Chapter 625 Turbulence
There were gusts of sea breeze on the cliff, and occasionally a seabird would flap its wings and fly by. The waves below were rolling, making a continuous sound of the tide.
Tarrou's voice was very clear on the cliff. When she was recounting the past of her fighting gym, especially the part about its decline, her expression was still very high-spirited, as if she didn't care about it at all.
“In fact, before the duel, the rift of our Danliu Pavilion had disappeared for decades, and some of our unique secrets need to be practiced within the rift. So the purpose of that ancestor in this battle was to defeat the Sword Sect of Anyao Pavilion, seize Anyao Pavilion, and merge the two pavilions into one.
His intentions were not pure.
After learning that the cracks in our Danliu Hall had disappeared, An Yao Hall did not take any further action. Perhaps they felt that it was no longer worth it.
But things have changed in recent years. Because of the unusual phenomena within the rifts and the appearance of disciples from An Yao Guan nearby, Gan Bo believes that An Yao Guan might be making some moves."
Tarrou was very frank. She said: "I am devoted to practicing martial arts and I don't really understand these things, but I believe in Oliver. He studied abroad in his youth and worked as an assistant to the national affairs counselor. His words are always insightful.
He told me that An Yao Hall may have had an idea after discovering the situation, but did not take any action before, probably because of the existence of the Ferris Wheel Company. Even if they took action, the gains they gained might be forced to give up because of the pressure from the Ferris Wheel Company using the power of Fenglin Hall and Langtao Hall.
Because these two factions would never want to see An Yao Hall's power grow and the balance of power be broken, so doing so might end up with nothing.
But now is a window period. The Ferris Wheel Company has just collapsed. Dashun's Ocean Development Group and Canglong Company are expelling the forces of the Linax Federation, taking over the assets left by the Ferris Wheel Company, and strengthening control over various island countries. They will closely monitor the sword sects of the three major halls and prevent them from acting rashly.
But this is actually an opportunity for An Yao Hall, because the strength that could restrain them is limited, and their generation's eldest disciple, Ye Jianhong, is extremely powerful. Gan Bo said that he might take this opportunity to come here to spy on us. If he finds anything, he will definitely take action without hesitation."
She looked at Chen Chuan and said seriously, "I'm saying this to tell you, Mr. Chen, that you might run into trouble when you enter the Rift to practice. I must make this clear to you."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me this, Tarrou."
In fact, when Mr. Zhuan asked him to come, he said that the situation of this crack was very complicated and it might not exist for long.
This makes sense, because no matter who ultimately controls this area, they will not allow this rift to continue to be controlled by Danliuguan.
As for the Pure Faction letting a fighter come to guard, that is not against the rules. Countries and companies tacitly accept the rifts that have been passed down from the old times, but will not allow others to intervene and occupy them, otherwise everyone can do so.
He glanced at the waves below and said to Tarrou, "Since I'm here to practice, then expelling outsiders is also part of my practice. Not to mention that we are both members of the Purist sect. If anything comes, I will face it with you here."
Tarrou smiled broadly and said, "Thank you, comrade!"
She pointed and said, "The rift is deep under the sea, about four hundred meters away. Even fighters at the third level won't be able to find it if they don't know the exact location.
It's just that Mr. Chen's practice might cause more noise, so you can familiarize yourself with the environment there first. If you practice, it's best to start at the beginning of each night and wait until dawn before coming out."
Chen Chuan nodded.
After he came here, he saw clearly that although the Danliu School donated this rift to the Pure School, they were actually the ones who managed it. This was probably because they took into account that the secret techniques in the school required a rift to be practiced. In other words, the Danliu School was still the majority owner of this place, and their opinions must of course be respected.
Tarrou explained all this and said, "Mr. Chen, follow me."
After saying that, she took a few steps forward and jumped off the cliff. Then she fell like a white line. After crossing a distance of at least sixty or seventy meters, she fell into the sea below with a light splash.
Chen Chuan glanced down and also leaped forward, stretching his body in mid-air. Then he adjusted himself and jumped into the sea in an upside-down position.
After diving into the water with a thud, he continued to dive with the force of falling. He soon saw the figure of Tarrou in front of him and chased after him.
He had received underwater instruction from He Xiaoxing, so after arriving here, he naturally switched to skin breathing.
At first Tarrou kept looking back at him, but as he went deeper, he felt relieved to see that he did not seem to be in any discomfort and seemed to be adapting very well.
Those who could enter the Pure Faction were not mediocre. She had previously received several fellow members of the Faction who were also very capable. She felt that Chen Chuan's performance was natural.
Just as Chen Chuan and Taru jumped into the sea, a fishing boat docked on a small reef near Feiguang Island, and several people who looked like primitive people came onto the island.
Although they were wearing clothes similar to those of the local indigenous people, their bodies were too strong and sturdy, and there was an indelible smell of blood on their bodies.
This team is from the Linax Federation's "Turbulence Operation Team".
When the Ferris Wheel Company still existed, there were many mercenary teams and special teams from the Linax Federation on the Outer Ocean Island. They were responsible for destroying the ports and infrastructure of the Canglong Company and the Ocean Development Group, and assassinating the company's executives and important personnel.
Under the cover of the Ferris Wheel Company, they can often cause great damage, but with the collapse of the Ferris Wheel Company, they suddenly feel that the surrounding environment has become harsh.
Canglong Company and Ocean Development Group have begun to mobilize their forces to crack down on them, and the spies and gangs that could have provided them with assistance have also begun to target them.
It seemed that overnight, the situation was reversed.
This forced them to evacuate from the main cities here and hide on remote islands.
At this moment, someone pulled out a map, looked at the Feiguang Island ahead, and asked, "Is this the place?"
The other one took a look and said, "Yes, this is it. This is the island I visited last time with the expedition team."
The Linax Federation has sent expedition teams and technical personnel to various islands in the outer oceans and established biological experimental sites of various sizes.
Last year, they discovered that the sea area near Rowan Island, especially near Feiguang Island, had species that were very different from those in other places. Since ancient times, it has been filled with legends of various sea monsters, and some kind of vibration occurs from time to time on the seabed.
Most importantly, this was once the site of a fighting gym. With these factors combined, they believed that there might be a crack underneath.
The value of the rift is very great, not to mention that it is very likely a stable rift passed down from the old times. However, due to various reasons, this search plan only remained on paper. After losing the support point of the Ferris wheel, all this became impossible to achieve.
But when the Turbulence Team heard the news, they felt like they had found a treasure.
The help that rifts provide to fighters is self-evident, and this type of rift may have been developed by many generations. The existence on the opposite side may have become accustomed to coexisting with humans. If it can be taken down, at the very least, it can increase the strength of all of them.
Captain Utiko turned around and looked at all the team members. He said, "Canglong Company and Ocean Development Group are searching for us now, but the higher-ups have told us to stay and carry out harassment and sabotage missions in the rear..."
He sneered, "From then on, we have been abandoned. From now on, we have to plan for ourselves."
All teammates showed expressions of approval.
As the first people, they have never been truly trusted. Not only are their promotions slow, but they have always been cannon fodder, so they must find a way out.
This possible rift is an opportunity. If we can find it, occupy this area, and gather the teams of beginners from other places, it will be enough to cultivate an independent force.
Utiko continued, "I've already found out. There's a fighting gym on the island called Danliu Gym, but it's long since declined. The owner is a third-level fighter. She might know where the real rift is. All we have to do is capture her alive and find out the location from her!
At this time, his expression became ferocious and he painted a big pie for everyone.
"If we take control of this place, once I become a fighter, we can negotiate with any party and make them acknowledge our existence!"
All the team members were excited. This idea was not impossible to achieve because Utico was very strong. Although he was already in his forties, he was the one with the most potential to become a fighter in their generation. The only thing he lacked was resources.
Someone asked, "Captain, when do we start?"
"Yeah, when do we start?"
Utiko said, "No rush. Every year in mid-to-late July, strong winds blow here for about ten days. By then, all communications and exchanges in the surrounding area will become blocked. If we wait until then to take action, we can effectively cover our tracks."
Before that, we must first conduct investigations and make all necessary preparations."
Some people were puzzled: "Captain, he is just a third-level fighter. With you here and our cooperation, is he worthy of such attention?"
Utiko said cautiously: "The fighting gym has existed for so many years, there must be a lot of involvement, and there are still many people on the island. We can't control them all. If even one slips through the net, the news will get out and cause us trouble. We only have one chance.
We need to hire a few people to pretend to be tourists and get to know the island first, and then decide on a specific plan of action."
