Chapter 1248: Chapter 1248: Confidential Meeting
Mingyue understood what Ye Luo was about to do, and she also knew that their ability to stay safely in the Mysterious Valley was the best support they could offer to Ye Luo.
After parting with the four women, Ye Luo went directly to the boss’s office.
As expected, Zhao Gang had already prepared everything and was just waiting for Ye Luo to come.
"Boss!"
"All right, Ye Luo, go ahead, no need to say anything else, report back once you arrive at the location. Oh, this time, it really is a calamity I’ve been dreading!"
Zhao Gang’s face wore a worried look, and it seemed that in just a short time, his hair had turned significantly whiter.
Evidently, the recent events had bleached Zhao Gang’s hair!
Seeing Zhao Gang’s appearance, Ye Luo already sensed that the situation was probably much more severe than he had imagined.
What exactly had the Security Bureau and other forces come to know?
He did not ask but silently followed Zhao Gang, heading outside.
Outside, a car had already been waiting, and soon, the two of them set off.
After a little over half an hour, Ye Luo saw another dozen or so vehicles converging. Among them were Elder Shi, the Captain of the War God, and others.
This meeting was bound to be extraordinary.
"Ye Luo, remember not to speak rashly later. Whatever the chief asks you, just respond to that. Don’t report anything trivial, understand?"
Suddenly, Zhao Gang turned his head and cautioned Ye Luo.
Ye Luo was slightly startled; Zhao Gang’s behavior today was somewhat abnormal, and Ye Luo could even see that Zhao Gang was nervous!
"Boss, what’s happening?"
"Nothing, I’m fine!"
"All right, boss, who exactly are we going to meet? You seem really nervous."
Ye Luo spoke with a smile, finding it rare to see Zhao Gang so tense.
"You little rascal, be serious. Don’t disgrace our Security Bureau later. Today, we are going to meet the Dragon Venerate. I hadn’t planned to bring you along, but you’re just lucky to have caught up!"
Dragon Venerate?
Ye Luo was taken aback. He had not expected that they would be meeting the Dragon Venerate, rumored to be the biggest boss in the Capital City!
It seemed that this matter was indeed very serious, serious enough to personally involve the Dragon Venerate.
Seeing Zhao Gang’s cautious demeanor, Ye Luo refrained from speaking further and silently waited.
As they proceeded, the convoy grew larger. It was unknown how many people were participating this time.
Soon, the convoy arrived at an elegantly situated villa.
After getting out of the car and seeing the security forces around, Ye Luo harbored no doubts!
Because, just the four soldiers standing guard at the gate had all reached the Saint Realm!
And through his Clairvoyant Eye, Ye Luo saw countless obvious and hidden guards within the villa!
The lowest-ranking soldiers were all at the Saint Realm!
Such a stringent guard was undoubtedly only for the Dragon Venerate.
Many people alighted from the vehicle, some of whom Ye Luo knew and some he did not. Yet, Ye Luo could tell that they all seemed quite nervous.
After all, meeting the Dragon Venerate was considered a major event in the eyes of many.
However, Ye Luo stood out as the most relaxed individual among the group.
Soon, everyone entered the villa and, under the guidance of a powerful Controlling Qi Realm expert, came to a banquet hall.
An imposing, elderly man was already waiting there.
The elderly man was very approachable, his face wearing a soothing smile.
Upon seeing everyone arrive, he gestured for them to sit down wherever they wished.
"Today, I’ve gathered everyone here because I’m sure you all know why—things have not been peaceful these past few days!"
The elder spoke first.
And everyone was silent, none daring to speak out easily.
"Alright, Zhao, why don’t you start off by telling us what you know, those people—who exactly are they, and why have people from multiple countries entered our nation simultaneously."
The meeting began, but Ye Luo remained silent throughout. For him, this meeting was not something he particularly cared about; he simply wanted to gather more information.
However, as the meeting progressed, Ye Luo realized that this matter was not simple at all.
Zombie attacks, infiltration by other countries along the border, and even some internal family forces in the country were making their moves!
Most critically, it was discovered that several high-ranking officials were under control!
Even one among them was a very high-ranking official!
Though these people were promptly controlled, who could know if there were other infiltrators?
And all fingers pointed toward the same force!
The Corpse King Palace!
This time, even the Hidden Sect had sent representatives, but the reported situation was far from optimistic.
Among the twelve superior forces of the Hidden Sect, unbelievably, two had already internally split!
And the other forces had discovered infiltrators from the Corpse King Palace!
What exactly did the Corpse King Palace intend to do, to overthrow the entire Huaxia?
The meeting lasted four entire hours!
Those tense, critical four hours also made Ye Luo understand the expression "trouble is brewing."
The representatives of the Hidden Sect even stated that they were part of Huaxia too and were willing to gather forces to fight against the Corpse King Palace!
And the eventual outcome of this meeting was the formation of a coalition, a special department aimed specifically at combatting the Corpse King Palace!
...
Just as the meeting was about to conclude, the Venerate Dragon turned to Ye Luo and said, "You must be Ye Luo, Medical Martial God Ye Luo, the foremost among Huaxia’s younger generation!"
"Thank you for your praise, Venerate, I humbly cannot accept it," responded Ye Luo.
Ye Luo did not expect the Venerate Dragon to give him such high praise.
"Ye Luo, since you too attended this meeting, you must have important matters to report. Since you are the only young participant, we should consider your views carefully," said the Venerate Dragon with a smile.
"Yes, I indeed have significant matters to report to everyone."
Ye Luo stood up and looked around at the crowd, beginning his announcement.
"The Corpse King Palace is far stronger than you all imagine. This time, even though we have formed a special department with both the secular forces and the Hidden Sect, we cannot be complacent because the Corpse King Palace has mastered the method to mass-produce Controlling Qi Realm warriors!"
What!
Ye Luo’s words raised a storm of shock, and now no one could remain seated.
The Controlling Qi Realm!
How many Controlling Qi Realm practitioners were there in all of Huaxia?
Even if one counted all the warriors in the Controlling Qi Realm from the Hidden Sect and all the hermits who never left their isolation, it would only amount to a few hundred at most!
But now, Ye Luo was saying that the Corpse King Palace could mass-produce Controlling Qi Realm warriors, how could the audience not be shocked!
At this moment, these high-ranking officials, who could shake Huaxia with a stomp, involuntarily drew in a breath of cold air.
