Chapter 60 Calculation and Trials
Senior Inspector Frank sighed. "Chief, Chief Meng is completely ignoring this matter. Chief Wang of the Punishment Hall said that Dong Guanfei was originally just a nominal disciple. In the next few days, they will hold an incense ceremony to expel Dong Guanfei from the ship gang and remove him from the register."
"In fact, if we hadn't pursued the matter, the boatmen's guild wouldn't have needed to hold an incense ceremony at all; they could have simply expelled Dong Guanfei from the guild."
"Director, should we continue to put pressure on the shipping guild?"
Edward took a deep drag on his Delp cigar, and after a few seconds slowly exhaled a wisp of white smoke. "Forget it, as long as the ship crew removes Dong Guanfei from their list, it means they've severed ties with Dong Guotao."
"The boatmen's guild owed Dong Guotao a huge favor back then. Dong Guotao will definitely be very disappointed when he finds out about this. We'll just have to wait and see his reaction."
"Keep a close eye on those three joint archaeological teams. They should have news from them in about two weeks. Report back immediately if anything comes up."
"Yes, Director."
Flac breathed a sigh of relief.
The real reason Edward stopped oppressing the ship crew was because of their very complex background and close ties with several high-ranking officials in the Empire.
Therefore, Flac himself did not want to pressure the ship gang about the matter of a nominal disciple, otherwise he would easily be shot in the back.
Once Dong Guotao and his nephew robbed three joint archaeological teams and the foreign firms behind them, the matter became public and they naturally could no longer hide it.
......
Around 10 p.m., near the Golden Eagle Federation Concession in the Bilcardia Empire Concession, there was a Western-style house surrounded by a wall made of polished blue bricks.
The house was dark and quiet, as if no one lived there.
Wearing a smock and cloak, Lolina lightly leaped over the wall into the garden, then walked unhurriedly along the bluestone path toward the villa gate.
There is no moon tonight, and the starlight is equally dim.
In the quiet of the night, the temperature inside the courtyard was noticeably lower than outside, creating a strange sense of coldness and oppression.
The rhythmic "clack" of the heels of the high-top leather boots sounded particularly eerie.
As she reached the villa's gate, a deep, hoarse voice suddenly rang out in the air: "Your breathing is unsteady. Have you been seriously injured these past two days?"
Lolina immediately knelt on one knee, bowed her head respectfully, and replied, "Yes, sir."
"explain!"
"Last night, when I attacked Fu Jianming in the first-class carriage of the train from Xicheng to the concession, a young Xia ethnic minority man who looked to be around twenty years old intervened."
"That young man clearly looked like a Qi cultivator at the peak of the early stage of the Transcendent Realm, yet he was able to identify me immediately and even activate a peak Gold-level energy shield."
"Furthermore, his marksmanship was superb. He completely ignored my blood-light distortion power and hit his target every time, killing fifteen of my twenty-seven fission clones."
"After recovering slightly, I ambushed Fu again near the mansion. Unexpectedly, Fu Jianming invited that guy to come back with me. He spotted me from 40 or 50 meters away and immediately shot at me, causing me to be seriously injured again and escape."
The air suddenly became quiet.
After a long pause, the deep voice sounded again: "An Eastern Qi cultivator around twenty years old who seems to have reached the Divine Intent realm?"
"Not necessarily. He didn't use any abilities or spells, but he could definitely lock onto my position, making it impossible for me to dodge every shot."
"In this case, either his mental strength has reached the level of divine will, or he has a powerful magical artifact that is at least a holy artifact."
"You should focus on recovering and postpone your actions against the Fu family. Come back in ten days and wait for my notification. The altar and sacrificial stones will arrive soon. The Blood God Temple must be built before the Blood God Festival."
"Yes, sir."
Lolina stood up, bowed deeply, and then quickly left.
Around 6 a.m. four days later.
When Dong Guanfei woke up, he found that the transformation of his body had already ended, so this transformation took less than four days.
If the physical transformations after the next seven spiritual nodes are lit all take only this long, he will advance to the spiritual realm within one or two months.
He immediately took a Great Spirit-Nourishing Pill, and then entered the spatial cabin to cultivate two spiritual techniques.
Approximately 185 minutes later, the third key nodes of both secret techniques were simultaneously activated.
The Vermilion Bird Divine Will and the Azure Dragon Divine Will simultaneously opened their mouths and inhaled, causing the fire-type and water-type spiritual energy particles in the spatial cabin to surge into the two hemispheres of the Sea of Souls respectively.
About ten minutes later, the Sea of Souls stabilized after doubling in size, and the two fluids, one cold and one hot, immediately began to transform his body again.
Three minutes later, Dong Guanfei took the seventh Great Essence Pill.
About seven minutes later, the sea of souls was once again filled with fire and water elemental energy particles, and Dong Guanfei continued to cultivate the fourth spiritual node of the two spiritual techniques.
He stopped after about ninety-two minutes.
He consumed nine Great Spirit Elixir pills during this cultivation session and cultivated for nearly five hours.
He estimated that after two more practice sessions, he would be able to activate the fourth spiritual node of both spiritual techniques.
In other words, under normal circumstances, he could do it in the early morning of four days later.
Dong Guanfei ate a delicious lunch and then went to Huashan to continue his cultivation.
Half an hour later, at the Shibapu Wharf in Zhujiawan, a traditional Eastern-style mansion.
This is the home of Meng Guanghai, the leader of the boatmen's guild.
Meng Keqing looked at her father earnestly, "Father, when Uncle Dong left, he specifically asked us to take care of Dong Guanfei. I oppose expelling him from the shipyard."
Meng Guanghai put down his teacup, his face grave. "You don't know the inside story. Dong Guanfei should have been picked up by your Uncle Dong."
"This matter involves a huge number of people, and we could be destroyed if we are not careful."
"If Dong Guanfei is really with us now, I will naturally do my best to protect him."
"Given the current situation, by expelling Dong Guanfei from the boatmen's guild, we can publicly sever ties with the uncle and nephew, which will actually allow us to better help them covertly."
"If your Uncle Dong really needs our help, he will naturally contact me."
"In addition, I have also arranged for many spies to investigate this matter, and I will try to be the first to find them."
"You are now at a critical juncture in your advancement to the late stage of True Strength Boxing Master. Don't let this distract you. Go back to your master's place this afternoon."
Meng Keqing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
As long as the ship crew doesn't help the foreigners deal with the Dong family uncle and nephew, that's fine.
"Father, how could you let Dong Guanfei be swindled by the Money Gang, the Yan Clan, and the Que Clan?"
"That kid Dong Guanfei is like a blank sheet of paper. I'm deliberately trying to toughen him up and let him experience the harsh realities of the world."
"You can tell how inexperienced he is by how poorly he handled this; he didn't even ask us for help."
"In reality, those guys won't get their hands on the mansions belonging to the uncle and nephew at all."
"Now, I've obtained the mortgaged land deeds and house deeds through someone else."
