra, using anomalies as a starting point to counter his actions is indeed a suitable approach. A strong person is needed to preside over it, and entrusting it to Chen Chuan would be equally appropriate. It's important to understand that international affairs never prioritize evidence; after all, there are no judges, and justice is not upheld. The international community has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak.

If you have the ability to do this and keep people from speaking out, as long as it doesn't involve their own interests, many countries simply won't care. If you demonstrate more power in the event, the higher-ups will understand that they must adopt a humble attitude when dealing with you, and their people will respect your strength.

If such accusations against Chirogata are so easily dismissed, then other countries will rush to follow suit. Chen Chuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine."

This matter can be resolved by sending a clone, and it won't interfere with his cultivation.

Seeing that he agreed, and with the support of a group of advisors, the matter was quickly passed at the meeting.

There were no more important topics to discuss, and the group talked about some other miscellaneous matters before the advisory board meeting came to an end.

After the other advisors left, Dai Xuming and Tong Xin stayed behind.

After the two returned to the internal conference room, Tong Xin frowned and said, "Something's not quite right."

Chen Chuan never hid his intentions; he practically made it clear that he would be coming to deal with them soon.

He shouldn't have been worried about these things, since past examples had proven that this path was a dead end. However, Chen Chuan's combat prowess, which he displayed not long ago, far exceeded the realm of common sense, and even those who had tried to rewrite the situation in the past probably couldn't compare to him.

The bias shown by many consultants towards him this time made him feel a serious sense of threat.

Dai Xuming actually understood this. Victory is truth, and when a person is never defeated by external forces and instead wins time and time again, everyone will be willing to stand by his side.

He said, "When those extraterrestrial beings fail to defeat him and are instead defeated by him, we should have expected this outcome."

Tong Xin said, "So, will his next step be to seek a position in the five-person group in order to gain more support?"

The five-person group is merely a decision-making and execution team on behalf of the advisors. They are not ranked higher or lower than the other advisors, and their appointments are based entirely on internal recommendations.

This position is both important and unimportant, especially since it is authorized by other advisors. Any external intelligence and information are delivered to them first, and they are also responsible for the priority use and allocation of certain resources.

They actually acted as internal communicators and managers, but if this role were reversed, especially after the big crash, and if they seized a certain opportunity, they could naturally become real managers.

"He won't agree."

Dai Xuming spoke with absolute certainty.

"This person usually focuses on cultivation and spends the rest of his time fighting against extraterrestrial demons. This is a pure and simple style. As long as we don't give him too many opportunities to show off, we'll be fine."

Tong Xin nodded. He had figured it out too. With the current intensity of the confrontation, it was impossible to do anything to Chen Chuan. On the contrary, it would only continue to enhance Chen Chuan's personal prestige.

Dai Xuming said, "This person has been busy enough in the past. If international support can be promoted, I think we can let him take a break for the time being. Our advisory group cannot put heavy responsibilities on one person."

Tong Xin's eyes were deep as he said, "On this matter, I believe that all the advisors agree."

After leaving Danxin Hall, Chen Chuan contacted Ren Xinshan on his way back to the field space to inquire about the progress of Huang Quji's affairs.

Ren Xinshan quickly replied with a message, saying that Huang Quji had largely brought the situation under control when he arrived there, but progress was not significant because the anomaly was very unusual. They had tried many methods, but they could not truly resolve it. However, he believed that the real reason was that Huang Quji himself was unwilling to put in the effort.

Ren Xinshan said, "In this matter, Huang Siwu has a strong sense of independence, and as a martial artist of Dongxuan Temple, it is difficult for us to restrain him in many ways."

"Also, I have some unusual intelligence here. I originally wanted to discuss it with my colleagues at the Bureau of Cult Control and hold another meeting, but since Consultant Chen is handling this matter, I'll pass it on to him as well."

Chen Chuan took a look and found that it was an internal study of this anomaly by the government of Cheragado. The information was quite detailed and even had the signatures of some high-ranking officials of the Cheragado government.

From this, it can be seen that Dhritarashtra was very knowledgeable about this and made the request to handle it properly. So how did it turn out the way it did later?
He asked, "Minister Ren, is this information reliable?"

Ren Xinshan said, "It's reliable. We have insiders who have entered the upper echelons of Dhritarashtra. A lot of information is not a secret. Many people within them openly sell it, and sometimes the source is the person in charge himself."

Chen Chuan nodded. The problem with Huang Quji, even without the issue of holding the Luo Jia Duo note, must be resolved as soon as possible.

He said, "Minister Ren, give me the relevant information and the list of relevant personnel, and I will handle this matter."
