Lu Luo ca to the window and watched the setting sun, letting the sunlight fall upon his body.
After pondering for a while, the power of the Sequence erupted violently!
The Outburst of this power was too sudden and too irresistible.
In terms of scale, it could almost be described as blotting out the sky and covering the sun.
But this Outburst was just a flash in the pan; it didn’t last long.
Even so, such a fleeting Outburst was enough to be felt by the Investigators from the Inspection Departnt.
This was already the second ti they had felt the power of the Sequence from the location of the Half-Mountain Villa.
If the previous occurrence could be considered a coincidence, then this ti, it was impossible to cover up, no matter what.
In the Coal Capital, Investigators from the Inspection Departnt were reporting to Zhang Changming, "Minister, a strong Sequence reaction has occurred in the western region. According to the intelligence fed back by the local Investigators, it can be basically confird that it is the sa location as the previous incident at Dong’an City’s Half-Mountain Villa."
Hearing this result, Zhang Changming, who was reviewing docunts, paused briefly.
The Half-Mountain Villa again... Lu Luo, that guy!
Zhang Changming had already guessed most of the cause and effect and soon nodded. "I understand."
Then there was no follow-up, which surprised his subordinates.
Any ergence of a Sequence was definitely the most important affair for the entire Inspection Departnt.
Because capturing Sequence Wielders was one of the basic duties for which the Imperial Family established the Inspection Departnt.
Zhang Changming had previously been very active in carrying out this task. But what’s going on this ti? Why does the Minister seem so uninterested?
"Minister, do you have any other instructions? Regarding the Half-Mountain Villa, should we continue our investigation? That is a Sequence Wielder, and if such a person is left in the Imperial territory, they could pose a great threat. Moreover, our purpose is also to capture Sequence Wielders..."
Zhang Changming frowned slightly. To be honest, even if I’m wrong, even if I’m covering up for Lu Luo, I don’t particularly appreciate being questioned at this ti. If a superior is frequently questioned, then his position is no longer stable.
"I said there’s no need for that. I have other arrangents for this matter. For now, file away the intelligence from your end."
"Ah? Oh, okay, I understand."
The subordinates had never doubted that Zhang Changming had personal motives because the Minister they knew was always selfless.
This selflessness had persisted for twenty years and had never changed.
So when Zhang Changming said he had other arrangents, his subordinates imdiately believed him.
Zhang Changming’s fingers twitched slightly. In the past two months, he had already intercepted three investigations concerning the Half-Mountain Villa.
Lu Luo’s developnt over there is sowhat worrying, and it seems there’s more than one Sequence Wielder there. This is giving a headache! It feels like Lu Luo has beco sowhat unrestrained during this period. The commotion he caused this ti was so great that even without using instrunts, I felt the Sequence’s fluctuations from the west. Such a matter is difficult to conceal.
Forget it. The Society Assembly should be held in the next few days. According to what that kid said, their people will et there. I need to find a way to acquire so Society resources, like mining rights or sothing similar. At that ti, I’ll give him a proper reminder.
Zhang Changming gestured to his subordinate, "Old Six."
"At your service, Minister."
"This ti’s Coal Capital Society Assembly might have so unusual aspects. During this period, you should prepare more thoroughly. When these people arrive at the Coal Capital, keep a close eye on them to prevent any mishaps. Although we mostly don’t need to worry about security work, such an event definitely requires our effort."
The Investigator known as Old Six was stunned. Will this year’s Society Assembly be different? In the past, weren’t these Society Assemblies simply arenas for the various forces to reshuffle their interests? Just a bunch of wildcards struggling for resources. The Inspection Departnt typically looked down on such affairs. But this ti, since the Minister had personally comnted, there must be a problem. My Minister has vast influence; there must be so channels that we don’t know about.
"Yes, Minister. I will do my utmost to ensure the safety of the Coal Capital during the Society Assembly."
"Good, you may leave now."
Zhang Changming felt sowhat helpless. After I told a lie to clean up Lu Luo’s ss, I’ve had to keep lying to cover it up. The cases from the Inspection Departnt must be submitted. Regarding Sequence matters, I can only try my best to suppress them for now. But ultimately, these files will have to be submitted to the Imperial Family’s headquarters. Chances are high no one will look at them, but if soone does, they’ll definitely spot the problems. By then, not only Lu Luo but I myself will also be in danger.
Forget it. I’ll cross that bridge when I co to it.
Zhang Changming took out a piece of paper and, after pulling out a ballpoint pen, began to draw on it.
Soon, a delicate and beautiful girl appeared on the paper, as lifelike as could be.
In appearance, the girl bore so resemblance to Bai Yuetong, but if Lu Luo and Dumb Hair saw this drawing, they would certainly recognize the woman in it.
That woman who once made the entire Wasteland Alliance tremble: Judgnt Chief, Bai Qingshuang!
Looking at the drawing, Zhang Changming was almost srized.
Until a knock on the door sounded again, the drawing in his hand imdiately turned to ash.
"Minister..."
After listening seriously to his subordinate’s report, Zhang Changming finally loosened his fingers.
He looked at the ash in his hand, a helpless expression on his face.
I don’t even dare to keep a single photo of her, and I even have to hide my drawings. How ridiculous.
He flung the ashes from his hand and composed himself before standing up.
Will Lu Luo bring Bai Yuetong to the Coal Capital? It’s a risky move, but I also look forward to it. If Lu Luo and his group can co to the Coal Capital... That would really be sothing to look forward to!
「...」
「Dong’an City.」
Lu Luo, Yang Di, and Luo Yi would represent Wings of Blazing Sky at the Society Assembly in the Coal Capital.
As partners, it was natural for Lu Luo and Yang Di to go to the Coal Capital together.
But for Luo Yi to choose to follow them at this ti made Lu Luo feel a bit strange.
Was it because of the ID card incident last ti, and she wanted to compensate during this period? There’s really no need, sis.
Inside the car, Yang Di looked at Luo Yi with a serious face. The two of them had a harmonious relationship at the company.
But now that they were outside, especially when out with Lu Luo, Yang Di’s attitude began to sour.
"You’re coming out with us, but what about the Society? Don’t cases need to be assigned? How are you performing your supervisory role? Do you even want to keep your job?"
Does Yang Di truly care about the Society? She doesn’t give a damn. She brought this up, and ninety percent of the reason was because Luo Yi had disrupted her ti alone with Lu Luo. Although there was no developnt between her and Lu Luo, the two of them still felt very comfortable together. Lu Luo had a rather modest attitude, he was capable, and very wealthy. Following him alone would definitely be much better than bringing along Luo Yi, the deadweight.
"This matter is different from before; it’s critical for our Society’s developnt," Luo Yi said. "I’m not entirely comfortable with just you and Lu Luo going. Besides, there haven’t been many cases recently, so I decided to co along and see. What, you don’t appreciate having a chauffeur?"
Luo Yi had been bickering with Yang Di all the way, and the thing was, Yang Di couldn’t even win the argunt, much to her fury.
However, both of them would glance at Lu Luo seated in the backseat from ti to ti.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion. Ever since Lu Luo took a short leave and ca back, he seed to have beco quite detached. This detachnt doesn’t refer to Lu Luo becoming arrogant or anything of the sort. Since Lu Luo’s return, he has beco much less talkative. The detachnt referred to here ans Lu Luo seems absent-minded. It’s as if he cares little about everything around him; besides standing there in a daze every day, he stares blankly at the nature reserve to the west. I once suspected whether Lu Luo was ill or had taken a blow. Or perhaps the incident last ti had put him under great pressure from the Inspection Departnt. But after I asked repeatedly, Lu Luo always said there was nothing wrong, so I stopped asking. But Lu Luo’s condition still hasn’t improved. Although he later took on a few cases, how should I put it? He just seems very detached, very out of it!
"Lu Luo, have you been troubled by sothing lately?" Luo Yi asked.
"Eh, hmm?"
"I’m asking if you’re troubled by sothing. If you have any problems, you can tell . I’ll do my best to help you with what I can."
Since I got caught by Zhang Changming last ti, I’ve always felt guilty. The Inspection Departnt is what it is; although powerful, it’s not the kind of backer we can cling to. Lu Luo is different; he’s soone we can cooperate with. So I don’t want any discord between myself and Lu Luo.
"No, really, nothing’s wrong – just that I’ve had so new findings in my cultivation recently, so I wanted to take so ti to think."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, that’s the way it is."
Lu Luo smiled, not continuing the conversation.
After reaching Grade S as a Faithless One, my state has beco sowhat erratic. After the Sixth Tier cos the Seventh Tier. And the Seventh Tier is the true gateway to becoming the ultimate life form. I’ve made so new discoveries, or rather, I’ve felt sothing different. I learned in advance the way to successfully enter the Seventh Tier. Besides enhancing all attributes and Qi He to the extre of the current stage, upgrading the Sequence and rectifying flaws are the limiters to breaking through to the peak. I’ve found the thods and channels for improvent, but how to obtain enough Sequence rules has beco the difficult challenge I face.
"I really want to join the Imperial Inspection Departnt!" Lu Luo exclaid suddenly.
Luo Yi and Yang Di looked at him with surprised faces.
"Lu Luo, you want to join the Imperial Inspection Departnt?" Luo Yi asked.
"Indeed, I have been contemplating it."
"Eh, okay, it’s your own affair. I respect your choice."
I’m still quite rational. Regardless of whether Lu Luo leaves Wings of Blazing Sky in the future, building a good relationship with him is the most important thing for .
"Hehe, Miss Luo Yi, rest assured, I won’t leave Wings of Blazing Sky," Lu Luo said.
I didn’t take Lu Luo’s promise seriously, nor did I need to. It’s already good that he hasn’t left yet. If Lu Luo participates in the Society Assembly, he should be able to secure a very high ranking. A high ranking ans a lot of resources. These are all benefits the Society can acquire! So, no matter what Lu Luo is really thinking, my task is to just not disturb him and honestly play my role as a useful ’tool’.
"That’s good then," Luo Yi replied.
「...」
In Coal Capital, Bai Yuetong, leading nearly eighty Circular mbers, arrived.
Dressed uniformly in blue trench coats, they were led by Gu Fangyi in person.
When they disembarked at the train station, the small Societies from other regions who had also co to Coal Capital to attend the Society Assembly watched them with surprise and skepticism.
Such a number of mbers would qualify them as more than a small organization in any city. So they were speculating whether Bai Yuetong and her group were from so large Society.
Dumb Hair wore a hat to cover her white hair.
Even though Lu Luo hadn’t explained why I needed to hide my hair, I’m a very sensible person. Fool around all you want, cause trouble if you must, but never take Lu Luo’s words lightly. Even without explicit instructions from Lu Luo, I’ve already guessed that there’s sothing off about my identity. That head of white hair is the most conspicuous sign. Perhaps so people really might dye their hair white to show off their uniqueness and personality. I know my situation is complicated, and the situation of the entire Circular is also very complicated now. Not causing Lu Luo trouble is the best choice.
"Hey, where are we going now?" Zhou Kai asked in a low voice.
Bai Yuetong pushed up the huge glasses on her face. "Although I find her sowhat annoying, according to Lu Luo’s intentions, it seems I’m supposed to et up with her first."
"Qi Xinzhu?"
"Yeah, but now she’s a preacher for the Cain Secret Cultivator Society, quite impressive indeed!"
The stream of people was gradually converging, and more and more Transcendents began to gather in Coal Capital. As the most inconspicuous of the nine regions, Coal Capital’s Society Assemblies in past years hadn’t been very interesting, rely a few powerful Societies challenging each other and engaging in strategic gas.
But this year’s situation was obviously very different from previous years.
The entire train station was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Every Transcendent was aloof, coldly watching others.
Of course, those who were watched responded with equal coldness, staring back with hostility.
The air among these people was more charged than in past years, as if a fight could break out at any mont.
However, they were still relatively calm.
Because the security force stationed at the train station this year was more than just the security office.
Black-clad Inspection Departnt officers were positioned in nearly every corner of the station.
So even if so conflicts arose, under the watchful gaze of the Inspection Departnt personnel, they didn’t dare to act rashly.
This was the deterrent power of the Inspection Departnt.
In the station’s surveillance room, an Inspection Departnt captain in black muttered, "The Minister was right, there’s definitely sothing off about this year’s Society Assembly!"
At that mont, he was observing Bai Yuetong, Zhou Kai, and the eighty Circular mbers they were leading.
