Chapter 40 The True Buddha Appears

Looking at the densely packed drones resembling a swarm of bees, countless searchlights illuminated the abandoned factory under the night rain as bright as day.

Ji Jingqiu Dao: ” The Xingchen Group and Li Buyi are partners, and they were the ones who launched the recent raid.”

These words immediately caused an uproar among those present, but the people from the Security Bureau were even more surprised.

Yang Yan and Zhang Chongba, on the other hand, didn’t react much, as if this kind of thing was already commonplace.

Zhang Chongba squinted at Dao: “Now that we know which group you belong to, things will be much easier.”

Deputy Director Jin, standing nearby, leaned in with a fierce look and asked, “Specialist, shall we open fire?”

Both deputy directors of the Security Bureau have arrived at the scene.

“Fire? Fire what?” Zhang Chongba sneered. “Do we need to take action to deal with these wealthy and powerful families?”

Go, issue a temporary mobilization order from the Religious Affairs Bureau directly to them, saying that we have information on the whereabouts of members of the illegal organization Supreme True Buddha Sect, and that an evil spirit is suspected to be descending, requiring the armed members of Xingchen Group to cooperate in the encirclement and suppression.

I’ll tell them directly that if they dare to say no, I’ll pretend I never saw them in this abandoned factory in the lower district today!

Also, remember, when the fight breaks out with the Supreme True Buddha Sect, let them go first, and the rest of you should all stay back.

Deputy Director Jin sighed inwardly, fully aware of the situation. Dao.

This isn’t a case of not seeing it; it’s clearly an ultimatum and a blatant threat: if you don’t obey the mobilization and control orders, you’ll be silenced.

Regarding Ji Jingqiu’s earlier mention of collaborating with Supreme True Buddha Sect, there’s no evidence to support that, so it’s hard to say for sure right now.

But what kind of good people could a group of armed men be quietly gathering in the abandoned factory area of ​​the lower district?

If you don’t cooperate, you definitely have a problem.

You’ve cooperated; afterward, it depends on my mood.

That’s exactly what Commissioner Zhang meant.

Deputy Director Jin had no objection to this.

In any case, Xingchen Group has no property investments in Taian City.

He left in a hurry to take care of some business.

After confirming that Ji Jingqiu was alright, Old Master Yang took the lead and stealthily headed in the direction Ji Jingqiu had indicated to scout out the situation in advance.

Ji Jingqiu and Zhang Chongba remain.

“Brother, don’t go anywhere for now. Just stay here. There’s no safer place in Taian City right now.”

At this point, Zhang Chongba sighed.

“Luckily you didn’t get into trouble this time, otherwise, not only would your second uncle not forgive me, but I would have been so humiliated that I might as well have committed suicide to join you.”

Although the biggest problem this time was the intelligence oversight, neglecting Li Buyi’s flesh-and-blood Divine Ability, and they had anticipated that Ji Jingqiu was unlikely to be in mortal danger, at this point, nothing is absolute, and who knew Dao… Will Li Buyi go crazy?

Ji Jingqiu was someone Zhang Chongba had patted his chest and promised to protect.

The current situation is hard to say that it wasn’t due to his own underestimation of the enemy, such as letting Cold Blade take over his role in protecting Ji Jingqiu.

In his partnership with Cold Blade, if Cold Blade is the red stick, then he is the white paper umbrella.

In terms of fighting, he is not as good as Cold Blade, who was ranked seventh among his peers in the previous generation.

However, in terms of tracking, stealth, and searching, Cold Blade is no match for him.

If he had been there…

Zhang Chongba patted Ji Jingqiu on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, “I’ll give you an explanation later.”

Ji Jingqiu, on the other hand, had become much more open-minded at this point.

The world is impermanent; everything is constantly in a state of birth, dwelling, change, and extinction. Nothing is absolutely certain.

All they can do is strengthen themselves so that they have the ability to face and challenge crises before they occur, and prevent situations like today from happening again.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu’s pursuit of martial arts and power became even more resolute.

I entered the martial arts world to survive.

The pursuit of power is for the purpose of protecting what we already possess.

Deputy Director Jin didn’t leave for long.

A man dressed in martial arts attire, with slightly graying sideburns, a hooked nose, and a fierce expression walked over.

His gaze lingered for a moment on Cold Blade, with whom he had been confronting for so long.

Then he seemed to recognize Cold Blade’s background, and his expression changed from fierce to ugly.

Zhang Chongba raised his hand and beckoned, as if addressing a subordinate who would come at a moment’s notice.

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Wu Di. “

“Good name.” Zhang Chongba smiled and casually pulled up the other party’s identity file on the terminal. “Should I send your mobilization order to your group’s human resources department now? It will be convenient to distribute the subsidy afterward.”

Wu Di’s face was grim. He took a deep breath and said, “No need. Assisting the Religious Affairs Bureau in eliminating evil is the duty of every Federal Martial Artist.”

“You’ve got the sense!” Zhang Chongba gave a thumbs up, then casually added, “Then I’ll have to trouble Mr. Wu to lead the way later. I’ll pretend I didn’t see Mr. Wu tonight.”

Upon hearing the last sentence, Wu Di’s expression remained grim, but he visibly relaxed. He bowed in thanks and turned to leave.

After he walked away, Zhang Chongba turned to Ji Jingqiu and asked, “Brother, do you know who our Administration Bureau is currently primarily monitoring?”

“Isn’t it a religious deity?”

“Hehe, that was when the Federation was first established.” Zhang Chongba made a money-counting gesture. “A long time ago, the largest religion in the Federation became this.”

Ji Jingqiu was taken aback.

“Now we don’t call ourselves the Religious Affairs Bureau anymore, but simply the Administration Bureau.” Zhang Chongba sighed softly. “Of course, our greatest enemies are always the unknown beings suppressed in the wasteland, and the artificially created false gods within the Federation.”

“Brother, you must always remember this: stay away from all spiritual beings…”

Just as they were talking in hushed tones, a chaotic and violent mental storm swept across a radius of ten miles in an instant!

This mental storm was extremely terrifying, almost devastating, like countless knots of thoughts intertwined and rubbing against each other, appearing powerful and bizarre.

Zhang Chongba’s expression was solemn. He stepped forward and shielded Ji Jingqiu behind him.

Just a kilometer away from them, a figure shot into the sky, a burst of white light erupting behind it.

The white light was extremely pure, so pure that it could not tolerate any other color.

In the interplay of light and shadow, a figure resembling Buddha appears, standing proudly in mid-air, looking sacred and majestic.

Zhang Chongba shouted, “Everyone, do not look! Those below the third realm, all close your eyes and retreat!”

That white light, which seemed capable of purifying everything in the world, gave Ji Jingqiu a strangely familiar feeling.

Gradually, in his eyes, the white light turned black, a deep and dark darkness, and countless faces, some ferocious, some in pain, some in despair, slowly appeared on the Buddha’s body…

Every corner exudes a chilling and eerie atmosphere!

When Ji Jingqiu saw one of the faces, she suddenly felt it looked so familiar, as if…

Somewhat similar to Master Yang?

The scenery in Zhang Chongba’s eyes is similar to that in Ji Jingqiu’s.

Upon seeing one of the many faces on the Buddha’s body, his expression changed drastically, and he blurted out, “Second Uncle, that’s not Brother Tian! Come back!”

Just then.

Cold Blade, poised to strike, has been unsheathed.

The sound of the blade went from being completely silent to deep and resonant, and then soared like thunder from the depths of the clouds, all in just a moment!

The swift, shadowless blade cleaved through the night, seizing the moment when the opponent had just manifested and was momentarily distracted, and slashed down fiercely!

With a single stroke, the evil Buddha appeared to be cleaved in two!

A deep roar suddenly echoed, accompanied by an even stronger mental storm. The extremely dense white light began to recombine like water, as if the strike had not truly harmed it. However, a golden flame suddenly ignited within its body, scorching it and causing it to wail in pain.

It’s right below.

Yang Yan stared blankly at the painful face on the Buddha’s body, a face that Wu Fa would never forget.

His martial will surged like boiling fire, soaring into the sky.

“Tian’er…”

“Your father will come to free you right away…”

There will be more later, but I’ll definitely finish this boss today!
