Chapter 493: Chapter 492 Concerns
Yang Fei, although his Divine Soul had suffered damage and he was in poor condition, did not actually need to rest at the moment.
Seeing Qin Yanyang give solemn orders to her subordinates, and going as far as to communicate with Imperial City, a chill ran through him, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Wife, what’s going on?"
Qin Yanyang said, "We’ve already torn our faces, it’s necessary to be cautious."
Yang Fei instantly understood.
Qin Yanyang didn’t pay him any more attention and continued, "What about those people we captured yesterday?"
A squad leader from the Military Department immediately said respectfully, "Reporting to the commander, they are over there."
He said this while pointing to a spacious tent.
At this time, Mo Yinpeng had already connected her to the Imperial City hotline. Qin Yanyang didn’t avoid anyone and directly reported the situation.
Clearly, a reprimand came through on the phone, but Qin Yanyang didn’t argue, listening quietly, and finally stated her own request, "The ambition of the Hidden Sect is undeniable. Now, they’re likely to gather a large number of strong individuals at the entrance of the passage, possibly trying to test our vitality, so I request the highest command authority from above, while also asking for additional Military Department personnel and special weapons."
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, the voice said, "Granted! But remember this, you must ensure that no disturbances arise over there, or your boss can’t protect you."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission," Qin Yanyang said decisively, hanging up the phone.
She hurried straight to the tent where the young people from the Hidden Sect were being detained.
Upon entering the tent, she saw those arrogant youngsters from the Hidden Sect all squatting on the ground, each one handcuffed and shackled with fine iron, and also injected with a special drug, their True Yuan dissipating and unable to be used.
All of them were outstanding youths from the aristocratic families of the Hidden Sect, not representatives of the major Sects, but they were all elite, pampered from birth, and superior to others, never having suffered such humiliation.
Now seeing Qin Yanyang appear, many of them glared furiously, but some secretly revered her and didn’t dare to look her in the eye.
Qin Yanyang said indifferently, "Zhuge Qingyun is already dead."
With just that short sentence, the bodies of those Hidden Sect youths who had dared to glare at Qin Yanyang trembled, and a chill entered their hearts.
They thought of Duanmu Cong.
This madwoman truly dared to strike down those high and mighty sons and daughters of the Hidden Sect.
They hadn’t expected that Zhuge Qingyun, whom she took as a hostage to the Hidden Sect, would also be dead.
Had this person completely lost her mind?
While everyone was being frightened by Qin Yanyang’s words, she continued, "It took a day, but I rescued my husband back."
Only then did the people notice Yang Fei beside Qin Yanyang, and they were all shocked.
How was that possible?
The entrance to the passage had already been sealed off, and so many experts from the Hidden Sect World were guarding it, how could they have let these two people escape?
"Yesterday, Mo Li and Chen Liangzhong, two strong practitioners of the Divine Travel Realm, broke out trying to save you. You must have seen their wretched state, right?" Qin Yanyang continued.
The eighteen young elites from the Hidden Sect fell completely silent.
At this moment, their spirits were thoroughly crushed.
Cultivators violating laws with their martial prowess was based on the premise that they had powerful martial strength and could disregard conventional military forces.
Now that they had experienced the power of the conventional military forces, their courage was shattered, and they no longer had their previous arrogance and haughtiness.
Her gaze sweeping over the faces of everyone, Qin Yanyang was very pleased with their behavior and decisively said, "Now that my husband has returned safe and unharmed, I don’t want to provoke a dispute between the two worlds. Therefore, I will not pursue the matter of you disregarding the rules and coming into the mundane world, and have decided to let you go back."
Upon hearing this, the people from the Hidden Sect were overjoyed, all their eyes lighting up.
Wang Tianlai couldn’t help but ask, "Do you have any conditions?"
Qin Yanyang responded with a smile, a look of contempt on his face, "I am not shameless like those people from Hidden Sect, with so many conditions. However, I do want you to take a few messages back."
Upon hearing this, Wang Tianlai was taken aback, not expecting Qin Yanyang to demand no conditions at all, and couldn’t help but ask, "What message do you want to convey?"
Qin Yanyang said, "Go back and tell the ancestors of Hidden Sect that in light of Hidden Sect’s rule-breaking, repeatedly allowing its members to go out, and these outsiders not being restrained, provoking the authority of Divine Continent Country’s laws, the Divine Continent Country has decided to implement military control over the passage exits. From now on, if people from Hidden Sect wish to go out, they must register.
"Those who are registered and neglect the common laws and violate the regulations, secular authorities have the right to punish them, and even the aristocratic family and Sect of the lawbreakers have the responsibility of lax discipline."
The crowd from Hidden Sect, upon hearing these words, all wore expressions of humiliation and anger.
Isn’t this essentially locking down the Hidden Sect World?
Since when did people from the Hidden Sect World have to consider the feelings of the outside world before stepping out?
Yet they were angry but dared not speak.
"Remember my words, you must convey them accurately, without missing a single character, to the people inside," Qin Yanyang said.
Wang Tianlai snorted coldly, grinding his teeth, "Rest assured, I will relay your message without omission. But have you thought through the consequences of doing this?"
Qin Yanyang’s gaze became icy as he stared at Wang Tianlai, "I asked you to relay a message, not to talk back. There are eighteen people here, and it only takes one to pass on a message."
Wang Tianlai’s mouth twitched, nearly choking to death.
He desperately wanted to rush over and fight Qin Yanyang to the death, but remembering how Duanmu Cong didn’t even leave a corpse behind, and how Mo Li and Chen Liangzhong, powerful Divine Travel Realm cultivators, had embarrassingly fled back, he held back.
A temporary setback is nothing; a truly great man is one who can bend and stretch at will.
"Tell them that Divine Continent Country has no intention of being enemies with Hidden Sect. Since ancient times, Hidden Sect and Divine Continent have originated from the same family, with the same blood running through our veins, all of us descendants of Yanhuang. However, Hidden Sect needs to let go of its aloof attitude. From now on, if Hidden Sect respects the common people, both worlds can live in harmony, support each other, and make collective progress. But if someone, for personal ambitions, acts recklessly and undermines unity, then do not blame the Divine Continent for its ruthless artillery fire!" Qin Yanyang continued.
Wang Tianlai and the other young members of Hidden Sect felt a chill in their hearts, experiencing a suffocating pressure emanating from Qin Yanyang.
At that moment, they had the illusion that Hidden Sect might indeed have to follow the lead of Divine Continent Country.
"Is there anything else?" Wang Tianlai took a deep breath and asked with a heavy voice.
Qin Yanyang waved his hand, "That’s all. Let them go."
However, the latter sentence was addressed to the squad leader beside him.
The Military Department members responsible for guarding these young talents from Hidden Sect immediately threw out a chain of keys for them to unlock by themselves.
Afterward, these people were herded to the area below the channel exit, and then a few were given the antidote.
After taking the antidote, their True Qi was freed, and they each carried two people as they ascended into the sky, breaking through the planar channel and returning to the Hidden Sect World.
Once Wang Tianlai and the others had left, Qin Yanyang, with a solemn expression, surveyed his surroundings, inspecting the troops he had brought with him.
The Military Department had thirty people, and three teams from the Divine Continent’s top special forces had come, plus some logistics and communications soldiers, putting the number stationed here at over a hundred.
Although it was only a mere hundred soldiers, the equipment of this force was the most sophisticated in the world, especially that batch of special weapons designed specifically for Innate and Divine Travel Realm experts. With such firepower, any cultivator below the Divine Travel Realm would have to submit.
But Qin Yanyang’s brows were deeply furrowed, and his eyes were filled with worry.
The overall strength of Hidden Sect was too strong. If those people desperately charged out, his men would likely be unable to stop them.
If even one Divine Travel Realm expert launched a group attack with their Divine Soul, their own formation would collapse.
Let’s hope they don’t have the audacity to do that!
Qin Yanyang thought silently, when a large hand reached out and took hold of his smaller one.
Turning to look, Yang Fei stood beside her with a determined gaze, whispering, "It’s okay, I’m here."
