Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 676 - 432: The Reason

Chapter 676 -432: The Reason

Two hours later, on the academy’s drill ground.

“Assemble!”

“This training camp is now over. You have thirty minutes to gather your personal belongings and prepare to leave!”

A crowd gathered, and as the command was issued, a buzz of astonishment swept through the ranks.

“What…?”

“What’s going on?”

“How can it just end like that?”

“Could there be some urgent mission?”

“I’ve only just managed to refine my True Qi!”

The crowd was confused, but seeing the instructor’s demeanor, they dared not speak further and could only obediently disperse.

“This…”

“The Security Bureau?”

“A full withdrawal?”

“What happened?”

Half an hour later, Luo Yun and other “fee-paying class” students, who had heard the news and come, watched the bus drive away from the academy, equally bewildered.

Meanwhile, at Longhai Security Bureau, in the director’s office.

“This is outrageous!”

Nie Hailong slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, “Who authorized them to do this?”

“I don’t know.”

Ning Qing shook her head and sighed, “But Qianjin was clearly provoked by them. He has sent all our Security Bureau trainees back and wants to terminate our cooperation. To avoid further provoking him, I had no choice but to pull everyone out for now.”

In her voice, there was nothing but helplessness.

Although the Security Bureau had shown much sincerity in this cooperation, most of their contributions were procedural conveniences rather than substantial investment. Everything pertaining to the academy’s development was funded and completed by Qianjin himself.

The Security Bureau only did two things: they provided official backing and handled all kinds of procedures, and they supplied teaching staff for military training. These were important, yet not important at the same time.

So now, with the two sides facing off, Qianjin’s demand for them to leave left them with no room to argue or refuse, because that was indeed Qianjin’s place—morally, legally, it was so.

Of course, that wasn’t really the point. Issues of morality and law were not the reasons for the Security Bureau.

Their withdrawal had only one reason: they didn’t want to escalate the conflict with Qianjin.

That was the only action Ning Qing could take.

As for the rest…

“Ye Chen!”

“The Ye Family!”

Nie Hailong’s hands slammed the table again, his expression darkening, “What are they trying to do?”

In his words, there was puzzlement!

The Ye Family was a top-tier wealthy family in the Eastern Capital, wielding enormous power in the Federation; otherwise, how could Ye Chen, at his age, have secured a seat as an Eastern Capital councilor.

With such a background, their actions seemed justifiable on the surface since deceit and grabbing opportunities were part of elite family traits. Acts of second-generation descendants snatching benefits were common and no longer surprising.

But there were distinctions in whom to deceive and take from!

Who was Qianjin?

Considering the methods, influence, and future potential he had displayed…

Anyone with a brain would not target him for their schemes, for even though some benefit could be gained, it would also sow the seeds of a great hidden danger and create a formidable enemy.

The losses outweighed the gains; the wise wouldn’t engage in such acts.

Did the Ye Family have brains?

Undoubtedly they did; otherwise, they wouldn’t be in such a position.

So why did they send Ye Chen to do such a nearly humiliating act?

What was their purpose?

And what about the Security General Bureau and the Federation’s higher-ups? Were they also shortsighted and blinded by greed, allowing the Ye Family to act with such impunity?

It was incomprehensible!

Nie Hailong’s brow furrowed, and he looked at Ning Qing, “What was that little bastard from the Ye Family’s reaction?”

“No reaction, he just left.”

Ning Qing shook her head and said gravely, “But clearly they won’t let things rest.”

“…”

Nie Hailong was silent for a while, without comment.

Seeing this, Ning Qing grew more anxious, “Director, are we just going to let them continue like this?”

“…”

Nie Hailong remained silent, offering no response.

This made Ning Qing even more frantic, “Qianjin’s value is evident to all. With his help during this time, not a single one of our new recruits has died. They’ve all begun cultivating the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Great Skills. Which other branch of the Security Ninth Bureau or the Federation’s departments can match this achievement?”

“His medical skills, his pills, and the tremendous reputation he has built through live streaming…”

“I understand this person; he will definitely not submit to the Ye Family. If we really push him to become an adversary, not only will we lose an outstanding partner, but we will also gain an enemy with boundless potential and damage the reputation and authority of the federal agencies.”

“Director!”

Ning Qing looked at Nie Hailong with an extremely serious tone, “Can we afford such consequences?”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Nie Hailong finally turned to his assistant, “Prepare a plane immediately. I need to make a trip back to the Eastern Capital.”

“Yes!”

The assistant nodded and turned to leave.

Nie Hailong glanced back at Ning Qing, “Try to stabilize the situation before I return, pacify Qianjin to prevent him from acting rashly. We will give him an explanation. As for the Ye Family… don’t concern yourself with them until I return.”

“…”

Ning Qing fell silent for a moment before responding, “Understood!”

…

Elsewhere, deep in the wilderness, inside Mingxiao Taoist Temple.

Beneath the Ancestor Master’s Altar, Xu Yang sat alone, his hands conjuring Spirit Light, grinding like a mirror.

In just a short while, the Sprit Light mysteriously ground open, revealing a world of illusions like flowers in a mirror, the moon in the water.

It was precisely the art of the Spirit Eyes Myterious Light from the Heavenly Secrets Taoism!

In the Xuan Guang Mirror, the following scene emerged.

“Father, it’s just as you expected; that Qianjin is incredibly arrogant. He doesn’t take our Ye Family seriously at all!”

In the Xuan Guang Mirror, Ye Chen spoke into a computer, apparently on a video call, “Looking at this, the man must possess an extraordinary fortune that gives him such confidence to stand against our Ye Family.”

“Of course!”

On the video call, a middle-aged man’s figure emerged, carrying a demeanor of composure, “Half a year ago, he was nondescript and led an unremarkable life. But after the Red Moon, he rose abruptly, showing many extraordinary traits and causing quite a stir. Without some backing, how could he dare to do so?”

“The Red Moon!”

Agreeing, Ye Chen added, “I’ve heard that the night of the Red Moon is the sign of the Heavenly Demon, caused by the disturbance of heaven and earth. All the Great Cavern Heavens and Blessed Lands, even the Immortal Sanctuary Buddha Domain, would be impacted, releasing numerous treasures. This man must have obtained such a fortune, enabling him to rise swiftly and make a name for himself.”

“Hmm!”

The middle-aged man nodded, “Based on his performance, his fortune is surely related to Pill Origin and medicine. Maybe even cultivation techniques and Beast Taming Skills, which is why he grandly promotes farming, breeding, and raising livestock in the countryside!”

After speaking, he sighed, his expression gradually turning somber.

“With the world changing and demonic signs increasing, the unsealing of the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands is inevitable. Stubborn resistance goes against the Heavenly Dao, and one will surely face the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Law. Even meritorious deeds might not mitigate it.”

“Our Ye Family, a lineage of Fulong Mountain, though we have entered the world many times to Slaughter Demons, accumulating great merits, we can hardly withstand the will of heaven. At most, in fifty years, the Blessed Land of Fulong Mountain will unseal.”

“Fulong Mountain is an Artifact Refining Sect, not skilled in Alchemy or the Yuan Sprit Skills. Once the Blessed Land collapses, cultivation will undoubtedly become difficult.”

“This man has such fortune; perhaps he might extend the cultivation lineage of our sect!”

“The ancestors are already aware of this matter, and now with the confirmation, we must capture him!”

“However, since he dares to resist, he must have his reliance. Do not underestimate him. I will immediately dispatch people to Longhai. Do not act recklessly, wait for your second and third uncles to arrive before capturing him.”

“Understood!”

After exchanging words, they revealed many secrets.

Xu Yang held onto the Myterious Light and watched the two in the mirror, smiling with satisfaction.

The fish has taken the bait!

Though the Security Bureau could stave off most jackals, it could not fend off the upper-level dragons.

Xu Yang had long anticipated that as time progressed, his influence would grow larger, entangling more interests, and eventually, the Security Bureau’s protection would lose its effect, turning it into a mere hound sharing their spoils with others.

There was no helping it, as interests motivate people, and flesh beckons the beastly nature, the same story throughout history.

Therefore, he had to dangle another piece of tiger’s skin to deter these greed-blinded jackals and hungry tigers.

But this kind of tiger’s skin couldn’t be flaunted directly; it needed an opportunity, a catalyst, to rise with the tide and exert its greatest effect.

The Ye Family was this opportunity, this catalyst!

And there was even an unexpected bonus.

From the conversation between the father and son of the Ye Family, combined with the information Xu Yang had gathered himself, the foundation and motives of the Ye Family became clearly laid out.

As a powerful family from the Eastern Capital, holding considerable authority within the Federation, behind them stood an enormous entity, a behemoth—to ordinary people at least.

Ancient Sect – Fulong Mountain!

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

While merely a Blessed Land-level Ancient Sect, being an Ancient Sect was still enough to sustain a family at the pinnacle of mundane power.

With Fulong Mountain’s support, the Ye Family naturally held significant power.

Unfortunately, the world changes, and as time goes by, Fulong Mountain now finds itself on the brink.

The Desire Realm watches eagerly; the Red Moon’s demonic signs have triggered the response of this world’s Heavenly Dao.

In a world, the higher the level, the more manifest the Heavenly Dao.

This world, capable of nurturing a Heavenly Immortal, has an imaginable rank, and the power of the Heavenly Dao needs no further elaboration.

Those Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, which locked away the Heavenly Earth Prime Spirits for their own benefits, have long been marked by the Heavenly Dao. With increased demonic disturbances and an ever intensifying destiny, the karmic burden deepens, constituting a blatant defiance of the Heavenly Dao.

Thus, all major Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands have been dispatching descendants, incarnating into the world to Slaughtering Demons and gaining merits, to ensure their Cave Heavens do not collapse and their Blessed Lands do not crumble.

But as time goes on, with the increasing demonic disturbances, these merits are no longer sufficient. In recent years, many Blessed Lands have collapsed, transforming into existences like the Ye Family.

Now, Fulong Mountain has reached this critical juncture, with at most fifty years before its Blessed Land collapses.

Once the Blessed Land collapses, the Spiritual Energy becomes scarce, and without it, cultivation will inevitably cease. And since Fulong Mountain is an Artifact Refining Sect, not adept in Alchemy Cauldron or Yuan Spirit Skills, once disaster strikes, cultivation will become even more challenging.

So, Xu Yang has become their target.

There was no choice; Xu Yang was too prominent, practically advertising “I possess Elixir Skills fortune” and with the spread of the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Great Skills, he was a set of cultivation tools for the mortal world.

Thus, how could the Ye Family and Fulong Mountain not be tempted?

Not only the Ye Family and Fulong Mountain, but those in the Eastern Capital likely harbored the same intentions, otherwise, why would they tacitly condone the Ye Family’s actions?

Once the Ye Family succeeds and reaps the benefits, they must share a portion with them, satisfying everyone involved.

Therefore, the current situation has arisen!

Jackals and vicious tigers, baring their fangs and claws!

What should be done?

Naturally, it is…

“Taiyi!”
