Chapter 1123 - 401: Self-Doubt—Even Ballistics Is a Dao (10k)_2
On the other end of the phone, the young man frowned slightly and gave a signal to his subordinate next to him.
The subordinate took out a tablet and operated it for a bit, pulling up some intelligence.
The young man looked at the intelligence, as well as several unclear pictures.
There was the Dahlia and a few sunken ships controlled by water ghosts.
He looked again at the formal notice from the Scorching Sun Department, and the wording was indeed quite unfriendly, but the Scorching Sun Department had always been like this, either lazy to pay attention, since this sort of pulling and cursing is generally done by diplomatic people, but if the Scorching Sun Department pays attention to someone, they generally won’t be too polite.
After understanding roughly what happened, the young man frowned and felt a bit aggrieved.
They really seemed to have done nothing.
But considering before, they first refused the offer from the Taoist priest of Three Mountains and Five Ridges to come, the group sent their juniors, and also encountered attacks.
The young man flipped through the latest intelligence.
Oh, not just one, two juniors sent by the Divine Land to attend the meeting, both encountered attacks.
Another one, just landed, less than an hour after leaving the airport, encountered stray bullets.
However, the young man reacted quite quickly and wasn’t hit.
And another one, encountered a ghost ship blocking the way, the ghost ship was from the Europa side.
The two incidents were almost back-to-back in timing.
How do people think about this?
The young man raised his head and looked at the old man beside him, giving a questioning look.
The old man had a solemn face, hesitated for a moment, shook his head, indicating he didn’t know either.
Although it seemed, he also felt it might be the people below who did it.
The old man took out his phone, made three calls on the side, and only then got the confirmed result.
It really wasn’t done by their people.
The young man picked up the phone again and said.
"I’ve repeatedly confirmed, it’s not us who did this."
"Recently, the demon active in Nanyang, is it related to you?"
"There are many demons active in Nanyang, I don’t know each one."
"If they find an excuse to do something, we can’t stop them, you should understand, we can’t have a direct conflict with them here."
The young man hung up the phone, kept his brows furrowed, reviewed the wording from the Scorching Sun Department again.
He held the tablet, flipped to a page of records densely documenting various demons.
How is he supposed to judge?
There are indeed quite a few demons active in Nanyang, some island natives even worship demons.
The Scorching Sun Department speaks, always with more rigor, with 100% confirmed evidence, before naming names.
Otherwise, it would at best be passive-aggressive.
He flipped through the records but couldn’t determine which demon this incident might be related to.
A glance revealed at least half the demons in the records seemed suspicious, capable of doing such brainless things.
Recently, he truly planned to keep a low profile, he hadn’t gone mad.
He just wanted to advance, earn money, improve control, gain various benefits, except he didn’t want to directly face off with the Divine Land in Nanyang.
Even if dispatching people to Divine Land, it was always covertly, trying to do something, always subtly infiltrating, subtly wooing.
The most outrageous thing was just advertising.
He repeatedly looked over it, stared at the Dahlia in the photos for a while.
Then looked at the official records of the two people sent by the Divine Land.
One was from Mount Laojun, another was from Fuyu Mountain.
These two mountains basically hadn’t come before.
The one from Mount Laojun had no detailed record, only knew the surname was Yan, called Yan Zhikong, but according to past habits from Mount Laojun, people coming under Mount Laojun’s name weren’t weak.
The other was called Wen Yan, reputedly joined Fuyu Mountain halfway through.
Recently many cases in Nanwu County had this guy involved, said to be a very pure martial artist, among the young generation belongs to the outstanding.
Moreover, there were rumors claiming this Wen Yan was one of the suspected Tuoba Martial Gods, and the suspicion was quite high.
The young man automatically ignored those rumors, if it were Tuoba Martial God, wouldn’t be sent to Nanyang.
There had always been various speculations, and various predictions based on existing evidence.
Many people thought Tuoba Martial God might be a rather special professional, after all, such absurd power, completely surpassing the power of other martial artists by several levels, didn’t seem possible to achieve just through pure cultivation and martial training.
Oh, and the Old Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain too, many people in Nanyang fundamentally didn’t believe such heights were achievable purely through cultivation.
Because some people here also practiced, precisely knowing the difficulty, they didn’t believe.
The young man looked at the records, tossed the tablet aside.
"Don’t bother, after some time, catch two demons, hand them over to the authorities, let them tug and argue.
Our people recently keep a low profile, don’t get caught, let them find an excuse."
"Also, how’s the contact with the north?"
"It’s progressing steadily, but the pace may not be very fast.
Boss, you also know, the benefits of the Scorching Sun Department aren’t bad, status is high.
Plus, people there have a huge concern about being traitors.
Especially given the current situation, such concerns are even greater."
"What about the wandering merchant?"
"Also in contact with people there, but the progress isn’t great.
Currently can only confirm, he possibly won’t be detained for too long.
According to the information I received, possibly three to six months, he will be released."
