Yingtian Prefecture, Temple of King Mingling.
Just about an hour ago, accompanied by a violent shaking, tiles of the City God Temple, which covers an area of more than ten thousand square meters, fell off, the walls cracked, and the statues exploded.
Countless pilgrims were evacuated, and the company and the police cordoned off the scene. Cordons were drawn one after another. At first it was just the City God Temple, but later it became a street.
As Yingtian Prefecture entered the second-level alert, the blockade was expanded to eight streets. Traffic control was implemented in a 10-kilometer radius with Chenghuang Temple as the center, and tens of thousands of people left.
Another hour passed.
The streets were empty except for some stray animals and birds, and the company's operators in uniform.
One by one, the foundation-building monks were climbing walls and flying over rooftops in the blockaded area. Although they could not fly in the air like the Jindan Zhenren, they could achieve short gliding through methods such as the light body technique.
It can leap ten meters high and then glide quickly for several hundred meters. It has absolute maneuverability in complex terrain like urban areas.
A middle-aged man with a stern face walked on the wind and landed in front of the City God Temple.
This person was Zhu Yunwei, the company employee who wanted to overturn the verdict for the people. He was supposed to be transferred out of Beijing at this time. However, due to some reasons, his transfer was cancelled and all his duties were restored.
Not only was he not punished, he was even promoted to a higher level.
Zhu Yunwei felt that everything had been going smoothly since that day. The new leaders were very polite to him and almost responded to his every request.
He looked up and saw a long cordon ahead, with battle flags planted on the ground.
There are at least 0 foundation-building stages guarding the formation. The defense here can withstand one round of fire coverage and the raid of an ordinary Jindan.
As soon as Zhu Yunwei landed, a colleague came up to him and saluted:
"Team Leader Zhu, according to the instructions from above, the command of the scene is transferred to you."
"Huh?" Zhu Yunwei was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "I'm just a Class A operator, why give me the command when there are many people with higher positions than me?"
The company's internal organizational structure is similar to that of the military. When it comes to on-site command, the person with the highest position usually takes command first, followed by the cultivators.
There were dozens of people present who were all in the foundation-building stage, and five or six of them had stronger auras than himself. These people were also well-known among the local cultivators, and each had their own unique skills. In terms of position, he was just an operator, and in terms of cultivation, he could not compare to others.
"This is an order from above," the operator replied, then patted Zhu Yunwei on the shoulder, lowered his voice, and gave a thumbs up.
"Old Zhu, you are really rich this time. The government directly appointed you to take charge. Do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean?"
"Gold plating, the higher-ups are going to promote you! Level 2 alert, the national defense level will be here soon, and you will just be a figurehead by then. If something goes wrong, it won't be your fault. If it's successfully completed, you will be credited with a merit."
My colleagues' words were full of envy.
As a disciple of a Jindan elder of a certain sect, although his background is not top-notch, it is enough for him to occupy a place in the company.
The company is a place where all parties compete, and there is never a shortage of capable people. All positions have clear prices, and you may not be able to get a position just because you have the ability and merits, you need to have a background.
What determines how high you can climb is not your ability or merit, but whether there is a dragon or a worm standing behind you.
Zhu Yunwei has no background. He is a little genius, but he is too stubborn. Previously, the leaders of Yinggang Company had offended many people, and this was not the first time.
Basically no one wants this kind of troublemaker.
"Brother Zhu, if you become rich and powerful, please don't forget me."
Zhu Yunwei was not happy when he heard this. Instead, he frowned and said, "This is not in compliance with the rules and regulations. I will report it to my superiors."
"Hey, why are you still so stubborn? Can't you just keep the benefits first?"
My colleague finally figured it out. No wonder this guy was nicknamed the Stubborn Donkey.
No wonder so many factions tried to win you over, but none of them succeeded.
Zhu Yunwei remained unmoved and said, "I will never do anything that violates the rules. If you want to play tricks on me, please find another place."
"But you can't just show up and not do your job, right? Take the job first, and then you can report to the higher-ups. Are you going to run away from the battlefield?"
After some advice from his colleagues, Zhu Yunwei thought for a moment and nodded to take the position.
After entering the camp, Zhu Yunwei had some communication and checked the situation on site and finally came to a conclusion.
This is not something that these little monks like them can handle. The formation set up here is more about preventing mortals from breaking in than guarding the City God Temple.
There is never a shortage of people seeking death these days. Once the blockade is not in place, so-called Internet celebrities will rush in with their mobile phones and various filming tools.
The next day, a handsome young man in a green Taoist robe descended from the sky.
A national-level figure of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Taoist Qingxuan.
Everyone gathered together, bowed and said, "Greetings to Taoist Master Qing Xuan."
Qingxuan's eyes fell on Zhu Yunwei, and he said with a gentle smile on his face: "Are you Zhu Yunwei?"
Zhu Yunwei was stunned when his name was mentioned. He didn't expect that such a big shot at the national level would know him. He was a top figure in the cultivation world.
Taoist Qingxuan is the idol of countless cultivators. Before the emergence of worldly immortals, his popularity was second only to that of sword immortals, and in some aspects he even surpassed them.
After all, the methods of Shangqing Palace can best satisfy all the fantasies of the people of Shenzhou about cultivating immortals, and the first choice of local cultivators for further studies is Shangqing Palace.
He nodded repeatedly, somewhat flattered, and replied: "Yes...it's me. Do you know me?"
Zhu Yunwei clearly felt that the people around him looked at him differently.
