Chapter 1565 Taking Advantage of the Situation to Secure the Realm

After Chen Chuan and Ren Xinshan finished their conversation, he received the relevant information shortly afterward.

He took a look and, sure enough, the anomaly that he couldn't resolve was not the fault of the Secret Cult Censorship Bureau.

This unusual change is indeed very complex, especially since Dhārajad's early mishandling allowed it to grow so powerfully that it reached the highest level of disaster.

Even under such circumstances, thanks to the Secret Ritual Master dispatched by the General Bureau of Review and the anomalies brought by the state, the situation was still restrained and temporarily suppressed, thus controlling the situation and preventing it from growing and spreading further.

Of course, if the Secret Church Review Board were to disregard all costs, it could actually deal with this anomaly, but this could cause irreversible damage and changes to anomalies contained by the state.

Whether it results in the loss of important national assets or subsequent changes that could lead to even more terrible or unpredictable consequences, these are things that the head of the Secret Church and the higher-ups above them cannot bear, and their rank is not high enough to make such a decision.

Chen Chuan reviewed the report and recommendations from the Secret Sect Administration and concluded that the anomaly should be resolved at a low cost by sending it back to its original location and having them handle it.

This requires coordination with Dhritarashtra, communication with higher authorities, and cooperation from multiple departments. This is something they cannot accomplish on their own; it requires the main person in charge to resolve.

When Huang Quji arrived there as the person in charge, he only ordered them to handle the matter as quickly as possible, ignoring everything else.

Of course, if he is simply acting as an administrative official, he could be blamed for neglecting his duties, handling problems in a simplistic and crude manner, and failing to communicate effectively. Subordinates can file a complaint, and higher-level departments can investigate and hold him accountable or remove him from his post as appropriate.

However, in addition to his official duties, he was also a martial arts practitioner at the Dongxuan Temple, which made things more complicated.

His main task was to act as a deterrent at the border, preventing Chlorgata from taking any further steps on the border, including preventing any more unauthorized entry. He could ignore everything else, and no one could criticize him.

Chen Chuan pondered for a moment. This matter needed to be handled properly; Chiluojiado still needed to be deterred. It seemed that the two things could be addressed together.

He quickly came up with an idea. With a thought, he immediately created a clone of his power, which flew away without taking any vehicle.

In the former southern region, Huang Quji sat on a reclining chair with a steaming hot drink beside him. This was a fortress built on the border.

It's April now, and the snow and ice haven't melted yet. The blue sky and the tranquil lake reflect the snow-capped mountains. Looking down from here, there's an endless plain stretching out in front of you, creating a sense of vast and lonely beauty.

He watched the flowers and plants that were tenaciously breaking through the soil and slowly sipped a specially made hot drink.

This is his favorite drink, "Fiery Lava," which requires the addition of many rare fruits from the Jiaorong region, which he specifically requested to be transported from Zhongjing.

After taking a sip, he exhaled a hot breath, then inhaled a slightly sweet and cool air, which seemed to carry a hint of grass and wood fragrance.

The conditions here were terrible, but it was also far from the hustle and bustle. He was glad that he had made that decision to leave the Security Affairs Department early on, so that he was not purged along with He Shugang.

Even though his status wouldn't warrant anything serious, being sidelined wasn't something he wanted; he still had a lot to do before the big crash arrived.

There are no superiors here, nor are there any troublesome subordinates, so he has a lot of autonomy. If he waits a few months and the big crash comes, given his status, he won't be afraid of anything happening. At that time, the country will need him even more.

At this moment, a message appeared on his device: a high-level telegram had been sent from behind, and he needed to receive it personally.

He frowned, remained seated, and a finger broke off, transforming into another version of himself, which then walked over there.

Upon receiving the telegram, his expression immediately soured. It came from within the sect, reminding him that the higher-ups were dissatisfied with the slow progress in handling the anomaly and would be sending an advisor to hold them accountable and deal with the matter.

The candidate was none other than Consultant Chen, with whom he had some past conflicts.

Why are they suddenly coming to handle this matter? And why is it the advisory team that's getting involved?
It's quite normal for this kind of thing to take a year or two to handle. Is this small matter really worth the attention of the Supreme Advisory Council? Is it because a major collision is imminent?
He immediately used his internal channels to find out what was going on and learned that it was the protests of Dhrogado that drew their attention to this place and implicated him.

His expression darkened. There was another reason why he had retreated here: to take the initiative to back down. A powerful official hiding at the border was a sign of surrender and weakness, so that the higher-ups would be less likely to pursue the matter.

He had also tried to speak to Dhritarashtra and asked them to behave themselves these days and not to be so reckless, as someone else might not be as easy to talk to as he was.

It seems that some people can't understand human language.

Since that's the case, then don't blame him for being impolite.

After pondering for a while, he boarded an airship and left the border post, arriving in the former central city of Nando. Finally, he entered a private room in a hotel building that he had booked in advance.

Shortly after he sat down, a man walked in without saying a word, waiting quietly for him to speak.

He said, "The higher-ups might be targeting me."

The person on the other end said, "Manager Huang, what are your thoughts? Before the changes arrive, the company cannot fight against them, nor can it influence the top decision-making level."

Huang Quji waved his hand and said, "It won't affect Da Shun, but the company should be able to influence Chi Luo Jia Duo."

The person on the other end was silent for a moment. "What kind of help do you need?" Huang Quji tapped the Lower Realm Token and sent a document over.

After receiving the message, the person on the other end of the line had a series of flashes of light in the implanted eye, as if communicating with someone. After a while, he said, "Manager Huang, your application has been approved. We can arrange and process your request later."

In addition, the company would like to convey a suggestion to you.

Huang Quji didn't speak, but simply raised his chin slightly, signaling him to continue.

The man said, "As a fighter from Dongxuan Temple, you are destined to be one of the pillars of the world, an indispensable fighting force. Some things can be temporarily set aside. In a few months at most, the world will change, and the predicament you are facing will no longer be a problem."

We welcome you to join us in changing the world.

Huang Quji looked at him and said, "There's no need to talk about empty promises anymore. I know more about them than you do. I'll go and see for myself when the time comes."

As they were talking, the eyes on the other end of the line flashed again, and he received some more information.

After looking at it, he said, "That's it." With that, he stood up and hurriedly boarded the airship back to the fortress.

Less than two hours after he returned, Chen Chuan's clone landed inside the border fortress military base.

Upon his arrival, he immediately took over all the site equipment and personnel management authority in his capacity as an advisor, and demanded that Huang Quji come to see him right away.

Upon receiving the news, Huang Quji rushed over immediately. This time, he adopted a very humble attitude towards Chen Chuan, completely behaving like a subordinate, showing no signs of being a martial artist from the Dongxuan Temple.

He was not the only one present; there were also ritual masters and the person in charge from the General Bureau of Esoteric Buddhist Review. Everyone was focused on their own thoughts, as if they hadn't seen the scene at all.

Chen Chuan asked, "Officer Huang, the anomalies from Chiluojia have been raging across our territory for so long. What do you think is the reason for this?"

Huang Quji replied, "I believe this stems from the negligence and lack of cooperation of the Dhārajads, and they bear the primary responsibility."

Chen Chuan neither agreed nor disagreed, but pushed a document in front of him.

"This is a recent protest letter from Dhritarashtra. Do you think we should retaliate?"

Huang Quji glanced at it and replied without hesitation, "Advisor Chen, I believe we must retaliate. Even if we don't retaliate, they will spread the word that this was our doing, and not only in words, but also in actions."

"How to say?"

"If it's just a matter of words, they won't suffer any real loss and will continue to provoke us next time. This may seem like a way to ease tensions, but it's actually condoning them and damaging our international reputation."

When we deal with other countries in the future, some people will take advantage of our kindness, and the hidden losses will be enormous.

Therefore, we must teach them a harsh lesson.

The more they protest, the more we must fight, until they dare not protest anymore.

Chen Chuan glanced at it, and Huang Quji seemed to understand the situation. He said, "Officer Huang, you've been on the border for quite some time now. Do you have any good suggestions? I'd like to hear your opinion."

Huang Quji was clearly prepared. He immediately sent a document to Chen Chuan, saying, "These are some of my immature ideas."

The method here is simple: targeted strikes are launched against the officials currently protesting and the power groups, corporations, and religious organizations behind them.
This way, they can be hurt quickly, and other competitors will take advantage of their decline. As for how much damage they will suffer, that depends on how far the higher-ups want to go.

After reviewing it, Chen Chuan asked, "So, Huang, can you handle this task?"

Huang Quji said, "I have no problem."

Chen Chuanyu said calmly, "Then I'll leave it to you. I don't care about the specific execution strategy; I just want the result, a result that satisfies everyone."

Huang Quji immediately said "okay".

Chen Chuan did not tell him what would happen if it failed.

But he knew Chen Chuan had plenty of ways to deal with him, and judging from the current situation, he felt that Chen Chuan was very likely to launch a purge before or after the Great Bombardment.

He couldn't be sure if he was on the list, but he knew that some people at the top might be fine, but he definitely couldn't escape it.

But then he thought again, if he could get things done for this person, it might be an opportunity.
