However.
Before taking two steps, he bumped into a passerby.
"Bastard, can't you see where you're going!"
"Sorry, sorry."
The Dragon Head smiled apologetically and quickly offered an apology.
...
Afternoon.
Half a day had already passed since Baiyu successfully left the Tidal World.
At this mont, on the Legendary Ship.
He Jin, Baiyu, and a deputy director of the Ard Departnt were seated at a round table, looking at the people lying on the ground.
Xu Qiu and the others had already woken up.
But they had forgotten most of the events, only rembering that they entered the spirit realm's tide together.
Clearly, this was the Butcher's doing, and Baiyu didn't reveal the Butcher's presence to He Jin; there was no need to ntion it.
Later, Baiyu made up another explanation.
Basically, it's almost the sa, just that during the narration, the Butcher, this Immortal, was omitted.
He replaced it with himself battling wits and courage against the sinister beings.
However.
Xu Qiu and the others were awake, but none of the nobles Baiyu brought back were.
"Troubleso, didn't expect sinister beings were involved in this matter, these nobles must have guts of bears and leopards to touch such things."
He Jin's brows furrowed into a frown.
The newly appointed deputy minister beside him remained silent.
Baiyu said, "Now it seems that the situation in Mountain City is much more severe than we imagined, not only are there alien spies, but also infiltration by sinister beings.
Moreover.
Chief He.
This matter cannot be ignored.
The city's defense is paramount, concerning the safety of the entire Mountain City."
He Jin's hair was almost about to turn white with worry, and he waved his hand, "Baiyu, how do you expect to defend, I don't even have ti to sleep lately, dealing with all kinds of matters every day."
Baiyu, seeing this, asked, "Then Chief He, how is the combat preparedness?"
He Jin, hearing this question, replied, "There's a sixty percent chance of success, but I don't know if the Fourth Celestial Demon King will make another move.
But it doesn't matter if he does.
I've already inford the Imperial Anomaly Bureau, the Director will personally co to oversee this battle."
Baiyu nodded.
In battles like these, high-level forces often determine the outco of a war.
If no one can suppress the Fourth Celestial Demon King, allowing Him to grab people at will, what's the point in fighting?
Just the morale alone would collapse completely.
With the Director personally coming, this matter is much more reliable.
The other side is one of the strongest twelve in the East Prosperity Imperial.
Overseeing the work of the entire Imperial Anomaly Bureau, a confidant beside the Divine Emperor.
"Why did you suddenly ask this?"
At this ti.
He Jin imdiately realized.
Baiyu openly declared, "I think the current situation is not very good. If Lord He doesn't have confidence in the war, then I'm preparing to make a run for it.
However.
Now that things are like this, I should do my best to clear the city."
"You... deserting before the battle is a capital offense, and you dare to say such things?" He Jin was amused and angered by Baiyu.
Baiyu, however, waved his hand, "Just saying, no big deal. Besides, I've always been like this.
If I really ran.
I'd definitely take the Legendary Ship and have fun in the spirit realm."
"Do you have any idea how to root out the spies now?"
He Jin was unwilling to linger on this topic, returning to the key issue.
The appearance of the Tidal World.
Made the entire situation more complicated.
Baiyu's eyes flickered with a fierce light, "At present, the only plan is to target those underground martial artists and underground Extraordinaries.
Though they hide underground.
They have wide sources of information, and many are followers of secret organizations, understanding Mountain City possibly better than we do.
Controlling them.
Will stabilize over half of Mountain City.
Moreover, we can certainly extract useful information from them!"
He Jin furrowed his brows, expressing doubt about Baiyu's approach, "Is it really feasible? How could these rats hiding underground know these things."
"Hehe, one look at Chief He and I can tell you're from the official circles. Don't you know, even a thousand-mile dam can be destroyed by ant nests, many tis, it's the unremarkable small figures that pivot the overall situation."
Baiyu said, "We need to find a person in the underground world with enough prestige and fa, have him gather these underground martial artists and Extraordinaries, then we catch them all in one net.
Actually.
Many underground martial artists and Extraordinaries want to gain official status.
When the ti cos, give them what they want, and they'll surely talk.
With these people, it's like having our eyes and ears all over Mountain City's underground."
He Jin pondered Baiyu's words carefully, and after a few minutes, his eyes gradually brightened.
"Indeed, this thod is feasible."
He Jin praised, "Didn't expect Baiyu to have such a knack."
"Don't get too excited, this matter has a major difficulty, which is finding such an individual who can gather the underground martial artists and Extraordinaries."
Baiyu said seriously, "Such a person needs at least to be a leader of a secret organization, with reputation and rallying power, and they are not easy to find."
He Jin nodded.
Indeed.
Baiyu was right.
Generally, people with such identity either hide in the shadows, as slippery as eels, impossible to catch.
Or they are incognito, never appearing in public view.
As the two were struggling.
On the Legendary Ship, a Personal Guard Warrior hurried over, whispering a few words into Baiyu's ear.
Subsequently.
Baiyu's eyes lit up.
Seeing his expression, He Jin felt a surge of joy, "What's the good news?"
Baiyu said, "I know who to find, has Chief He ever heard of the Long Yuan organization?"
He Jin nodded, "This organization has always been against the Imperial, I heard the founder bears deep hatred towards the Imperial. Over the years, they've often been on the wanted list."
Baiyu said, "The Long Yuan organization carries enough weight and is also wanted by the Imperial, making it easy to gain recognition from the underground martial artists and Extraordinaries.
Moreover.
Their reputation isn't bad.
If we can capture their leader, this matter will surely succeed!"
"Unfortunately, all three Dragon Heads of Long Yuan are as slippery as eels and have been hiding sowhere without ever daring to show themselves."
He Jin sighed.
Baiyu laughed, "Normally, that's the case, but now, I know a Dragon Head from Long Yuan is in Mountain City right now!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
He Jin was taken aback.
"Indeed, it's a coincidence, as I happen to have captured two high-level cadres of Long Yuan, and that Dragon Head ca personally to demand their release."
Baiyu said, "If Chief He can take action and capture this person, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort!"
Having spoken to this point, He Jin couldn't possibly refuse.
Moreover.
Capturing one of Long Yuan's Dragon Heads is indeed a great achievent.
"No ti to delay, let's set off imdiately." He Jin hurriedly said.
Baiyu nodded, "I'll make the arrangents right away; that Dragon Head wants to et alone, probably with murder in mind, it's just right to set the eting place at a location convenient for capture.
After capturing him.
How Chief He decides to handle it, I'll leave it to you.
But I believe.
You can make him cooperate with us obediently."
He Jin grinned, "Of course, if I didn't have such skills, what kind of Chief would I be?"
...
"eting at Dragon Tiger District at midnight tonight?"
The Dragon Head heard Qiao Ying's words and nodded without suspicion, "Dragon Tiger District is the most complex area in Mountain City, teeming with all kinds of people, a suitable place for a eting indeed."
Qiao Ying added, "Baiyu also said he has limited ti and only wants to et us once, hoping you'll show sincerity."
The Dragon Head's eyes flashed, with killing intent surging at the bottom, "Of course, once is enough. Qiao Ying, you can go back now and just say I got the ssage."
Seeing the Dragon Head's expression, Qiao Ying's heart quivered and hesitated, "Lord, you're not planning to make a move against Baiyu, are you? This absolutely can't be."
"Oh? Why?"
"Baiyu is cunning, and he's the head of Mountain City's Security Bureau, absolutely untouchable, or there'll be big trouble."
"Alright, I understand. Don't worry, this ti I'm here to negotiate for your release, I won't make a move."
The Dragon Head promised.
