"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. Right now, there's a sect dispute going on. The deputy leader of the Thunder Sect will be here to inspect. He's a great ancestor of the Yan family. Please be careful to maintain a certain degree of control and don't offend him by mistake."
Zhao Lin didn't have much of a favorable impression of Chi Yun, as he had never seen anyone in their seventies or eighties pretend to be so young. After all, in terms of age and seniority, the red-haired woman in front of him was a generation older than him.
But out of kindness, he still gave the other party a few words of advice.
"The Thunder Sect? Are they so great? They patrol every state whenever they want? Do they think they're the parliament?" Chi Yun's playful expression suddenly turned gloomy after hearing about the Thunder Sect. "If it weren't for a powerful founder, would they be able to interfere in the state government now?"
The Xia Federation is not as monolithic as it appears. As an unofficial organization, the Thunder Faction has a network of influence spread across various states and has the ability to interfere in federal politics, military, and economy. This has caused great dissatisfaction among personnel in the federal government system.
Therefore, the internal conflicts were extremely serious, but due to the pressing situation, they had not yet erupted. Even the middle and upper echelons of the guard system were mostly controlled by the Thunder Faction, not to mention the other departments of authority. In this situation, who would dare to turn against them so easily?
Even the current First Speaker of the Xia Federation would not act rashly.
"I know your family and Lei Ting are not on good terms, but... don't act rashly. If something goes wrong, it will be the Palace Master who will bear the consequences."
Zhao Lin frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Oh, I know it's not the right time. The Thunder Sect is huge..." Chi Yun sneered twice and turned to look out at the hazy night. "Unfortunately, it's not hundreds of years ago now. The Yan family has been gradually declining over the past few decades. Only two ancestors from the previous generation are still serving in the council. When they die of old age, the Thunder Sect will fall apart."
"Chi Yun, your idea is very dangerous!" Zhao Lin's calm expression faltered, and he said in a deep voice, "You are now the guardian of the jurisdiction, not a member of the ruling party. Don't interfere in these matters! How the federal and state governments operate will naturally be handled by others."
Regardless of the Thunder Sect's identity, its members were integrated with the various regions. If it truly fell apart, the Xia Federation could suffer significant damage, and even civil war could break out. What good would that do for them, who were finally enjoying peace?
Chi Yun shook her long red hair, took a deep look at the handsome Zhao Lin, and smiled inexplicably: "You are still young and don't understand these things."
After saying this, she exploded into a ball of fire and instantly disappeared into the air, leaving behind only the smell of sulfur that lingered for a long time.
Zhao Lin frowned, speechless: "Chi Yun, you are the least qualified to say such things."
He thought for a moment and still felt a little worried. If Chi Yun acted recklessly in such an important occasion as the sect dispute, it might bring disaster to the lord of the mansion.
Although the martial artists are not strong, those who can participate in the state-level school competition are all the force reserves of medium and large schools. They may awaken in a few years. If any accidents happen, the major schools will investigate.
This crazy woman Chi Yun is really impossible to control...!
Zhao Lin first called the regional guard captain, explained the situation here, and then turned around and left. He still planned to go see the master of the mansion in person.
......
Around the provincial capital, Nanyun City, apart from the crisscrossing railways and highways, there are endless plains and hills with a very high greening rate. Factories are all located in fixed areas, so most other places are not affected by human pollution and destruction.
It was already early morning, and everything was silent except for the rustling sounds of insects, which echoed among the trees and grass.
In the rolling hills, a miniature dark red rabbit, with all four paws on the ground, kept jumping forward.
The dark red color of the rabbit has blended into the surrounding night. No one would notice that such a strange creature is active in this place.
At this time, Xu Xianxian, who had transformed into a black and red rabbit, was constantly shuttling between the bushes. She did not stop until the dangerous aura behind her completely disappeared. After the fierce fight, she forced herself to speed up and escape. Even a ninth-level martial artist felt a little exhausted.
Xu Xianxian glanced around, then lay down on a nearby big tree, gasping for breath.
“Hu…Hu…”
Although he did not suffer any substantial injuries this time, the shock he received was much greater than the one during the fight.
"Jones is already strong enough, several times stronger than Vidan back then... but I didn't expect someone even stronger to attack." The black and red smoke around Xu Xianxian dissipated, revealing her petite figure. Her raven hair now fell loose, draping over her shoulders. "It seems the levels of Force users vary greatly."
She didn't know whether Jones was alive or dead, but he was definitely not doing well.
"It seems that being a mere ninth-level martial artist isn't enough in this treacherous and turbulent state! It's a big city, with a lot of depth. It's not comparable to a small place like Hongjing." Xu Xianxian wiped the sweat from her forehead, her bright red lips slightly pursed, looking unhappy. "But I'm still three hundred or so points short of resentment power to deduce the next level. Where can I get so much resentment?!"
Killing an ordinary person would only result in about 0.1 points of damage. For a professional gunman or martial artist, the damage would only hover between 0.5 and single digits. A Force user like Vidan would only have a few dozen points at most.
In other words, Xu Xianxian would either have to slaughter thousands of ordinary people, or kill dozens of professional martial artists, or try her luck with six or seven Force users, in order to reach the tenth level in a short period of time.
But no matter which one you choose, it will inevitably lead to a chain of big troubles, and even cost you your life, which is completely not worth the loss.
Although Xu Xianxian is bloodthirsty, she is not yet crazy.
"You can try your luck in places like prisons and execution grounds, but those places are heavily guarded by guards and have all-around surveillance. If you're discovered by mistake, you'll be in trouble..."
Xu Xianxian shook her head, rejecting one possibility after another.
This made her look up at the sky, she heaved a sigh of relief with a look of helplessness, and shouted loudly: "Ah - God! Please let a pie fall from the sky and hit me!"
The little girl's voice spread far and wide, but in this wilderness, no one could hear it.
Bang!
Just after Xu Xianxian shouted this, a blue meteor streaked across a long arc from the faraway sky and then hit her little head directly.
This...what is this flag?
The little girl stood there in a daze, looking confused.
(The subscriptions have plummeted, like a salted fish. The results are even worse than the previous book. Only one person has subscribed out of 20 collections. This issue is the last one on the shelf. I don’t know why... I will update slowly today to let me recover from the sadness.)
