Chapter 235 Approaching the Shining Star Society
Chapter 235 Approaching the Shining Star Society
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Yes, indeed, that's very well said."
Over the decades, he had come to know Chen Feng to some extent and knew that the other party would not draw conclusions without reason.
Although he said it was speculation, there is a very high probability that it is the correct answer.
"Yaoxing Society, Qu Tong..."
Zhang Zhiwei murmured the name again. She didn't know much about this mysterious woman, only that her methods were extraordinary.
Under her management, the emerging force, Yaoxing Society, has become comparable to the Jianghu Xiaozhan, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, demonstrating its extraordinary nature.
Moreover, this person has some collaborations with the company, which makes things much more complicated.
With this thought in mind, Zhang Zhiwei immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.
After a few beeps, the call was answered, and a surprised voice came through: "Oh, is this the Old Master? I didn't expect you to call a kid like me. What's up, do you want to ask about something?"
"Master, please speak freely. I will tell you everything I know, and I will use my power to investigate even if I don't know it."
The speaker was Mu You, one of the Ten Elders and the head of Jianghu Xiaozhan, an intelligence organization in the world of supernatural beings.
"Xiao Muyou, the reason I'm calling is to ask you about someone, Qu Tong, the president of Yaoxing Society. I need accurate information about her, the kind that's very precise. Don't try to fool me with superficial things."
Zhang Zhiwei wasted no time and stated his purpose directly.
Upon hearing this, Mu You raised an eyebrow slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, but he remained calm and his tone did not change at all.
"Oh, Qu Tong, to be honest, our staff at Xiaozhan noticed her a few years ago and started gathering information about her."
As both are intelligence organizations, Yaoxing Society is essentially competing for business with them, much like the two major schools of Danqing, the Divine Painting School of the Wang family and the Secret Painting School.
Back then, Dou Ruchang, the leading figure of the secret painting guild, was a grandmaster with an excellent reputation. Even after the matter of the Thirty-Six Thieves was exposed, people in the circle did not dare to make a move easily and invited him over for a confrontation with great caution.
Dou Ruchang originally had a chance to extricate himself from suspicion, but unfortunately, Wang Qiran, the father of Wang Ai, the head of the Wang family at the time, suddenly spoke up. After a debate, the man who was the face of the secret painting was speechless and could only dig out his heart to prove his innocence.
The complete decline of the Secret Painting Sect might even have been partly due to the Wang family's influence...
There was a slight pause on the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of documents being searched, and then Mu You's voice rang out.
"Qu Tong is a very mysterious woman. We haven't even been able to figure out her methods. Her family background is also very mysterious. She seems to be a rogue cultivator. But for some reason, she has a large number of people who are loyal to her. Among them are not only ordinary people, but also many skilled people. Even Master Yixiang can be associated with her."
“I had previously sent a few disciples to secretly infiltrate the Yaoxing Society in order to obtain some information, but strangely, those disciples all broke their promises and there was no news of them. I originally thought they had disappeared, but unexpectedly, a powerful disciple later sent word that those disciples had actually betrayed us.”
To be precise, none of the Ten Elders are kind-hearted; each of them has their own ulterior motives. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to sit in the position of the manager of this world of supernatural beings.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei couldn't help but feel a little surprised, knowing that the loyalty of the disciples of Jianghu Xiaozhan was well-known in the world of supernatural beings.
I never expected that she would be subdued so easily. It seems that Qu Tong is indeed quite peculiar.
At this moment, Zhang Zhiwei was even more convinced of Chen Feng's words. If nothing unexpected happened, his fourth disciple was very likely to have been tricked by Qu Tong.
On the other side, Mu You seemed to remember something, and his tone became low.
"By the way, Celestial Master, I should also remind you that I have vaguely heard about what happened at Longhu Mountain. In my opinion, there are very few people who could attack Master Zhao without you noticing. Therefore, Qu Tong is highly suspicious."
Upon hearing this, the old master instantly guessed what the other party meant: "Oh, Xiao Mu, do you want me to take action against Yaoxing Society for you?"
Seeing that his intentions had been seen through, Mu You showed no embarrassment whatsoever. He chuckled a few times and continued speaking.
"How could I? How could a junior like me dare to play tricks in front of you? I'm just trying to help you out. Don't worry, I'm not saying this without reason. There aren't many people in the entire circle who can control Master Zhao silently. Apart from those who obtained the Eight Extraordinary Skills during the Jia Shen Rebellion, Qu Tong is the most likely candidate."
As the manager of the largest intelligence network in the circle, Mu You was very clear about the entire world of supernatural beings. After eliminating one by one, he naturally locked onto Naqu Tong.
Zhang Zhiwei nodded, and without engaging in further small talk, hung up the phone and then spoke.
"Hmm, not bad. Based on Xiao Muyou's words and your information, Brother Chen, I can now conclude that my disciple's matter is most likely related to Qu Tong. When should we make our move?"
Chen Feng let out a soft breath, a ripple flashing in his eyes: "There's no time to lose. Let's get ready now and head towards Yaoxing Society. If all goes well, we should arrive by tomorrow morning, and then we can take action."
This time, he had already made up his mind: he and Zhang Zhiwei would directly storm Yaoxing Society, giving them no chance.
After thinking it over carefully, Zhang Zhiwei rubbed his forehead: "What if we don't find any concrete clues after taking action? How do we explain that to the company?"
Good heavens, a Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain and a Sect Leader from the Tang Clan joined forces to destroy a major power, and without any evidence at all. This is a bit too much to believe.
As the leader of the Zhengyi sect and the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Zhiwei had many things to consider. After all, he was the leader of a Taoist sect with a long-standing tradition, and he still had to adhere to certain principles.
Chen Feng chuckled lightly, a hint of sternness appearing on his face: "Evidence? What we say is evidence. If we say he is guilty, then he is guilty. Besides, Zhao Huanjin's matter came first. As long as we find a suitable reason, silencing the major powers shouldn't be a problem."
"Moreover, there's no need to worry about the company. Zhao Fangxu is a smart man and knows that we won't kill without reason. Plus, with our respective status and position, it will be easy to suppress this matter."
After discussing a few more details, the matter was finally settled.
Without further delay, the two left the main hall to handle some trivial matters and then quietly walked together towards the location of the Shining Star Society.
No matter how deep Qu Tong's thoughts were, she never imagined that she would attract the attention of Chen Feng and Zhang Zhiwei, two of the most powerful figures in the world of supernatural beings.
…………
The headquarters of Shining Star Society.
Qu Tong, with her pink hair, walked along the main road to the office building, her blue dress highlighting her curvaceous figure.
A bald, middle-aged man strode quickly from afar, his face composed; he was none other than Tao Shan Gong, Qu Tong's capable lieutenant.
One-handed Vajra Armor is already considered quite good, and with various magical artifacts and the modification of Qu Tong's mindset, his strength is even more remarkable.
In the comics, he leads a team to Nathan Island to bring back Ruan Shiqi.
However, his expression was rather grim at the moment: "President, something's happened. The people we sent to Nathan Island to meet Wang Jingui haven't returned. It seems they were taken care of by those Nathan Guards."
"Even Wang Jingui is nowhere to be found; we have no idea what the current situation is."
Upon hearing this, Qu Tong raised an eyebrow slightly, showing no surprise, and simply nodded. "Alright, I already know about this matter. It seems that it was the right decision not to send him over back then, otherwise we might have lost another capable person. That's all for now. You'll have to put in more effort from now on, as things haven't been very peaceful in the world of supernatural beings lately."
For some reason, she's been feeling uneasy lately.
Tao Shangong nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, boss. There are so many skilled guards here, there won't be any problems."
"Furthermore, with the company in charge now, those top experts don't dare to cause trouble easily. Even the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain and the head of the Tang Clan have to be careful."
It should be noted that the Yaoxing Society has many skilled individuals behind the scenes, and their methods are complex, with numerous magical artifacts and various insidious means. Apart from the top experts, they are not afraid of the rest at all.
Seeing this, Qu Tong said no more and walked straight toward the office building.
Tao Shangong said no more and followed, taking on the role of a bodyguard.
The two entered the elevator, just as the elevator doors were about to close.
Suddenly, whoosh!!!
A gust of wind blew by, and thick black smoke was seen blowing in from outside, entering the elevator.
The next moment, a slender figure slowly materialized from the black smoke, with sparse hair but an inexplicable air of majesty.
It was Zhou Sheng.
However, Zhou Sheng's face was full of gloom at this moment. Without saying a word, he immediately started to fight.
Black smoke billowed inside the elevator, transforming into a thick rope that quickly bound Qu Tong from behind.
Upon seeing this, Tao Shan was stunned for a moment. He quickly stepped in front of Qu Tong without hesitation, and with a wave of his arm, he channeled his inner energy and struck directly at Zhou Sheng.
boom! ! !
A golden aura flowed across his arm, bringing immense power that tore through space.
"Humph!!!"
A cold snort rang out, and a blue Qimen formation unfolded beneath Zhou Sheng's feet.
The next moment, the spell was activated.
The clappers clanged!
Immediately, Tao Shangong, who had just approached, stopped and remained motionless.
This is the Qimen Dunjia technique that does not conform to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.
This technique has always been used in conjunction with another technique, namely the tortoise-fly body technique.
This technique is not just about speed; it strengthens various bodily functions by burning the body's life force, resulting in a significant boost to muscles, bones, and internal organs.
The next moment, Zhou Sheng suddenly unleashed his power. He swung his left hand, and the Qi within his body ignited. With a powerful slap, he sent Tao Shangong flying.
Bang!!! Snap!!!
With a single blow, Tao Shangong's protective magic artifact shattered, and he flew out of the opened elevator door, crashing heavily into the wall.
He spat out a mouthful of blood; if it had been that protective magic artifact, he would probably have died long ago.
The expert of the Vajra Armor looked on in shock and horror as he stared at Zhou Sheng.
"I've seen many skilled fighters like the Vajra of the Tongbi, and you're not bad, but you're not qualified to fight me."
Zhou Sheng glanced at him, then casually waved his hand and pressed the elevator button.
Just as Tao Shangong was struggling to move forward, Qu Tong, who was bound by black smoke, spoke.
"Alright, the old gentleman means me no harm. You don't need to come along. Keep the others calm. I want to have a proper talk with this old gentleman."
Upon hearing this, Tao Shangong hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. At the same time, he reached out to stop some of the Yaoxing Society's experts who had come upon hearing the commotion.
Under their watchful eyes, Qu Tong and Zhou Sheng took the elevator to the top of the building.
Even though she was bound by black smoke inside the elevator, Qu Tong remained calm and showed no fear.
"You should have finished dealing with your business by now. I heard from my men that you should have taken Seventeenth Master away. After some investigation, I discovered that the former Master Chen seems to be collecting the Eight Extraordinary Techniques as well. You should keep that in mind."
"Hmph, you're too late. If I'm not mistaken, that person should have already gathered all eight extraordinary skills by now."
Although his face was gloomy, Zhou Sheng did not intend to kill Qu Tong directly, or more accurately, he was undecided about whether to kill her.
Upon hearing Zhou Sheng's words, Qu Tong raised an eyebrow slightly, but her expression did not change much.
"Yes, I've been paying attention to that Master Chen for a while now. Unlike the Celestial Master, he's not as stable and doesn't care about anything when he does things. Plus, with the Tang Clan members in the company, it's safe to say that there's nothing he can't do now."
"I am somewhat aware of your purpose in coming here today. I presume it is because of the recent conflict between Longhu Mountain and Tang Clan? That's right, to tell you the truth, I am the one who initiated the scheme."
"However, that Taoist priest Zhao's methods are indeed much stronger. In order to act silently, I used a lot of hidden agents, and even risked being exposed by having someone from the company take action. I also paid a heavy price."
Hearing the person in front of him confirm it, Zhou Sheng's face became even more gloomy, and he cursed angrily: "You bastard, I should have killed you the first time I met you, so as to save all this trouble."
These younger generations are so restless. Why can't they just live a peaceful and stable life? Why do they have to create this kind of trouble? Do they want to stir up chaos?
After settling his seventeenth brother in, he heard about the recent major events and immediately had a guess in his mind, so he rushed to the Yaoxing Society.
At this moment, his tone had become murderous.
However, Qu Tong remained calm, and instead smiled, saying, "You can kill me anytime you want, I have nothing to say."
Faced with these remarks, Zhou Sheng seemed to have some reservations. He cursed again, then waved his hand and put away the black smoke.
The elevator had arrived by then.
Zhou Sheng's cold voice rang out again.
"From now on, I, the old monkey, will be watching you closely. If you cross the line again, rest assured I will kill you without hesitation..."
