Chapter 56: Jiang Yan: Pass on my order, seal off Shenying Bio! (Seeking

"Mr. Jiang is a man of profound knowledge. The Spirit Grass in my possession was acquired from the black market. It is said to have been formed by the mutation of blood dripped by a Spirit Man as it fled in a panic, and it contains the essence of flora."

"An ordinary person who consumes it can extend their life by two years, a Transcendent-stage practitioner can gain three to four months of lifespan, but it is ineffective for those at the Old Record level."

At this point, Gong Yuntao gave a bitter smile: "Originally, this was a means I intended to use to recruit a guest elder at the Dao Foundation stage. Now, as long as I can exchange it for my grandson, it is a great deed."

"I beg you, please save my son!" the young woman said, sobbing.

Her husband at her side sighed, his face full of self-reproach: "It’s all my fault. If only I had kept an eye on Pengpeng."

Jiang Yan did not rush to respond, but instead glanced at the Transcendents behind Gong Yuntao and asked, "Are these all guest elders of your family?"

"No, because I was anxious, I put out a bounty. These are enthusiastic practitioners who were willing to help; we can cooperate," Gong Yuntao explained.

Jiang Yan gave him a deep look and said indifferently, "Send them back. There isn't enough Spirit Grass for so many people to share. My presence alone is enough for this mission."

"Arrogant. Boss Gong, don't look at the official signboard as if it's everything. Most of these young people are wet behind the ears and unreliable in their work."

Among the History Walkers behind him, a sturdy man with his arms crossed said coldly.

He had worked hard to rush here and had spent ages sweet-talking to convince the other party.

Why should the officials show up, do absolutely nothing,

and then try to snatch the peach with a single sentence?

At the very least, they should show some respect, scratch each other's backs, and then let Gong Yuntao pay them a sum of money before politely seeing them off, right?

As soon as he finished speaking, he met Jiang Yan's eyes.

Calm, indifferent, like the abyss of the ocean floor.

In an instant, he felt as if his heart had been gripped by an invisible giant hand, tightening suddenly, causing him to choke for breath.

The fear and helplessness in his heart were infinitely magnified at this moment, eroding his reason, instantly destroying his psychological defenses, and causing his spiritual energy to collapse.

Thump!

The man could not bear the pressure and collapsed to his knees, soaked in sweat as if he had just been fished out of water.

An invisible Mind-Ape arm slowly withdrew from his body.

Mind-Ape Technique—Eye of Truth!

He looked at Jiang Yan, his expression as if he had seen a ghost, and said with a trembling voice:

"Dao Foundation!"

He had thought that because he looked young, he was just a kid at the Spirit Opening stage, never expecting that he was...

Dao Foundation stage!

Don't look at the Dao Foundation as merely the second stage of the Transcendent path; its spirituality is highly condensed, and it can already contend with thermal weapons.

Most ordinary History Walkers without a faction or heritage find it very difficult to cross this threshold.

Being able to reach the Dharma Seed stage is enough to establish a small force and become a local powerhouse.

Seeing this, a look of joy flashed in Gong Yuntao's eyes.

The man came to his senses, his expression fearful, and he hurriedly said:

"You represent the authorities; you cannot kill wild History Walkers at will, or it will cause panic. My lord, you are a magnanimous person, please just treat me like a fart and let me go."

When the veneer of civilization is stripped away, the law of the jungle is the only truth.

Jiang Yan took a slow sip of tea, looked at the other's Life Lamp, and asked, "Did you register with the History Correction Bureau before?"

"No... not yet..." the middle-aged man answered, stuttering.

"Oh, then never mind."

Jiang Yan's voice rang out, making the man heave a sigh of relief, but he hadn't even had time to feel happy.

He saw dense threads of blood sweep over, wrapping him up and dragging him into a coffin to be buried.

The action was so fast that no one had time to react, and a chill ran down their spines.

No wonder he said "never mind,"

after all, what is there to argue about with a dead man?

Jiang Yan turned his head and said to Zhao Yinman, "Have the Bureau look into a guy named Lou Ming. He was active in the northern part of Jiangnan Province and committed quite a few crimes. His nickname is 'The Unstained Mud.' I executed him on the spot. Once it's confirmed, deposit the bounty into my account."

This guy's Life Lamp was filled with black mist, laden with evil deeds, and he hadn't even registered with the History Correction Bureau.

A sure kill every time.

Sure enough, after being burned slightly by the Lamp of Ashes, he confessed everything.

He was an old mountain bandit who killed and robbed.

What's more, I haven't joined the History Correction Bureau, so I need to be cautious.

If I still have to be cautious after joining, wouldn't I have come for nothing?

Of course, the procedure still has to be followed.

Zhao Yinman said "Oh" and began to write the report.

Jiang Yan took a curious peek and discovered that she had written: [Lou Ming resisted maliciously and was killed while resisting arrest.]

He had a strange expression.

Because Lou Ming had indeed struggled a bit just now; after all, who wouldn't resist when faced with life and death?

But it was... consistent with the facts.

This girl is a talent for being a court historian!

"And you all..."

Subsequently, Jiang Yan looked at the remaining Transcendents, who were shivering.

Even if there was a Dao Foundation stage practitioner among them, he dared not clash with such a young genius, as it would easily turn him into a stepping stone.

However,

Jiang Yan only asked the same question, and after confirming that no one was lying, he let them leave.

After finishing all this.

Jiang Yan looked at Gong Yuntao and asked, "Do you have any personal items belonging to the child?"

"Yes!"

Gong Yuntao's expression was agitated, and he hurriedly signaled his daughter-in-law with his eyes.

"This is something Pengpeng had with him before he disappeared." The young woman took out a monster toy and handed it to Jiang Yan, her expression nervous.

She had already pinned all her hopes on this young man.

Jiang Yan picked up the toy. The reason he was confident in completing this mission was that he could search for missing targets through causality and destiny.

Calamity Qi swirled in his eyes, allowing him to see the threads of Calamity Qi spreading from it.

He whispered in his heart: "My eyes and ears, search the entire city."

The shadow beneath his feet twisted, transforming into shadow-winged snakes that flew out silently.

They followed the threads of Calamity Qi connected to the toy and began to trace the source.

Jiang Yan had thought it would be a time-consuming and laborious task, but unexpectedly...

He locked onto the location very quickly.

A building a few hundred meters away, not far from here.

It had a square shape, refracting golden light under the sun like a golden seal, and its top supported a red sphere, as if it were holding up the sun.

The shadow soldiers were blocked by an invisible force and were unable to land on the top floor.

It was not difficult to break through, but it would easily alert the enemy.

Jiang Yan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and pointed at the building, asking:

"Which company is this?"

Gong Yuntao looked in the direction he pointed, and upon focusing his eyes, his pupils shrank to the size of needle points, and he said in a deep voice:

"That is Shenying Bio, a large multinational biological research institution. It is an industry invested in by the Baiying Island Nation in Hangcheng. It is rumored that its backing is an Old Record-level Transcendent force."

Gong Yuntao was not a fool, and a bad premonition arose in his heart: "Do you mean..."

Jiang Yan said: "Your grandson is right there."

"How can that be!?"

Gong Yuntao was shocked, his original anger turning into hesitation.

The son at his side clenched his fists, wanting to speak but stopping, finally holding it back.

Gong's daughter-in-law's face turned pale; she also understood the significance of the Old Record level and pleaded: "Dad, Pengpeng is the only seedling of our family, you must bring him back!"

"Let me think..."

Gong Yuntao waved his hand, his expression dejected, and he suddenly looked much older.

Although the other party was the one who struck first, so what?

He knew the terror of the Old Record level well; a single finger could crush him countless times.

Even if it were just a force under their command used for gathering wealth, he could not shake it in the slightest even if he risked everything.

This is the sorrow of the weak.

Thinking of this, Gong Yuntao took a deep breath and apologized to Jiang Yan and Zhao Yinman:

"I am sorry, you two. It seems this mission can only be shelved for now. I will go find a way to negotiate. Later, I will give you both one million each as travel expenses..."

"It's not up to you now."

Jiang Yan interrupted him and said indifferently: "There may be other missing children in there, and their parents are also waiting for them to come home.

All you need to do is cooperate. If you hinder us from striking against black-hearted evil forces, I can assume that you are in collusion with them, and I will settle the account for everything later."

After seeking help from the History Correction Bureau and then finding wild History Walkers, it could still be understood as being desperate and seeking help blindly.

But now he still wanted to treat them as people he could summon at will.

They fear the other transcendent factions, yet they do not revere the most powerful History Correction Bureau.

They fear power but do not cherish virtue.

It is truly because this group of wealthy people has been spoiled!

"..."

Gong Yuntao was left speechless by the retort.

This is a case of it being easy to invite a god but difficult to send one away!

Jiang Yan ignored him, took out his phone, and dialed a number:

"Hello, I am Jiang Yan, Acting Commander of the Pan'an Branch of the History Correction Bureau. I am applying to seal off the entire Shenying Building."

"The reason? I suspect that a dark transcendent organization inside is using human children for research. My requirement is... do not let a single fly escape."

Today, it is not just for the mission reward, but even more so for those children who suffered for no reason.

He is going to stage a small indulgence of power!

Seeking monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and follow-up reads!
