"Then...our side..." What Xu Qian wanted to say was, facing forty martial saints, could the manpower summoned by the Special Branch be able to cope with it?
It's just that it's not easy to say this. If you ask it directly, it would be too offensive. Xu Qian is not a fool, so he still needs to think about how to structure his words.
Chang Feng naturally understood what Xu Qian meant. Before Xu Qian could organize his words, Chang Feng shook his head slightly and said, "It's difficult! Without the Martial God, it's difficult to gather a comparable number of Martial Saints in a short time. Our country's territory It’s so vast and there are many fortresses that need to be guarded. We can’t all have military commanders from every branch come here to Dongshan. There are also people there. There are many external recruits and there are many experts, but after all, they are external recruits. The Special Branch cannot force outsiders to come here, they can only come on a voluntary basis. As for the strong people in the private sector, it is even more difficult. Those people are not even willing to hire outsiders. It is extremely difficult for them to take action. There are also The very few who have not registered live in seclusion, let alone think about it.”
"But why doesn't the Martial God take action?" Xu Qian originally thought that if it didn't work, it wouldn't be difficult for a few Martial Gods to deal with these Martial Saints from the Tang Dynasty. But from Chang Feng's tone, he could tell that the Martial God didn't seem to be able to do anything. Will take action.
Chang Feng sighed softly, "The Martial God represents the highest combat power of martial arts cultivators. Today, when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is exhausted, it is difficult to see immortal cultivators. The Martial God is the representative of the highest combat power in this world. If the Martial God emerges lightly, the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed." The Martial Gods over there will inevitably invade China, and by then it will be a decisive battle. No one wants to enter the decisive battle stage before they are not very sure of victory."
Xu Qian and Lin Qiaoni both noticed the keyword "the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is exhausted", "Why is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth exhausted?"
Chang Feng could tell from Xu Qian's small notebook that he had just become an external employee, and at such a young age, it was understandable that he didn't know a lot of information. But isn't this depletion of spiritual energy common sense? Just like most ordinary people know that the world is warming. You are already a Martial Saint, and you don’t even know this?
Chang Feng concealed his surprise and said tentatively: "Mr. Xu was practicing in seclusion before?"
Xu Qian heard what the other party meant, and he simply said along the lines of helplessness: "Well, I haven't gone down the mountain for some years."
Lin Qiaoni glanced at Xu Qian and thought, you are going to talk too much about it again. Although she didn't know much about Xu Qian's past, judging from the exchanges between the two, he was definitely not the kind of person who lived in the mountains all year round and was ignorant of the world.
Fortunately, Lin Qiaoni was wearing sunglasses, so Chang Feng didn't notice her micro-expressions.
Chang Feng nodded to express his understanding. Whether they are immortal cultivators or martial cultivators, there are people who practice escaping from the world. There are not many such people, but it is not impossible. Generally speaking, such people should also know about the depletion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After all, this is not something that just happened, and if there are masters and classmates, they will not even know the basic knowledge of cultivation.
But what if a person practices alone? That's hard to say. Chang Feng has more respect for Xu Qian, because those who can practice alone behind closed doors are all people with great perseverance, not to mention that Xu Qian is still so young, with firm beliefs and the ability to endure hardship, he will definitely shine in the future.
"The depletion of spiritual energy has been like this since ancient times. This is also known to everyone in the cultivation world."
Xu Qian wondered: "Whether it is exhausted or not is relative. If it has been like this since ancient times, how can we talk about exhaustion?"
"It is said that the spiritual energy in ancient times was rich and strong, but I don't know what the concept of antiquity is and how ancient it is. Maybe no one knows either."
"What is this, just a hearsay?" Could it be that over the years, none of the countless monks and monks have ever doubted this unsubstantiated statement? Xu Qian found it ridiculous. If ancient times were as far back as the Stone Age, who would record the experience of rich spiritual energy at that time? primitive?
He didn't want to tangle with Chang Feng on this issue anymore. He knew there was no point in continuing the discussion.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
Chang Feng looked into the distance and began to describe what he knew.
The situation is basically consistent with what is stated in the Special Branch mission system. The difference is that Chang Feng tells it from his perspective and describes it in some details.
When people from the Tang Dynasty were first discovered in Laolao Mountain, the Special Branch had already closed the scenic spot. When the first group of people went to check it out, they cleared the area. No one was left, whether they were tourists or staff in the scenic spot. Out of the scenic spot. After these people disappeared, the Special Branch sent troops to blockade the scenic spot.
After the second batch of people from the Special Branch also disappeared in Laolao Mountain, that is, on October 11, the Dongshan Branch felt that the situation was serious and sent almost all the soldiers in the station to Laolao Mountain, mainly because they were worried about this mysterious Tang Dynasty. Forces escaping from the scenic area threaten the safety of civilians in Dongshan City. The role of the army is mainly to blockade rather than fight. In the face of high-level martial arts, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to eliminate them. Changfeng is Laolao Mountain that we arrived at this time.
At this point, the cable car had stopped, and the three of them got off the cable car. Xu Qian asked, "How did the forty martial saints break through the blockade?"
Mentioning this, Chang Feng was silent for a long time and then said in a deep voice: "They did not appear at the same time, but appeared one after another from the 12th to the 15th. That is to say, the two times the branch organized personnel to come over, it happened to be that they met Later, in the early morning of the 16th, they began to break out."
Chang Feng paused and said with an ugly expression: "That night, they killed a total of 216 of our soldiers, robbed a few cars and left."
Xu Qian understood Chang Feng's mood. As a commander, it was really painful to watch his soldiers fall one by one.
"They also sacrificed their lives for the country, and they deserved their death." Xu Qian comforted.
Chang Feng smiled and said: "The duty of a soldier is to protect our home and country. Faced with this, we will not have any complaints. Now we are worried about the branch. After they captured the branch, they stayed inside and did not come out. We don't know. What's the purpose? If they go to Dongshan City and massacre civilians, there will be big trouble."
"If something like this happens, won't the God of War from the Special Branch take action?"
"The bottom line is not to harm civilians. If they do this, the strong men of the Martial God level will definitely take action. In fact, there are already strong Martial Gods in the branch, just to prevent them from harming civilians in their madness."
"Which Martial God is here?" The only Martial God Xu Qian knew was Zhou Qingyi, who he had fought with before. He wondered if it was Director Zhou from the Special Branch Headquarters who had come over.
"I heard it's Deputy Director Xue from the General Administration."
Deputy Director Xue? Xu Qian had never heard of this deputy director, but since the Martial God was here, the Martial Saints of the Tang Empire should not be able to cause big troubles. In addition to the Martial God, the Special Bureau must also have arranged a large number of strong people. Otherwise, what would happen? Take back the branch and kill all the enemies in one fell swoop?
Xu Qian wanted to say something else, but Chang Feng pointed to a place not far ahead, "That is the exit from the Tang Empire into China."
Xu Qian and the two looked over. It was an inconspicuous place on the slope of a mountain 100 meters away. It seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist. It was like a distortion of time and space that was inconsistent with the surrounding things, giving people a very strange feeling. . At this time, there were dozens of armed soldiers guarding the area. When it comes to closing scenic spots, closing this exit is the key.
