Chapter 56: Jiang Yan: Issue My Order, Seal Off the Divine Cherry Organisms

"Mr. Jiang, your knowledge is profound. The Ginseng Man Herb in my possession was acquired from the black market; it is said to have mutated after the Ginseng Man, in its panicked flight, dropped blood, and it contains the essence of plants and trees."

"Ordinary people who eat it can extend their life by two years; those of the Transcendent rank can extend it by three to four months; it is ineffective for those of the Old Talisman rank."

Speaking thus, Gong Gong Yuntao smiled bitterly: "Originally, this was a means for me to recruit a Foundation Realm guest elder; now, as long as I can get my grandson back, it is a great good."

"I beg you, save my son!" the young woman sobbed.

The husband beside her sighed, his face full of self-reproach: "It is all my fault; if only I had kept Pengpeng under watch."

Jiang Yan did not rush to respond, but looked at the Transcendent behind Gong Gong Yuntao and asked: "Are these all your family's guest elders?"

"No, I was anxious, so I released a bounty; these are some enthusiastic cultivators willing to help; we can cooperate," Gong Gong Yuntao explained.

Jiang Yan looked at him deeply, then said lightly: "Let them return; the Ginseng Man Herb is not enough for so many to share; for this mission, having me is enough."

"Arrogant! Boss Gong, do not look at the official title as large, but young people mostly have no hair on their lips and cannot handle affairs reliably."

Among the History Walkers behind him, a burly man crossed his arms and said coldly.

He had rushed here with great effort, deceiving for a long time, only to persuade the other party.

On what grounds does the official arrive, do nothing at all,

and with one sentence want to pluck the peaches?

At least they should be given a little face, mutually lift the sedan chair, then Gong Gong Yuntao gives a sum of money, and they are asked to leave with good words?"

As soon as the words fell, he met Jiang Yan's eyes.

Calm, indifferent, like the deep abyss of the sea.

In an instant, he felt his heart as if grasped by an invisible giant hand, suddenly tightening, the pain making him unable to catch his breath.

The fear and incompetence in his heart were infinitely magnified at this moment, eroding reason, instantly destroying his psychological defense, and his entire spiritual energy disintegrated.

Thud!

The man, unable to bear the burden, fell to his knees on the ground, his body soaked in sweat, as if just pulled from the water.

An invisible Mind-Monkey arm slowly withdrew from within him.

Mind-Monkey Method — Gaze of Truth!

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

"Foundation Realm!"

He had thought, seeing his youth, that he was just a boy of the Spirit-Opening Realm, but he turned out to be...

Foundation Realm!

Do not look down on the Foundation Realm as merely the second stage of Transcendence; its spiritual nature is highly condensed and can already contend with thermal weapons.

Most ordinary History Walkers without power or inheritance find it very difficult to cross this threshold.

Those who reach the Dharma Seed can establish small powers and become local strongmen.

Seeing this, a flash of joy passed through Gong Gong Yuntao's eyes.

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

"You represent the official; you cannot kill wild History Walkers at will, otherwise it will cause panic. My lord, you are generous; treat me as a fart and let me go."

When the cloak of civilization is stripped away, the strong devouring the weak is the only principle.

Jiang Yan sipped his tea slowly and calmly, looking at the other's life lamp, and asked: "Did you register with the History Correction Bureau before?"

"No... not yet..." the middle-aged man stammered in reply.

"Oh, then forget it."

Jiang Yan's voice sounded, making the man sigh with relief, not yet having time to feel joy.

Only to see dense blood threads sweep over, wrapping him up, dragging him into the coffin to be buried.

The speed of the action left everyone unable to react, their spines turning cold.

No wonder he said forget it;

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

Jiang Yan turned his head and said to Zhao Zhao Yinman: "Have the bureau check out a fellow named Lou Ming, who was active in the northern part of Jiangnan Province before, committed many cases, with the nickname 【Unstained by Mud】, and was executed on the spot by me; once confirmed, deposit the bounty into my account."

This fellow had black qi spreading over his life lamp, heavy with evil karma, and had not yet gone to the History Correction Bureau to register.

One kill, one sure hit.

As expected, slightly burned by the Lamp of Ashes, he confessed everything.

He was an old mountain bandit who killed people and intercepted goods.

Moreover, I have not joined the History Correction Bureau; I need to be cautious.

If I have to be cautious even after joining, then did I not come here for nothing?

Of course, the procedure still needs to be followed.

Zhao Zhao Yinman made an "Oh" sound and began writing the report.

Jiang Yan glanced curiously and found she had written: 【Lou Ming maliciously resisted, killed while resisting arrest.】

His expression was strange.

Because just now Lou Ming did struggle a bit; after all, in the face of life and death, who does not resist?

But it... conformed to the facts.

This fellow is a talent for being a historian!

"And you..."

Afterwards, Jiang Yan looked at the remaining Transcendents; the latter trembled with fear.

Even though one of them was of the Foundation Realm, none dared to conflict with such a young genius, as they would easily become stepping stones.

However,

Jiang Yan simply asked the same question, and after confirming no one lied, he let them leave.

After finishing all this.

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

"Yes!"

Gong Gong Yuntao, his expression agitated, quickly signaled with his eyes to the daughter-in-law behind him.

"These are the things Pengpeng had with him before he disappeared." The young woman handed a monster toy to Jiang Yan, her expression tense.

They had already pinned all their hopes on this young man.

Jiang Yan picked up the toy; the reason he was confident in completing this task was that he could search for missing targets through cause-and-effect and fortune.

Calamity Qi flowed 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.

Following the threads of calamity Qi connected to the toy, they began to trace the source.

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

the location was locked down very quickly.

A building a few hundred meters away, not far off.

Its shape was square, refracting golden light under the sunlight like a golden seal, and its top held a red sphere, as if holding up the sun.

The shadow soldiers and horses were blocked by an invisible force and could not land on the top floor.

It would not be difficult to break through, but it would easily startle the snake.

Jiang Yan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, pointing at the building and asked:

"Which company is this?"

Gong Gong Yuntao looked in that direction, focused his gaze, and his pupils shrank to the size of needle points. He said in a deep voice:

"That is Divine Cherry Biology, a large multinational biological research institution. It is an investment by the White Cherry Island Nation in Hangcheng. Rumor has it that its backing is an Extraordinary power of the Old Talisman level."

Gong Gong Yuntao was no fool; a bad premonition arose in his heart: "What you mean is..."

Jiang Yan said, "Your grandson is in there."

"How could that be!?"

Gong Gong Yuntao turned pale with shock; his original anger turned into hesitation and indecision.

The son beside him clenched his fist, wanting to speak but holding back, finally swallowing his words.

The Gong family daughter-in-law, her face pale, also understood the significance of the Old Talisman and pleaded, "Father, Pengpeng is our only child; you must bring him back!"

"Let me think..."

Gong Gong Yuntao waved his hand, his expression despondent, instantly appearing much older.

Although the other party struck first, so what?

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

Even if it were just a faction under its command that gathered wealth, he could not shake it by a hair's breadth even if he gave his all.

This is the sorrow of the weak.

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

"I'm sorry, you two. It seems this task must be postponed for now. I will try to negotiate. Later, I will give each of you one million as travel expenses..."

"You have no choice now."

Jiang Yan cut him off and said calmly, "There may be other missing children inside, and there are parents waiting for them to return home.

All you need to do is cooperate. If you hinder us in cracking down on evil forces, I can consider that you are colluding with them, and we will settle accounts with you later."

Seeking help from the History Correction Bureau and then finding wild History Walkers could be understood as a desperate attempt.

But now you want to summon them at will and dismiss them at will.

You fear other Extraordinary powers but do not revere the most powerful History Correction Bureau.

You fear power but do not cherish virtue.

Truly, these rich people have been spoiled!

"..."

Gong Gong Yuntao was left speechless by the rebuttal.

This is: inviting a god is easy, but sending him away is hard!

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 request to seal off the entire Divine Cherry Building."

"As for the reason, I suspect there is a dark Extraordinary organization inside conducting research on human children. My requirement is... not even a fly is to escape."

Today, it is not only for the task reward, but also for those children who suffered for no reason.

He was about to stage a small act of willful abuse of power!

Requesting monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and follow-reads!
