Chapter 160: Aftermath, Gong Qing's Concerns and Speculations

However, after those few people returned, each of their faces was as heavy as water; they didn't even engage in small talk, and each left on their own.

They now clearly understood the gap between themselves and the two, Lin Xuan and the Tianshi.

It was a chasm that one could not see the other side of.

With both sides ceasing their hands, the Company side finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was just that there was still a massive amount of work to be done for the aftermath.

But there was no help for it; it was called management, but in reality, it was just cleaning up the mess for the Outsider world.

After Zhao Zong, Zhao Fangxu, received the news that the two had ceased their hands, the Tianshi had returned to Tianshi Mansion alone, and Lin Xuan also seemed to have returned to Baiyun Guan, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The duration of this exchange was not long, but the impact on the outside world was immense.

Especially in the towns closest to the no-man's-land, there were clear tremors felt.

He could only have people release a statement about low-intensity earthquakes deep underground.

Of course, these were not the most important things.

What gave him a headache now was how to report this matter to those above.

"Zhao Zong, this is bad!"

The secretary walked in quickly, looking anxious!

"What is so urgent? Could it be that one of those two was injured?"

Zhao Zong's face tightened, and he asked hurriedly.

"Uh, that's not it. At least from the news received from the Ten Elders, neither of these two seems to have suffered any injuries, though Lao Tianshi is a bit more disheveled."

The secretary said hurriedly.

"Then what is the matter?"

Zhao Fangxu frowned.

"The Bunker in Jin City has been invaded, and Ding Daoan has gone missing!"

Hearing this, the secretary did not delay and stated the news just received.

"Hmm? Ding Daoan?"

Zhao Fangxu was stunned.

"Yes, but there were no casualties this time. The guards were knocked down, but looking at the situation, it seems to have been the work of the Four Maniacs!"

Once one is hit by the respective methods of the Four Maniacs, it is easy to distinguish.

"Quanxing!"

Zhao Zong frowned and thought for a moment; originally, the Bunker being invaded would count as a major event.

But now Zhao Zong felt a bit strange; he actually felt it was no big deal.

"Also, a note was found in the Bunker. It was indeed the work of Quanxing, and the person who signed it was the Quanxing Acting Sect Leader, Gong Qing."

"Acting Sect Leader?"

Zhao Zong was stunned and recalled the information from the Company's investigation into Quanxing.

There was no such name.

But when did an Acting Sect Leader pop up in Quanxing?

Is this a provocation?

Zhao Zong pondered for a moment before looking up.

"This matter is somewhat strange. Send people to track these people down, especially Ding Daoan; given his personality, he will show his face."

Zhao Fangxu thought for a moment and said directly.

Zhao Zong actually didn't care about Ding Daoan running away.

Ding Daoan's strength was indeed very strong, but this person was different from those Quanxing people, and his danger level was not high.

The main thing was that a Quanxing Acting Sect Leader had popped up this time, and this must be taken seriously.

"Yes, Zhao Zong!"

"By the way, there is one more thing. Notify Xu Si—aren't they still at Longhu Mountain? Tell them to go pay a visit to Lao Tianshi and see if they can ask for some details about the duel."

"Understood!"

Hearing this, the secretary nodded and walked away quickly.

As for Zhao Zong, he turned his head back to the large screen, where a satellite image was frozen.

The clear image showed a small, grayish-brown mountain floating in the air.

Xu Si and the others were indeed still at Longhu Mountain.

The remaining small-fry of Quanxing couldn't stir up any trouble at all.

After the Tianshi left, the vigilance here was naturally heightened.

There weren't many experts left among the Quanxing, so dealing with them wasn't troublesome.

However, after receiving the message sent by the Company headquarters, Xu Si smoked his cigarette and frowned in thought.

"The duel over there is over? Who won?"

Hearing Xu San ask this question, Xu Si spread his hands.

"Don't ask me, I don't know!"

"Didn't it say so on the phone?"

"It didn't!"

Xu Si shook his head, then patted his own forehead, looking very troubled.

"The Company's idea is that when the Tianshi returns, I should go pay a visit to the Tianshi and ask about the details of the duel; this matter is quite troublesome."

"It is indeed troublesome!"

Xu San nodded upon hearing this, and then the two turned their heads to look at Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Chulan's body stiffened, and he turned his head with a stiff neck to look at the two brothers, Xu Si and Xu San.

"Brother Si, Brother San, why are you looking at me?"

Zhang Chulan, who had been pricking up his ears, had heard their conversation clearly just now.

"You go ask!"

Xu Si said directly.

"Huh?" Zhang Chulan pointed at his own face, looking stunned.

"What? You asking is just right; after all, he is your grandmaster, and it seems he thinks highly of you. Besides, you have to go see the Celestial Master alone later to ask about your grandfather's affairs.

Wouldn't this just be a convenient thing to do?"

Is this a matter of convenience or not?

Zhang Chulan was speechless upon hearing this, but seeing the gazes of Xu Si and the others, he nodded with a troubled expression.

"Alright, just bring it up; it doesn't matter if you don't get a result, we'll just report it to the Company like this when the time comes."

Xu Si looked indifferent.

But Zhang Chulan felt that Xu Si was putting on this attitude.

However, he did indeed relax a little.

"Okay!"

"That's right!"

Xu Si nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Xu San.

"You go back first and take care of things at the Company; there shouldn't be any major issues here at Tianshi Mansion."

Xu San thought for a moment and did not refuse.

"Take Baobao back too; she's been playing here for several days, it's time to go back to work."

Feng Baobao suddenly raised her head upon hearing this and stood up.

"Okay!"

Clearly, she was also a bit impatient.

"You're all leaving?"

Zhang Chulan's expression immediately became somewhat depressed upon hearing this.

"Brother, aren't I still here?"

Xu Si leaned over and grabbed Zhang Chulan's shoulder.

"Don't be afraid, Brother Si will take good care of you!"

Zhang Chulan's face stiffened, and he subconsciously stood up and covered his buttocks.

Xu San looked at the two clowns, shook his head speechlessly, and left directly with the other clown.

……

Yaoxing Society.

Qu Tong looked at the images flipping constantly on the screen in front of her, some clear and some blurry.

"Although I want to contact you, let's not contact each other for this period of time; the matter at the Bunker will definitely cause some waves.

Also, it's best not to cooperate with those guys from the All-Sex; it's impossible to wash clean."

Qu Tong's expression remained unchanged; she turned her ring, and the voice stopped abruptly.

Her eyes were locked on the flipping images.

"Is the Celestial Master this strong? It's fortunate I didn't do anything before."

Qu Tong had thought Lin Xuan was very strong, and the result seemed to be as she had thought.

After all, he is the only Inner Elixir True Person in a thousand years; no matter how one thinks of it, it is not an exaggeration.

But as for the Celestial Master...

She naturally understood that the Celestial Master was very powerful, but this battle was clearly beyond the standard.

This power clearly exceeded the limit, and by a lot.

"Did I think wrong before?"

Qu Tong frowned, unable to figure it out.

"It's a pity that I can't contact them now!"

Qu Tong had her own plans, but now that the strength of the two people exceeded the standard, Qu Tong had no confidence and naturally did not dare to rashly make contact.

"However, is the news about the other Dragon-Tiger Golden Core true?"

Qu Tong whispered to herself, her tone full of uncertainty.
