The severed finger, wrapped in flas, remained unburnt. Instead, a wisp of blue smoke rose gently and drifted towards the west.
"It seems that's where the armored zombie was first buried." Ge Dongxu muttered to himself as he was already soaring through the air, heading westward, still holding the ball of flas in his hand.
As Ge Dongxu leaped through the sky from ti to ti, the direction of the wisp of blue smoke changed occasionally.
About ten minutes later, although the bright red sun still hung in the sky and sunlight patchily filtered through leaves to the ground, Ge Dongxu felt no heat from the sumr sun. On the contrary, he felt a bone-chilling coldness creeping in.
"It should be just ahead." Ge Dongxu's pupils contracted slightly, and in an instant, he had covered more than ten ters and arrived in front of a cave.
The cave wasn't large, asuring only about two ters in height and one ter in width. The bone-chilling coldness was emanating from this cave.
Upon seeing this, Ge Dongxu quietly stimulated the True Qi in his body and spread his Divine Sense as he entered the cave.
Upon entering the cave, even Ge Dongxu felt a sensation of his hair standing on end due to the intense cold.
Though the entrance was small, the interior was surprisingly spacious, spanning about ten square ters. Inside, there were stone-carved tables, stools, and a stone bed.
When Ge Dongxu placed his hand on the stone bed, he imdiately felt as if he was touching an eternal block of ice.
This was indeed a place of Yin Demonic energy, and the eye of it must be beneath this stone bed. It seems that the armored zombie must have been a cultivator too, but practiced a cold Cultivation Technique, which is why he retreated here to reside, Ge Dongxu thought to himself, pulling his hand back as he speculated.
While pondering, Ge Dongxu carefully examined the cave, but finding nothing of particular interest, he lost interest and casually left the cave.
After exiting the cave, Ge Dongxu tapped his toe on the ground, and like a bird, he soared away. However, not long after leaving, he returned to the spot, looked around, found so large boulders, and moved them to block the cave entrance securely.
Such a Yin Demonic cave, if entered by unknowing common tourists, could make them fall seriously ill upon returning, and those who are weak might even die from the illness. Of course, to soone practicing a cold Cultivation Technique like the Zhong Family, this cave would be a treasure land for Cultivation.
Having just feuded with the Zhong Family of Xiangxi, Ge Dongxu naturally would not inform them about this cave.
After securely sealing the entrance, Ge Dongxu covered it with so vines for camouflage before tapping his toe on the ground and leaving with peace of mind.
"Xu Chief, Director Ge has been inside for such a long ti, and we haven't heard any noise from inside. Do you think sothing might have happened?" Yang Xiangrong asked with so uneasiness outside in the forest.
"There should be no issue. Even if Director Ge can't suppress the armored zombie, he can definitely hold it off. Once Director Fan and the others arrive with backup, we'll be able to suppress and kill it together," Xu Lei replied.
"That's a relief," Yang Xiangrong sighed, but then followed it up with a new worry, giving a wry smile as he said to Xu Lei, "Xu Chief, I wasn't very polite to Director Ge earlier. You'll have to speak well on my behalf later."
The past is the past, and Yang Xiangrong now knew all too well how exceptional Director Ge Dongxu's status was in the bureau.
"Don't worry. Director Ge is not the kind of person to hold grudges," Xu Lei said.
Yang Xiangrong gave a sheepish smile and didn't continue; instead, he turned his gaze towards the mountain forest.
"Tatatata!" The sound of the helicopter rotor blades ca from the distant horizon. Soon another military helicopter landed on the flat ground outside the forest.
The door of the helicopter opened, and six people stepped out one after another. Leading them was none other than Fan Hong from the Special Ability Managent Bureau, followed by five others, each of them emanating an aura of self-restraint and extraordinary bearing, with even two won among them.
As soon as Fan Hong and the others disembarked, not only Xu Lei and Yang Xiangrong from the Special Ability Managent Bureau rushed forward to greet them, but Divination Master and his ilk also hastened to welco them.
Zhong Family head Zhong Yichao's complexion shifted slightly, but in the end, he too followed suit.
Not only did Fan Hong possess the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation, but he was also the director of the Special Ability Managent Bureau. Even if the Qin Sorcerers were reluctant to be regulated by officials, the situation was stronger than the person, and outwardly, they had to comply with the control and leadership of this departnt.
Therefore, since Fan Hong had arrived, the necessary respect and face must be given, especially since Fan Hong had brought five people with him, who were also well-known figures in Qin and now held positions within this special governnt departnt.
"Director Fan, fellow Daoists, good to see you all unhard!" Divination Master and the others stepped forward to greet Fan Hong and his party.
Fan Hong quickly returned the greeting and then asked Xu Lei, "How's the situation? Where's Director Ge?"
"Director Ge has gone alone into the mountain forest," Xu Lei responded.
Upon hearing this, Fan Hong's expression darkened slightly, "Given that it's very likely a Middle Rank Ironclad Corpse, how could we allow Director Ge to enter the mountain forest alone?"
"Yes, I also felt it was inappropriate. I wanted to lead my family mbers into the forest to help, but unfortunately, Chief Xu disagreed," Zhong Yichao interjected before Xu Lei could respond.
Fan Hong didn't answer him, but his gaze swept over Zhong Yongxiu, who was still sitting on the ground with his pant legs stained red with blood, and then he looked at Xu Lei and asked, "What happened to him?"
"This man is from the younger generation of the Zhong family; he has repeatedly humiliated Director Ge and ordered corpse cats to make a move against Director Ge, so I directly opened fire to stop him," replied Xu Lei.
"Daring to publicly assault a public servant, this is lawlessness. Good shot!" Fan Hong said as he coldly glanced at Zhong Yichao and then nodded indifferently, not giving him any face.
Although Fan Hong's level of Cultivation was on par with that of Zhong Yichao, he was not Xu Lei; he was the director of the Special Ability Managent Bureau and represented the state's control over the entirety of Qin, naturally possessing an authority and majesty that should not be affronted!
Although Zhong Yichao, the clan head of the Zhong Family of Xiangxi, held so power locally, how could he compare with Director Fan?
The only people who could truly make Fan Hong wary were the few leaders of the major sects, such as the Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain; Zhong Yichao was far from them.
Seeing that Fan Hong did not give him any face, Zhong Yichao's expression fluctuated between dark and light for a mont, but he ultimately did not dare to erupt and instead said with repressed anger, "Zhong Yongxiu does not understand hierarchy, acting rashly and arrogantly. I will severely punish him upon our return, but now is not the ti to worry about these things. Director Ge has been in the mountain forest for quite so ti, and we don't know the situation. I respectfully request permission from Director Fan to enter the forest for investigation. Should Director Ge be in danger, I may be of so assistance."
As he said this, Zhong Yichao's head was slightly lowered, and a fervent glint flickered deep within his eyes.
If only my Zhong Family had a Middle Rank Ironclad Corpse guard, Fan Hong, you child, would you still dare to speak to like this?
