Jiang Qin has always been very proactive in cracking down on cults.

This was also the last Class B mission he ever carried out.

If this mission can be successfully completed, he will be able to take on the task of guarding the town. Given the status of the Town Spirit Bureau in China, it is undoubtedly the highest law enforcement agency in the area, and even the military has to accept its control.

Early in the morning.

Because the mission city is some distance from Shanghai, Jiang Qin and his companion chose to travel by car, which would take about half a day to arrive if nothing unexpected happened.

It is a city near the border.

Wearing a tight-fitting outfit, Su Lingwei said while collecting data, "Black Soil City is close to the border and is occasionally harassed by ferocious beasts. In terms of both economy and population, it ranks at the bottom among the many cities in our country."

"Fengyue Group is the largest taxpayer in the area, and its main business is products such as 'Qiangshenye' (a type of health supplement)."

"The group was founded by Yang Zhenghua 70 years ago. Every year, it donates a lot of money to help local poor households and adopt war orphans. It has built more than 20 orphanages and nursing homes in Heitucheng alone, so it enjoys a high reputation in Heitucheng."

She looked up and asked in confusion, "Such a large corporation seems to have no motive to cooperate with the Pantheon."

Their mission this time is to investigate whether the Fengyue Group is involved with the Cult of Gods.

Jiang Qin's lips curled up slightly: "How could they not have a motive? They may not need money and power, but don't forget that the Cult of Gods can also help people forcibly improve their martial arts strength, and the price to be paid for this is people."

"And what the Fengyue Group has in abundance is people!"

He didn't believe the academy would joke about the Church of the Gods. Since they indicated that there was some connection, they must have some evidence, even if it wasn't enough to bring down the Fengyue Group. But that was enough.

Anyone associated with the Pantheon, no matter the reason... will be wiped out!

...

Half a day later, at Heitucheng Station.

More than twenty investigators from the Suppression Bureau lined up in two rows and waited quietly at the exit.

The roar of a train could be heard as a red train slowly pulled into the station and came to a steady stop beside the platform. The doors opened automatically, and passengers poured out in droves.

The two young men and women were the last to exit the train.

The lead investigator from the Suppression Bureau stepped forward; she was a woman with long black hair and looked to be no more than thirty years old.

"Hello, Investigator Jiang."

"I am Shen Ling, the acting head of the Heitu Town Spirit Bureau branch. On behalf of the Heitu Town Spirit Bureau, I welcome you!"

Acting head? Someone at the early stage of the Spirit Sea realm?

Jiang Qin nodded and pointed to Su Lingwei who was following behind him: "Hello, this is my assistant, Su Lingwei."

Su Lingwei and Shen Ling exchanged a glance and nodded, which was considered their greeting.

Then, Jiang Qin asked curiously, "Black Soil City is close to the frontier, so it should have at least a Divine Phase Realm martial artist stationed there. Why...?"

"That's how it was supposed to be," Shen Ling explained with a helpless expression. "However, several beast tides broke out on the border recently. Not only our Black Soil City, but also the heads of the Spirit Suppression Bureaus and most of the elite troops from several surrounding cities were all urgently dispatched to the border to guard against the beast tides."

Jiang Qin then looked enlightened, realizing that he had wondered how the person in charge of Black Soil City could only be a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator.

This explains why the local Spirit Suppression Bureau, due to staff being reassigned, couldn't do anything to the Fengyue Group even if they had some evidence, so they issued a mission, which he eventually took over.

The group walked towards the exit of the station.

Jiang Qin went straight to the point: "Do you have evidence that the Fengyue Group is colluding with the Cult of Gods?"

Shen Ling nodded and said seriously, "We discovered their deal with the Cult of Gods some time ago. After losing more than a dozen people, we successfully captured a member of the Yang family. He confessed everything under severe torture."

Evidence is all that matters; only with evidence can he take action.

Jiang Qin then asked, "What about the personnel of the Fengyue Group? For example, how many martial artists does it have, and what is the strongest one's realm? There shouldn't be any Divine Manifestation Realm cultivators, right?"

"Of course," Shen Ling replied quickly, as if reciting a familiar story. If there really was a Divine Manifestation Realm expert, then this mission would be more than just a B-level mission.

"The security department of Fengyue Group is composed entirely of martial artists, numbering as many as a hundred. However, most of them are at the Mortal Realm, with only a very few at the Spirit Guiding Realm. They pose no threat to us. The real threat comes from Yang Hao's bodyguard team, which consists of thirteen people, each of whom is at least at the Spirit Sea Realm."

Yang Hao is the current head of the Fengyue Group and the patriarch of the Yang family.

Although martial artists are supreme in this world, they are still divided into levels.

It's not difficult to hire martial artists at the Spirit Sea Realm if you're willing to spend a little more money. After all, martial artists also need cultivation resources, and not everyone has a wealthy family background.

The vehicles used by the Lingju Bureau in Heitu Town are military off-road vehicles, which are known for their durability, powerful performance, and affordability.

From the moment Jiang Qin accepted the mission, he was the highest-ranking leader of the mission, so Shen Ling asked as soon as she got into the car:

"Investigator Jiang, what should we do next? You're new here and have had a long journey. Why don't we find a place to eat and rest first, and then come up with a detailed plan before we start?"

"Hmm, the car ride was a bit tiring, so let's have a simple meal at Fengyue Group."

"Okay... um? To... Fengyue Group?"

Under Shen Ling's shocked gaze, Jiang Qin casually waved his hand: "Yeah, go to Fengyue Group, give their boss a call, and make preparations to welcome him."

plan?

He never needs that thing; his style is to just push through and conquer.

Su Lingwei, sitting in the back seat, said earnestly, "Remember to have them prepare some desserts and beast legs. I want the most expensive ones, nothing cheap."

Shen Ling's lips twitched. Goodness, if you didn't know better, you'd think you were here to fleece a bunch of dog-eat-dog tycoons.

However, she still made the arrangements honestly. These two were investigators from the academy, and they might have some trump cards. In any case, even if they made a move in the end, getting away shouldn't be a big problem.

One after another, Zhenling Bureau's special vehicles drove away from the station, heading straight for Fengyue Group.

A shadowy figure peeked out from the corner and relayed the message.

...

Fengyue Building is located in the heart of Heitu City. The towering building is one of the city's iconic landmarks.

In an office on the top floor.

"I understand. The finance department will transfer the bonus to you later."

Yang Hao hung up the phone, a cold glint in his eyes, and pressed the button under his desk.

Soon, the assistant came in.

"Chairman Yang, you wanted to see me."

"Yes, the people from the Zhenling Bureau are on their way here. They don't seem to have any good intentions. Tell Wang Xingshan to go and hold them off. I don't care what methods he uses, he has to at least hold them off for a day! We've been raising him for so long, he should do something about it."

"At least... he is the deputy mayor of Black Soil City."

"Understood."

The assistant went out.

Yang Hao leaned back in his chair, no longer paying attention to the matter.

The Zhenling Academy really underestimated the Yang family, only sending a greenhorn and a student at the Spirit Guiding Realm. Since that's the case, let him teach these people a lesson!
