"Dad, mom, it really isn't what you think!"
Wang Siyu's house in Jinyintan Village.
Wang Siyu was pressed down on the sofa by her parents once she returned. After a series of questions, Wang Siyu could only smile begrudgingly. "Jiang He and I are definitely partners … moreover, Jiang He might not even take a liking to me!"
"What?"
Chief Wang slammed the table and rose to his feet, barking, "How dare he?"
He was losing a lot of hair, and his bald spot glowed under the lamplight. "My daughter has both character and looks. What else does Jiang He have apart from being a little handsome?"
"Jiang He is a B-class beast-tamer and a rank-four martial artist who cultivated True Qi."
Wang Siyu said seriously. "Dad, mom, the world has changed. In the future, the strong will be the truth."
She tried her best to educate her parents about the revival of spiritual energy and said, "I didn't tell you before because the organization has confidentiality rules, but now … this matter may not be able to be suppressed, but don't spread it for the time being, lest it causes unnecessary panic."
Chief Wang's expression changed a few times, and he suddenly said, "No wonder the resettlement building in the suburbs has not been completed yet, but they have already started implementing the policy to relocate the immigrants. According to what you said, this is to centralize the population and make it easier for management and protection."
"Yes."
Wang Siyu had also thought about this matter deeply. She said, "The revival of spiritual energy has affected remote mountainous areas, places near mountains, scenic spots, and coastal areas the most. Therefore, the relevant departments have already begun planning as early as ten years ago."
The topic was a little heavy.
Seeing that her parents were left stunned by the Revival of Qi and stopped talking about Jiang He, Wang Siyu promptly changed the topic and asked with a smile, "By the way, I heard that my brother is coming back the day after tomorrow?"
That was when Wang Siyu's phone rang.
Her face dropped when she saw the caller ID, and she quickly answered, "What is it, captain Duan?"
The one who called her was Duan Tianhe, captain of the Special Affairs Bureau's special forces team stationed in Western Xia.
"Where are you, Wang Siyu?"
"Tell Jiang He to be careful!"
"I've just received word that the Sky Demon Cult is up to something big this time, even sending a Heavenly General to infiltrate Lingzhou. Jiang He had aided our special forces to foil their plans, and now, the Sky Demon Cult wants to deal with him!"
"According to what I know, a rank-four pinnacle martial artist is out to kill Jiang He."
"What?"
Wang Siyu rose to her feet with a whoosh, while Duan Tianhe said over the phone, "I've returned from Mount Dadong and will arrive in around forty minutes. It's fine if the Sky Demon Cult doesn't make a move, but if they do, your village would be in trouble as well. Contact Li Fei at once and have him keep an eye on the village, and inform me at once if there's even the slightest sign of trouble."
The call ended.
Wang Siyu felt her head buzzing.
At the end of the day, she was just a little girl who had just awakened her superpowers. It was only natural for her to panic when she ran into something like this.
However, Wang Siyu quickly calmed down.
"Dad, tell the villagers to stay at home and not go out!"
Chief Wang, who had been beside her when she took the call, couldn't help asking, "What Sky Demon Cult … what's going on? Can't Jiang He handle it? "
"I can't!"
"Jiang He has only reached rank-four today, but the Sky Demon Cult has sent a rank-four pinnacle martial artist. The gap is too great!"
"I just hope that Party Leader Duan could get here in time. Otherwise, if the Sky Demon Cult makes a move, Jiang He wouldn't be the only one to suffer — many in our village would die too!" Wang Siyu ran outside.
She had awakened mind-reading, but she had tried cultivating it recently. Though she had yet to reach the level of a Quasi Martial Artist, her physique was much stronger than the average person.
Soon …
She arrived at Jiang He's house.
Jiang He's front door was open, but there was no one inside.
Whipping out her phone, Wang Siyu was about to call Jiang He when a dull thud echoed from the east.
Wang Siyu turned to find a dazzling fiery light shooting into the skies from the east of the village, instantly brightening the night sky considerably. At the same time, many villagers were startled and all rushed out of their houses.
Some of them were even curious and prepared to head to the east of the village for a look.
That was when the village broadcast rang.
"Emergency! Emergency! All villagers are to return home at once. Do not go out …"
Wang Siyu's eyes twinkled, worry rising in her heart!
"A bomb!"
"The Sky Demon Cult has made a move!"
Her heart skipped a beat. She dialed Jiang He's number, but no one answered even after it rang for a long time.
Gritting her teeth, she was about to check out the situation when Jiang He's call reached her. She quickly answered, only to hear curses from the other end. But before Jiang He could say anything, Wang Siyu quickly asked, "Where are you, Jiang He?"
"Hurry home. The Sky Demon Cult has sent a rank-four pinnacle martial artist after you!"
"Eh?"
East of the village, beside the cornfield that was blown up.
Jiang He was crouching beside Corban's corpse, exclaiming in surprise, "Rank-four pinnacle?"
He then turned towards the corpse on the ground.
Jiang He complained, "Are you kidding me? How could a dwarf like him cultivate up to rank-four pinnacle? Still, he was quite weak in a fight. And here I thought he was rank-four novice. "
"Eh …"
Jiang He took out a porcelain bottle from Corban's corpse.
The surface of the bottle was covered in dense cracks.
Although the move "Arrogant Dragon Shows Remorse" did not hit the porcelain bottle, the force released had shattered the porcelain bottle.
Jiang He opened the bottle to find three medicinal pellets that were similar in color to red dates.
There was also a secret bladesmanship manual, but it had been shattered by the Mighty Dragon Shows Remorse.
"Cash … no … cards? None … "
Jiang He searched around before complaining, "Are all the Sky Demon Cult paupers? Don't even rank-four pinnacle martial artists carry any money on them? Sure enough, the novels are all lies. Killing an enemy and easily earning a few million is all fake! "
"What?
What did you say? "
Then, a series of static sounds could be heard from the phone, and Wang Siyu subconsciously moved the phone a little further away. She had vaguely heard Jiang He say something about being short and weak, but she did not hear it clearly.
"What did you say, Jiang He? I can't hear you clearly. Where are you now?"
"This blade is not bad, but the crescent blade … doesn't suit me. I prefer the Dragon-Slaying Saber or the Snow-Guzzle Saber's imposing and domineering style."
East of the village.
Jiang He picked up the scimitar and weighed it a few times, exclaiming in surprise when he heard Wang Siyu's words, "I heard you clearly … could the explosion just now have broken my phone's microphone?"
