Chapter 2468: Long history

As the old man was given psychological hints by Ye Chen, Ye Chen went straight to the point and questioned, "What is your name, and what is your status in the organization?"

The old man said humbly, "My name is Duan Liye, and I serve as a special envoy in the Right Army Governor's Office."

"Right Army Governor's Office?" Ye Chen frowned and asked him, "What kind of institution is this Right Army Governor's Office?"

Duan Liye replied respectfully, "The English Lord follows the Ming Dynasty system and established the Five Army Governor's Offices, which are the Central Army Governor's Office, the Left Army Governor's Office, the Right Army Governor's Office, the Front Army Governor's Office, and the Rear Army Governor's Office. After hundreds of years of development to this day, each Governor's Office is now responsible for the specific affairs of the organization in one continent. According to the Chinese traditional habit of sitting north and facing south, with Asia as the center, Europe is right, the Americas are left, Oceania is front, and although Africa is also on the left wing, because its strategic significance is not very important, it is listed as rear."

Ye Chen was horrified in his heart. He had long expected that this mysterious organization would be a powerful behemoth, but after listening to Duan Liye's introduction, he realized that the organization's influence had truly achieved global coverage.

Global coverage is a capability that all top financial groups currently known do not possess.

The Rothschild family has been deeply cultivated for so many years, and they have only consolidated their foundation in Europe and North America. As for the other continents, they have at most some capital infiltration, and it is difficult to expand their real power to other continents.

As for the Saudi royal family, it goes without saying that their power is basically concentrated in the Middle East, and they cannot even influence East Asia.

The An family, which ranks third, has a relatively smaller sphere of influence, almost all concentrated in the United States.

Thinking of this, he looked at Duan Liye and asked the question that had existed in his heart for a long time, "What is the name of your organization?"

Duan Liye said, "The organization is called the Poqing Society."

"Poqing Society?" Ye Chen couldn't help frowning, "Is it similar to the 'Anti-Qing and Restore Ming' meaning mentioned by the Heaven and Earth Society in martial arts novels?"

"Yes," Duan Liye nodded, "But the history of the Poqing Society is more than ten years earlier than the Heaven and Earth Society. The Poqing Society was established in 1644 when the Qing army entered the customs. The real Heaven and Earth Society was established around 1660 by the Ming general Chen Yonghua under the instruction of Zheng Chenggong. This Chen Yonghua is the prototype of Chen Jinnan in later martial arts novels."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Since the Poqing Society is earlier than the Heaven and Earth Society, why have I never heard of this name?"

Duan Liye explained, "That's because in the first twenty years of the Poqing Society's establishment, it was just an inconspicuous folk organization. Moreover, the Qing army was powerful at that time, and until the demise of the Southern Ming, the Poqing Society did not grow and strengthen. Instead, it was on the verge of extinction several times. After the Southern Ming was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty, the members of the Poqing Society fled all the way to Southeast Asia to develop secretly. After four hundred years of development, it has today's scale. And since the Poqing Society went to Nanyang, it has never raised the banner of 'Anti-Qing and Restore Ming' again."

As he spoke, Duan Liye added, "It is said that even the successive English Lords felt that the name of the Poqing Society was indeed not true to its name, so later even the successive English Lords rarely mentioned this name. Nowadays, only some relatively core personnel of the Poqing Society know this history."

Ye Chen already knew from 547 that this organization had a history of at least two or three hundred years. Now that he learned that the organization had been established for more than four hundred years, he didn't feel very surprised, so he asked, "Is your Right Army Governor's Office located in Turkey?"

"No," Duan Liye shook his head, "For the sake of safety, the Right Army Governor's Office rotates among European countries, changing countries every three years. Nowadays, the Governor's Office has rotated to Italy."

Ye Chen asked again, "Do you know the specific location in Italy?"

"I don't know," Duan Liye shook his head, "Although I am a special envoy of the Right Army Governor's Office in Turkey, I have been waiting in Turkey for so many years since I left the Huben Camp."

Ye Chen asked him, "What is the Huben Camp?"

Duan Liye explained, "The Huben Camp is a place within the organization specifically for cultivating high-level martial artists. Only martial artists who have opened all eight meridians have the opportunity to enter the Huben Camp for further studies."

Ye Chen nodded and said indifferently, "Give me an in-depth introduction to this Huben Camp."

Duan Liye said, "The Huben Camp grades everyone according to their strength and aptitude. There are four levels: A, B, C, and D. If you are rated as D-level, you can stay in the Huben Camp for ten years. After ten years, you must leave the Huben Camp and accept other appointments. If you can reach C-level, you can stay in the Huben Camp for twenty years. If you can reach B-level, you can stay in the Huben Camp for thirty years. If you can reach A-level, you can stay for forty years or even longer. I was rated as A and C at that time and stayed in the Huben Camp for a full twenty years."

Ye Chen asked, "What are the benefits of joining the Huben Camp for you?"

Duan Liye explained, "There are many benefits to joining the Huben Camp. First of all, joining the Huben Camp means you are a relatively core member of the organization, and your status is medium to high. Secondly, after joining the Huben Camp, you can have Transformation Realm experts as instructors to teach you personally and get complete martial arts techniques. Thirdly, you can get medicinal materials to improve cultivation and strengthen the body."

"Some people, although they have opened all eight meridians, will never reach the Great Perfection of the Ming Realm in their lifetime, let alone have the opportunity to enter the Dark Realm. However, as long as you join the Huben Camp, even if you are only rated as C-level, you can still achieve a breakthrough within ten years and become an expert at the First Heaven of the Dark Realm. I stayed in the Huben Camp for twenty years and broke through from an Eight-Star Martial Artist all the way to the Third Heaven of the Dark Realm. This is something I couldn't imagine before. Martial artists like me are willing to join the organization because there is such an opportunity."

Ye Chen didn't expect that there were Transformation Realm experts within this organization. He still didn't know how strong the strength of Transformation Realm experts was.

Surprised, he asked Duan Liye again, "Listening to you, you joined the Poqing Society halfway?"

"Yes," Duan Liye said, "I was originally just a disciple of a small sect. I was considered to have outstanding aptitude in my sect. More than thirty years ago, my master offended a master of the Poqing Society. The other party killed my master and a group of fellow disciples to punish the sect. And because I had good aptitude and gave up resistance at the first time, I was appreciated by the other party, so the other party recruited me into the Poqing Society;"

Ye Chen asked again, "Then what about the deadly poison in your body?"

Duan Liye said, "Anyone who wants to join the Poqing Society must voluntarily take poison. When I first joined, the poison I took was the same as that of the dead soldiers and Cavalry Guards, and I had to take the antidote once a week. But after staying in the Huben Camp for twenty years and leaving the Huben Camp, the organization gave me a new deadly poison. The toxicity of this deadly poison is stronger, but the onset time is also extended to once every six months, which is relatively freer."

Ye Chen nodded and asked, "As you said, the Huben Camp is an advanced training base for martial artists."

Duan Liye said, "Yes, that's it."

Ye Chen asked coldly, "Where is the Huben Camp?" ===== CHAPTER 2469 =====
