Chapter 59: Zhao Zong is Numb! The Company's Meeting

~8 min read 1,487 words

Zhao Zong had a fairly good rest last night; it had been a long time since he slept so soundly.

Because the matter of Zhao Guizhen had finally been completely resolved.

Originally, the handling of an Outsider who violated the rules was to be decided by the Company.

It was just that what Zhao Guizhen did was too extreme, and the Company itself could not handle it.

Although the result was about the same, the person was definitely going to die.

But who killed him mattered.

But regardless, this matter could be considered over.

With his worries set aside, Zhao Zong could naturally sleep well.

He was eating breakfast peacefully while flipping through his phone to look at the content on the Alien Forum.

Then, the phone rang.

Seeing it was a call from the Company, Zhao Zong was a bit puzzled; after picking up the phone and putting it to his ear, he suddenly stood up.

This speed of rising was very fast, relative to his physique and age.

"What? Quanxing attacked Baiyun Guan last night?"

Zhao Zong's eyeballs were almost popping out; he widened his eyes and roared at the phone.

"And then? What are the casualties at Baiyun Guan?"

"Did the chaos spill over?"

"Was there any impact on Jingcheng?"

"Were any ordinary people hurt?"

Zhao Zong spoke in succession to the person on the other end of the line.

After a series of questions, Zhao Zong waited for the answer from the other side.

Then, a shocked expression froze on his face.

"Except for the Quanxing, not a single person was hurt?"

Zhao Zong was stunned and confirmed it again.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhao Zong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness; there was still room for maneuver.

Baiyun Guan was the ancestral temple of the Quanzhen Longmen Sect, which was very special to all the factions of the Dao Sect.

If Baiyun Guan suffered huge losses here, then things would be troublesome.

He simply couldn't suppress it.

Zhao Zong had just breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his soy milk to take a sip, then heard the voice coming from the phone and spat it out directly.

"I'll talk when I get back to the Company; notify all the Chairmen, even those who aren't here, notify them to connect immediately."

To hell with eating breakfast.

Something big was going to happen this time.

After a simple cleanup, Zhao Zong immediately rushed to the Company headquarters.

The Chairmen who were present had already arrived, and those who were not had also joined via phone connection.

"Everyone should know about the matter, so I won't explain it in detail; let's talk about how to handle it?"

Zhao Zong spoke first.

"This matter is really not easy to handle; Quanxing attacked Baiyun Guan in the middle of the night, and there were quite a few of them. This kind of thing hasn't happened in decades.

Now Baiyun Guan is preparing to gather the Dao Sect lineage to sweep away Quanxing; this matter is really not easy to handle."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other Chairmen were speechless.

No kidding, as if we didn't know.

What is needed now is a solution.

Those present did not doubt at all whether Baiyun Guan could do what they said.

Although Baiyun Guan was not very famous in the Outsider world right now and didn't really show off.

But Baiyun Guan's prestige in the Dao Sect was on par with Longhu Mountain.

Furthermore, Longhu Mountain also belonged to the Dao Sect; if Baiyun Guan were really allowed to do this, it was estimated that Longhu Mountain could not sit idly by either.

It was unlikely that the Celestial Master would take action personally, but sending disciples to support was very possible.

This was a major event involving the entire Outsider world.

If it wasn't handled well, then it would be troublesome.

"This time, Baiyun Guan didn't suffer any losses; the message sent over says that not a single person at Baiyun Guan was injured, but instead, dozens of the attacking Quanxing died."

Someone reminded.

In this society, even if it was Quanxing, dozens of deaths was an extremely major event.

The key was that the ones who took action were from Baiyun Guan, and they were also planning to gather manpower to wage war on Quanxing.

Zhao Zong looked at the quiet conference room and spoke after a moment of silence.

"Actually, there is another piece of news; I only saw it when I was coming over just now: Ding Daoan was also among those there last night, and he was beaten into a serious injury."

As soon as this was said, the Chairmen present all widened their eyes.

"No way, is Baiyun Guan's strength that strong?"

If one said they killed dozens of Quanxing evildoers, one could still say it was because the quality of the Quanxing people was uneven.

There were those with great strength, and there were those who were very weak.

Perhaps those who died this time were all those weak guys.

But Ding Daoan.

This guy has quite a reputation in the Outsider world.

Or rather, a very big reputation.

Back when he hadn't announced joining the All-Nature Sect, he was already called one of the Two Heroes.

Among the Outsider world, he is absolutely a top-tier expert.

Especially since this guy is a battle maniac.

His combat experience is extremely rich.

Speaking purely of one-on-one combat, it is estimated that apart from the Celestial Master, no one would dare say they could definitely beat this guy.

Such an expert has been seriously injured.

"That's not right. Although Ding Daoan joined the All-Nature Sect, we know his situation; after all, we have been keeping an eye on him ever since he joined the All-Nature Sect.

Why would this guy want to participate in this matter?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked puzzled.

Chairman Zhao pondered for a moment, then raised a finger and tapped the table.

"Stop. Ding Daoan's matter is important, but the matter at Baiyun Guan is even more important. Now that they have given their stance, we must also provide a response.

The fact that the other party informed us in advance can be considered as following the rules."

"Chairman Zhao, what do you mean?"

"Although this incident is egregious, Baiyun Guan did not suffer any losses after all; doing this might just be to make a gesture.

But this is my guess, and we cannot gamble. After all, the All-Nature Sect also has a necessity to exist; we have discussed this matter before, so I won't say more here."

Keeping the All-Nature Sect around gives the various parties in the Outsider world a villainous target to focus on.

If this target were to disappear, given the situation in the Outsider world, I fear some problems would arise between the various factions.

That is a worse situation than the existence of the All-Nature Sect.

"How about we send someone to sound them out and check the situation?"

A board member suggested.

Chairman Zhao thought about it after hearing this and nodded.

"Indeed, someone should go. Besides, Ding Daoan is not dead; we can ask him why the All-Nature Sect wanted to do this."

Afterward, Chairman Zhao swept his gaze around the room.

As a result, a group of board members all looked away.

This is a big trouble; clearly, the other board members do not want to get involved.

Chairman Zhao sighed.

"Fine, I will make a trip. I have some friendship with Daoist Fang Dongtian of Baiyun Guan."

Hearing that Chairman Zhao would go personally, the other board members all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chairman Zhao, do you think this matter could have something to do with that Lin Xuan from Baiyun Guan? I recently saw that some information about him seems to have been released, and it's circulating quite widely on the Alien Forum."

Someone spoke up.

"What do you mean?"

Someone was reminded and had a sudden realization.

"At the Lu family's birthday banquet, besides that bottle of wine soaked with two-hundred-year-old Ginseng, Baiyun Guan also had an eight-hundred-year-old Ginseng. Let's not even talk about whether this Ginseng is real or fake.

But that Elder Lu did accept it.

So I was thinking, could it be that wealth moves people's hearts?"

Regarding this news, everyone present naturally knew it, it's just that an eight-hundred-year-old Ginseng is a bit too far-fetched.

But if it were two or three hundred years old, it wouldn't be impossible.

"We will discuss this later. I need you all to do one thing: if Baiyun Guan really intends to summon a series of sects from the Dao Sect, you must each find a way to stop them.

If you cannot stop them, you must also persuade them to be rational."
