Chapter 62: The Company's Decision! The Unlucky All-Nature School Members

~8 min read 1,453 words

Previously, the Company was still thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to go to Baiyun Guan and make contact with Lin Xuan.

Now it seems there is no need to try and make contact.

Especially at a time like this.

But if such a god of slaughter has emerged in this era, not only Zhao Zong, but the other directors all felt their hearts sink.

The conference room fell into silence.

The attitude of Baiyun Guan is very clear now; let alone coming over to assist in the investigation, they probably wouldn't even be able to see them.

"Forget it, let's handle what can be handled first."

Zhao Zong tapped the table, and after attracting the attention of the other directors, he continued: "The All-Nature School members who died at Baiyun Guan have been brought back and are currently undergoing autopsies; the specific details will come out later.

The next main task is to communicate with the higher-ups."

The other directors nodded one after another; that is indeed the logic.

But the severity of this matter is actually far less than the time with Zhao Guizhen.

However, since so many people died this time, it cannot be hidden even if one wanted to.

The main thing is still to provide an explanation to the higher-ups.

"In addition, Ding Daoan is not dead; I have already had people perform emergency treatment, and perhaps we can get some information from him once he wakes up.

But as for Baiyun Guan, do not make contact for the time being."

Zhao Zong is worried that going to contact Baiyun Guan now will cause misunderstandings.

After all, his feeling after going there this time was that Baiyun Guan is very sensitive right now, especially when it involves Lin Xuan.

"Zhao Zong, we can leave Baiyun Guan alone, but we must deal with All-Nature School; after all, since All-Nature School has stirred up this kind of trouble at this time, it is inevitable that they could stir up similar trouble in the future.

Actually, the result this time is already very good; if—I am saying if—All-Nature School were to carry out such an operation again and were not stopped, and if it caused huge casualties to other factions, then that would be the worst situation."

Zhao Zong nodded upon hearing this; he naturally understood this point, so he had already thought of countermeasures, but he needed all the directors to agree.

"My idea is, since such a thing has happened, the Company certainly cannot do nothing. How about this: let each region send people out, and also deploy Temporary Workers, to carry out a round of arrests of All-Nature School members active in various places.

The time is tentatively set for three months."

After Zhao Zong said this, the other directors looked at each other and all nodded.

"Then it is decided."

After the Company's Board of Directors made the decision, the order was quickly distributed to each major region.

But these Regional Persons-in-Charge were all confused.

They inquired about the situation while gathering personnel to execute the order.

……

On the other side.

The few All-Nature School experts who left Baiyun Guan returned to a secret gathering place after getting far away from Jingcheng.

It is just that now, every one of them is injured.

Xia Liuqing was already old and frail, and now he probably only has half a life left.

Upon arriving at the place, he lay down on the side, gasping for breath.

Xia He's clothes were in tatters, her exposed skin was covered in scars, and her originally smooth, long purple hair looked as if it had been chewed on by a dog.

There were also charred marks.

The other few people were not much better off.

Especially Yuan Tao; as a Refiner, he had quite a few Dharma Artifacts on him for self-defense.

Now, without even fighting anyone, just dealing with the incoming disasters, his Protective Artifacts were all lost.

If it weren't for his disciple's astonishing talent, which provided some replenishment, he would probably have lost half his life by now too.

"Damn it, is this that brat's bizarre ability?"

Xia Liuqing gasped for quite a while before catching his breath and said in disbelief.

Ever since their group left Baiyun Guan that night, all sorts of unlucky things had come knocking on their door.

They could be hit head-on by a large truck just by walking on the side of the road.

And that was just the beginning.

Afterward, they avoided the roads and went into the mountains, and then these people were stunned.

Lightning strikes, and the mountain fires ignited by the lightning, directly surrounded the few of them perfectly.

They had just barely escaped from the fire when they encountered a flash flood sweeping down.

After that, it was landslides and mudslides.

If it were one or two accidents, that would be one thing.

But along the way, it was one thing after another.

If they hadn't been helping each other, they likely would have really lost a few people.

"Truly terrifying!"

Xia He was also still shaken.

The experiences of the past few days, combined with having no time to groom herself, made her look truly miserable.

"I will not go near this person in the future!"

Tu Junfang of the San Shi looked a bit better and was not as disheveled.

But there was not a trace of color on his face; his originally somewhat dark skin was now white to the point of being translucent.

This is the appearance of extreme overexertion.

Once he said this, the others all showed expressions of agreement.

This time, they were truly frightened.

Never before had they encountered such a thing.

Every moment required keeping vigilance at its highest level.

Because if one were not careful, it might...

The few people had just fallen silent when they all heard the sound of timber snapping overhead.

"Run!"

The few people who had been sprawled on the ground instantly sprang up and dashed out.

Boom!

The entire building collapsed directly.

Near the position of the original doorway, the falling broken wood and building materials were smashed to pieces.

Then Xia Liuqing rushed out first, and the others followed one after another.

Afterwards, the few people turned to look at the completely collapsed house, looking at each other in dismay.

Damn it, still chasing me?

The frequency had originally already decreased by a lot.

Just as the few people had finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, it comes again?

"Could it be that because no one has come here for a long time and there have been no repairs, it collapsed on its own?"

Xia He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Little girl, do you think it could be like that? Is there such a coincidence? It's not windy or raining here."

Xia Liuqing put away his gloves and said while panting heavily.

This kind of tension had not been experienced since the Sect Leader disappeared back then.

Now, it's all coming back to him.

But his body is clearly not as good as it was when he was young.

"Old Xia is right!"

Xia He shook her head lightly upon hearing this.

"I don't think we should stay here long."

Just at this moment, Lei Yan Pao Gao Ning raised a finger and pointed at the sky.

Everyone looked up.

The sky, which just a moment ago only had faint white cloud layers, had already darkened, and the cloud layers were thickening.

This kind of scene.

"Could it be that that person did this on purpose?"

Xia He tilted her head back, swallowed, and said.

"If he really can do this kind of thing, it is even more terrifying than the situation we are currently encountering."

Tu Junfang shook his head slightly.

If he could manipulate the celestial phenomena from this far away, then there is no point in them hiding; they might as well just stand there and wait for death.

"A bunch of brats, hurry up and run!"

Xia Liuqing shouted, turned around, and left.

They didn't know what kind of ghost things they would have to face next, nor did they know when it would end.

Their side had not ended, but the Wang Family side had already made preparations in advance.

The ceiling of the room where Wang Ai and Wang Bing were recently staying was made of fireproof foam, which was very lightweight; even if several meters of foam fell on them, it wouldn't hurt.

Inside the room, everything was made of soft materials and lacked any sharp edges.

Wang Ai's expression was ugly, but there was still a trace of fear in his eyes.
