The azure sky was cut through by the flying car.
More and more high-rise buildings appeared in the bustling city, and Chen Feng, standing by the window, saw many corporate buildings fully renovated.
[Black Crystal Group, Superman Group, Sky Shield Heavy Industry, Jade Biotechnology....]
Familiar large enterprises, as well as unfamiliar conglomerate companies.
The secret realm event of Suluo had clearly come to an end, but Nanjiang’s investment promotion was still ongoing, and these large, renowned Chi Country groups were continuing to build branch buildings.
"What is it really for?"
Chen Feng always felt that Nanjiang’s investment promotion plan was not simple, after all, this was just an ordinary prefectural-level city.
Except for its proximity to the Luo River and nearby Suluo, there’s nothing particularly outstanding about it.
And these large groups, without sufficient interest, how could they possibly come here and make such a big commotion.
Moreover, Sky Shipping, which has some indirect conflict with himself, is also planning to open a branch in Nanjiang, which is very strange no matter how you look at it.
"Perhaps, once I go to the United Council, I can get some answers."
Chen Feng thought, then withdrew his gaze.
The gains from this trip to the Realm of the Dead were decent, aside from the growth in talent, his mental injuries had fully recovered.
If he were to stay on Earth Star for a night, he might not have had such good results.
"Protect them, and inform me after finding Bernard’s fleet."
Chen Feng instructed Jia Ta again within the Soul Fire. He had already arranged this matter with Lei Long.
After all, they are Fourth-Order Sequencers. If they are hiding on Hurricane Island and haven’t gone out to sea, Ley Long might not necessarily be able to handle it.
In the end, he might need to take action himself.
"Once it’s over, I can try to recruit a few Fourth-Rank or Fifth-Rank subordinates."
"And maybe even train some other crew members in martial arts...."
Numerous ideas came to Chen Feng’s mind, especially when he thought about the key martial arts insight he had discovered previously in Qinggang City.
To transcend, one must leave enough legends behind.
Yang Wudi plans to travel across Earth Star’s countries on the Eastern Continent, possibly having found some clues in this regard.
This indirectly validated Chen Feng’s idea; he thought that perhaps a Second-time Dream could also set him on this path.
Exhaling a breath of impure air, Chen Feng suppressed his extraneous thoughts again.
Pushing the door open, he walked out of the Quiet Room; many disciples in the Martial Arts Hall were already practicing boxing in a standing position.
Noticing his appearance, Cao Tong came over with breakfast as usual.
"I’ve eaten already," Cao Tong laughed lightly, and the two walked into the adjacent Quiet Room.
Chen Feng drank the meat porridge, feeling the warm currents flowing into his stomach.
During this time, he took the initiative to ask about recent matters concerning the school.
"Thanks to you, Chen, our school is now thriving."
"And with the martial arts exchange with Suluo, the news spread back home and made the words ’martial arts’ a recent viral topic on the internet."
"Heh heh, more people are learning martial arts now than before, and our school’s two new Martial Arts Halls are about to open. In a few days, we’ll have a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and everyone hopes you can come personally."
Cao Tong said with a smile, and also mentioned that the grandmasters from the Giant Elephant Sect and Whale Body Covering Sea School had sent invitations intending to join and celebrate during the opening days.
Chen Feng nodded, agreeing to it.
He knew the reasons behind the grandmasters coming to congratulate him, as their relationships were fairly good, not showing up would seem too aloof.
"And what about the Evil God Church?"
He asked another question, something he had always asked Cao Tong to keep an eye on.
The Abyss Evil God worshipped by the Evil God Church had some strong connection with the Black Tide, and it could also provide nourishment for the Second-time Dream, leaving him no room for negligence.
"Still no findings, but recently there have been some rumors near the border defense close to Suluo by the Luo River."
"Seems like there have been two disasters, possibly with some shadows of the Evil God Church involved."
Chen Feng was surprised at the news and asked a couple of questions.
He had spent most of his time focusing on the Dreaming Spree, not paying much attention to the outside world.
"Look, here’s the news."
Cao Tong took out his phone and opened it, showing news about a fire in a low residential building and an explosion incident at a factory.
"Some say they found Snake Spirit and Crow of the Dead symbols at the scene, suggesting they might be searching for sacrifices to perform some rituals to appease the Evil God."
"I’ve already contacted Tianhao Security to help investigate."
Cao Tong revealed his plan.
Chen Feng nodded, then looked at the addresses of the incidents.
Feeling a movement in his heart, the hidden little stone statue outside the Martial Arts Hall vibrated its Stone Wings and quietly left.
Outside the Martial Arts Hall, a flying device soared through the sky.
Outside the window, a tiny white dot on the ground quickly ascended and disappeared, the middle-aged man inside the cabin slightly frowned while retrieving the scan image.
But due to the angle, nothing was captured on the photo.
"What are you looking at?"
Also in the cabin was a black-haired woman who appeared to be in her thirties, dressed in a white combat uniform with blue stripes, and the shipping emblem quite prominent on her left chest.
She also wore dark VR goggles on her head, with several silver rings on her wrist, resembling a mechanical martial appearance.
"Nothing, probably just a mistake."
The middle-aged man shook his head, wearing a similar combat uniform but larger, filling it out fully.
The flying device landed outside the Martial Arts Hall, attracting curious gazes from passersby, although they were already accustomed to it.
"So this is Nanjiang, truly a backward little place."
The woman wearing the VR dark glasses said flatly, while the man beside her shook his head.
