The Penglai Conference was a major event that happened once every ten years in the Dao World and the Demon World.
Every time it happened, there would be many guests from the two realms, each of whom was an outstanding figure from their respective birthplaces or sects.
It was not an exaggeration to say that more than half of the Transcendents in Chellona were gathered here.
Compared to this, the annual New Year's Eve seemed more ordinary … Of course, it was still one of the most important days of the year after all. The Dao-Demon Gala that was held at the last minute under the lead of the Administrative Bureau was rather impressive.
Of course, the Agency had organized this banquet to ease the tension between the Dao World and the Demon World. After all, after the establishment of the New Nation, that great man had signed an agreement with the two realms.
That agreement was strangely binding, and there would be serious consequences if it was violated. Of course, there were only a few who knew what the consequences would be, even though most of the Transcendents in the Land of Divine Lands were gathered here.
During the banquet, the Agency was arranging a variety of performances for the guests from various realms. Of course, for these Transcendents, the performances of ordinary people were not easy to understand. Therefore, every performer belonged to the concept of 'Inhuman'.
This banquet had probably been planned a long time ago. Otherwise, they would not have been so thorough in such a short time.
Even so, the atmosphere was rather cold.
At this moment, in the room, a few important members of the Agency were frowning. Among them was Captain Ling Feng, who was in charge of the Crouching Dragon Villa's security project. The few present were actually all captains of the Agency.
"As expected, he's not coming … Consultant Long." Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile.
Although they were mentally prepared, the Agency's most senior consultant did not give them any face. This made the captains feel rather uncomfortable.
Of course, Long Xiruo was invited this time … However, the Agency's intentions had probably been seen through long ago. Therefore, it was not surprising that Chellona Shinryū did not attend.
Ling Feng lit a cigarette in frustration. Of course, the group of captains had not gathered here to play 'Fight the Landlord' or 'Golden Flower', but because of another sudden incident.
More than two hours ago, there was a suspected incident of inhuman destruction in a small town at the foot of Mount Tai.
According to the information sent back by the Bureau, the battle did not last long, and the number of casualties was not high … However, there were still three people who died, and it was a family of three.
Although for the Administration, the number of deaths when encountering Taoists who had gone mad or rioting demons all year round was far more than this number, for the common people, such a tragedy was very serious — and it happened on the night of such an important festival.
The emergency plan had been activated, and the higher-ups had given the order to erase the influence.
However, because there was a live broadcast of a large-scale gala in the nation's capital tonight, and because there was a New Year's speech tomorrow, some of the people from the Administration had been temporarily transferred back to protect the safety of the country's big shots. Therefore, during this period of time, the Administration seemed to be a little understaffed in Mount Tai.
"Anyway, let's use the car accident as an excuse to cover it up. As for the media, let the local publicity department give the order, right? Let those civil servants who eat the government's food and don't work cancel their leave! "A female captain said in an imposing manner.
"There's no need to discuss this here. The key is to find out the background of the two sides of this battle." Another captain said, "The Kun Peng Villa that I'm in charge of has no record of demons entering or leaving at night."
Ling Feng also frowned and said, "There's nothing particularly suspicious in the Crouching Dragon Villa."
"In other words, it's someone who is not on the registration list?"
"Hmm … Unknown background, unknown motive. However, one thing is for sure, at least one side is rational. " Ling Feng muttered, "According to the report, there was a sudden thick fog, and many people fell into a coma … Hmm, regarding the appearance of the thick fog, it has been temporarily dealt with by the accident of chemicals, but many residents rushed to the hospital overnight … The traffic in the town is now chaotic again. Ah, there are so many troublesome things! "
At the end of his sentence, Captain Ling Feng was already biting his cigarette while scratching his hair. In the end, he simply collapsed on the sofa.
"Using the thick fog to cover it up means that the other side at least knows the agreement and does not dare to easily expose themselves in front of the residents. This is considered to be moderation … or the type that does not kill indiscriminately." That female captain frowned and said, "Hmm … There's a possibility of rational negotiation?"
"Could it be related to the recent mysterious disappearances of members from both the Dao World and the Demon World?" A four-eyed captain suddenly said.
Captain Ling Feng turned his head. "Speaking of which, how many disappearances have been recorded?"
The four-eyed captain pushed up his glasses and said, "A total of 187 people from the Dao Association. As for the Kun Peng Villa, a total of 217 demons have gone missing."
"There are actually so many?" Captain Ling Feng sat up in surprise and said in shock, "Didn't this just happen a few days ago?"
The four-eyed captain said solemnly, "Hmm, to be exact, this was discovered a few days ago … I'm afraid the official start was two months ago."
"Two months ago … When the first batch of guests arrived?" The female captain said in shock, "Why did we only find out now?"
The four-eyed captain said, "On one hand, it's because these Daoists or demons are very undisciplined and difficult to manage. On the other hand, Daoists and monsters often went into closed-door training once they started cultivating. They often didn't show up for several months … After Momo's incident, both sides consciously counted the number of people and found that a lot of people were missing … In addition, there might be a lot of people who fought under the edict and killed each other in private. It's just that we can't distinguish who is truly missing and who died due to internal strife. We don't know where they died, but we can't find their bodies. "
"Did you find the body of a White Tiger Clan member yesterday?" Captain Ling Feng looked at the captain in charge of the Kun Peng Villa and asked.
"Yes, the identity has been verified. It's Huang Baifu's follower … You know what kind of person this White Tiger Young Master is. If we don't give him an explanation, I'm afraid he will dare to run to the capital and destroy our headquarters!" The captain in charge of the Kun Peng Villa sighed and said, "However, I feel that the murderer might not be directly related to the disappearances."
The female captain was puzzled, "Why do you say that?"
The four-eyed captain said, "It's very simple. We have been unable to find the missing people for a long time. Even their bodies have disappeared. It's like they have disappeared from the world. But this time, they just left the bodies at the scene. "
"Maybe they didn't have enough time to deal with it?" Ling Feng frowned.
The four-eyed captain said, "There have been so many disappearances, but I've never seen anyone who didn't have enough time to deal with it. If there's a conspiracy behind the disappearances, don't you think it's very stupid to leave the bodies behind? "
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
At this time, a young man came in with several cups of water on a tray and distributed them in front of several captains.
Lin Feng casually picked up a glass of water and took a sip before casually asking, "What's the situation outside?"
The young man lowered his head and said, "It's not good. Both sides started to blame each other because of the edict incident and the recent disappearances. But the big figures of both sides are present, so they can barely control the situation … Well, for the time being, they are still in the stage of cynicism. "
"Got it." Captain Ling Feng shook his head at this time, then waved his hand and said, "You go out and continue to watch. If there's any movement, report to me immediately."
"Okay." The young man nodded, then turned and left.
However, when the youth turned around to leave, Captain Ling Feng suddenly spat out the water he had just drunk.
At the same time, the female captain and the captain in charge of the Kun Peng Villa suddenly moved.
The two were extremely fast!
The female captain conjured a short sword that was about the length of an arm. Like a flash of lightning, she appeared behind the young man and placed the short sword on the young man's neck.
On the other side, the captain in charge of the Kun Peng Villa had moved to the other side of the young man. He raised a strange black pistol and put it on the young man's head.
The two said in unison, "Don't move."
These captains weren't ordinary people — Originally, ordinary people, even well-trained special forces, couldn't take the position of a captain in the Administration. After all, the subordinates in the Administration were sent from various sects and the Monster Clan.
Therefore, there was a reverse operation — that was, the country sent people to various sects and even the Monster Clan that needed to be trained.
The captains were the elites who came from different places.
At this time, the young man who was threatened by the two captains didn't panic. He just stopped.
Captain Ling Feng stood up and snorted, "Who are you? What's your purpose of sneaking in here? You'd better tell the truth, or else … "
"I'm more curious, how did you find me?" The young man slowly turned around, not caring about the short swords and guns of the two captains.
It was a very ordinary face, a common face … The young man smiled slightly. "Did I reveal any flaws?"
"Very simple, because I asked for cola." Captain Ling Feng said coldly, "As for the other drinks they asked for … We said to bring some drinks back, not some water. If you are in person, you should know what we need. "
"So this is the reason …" The young man was slightly stunned at this time, then sighed and said helplessly, "Actually, if possible, I don't want to use force."
"You have to be able to move first!" The female captain sneered at this time, and the short sword in her hand had already pressed lightly on the young man's neck.
This short sword was quite sharp. Just by pressing it, it had already cut the young man's skin.
But the young man still didn't move. He just lowered his head and slowly blew out a breath.
"Answer the question, don't waste time." Captain Ling Feng took a step forward.
However, at this moment, Captain Ling Feng's face changed greatly!
Because, in front of his eyes, the young man's body suddenly split open … From the split body, the young man's flesh and blood were like a mixture of sodium decanoate solution and concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution. The flesh and blood swelled and crazily squeezed out, and poured onto his body in an instant!
"What's this thing!" Captain Ling Feng was greatly shocked, constantly struggling and waving his fists crazily!
At the same time, the other two captains who were responsible for controlling the young man also attacked in horror — And the four-eyed captain who was sitting down was now painfully grabbing his neck … as if he was being strangled by something!
"Monster, go away!!"
"Don't come over … damn it!! Guards! "
"Help! Help!! The Blood Demon has been reborn!! "
That was … the most powerful, most terrifying and dangerous enemy that these captains had ever encountered …
But in fact, the room was very weird at this time … because the young man didn't move at all, but the four captains became abnormal at this time.
In the end, the four captains were exhausted and fainted on the ground one after another.
The young man glanced around at this time, whispering, "After all, it's just a quick product. The state of mind is indeed the biggest weakness."
After that, the young man directly walked to the table where the captains were discussing, taking the documents on the table and reading them.
At the same time, wisps of smoke suddenly dispersed from the young man's body … dissipating. She had already recovered her original appearance.
White clothes and a cold face.
Like a fairy from Guanghan.
It was Qin Chuyu.
"After disappearing for so many years, what's behind this …" She lowered her head, seeming to be pondering about something, muttering to herself, "500 years … After waking up this time, I still can't do anything … Master."
…
Although the 'actors' on the stage worked very hard and the performance was far more exciting than that of the gala in the distant capital, the audience below the stage obviously didn't pay attention to it.
Lai Caisheng was the third leader of the Dao Association. Although he was young, he had already gained the trust of all parties since he took the position. Moreover, he eliminated the influence of the Cloth Dao Sect's Qing Xiazi and could be said to be a genius in the Dao World.
However, at this time, he didn't make a sound. Instead, he silently watched the people from both sides exchange words at the banquet.
However, if he didn't do anything, this war of words would probably escalate into a fight … Demons didn't care about being quiet and inactive.
"What are the President and Uncle-Master doing now …"
Lai Caisheng folded his fingers under the table and slowly started to count.
After a while, Miss Gong walked quickly to Lai Caisheng's side and whispered in his ear, "Gongsun Shiyu is back … Something seems to have happened."
