Chapter 109: Liao Zhong: This Might Be the Only Chance

"It's alright!"

Upon hearing the Village Chief apologize, Zhang Kun immediately spoke into the phone.

"Then can you invite him to Biyou Village?" Ma Xianhong was very polite.

"Uh, about that!"

Zhang Kun felt a bit cowardly the moment he heard this.

He dared to come to Longhu Mountain to scout for information because he hadn't committed any wrong, and with so many people coming, there was no issue.

But to approach that person here, he was truly a bit cowardly.

"Is it not possible?"

Ma Xianhong's tone didn't change; in any case, one couldn't tell what he was thinking from his voice.

"Village Chief, I think, how about we change the target?"

Zhang Kun asked tentatively.

"Then Zhang Chulan?"

Ma Xianhong asked.

As fellow successors of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, Ma Xianhong was still very concerned about Zhang Chulan.

"Uh, I'm afraid that won't work either!"

Zhang Kun felt a bit awkward the moment he heard this.

"Zhang Chulan seems to be with people from the Company."

"I see, then forget it."

Ma Xianhong was silent upon hearing this, and it was a good while before his voice came through the phone.

"Then me?"

"You continue to stay there, and come back after the Luo Tian Dajiao ends. Also, see if there is anyone worth paying attention to."

Ma Xianhong's voice rang out.

"Alright Village Chief, no problem Village Chief!"

The call ended, Zhang Kun let out a breath, his expression somewhat awkward.

He hadn't accomplished anything, yet the Village Chief didn't blame him.

……

Biyou Village.

Ma Xianhong put away his phone, his expression somewhat hesitant.

To change this world, it was difficult to rely solely on his own strength; he needed some like-minded people.

Ma Xianhong thought to himself and stood up.

Then his phone rang.

He answered with some confusion, and then there was a look of joy on his face.

"Sister!"

"Mm, I did find someone to go, but they didn't participate, just went to collect some information."

"Ah? I can't invite that person from Baiyun Guan; the person who went seems to have reservations, but that's fair, that person is no ordinary individual."

Ma Xianhong's expression was hesitant.

"Mm, I will try my best."

"Ah? Don't worry, I will go back after I finish the Cultivation Furnace."

After Ma Xianhong finished speaking, he heard the busy signal on the phone before hanging up.

"No, I still have to try to invite the person over."

His sister also wanted him to invite the person over.

Coming for a trip would be good too.

……

Below Longhu Mountain, a young girl wearing a uniform and a ponytail sat on a small stool, specifically watching her phone; the phone screen showed a children's puzzle game.

And within a large radius around her, there was only one person.

Liao Zhong, who was standing not far away making a phone call.

"Zhao Zong, please, this is really important to me."

Liao Zhong glanced at Chen Duo and requested into the phone.

"Where did you get this information?"

Zhao Zong's voice came from the phone.

"This, Zhao Zong, please don't ask. I have worked wholeheartedly for the Company all these years, and I have never asked you for anything."

Liao Zhong hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"So this is the reason you delayed the execution of the capture plan and applied for the Luo Tian Dajiao security plan?"

No emotion could be detected in Zhao Zong's voice on the other end.

"Zhao Zong, I have really tried every method over these years, but you also know Chen Duo's situation. This isn't a long-term solution; it looks fine for now, but it's hard to guarantee what will happen in the future.

Chen Duo is also a victim here, so this time I really want to try."

"You really are!"

Zhao Zong seemed to sigh on the other end.

"Fine, I can give you the permission for this time."

"Many thanks, Zhao Zong!"

Upon hearing this, a look of joy immediately appeared on Liao Zhong's face.

"But just because I've allowed it this time doesn't mean they will agree, and after this matter concludes, submit a report explaining clearly where you obtained this information."

After Zhao Zong finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Liao Zhong looked at the dark screen of his phone and let out a sigh of relief.

"Liao Shu, I am really fine!"

Chen Duo raised her head and said earnestly.

"Whether you are fine is not for you to decide; this opportunity is rare, do you want to give it up?"

Hearing this, Liao Zhong put away his phone and looked at Chen Duo, asking seriously.

"I don't know!"

Chen Duo lowered her head to think for a moment after hearing this, then shook her head.

"If you don't know, then you don't know. This time, I am definitely taking you to see that person; if it works, then in the future..."

Liao Zhong looked at Chen Duo's calm eyes and the Collar around her neck, and did not continue speaking.

As a Gu-Body Holy Child cultivated by the Medicine Immortal Society using cruel methods, Chen Duo was naturally a victim.

Originally, victims in such incidents would be helped to adapt to society after undergoing testing by the Company, and then allowed to leave.

It was precisely because Chen Duo's situation was special.

Her body could be called a petri dish for the Primitive Gu.

If she were let out and happened to lose control, it would not just be a matter of one or two people dying.

It was only through his repeated efforts that Chen Duo became a Temporary Worker.

It counted as being able to walk around outside.

But she was also under the constant surveillance of the Company.

So, after accidentally learning about the Yimu Divine Thunder this time, Liao Zhong felt he had to try.

This was perhaps the only chance for Chen Duo to become a normal person again.

"Pack up, we're going up the mountain!"

Liao Zhong said.

"Okay!"

Chen Duo nodded, stood up, zipped up her jacket, and put her phone back in her pocket.

Watching Chen Duo like this, Liao Zhong shook his head slightly, looked up at Longhu Mountain, and then took Chen Duo up the mountain.

On the mountain competition grounds.

Watching Zhang Chulan stand in the middle of the arena for a long time, the referee called out many times, but the other contestant did not appear.

This was considered a voluntary forfeit of the match, and Zhang Chulan advanced automatically.

Then, a chorus of curses erupted from the stands.

On the side of the Ten Elders, some people had already stood up to leave.

It seemed it was over.

Lin Xuan sat in his seat, watching Zhang Chulan, who had a smug look on his face in the arena.

This could be considered having the idea of camouflage carved into his body.

He was almost constantly showing weakness to the enemy.

Even now, perhaps his next opponent wasn't even here, yet he still acted this way.

It was like a petty person who had gained an advantage and was still acting coy.

"Shameless!"

"Shameless Zhang Chulan."

"Damn it, referee, can I go down and beat this guy up?"

In the stands, curses and clamoring were endless.

Especially the seven people who had been tricked by Zhang Chulan into killing each other in the first match; their eyes were spitting fire at this moment.

The referee glanced at these people, announced Zhang Chulan's victory, and left immediately.

Zhang Chulan was standing in the arena looking smug, and then he saw a figure leap down from the stands.

"Damn!"

Zhang Chulan was startled and turned to run.

Then a group of people chased after him.

"Catch that brat."

"Beat him until he can't take care of himself!"

A group of people shouted slogans and rushed out.

Watching this scene, Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Lao Tianshi, wearing a smile, and said nothing.

Fang Dongtian had the exact same expression as Lin Xuan.

Lao Tianshi saw this scene from the corner of his eye, and his eyelids twitched.

"This kid is really quite interesting."

Lu Jin laughed heartily, unable to contain his joy.

"He's just a child, and this kid is doing it on purpose, didn't you notice?" Lao Tianshi glanced at Lu Jin and said.

"Tianshi, although you say that, does this count as cheating?"

Mu You rubbed his bald head and asked curiously.

Then, the laughter stopped, and silence fell.
