"With regards to this matter, our Martial Practitioners Control Department will undoubtedly be involved as well. After all, the main force sent to kill that Demonic Beast is from our side," Jin Sanjue continued.
Bei Feng nodded lightly with understanding. This was a point which was only reasonable. Since they had taken on the most risky task of eliminating the Demonic Beast, they should naturally be the ones to reap the benefits first.
Although the Martial Practitioners Control Department usually did not meddle in such matters, since nothing was known about the ruins and the Martial Practitioners Control Department had also contributed their strength, they did have the rights to explore it first.
The Martial Practitioners Control Department was spread through the entire country. With the support of the entire country behind it, the resources they had were naturally incomparable with any singular clans!
But despite that, the ruins were likely still going to be claimed by them. After all, the other side had incurred great expenses this time. For Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts alone, they\'ve already dispatched four!
"This time, there definitely wouldn\'t be any chances for anyone under Xiantian to enter the ruins. Only Xiantian Lords would be eligible. And even then, the biggest winners are already predetermined."
Jin Sanjue felt somewhat bummed. There were only so many resources in the underground crypt, so there was no way it would be open for just anyone. There was naturally a need to thin down the number of people allowed to participate. Those who were below the Xiantian level did not even have the qualifications to enter the place!
"Didn\'t you say that they have no way to open the entrance?" Bei Feng asked curiously.
Jin Sanjue fell silent for a moment before finally revealing.
"Nuclear weapons!"
Bei Feng narrowed his eyes and drew in a mouthful of cold air. They were actually planning to use nuclear weapons!
Nuclear weapons were the strongest weapons available on Earth. It was also the knife hanging above each and every martial practitioners\' head!
There wasn\'t a single martial practitioner who dared to say that they could survive a nuclear blast. The explosive range of tens to hundreds of li was enough to cause anyone to feel completely helpless!
Even if it was on the very fringe of a nuclear blast, even a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert would not be able to withstand it!
But after a moment, he still managed to rein his shock in. The purpose was only to open the entrance to a crypt, so there was no way large nuclear bombs would be used. At the most, it should only be a small nuclear explosive.
But even so, one could still see what kind of power the Martial Practitioners Control Department was in control of to be capable of deploying nuclear weapons!
Despite that, they still had to lean against the powerful wings of the country. From this, one could see how powerful the country really was!
The state had full confidence in their abilities to completely suppress all domestic unrest, and even allowed the Martial Practitioners Control Department the authority to govern their internal affairs. However, the moment they infringed upon some moral issues in their actions, they could also be wiped out immediately!
"What is the estimated time for the opening of the crypt?"
Bei Feng was also interested in the underground crypt. The fact that the owner of the crypt had the ability to make a Super Demonic Beast guard his tomb after he was dead showed how exceptional his strength was!
Even stranger was that there were still no conclusive details on the identity of the crypt\'s owner at all yet.
The burial articles buried in the tomb had to be exceptional. Even if the best objects were claimed by the Martial Practitioners Control Department, the remaining items could not be underestimated!
"Two days later. The reason for the delay is that the matter of utilizing nuclear weapons is considered to be extremely serious. The request needs to go through numerous layers of stringent checks and personnel before it could be approved," Jin Sanjue explained in detail.
"En, thank you."
Bei Feng nodded lightly and gestured for Mystic Three to bring a gift over.
"I dare not accept, Esteemed Lord! The information I gave you was not a secret, and many people also know about it," Jin Sanjue hurriedly refused.
"This is what you deserve, take it."
Bei Feng directly turned around and went indoors without a second word.
"This... this is?"
Jin Sanjue received a jade box from Mystic Three and opened it lightly. He took a single glance and quickly shut the box again.
\'What powerful medicinal strength! With this, I can definitely break through to mid stage Evolved Jing. Even breaking through to advanced stage Evolved Jing is not impossible!\'
Jin Sanjue hugged the jade box to his chest as though he had obtained a great treasure. When he was on the way to the villa earlier, he was afraid and wondering if Bei Feng had finally called him over to settle the scores with him. But having witnessed Bei Feng\'s strength for himself, he did not dare not to come.
But in the end, he\'d actually received a valuable gift by just telling some news which everyone already knew!
At this moment, he no longer felt any mental rifts or enmity against Bei Feng. Instead, he was filled with a great sense of gratitude towards him.
Bei Feng went to the kitchen and began to prepare for lunch. Mystic Moon and the Cerberus had improved greatly, and were already starting to learn Pinyin. [TL/N: Pinyin is the Romanization of the Chinese characters based on their pronunciation.]
Ripper was already not very useful to Bei Feng by now. It was directly left at the security company and given to Mystic Four to control.
The stronger he grew, the more he knew about the world. And in turn, he understood more clearly about how small and insignificant he was.
He was currently one of the strongest mid stage Xiantian Lords, and if he used all his trump cards, he could definitely claim to have no opponents within the Xiantian realm.
But compared to a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert, he was lacking in too much. Perhaps, if he exploded with all his might and caught a primary stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert by surprise, he might have a chance of killing the latter. But in a frontal clash, he might at most only be able to flee with his life!
Bei Feng knew that his network was too weak right now. This was all quite normal, from a perspective. After all, the other experts had spent decades building up their network.
Typically, one would make some friends at the Light Jing stage, and then meet more experts at the Dark Jing realm. Adding all their old friends to the mix, they should have the foundations of a good network by then.
After that was the long journey towards the Evolved Jing stage and then the Xiantian realm. At that time, a strong network would have been established.
However, Bei Feng had relied on the Myriad Fishing System to advance rapidly, turning into one of the strongest mid stage Xiantian Lords using only half a year!
Naturally, he would not have the time to build a personal network, resulting in his current predicament.
After lunch, Bei Feng gathered all the Mystics together and released an order. All of them with the exception of Mystic Four were instructed to join the Martial Practitioners Control Department. This could be considered as a bunch of seeds Bei Feng was planting. Whether or not these seeds could bear fruit was not important. He only needed them to grow some roots!
Bei Feng was not a talkative person, and did not speak to Mystic Moon while they ate. Both of them ate in silence before proceeding with their own business.
Early the next day, Bei Feng brought Mystic Three along with him to Mt Qing Ling. When they arrived, they saw a road block before them. About a dozen soldiers with live ammunition promptly stopped the car and beckoned them to pull over at the side.
For fear that the Demonic Beast was still lurking in the area, Mt Qing Ling was directly cordoned off, forbidding tourists from entering.
Only after Bei Feng revealed himself as a martial practitioner did the guards allow them to pass.
Life and death were determined by the heavens. Since martial practitioners wanted to go in themselves, their well-being was not their concern anymore.
While Qing Ling Village could not be said to be big, it was not small, either. It could be considered the capital village among the neighboring villages. Just by relying on the mountain as a tourist attraction, every family was able to enjoy a good life here.
But at this moment, the once bustling town was now completely desolate. Some of the collapsed buildings were also emitting faint layers of dust.
Patches of dried blood could be seen all over the city\'s floor. This scene stood testament to the violent events here which took place a mere few days ago.
Bei Feng was feeling extremely heavy hearted at this point. He wanted to do something for the villagers, but he was too weak when compared with the Super Demonic Beast.
Half of a section of Mt Qing Ling\'s peak had been destroyed. Even the iconic White Cloud Pavilion atop the mountain had disappeared, turning into a pile of rubble!
The White Cloud Pavilion had a somewhat extraordinary origin. It was a prominent sect at one point in history. However, this sect had slowly declined over the years. It\'d been a very long time since someone from the sect had been sent down the mountain, but they were afraid of suffering a disastrous calamity if they did so.
In the end, after this tragedy, White Cloud Pavilion became something that only existed in name.
