Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Xu Zhiming Arrives Latest content published on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Ji Yang had not expected Xu Zhiming to arrive so quickly; the very next day, Ji Yang saw Xu Zhiming and his team arriving.
After receiving them and bringing them to the task force, Xu Zhiming said, “Let’s find a place to talk.”
Ji Yang nodded slightly and quickly arranged a room.
By the time they entered the room, only Xu Zhiming and two middle-aged men were left inside.
One of the middle-aged men looked at Ji Yang and said, “I’m Niu Yong from Section Ten. You’re a cultivator, aren’t you, Chief Ji?”
Ji Yang looked back at the man, having not expected them to have guessed his situation.
In truth, with the way things had developed, Ji Yang no longer cared about concealing his cultivation level.
“How did you guess?” Ji Yang asked.
“We have people in Myanmar as well,” said Xu Zhiming. “To be able to kill that many people without others being aware, including quite a number of Western special operatives, it’s not something even those who have trained in inner strength can do. Furthermore, after learning about the situation here, we analyzed the incidents in Shisong County and also those in Ximu City, and you were the most suspicious.”
Ji Yang smiled and said, “Indeed, I am a cultivator, and moreover, I can withstand the Mortal Dust Qi. I believe that one of the main reasons you came is because of this, right?”
At this moment, the other middle-aged man looked at Ji Yang and asked, “Can you really withstand the Mortal Dust Qi?”
Ji Yang had already scrutinized both individuals clearly; they were cultivators with the Qi Refinement second layer, which was far from sufficient in his presence.
Ji Yang said, “You’re from Section Ten. How much do you know about cultivation?”
Upon hearing Ji Yang’s question, the first man who spoke said, “Nowadays, true cultivators are all within the Blessed Lands and Caves. Most are reluctant to come out. When we do come out, we have to carry various magic artifacts. Even with magic artifacts, we can’t stay in the Mortal Dust Qi for too long. Thus, any means to resist the Mortal Dust Qi are necessary. What are your terms for sharing such a method?”
Ji Yang naturally knew what they were thinking.
“If I don’t share it, will you try to take it by force?”
“That would not be the case. We wouldn’t do such a thing. We just want to negotiate as much as possible. Besides, it’s likely that word has already spread, and there are cultivators in the West as well; they might pose a threat to you.”
“Do you know what my cultivation level is?” Ji Yang asked with a smile.
Both men looked at Ji Yang.
“How much do you know about the levels of cultivation?”
Both men shook their heads.
Ji Yang said, “There’s an Ancient Sect in Myanmar here, which has been hidden in this place all along. Do you know about that? There are also Ancient Sects in the deserts, the seas, the ice plains. Do you know about them? Cultivators can reach the true cultivation world through teleportation. Do you know that?”
All of them widened their eyes in shock.
Xu Zhiming was also quite stunned; he had not expected to be discussing such matters, of which he had only a vague understanding and was not very clear about.
Seeing their reaction, Ji Yang said, “So, you know nothing about the world of cultivation, and even less about the methods of cultivators. Do you realize that if I wanted to, destroying your Blessed Lands and Caves would be very easy?”
“Chief Ji, we don’t have that many schemes in mind; we simply wished to discuss matters with you,” said the middle-aged men, suddenly feeling their eagerness to negotiate with Ji Yang was a bit reckless.
