If they dare to attack Huo Fei today, then tomorrow that old man Yuan Chi will dare to lead a group of monks to attack the Special Security Bureau.
Alas! Back then, it took them a tremendous amount of effort to persuade Huo Fei to come from Luohan Temple. The younger generation only knew that Huo Fei was a powerful demon they had invited to guard the prison, but they didn't know that after the mass riot in the prison, everyone sensed something was amiss and asked the most skilled diviners from Hong Kong and Taiwan to perform a divination. The divination results all indicated that Huo Fei from Luohan Temple could help them, and the divination also showed that he was the hope for the prosperity of all cultivators.
It is tragic and lamentable that a group of cultivators who dedicated themselves to subduing demons and monsters ultimately found their rise and fall in the hands of the demon race.
Young people haven't witnessed the era of abundant spiritual energy, but these old folks have. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, the spiritual energy was far more plentiful than it is now. However, after two world wars, the earth's spiritual energy gradually dissipated, and now it's so thin that even cultivation has become a problem. Colleagues in Hong Kong and Taiwan have calculated that Huo Fei is key to restoring the earth's spiritual energy.
However, even the most skilled diviners in the Xuanmen sect can only grasp a fraction of the mysteries of such matters, and cannot explore the deeper aspects. It was for this reason that they tried every means to invite Huo Fei out of seclusion, hoping to build a good relationship with him so that when they needed his help someday, he would remember their kindness and give them some face.
He was the only one present who knew about this. He desperately wanted to avoid any conflict between cultivators and Huo Fei.
Huo Fei snorted coldly upon hearing the long-browed old Taoist speak, slightly toning down his imposing aura. Looking at the crowd, he threatened, "It's understandable that you're investigating Tengshe's whereabouts, but you can't involve other demon races. If I find out anyone has secretly broken the agreement, then... don't blame me for being ruthless. The demon race has a small population; losing one is a loss, unlike your human race which numbers in the billions."
Before Luo Mang emerged from seclusion, Huo Fei didn't want to completely sever ties with these guys. Besides, things weren't entirely hopeless. Once Luo Mang emerged and the human race witnessed his power, they would weigh the pros and cons of provoking him. At that time, it would buy Silver Ring some more time.
Now, we can only stall until Luo Mang leaves the pass.
Perhaps when Luo Mang reappears, he can help Yin Huan awaken sooner by relying on the inherited memories.
"Protector Huo is threatening us." Huo Fei's impolite tone angered He Bingquan.
He raised his eyes, staring directly at Huo Fei, a fleeting glint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Huo Fei glanced at him dismissively, completely disregarding his murderous intent. He chuckled, "So what if I threaten you, junior? You're the director of the Security Bureau, and I'm willing to give you some face. But if you don't know when to stop, then I won't be polite. You're not qualified to speak to me. Call your ancestors to talk to me. Alright, this meeting is pointless, I won't keep you company." With that, his gaze shifted to the long-browed old Taoist: "Old Taoist Xiao, tell those old guys that if they don't have the energy to discipline the younger generation, I don't mind doing it for them."
As the longest-surviving demon in the world, Huo Fei was not without temper. He had simply cultivated his character for so long that he was unwilling to bother with these juniors. However, the murderous intent in He Bingquan's eyes completely ignited Huo Fei's anger.
Do you really think he's a Buddhist practitioner who wouldn't kill? He's a Buddha who kills... Even if he kills someone, the Buddhist scriptures will wash away his sins. The practitioners in this world have no say in his affairs.
Don't be fooled by Huo Fei's easygoing demeanor while in prison, where he seemed to be bossed around by Yin Huan. When facing human cultivators, he is arrogant and awe-inspiring. When angry, a single disdainful glance is enough to intimidate everyone.
If he truly lacked real skill, how could he possibly intimidate the cultivation world with the power of a mere demon?
After Huo Fei finished speaking, he gave He Bingquan a cold look, then his figure flickered and he suddenly disappeared from the conference room.
After Huo Fei left, the conference room fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, their expressions grave.
The old Taoist sighed and stood up: "Let's disperse. The search for the Teng Snake will go from open to covert. We can investigate secretly. Judging from Huo Fei's expression, it seems that searching for the Teng Snake has angered him."
He Bingquan: "Senior Xiao, the Tengshe matter is of utmost importance..."
Old Daoist Xiao raised his hand, interrupting him, saying, "So what if the matter is of great importance? As long as Huo Fei doesn't want you to investigate further, not only you, but even we old folks have no choice but to back down. Do you really think that Gu Daozi and the others didn't have a chance to make a move when Tengshe underwent its tribulation? You're wrong. It wasn't that they didn't have a chance to make a move, but that all the fellow Daoists present were wary of Huo Fei. Bingquan, go back to the He family and ask your grandfather what kind of person Huo Fei is."
He Bingquan didn't take it seriously: "It's just a demon with profound cultivation."
Old Daoist Xiao looked at him and shook his head in disappointment: "He is indeed just a demon, but he is a demon who is not afraid of Buddhist and Taoist teachings, and he is also the most powerful demon in the demon race. Let alone you, even if all of us old guys were to mobilize, we might not be able to shake him." After saying that, Old Daoist Xiao advised: "Bingquan, you are in this position, you cannot act according to your own preferences."
Upon hearing this, He Bingquan closed his eyes slightly and said in a cryptic tone, "Yes, thank you for your guidance, senior."
Seeing his expression, Master Xiao sighed inwardly. It seemed he needed to get together with the old guys; the Special Security Bureau couldn't be run by a director who acted on a whim.
He Bingquan has been the director for two years, and we hadn't seen this side of him before, but now...
A group of people, their minds filled with complex emotions, slowly left the meeting room.
What happened to the Special Security Bureau is another matter. As soon as Huo Fei left the conference room, he immediately transformed into his original form and shot straight into the sky from the Special Security Bureau headquarters building. He didn't directly call Qing Mang; in this high-tech age, obtaining someone else's conversation records was an easy task.
