Chapter 1024: Breaking the Secret Gate
When the people from the processing bureau went up to check the body, the old imperial family members also saw it from afar. They felt something was wrong and immediately sent one person back to report the matter.
The middle-aged man was waiting for news. When he heard this, he knew that the two dead people might just be scapegoats.
Who knows what else these two people might have on them. The news must have leaked out, so even if he found them, it would be useless. Now all he could do was to enter the secret vault as quickly as possible, open the rift before Yangzhi City and Central City could react, and expand it to the maximum possible size.
He said in a cold voice: "Don't worry about what's happening outside. Everyone, follow me inside!" As he said that, he quickly walked towards the stone wall where the door had been opened. The people behind him hurriedly followed, and soon they all entered.
In Yangzhi City, after a day, the field information here has basically stabilized and is still spreading outward from various areas. Every once in a while, an area is connected to the overall information field.
On the east side of the National Avenue, the armored vehicle was still parked there. The telegraph operator received a telegram and quickly handed it to Chen Chuan who was sitting in the back seat of the vehicle after translating it.
"Director, this is an urgent telegram from Director He of the branch."
Chen Chuan took it and looked at it. After a moment's thought, he said, "Send a telegram to ask where Advisor Cheng and the others are."
The telegraph operator immediately sent a message. After a while, the telegram came back with a reply, saying that Cheng Shang and his group had already arrived in front of Jiaoshan.
Chen Chuan said, "Tell them that the previously suspected secret treasure is probably in Jiaoshan, and it may have been opened by now. Request them to go up immediately and do everything they can to eliminate the old imperial family members and control the rift there."
The radio operator responded sternly and immediately sent a message to Cheng Shang's team.
On the outskirts of Jiaoshan, Cheng Shang and others had already arrived and met He Fen.
This time the team includes not only the Cheng family members who are familiar with the Jiaoshan environment, but also two executive captains of the Processing Bureau, the Lan Shen Gu brothers and sisters, and a group of Esoteric Religion Investigation Bureau personnel.
After receiving the telegram of instructions from the rear, Cheng Shang looked ahead at Jiaoshan. His nephew had disappeared here. Could it be related to the secret treasure? He half hoped it was, but half hoped it wasn't.
At this moment he took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Go up the mountain!"
Because the Cheng family has been coming here to look for people every year for forty years, many villagers on Jiaoshan are very familiar with them. This time they still followed the old rules and brought a lot of supplies needed by the village. This made all the villagers very happy, and they did not encounter any obstacles when going up the mountain.
After reaching the top of the mountain, the group put down their belongings, paused briefly, and then immediately left the village and headed higher. The villagers didn't find this strange at all, and instead pointed and talked about it, saying that the people who had come with them looked extraordinary and that there must be a "master" responsible for finding people.
After hearing this, some people hoped that the Cheng family could find their lost relatives this time, while others hoped that the Cheng family still could not find anyone this time, so that they could come to send gifts to them every year in the future.
After the Lan Shen Gu siblings left the village, they quickly took out the ritual objects and measured them, and found the correct direction. Within half an hour, they found a corner of the secret treasure that had been dug up, and led everyone safely to the entrance of the secret treasure.
Lan Shen Gu said, "Everyone, the situation inside the secret vault is unclear. Please be careful when you enter." He emphasized, "You may encounter some strange situations. Don't force yourself to resist. I will try to break them."
Everyone knows that secret treasures are dangerous and cannot be solved by force alone. The Lan brothers and sisters are experts in secret rituals and have expressed their willingness to follow the arrangements.
As Cheng Shang came over, he found that the villagers around him were either sitting or standing, looking dazed and dull, like walking corpses.
He was experienced and judged that at least one of the opponents he would face was good at spiritual power, but from the traces of the footprints, none of the people who passed by were third-level fighters.
This is good news, but it should not be taken lightly.
He put on the jade pendant for spiritual protection handed to him by his junior, stretched his muscles, and said, "I haven't moved in a long time, I need to work harder today." After that, he took the lead and walked into the secret vault. The others followed behind him.
Chen Chuan soon received a telegram saying that Cheng Shang and others had entered the secret treasure, so he waited there patiently.
It is absolutely impossible for the old imperial family to mobilize too much power from the fusion land. If his judgment is correct, the personnel mobilized this time should be those who are lurking outside, and their strength will not be very strong.
This time, there are four third-level fighters in Chengjia's team, which is enough to clean up the situation.
After waiting for four hours, a telegram finally arrived. The operator said, "Director, Advisor Cheng has sent a message saying they have captured all the former imperial family members who entered the secret vault and discovered a rift. Requesting further instructions."
Chen Chuan hummed and said, "Have Advisor Lan take over and maintain the rift there, and quickly extract detailed intelligence from the prisoners."
"yes."
After waiting for another half an hour, another telegram was delivered.
Chen Chuan took a look at it. This time, the main leader of the old imperial family was very stubborn and was killed on the spot. According to the remaining captives, this crack could point to the Dongqing Plain of the old imperial family as long as it was opened with a specific key.
These people heard that a large army was stationed there, and as soon as the rift opened, the army would rush out, occupy Jiaoshan, and then sweep across the entire Sanshan area.
As for who will lead the army and which mysterious warriors they are, they don't know.
After reading it, Chen Chuan thought for a while. If the enemy really intended to capture the Sanshan area, the army was secondary. The upper-level forces they gathered must be quite a lot, otherwise they would not be able to hold it even if they captured it.
He couldn't help but think of the General Su Kuo who was fighting in the Eastern Expedition. If there really was a mysterious warrior at the level of Changshengguan on the opposite side, theoretically, all the fighters in Jibei Road combined would not be his match.
But now the rift is under their control, and if the other side can come from that side, then they can also go from this side.
He reached out and took the boundary pass, sending a message to the central city. Then he said to the driver, "Go to Jiaoshan."
The armored vehicle immediately turned around and headed towards Jiaoshan, and behind it, two transport vehicles carrying Zarnik and two others also followed.
Xu Chan had been waiting in a combat airship above the central city of Jibei Road. After receiving the message from Chen Chuan, he looked ahead and said in a deep voice, "Target Yangzhi Jiaoshan, full speed ahead."
In the South City Industrial Zone, Mr. Zhuan also received a telegram. After reading it, he picked up the mask that had been restored to its original appearance, put it on, stood up, and said, "Lao Tang, it's time for us to set off."
The mask said, "I say, is there any big fish this time?"
Mr. Zhuan said solemnly, "There are cracks in the secret treasure. It's definitely not that simple." Mr. Tang said, "That's true."
Mr. Zhuan said, "Also, I always feel a little uneasy."
The mask said, "You mean?"
Mr. Zhuan said, "Maybe it's confirmed this time." He reached out, picked up a suitcase, and walked out of the warehouse. As soon as he got outside, the sound of propeller blades came from above his head.
At the foot of Jiaoshan Mountain, He Fen and a group of members of the Processing Bureau were waiting there, looking forward from time to time. Not long after, he saw an armed convoy coming from a distance.
He was greatly encouraged and immediately ordered his men to line up on both sides while he himself went forward to meet them.
When the convoy arrived in front, it slowly stopped. The attendant came down and opened the door. Chen Chuan got out of the car, and Zarnik and two others also got out of the transport vehicle at the back, following behind him, one on the left and one on the right.
These two men are fighters with different appearances. After replenishing their nutrition, their normal height alone reaches about four meters. Coupled with their innate wildness and bloodiness, they bring a great sense of oppression to the people present.
He Fen endured the discomfort, walked up, saluted, and said, "Director."
Chen Chuan returned the greeting and said, "Well done, Lao He."
He Fen was secretly delighted. He immediately stood at attention and said respectfully, "Director, this is what I should do." After a pause, he continued, "I just sent someone to contact the two investigators. The information I have received so far is that they are safe and sound. They just came down the mountain by another path. Communication is difficult there, so I have sent a car to pick them up."
Chen Chuan nodded. Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound coming from the boundary. He looked around and asked, "Is the field here connected?"
"yes."
He Fen said: "Zhu Zhengzhang has long said that Jiaoshan is also our Yangzhi territory and cannot be treated differently, so a transfer station was arranged here early on. This is also the result of the joint efforts of colleagues from top to bottom."
Chen Chuan nodded. Although Director He’s own strength was not very good, he showed enough ability this time.
At this moment, a signal came from the boundary. He took a look and connected it. Suddenly, a rough voice came out from inside: "Brother Chen, remember me, I am Hu Kan."
Chen Chuan said, "Brother Hu?"
"Hey, isn't it me? This time I'm commissioned by the company to come here to assist you. I'm on my way here."
Chen Chuan understood that after the establishment of the Jibei and Haidong skylines, the two sides also signed a security agreement for mutual support. However, this time they might not be able to directly use the power of Haidong Road, so they asked for help from the people from the state-owned enterprises.
The situation on the old imperial family's side was still unclear, but the more power he gathered, the greater his chances of victory. He said, "Okay, brother, I'll give you a coordinate. Contact me when you arrive."
"Okay, I'll be there in a moment."
