As Yang Fei responded, his figure had already reached the old man opposite.
The old man's eyes widened in disbelief. He saw the Tang saber in Yang Fei's hand!
This was not something just anyone could possess.
It was something they had seen not long ago on television, in the globally broadcast footage, something that commanded the utmost respect from all Great Hua citizens!
The cold weapon of the War God Corps, the Tang saber!
The blood-red Tang saber swung out.
The old man's head directly fell to the ground, rolling a considerable distance forward, leaving a trail of blood!
"Ah! Someone's been killed, someone's really been killed!"
Someone immediately shrieked.
Zhou Fatao's face turned extremely pale. He immediately prostrated himself, no longer daring to look up.
"All of you, shut up!"
Yang Fei's angry roar instantly restored a deathly silence to the surroundings!
Meanwhile, Ling Feng calmly found a chair and sat down.
At this point, Ling Feng was the only one sitting in the entire venue.
Ling Feng's gaze swept over everyone with indifference.
Not a single person present dared to meet Ling Feng's eyes directly.
"What I'm asking you to do now is what I've already made clear. Originally, I had prepared some rewards for you. However, after witnessing what just happened, I've changed my mind. I'm giving you a chance to atone. Do as you're told, and this matter is absolutely confidential. If there's any leak, what awaits you will be far worse than just death."
Ling Feng's words settled, and he slowly stood up, speaking to Zhou Fatao in a deep voice, "The plan I gave you earlier, choose suitable people to carry it out yourself. Three days from now, if there's no decent infrastructure, your consequences will be severe!"
Zhou Fatao trembled all over and repeatedly nodded at Ling Feng, "Yes, Heavenly Venerate, please rest assured. This old man will definitely urge them to do their work!"
Ling Feng said nothing, waved to Yang Fei, and turned to leave.
Yang Fei followed Ling Feng into the elevator, feeling somewhat indignant. "These scoundrels, they earn so much ill-gotten money every day, can they really sleep soundly?"
Ling Feng glanced back at Yang Fei and said calmly, "For most people, it's only when they have no money that they can't sleep. No one loses sleep over having too much money. However, from now on, they won't have any good sleep. The initial investment can be completed by themselves. For the later stages, our War Zone personnel will have to do the work. I don't trust these people!"
Yang Fei quickly nodded repeatedly at Ling Feng, "Yes, your subordinate understands!"
As the two of them left.
In the former conference room, Zhou Fatao slowly stood up, turning to look at everyone with an extremely cold expression. "You scoundrels, do you know who you were speaking to just now?"
Everyone trembled. This was the answer they wanted to know, but Ling Feng had not given them any response!
As everyone trembled while looking at the headless corpse.
Zhou Fatao took a deep breath and said coldly, "All citizens of Great Hua will feel ashamed of what you have done today. It was the War God Ling Tian himself who gave you orders. Do you know what a rare opportunity this is? Do you know that with just one word from the War God, he could have countless people replace you and completely ruin your companies?!"
Whoosh!
Instantly, the entire venue erupted!
"What? It was War God Ling Tian?!"
"He, he's actually War God Ling Tian!"
"My heavens, he's so young!"
"I actually saw the true appearance of War God Ling Tian. I... you scoundrel, how could I have missed such a great opportunity? Mr. Zhou, why didn't you say so earlier? If I had known it was War God Ling Tian, I would have sold everything to obey his command!"
"Yes, we're finished, we're truly finished this time!"
"Shameful, too shameful. War God Ling Tian asking us to do these things must be extremely important for our Great Hua!"
"Don't let it out, no one must spread this matter. This is classified, top secret!"
...
As the crowd became increasingly agitated, regretful, and angry, the temperature in the room rose steadily.
Huang Wenhua, however, swallowed hard and cautiously approached Zhou Fatao, asking, "Mr. Zhou, why would the War God personally give orders? He..."
"Shut up, you are not qualified to ask anything, you are only qualified to act. Huang Wenhua, I'm telling you, everything before was your dereliction of duty. If you cannot complete this mission properly, you are also doomed!"
Zhou Fatao rebuked.
Huang Wenhua was so scared he almost knelt on the ground, then repeatedly nodded, "Yes, yes, I will do my utmost!"
Others also expressed their determination to do a good job, no longer considering any gains or losses.
Instead, many people pleaded with Zhou Fatao, "Mr. Zhou, please, you must speak well of me in front of War God Ling Tian!"
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, you must know that I'm not a bad person. I only earn my own share. This matter has really dragged innocent people into trouble!"
Hearing these voices, Zhou Fatao became increasingly annoyed, but he knew he couldn't continue to oppress these people at this moment.
Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Let me be blunt with you. If it weren't for your performance just now, the War God had prepared many precious cultivation techniques for you. Note that I'm not talking about martial arts techniques, but cultivation techniques. The historical trend of universal cultivation has arrived. You should understand why the War God is so powerful, right? You were originally among the first batch of strong individuals to have the chance to lead, but... you almost missed this opportunity!"
Instantly, many people broke down.
Before, regret could make them shed tears; now, regret made them wish they could jump off the building.
"No, Mr. Zhou, you just said we *almost* missed this opportunity, meaning we still have a chance, right?"
"Mr. Zhou, do we, do we really still have a chance?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Even if we can't get cultivation techniques, it doesn't matter. I just want to be forgiven by the War God. I can't let my descendants be shamed with me! This is too humiliating, this is simply being a sinner!"
"Yes, we must work hard and strive for the War God's forgiveness!"
...
Zhou Fatao looked at everyone deeply, and finally nodded, "It seems you all understand yourselves. That's right, your only chance, and your last chance, is to do the current task to the best of your ability. This is not the time to consider gains and losses. What the War God bestows upon you is definitely not something you can buy with money, understand?!"
"Yes! I will do my utmost!"
"Why care about money at this point!"
"We, we'll set off now. Mr. Zhou, let's start working immediately!"
"To the wilderness area, we'll depart right away. This time, we must seize the opportunity!"
