Tang Zheng's face was expressionless, but his heart was moved. Xu Yingtian's words were not without reason.
Xing Feng was only a puppet. If they killed him, the people behind him could push out others. It would be an endless stream, and Tang Zheng would be exhausted.
Moreover, the country would not remain indifferent to assassinate an official of Xing Feng's level. That was because it was a challenge to the country's prestige.
Just how powerful was the strength of the State of Qi, Tang Zheng did not want to test it out.
"Could it be that only he can kill me, but I can't do anything to him?" Tang Zheng asked indignantly.
Xu Yingtian's lips curled. He knew that he had finally convinced Tang Zheng. He continued, "Of course not. We have to set our sights further. What we are dealing with is not just Xing Feng, but the people behind him. As long as we completely topple his backer, he will be like a snake without its fangs pulled out. He will not be much of a threat. At that time, no matter how you deal with him, no one will say anything."
Tang Zheng looked at Xu Yingtian with a burning gaze. "Are you trying to clear things up for him?"
"Haha, I, Xu Yingtian, am not that bored. I am doing this for you, not for him. An outstanding young man like you will not make such a grave mistake because of Xing Feng and ruin your future." Xu Yingtian said sincerely.
▲,
"Oh, so kind?" Tang Zheng was not a three year old child. He would not believe just anyone's words, even if they had worked together before.
"Haha, why is it so hard to do a little good in this world?" Xu Yingtian said with a bitter smile.
"Fine, I can temporarily not kill him, but you have to promise that he will not come looking for trouble with me. I do not want my family to be in danger at all times."
"This …" Xu Yingtian hesitated.
"If you don't agree, then there is no need for us to talk." Tang Zheng was not going to be polite with him.
"Alright, I promise you. I'll go find Xing Feng. Even if I have to give up my reputation, I'll make you guys stop fighting for the time being." Xu Yingtian gritted his teeth and agreed.
Tang Zheng nodded his head in satisfaction. Although he couldn't completely get rid of Xing Feng, he could at least maintain peace for the time being. He had to focus on developing his business empire.
Only when he expanded his influence, whether it was Xing Feng or any other government officials in the future, they would not dare to act rashly.
This was one of his greatest trump cards.
Of course, he still had to work hard to cultivate and quickly increase his cultivation. When a person's martial strength reached a certain level, it was enough to make the enemy hesitate.
"Tang Zheng, in truth, if you join the National Security Bureau and obtain an official identity, this is the biggest protective talisman. Whether it is for public or private reasons, there are many benefits." Xu Yingtian suggested.
Tang Zheng refused without hesitation. "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm used to being lazy. I don't like it when others control me. Otherwise, it'll be counterproductive."
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen a pig run.
Tang Zheng naturally understood that there were benefits to gaining an official status, but there were more restrictions and restrictions. After all, he was a cultivator. How could he be willing to be restricted by the government?
Xu Yingtian's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment. "The National Security Agency's door has always been open for you. Whenever you want to join, I'll welcome you with open arms."
Pausing for a moment, Xu Yingtian's expression became serious. "Tang Zheng, you know better than me what happened in the base in the desert. So I want to know what's going on with that towering tree."
"Your science is so advanced. Could it be that you can't detect it?" Tang Zheng asked back.
Xu Yingtian helplessly shook his head. "Science can't solve all problems. You're a cultivator so you should understand this point. Moreover, you've auctioned off so many Life Continuing Pills. This kind of heaven-defying thing, can science explain it? "
Tang Zheng admitted that what he said wasn't wrong. But his words reminded him of another important question.
"How exactly do you government officials view cultivators?"
Xu Yingtian seemed to have already expected him to ask this question. Without thinking, he said: "Now is not the ancient era. Science and technology is developing and its power cannot be underestimated. Although cultivators have many mysterious things, they are not natural enemies of the country. They cannot control the life and death of anyone."
Tang Zheng softly laughed. "It seems like you martial artists have a much more optimistic attitude."
"That's natural. The majority of martial artists have a very narrow vision. They only look at their own little piece of land and don't think about the big picture." Xu Yingtian happily said.
"Oh, what big picture?"
"The situation of the world. Let me ask you a question first. Why was China the best developed in ancient times? Why was it the center of the world? Why was it the golden age of all countries? "Xu Yingtian threw out a question that was similar to history.
Today's history teachers have also talked about this question many times. They believed that the western countries' science and technology developed faster and Hua Xia closed up the country. Because of this, they fell behind and were passively beaten.
But the answer Xu Yingtian wanted was definitely not this. Tang Zheng couldn't help but bitterly think about it. Hua Xia's decline began in the last dynasty. After the cultivators were expelled, Hua Xia gradually declined and was even bullied by the western countries.
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at Xu Yingtian. He bewilderedly said: "Could it be that all of this is related to the disappearance of cultivators?"
Xu Yingtian nodded his head in praise: "The younger generation will surpass us in time. Many people bitterly ponder over this question for several decades before they can understand it, but you can understand it with just a hint."
Tang Zheng still felt like he was shrouded in fog and said: "But I still don't understand what exactly is going on."
"It's very simple. Before the cultivators were expelled, they were the most powerful group in the world. Whether it was Hua Xia or the west, there was no one who could contend against the cultivators. And the cultivators are a unique product of our Hua Xia. They don't exist anywhere else."
"In addition, in ancient times, the west was a barren land. Normal people were not willing to set foot in it and their development was very slow. These barren people greatly respected Hua Xia, so they sent envoys from thousands of miles away to worship and learn from them. Many of Hua Xia's technologies were learned by them. "
"Ever since the disappearance of the cultivators, the western countries were no longer restrained by the cultivators, so they developed rapidly and uncontrollably. Their science and technology changed with each passing day, which was why the western powers bullied my Hua Xia, causing Hua Xia to suffer a history of humiliation that had never happened before."
Xu Yingtian sighed after he finished speaking, feeling extremely moved.
Perhaps Nu'erha never dreamed that the expulsion of the cultivators would leave behind such a huge problem, almost bringing Hua Xia into a situation of eternal damnation.
When Tang Zheng heard this, he was flabbergasted.
These words had a huge impact on him. He had always been worried that the cultivators would carry out inhumane revenge when they returned to this world, so he had always been hesitant about whether or not he should let them return to this world.
According to Xu Yingtian, weren't the cultivators the gospel of this world? With the cultivators, this country could once again soar and stand at the peak of the world?
"If the cultivators return to this world, wouldn't it be of great benefit to the country?" Tang Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"Logically speaking, that should be the case, but the world is changing. After all, after so many years, we can't figure out what the cultivators have become, so we have to be cautious about this matter. Moreover, the cultivators have already been expelled, how can they return to this world? "
"Didn't the Demon God come back from the Sky Beyond?" Tang Zheng reminded.
Xu Yingtian waved his hand, he did not take it to heart, and insisted: "That's just an example, it's impossible for cultivators to return on a large scale."
Tang Zheng understood that the Demon God could use the Mountain River Blood Sacrifice Array to summon the Demon Clan back, but the officials did not know about it, and Li Xiaotian did not tell the officials about it, otherwise, Xu Yingtian would not be so confident that the cultivators would not return on a large scale.
Tang Zheng thought about it, but did not tell the other party this news, because words were not proof, he could not determine the true attitude of the officials towards the cultivators just based on these words.
The officials were very cunning, what if Xu Yingtian was just throwing a smoke bomb, and did not have good intentions towards the cultivators?
They had to be careful.
"Actually, the martial artists are very powerful now, if there is a balance between the cultivators, it is actually good for the country." Xu Yingtian added.
"Cultivators and martial artists are like fire and water, I'm afraid there is no chance for them to get along peacefully." Tang Zheng said.
"It's better to have a balance when there is a struggle." Xu Yingtian did not care.
Tang Zheng understood, this was the official's favorite way to balance, letting the two forces fight each other, and he would benefit from it.
However, the officials miscalculated one thing, the cultivators were stronger than they thought, whether it was martial artists or their self-proclaimed powerful technology, they might not be a match for the cultivators.
Tang Zheng did not need to remind the other party, this would instead make them be on guard against the cultivators.
"Let's return to the main topic, what is going on with that big tree?" Xu Yingtian said.
"It is called the Tree of Life, it is said to be the origin of all living things, it can emit pure spiritual energy, improving the environment and air between heaven and earth." Tang Zheng paused for a moment, suddenly having a strange idea, he laughed involuntarily: "Maybe, the haze that shrouds everywhere will gradually dissipate under the influence of the Tree of Life."
Xu Yingtian was slightly startled, and seriously said: "Does it really have such a miraculous effect?"
"You must have seen the yellow sand under the Tree of Life, there is already green grass growing on it, this cannot be faked." Tang Zheng reminded.
Xu Yingtian sighed emotionally and said: "Let me tell you, these few days the grass is still spreading outwards, according to the experts, it will not be long before the boundless desert becomes a grassland, suitable for humans to live in."
Tang Zheng cried out in surprise and said: "Yi, it seems that the effect is better than I expected, so it really is not a lie to say that it will improve the air. Perhaps the Tree of Life will be able to solve the problems of the environmental protection department."
