Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 369 The Ink Dragon is About to Wake Up

On the other side of the ocean, similar discussions were also taking place in a conference room.

"Such radical actions and public exposure are absolutely inconsistent with Tianxia's consistent style of doing things."

The elderly man at the head of the group tapped the table and concluded, "From the Berkeley incident until now, although these extraordinary individuals have helped the other side of the ocean bring rain during the dry season, rescue people on passenger planes, and even go abroad to rescue people, they are still not in a superior-subordinate relationship."

"This Kabia incident was completely caused by an idiot trying to force Tianxia to submit by imprisoning workers, which in turn provoked a terrifying superhuman."

The host continued, "Judging from the drought-stricken areas, the Mengyuan mine disaster, the passenger plane malfunction, and the Xiyue incident a few days ago, they usually intervene to save lives."

"In other words, if that idiot Konat had been even slightly more perceptive, the people on the other side of the ocean might have had to swallow this bitter pill?" Lawrence chuckled.

"Probably so, at least Gaul will definitely gain some advantage." The leading elder nodded, shaking his head and chuckling.

Frank scoffed, "Incompetent Gauls, and the representatives they chose are equally incompetent, unable to handle such a simple matter on their own turf."

Lawrence glanced at Frank, chuckled, and said nothing.

"What do you mean?" Frank asked angrily.

"I didn't mean anything by it." Lawrence waved his hand dismissively.

But everyone present understood what Lawrence meant, because in recent decades, the spokespersons chosen by the United States have not been very good.

“Lawrence, you are now a Citizen,” the elder in the lead said in a deep voice.

“I know, Mr. Rockefeller.” Lawrence bowed slightly.

The elderly man at the head of the organization, Dylan Rockefeller, who was in charge of the secret agency in the United States concerning superhumans, said calmly after seeing Lawrence back down, "Is there any progress with your cousin?"

Lawrence lowered his head and said, "My cousin is an open book. She and Xiao Ya have hardly ever talked about the extraordinary, nor has she discovered any connection between Xiao Ya and Daoist Yi Hong. In other words, Daoist Yi Hong has never appeared."

Frank sneered, "So what exactly did your cousin do?"

Lawrence shrugged. "Make friends with Xiao Ya. I even met Xiao Ya's boyfriend. Things will gradually progress."

Frank raised an eyebrow and then asked, "Xiao Ya has a boyfriend?"

"What, you're thinking of starting with Xiao Ya's boyfriend?" Lawrence laughed. "Isn't that taking too many detours?"

Frank snorted and said nothing more.

“Forget it, the other side has already exposed a lot. Whether Xiao Ya’s line has made progress or not is not that important anymore.” Dylan shook his head. “At least we now know that those Taoists are not completely under the control of the system. They only appear when the lives of Tianxia citizens are in danger. For the time being, there is no sign of them participating in national disputes. This is good news for us.”

Lawrence laughed too, "Because we won't harm their civilians either."

Someone chimed in, "Aren't soldiers considered civilians? What if a localized hot war breaks out? Would they intervene?"

Everyone in the conference room looked at him, even Frank looked at him with a hint of disdain.

...On the other side, after killing Konat, Daoist Yansong returned to Yangcheng. While various countries were holding meetings to discuss the aftermath, he had been replaced by Daoist Mingyu and sent back to the other world to cultivate.

"Senior Brother Yansong is still too kind-hearted." Daoist Mingyu joked when he learned of this. "If I were to go, those who dared to shoot at me and participate in the siege of the factory area would have to be dragged into the dream illusion and made to suffer more."

“In this way, even if someone goes mad again in the future, the people below will not dare to follow them,” Master Mingyu said with a smile.

Gu Zhao scrolled through videos uploaded from the internet and laughed, "Your method isn't very effective. People who haven't experienced it before aren't afraid. If you really want to intimidate them, you'd have to gather Heavenly Warriors, ride the Five-Colored Thunderclouds, patrol the area, and occasionally unleash lightning to demonstrate your authority."

Master Mingyu clicked his tongue, "Forget it then, I have no interest in being a charlatan over there."

To be honest, in the eyes of these experienced people, the common people of the other world who speak Mandarin and look indistinguishable from the people of Tianxia are more approachable than the black and white people of Earth.

"How are Uncle Zhiqing and Uncle Zhixiu doing lately?" Gu Zhao asked.

Master Mingyu sighed and shook his head. "Zhiqing and Zhixiu call me 'Master Uncle,' and you call me 'Master Uncle' too, but you also call them 'Master Uncle.' This generational hierarchy is a bit messed up!"

Gu Zhao shrugged. "Back then, there wasn't a middle generation. Wasn't it just a matter of pronunciation?"

Master Mingyu was just saying it casually and didn't care, because different mountains and lineages of Taoism have their own rules. After all, if we really follow the generational naming system, Master Yansong is seven generations higher than Master Yihong, and Master Jinghong is six generations higher than Master Yansong.

"They're doing well together. Zhiqing cultivates the 'Heavenly Book Thunder Talisman' to destroy forms, while Zhixiu cultivates the 'Five Tones Breaking Illusion Secret Talisman' to slay gods. The two of them work together quite well."

Master Mingyu laughed and said, "They thought it was too inefficient in Changping Prefecture, so they went to Yongzhou. They traveled around Shide Prefecture and Heyan Prefecture. There are more demons and monsters there, and they haven't been cleared out yet."

The headquarters of the Daluo Palace was located in Changping Prefecture. Later, it successively conquered Baishi Prefecture and Qianshan Prefecture. In these three prefectures, the larger demons and monsters had long been cleared out. It's not that they didn't exist, but they were indeed relatively hard to find.

So, apart from getting familiar with the local area at the beginning of their descent, they all stepped out of their comfort zone after that.

The remaining prefectures in Jiangzhou, namely Lianshan Prefecture and Pingjiang Prefecture, as well as Shide Prefecture, Heyan Prefecture, and Yunqi Prefecture in Yongzhou, and Tianquan Prefecture and Qinglan Prefecture in Yazhou, are all their targets.

"That's good." Gu Zhao nodded.

Now that the Daluo Palace is growing larger and larger, everyone knows he's busy and doesn't bother him unless necessary, so he's unaware of the real-time progress of the experienced Taoists who joined later.

“They’re all better, but I’m not.” Master Mingyu picked up the purple clay teapot in the pavilion, which already had water boiled, and poured a cup of tea for himself and Gu Zhao. “I missed two days and didn’t make it to Africa.”

"You were the first person to make a move at Citibank, so what are you regretting?" Gu Zhao said speechlessly.

After drinking the hot tea in one gulp, Gu Zhao bid farewell to Daoist Mingyu and drove to the folk music troupe to pick up Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi, who were off work, so they could continue their time together.

But their time together was short-lived; he had to return to the other world.

Because both Daoist Jingchun and Daoist Yanqi had broken through five hundred years of cultivation, one of them condensed the Triple Daoist Divine Prison, and the other had refined the Five Elements Great Escape Technique.

At the same time, a strange change occurred at Mohu Lake in Pingjiang Prefecture, with ripples constantly spreading across its surface, similar to the previous sightings of the Molong emerging from its seclusion.

In other words, the Ink Dragon is about to awaken after just one year!
