Chapter 1467 - 1465: Something Happened to Tianhai
"The situation is dire. Many people in Tianhai City are suddenly displaying special abilities. Some have become incredibly strong, others have seen their speed drastically increase, and some can even emit flames. These are not the abilities of cultivators, and I have no idea how these people suddenly acquired them."
Zhu Tao looked at Ding Wan’er and shook his head helplessly, saying that the situation is indeed very bad. These individuals with special abilities are mostly young and don’t know how to control them. He was also very puzzled about how they had suddenly changed, but he couldn’t find any clues.
"What should we do? There have already been several incidents at Yingbo University." Hearing Zhu Tao’s words, Ding Wan’er furrowed her brows anxiously. In the past few days, several incidents caused by these people had occurred at Yingbo University. Although there hadn’t been any casualties yet, this trend was very concerning.
Zhu Tao also knew how bad the situation was. He had just returned from the Capital City and was met with such events. With Lin Feng not around, he was out of ideas, but after thinking for a moment, he still said to Ding Wan’er, "Okay, I’ll arrange for the kids and those students to patrol the campus and drive away those with special abilities. We’ll deal with other matters when the young master returns. What do you think?"
For now, Zhu Tao could only come up with this idea. While it wouldn’t completely resolve the problem, at least it could ensure there were no issues on campus. Everything would have to wait until Lin Feng returned to make arrangements.
"Alright, we’ll have to settle for this for now," Ding Wan’er said helplessly upon hearing Zhu Tao’s suggestion. Given the current circumstances, this was the only temporary measure she could take. She was really anxious and didn’t know when Lin Feng would come back.
Hearing Ding Wan’er agree with his plan, Zhu Tao disappeared from the office in a flash to return to the Spirit Realm and make the necessary arrangements. Meanwhile, Ding Wan’er sat alone in her office chair, contemplating the next steps...
This situation wasn’t happening only in Tianhai City but had affected many coastal cities. At a holiday resort in Haiming City, Qian Duoduo looked extremely displeased as she listened to her subordinates’ reports.
"You let someone trash our casinos in just a few days. Tell me, what are you all doing?" she shouted angrily at her subordinates kneeling before her. Haiming City had three casinos meant for wealthy patrons, yet they had all been hit in one day. How could she not be furious?
"Boss Qian, it’s not that we weren’t trying hard, but the young man who trashed the casino was way too fast and strong; we couldn’t stop him," one subordinate said plaintively, still in a plaster cast. The thought of that young man made his teeth itch with hatred.
"Boss Qian, we really tried our best."
"That kid was too odd; I don’t know what’s going on."
"Boss Qian, we... we couldn’t do anything."
...
Other subordinates echoed their frustrations. Usually, who would dare touch Great South Gang’s business? Yet a brat had appeared, accompanied by several others with special abilities, and they simply couldn’t withstand them.
"Have you found out any information about them?" Qian Duoduo asked, observing that nearly all her subordinates were in plaster. She understood they were telling the truth and probed further, wanting to know who exactly these people were so she could handle the situation.
"Boss Qian, the guys who wrecked the casino are just ordinary students. I don’t know what happened, but they suddenly underwent changes, inexplicably gaining special abilities, like those with powers in movies. This puzzled us all," the leading subordinate said, describing the findings. Even he was baffled by the whole situation — where did these super-powered individuals suddenly come from? As ordinary people, they had no way to deal with it.
"Ordinary students? With powers?" Qian Duoduo furrowed her brows at the report, finding it hard to comprehend what her subordinate was saying. How could ordinary students suddenly have powers? Could this be the work of some cultivators?
"Boss Qian, we’re telling the truth. Look at this surveillance footage, and you’ll understand," the subordinate hurriedly added as Qian Duoduo seemed doubtful. He then grabbed a tablet to show her. He had been studying the surveillance footage for days, also puzzled by how these ordinary students suddenly gained such abilities.
Seeing the tablet being handed over, Qian Duoduo didn’t say anything and watched quietly. After viewing the surveillance footage, she finally believed her subordinates. The footage clearly showed these young people indeed possessed abilities beyond normal humans; one person could even spit fire, clearly not a cultivator!
Putting the tablet aside, she furrowed her brows again, pondering how to deal with the situation. These people weren’t cultivators yet had powers, which was evidently abnormal. She had to get to the bottom of this.
"You all go and rest while I think of a solution — casino operations are temporarily halted," she said, leaving the room and returning to her quarters.
Upon entering, she called Ding Wan’er.
"Sister Wan’er, when will Lin Feng be back? I’m in trouble here!" Qian Duoduo sought to discuss strategies with Ding Wan’er, eager to know if she had heard from Lin Feng, hoping that he could help her handle this situation once back.
"You’re in trouble too? What’s going on?" Ding Wan’er asked, surprised by Qian Duoduo’s words. As the leader of the Great South Gang, what trouble could she encounter?
"Here’s the situation: Our Great South Gang has three casinos in Haiming City, and they were all trashed in one day. That’s not the main issue; the real problem is those who wrecked the casinos weren’t ordinary people. They were ordinary individuals with different abilities, and I’ve confirmed they’re not cultivators. It’s really odd how they suddenly possess these abilities," Qian Duoduo explained to Ding Wan’er, curious about these people’s identities and how they got their special powers.
"What, you’ve encountered these special people too? Many such people have popped up in Tianhai City as well. Old Zhu looked into it, and they are just ordinary people who inexplicably gained special abilities. It’s incredibly abnormal, yet we have no solution here either unless Lin Feng returns," Ding Wan’er was shocked to hear this, realizing the problem was not just in Tianhai but along the coast. What could be done!
"This situation is truly abnormal. Since Lin Feng isn’t back, I’ll have my subordinates be cautious for now. Let me know when Lin Feng returns," Qian Duoduo responded, surprised by Ding Waner’s information. She sensed an impending storm, indicating this wasn’t a simple matter. With no immediate solution, they had to wait until Lin Feng returned for a decision.
Ending the call, Qian Duoduo covered her face with her hands, pondering how to deal with these suddenly-appearing individuals with special abilities. If not handled well, the Great South Gang could plunge into even greater troubles.
And indeed, as Qian Duoduo feared, Great South Gang’s various establishments in coastal cities were under attack. Casinos, bathhouses, and other grey areas encountered issues one after another. As the reports kept flowing in, Qian Duoduo felt overwhelmed and wished desperately for Lin Feng’s return...
......
"So this is Oblivion Sect! It’s so magnificent!"
Xia Lalan marveled at the enormous complex built against the mountains in the distance. The peaks reached into the clouds, with the vast structures covering half the mountainside. Each building was massive and could be seen clearly from miles away. She had not expected Oblivion Sect to be in such a place.
"It truly is impressive," Moyan also remarked, surprised by the sight of Oblivion Sect. By comparison, it was the most impressive religious building she had seen. Even in the world she came from, conventional sects didn’t have this kind of grandeur. It was clear that Oblivion Sect wasn’t as simple as they had thought.
"It’s nothing; let’s go," Lin Feng said with a faint smile as he looked at Oblivion Sect in the distance. The structures looked impressive, but having seen Yuanxu Heavenly Realm, he was no longer amazed by other architecture.
Xia Lalan and Moyan nodded at Lin Feng’s words and continued towards Oblivion Sect. Lin Feng never tackled anything he wasn’t sure of, so they weren’t worried and followed him without concern.
In the blink of an eye, they were about ten kilometers from Oblivion Sect when suddenly five robed young men appeared, apparently in their twenties. They blocked the road, examining Lin Feng and his companions, curious about their identities upon noticing their attire didn’t belong to anyone from Heaven Origin Secret Realm.
