Chapter 61: At Least Supersonic! Zhao Zong: ???

The situation outside was also a shock for these employees of the Company.

Compared to the young disciples of various sects and schools, joining the Company actually meant experiencing a bit more.

This is also the reason why some people send their disciples and juniors to the Company for a period of time.

At the very least in this era, the experience one can gain at the Company is far greater than the insights gained from bitter cultivation at home.

But even if it was a lot, they had never seen this kind of scene.

They even saw a person whose body was mixed together with the mud.

It felt as if they were indistinguishable from one another.

It couldn't be that the whole person had been slammed into the mud by themselves, could it?

Just looking at the state of these corpses, quite a few employees who had seen their fair share of major events couldn't take it.

This was the scene Zhao Zong saw when he came out.

"Zhao Zong, here..."

An employee who looked like the leader walked over to speak, but was stopped by Zhao Zong raising his hand.

"I roughly know the situation; take everyone back, and him too!"

Zhao Zong pointed at Ding Daoan, who was being held by Liu Xingyang.

"Understood!"

"Then we shall take our leave first."

Zhao Zong cupped his hands toward Luo Daming.

"Go slowly!"

Luo Daming smiled and nodded, watching Zhao Zong and his group head out; these employees began to pack up the corpses and transport them down the mountain.

"What about Junior Brother?"

Liu Xingyang hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

"Do not let anyone disturb him; if he needs anything, your junior brother will have someone notify us."

"Mm!"

Liu Xingyang nodded upon hearing this.

And as Zhao Zong went out and down the mountain, halfway there, a figure of extreme speed came down from the mountain.

"Zhao Zong, we discovered something!"

Zhao Zong stopped in his tracks upon hearing this.

"We have checked; all the fighting took place outside Baiyun Guan. These dead members of the Quanzhen probably didn't even charge into Baiyun Guan before they died."

Zhao Zong nodded upon hearing this, his expression turning serious.

"Additionally, the only damaged part of Baiyun Guan is a bit strange; we found some traces left behind after being scorched on the outside."

Zhao Zong looked at another person beside him upon hearing this.

"Mm, there is indeed a scorched mark; the person has already turned into charcoal, and a portion of the bones has already been burned away."

"Such a method!"

Zhao Zong was shocked beyond measure.

"Um, Zhao Zong, we also discovered another situation: the damage marks go from the inside out, and there are many trees on the perimeter that are damaged, having been broken by something."

"We suspect it was broken by something, and the marks point in a direction toward the mountainside."

"Go over and take a look!"

Zhao Zong said after considering it upon hearing this.

"Good!"

The person reporting nodded upon hearing this and led the way for everyone.

The mountain where Baiyun Guan is located actually has quite a few developed resting areas and some scenic spots.

It wasn't troublesome to get there.

After arriving at the location, even Zhao Zong, whose own strength was lacking, could tell that a great battle had broken out here.

The trees in this surrounding area, the damaged ground, and that piece of shattered boulder—the broken parts were very fresh, clearly having become like this in just these two days.

"The traces are very new; it should have happened at the same time as the events on the mountain."

Soon, someone investigated the entire situation.

Zhao Zong looked up along the hillside.

One could see that there seemed to be many traces of broken tree branches along the way.

It was a straight line.

"This is? Someone flew directly down from the mountain and broke trees along the way?"

A guess appeared in Zhao Zong's mind, but he had a look of bewilderment.

But what kind of power would it take to achieve this level?

It wasn't blasted down by a cannon, was it?

"Zhao Zong, this should be the traces left by two experts fighting; looking at the marks on the ground, the battle should have started here."

The person who looked like an operations team leader beside Zhao Zong walked around, calculated in his heart, and then reported; afterward, under Zhao Zong's gaze, he pointed at that half-piece of bluestone.

"Here, this stone should have stopped the person who was knocked down the mountain; if it weren't for this stone blocking them, they probably would have gone much further down."

"Then their opponent arrived, at least they fought here, then this bluestone was shattered, and then here, and here..."

This person deduced the process of the fight according to the traces left behind.

They stood by the broken large tree.

"This should be where the battle ended; one side was knocked back, broke this tree, and the battle ended."

After finishing, this person looked toward Zhao Zong.

The others also fell into silence.

"This is only a result inferred from the traces; it is not necessarily accurate."

This person said again.

Because both parties who made the move, or at least one of them, were somewhat contrary to common sense.

In fact, both he and Zhao Zong had guessed who one of the parties was, and Zhao Zong had even guessed both.

But if the combat situation were truly like this, Ding Daoan was suppressed by the entire city, kept taking the initiative to attack, and then was quickly defeated.

"Setting aside the specific combat situation for a moment, tell me, if one were to knock a person from Baiyun Guan all the way to here, what kind of power would be required?"

Zhao Zong pointed toward the top of the hillside.

The operations captain who had just been inferring the combat traces looked up and estimated the distance to Baiyun Guan on the mountain.

"If they were truly knocked all the way to here, then the person who was hit down would, at the very least, have to exceed the speed of sound at the start."

Zhao Zong:...

The others:...

Do you have any idea what you are saying?

If relying on certain spells, it is not impossible to exceed the speed of sound, and it might even be faster.

But those are all escape techniques.

For example, the Fire Escape of the Fire Virtue Sect, or the Metal Escape of the Flowing Light.

But for a living person to break the sound barrier?

Do you think you're flying a fighter jet?

The person who spoke also felt their words were a bit absurd and fell silent.

"Forget it, take photos here, go back and analyze them carefully, and leave a few people behind to check if there are any other clues here."

Zhao Zong waved his hand, took one more look at the shattered bluestone, and turned to walk back the way they came.

The others naturally acted according to orders.

The number of people Zhao Zong brought this time was not small, and the speed of transporting the corpses was also very fast.

After all, they were all dead, and the only one injured was Ding Daoan.

Prepare the refrigerated truck.

When Zhao Zong returned to the Company, he convened the Board of Directors again.

"It seems Zhao Zong went very smoothly this time."

As soon as Zhao Zong arrived, someone spoke up.

"It should be; I previously contacted several familiar Dao Sects, and they did indeed receive contact from Baiyun Guan, but then there was suddenly no movement."

Zhao Zong nodded slightly.

He then recounted what he had learned and the results from Baiyun Guan this time.

"So, they did it on purpose?"

Upon hearing of Luo Daming's intentions, many directors frowned incessantly.

Was this all arranged by that Daoist Master of Baiyun Guan?

"What if it was on purpose? Do you want to gamble? Gamble on whether we don't agree, and whether he dares to summon those Dao Sects to take action?"

Once these words were spoken, the others fell silent.

That was indeed the logic.

Isn't the current result the best one?

Although so many people from the All-Nature School died, it is indeed not easy to handle.

But it is still much better than the Dao Sects gathering to sweep through the All-Nature School.

And this was the result they wanted when they held the meeting before.

"But that Lin Xuan? Did he kill all those people by himself?"
