Jiang Zhangbin felt his scalp go numb.
Something that could make He Yuanyue hesitate for so long, something that could make He Yuanyue hesitate for so long … Jiang Zhangbin instinctively smelled the scent of a monstrous wave.
He Yuanyue muttered to herself, her face showing a hesitant expression.
Her white hair was fluttering in the wind. This was a sign that she was deep in thought.
Her brows were tightly knitted, and her eyes were unusually solemn.
As she muttered to herself for a long time, Chief Jiang's heart grew heavier and heavier. He knew very well that in recent years, there were not many things that could make the old principal so cautious and deliberate!
Now, she had called in advance and asked him to come in secret.
After coming, she was still hesitating and deliberating the words to speak. Then, this matter would most likely be of earth-shattering importance!
Then, the people involved in this matter would most likely be unprecedentedly important!
As He Yuanyue continued to ponder, Jiang Zhangbin almost didn't dare to breathe loudly. A layer of cold sweat quietly appeared on his shiny scalp.
Even his heart was beating faster and faster, but he had to control himself and not dare to breathe loudly for fear of interrupting He Yuanyue's thoughts.
Just how important … was this matter?!
Finally, He Yuanyue said, "Sister Lan, please stand guard at the door. Use the power of your Astral Souls to isolate my office. "
"Okay."
The sweat on Jiang Zhangbin's forehead rolled down in an instant.
The two of them were already here, and Sister Lan was actually still needed to isolate the information?!
After a long time, in a deathly silent atmosphere, He Yuanyue finally spoke. "Zhangbin, what is the highest power that you can use now? How much exactly? "
He Yuanyue finally spoke.
But once she opened her mouth, just one sentence, not only did Jiang Zhangbin's mood not relax, but it made him even more nervous. His mind was tense like never before.
He thought seriously and said, "The combat power that Star SHIELD has stationed in Phoenix City includes two Nascent Soul cultivators and eleven Primordial Core grandmasters. But these Primordial Core cultivators, when they walked the Thorny Road back then, they didn't exceed six levels …"
He Yuanyue slowly shook her head. "Not enough! Far from enough! "
"In addition, I am confident that I can invite Kunlun Dao Sect's Mu Yanyan and Zizai Dao Sect's Teacher Qiu to help … These two are peak Nascent Soul experts …"
Jiang Zhangbin slowly considered who he could get help from and who he could rely on. "Other than that, I can also get help from the Governor's Office and the City Guards' Office …"
As he spoke, he cautiously observed He Yuanyue's expression.
"Hmm, there's no need to mention these two places. Are there any other reinforcements?" He Yuanyue interrupted and said gloomily.
Jiang Zhangbin felt a chill run down his spine.
When he mentioned the Governor's Mansion and the City Guards Mansion, he didn't say anything definite. His main intention was to test the waters, hoping to get a rough idea. He didn't expect that He Yuanyue would directly reject these two places … Doesn't that mean …
The more Jiang Zhangbin thought about it, the colder his heart became.
Wouldn't this matter pierce through the heavens?!
"The combat power of our side is too weak!"
He Yuanyue sighed helplessly and said lightly, "There is a huge disparity in the combat power of both sides. Coupled with the disadvantage of being passive, even if the only three Nascent Soul senior teachers in the Second High School are all sent to you, plus Qin Fangyang and Sister Lan are lent to you … it's still not enough!"
Jiang Zhangbin broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to answer for a while.
Such a lineup, such a manpower, such a configuration, it was still far from enough. What was the scale of the other side's combat power?!
He couldn't sleep and eat well just thinking about it!
"If we gather all the high-end forces of the Governor's Mansion, the City Guards, the military, and the Martial Arts Educational Bureau, it's enough. But in these places, there are too many people who can't be trusted …"
He Yuanyue said lightly, "Once we alert the enemy, we really have no chance."
Jiang Zhangbin wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say or where to start. His heart was stuck in his throat, or it would jump out of his mouth in the next moment.
The situation had become so serious?!
How could he deal with it?!
At least in his imagination, there was no backup plan!
"Will the summit send experts as reinforcements?! Can the Dragon Blood Team send a few people? "
He Yuanyue mentioned the Dragon Blood Team very clearly. It was obvious that she favored this force.
"It's not very likely that we can invite the Dragon Blood Team as reinforcements. I made a report last time, but the higher-ups didn't approve it. "
Jiang Zhangbin's expression became more and more depressed.
He Yuanyue pushed the wheelchair all the way to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked into the distance.
After a long time, she said softly, "That day, Li Changjiang came to find me and told me something. The possible consequences of this matter are unknown, and it's hard to predict whether it's good or bad. I asked him to suppress it for the time being."
"Now that the situation is urgent, I've been weighing the pros and cons these past few days and planning for a long time … until I called you over today."
He Yuanyue let out a long sigh. "Originally, I thought that if we could mobilize enough forces, we could directly cut off the Umno Alliance's highest leadership on our side and break this situation from top to bottom … But now it seems that at most, we'll just alert the enemy."
Jiang Zhangbin gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher, please enlighten me."
He Yuanyue looked into the distance and said indifferently, "My Aura Gazing Technique is said to be magical, but in reality, it's just a beginner's level. It took a long time to determine the Phoenix Vein. As for the more detailed content, I didn't understand much, so it can be said that I didn't discover much … But that day, because of a reminder, I asked Sister Lan to bring me up to the sky to look down on the entire Phoenix City. I specifically scanned the Governor's Mansion and actually made an unexpected discovery."
"Governor's Mansion …"
Jiang Zhangbin's body trembled. Then, with a calm face, he slowly walked to the front of the chair and sat down.
After waiting for a long time, he finally got the worst answer, but his heart suddenly calmed down!
The situation was already as bad as it could be. But at most, it could only be so. There was no way to make it worse.
Then, next, he just had to do his best to face it!
When he thought of this, Jiang Zhangbin didn't have the fear and uneasiness from before!
"The Governor's Mansion's atmosphere is strict. The layout is like the Astral Souls Continent's aura soaring to the sky … However, there is a trace of coldness hidden within. That is the aura of the Umno Alliance. It moves together with the aura of the Governor's Mansion, rising and falling. It has almost merged into one …"
He Yuanyue laughed bitterly, "If it wasn't for someone's reminder and I just looked at it myself, even if I was blind, I most likely wouldn't have seen anything strange. I have to say, once the heart is fixed, it's hard to see anything strange. But from another perspective, I can see that something is wrong. Although … it's just a trace of abnormality! "
Jiang Zhangbin took a deep breath, "Teacher, you can just tell me what you plan to do. I now fully understand the importance of this matter. "
He Yuanyue said lightly, "Understanding is one thing. How to do it is another. You must not be reckless. You are the main force of our side. If even you act rashly and ruin yourself, it's a small matter … But if you fail, it may cause a chain reaction and cause the entire Phoenix City to suffer a calamity. I'm afraid … the people will be plunged into misery and suffering! "
"Yes, this student understands."
He Yuanyue finally made up her mind.
Since she had made up her mind, she no longer hesitated and said, "On the day of the incident in Second High, you came to the school and were in Li Changjiang's principal's office. Do you remember who was sitting next to you?"
Jiang Zhangbin was stunned. He opened his mouth and was about to speak when He Yuanyue continued, "Sitting on your left was a tall and thin old man in a gray robe. His hair was white, and his broom-like eyebrows were quite eye-catching …"
Jiang Zhangbin exclaimed, "Teacher, are you talking about him?"
"Lower your voice."
He Yuanyue was a little dissatisfied, "Is this the calmness of the Director of Star SHIELD?"
Jiang Zhangbin nodded repeatedly. The sweat on his bald head had already formed a line. He only felt that his mouth was dry and sticky and his throat was dry. He murmured, "That is Shang Qingyun … the first butler of the Governor's Office, the sworn brother of Governor Wan Pingyuan. He was already a master at the peak of Nascent Soul forty years ago. In our Phoenix City, even if he is not second to none, he is one of the top three candidates …"
As he spoke, the sweat on his face almost covered his eyes.
He Yuanyue murmured, "Shang Qingyun …"
Jiang Zhangbin took a deep breath, wiped his sweat, and continued,
"Legend has it that the area around Phoenix City, Nanji City, and Antai City was almost all under the control of the Black Water Wolves. When Wan Pingyuan just took office, the three cities joined forces to eliminate the Black Water Wolves. The battle with the Wolves that day was earth-shattering."
"Wan Pingyuan's family was attacked by the Black Water Wolves. Seeing that the whole family was destroyed, Shang Qingyun stepped forward and saved the lives of Wan Pingyuan's family."
"After that, in the battle to annihilate the Black Water Wolves Bandits on the Infinite Plains, Shang Qingyun led the charge and marched through the continuous Nine Mountains that the Black Water Wolves Bandits occupied with his sword alone, despite the order from the Green Cloud Domain!
"In that battle, more than seven thousand members of the Black Water Bandits lost their lives under Shang Qingyun's sword, including eight of the thirteen leaders of the Black Water Bandits!"
"In that battle, the Black Water Wolves, who claimed to have more than 300,000 troops, were completely defeated. More than 100,000 Black Water Wolves died on the spot!"
"In the following ten years, the prisons of the three cities were always full."
"This can be said to be the biggest incident in Phoenix City in the past hundred years!" The more Jiang Zhangbin spoke, the more cold sweat on his face.
"After that, Wan Pingyuan repeatedly urged Shang Qingyun to stay and wanted him to join the City Guards Mansion or the army … But Shang Qingyun said that he had no intention of fame and wealth and lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years …"
