Zhou Qi’s heart tightened as he looked at Su i and asked, "Pavilion Master, are you really preparing to go to war?"
"When they’re bullying us to this point, if we continue to retreat, where will the face of Heavenly chanism Pavilion lie? Ling Chen is right; the God Organization will never rest content. Since that’s the case, we might as well strike first."
"Pavilion Master, going to war with the God Organization is no small matter. Don’t you want to discuss it with the elders of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion?"
"There’s no need," Su i said indifferently. "I am the Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master, my word is the command. Who dares to disobey? Elder Zhou, rember, I don’t need others to give advice when I do things."
Feeling the cold frost in Su i’s gaze, Zhou Qi quickly bowed with clasped hands and respectfully responded, "Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, Pavilion Master, I will imdiately relay the orders." Having said this, Zhou Qi turned and left the presidential suite.
After he departed, the graceful woman who had been standing by Su i’s side pulled out a continuously vibrating cell phone from her pocket, hurriedly answered the call, and passed it to Su i.
Su i’s furrowed brows slightly relaxed after hearing whatever was said on the phone; she replied with an "I know" and then hung up.
"Pavilion Master, what’s happened?"
"It’s Elder Qin. He’s finally sent a ssage," Su i let out a sigh of relief.
Elder Qin was the Heavenly List expert who had been secretly protecting her. Having heard no word from him for an entire week, she feared he had t with an accident. The importance of a Heavenly List expert goes without saying; even for Heavenly chanism Pavilion, a Heavenly List expert is an invaluable asset. So, knowing the Heavenly List master was unhard, Su i could finally relax.
"Pavilion Master, what exactly happened to Elder Qin? Why hasn’t there been any news for so long?"
"He was found by Ji Gang, and after a fierce battle, he was seriously injured by his opponent and nearly died. Luckily, he managed to escape and save his life. Due to the severity of his injuries, he had no ti to contact us. He’s been hiding and healing in a safe place these days."
Hearing this, the graceful woman expressed her shock: "Is Ji Gang really that powerful?"
Su i nodded lightly and said, "Ji Gang was promoted to the Heavenly List more than thirty years ago, while Elder Qin has been in it for less than ten years, there’s definitely a gap. Within Heavenly chanism Pavilion, probably only that one person can deal with Ji Gang."
"You’re talking about him?" The graceful woman imdiately guessed who Su i was referring to.
Thinking of that one person, Su i couldn’t help but sigh and said, "Let’s not talk about this. As long as Elder Qin is fine, that’s good enough."
Now, only Ling Chen’s safety remained a concern.
After hesitating for a mont, Su i picked up the phone, scrolled through the contacts to find a number, and hesitated to dial out.
Forget it!
Sooner or later, she would have to face it.
With that thought, Su i directly dialed the number.
Beep... beep... After a while, the call connected, and a cool voice ca through: "You’re looking for for sothing?"
...
The Heavenly chanism Pavilion was extrely efficient at handling affairs. Following Su i’s orders, in less than a day, the intelligence organization of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion had dug out over ten secret strongholds of the God Organization spread across the country.
Overnight, all the strongholds had been subjected to devastating strikes.
"Pavilion Master."
Inside the presidential suite, Zhou Qi was reporting the results of last night’s battle.
"All thirteen secret locations of the God Organization have been destroyed. Thirty-four people were killed, forty-one captured. I have assigned Zhou Jun to take charge of the interrogation of those people to see if we can dig up more information."
"Very good." Su i nodded her head, affirming the actions taken.
"By the way! Pavilion Master, there’s another thing."
"Go ahead."
"Last night, during our operation, our people encountered another group. They had the sa goal as us, to destroy the secret strongholds of the God Organization. However, those people were ruthless, not leaving a single survivor. I have notified the intelligence agency to investigate the origins of the other party."
"There’s no need to check. I know their identity. They are not our enemies, no need to worry."
Curious, Zhou Qi asked, "Then who are they...?"
"Secret Society," replied Su i.
She had called the porridge girl yesterday to explain Ling Chen’s situation. She was well aware of Ling Chen’s background and his relationship with the Secret Society. Now with Ling Chen’s whereabouts unknown and his life or death uncertain, the Secret Society would surely take action.
If Ling Chen were truly dead, the Secret Society would probably launch a frenzied retaliation.
Zhou Qi said in surprise, "The Secret Society has always been neutral. Why would they suddenly clash with the God Organization?"
"That’s not for you to worry about. Just do your part."
"Understood."
...
At this mont, on the calm sea surface, Ling Chen stood upright with concentration. However, in less than a second, his body imdiately sank into the sea.
After splashing around a few tis, Ling Chen erged from the surface, and looking at Su He on the fishing boat, said with a distressed face, "Elder Su, I can’t do it."
"It’s not that you can’t do it; you haven’t grasped the correct thod. I’ve told you, when you control your Inner Strength, you must cast aside all distractions, be calm and serene, and integrate yourself with everything around you. Imagine yourself as part of the sea, not thinking about how to stand on its surface."
Ling Chen gave a wry smile. After several days, he had failed countless tis, having to soak in the icy seawater for at least a few hours every day. Even with his constitution, it was almost unbearable, and he had thought of giving up several tis. Yet, when Su He beca serious, he was even stricter than the strictest ntor, giving Ling Chen no chance to retreat and always forcing him to continue.
After listening to Su He’s guidance, Ling Chen had no choice but to climb back onto the boat and continue trying.
At this mont, he was unaware that due to his disappearance, Heavenly chanism Pavilion and Secret Society, these two mysterious forces, had already launched a furious retaliation against the God Organization.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Chen cleared his mind of all distractions, stood at the bow of the boat with eyes slightly closed, feeling the cold sea breeze blow against him.
Integration!
Thinking of Su He’s teachings, Ling Chen let go of his reservations, felt the raging sea breeze around him, listened to the surging waves, and then visualized these scenes in his mind, imrsing himself in them.
Gradually, he felt as if his body was light and airy, as if turning into a breeze, rging with the wind and drifting along with it.
At that mont, he seed to forget the existence of his body, allowing his consciousness to soar.
After a mont passed, Ling Chen maintained steady breathing, quietly drawing up the Inner Strength from his Dantian, slowly channeling it through his body, finally gathering it in his legs.
As Inner Strength gradually concentrated, Ling Chen stepped confidently off the bow of the fishing boat onto the sea surface without hesitation.
The mont his feet touched the sea, his body suddenly sank down sharply.
Ling Chen had experienced this feeling many tis before, and every ti at this mont, he couldn’t help but panic, fearing he would sink into the water again.
