"What? Someone else is eyeing the Muchen Pearl?" The mysterious man was shocked and furious, unable to vent his anger and feeling extremely frustrated.
No one knew that during the warlord wars of the Republic of China, the mysterious man's master, for the sake of the country and its people, exposed the Muchen Pearl Gold Foil and was hunted down by various forces.
Although the mysterious man's master ultimately escaped death, he was severely injured. He then passed on his inner strength to the mysterious man in a profound and enlightening way, and passed away with a smile.
That's a blood feud!
If it weren't for the ancient sages' will that he would only appear once every twenty years, the mysterious man would have already stormed into the mortal world to seek revenge on his enemies.
The mysterious man's last appearance coincided with the late stages of the Japanese invasion, a time of constant warfare that prevented him from seeking revenge for his master, leaving him with a deep-seated grudge.
At this moment, when the mysterious man heard that someone else was eyeing the Muchen Pearl, he realized that the descendants of the people who had hunted down his master had inherited their ancestors' ambitions and were determined to seize the Muchen Pearl.
Otherwise, no one would know about the Muchen Pearl and the gold foil.
The only people who know this are those from the forces that the mysterious master came into contact with back then. They are at least sixty or seventy years old now, and it is impossible for someone of that age to participate in the current series of battles for the Muchen Pearl gold foil.
The only possibility is their descendants.
Tian Juan snorted angrily: "Do you know that?"
"For some Muchen Pearl and gold foil, you almost killed Zheng Ya's entire family! Tell me, didn't you expose my whereabouts back then, bringing disaster upon me?"
"No, that's impossible. Back then, I asked some people from outside the secular world about the murderer who was hunting down my master. It's impossible for them to have exposed their tracks..." The mysterious man became increasingly agitated as he spoke.
His initial resentment gradually turned into surprise. What was he thinking?
Among those reclusive individuals he may have consulted, some may have had contact with the people who hunted down his master back then, and thus gleaned the timeline of their birth, planning the current coup d'état.
After all, very little information about the Muchen Pearl has been passed down in the world. Unless someone is determined to search the entire world, they might be able to find some fragments about the Muchen Pearl.
No one outside the area knew the specifics of the Muchen Pearl.
At most, it's just a legend that the Muchen Pearl can help people travel through time and space, cultivate immortality, and other miraculous stories, which are then spread as rumors.
The true form and significance of the Muchen Pearl are known only to the mysterious man and the ancient sages.
Even their relatives deliberately concealed the truth, lest they inadvertently leak it and bring about unforeseen disaster.
Therefore, the mysterious man was almost certain that the people currently plotting against the Muchen Pearl were those who had come into contact with him and his disciples, and their descendants. They were scheming and their wicked intentions were undiminished.
Tian Juan had only heard the mysterious person mention the importance of the Muchen Pearl and the gold foil, and that it was for the purpose of avenging her master. She was convinced that this series of schemes were all traps centered around the Muchen Pearl.
After all, outsiders initially only knew that Zheng Ya was Tian Juan's son. As the masterminds, that small group of people, in order to prevent the Muchen Pearl and the gold foil from spreading and becoming detrimental to their acquisition of the Muchen Pearl and the gold foil, had been secretly plotting and scheming, and they targeted Zheng Daotong and Zheng Ya.
Because Tian Juan was busy working inside a classified unit all day, she didn't give the masterminds any opportunity to plot against or arrest her. So the masterminds could only target Tian Juan's relatives and friends.
During this time, Tian Juan was the most anxious, but unfortunately she dared not mention the matter of the Muchen Pearl and gold foil. She was anxious in her heart but could do nothing about it.
Of course, Tian Juan also harbored a sliver of hope that the other party wasn't after the Muchen Pearl Gold Foil, but merely a coincidence.
Besides, Tian Juan knew in her heart that the mysterious man had sacrificed himself on the battlefield back then. Revealing the Muchen Pearl would only bring trouble upon himself, and he couldn't explain it clearly. She could only accept the outbreak of everything.
Even now, no matter how naive Tian Juan is, she realizes that everything was a trap set by the enemy to seduce Muchen Pearl and Gold Foil.
This is because the enemy has escalated the situation to the capital, kidnapped officials' relatives, and there are certainly many other undisclosed acts of sabotage and assassination targets.
All of this happened because Tian Juan saw the mysterious man appear and instantly realized that it was all a trouble caused by the desire to seize the Muchen Pearl.
Seeing the mysterious man's increasingly guilty expression, Tian Juan said urgently, "Aren't you going to save your son Zheng Ya? Do you want him to be implicated and die because of you?"
"Okay, I'm going right now. You must take care and wait for me to come back!" Upon hearing his son's name, the mysterious man's eyes turned red with anxiety. He left those words behind and darted out the door, disappearing without a trace.
They came and went in a hurry. Tian Juan was so angry that her teeth ached. She stomped her feet and punched the air to vent her anger: "Bastard, he must want to take the child away and follow in his old ways. How despicable!"
However, I hope he will spare Zheng Ya's life to repay my debt to Zheng Daotong and his son, and I hope Zheng Ya will live a good life!
In the suburbs of Beijing, trucks, jeeps, bicycles, and people rushing towards Changping are speeding along the various roads and paths leading to Changping.
Strangely, there were no military or police personnel present; instead, it was a mix of individuals and small teams dressed as ordinary people from various units, converging on the Changping mountain area from all directions.
Of course, there were also figures like the former director riding a bicycle to the Changping mountain area, as well as Fu Qingyao's security team's convoy, which slowly made its way towards the Changping mountain area.
There was also a strange group, led by Brigade Commander Lei, who traveled to the Changping mountain area in a large truck.
All sorts of deities gathered and marched with all their might toward the Changping mountain area.
At this moment, Zheng Ya had basically finished setting up the three traps and was greeted by Xu Erdan's group of six. He beckoned them over and said, "Isn't this Comrade Xu Erdan, the militia captain of Xu Family Village?"
We meet again?
"Haha, nice to meet you. I was very rude last time, please don't take offense." Xu Erdan, with a Type 38 rifle in hand, led five militiamen to jog up to him and greet him.
They're all smiles on the outside, but they're scheming on the inside.
Zheng Ya was speechless at the thought that this guy was too ambitious and was definitely plotting to steal credit.
If it weren't for the need for someone to bluff and intimidate the enemy's scale and speed of attack, Zheng Ya really didn't want them to get involved, so he smiled and said, "You six can split into three groups."
Each of you is to occupy this cave-covered hilltop, and the hilltops opposite and diagonally opposite. As long as you hear me firing in front, you are to wage guerrilla warfare against the enemy.
Remember this: do not venture into the area more than 300 meters from here. I have set up countless traps and mechanisms in that area. If you step into it, you will be killed by the traps and mechanisms.
There are guns, bullets, and three boxes of grenades in the cave—enough to deal with the enemy. Go and move the weapons and ammunition to set up an ambush!
"Uh, no, I wanted to ask, are there many enemies?" Xu Erdan broke out in a cold sweat. He was indeed greedy for credit, but he didn't want to lose his life!
They're giving out tons of orders and grenades right off the bat, it's like they're setting up a major battle, isn't that scary?
The militia near Xujiazhuang had engaged in several minor skirmishes with enemy agents, but they had never fought a major battle. The six men were uncertain and panicked...
