Chapter 111 The Number One Person in Leizhou

“Young Master Yan, are we just going to let him go like this? This kid’s biological mother might be the White Lotus Celestial Maiden. Just based on that, he can’t escape suspicion. Not to mention himself, the entire Environmental Protection Bureau will investigate thoroughly, and no one can stop him.”

After turning around and leaving, the group of clan management inspectors were all puzzled.

Giving up so easily is not in this young master's style.

Previously, at the Huo family, it was because of that person that he was in charge. In the entire Leizhou, there was only one person that Young Master Yan could be wary of.

That environmental protection bureau chief isn't qualified.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly: "Chi Hu, what do you think we can do with him now? If that woman really cared about this son, she would have shown up long ago."

"Since he can't lure that woman out, he has no value to her, and naturally, he has no value to us either."

The one called Red Tiger asked in confusion, "But..."

Xiao Yan was the one who was going to take the person away just now, but now he's saying it's worthless?
"I was just testing the waters."

"Testing? Young Master Yan, stop playing games and just tell us!"

Xiao Yan slowed his pace slightly and looked back.

"Do you know who that kid is?"

Chi Hu and the others exchanged glances and said, "Who is he? We've already investigated him. He's just a lowly clerk from the Environmental Protection Bureau."

"Speaking of which, the Leizhou Environmental Protection Bureau is really something else. Someone from the slums can get into their office. It's ridiculous."

The inspectors scoffed.

The people in the clan management office were either scions of prominent families or members of large clans.

Such a thing would never happen in a religious affairs office.

Xiao Yan asked, "So what do you think of Dai Yang's attitude towards him?"

Red Demon scoffed, "He's acting like it's his own son, so incredibly nervous."

Xiao Yan laughed and said, "Why would a bureau chief be so nervous about an ordinary clerk from a humble background?"

Everyone was stunned.

Red Ghost clapped his hands and said, "That's right! According to the information we found, Dai Yang is the kind of person who won't do anything without a profit. Why would he be so nervous about a mere clerk for no reason?"

"Could he really be his illegitimate child?"

Xiao Yan neither confirmed nor denied his subordinates' speculations.

The conclusion is given directly: "That deity is related to him."

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Young Master Yan, you mean that the deity was created by that kid? How is that possible?! Where would he get such great abilities!"

Xiao Yan said, "I don't know where this deity came from, but it must be related to him."

"Oh, I see. Just now, Young Master Yan was trying to force them to make a move. With their numbers, there's no way they could fight us."

"If that deity truly belongs to the Environmental Protection Bureau, then we could very well catch the thief red-handed on the spot!"

"No wonder. Even if they can't control the gods, or even just communicate with them and make them work for them, this person is worth protecting."

Red Demon said in frustration, "Young Master Yan, why did you let us leave? If we had really fought, we could have forced them to summon the gods!"

If they could take down a municipal environmental protection bureau, they could make a name for themselves in the land management office.

Xiao Yan said, "Knowing the result is enough. Now is not the time to turn against each other."

"Right now, capturing the remnants of the White Lotus Society is the most urgent task."

"As for the Environmental Protection Bureau, you two can stay and keep an eye on things for now."

"Yes, Young Master Yan!"

……

Leizu Temple.

Environmental Protection Bureau.

"Phew! It's finally over!"

Inside the office, sanitation workers were either sitting or slumped over; chairs, tables, and even the floor were covered with people.

"These lunatics actually dared to make such a commotion."

"Luckily, Old Fan was here, otherwise I would have lost my life tonight."

Everyone was still shaken.

No one expected that the infamous Corpse Buddha Craftsman of the White Lotus Society, a wanted criminal throughout the Federation, would actually appear in Leizhou.

"It's not just Old Fan; if it weren't for Xie Lingxin today, we don't know how many of our brothers would have died."

Chu He walked in.

Upon hearing this, everyone sat up straight.

"what happened?"

Chu He laughed and said, "Didn't any of you notice? The dog next to him?"

"dog?"

The sanitation workers recalled that there seemed to be a dog.

"Boss, are you talking about that weird dog with a big white head, a black body, and a fat rump?"

Chu He pointed at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Gods cannot be blasphemed."

But as he talked, he couldn't help but laugh.

"God?"

Everyone was startled, and then they realized what was happening.

"So, that strange dog and the winged tiger that dealt with the giant skeletal Buddha really do look alike; they both have white heads and black bodies, but..."

"You all know the difference between the physical body and the divine body."

"Oh, I see. That explains why Director Dai is so worried about this kid and wants us to get him out at all costs!"

"Who's saving whom here? If it weren't for that deity, I'd be dead."

"Tsk, I thought it was Director Dai's illegitimate child. I've already decided to use this to blackmail Director Dai. If he doesn't give me the opportunity to train in the Domain Realm, I'll report him!"

As everyone was chatting and laughing, they suddenly felt a chill.

When I looked back, I was immediately startled.

"Holy crap!" Xie Lingxin was sitting on the ground, her eyes vacant, staring blankly at them.

Beside them was that strange dog with a white head, a black body, and a fat rear end. Its front paws were on the ground, its mouth wide open, its teeth bared, and it was growling at them in a low voice.

"Ah ha ha!"

"Hey, what were we talking about? Oh right, is your injury alright? I just saw you get bitten on the butt by a skeleton!"

"Oh right, that's why it hurts so much. Let me see, is it bleeding?"

"All corpse demons have corpse poison, you need to suck it out for him quickly!"

"Fuck off!"

"..."

A group of people ridiculously evaded the question.

Xie Lingxin was speechless: "Ah Gou, now I know why you're so brain-dead."

Shen asked, "...You're the one who's brain-dead!"

He felt ashamed to have such a group of friends.

"Xie Lingxin, thank you so much this time."

The one named Chu He walked over.

Shen Wen casually introduced, "Chu He, captain of the seventh team of the Atmospheric Science Department, and Xie Lingxin, I don't need to say anything, right?"

Chu He laughed and said, "No need, I'm very famous."

Xie Lingxin waved her hand: "I also have to thank you."

Although they couldn't help him when the ghouls attacked, they did risk their lives to break in.

Moreover, they witnessed the scene when the clan management office came to arrest them and they protected them without hesitation.

This group of people... is quite interesting.

Although everyone knew about Wangcai's existence, no one asked him a single question.

This is a "contraband".

"Alright, enough with the thanks. We're all brothers, no need for further thanks."

Chu He sat down to the side and said, "Everyone should get some rest. If nothing unexpected happens, things will be over by dawn."

"Once they capture the Nine Mountain King within the Realm, the White Lotus Society won't be able to cause any more trouble,"

"However, we'll probably be busy afterward. These rats are masters of hiding, and it won't be easy to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Captain Chu, do you know what the situation is like inside the domain right now?"

Xie Lingxin asked curiously.

He has already left the realm and is unable to communicate with the people in the training group.

"Just call me Lao Chu."

Chu He casually replied, "I only overheard it when I was with Director Dai."

"That thousand-year-old snake demon is indeed powerful; even with so many experts surrounding it, they almost couldn't defeat it."

"This thing's supernatural power is truly too great. Even a titled martial artist and a master of the mind cannot withstand its terrifying roar."

"We sent eight titled warriors from Leizhou, one after another, using every trick in the book and displaying their unique abilities, but they were all injured by its roar. While they were still delirious, it swallowed them one by one."

"Its belly is also incredibly powerful; I've heard it can hold rivers and mountains. If someone gets inside, they'll start festering and bleeding within a short time. It's extremely potent."

"Fortunately, our bureau found a treasure left behind by a master, which is just a box. Wow!"

He became excited as he spoke: "The moment the box was opened, a rainbow shot across the sky, transforming into a giant dragon!"

"He immediately bit the Nine Mountain King in two!"

"Before anyone could react, the dragon had vanished, and when they looked again, there was no dragon to be found."

"It was just a sword light that circled in the air and cut the Nine Mountain King Dragon in two, breaking its supernatural power, which allowed the eight titled individuals to be rescued in time."

"It was at this time that the White Lotus Society's rats appeared. Actually, we had been on guard for a while, but no one expected it,"

"Among those titled individuals, there are members of the White Lotus Society. I wonder if they were already infiltrated or were turned,"

"When a titled expert betrays us, especially when everyone is at their weakest, it's not impossible to withstand the betrayal, but it's also impossible to handle everything perfectly."

"The White Lotus Society wants to seize the Spirit Pearl dropped by the Nine Mountain King, which contains the soul of a thousand-year-old snake demon and is extremely precious,"

"If it weren't for the timely intervention of the Chen clan leader, Chen Yuntao, who could move mountains and split the earth with every gesture, he truly deserves the title of the number one person in Leizhou!"

"The moment he made his move, the White Lotus Society was immediately terrified and fled."

"Now, it's probably just the final battle of clearing out the remaining enemies."

Chu He paused to catch his breath, then continued, "Actually, all of this was expected."

"What bitter battle, what negligence—while true, it was intentionally allowed to continue, all to lure out the White Lotus Society,"

"Because before this, the Chen clan leader had already approached the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He possessed a great deal of information about the White Lotus Society and, together with the Municipal Public Security Bureau, set up a trap,"

"The whole thing is to wipe out the White Lotus Society. This Corpse Buddha Craftsman might also be involved. I don't know the specifics, but that's roughly it."

Everyone listened intently.

Someone angrily exclaimed, "What a grand scheme! The entire Tonggu Bay was almost razed to the ground tonight, and it turned out to be a setup?"

"I suppose our lives are just used as bait!"

Chu He quickly said, "Don't look at me, I just overheard it from Director Dai, so I only found out a few minutes earlier than you guys."

Shen Wen sighed, "No matter what, Chen Yuntao will probably become a hero after this battle."

Chu He said, "More than just a hero! He used to be a strong contender for the title of number one in Leizhou, but from now on, he'll probably be confirmed as it!"

Just as Shen Wen was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that someone was a little quiet.

He turned around and saw: "Xie Lingxin, what are you doing?"

Xie Lingxin seemed not to be listening to anyone's boasting at all. Instead, she sat there gesturing with her hands.

"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking... Ah Gou, what do you think of that corpse-mage from earlier..."

He stretched out his hand and made a few grabbing motions, gesturing, "That palm strike that made you fall face down on the ground like a dog, what's that called, the Palm of Buddha Kingdom, how did you do that?"

Shen Wen: "..."

Are you out of your mind?!
