Chapter 216 The National Pillar Family Gathers, Alliance Trends, Paradise Watches

Qin Fang didn't continue to pay attention to how Yu Qianqiu was talking to Shen Changyuan.

...Anyway, he has no reputation now, so even if Shen Changyuan wanted to join, he would have to wait a few days.

He left Tieya City directly and headed towards Shengjing.

The next special operation is the key.

This is the first confrontation with the Guozhu family, and it is crucial to the future development of the amusement park; therefore, it cannot afford to lose.

...

Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.

In just two days, the buzz surrounding the amusement park in Fallen Leaf City not only didn't subside, but actually intensified.

The reason is simple... In the past two days, the Paradise has cleared six Tier 2 Abyss dungeons in Fallen Leaf City!

This caused quite a stir.

Because there are so many Tier 2 dungeons, Fallen Leaf City isn't actually very peaceful... With so many dungeons, there are naturally many dungeon monsters spawning. Some spawn in the wilderness, but sometimes they spawn inside the city.

Monsters from Tier 2 dungeons... even monsters from normal dungeons, if they appear in urban areas, can cause enormous destruction.

In the past, monsters would spawn in the city almost every few days, causing casualties.

Now, with six consecutive Tier 2 dungeons being perfectly cleared, the pressure on Fallen Leaf City has been greatly relieved.

The professionals were naturally astonished.

"Twenty-odd Tier 3 Epics are clearly not all of Paradise... We all forgot that there were record-breaking Paradise members in the Tier 2 dungeons... Those were all Epic classes, no doubt! That's about thirty-odd Epics!!"

"This amusement park... is amazing!"

"I've never even seen an epic before!"

"But I have a feeling that gathering so many epic-level powerhouses... can't be just about clearing a dungeon, right?"

"They've all gathered in Fallen Leaf City, could it be... there's some other reason?"

"Could it be that Fallen Leaf City is about to discover some new treasure trove?"

While marveling at the park's power, the professionals also speculated about the park's purpose in coming to Fallen Leaf City.

Before, Fallen Leaf City was just an inconspicuous city among the many cities in Xia Kingdom, neither a transportation hub nor a strategic location fought over by military strategists.

Such a powerful amusement park, suddenly deploying such a massive force here, if it's just to break a few dungeons... isn't that a bit of a waste of its potential?

"Could it be... that it's targeting alien races?"

"Unlike... On the first day, they had already killed so many alien races that they dared not show their faces. So much time has passed and the alien races have not made any moves, and Paradise has not taken any further action... Besides, this is not a boundary gate, so why would Paradise target the alien races here?"

The alien races invaded from another world, but since they came from another world, there must also be an entrance connecting to their world.

That entrance was called the 'Gateway'.

The alien city at the boundary gate is like Shengjing in the Xia Kingdom; it is of utmost importance to the alien races and is naturally heavily guarded, with many powerful individuals residing there.

However, this place in Okinoba City is neither near nor within the Boundary Gate.

Why would the amusement park target the alien races here?

In short, there was a lot of discussion and all sorts of speculation.

...

Jiang Zicheng arrived in Fallen Leaf City in haste two days after receiving the intelligence.

Upon arriving in Fallen Leaf City, without making any special inquiries, I discovered that the entire city was discussing the amusement park.

This made his eyes flash, and he felt a mix of wariness and excitement...

Finally, we have information about the amusement park!

Upon arriving here, he naturally went to the War Department immediately and revealed his identity as a member of the United Front Department.

Upon receiving the news, Tan Ci, the director of the Combat Department of Luoye City, came to receive them immediately.

"Tan Ci, Director of the Combat Department of Luoye City, greets Your Excellency!"

Tan Ci, who looked middle-aged, knew from the aura of Jiang Zicheng and his group that they were no ordinary people, so he was very careful when receiving them.

Jiang Zicheng glanced at him, then nodded and said, "Let's find a place to chat. There are some questions I need to ask Director Tan."

"Ah, yes, please follow me."

Tan Ci immediately invited the person upstairs, and finally to the reception room, where he arranged for them to sit down and served them tea.

After a flurry of activity, Jiang Zicheng sat in the head seat and asked, "Director Tan, you delivered a piece of intelligence to the United Front Work Department three days ago, about the amusement park. Could you tell me more about it?"

Tan Ci, who had half-sat down in the chair, immediately replied upon hearing this, "Yes, that's how it is..."

He immediately recounted the events of three days prior in detail.

Jiang Zicheng and the others listened attentively and did not interrupt him.

"...The park has been very active these past two days. In three days, they have successfully cleared a total of six Tier 2 dungeons."

As the director of the Combat Department, Tan Ci is quite capable. He knows what their key concerns are and his report is concise and to the point.

"So, what does the Combat Division know about that paradise now?"

"A middle-aged man accompanying Jiang Zicheng asked in a deep voice."

"this……"

Tan Ci paused for a moment, then said with a bitter expression, "To be honest... the Combat Division has absolutely no intelligence about the other side."

Not even a tiny bit?

Jiang Zicheng and the others' expressions clearly turned displeased.

The amusement park is an object that the United Front Work Department has ordered all cities to keep a close watch on. Now that the other party is carrying out its activities in Fallen Leaf City in a big way, how come the United Front Work Department has not a single piece of intelligence about it?

“The other party’s whereabouts are too secretive, and…” Tan Ci said with a wry smile, “They are also too strong.”

"They're all Tier 3 Epic classes... We've been investigating these past few days, but as soon as we started, they issued a warning... warning our Combat Division not to try to find their tracks. Otherwise, they'll face the consequences... Your Excellency... we really have no choice."

Tan Ci didn't hold back in trying to sow discord about Leyuan in front of Jiang Zicheng and the other United Front Work Department officials.

However, he did not mention that on the first day of the operation, members of the park came to his door to warn him not to send anyone to the 'Wailing Corridor' and the 'Spider Queen's Nest' the next day.

...Wouldn't saying this expose his predicament?

Oh, so the amusement park tells you not to go, and you just won't go?

The United Front Work Department had already issued orders to you to report any discovery of members of Paradise immediately. Yet, you concealed your contact with them, even though you had already been in contact with them. What does that mean?

As the head of the Strategic Affairs Department, do you listen to Paradise or the United Front Department?

...He didn't want to give these envoys any ammunition to criticize him for no reason.

However, you should still use eye drops if necessary.

Anyway, the effect is the same.

As expected, these words caused Jiang Zicheng and the others to frown slightly.

"Hmph, what a paradise! How dare you so blatantly threaten the Combat Division?"

One of the companions said with a cold face.

Jiang Zicheng frowned, but after a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "It can't be blamed on you... More than twenty Tier 3 Epics are indeed not something the Warlords can handle."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Excellency!"

Tan Ci quickly replied.

"So, you have absolutely no information about their location right now?"

Jiang Zicheng frowned.

Tan Ci quickly said, "Although we don't know where they are... we can be sure that they will go to the Tier 2 dungeon again tomorrow... There are a total of eight Tier 2 dungeons outside Fallen Leaf City. Since they cleared six of them in the first three days, they will most likely clear the last two tomorrow... If you want to find them, you should be able to go directly to the Tier 2 dungeon town!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zicheng and the others exchanged glances and then nodded slightly.

But his brows were furrowed, and he didn't seem too excited.

Jiang Zicheng was silent for a moment, just as he was about to say something, the conference room door suddenly opened, and another person ran up to Tan Ci and whispered something to him.

Jiang Zicheng stopped talking and waited.

Upon hearing the report, Tan Ci was immediately surprised. He looked up at the reporter before turning to Jiang Zicheng.

"The envoys...it seems another group of envoys has arrived..."

"oh?"

Jiang Zicheng was taken aback, then his brows furrowed as he realized something.

It seems... people from other families have arrived as well.

Yes, the news has spread throughout the country. Since he has received the news, the other companies must have received it as well.

After all, several parties are very interested in the job change altar.

They are searching all over the world.

I've only heard that nothing has been gained.

Now that the amusement park has suddenly appeared, it's normal that everyone's attention is focused on it.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Alright, go and greet them... Bring them over too. Let me see who they are."

Tan Ci was taken aback for a moment, then dared not refute, and quickly said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you envoys to wait a moment..."

He hurriedly went downstairs.

A few minutes later, the conference room door opened, and Tan Ci led a group of people in.

Jiang Zicheng glanced at it, then his eyes flickered slightly: "So it's you... Your Xu family has also received the news?"

The leader was also a young man. Before going upstairs, he already knew from Tan Ci that there was a group of 'envoys' upstairs, but Jiang Zicheng did not say his name, so he did not know who they were. They only met now.

He recognized Jiang Zicheng.

...After all, both sides are direct descendants of the Guozhu family.

His eyes flickered slightly as he said, "If your Jiang family can get the information, why can't I?"

After saying that, he walked over and sat down next to Jiang Zicheng, then smiled and said, "You kid, I knew you'd been missing for the past six months. So you've been searching the world for opportunities?"

"Don't talk about me, aren't you the same?"

Jiang Zicheng also laughed.

The two were surprisingly very familiar with each other...

Indeed, I am very familiar with it.

...These two are actually classmates.

In addition, they come from similar family backgrounds and have basically grown up together since childhood, so their relationship is quite good.

"This is going to be a bit tricky. This amusement park is something else. More than twenty Tier 3 Epic items...tsk tsk."

Xu Bo sighed.

"It was indeed a bit unexpected... but don't tell me you didn't ask your family for help."

"I definitely want it... but it's still on its way and won't arrive until tomorrow. What about you?"

"Same."

Will Sister Xue come in person?

Xu Bo suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up and he asked.

Jiang Zicheng immediately looked at him warily: "What are you trying to do, kid?"

"What do you think?" Xu Bo winked and grinned.

Jiang Zicheng then sneered: "You kid? It's not that I look down on you... If my sister really comes, and you dare to say a single word to her, then I'll consider you someone important."

"Who do you think you are?!" Xu Bo glared at him.

Jiang Zicheng scoffed, ignored him, and took a sip of tea.

The two of them chatted casually, oblivious to everyone else around them.

Upon seeing this, Tan Ci immediately knew that the envoy who had come this time was indeed no ordinary person... Judging from his appearance, he was probably from one of those families...

Thinking of a certain possibility, he swallowed hard, but his posture became even more respectful.

As the two were chatting, someone else ran up to Tan Ci's ear and whispered something.

Tan Ci was taken aback, a look of surprise on his face, and then he had no choice but to say, "The two envoys... um, some more envoys have arrived below..."

The two people who were chatting turned their heads to look at each other at the same time.

"The news has spread too far; it seems that everyone who was supposed to come has arrived."

Jiang Zicheng squinted as he spoke.

"It's great, it's been a long time since it's been this lively."

Xu Bo smiled.

"Go and bring them up."

Jiang Zicheng said to Tan Ci.

Tan Ci responded and quickly turned around, this time even faster...

Judging from their conversation... those who will be coming to Fallen Leaf City in the next couple of days... are probably all from those legendary families...

How could he dare to be negligent?

Not long after, he led a group of people into the reception room...

The reception room was immediately packed with people.

The living room wasn't very big to begin with; it was just right for accommodating about ten people.

But this time, each faction brought no fewer than twenty people with them, and the Jiang and Xu families alone had already filled the place. Now that more people have arrived, there isn't even a place to stand.

The leader of the third force to arrive was also a young man. He was stunned when he saw the situation inside, and then said to the people behind him, "You guys wait outside for now."

Tan Ci, who was next to him, quickly said, "The conference room is right next door. It's big enough. If you esteemed envoys don't mind, you can go there and rest for a while."

His entourage paused for a moment, then nodded and left.

Jiang Zicheng and Xu Bo both saw the newcomer and smiled: "This kid actually came too... You two should go to the next conference room and wait for a while. I guess more people will be coming later."

Jiang Zicheng said to his entourage.

Xu Bo also confessed to the people who came in with him.

So they all left the reception room and went to the conference room next door.

The room suddenly felt empty.

"The park is really quite attractive."

The person who came later smiled and walked over, sitting down next to the two of them.

"It's not that the amusement park is so attractive... it's that the job change altar is so attractive."

Jiang Zicheng chuckled, then blinked and said, "But speaking of which... your Zhou family must have benefited the most from the appearance of the Job Change Altar, right? What about your legendary figure? I haven't heard from him in ages since he became a legend..."

As he spoke, a hint of admiration and envy inevitably surfaced in his eyes.

That's right, the third person to arrive was from the Zhou family.

His name is Zhou Yun, and although he is not in the same class as the two of them, he is a classmate at the same school.

However, he was a year younger.

"Don't even mention it. After Zhou Ze became a legend, let alone you guys... I haven't seen him for almost half a year... I only know that he was called away by the old man. I don't know anything else."

Zhou Yun shrugged.

He didn't seem to think it was a secret.

The other two exchanged a glance.

Then Xu Bo whispered, "The old man and the others have been keeping a close eye on legendary professions all these years, and even ordered that they be taken into custody as soon as they are discovered... They can't possibly let their own legendary professions be taken away..."

The other two were taken aback, and then their expressions changed slightly.

Jiang Zicheng said in a low voice, "I think we'd better not discuss the old men's affairs... or you'll be in big trouble."

Xu Bo snapped out of his daze and immediately fell silent, no longer daring to speculate.

"Talking about the old man and the others is a bit too far away. Let's talk about what to do next... The park's strength is a bit beyond our expectations. Since they're already here, how about we join forces?... Although I called for backup, to be honest, it's hard to say how many they'll actually get."

Jiang Zicheng made the suggestion.

“That’s what I think too.” Xu Bo nodded.

They looked at Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun shrugged: "Anyway, it's intelligence, so we can all share it later. I have no objection."

In just a few words, they set the tone for cooperation.

"However, I estimate that the other companies will arrive soon as well."

The news has been circulating for two or three days, and those that are due should arrive in the next day or two.

As they were talking, Tan Ci walked in again and whispered, "Gentlemen, some more envoys have arrived... and they've come in several groups at the same time. What do you think..."

"Please come up."

Jiang Zicheng spoke.

Tan Ci quickly accepted the order and turned to leave.

Not long after...

In the reception hall of the Professional Warfare Division in the remote city of Fallen Leaves, a large number of scions of the National Pillar families gathered...

...

It was in the corner of the reception room.

A figure was standing silently here.

But no one could find him.

He felt as if he were in another world.

"Boss, these people seem to be forming an alliance."

The light of the valve tells me in my heart.

...
