This also proves that their stronghold is not on Canglan Star, or rather, they have a way to return to Canglan Star without going through the Shelter.
Either way, it's valuable intelligence.
"Director Bai, are we really letting them just leave? Should I send someone to take care of them halfway..."
Beside him.
Xu Qiu made a throat-slitting motion.
Baiyu turned his head and glanced at him: "Among them are two Tier Four Martial Artists and a Grandmaster.
Are you sure you want to make a move?"
Xu Qiu smiled awkwardly, scratching his head: "Isn't Director Bai here with us? Besides, if we take action, we can gather a large army and deploy the mechanical armor cluster. Can a severely injured Grandmaster really overturn us?"
Listening to his suggestion, Baiyu was quite tempted.
But he immediately dismissed the idea.
He was a man of his word, and there was no need for such actions. These people pose no threat to him once they return.
Long Yuan will face a big problem from the Anomaly Bureau soon.
By then, it will be difficult for them to protect themselves, so why would they bother about him?
To Long Yuan.
Baiyu is just one of their many enemies.
Moreover.
He might not even be considered an enemy.
"Let's go. We still need to integrate those Underground Martial Artists, which is a big task to gather information about the underground world from them." Baiyu stated with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, Xu Qiu nodded hastily, aware of the importance of the matter.
...
The integration of Underground Martial Artists into the Security Bureau has been proceeding systematically these days.
Baiyu visits the Security Bureau every day for hands-on supervision.
This matter is of great significance. The background of each Underground Martial Artist needs to be verified and recorded, and corresponding actions must be taken.
Hence the workload is enormous.
Baiyu only trusts Qiong Xue and a few other close senior officials of the Security Bureau to handle it, which is why progress is slow.
Among over a hundred Underground Martial Artist leaders.
Some have a dozen followers, while others have more than a hundred, forming gangs.
All these need to be recorded gradually.
Baiyu promised them that everyone would maintain their previous status. For example, if you had a dozen brothers before, after joining, you'd be a group leader managing ten people.
And so forth.
The only difference is that everyone will be reorganized into the Security Bureau's team.
In the end.
Baiyu discovered that the Underground Martial Artists joining reached more than three thousand people.
This...
It's almost enough to form a Martial Artist combat regiment.
He previously hadn't realized the number of Underground Martial Artists would be so large, and this was just those associated with Dragon Head.
Merely the tip of an iceberg.
The Underground Martial Artist world of Mountain City seems to have a warped kind of prosperity.
The numbers are scary.
If Baiyu can completely integrate the underground world forces, the Security Bureau would instantly become the second-largest official power in Mountain City, second only to the army.
Neither the Anomaly Bureau nor the Armed Department could compare.
Besides assigning positions to these newly aligned Underground Martial Artists, Baiyu also established a series of rewards and penalties, and improved the internal regulations of the Security Bureau.
Only little more than a hundred received positions.
The immense scale and size of the Security Bureau now, coupled with completely separating and reorganizing old acquaintances and units, means these people can't cause any trouble.
Moreover.
Baiyu has planted many Veterans Mutual Aid Association members in the Security Bureau.
If any anomaly arises.
He can instantly receive reports from both the Mutual Aid Association and the Security Bureau.
Ensuring mutual supervision between the two departments is crucial for stable development, otherwise, problems arise when one loses restraint.
If Baiyu's control diminishes, chaos of all kinds would ensue.
While organizing this group of Underground Martial Artists, Baiyu has not been idle, frequently returning to the Earl's Mansion, and hasn't stopped the Moon Lady's lessons either.
With Baiyu's assistance.
The Moon Lady's understanding of extraordinary knowledge and the Magic Elixir Sequence has greatly improved.
Baiyu's rate of digesting the Magic Elixir has also been rapid during this period.
Only now does he realize the advantages of having a Master.
It's a win-win.
This not only allows cultivating the strength of his own people but also accelerates his understanding of the Magic Elixir.
Baiyu feels.
As he continues to understand the digestion of the Magic Elixir, there's a sensation of new power ready to be developed.
This Magic Elixir Sequence.
Upon advancing, grants the fundamental ability of its level, and through ongoing digestion, these abilities may upgrade, or new abilities might be developed.
Recently, Baiyu feels.
He should develop new abilities soon.
...
As time passed day by day.
Shortly after the initial news of the alien army invasion, Mountain City experienced a brief moment of tension, and then gradually relaxed.
Until recently.
The atmosphere of Mountain City has completely returned to its former state, presenting an image of bliss and harmony.
However.
This is just a facade.
In fact, the noble class, upper echelons, and powerful aristocrats of Mountain City have been thrown into a state of paranoia under Baiyu's manipulation during this period, wary of every rustle and whisper.
No one dares to speak openly.
Fearing Baiyu would suddenly visit, leading the Security Bureau's army to raid homes without discussion.
A month later.
Baiyu had just finished the complete integration and strategy planning within the Security Bureau. They were performing quite well, having gotten rid of some banditry among Underground Martial Artists, at least teaching them teamwork.
Afterwards.
Baiyu went around questioning them on information about the underground martial artist world.
And whether they knew about any spies, traitors, or defectors.
Upon asking.
He really uncovered quite a bit.
Some Underground Martial Artists' cultivation resources might indeed come from alien support, categorizing them as traitorous dogs.
Several such groups were among the Underground Martial Artists recruited by Baiyu.
Of course.
These individuals were swiftly interrogated and disposed of.
Additionally, Baiyu gained other intelligence from the Underground Martial Artists' mouths, apprehending a batch of spies.
Undoubtedly.
During this process, Baiyu's notorious reputation among the populace escalated, dubbed a bloodthirsty executioner who kills without blinking, becoming urban legends in parts of Mountain City used to scare children.
And those Underground Martial Artists joining the Security Bureau also faced severe backlash.
Simply due to helping Baiyu lead the way, and Baiyu not recruiting new Underground Martial Artists.
Such matters are realistic.
Everyone previously lived in the same world underground, only living their underground lives. Now one suddenly rises, which unbalances the others.
Consequently.
Baiyu doesn't give it much thought.
The Security Bureau's manpower has reached its limit, even operating above capacity. Baiyu cannot integrate more Underground Martial Artists.
Moreover, in Mountain City.
Only he dares to set such a precedent, allowing Underground Martial Artists to become official organization members.
It's evident.
The grievances within those unintegrated Underground Martial Artists are immense.
So, if they wish to talk behind his back, let them. Being spoken of doesn't hurt anyone. Once the opportunity arises, all will be settled together.
Through Baiyu's endeavors.
The entire underground world of Mountain City has quieted down during this period, without any movement.
Baiyu also dispatched people to monitor the entire underground world.
Therefore.
Mountain City's underground world has entered an unprecedented period of tranquility.
Even if spies or traitors exist.
In such times, they dare not move excessively.
On April 1st.
In the morning.
Baiyu wore a neat white suit, followed by four Security Bureau experts, all dressed in black suits.
The five stood before the Shelter's Teleportation Gate.
On the other side.
He Jin was dressed similarly, his hair styled meticulously, exuding vitality, followed by four suit-clad criminals.
Elsewhere.
Since Armed Department Minister Qiu Yun had been captured, a deputy minister represented him this time.
Hence.
Leaders from the Security Bureau, Anomaly Bureau, and Armed Department.
Mountain City's three major departments stood before the Teleportation Light Gate, silently waiting.
As time ticked by.
No one expressed any dissatisfaction, not even He Jin who lowered his head, standing motionlessly like a wooden stake.
Until when everyone waited until noon.
Suddenly.
Ripples appeared within the Light Gate, gradually revealing a shadowy figure.
