Chapter 158: The Emergence of a Third Party Force

  For a whole October, Lin Xiao had been thinking about how to break through to the second stage of Yuan Wu.

  However, a month has passed and Lin Xiao still has no clue.

  "If there was a Breaking Obstacle Pill, that would be great!" This thought had appeared in Lin Xiao's mind more than once.

  Po Zhuan Dan is a type of elixir used to break through the Great Boundary of Cultivation. Its grade varies depending on the age of the original materials, with even the lowest-grade Po Zhuan Dan being a mid-grade spiritual elixir that can be used by martial artists to break through to the Yuan Wu stage.

  What Lin Xiao needed was a top-grade Ling Dan, the Po Shang Dan, but unfortunately he didn't have the necessary materials to refine it, so this idea only came out when he was extremely frustrated and would complain about it for a few sentences.

  For Lin Xiao, October was a very difficult month, not only because his cultivation couldn't break through, but also because in November he could once again enter the next new world, which made him somewhat impatient.

  However, for the seven major sects of Zheng Dao, October is a month full of harvest.

  Qing Qing repeatedly whispered to Lin Xiao's ear about the gains of their Tianqiong Sect over the past month, either annihilating a number of demonic cultivators or foiling some plot of the demonic sect.

  But Lin Xiao was clear in his mind that all of this was just a false appearance deliberately put on by the Demon Gate, with the intention of making these righteous people become complacent and think they had really secured the Demon Gate's fat meat, only to fall into the trap set up by the Demon Gate.

  But Lin Xiao didn't say anything and let Yan Qingqing continue to boast about the merits of their Tiankuang Sect in his ear.

  Of course, sometimes she would also complain to Lin Xiao about some dissatisfactions. In fact, due to this incident, the already unstable Orthodox Seven Great Sects Alliance had almost reached the point of collapse.

  Even if the older generation of predecessors did not speak, these young people full of momentum thought that this time the Demon Gate treasure belonged to their own sect, and the other six major sects were naturally enemies.

  Although they would cooperate when targeting Mo Men, once Mo Men retreated, they began to target each other.

  Yan Qingqing had mentioned this to Lin Xiao more than once. It was either that certain sects were deceiving people too much or that certain sects were shameless and despicable. Anyway, Lin Xiao also saw it, Yan Qingqing didn't have a good impression of the other six major sects at all.

  Other people's family conflicts are none of Lin Xiao's business, he is just a listener, occasionally listening to Xian Qing complain for a few sentences. He also has no intention of getting involved, and Xian Qing has never asked Lin Xiao for help either.

  A month later, the whole city of Yujiang was in a state of turmoil, and even ordinary citizens felt a sense of impending doom. The once bustling streets were now deserted, with people either going to work or hiding at home.

  There have been over a dozen terrorist incidents in the city this month. Although the government has come out to explain, their reasons are really unconvincing - things like underground natural gas explosions and buildings being shoddy constructions, which seem plausible at first glance, but some rumors are still circulating among the people.

  Especially now that the internet is so developed, Lin Xiao even saw a video online once. Although the images in it were very blurry, Lin Xiao still recognized the identities of several main characters.

  However, this video disappeared the next day, apparently deleted by relevant departments.

  Regarding the recent "Superman" incident in Yujiang City, which has been making a big stir, there have been many voices from outside. Some people are preparing to leave and avoid the storm, while others who are not afraid of death are eager to squeeze into Yujiang City to see if the "Superman" really exists.

  No matter how many reasons the relevant departments come up with to explain this, it's useless. When faced with people who have been confused by supernatural events, even if you present a large amount of evidence, they won't believe it. Moreover, the relevant departments can't produce any evidence at all.

  To sum it up, the current state of Yujiang City is completely chaotic, and the hidden warriors are gradually exposing themselves to ordinary people's sight. Although not many people believe in their existence now, as long as such things continue to happen, Lin Xiao dares to assert that one day this real world will become like the world where X-Men live.

  Snap!

  A thick stack of documents was slammed heavily onto the desktop by a large hand, and the top few pages were blown away by the air flow, shaking off directly onto the thick woolen carpet.

  "Tell me, when are those damned guys going to stop making trouble?" The furious middle-aged man pointed at the person in front of him with one hand, his eyes blazing with anger that seemed to scorch the other's hair.

  Liu Changsheng, the current mayor of Yujiang City, a big shot who can make it rain or shine in Yujiang City, is now standing in front of a large desk, sweating profusely, with his hands clenched together and rubbing them back and forth. Facing the scolding from the person in front of him, he doesn't even dare to fart.

  "Take a look at this, what is it? Are you filming a martial arts movie?" The middle-aged man fiercely pointed to a page in the file, on which was printed an image of a burly man wielding a meter-long iron club, smashing the ground and creating a huge crater in the concrete floor. Countless stone chips were flying everywhere, and around him were several broken cars and people lying in pools of blood.

  Liu Changsheng's lips trembled and he couldn't speak a word.

  A middle-aged man saw him like this, suddenly became angry and wanted to scold a few more sentences. At this time, the office door was heavily pushed open by someone, and three people walked in from outside in big strides. Behind the three people was the middle-aged man's secretary.

  "Who are you? Who allowed you to come in?" The middle-aged man had been holding back a surge of anger, and now that he saw someone bursting into his office, this effort suddenly burst out completely.

  "Governor, I told them you were busy receiving guests and asked them to wait for a moment, but they wouldn't listen." The young and beautiful secretary looked at the governor with a wronged expression, directly shifting all the blame onto those people.

  "Are you Wan Guo Hua?" The man who led the charge suddenly spoke up and asked the governor.

  It seemed that he had sensed an extraordinary aura about these three people, and Wan Guohua temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart. He nodded at the three of them.

  "Not bad, I am Wan Guo Hua, who are you?"

  Whoosh!

  The man in charge directly took out a whole book from his pocket and opened it, "Dragon Group Heavenly Master Tian Dao, under the command of the group leader to take over the case of Yujiang City."

  "Dragon Squad!" Wan Guohua's face changed instantly.

  He suddenly turned his head and looked at his secretary. He shouted: "Get out quickly, close the door, remember no one is allowed to come in without my approval!"

  The female secretary was obviously frightened, she had never seen Wang Guohua in such a flustered state before. Scared, she quickly ran out and didn't forget to close the office door on her way out as Wang Guohua intended.

  Wait until the door is closed. Wang Guohua looked at Liu Changsheng with a strange expression, pointing at him and said: "Three of you, he is the mayor of Yujiang City, if there's anything you want to ask, you can ask him directly, or you can also ask me."

  "Alright." Tiandao put away his documents. He nodded at the two subordinates beside him, and the next moment they walked out from behind Tiandao, taking Wan Guohua and Liu Changsheng away for questioning.

  Tian Dao lowered his head and glanced at the high-grade woolen carpet on the ground, which was almost deep enough to sink his entire foot into. A hint of disgust flashed in his dark eyes.

  "Corrupt officials, humph!"

  He didn't care about how much the corrupt official had embezzled, Tian Dao was clear that his mission this time was not to investigate corruption. Such trivial matters were not worthy of him, the master of the Dragon Group, taking action personally. This time, he came to Linhai Province for a series of cases that had recently occurred in Yujiang City.

  Others may not be clear about the root of these cases, but they are crystal clear to Long Zu.

  The Dragon Group, in short, is a martial arts school belonging to the country. Unlike other schools, they do not participate in any disputes or feuds and are only responsible for defending national security and responding to invasions by enemies of other countries.

  The Dragon Division was not called the Dragon Division a hundred years ago. At that time, the Dragon Division was still one of the largest factions in the Orthodox Church, but later because of some things, they eventually defected to the country and changed their name to the Dragon Division.

  For a hundred years, with the nation's strong support, they have developed sufficiently in terms of martial artists' numbers. Even the powerful Mo Gate can't compare to their Dragon Group.

  The entire Dragon Group is divided into 108 halls, each with a hall master and two deputy masters, governing thousands of members. The total number of members in the Dragon Group has long exceeded 100,000 and is approaching 500,000.

  However, when it comes to top-notch strongmen, the Dragon Group is not as good as the Seven Major Sects. For example, the master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Tian Dao, only has a cultivation base of three stages of Yuan Wu, and the leader of the Dragon Group only has a cultivation base of six stages of Yuan Wu. Compared to those old guys from the Seven Major Sects, they are much weaker.

  This is also why the Seven Great Sects and the Demon Sect can still remain aloof from worldly affairs to this day, and the country has no way to control them.

  This time, for some reason, the Seven Great Sects and the Demon Gate had a huge fight in Yujiang City. After this matter was reported to the higher-ups, they immediately assigned this task to the Dragon Group to handle. Tian Dao and his three teammates were only the vanguard, mainly responsible for investigating why the Seven Great Sects and the Demon Gate had clashed in Yujiang City. As long as they found out the reason, if necessary, they could dispatch tens of thousands of Dragon Group members to Yujiang City within a day.

  "I hope it doesn't come to that, or else the world will be in complete chaos." Tian Dao's gaze passed through the large floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the streets below, his heart involuntarily filled with worry.

  PS: I made some changes to the volume name, originally planning to write a separate volume describing realistic content, but suddenly found that there's not much to write about, and one volume with only over ten chapters is too pitiful, so I thought about it and decided to wait until the next volume to describe it in detail.
