"Xiaosu, where are you planning to go next?" Luo Lan asked as he sat by the campfire.
After Ren Xiaosu and the others came out of the Sacred Mountains, they did not split up immediately. Instead, they found a place to camp for another two days.
Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, Li Shentan, Si Liren, Zhou Yingxue, Qing Shen's clone, and the others got along better during this period. Everyone had caught some game in the wilderness, and the atmosphere at the campsite was very cheerful.
Everyone could tell Ren Xiaosu was in a bad mood. This could also be considered as him accompanying his friends to relieve some of his depression.
Everyone knew Ren Xiaosu was insistent on entering the Sacred Mountains for the No. 001 Experimental. Ren Xiaosu was also frank that he felt Yan Liuyuan might be the No. 001 Experimental, so he went there to look for Yan Liuyuan.
But now that everyone had basically been found, Yan Liuyuan was nowhere to be seen. How could Ren Xiaosu be happy about that?
Ren Xiaosu glanced at Luo Lan. "I'm going to make a trip to the Wang Clan. What about you? What are your plans?"
As he said that, Big Bluff came out of the forest from the west. "I just got some news from the black market. Something big has happened."
"What's the matter?" Ren Xiaosu asked in surprise.
"The Pyro Company and the Kong Clan have started a war. The Kong Clan has retreated from the front line of Mt. Dabaochi and are retreating to the rear." Big Bluff said, "The Kong Clan's armored troops at the front line have been reduced to scrap metal, and they have to wait for reinforcements from the rear to fight back. Some people even said that the Kong Clan originally had the Pyro Company's lifeline in their hands. But they suddenly lost control of it on the battlefield, catching the Kong Clan off guard. In any case, the Kong Clan suffered a great loss this time."
Luo Lan chuckled, "This is a good thing. Let's see if they still have the time to care about my Kyung Clan. The Kong Clan was quite foolish. The Pyro Company was as cunning as a monkey, so how could they possibly get a hold of their weakness? Do you know the details of that clone? "
"I know." Qing Shen nodded. He did not seem to mind Luo Lan calling him a clone. He calmly explained, "The Pyro Company started formulating this plan a long time ago. They planned to use the several hundred spies in the Wang Clan's territory as sacrifices to make the Kong Clan believe they could destroy the entire Pyro Company with an audio clip. But in reality, they had already laid the groundwork when they were genetically modifying the Kong Clan's territory. Only the spies in the Kong Clan's territory will be affected by the audio clip."
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Like the tarantula?"
Qing Shen said with a smile, "That's right. It looks like you've seen how the Pyro Company dealt with the tarantula."
Luo Lan said, "Since a war has broken out, I can't waste any more time in the North. While the Zhou Clan hasn't gotten involved yet, I'll have to have a chat with them and see if I can be of any help to the Kyung Clan."
"What do you mean by being of any help to the Kyung Clan?" Big Bluff asked.
"Oh, I mean to get those Central Plains people to fight amongst themselves." Luo Lan explained, "Of course, there's also something more important, which is to send this clone back to the Kyung Clan and let my younger brother decide whether he lives or dies."
When he mentioned this, Qing Shen just sat next to him with a smile as though it had nothing to do with him.
This was also what annoyed Luo Lan the most. This clone was as smart as his younger brother, but he was less humane than his younger brother.
Although Qing Zhen had long been labeled a cold-blooded butcher, everyone in the Kyung Clan knew that Qing Zhen was a very loyal person.
Meanwhile, this Qing Shen clone did not seem to have any extra feelings.
At the very least, Luo Lan did not notice any emotional fluctuations in him.
"What other information is there?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Also, White Mask has been proven to be your superpower. You can summon a puppet that can go head-on against a T5 combatant." Big Bluff said, "I heard that someone is preparing to rank all the supernatural beings. I believe you'll be ranked very high this time. However, they still don't know who you are."
Actually, Big Bluff was playing it down when he mentioned it. However, the black market's reaction to this information was quite big. That was because this news meant that another extremely powerful supernatural being had appeared in the supernatural world.
If they also knew that Ren Xiaosu was the Stronghold Destroyer, this information would probably be even more shocking.
When Big Bluff bought this information, he felt a little regretful. That was because that bunch of idiots had no idea how amazing their Young Marshal was.
At this moment, Big Bluff said to Ren Xiaosu, "There's another piece of information. Wang Yun was locked up after only being the director of the intelligence agency for a day … Hahahahaha …"
As he spoke, the Great Hoodwinker actually started gloating. Then he laughed for a long time and could not stop himself.
Five minutes later, Ren Xiaosu looked at Big Bluff expressionlessly. "That's enough."
Big Bluff's face froze from laughing. Only then did he stop. "Ahem, sorry, I couldn't control my emotions. I have to rush over to the Kong Clan immediately. I can't really let Wang Yun die in the Kong Clan's secret prison. I'll think of a way to get him out of there. It's a pity that such a talent doesn't participate in the development of the Northwest. The time is ripe now."
"Mhm, go ahead then. But don't force yourself. The Kong Clan's core stronghold isn't a place that just anyone can break into. If you really can't save him, I'll go to the Kong Clan with you after I'm done with the Wang Clan." In fact, Ren Xiaosu also felt that Wang Yun was a talent. It would be a good thing if such a talent could be sent to the Northwest to contribute to the development of the country.
Although he kept saying that he would consider going to the Northwest in the future, Big Bluff kept talking about the Northwest every day. He even called out to the Young Marshal in private every day, so Ren Xiaosu unknowingly started thinking about the Northwest.
Big Bluff nodded and got up to look at everyone. "I don't know when we'll meet again after this. The road is long, so let's part ways here."
Although everyone was about to go their separate ways, this was the life of adults. Everyone was just a passerby on each other's long road, and no one could turn back on that long road.
Although they had become comrades once, they still had to return to their original positions after the battle. Although the Kyung Clan and the Northwest were still considered close, they were still not a family.
When they met again in the future, it was hard to say if they would be friends or enemies.
Luo Lan nodded. "Let's part ways here. May the Kyung Clan and the Northwest never start a war again!"
At this moment, Big Bluff said, "By the way, there's something else that's not too important that I forgot. I heard that the nomads in the north have already headed south and will arrive at Stronghold 176 very soon. However, this matter isn't particularly important. Stronghold 176 should be able to stop them in the north."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Shen's clone said with a smile, "Not necessarily."
Big Bluff looked at Qing Shen and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Stronghold 176 is different from Stronghold 178. You guys have rich resources and don't have any consortiums to keep you in check. But Stronghold 176 is different. Ten years ago, the other consortiums stopped subsidizing them, so they're having a hard time now." Qing Shen said with a smile, "I just hope that the uninvited guests from the grasslands this time are weaker. Otherwise, Stronghold 176 might become history."
