In the tunnel.
At the end of the passage, a military man was waiting.
When he saw Nan yunyue and the others, this person did not say anything and immediately left the underground cave!
When Fang ping saw this, he was dumbfounded!
The others did not think much of it, but Qin Fengqing chuckled and said,"They have a Messenger."
In other words, he did not give Fang ping the chance to show off.
Fang ping darted him a look and laughed."What does it have to do with me? You think I'm showing off? What a joke, do I need to show off? "I've made great contributions in Tiannan catacombs ..."
As he said that, Fang ping looked at Lee deyong and said,"Commander Li, can the military give me a ... The highest-level Medal of Honor later?"
"No problem!"
Li deyong agreed readily!
"Then, can you inform the entire Army that I'm the recipient of the medal?" Fang ping asked.
"No problem!"
Lee deyong nodded again.
Fang ping was satisfied. He shot a glance at Qin Fengqing and sneered,"Take a look, understand?"
Qin Fengqing did not say a word!
Damn it, he was speechless.
To the military, it was just a matter of giving out medals. It was a matter of benefit and no cost. It was not difficult.
Fang ping had indeed made a great contribution.
If they gave him more medals and he didn't want to pay, the military could give him a basket of medals.
160 billion!
Thinking about it, Lee deyong and the others began to have a headache for the central government.
This debt would not be easy to repay.
Of course, it had nothing to do with them. They were only responsible for fighting, so don't look for them for these things.
……
When they came out of the catacombs, the soldiers outside already knew that they were coming out.
When they saw everyone come out, the cheers came one after another!
It's out!
"Since he's out, it means that the situation in Tiannan catacombs has stabilized!
Furthermore, Nan yunyue had even brought out the corpse of a gigantic monster beast. It was just a monster beast corpse. If it was a monster plant, unless it was cut off, it might not even be able to bring out a complete rank-9 monster plant.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
“……”
The high-pitched cheers spread further and further. A few grandmasters who stayed behind flew down from the surrounding valleys in excitement.
Then ... Without any cheers or questions, the grandmasters put their right hands across their chests and said in a solemn voice,""The humans will win!"
In the surroundings, thousands of martial artists in military uniforms revealed themselves and performed a martial Dao salute!
A military salute was only for ordinary people.
A martial artist had to perform a martial Dao salute. This was the greatest respect.
At this moment, some of the military martial artists were excited, some were excited, and some were in tears!
In these five days, everyone was worried, nervous, nervous, and even a little desperate!
On the second day after Nan yunyue's group left, some of them entered.
When they saw the remains of human bones in the passage, many people cried bitterly.
It was just a 1000-meter-long passage, and many grandmasters had died.
They had thought that only a few people had returned, but ... They had all been wiped out!
However, at this moment, seeing so many grandmasters return alive, everyone was excited and excited. They were back!
Even if there were fewer people, at least there were so many who had returned.
"Their return also means that the situation in Tiannan's catacombs has stabilized.
Just as these people were getting excited, Nan yunyue suddenly looked into the distance. In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared in front of everyone.
It was not Li Zhen. Li Zhen was still guarding the Beihu catacombs.
Zhang Tao was here!
A peak expert rushed over at the first moment.
"Department head Zhang!"
"Minister!"
“……”
Everyone greeted him, and Zhang Tao nodded with a smile. As he smiled, his voice grew louder and louder!
"Good job!"
"Chinese martial artists are the children of heroes!"
Zhang Tao laughed out loud. The next moment, a large amount of golden material appeared on his body.
The Golden substance instantly surged toward the injured Grandmaster powerhouses.
"Department head Zhang, you can't do that!" Someone hurriedly said.
"This is nothing!"
Zhang Tao laughed heartily and said,"all of you are well and alive!" "I will live until the day the catacombs are destroyed, until the day when Chinese martial artists practice martial arts only to strengthen their bodies!
Hahaha ..."
Compared to Li Zhen's reticence and indifference, Zhang Tao seemed to have a much more straightforward personality.
He looked like he was in his forties or fifties, but in reality, he was already over eighty.
If an expert like him was willing, he could even reforge his flesh and return to his youth, no matter how young he was.
A large amount of imperishable substance gushed out from Zhang Tao's body, helping everyone to heal.
To a peak expert, this might not be much.
However, everyone knew that no matter how strong a Paragon was, the imperishable substance was not infinite.
However, as Zhang Tao laughed, he felt a little strange.
The injuries ... Didn't seem that serious.
Moreover, the ones who were seriously injured were these rank-7 and 8 martial artists. The rank-9 ones were not too seriously injured.
While Zhang Tao was still puzzled, Fang ping and the others were staring at this Paragon powerhouse!
This was the first time he had seen a real Paragon!
Although they had seen Zhang Tao on television, they had never seen him in person.
They didn't even know what Li Zhen looked like. This Commander-in-Chief of the military was very mysterious and kept a low profile.
Of course, there were still photos of Li Zhen, but they were blurry. Fang ping had seen them once before, but he had no impression of them now.
Fang ping and the others looked at Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao noticed their gazes and looked back at them.
However, as he looked on ... Zhang Tao suddenly looked at Wang Jinyang and Li Hansong with a strange expression. He nodded slightly, but did not speak.
Then, he glanced at Fang ping with a strange look in his eyes, but he did not say anything.
Finally, he looked at Qin Fengqing, who was still staring at him. Zhang Tao opened his mouth this time, his gaze slightly strange as he said,"You ... You've been to the realmverse?"
"Ah?"
Qin Fengqing was at a loss. He immediately nodded and said excitedly,"Minister Zhang, I've made a great contribution this time. If I go to the realmland ..."
Zhang Tao didn't seem to care about this. Instead, his expression kept changing as he said,""You went in?"
This time, it was Qin Fengqing's turn to be surprised. 'You even know this?
"Did you eat something?"
"Ah ..."
"Minister, he ate a handful of soil!" Fang ping interrupted.
"Soil?"
Zhang Tao's gaze became even weirder. After a while, he chuckled and said, "It's not dirt. "
"It's not dirt?"
"Minister, could it be a treasure?" Qin Fengqing's eyes were bright.
Zhang Tao nodded slightly, but then he didn't know how to say it. He paused for a moment before saying,"There will be benefits. The benefits are not small. It might be beyond your expectations."
Qin Fengqing was overjoyed!
Really?
Even a Paragon said that there were benefits, this was too awesome!
He was still excited. Fang ping noticed that Zhang Tao's gaze did not seem quite right, so he could not help but ask,"Minister, what is that handful of soil?"
"There's no soil within the boundary. " Zhang Tao replied in a low voice. Seeing that many people were looking at him, he paused again and said,"Only flesh and blood, a lot of flesh and blood!
There were high-ranked flesh and blood, peak-level flesh and blood ... There were even ... Some mysterious things.
It was a meat grinder, a millstone. Back then, there were countless deaths and injuries. "
At this point, Zhang Tao did not continue. He looked at Qin Fengqing and said,"I hope there's no harm. You can't eat these things carelessly."
Qin Fengqing's expression changed!
What did that mean?
He understood what he meant. So, what I ate was not soil, but the flesh and blood of ancient people from who knows how many years ago?
This was even harder to accept than eating dirt!
Although he yearned to become stronger, he suddenly felt nauseated at the thought of the food he was eating, which could be those messy things. He really did not feel anything when he ate dirt.
Zhang Tao ignored him and looked at Qin Fengqing again. He smiled faintly and said,"You can actually enter ... Interesting!"
He did not say much, but stared at Qin Fengqing for a while.
Qin Fengqing thought for a while, but he still did not say that he followed iron head in. It was hard to say.
As for Zhang Tao and the other peak experts, it was hard to say if they knew the identity of iron head and the others.
However, Zhang Tao had nodded to the two of them earlier. Perhaps he knew, or even knew more than they did.
In reality, iron head and old Wang really did not know. They only knew that ... That fellow Fang ping said that they were great generals of the celestial Court.
As Zhang Tao spoke, he didn't look at the few youngsters anymore. Instead, he turned to Nan yunyue's group and said,""I already know about the matter. It's been hard on everyone this time! "You guys have pacified the Tiannan catacombs this time. Mankind will not forget you. Sino nation will not forget you. Our descendants will not forget you!
This time, the whole country was going to celebrate!
They would also hold a state funeral for all the heroes who had died in battle!
Everyone, it's not convenient for us to disclose this to the outside world. Dozens of grandmasters have died in this battle ... One day, we will definitely not forget you!"
So many grandmasters had died in this battle. If news of this were to leak out, the world would most likely be in turmoil.
No matter how great the results of the battle, it would cause a violent turmoil.
The names of the grandmasters who had died in the battle this time would not be removed from the rankings. At the very least, they would have to wait for a period of time, one by one.
Everyone understood this and no one said anything.
The imperishable substance that gushed out of Zhang Tao's body had also disappeared.
After all, he was only a human. Even if he was a Paragon, he could not be used as a supply machine for the imperishable substance.
However, everyone's injuries had indeed recovered a lot.
At this time, Zhang Tao did not continue to waste time, but said,""Everyone, take a break. When commander li comes out, commander li and I will celebrate with everyone ..."
The two top powerhouses held a celebration party for everyone, which showed how important they were to everyone.
Fang ping saw that he, Nan yunyue, and the others were about to leave, and could not help but whisper,""The government owes me 160 billion, I don't know if they can pay me back ..."
"What?"
Zhang Tao really did not know about this.
Hearing these words, Zhang Tao was slightly startled as he looked at Nan yunyue.
Nan yunyue lightly nodded. She pondered for a moment before saying, "I'll explain to you later. This time, Tiannan catacombs was pacified because of this kid's great contribution. "
"Is that so?"
Zhang Tao did not know about this either. He only knew that in Tiannan catacombs, Nan yunyue and the others had killed a large number of catacombs powerhouses. They had enraged King song so much that he had almost torn up the agreement and barged into Tiannan catacombs.
It was so satisfying to kill that he wanted to go in and fight.
As for the specific details, the paragons were not gods. It was impossible for them to observe and detect every scene that happened in the catacombs all the time. They did not have the ability to do so.
But ... He owed this kid 160 billion?
Zhang Tao had a slight headache. This was not a small amount.
This time, it really gave him a headache.
Zhang Tao didn't ask in detail. It wouldn't be too late to ask later.
This time, he wanted to leave again. Fang ping suddenly mumbled, "I've self-destructed tens of billions of energy stones and blown up the palace. I don't know if the government will bear the responsibility ..."
"Eh? You blew up the capital?"
Zhang Tao was aware of the bombing of the capital, but ... Was it this fellow who did it?
Zhang Tao felt like he was listening to a joke!
Fang ping saw that he was not talking about the main point and put on a simple and honest look. He said in a low voice,"About 50 billion energy stones, and more than 20 billion for healing, so it's about 70 to 80 billion. Including that 160 billion, it's about 250 billion.
Also ... Ahem, our principal was injured on duty this time. I don't know if this 50 billion can be reimbursed.
"Martial arts universities belong to the Ministry of Education ... Sigh, 300 billion in expenses ..."
Zhang Tao was having a headache!
What a joke!
He owed this kid 300 billion all of a sudden?
At the side, Qin Fengqing and the rest were also dumbfounded!
Are you crazy?
You're even extorting a Paragon?
160 billion became 300 billion in the blink of an eye?
Don't think that you can bully an honest man just because Zhang Tao is easy to talk to. He can drown you with a mouthful of spit!
At the side, Wu kuishan's face was also full of black lines!
It was almost enough!
But then again, he was injured on duty ... Could this debt be reimbursed?
After thinking about it ... Unless he confiscated the rank-9 magic weapon, he could forget about it.
His quasi-rank-9 divine weapon had been condensed to rank-9, and he had already gained a lot. Strictly speaking, if it was distributed according to merit, he would not be able to get so many things, including the other two rank-7s of mcmau.
Ninth-grade magic weapons were not cabbages.
Rank-7 ones were more common, rank-8 ones were fewer, and rank-9 ones were almost non-existent.
This time, there were 12 rank-9 powerhouses who entered the Tiannan catacombs, including yang daohong from star suppression city. Not everyone had a rank-9 divine weapon.
There were only four people who had rank-9 magic weapons.
Nan yunyue, Zhang Weiyu, li deyong, and yang daohong.
Some of the others were still using seventh-grade magic weapons.
Zhang Tao suddenly did not feel like talking anymore. He did not want to pay attention to Fang ping either. He looked at Nan yunyue and said,"Tell me the details first. The central government is still waiting for a reply."
"Alright," he said.
Nan yunyue didn't say much. After explaining some matters, she left with Zhang Tao.
"Over at Tiannan catacombs, at this moment, it's not just Sino nation, the entire world is paying attention to this.
"Of course, the news that they've pacified Tiannan's catacombs has already spread.
Before they came out, some Paragon experts had already revealed the news.
The pine King was furious. He had almost fought with Li Zhen at Mount Yuhai, and all the mountain peaks had sensed it.
……
As soon as Zhang Tao and the others left, the grandmasters also dispersed to recuperate. However, they did not leave the heavenly South Region.
The heavenly South Region still needed some people to guard it in the short term. They could only leave after the matter was over.
They had all left, but Wu kuishan and the rest did not. Wu kuishan seemed to have only just noticed Qin Fengqing's hair growing wildly. He could not help but have the urge to facepalm.
What did this kid eat?
An amalgamation of flesh and blood?
Why did these guys eat everything they caught?
Qin Fengqing felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. He mumbled,"The Paragon said it's good stuff ..."
Wu kuishan could not be bothered to continue. He looked at Fang ping and said,"The few of you can't leave this time. When department head Zhang understands the inside story, he will probably ask you some things.
Also ... Tell me everything in detail later. "
Fang ping nodded. As for how much he wanted to hide, he would think about it later.
After some thought, Fang ping asked,"Vice-Chancellor, if I let you use the Rose City Lord's corpse, can you reach rank-9?"
"How can you be so sure about this?"
Wu kuishan shook his head. He glanced at the Rose King's corpse that Fang ping had placed on top of the monstrous beast's corpse. After some thought, he said,"Rank-9s have different paths to take, so it can only be used as a reference. Moreover, the catacombs martial artists 'cultivation path is slightly different from ours, but it'll definitely be of some use ..."
"Then how about the school spend 300 billion to buy this body?"
"I'll give you some extra as well. Rank-9 Ironwood and two rank-8 Golden Bones for free ..."Fang ping said, adding immediately.
When he said this, Wu kuishan suddenly frowned and said, "Don't talk about that. People from star suppression city are coming! Tell me in detail about Grandmaster Yang's death in battle, and perhaps you'll also touch on some matters regarding the peak. It's best if you don't hide anything from me, do you understand?"
He knew that these kids had a big secret.
Fang ping must have been hiding something from him when he said those words earlier.
Most importantly, Fang ping had better be honest about some problems that involved the Paragon level. Otherwise, even if he had made a great contribution, it would be troublesome if he was vague about this matter.
As for yang daohong's death, Wu kuishan did not think much about it.
Even if he knew everything, he would not care.
In a battle between experts, as long as one did not intentionally kill one's own people, it was often inevitable that one would accidentally injure one's own people in battle.
When Nan yunyue and the other rank-9 powerhouses fought, there were times when they injured their own people. If they died, they could only be considered unlucky.
……
Wu kuishan and Fang ping were still talking.
In a military base outside the tunnel, Nan yunyue and the others were reporting the situation in detail.
"I see ... But ..." Zhang Tao said with a strange look in his eyes.
Zhang Tao revealed a slightly puzzled expression, and after a long while, he said,"Fang ping ... Doesn't look like a resurrected martial artist."
Nan yunyue was stunned for a moment before saying in shock, "He's ... Not a resurrected martial artist?"
As the head of one of the three departments, her status was equal to Zhang Tao 's.
There were some secrets that she knew.
She had always thought that Fang ping was a resurrected martial artist!
Zhang Tao was a little uncertain and also a little curious. He muttered,"It doesn't look like it. Although it looks like it, I have a feeling ... Forget it, there's no need to pursue this.
"As for li Hansong and Wang Jinyang, they're indeed resurrected martial artists. I can feel that. Moreover, I'm afraid that both of them are in the stage of official recovery.
In addition ..."
"Also, why did these two people, no, including Yao Chengjun and the others, only recover now?" Zhang Tao paused.
Zhang Tao was a little confused again. After a while, he said, "I'll go ask someone later. I wonder if it's because I was too weak back then. "
Nan yunyue also nodded,"that's possible. Previously, these people's behavior was a little strange. I didn't even think that they were the same batch of people from back then. They seemed a little different from before. I thought that they had really mutated ..."
Zhang Tao smiled bitterly."I didn't pay much attention to it. Who knew that they would only recover now? I thought there was no one left."
Then, Zhang Tao added,"forget it. Don't worry too much about this. Although these people have recovered, it's extremely difficult for them to improve after their strength has reached rank-7 or rank-8. Sigh, actually, these are not what humans lack ..."
Zhang Tao shook his head and did not continue. He paused for a moment before he said,""When the people from Star Town City come, we'll ask them for information. Also, see if we can confirm the identity of these people."
"I know."
Nan yunyue replied, but she still couldn't help but ask,"Is Fang ping really not a resurrected martial artist?"
"I'm not sure. You know, I don't really care about these things. I'll ask Li Zhen when he comes back."
"Yes." Nan yunyue was still in disbelief, "He's not a resurrected martial artist, but his cultivation speed is so fast? And this kid, to be honest, is a little demonic ..."
Since even Nan yunyue had said so, Zhang Tao's interest was piqued.
He thought for a while and laughed."Let's wait and see. A martial artist who can cultivate quickly might not necessarily be a martial artist who can revive. Perhaps he is really the tide of the times and has a bit of great luck with him."
"Are you talking about yourself?" Nan yunyue chuckled.
Zhang Tao laughed, then he regained his calm and said softly,""I'll have to go there again sooner or later! "It's been so many years, and we still don't know who killed that monster plant. The secrets of the catacombs are much more than I imagined. "
Nan yunyue didn't say much. Back then, that monster plant had fallen from the sky, and even now, Zhang Tao still wasn't sure who killed it.
However, this matter wasn't too important. At least, there hadn't been any problems there.
That was enough!
It was just a rank-9 monster plant, and not a peak-level one. Nan yunyue felt that there was no need to investigate further.
If it really was a peak monster plant ... Then it would be really terrifying.
After saying this, Zhang Tao thought of Qin Fengqing again. How did that kid get in?
"Could it be that there's a loophole in Tiannan's catacombs too?
The one from the Yang family had caused some damage when he went in, and it still hadn't healed?
