"It must be the government stepping in, otherwise with Lin Beichen’s strength... even if he is very strong, it is impossible to kill so many elite assassins at once!"
Sha Xin coldly said.
It was still the secret base of the Golden Mountain Sect, but today’s meeting included only the Great Elder.
Because the incident happened so suddenly, the other elders couldn’t arrive in time and could only join via telephone conference.
"According to the intelligence I received, Lin Beichen’s Dragon Country established a special squad. Although the squad size is small, their status is very high. Even the lowest-ranked member is at least a lieutenant colonel!
Lin Beichen is the direct commander of this squad. Although he is not in the official ranks, his status is equivalent to that of a general!
And judging from the strength he has shown, the intelligence we received from Charlie Chan was incorrect. This person’s strength is far beyond what we imagined; otherwise, the deadly Cobra couldn’t have failed to escape."
Sha Xin spoke leisurely.
"Great Elder, we’ve gotten ourselves into trouble this time."
Everyone present remained silent.
With the strength of the Golden Mountain Sect, even facing a formidable enemy, no matter how strong the opponent, there was no reason to be afraid.
The Golden Mountain Sect has its pride. They are a super-large organization with influence spanning across continents, with tens of thousands of followers under their command.
How can the strength of one person compare to a super organization of tens of thousands?
But if the Dragon Country’s government steps in, it’s a different story.
Dragon Country was once very weak, but its development in the past 30 years is evident to all.
In just a few decades, it has advanced the path that others take hundreds of years to walk, and it will continue to develop at high speed in the foreseeable future.
The rise of such a colossal force would not only change the world’s structure but also crush other countries’ living space.
Compared to a company, the Golden Mountain Sect is certainly a giant, but compared to a country, it’s barely a fraction.
The Great Elder sat in place, his face extremely sullen. It took him a long time to speak:
"Stop all actions, withdraw the bounty, and issue an apology announcement to defuse the situation."
The faces of all the elders present became even gloomier.
Stopping actions, issuing an apology announcement, and withdrawing the bounty.
These three slaps would make the Golden Mountain Sect lose all its face.
"Great Elder, are we just going to let this go?"
One of the elders asked, his eyes filled with reluctance.
The Great Elder shook his head silently.
"Just follow the orders. I know what I’m doing; this matter won’t end like this. The Golden Mountain Sect has its dignity, and I must be accountable to tens of thousands of brothers."
The Great Elder calmed everyone down with a few words and then walked out.
A moment later, he arrived at another room, where only a young man was sitting.
The young man was lying on the sofa with his feet up. When he saw the Great Elder enter, his expression immediately turned cold.
"My time is precious. If you call me back without a task, I will choose my target myself! I heard there are many elders in the Golden Mountain Sect. Killing one or two should be no big deal, right?"
"You’re being presumptuous!"
The Great Elder roared, and his killing intent surged towards the young man like a gale.
In the Golden Mountain Sect, in terms of strength, aside from Qin Wenwu, it was the Great Elder.
Although the strengths of the other elders were comparable, they were exceptionally cautious when facing the Great Elder!
Because they all knew, the Great Elder rarely took action, but his strength was formidable and far from something they could easily handle.
Yet, facing the Great Elder’s killing intent, the young man remained calm, allowing the killing intent to rage while staying firmly seated on the sofa without any reaction.
It was only after dozens of seconds that the Great Elder retracted his killing intent and coldly gazed at the young man.
"Qin Wenwu is dead, killed by a young genius barely 20 years old. You’ve always considered yourself invincible in talent, so I ask you, in a one-on-one fight, do you have the confidence to kill Qin Wenwu?"
At these words, the lazy look on the young man’s face vanished instantly, replaced by a stunned gaze directed at the Great Elder.
Qin Wenwu is dead!
How is that possible?
...
Amidst the turmoil in the Golden Mountain Sect, Zhang Xiu’ai once again visited Zhongcheng Hall.
When Lin Beichen saw Zhang Xiu’ai, she was in a frenzy.
The several young supervisors who followed her looked exhausted and disheveled, having obviously not slept all night.
Yesterday, Lin Beichen went on a killing spree without deliberately hiding it or dealing with the bodies.
Over 70 people died in one night, all of whom were well-known foreigners.
Even if they weren’t significant figures abroad, it still caused a huge sensation.
Moreover, these people were either carrying murder cases or sneaking into the Imperial Capital with banned weapons.
Although the Security Association sealed the scene and reported to higher authorities to suppress the news, the ensuing storm was already brewing.
Once the storm begins, its impact is immeasurable.
"Mr. Lin, you owe me an explanation."
Zhang Xiu’ai coldly said, her gaze towards Lin Beichen full of killing intent.
Yesterday, she was still worried about Lin Beichen’s safety, but after observing all night, she was curious why the assassins hadn’t taken action.
As a result, before dawn, news arrived that various parts of the Imperial Capital were experiencing consecutive murders, and the victims died in bizarre ways, all of them foreigners.
From last night until now, Zhang Xiu’ai hadn’t even had time for a drink of water, dealing with the aftermath of the murders everywhere.
If it wasn’t here discovering the dead bodies, it was there witnesses causing a commotion.
By the time Zhang Xiu’ai arrived at the scene, she had almost a splitting headache.
These victims, some had their bodies severed in mid-air, some were burned to charcoal, and some were directly crushed into pulp.
