Zheng Yunhua composed himself, staring earnestly at Ling Feng with a solemn expression, and said:

"Advisor Ling, I hope you will lead the team on this trip to Guangnan Province!"

Whether this is a trap or not, the vampires must have made thorough preparations.

"In our Special Affairs Bureau, only you can shoulder this important responsibility right now."

"Director Zheng!" Ling Feng straightened his back slightly and looked directly at Zheng Yunhua.

"You asked me to lead the team to Guangnan, no problem, but I've always had a question in my mind."

Our Shenzhou Special Affairs Bureau has five branch bureaus and one headquarters, with a total of seven SS-level experts.

Ling Feng stood up and gestured the number seven towards him:

"But to this day, I haven't met a single one of them. Why don't I inform them about this?"

Furthermore, regarding the Wei family's flying zombie incident, they were still nowhere to be seen.

I'm not an outsider now, am I? I just want to know what's going on.

Ling Feng's question instantly silenced the atmosphere in the conference room.

All eyes immediately turned to Zheng Yunhua.

However, Zheng Yunhua's expression was not as embarrassed or heavy as Ling Feng had expected.

Instead, it was somewhat stiff and unnatural, like the awkwardness and embarrassment of someone who had done something wrong and been discovered.

His eyes darted away slightly, and he stammered:

"This...this...I...I haven't...never told you...before?"

"When did you tell me?"

Ling Feng frowned and unconsciously raised his voice a few decibels.

"Oh... well... I... hehe..." Zheng Yunhua chuckled dryly, forcing a response:

"I guess... I've been so busy, I just forgot!"

Ling Feng crossed his arms and watched his clumsy performance quietly, completely unimpressed.

"Can you tell me now?"

Faced with Ling Feng's intense gaze, Zheng Yunhua could only sigh heavily.

He then turned his head and waved to the others in the conference room:

"Everyone except Deputy Director Zhao... get out!"

"yes!"

When it comes to matters of secrecy, the Special Affairs Bureau maintains very strict discipline.

Everyone present responded in unison and then got up and left the conference room.

After the meeting room door was closed, only Ling Feng, Zheng Yunhua, and Zhao Hongshan remained inside.

Zheng Yunhua glanced at Zhao Hongshan sideways and slowly said:

"Old Zhao, should you say it or should I say it?"

Zhao Hongshan rubbed his face vigorously and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to bother two people with this. You should speak first!"

Zheng Yunhua didn't mind, nodded slightly, and then turned to face Ling Feng:

"Ling Feng, this matter is top secret of the Special Affairs Bureau. Although you are an advisor to my Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau..."

Logically speaking... you don't have the authority to know these things for the time being.

But since your combat power is so extraordinary, I can only make an exception for you.

Zheng Yunhua took the spiritual nourishment from the conference table and distributed one to each person.

As three plumes of smoke rose into the air, his voice rang out again:

"There's something you're wrong about. Our Special Affairs Bureau's top combat strength isn't just seven SS-level experts."

There are eight in total; you didn't include the Director-General of our Special Affairs Bureau.

At this point, Zheng Yunhua couldn't help but chuckle softly:

"Isn't that surprising? And let me tell you a secret."

Our Director-General, Huo Zhennan, was already a peak SS-level expert thirty years ago.

As for his current strength? I have no idea!

Not only was I unaware, but almost no one in the entire Special Affairs Bureau knew about it.

Perhaps they are still SS-rank, or perhaps they have already broken through their limitations and become an SSS-rank powerhouse.

Ling Feng's eyes widened in astonishment, and he kept exclaiming in his heart, "Wow!"

The director of the Special Affairs Bureau was a powerful figure who was already a Celestial Master thirty years ago!

These people are really good at hiding! Indeed, the path of survival is a path too!

Without a doubt, he is now a powerful figure at the True Person level.

Who knows... he might even be a half-step True Monarch or a True Monarch-level expert!

At this moment, Ling Feng really felt like he was about to faint.

What is a True Lord? That is the strongest being below the level of immortals!

In ancient times, that person was practically a demigod!

As for what Zheng Yunhua meant by "perhaps still SS-level",

Ling Feng didn't believe a single word of it; it was utter nonsense!

If the Director-General really hasn't made a breakthrough in thirty years, what's the meaning behind Zheng Yunhua's barely suppressed smile?

At that moment, his somewhat wavering mindset instantly calmed down considerably.

If even the Director-General is so low-key, how can he be high-profile? He should learn from his seniors!

Zheng Yunhua stood to the side, secretly observing Ling Feng's changing expressions the entire time.

Seeing him go from being completely shocked to calming down and then voluntarily putting away his sharp edge,

Only then did he secretly relax, contentedly concealing the smug look on his face.

As the smoke from the three men's cigarettes slowly dissipated, Zheng Yunhua continued to reveal the inside story:

The reason you don't see them is because they don't mingle in the mundane world.

You heard right, you won't see them even at headquarters, let alone the five major branches!

They each have their own missions, responsible for guarding the three major secret and dangerous areas of the Great Xia Dynasty in China.

"Three major secret realms and dangerous places?" Ling Feng murmured to himself, his mind wandering for a moment.

"Is even the Director-General guarding this secret realm?"

"That's right!" Zheng Yunhua nodded heavily, his face showing a solemn expression.

"The Director-General is responsible for guarding three major secret and dangerous locations."

The most terrifying and fiercely hostile place—the ancient battlefield of Changping!

Upon hearing the words "Changping Ancient Battlefield," Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Unable to resist blurting out, "Could this dangerous place be related to Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi?"

"Hmm!" Zheng Yunhua responded, his expression becoming more serious than ever before.

If you look closely, you can even see that his body is trembling slightly.

"Since you know the name of the ancient battlefield of Changping, then you should also know..."

After the Zhao state was defeated in the Battle of Changping, Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi, massacred 400,000 surrendered soldiers.

This astonishing number of battle spirits has been trapped in this region for thousands of years.

How terrifying must the secret realm be, given the endless resentment, hostility, and other negative energies it generates?

Zheng Yunhua took a deep drag on his cigarette, his fingers trembling slightly as if he had remembered something.

"To prevent any accidents from happening in this dangerous place, the Director-General has been stationed there ever since..."

It's been over twenty years now, and I've never left that place...
