Chapter 314: The 2nd Grandmaster of the Flame Tiger Sect_2
"This is...."
Li Tong inquired, as Chen Feng's eyes flashed.
"It came quite fast."
As the words fell, the flying device could be seen slowly descending outside the redwood gate of the Mountain Gate courtyard.
A circular blast of air stirred up, weeds swayed, and dust flew.
Without saying more, he led a few people out of the courtyard, quickly seeing the hatch open, revealing several figures.
Most were burly figures in suits, either wielding firearms or with transformed bodies.
A familiar Zhou Cheng was among them, along with a middle-aged woman holding a briefcase, with short black hair to her shoulders, and wearing a trench coat.
Her black leather boots stepping on gray stone bricks, the crisp sound of footsteps echoed.
"Master Chen." Meili smiled as she spoke, and the people behind her, including Zhou Cheng, respectfully followed suit in greeting.
"Ms. Mei."
Chen Feng nodded. This was support he specially invited from Lin Hao's side.
The Divine Martial Alliance Leader's methods were strange and could not be underestimated.
He couldn't stay at the Flame Tiger Mountain Gate all the time, so he invited this Mechanical Martial Arts Master, who was close to the Fifth Order Peak.
"I may have to trouble you for a while afterwards."
"Master Chen is too polite."
Meili didn't overplay it, her eyes with some crow's feet looking quite gentle, and she smiled kindly: "You are Xiao Hao's friend, so you are our friend."
"And the help from before, we will never forget."
She said tactfully, her tone grateful.
Although she didn't know Green Demon's true identity, she speculated that Chen Feng must have spent significant favors back then to invite the other party.
Otherwise, how could two Fifth Order Peak Transformed People lend a hand for no reason?
Nodding slightly, Chen Feng didn't explain much.
He introduced the others to Master Li Tong, briefly mentioning the matter of the Divine Martial Alliance Leader.
"I see."
Li Tong understood, though a bit worried, but thinking of his disciple's abilities, he didn't ask further.
The group moved towards the guest hall, with disciples arranging for guest accommodations and others preparing seats and pouring tea.
"How has Lin Hao been recently?"
Chen Feng asked, as not much was said during their phone call that day, so he was curious about the current situation.
Was he planning to stay in Yun Gang and not return to Nanjiang?
"Xiao Hao is still in Yun Gang."
Meili accepted the tea handed by another disciple, nodded in gratitude, and then explained: "After a vote by some high-level members of Jade Biotechnology, he is now the lowest-ranking director and needs to complete some handovers and identity verifications over there."
"Also, the Secret Realm of Yun Meng Forest has been quite active recently. Although the blockade of the Inner City passage hasn't been lifted yet, staying a few more days might lead to a breakthrough."
She roughly explained some details, and Chen Feng appeared thoughtful.
"I heard they've discovered some important advanced material extraction technique there?"
"Yes."
Gently nodding, Meili looked around at everyone.
Then, lowering her voice, she seriously said: "The blueprints for this technique have already been uploaded to the Red Capital Technology Research Institute. Rumor has it that it can extract a certain advanced metal and create special devices to enhance modification strength."
"There's even a rumor that the limits of Transformed People and Mechanical Martial Arts might rise."
"In short, the current Yun Meng Forest is attracting a lot of attention."
Detecting a hint of caution in her words, Chen Feng looked deeply at her, suspecting that Lin Hao had asked her to convey a message indirectly warning him not to act recklessly.
Without saying much more, he simply nodded and exchanged small talk for a while.
Afterwards, when the guests had dispersed, Master Li Tong personally took them to the guest courtyard to show respect.
Left alone in the hall, sitting in the main seat of a pearwood chair, he looked up at the vast sky outside.
Mechanical Martial Arts and Transformation limits?
That was not the main point.
Rather... perhaps he should plan for a new identity again?
...
...
Buzz!!
A day later, a black car drove onto the asphalt road, slowly leaving the low hills.
"Brother Chen, the celebration day for the Sect Leader's breakthrough has been informed to the other schools, scheduled for seven days later."
"We've also notified several senior and junior brothers and sisters. Is there anything else that needs to be done?"
Cao Tong, sitting in the passenger seat, asked. Wearing the same black trench coat, Chen Feng shook his head.
He wasn't too concerned with these trivial matters, as he just needed to be present on the day.
In contrast.
He glanced at the messages on his phone.
[Chen Yun: Xiao Feng, the project team is going to get busy, I might not be able to contact you for a while.]
[If I don't reply to messages, don't worry... smile jpg.]
The note under the name Chen Yun was sent in the morning, and at that time, he was still catching some extra sleep.
"It seems, the discovery in Yun Meng Forest is really remarkable..."
His thoughts scattered as he recalled the news Meili leaked yesterday.
There might be new Advanced Metal appearing, having a significant impact on current transformation technology.
Maybe, by the time Chen Yun sends another message, it'll be the moment when this technology truly lands successfully.
Then, he put down the phone.
The shared footage from the three little stone statues came through blurry, mostly with no useful information.
Shaking his head, he looked out the window at the receding mountains and forests, feeling some urgency and pressure from the development of transformation technology.
And coincidentally, under the chasm of transcendence, his strength in Martial Arts was gradually hitting a bottleneck.
The most crucial task now is to quickly complete the legendary accumulation, deepen the world's imprint, and reach his true ultimate limit as soon as possible.
Besides that....
Chen Feng once again thought of the Realm of the Dead, the green light orb on Hurricane Island.
Calculating the time between dreams and reality, the full moon night shouldn't be too long, just within a day or two.
If he could get hold of that light orb, his strength would surely increase significantly, giving him much more assurance whether entering the Snake Spirit Secret Realm or completing something that needs to be settled....
His thoughts dispersed as the black car arrived at the road outside the city.
The bustling urban area came into view, with busy streets and familiar tall buildings.
The reason he came down the mountain today was quite simple.
The City Association has a new meeting to convene, and because voting is required, Chu Shihong hoped he could come personally.
Beep beep!
Immediately, amidst the horn and engine sounds, the black sedan gradually reached below the Federation Building in the city center.
By now, many people had arrived, and one could see flying cars landing and parking, with transformed people in suits, or mechanical martial arts security carrying briefcases appearing.
"Councilman Chen!"
"Good morning, Councilman Chen!"
Voices called out one after another as some council members saw his arrival and stopped to wait.
"Good morning, everyone."
Nodding in response, Chen Feng got out of the car and was surrounded by several councilmen as they walked towards the tall building's glass door.
Some security wanted to follow him all the way, but they were quickly dismissed with a wave of his hand.
"You don't need to follow, just wait here for me."
"This...."
"What's with the hesitation? With Councilman Chen here, who else could possibly harm me?"
Li Chengdong's elder, Li Hai, deliberately said, appearing to be in his sixties but with a robust frame, wearing a black wool coat and black scarf, his steps steady without showing any weakness.
The other councilmen around were initially stunned, and then secretly cursed him as an old fox.
Seeing the other party's friendly gesture, Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, then lightly waved at the security guard in a suit who approached.
Though Li Hai exaggerated, he was indeed right about one thing.
As long as he was here, the Federation Building was extraordinarily safe, far exceeding the security capabilities of everyone present.
He even suspected that every time before a council convenes, Chu Shihong requests him to come personally, instead of using remote projection, precisely because of this reason?
Whoosh!!
Just then, a flying device could be seen landing nearby.
The rear turbulent waves stirred wildly, blowing many people's ties against their faces.
A few specks of dust flew around, halting Chen Feng and the others' steps.
Narrowing his eyes to look, he could see a red ripple pattern on the flying device, followed by a crisp sound.
Sizzle! Clack!
The hatch opened, releasing two wisps of white vapor.
Four men in their thirties came out, either carrying metal briefcases or wearing loose suits, tall and burly.
Among them, someone made a slight move, then special devices activated, quietly dispersing a force field, forcibly distancing those around.
Such actions displeased some council members, but then they saw another figure emerge from the cabin.
One lagged half a step behind, appearing to be thirty-seven or thirty-eight, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, somewhat lean.
Another was flanked in the center, dressed in a dark suit of unusual material, shiny brown leather shoes stepping on the ground.
His build was average, neither fat nor thin, with a calm middle-aged face, some forehead lines, and relatively thin lips.
As if noticing the gazes from many people.
He glanced briefly, slightly furrowing his eyelids.
Then, he took out a white handkerchief from his left breast pocket, covering his mouth and nose, and walked towards the Federation Building at a steady pace.
