The jungles of Northern Myanmar are, after all, a poor and backward area, and the mountain paths are challenging to traverse. Transporting the giant snake required refrigerated trucks, and even with Gan Lei's influence, it took three days before the vehicles were all arranged.
In this idle ti, Yang Yinhou, the once formidable National Army Major General who had shaken Northern Myanmar, personally selected and trained these elite soldiers who had consud snake at for one day. anwhile, Ge Dongxu went to the Sky Pit to make so arrangents, including setting up several illusion arrays, completely concealing the Sky Pit to prevent it from being discovered by outsiders.
What a personage Yang Yinhou is—even such a short-term intensive training greatly benefited these soldiers.
However, even so, the standard of these n was still far from eting Ge Dongxu and Yang Yinhou's requirents. Therefore, they unanimously decided that after their return, they would command Ouyang Murong to co and give these n rigorous training.
On the third day, while the trucks were still en route, Ge Dongxu sent soone to summon Sexin.
Sexin, who was already 86 years old, had operated along the Thai-Myanmar border in his early years and had heard of Yang Yinhou's reputation. Upon learning that the General Yang from World War II, who had struck terror into the Japanese military in Northern Myanmar, was a disciple of his benefactor Ren Yao and a fellow disciple of Ge Dongxu, Sexin was quite startled.
It took Sexin quite a while to express his feelings with great emotion, "No wonder General Yang is so formidable; he is a direct disciple of the benefactor. Had I known earlier, I would have gone to serve under the General's command."
"Haha, the ways of the world are full of such serendipity. But speaking of formidable, it is my junior brother here who is truly formidable. I, as the senior brother, pale in comparison to him," Yang Yinhou said with a laugh.
"If even General Yang says so, then it goes without saying for ," Sexin said, sharing the sentint deeply.
While they were talking, Gan Lei ca in to report, "Master Ge, General Yang, we've got all the trucks ready."
"Hmm, send away the drivers and replace them with our people. Then, load up all the stuff here onto the trucks," Ge Dongxu nodded and directed.
"As you command, Master Ge," Gan Lei replied with a salute.
"Sexin, I have settled my affairs here, and if you've got no other matters, co with today to pay homage to our late master," Ge Dongxu said.
"I have been prepared for a while and was only waiting for Senior Ge's arrangent," Sexin hurriedly replied with respect upon hearing this.
Ge Dongxu nodded, then said, "Well then, let's go outside and take a look, and lend a hand while we're at it."
"Yes," Sexin replied respectfully again, always maintaining the deference due to a junior.
Ge Dongxu didn't stand on ceremony with Sexin.
His master had once saved Sexin and his son and had given guidance to Sexin's father; if one were to speak of it, he indeed deserved the address of a senior.
The three of them left the house together and ca to an open area.
At that mont, the soldiers were busy loading chests of treasure chests and segnted parts of the giant snake's body onto the trucks.
Seeing the chests full of treasure and segnts of the giant snake, Sexin's eyes lit up, but he did not show any signs of greed or inappropriate thoughts.
Ge Dongxu and Yang Yinhou exchanged glances and nodded slightly to each other.
"These treasure chests contain treasures buried by the Japanese in the jungle during World War II, and the giant snake was killed by in the Sky Pit," Ge Dongxu casually explained.
"Thank goodness it was a senior who went down into the pit. If it had been , encountering that huge snake below with nowhere to run, I would have probably ended up in the snake's belly," Sexin said with a hint of relief.
"Your cultivation has reached the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, and ordinary snakes wouldn't pose much of a challenge, but facing that one, a mont of carelessness could indeed have sent you into its stomach," Ge Dongxu said with a smile, nodding, and then gave Gan Lei a aningful look.
Gan Lei was sharp and imdiately grasped Ge Dongxu's intention, pulling out his pistol and firing two shots at the snake.
Sparks flew, but there were no bullet holes on the snake's body.
Sexin's words just now had been modest and intended as a complint to Ge Dongxu; seeing Gan Lei fire twice without harming the snake at all, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, sincerely relieved that he had encountered Ge Dongxu and avoided this disaster.
Otherwise, if he had t such an invulnerable huge snake at the bottom of the Sky Pit, it wouldn't matter that his cultivation was only at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer; even soone at the Sixth or Seventh Layer would likely have had slim chances of survival.
"Senior, you've saved my life!" After a while, Sexin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and bowed deeply to Ge Dongxu.
Ge Dongxu simply smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
While they spoke, Ge Dongxu occasionally lent a hand, and soon all the items were loaded onto the truck.
Seeing that everything was ready, Ge Dongxu called Gan Lei over, gave him so thorough instructions, and then, with Yang Yinhou and Sexin, boarded a military jeep and left the valley with the truck.
As the vehicle made its way through the jungle mountain road, leaving Gan Lei's area of control, they entered the Fourth Special Region of Shan State.
The Fourth Special Region was under Chairman Lin's control; Ge Dongxu had t him several tis on his last visit to Myanmar.
In the Fourth Special Region, with Ge Dongxu and the distinguished veteran General Yang Yinhou present, who would dare hinder or trouble them?
Not only did no one dare to cause them trouble, but the key figures of the Fourth Special Region, upon hearing that Ge Dongxu and General Yang were passing through, even ca out to et them in Mongla especially.
However, Ge Dongxu didn't linger in Mongla, but rely t with Chairman Lin and others for a brief exchange before continuing on from Mongla toward the border checkpoint.
"Director Ge, General Yang!" No sooner had the vehicle stopped than a familiar face appeared in front of Ge Dongxu—it was Xu Lei, head of the Jiangnan Province Special Ability Managent Bureau, with Ma Xiaoshuai standing behind him.
"What brings you here?" Ge Dongxu asked, seeing Xu Lei and Ma Xiaoshuai with a smile on his face.
"Director Fan had sothing co up and couldn't leave, but he was worried that the people here had not t you before and might delay your matters, so he sent to co over and follow your orders," Xu Lei replied.
"Hmm, Director Fan has considered this matter carefully. It will be much more convenient for with you here to help," Ge Dongxu said, nodding in approval.
Since Xu Lei and Ma Xiaoshuai were not only his colleagues but also his disciples in a sense, Ge Dongxu trusted them completely, which naturally made things much easier.
"Let introduce you, this is Xu Lei, who is also a mber of the Qin, and this is Sexin, a master from Thailand," Ge Dongxu said after briefly speaking with Xu Lei, then introduced them.
Being with the Special Ability Managent Bureau, Xu Lei naturally had so background knowledge about Sexin; having felt Sexin seed familiar just now, Ge Dongxu's introduction made it clear that he was facing the renowned Sexin from the Thai Qin, a National Master-level figure. Furthermore, several of his disciples were prominent in the Thai comrce, political, and military circles, making him a true heavyweight in Thailand. Xu Lei was inwardly startled and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, saying, "Master Sexin, I have long admired your reputation!"
