Chapter 438 Traitor
Cheng Feng's call caused the Nine Deaths Shocking Armor to emerge from its dormant state and begin to fully recover.
Numerous slender branches with sharp bronze barbs burst forth from the ground.
In a short time, it covered the entire back wall.
At this moment, Cheng Feng and Yang Xueli were surprised to find that even where they were standing, the area below them had been occupied by the Nine Deaths Shocking Tomb Armor.
It simply avoided the two people's location, but the other open spaces now resembled a hellish inferno.
A weapon, a mixture of flesh and bronze, burst through the ground and danced around the two men.
"Its growth rate is too fast. We've only been gone for a short time. In a few years, the entire courtyard might be shrouded in the Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor."
Looking at the blood and flesh bronze covered in barbs, Yang Xueli couldn't help but sigh.
Cheng Feng was quite satisfied with this.
"Wouldn't that be perfect? As far as I know, there are only two places in history that can be protected by the Nine Deaths Terrifying Tomb Armor."
The first is the tomb of Emperor Wu of Han, which is said to be guarded by armor that could kill nine men. The second is the tomb of the King of Nanyue.
We're now being treated the same as these two emperors.
Cheng Feng's words made Yang Xueli roll her eyes. Everyone else uses the Nine Deaths Terrifying Tomb Armor to protect their tombs, but our family uses it to protect the courtyard!
At this moment, the numerous bronze tentacles resembling a spider web gradually separated in front of Cheng Feng.
This unusual action immediately caught the attention of the two of them.
Soon, three pale green bronze whiskers covered with barbs, each with a corpse attached, were slowly brought to Cheng Feng's front.
"this is?"
Yang Xueli looked puzzled.
Cheng Feng shook his head as well; he didn't recall feeding the Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor human corpses.
"Xiao Jia, what's going on with this corpse?"
Since I have no recollection of it, to figure out exactly what happened, I naturally need to ask the person involved, A.
Everything produced by the cleanup system is of high quality. The normal Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor is a ferocious plant that hunts by instinct.
But the guy Cheng Feng named Xiao Jia was surprisingly intelligent.
It then sprouted a slender, long whisker, which quickly drew several simple patterns on the ground.
The two looked down and saw a stick figure that had climbed over the wall into the yard. Just as it was about to walk toward the villa, a line crossed it.
"Looks like someone's been up to no good while we were gone!"
The simple and clear art style illustrates one point: someone is attempting to break into Cheng Feng's residence.
"It's very unlikely that an outsider could have infiltrated our base. This person is very likely a disciple of the Unloading Ridge sect."
If you're a complete stranger, it's absolutely a pipe dream to sneak into this villa without anyone noticing.
Only the disciples of the Unloading Ridge sect who were originally stationed in the base had a slight chance.
"Leave this matter to Ah Xiang. Let her use all her resources to find out which side planted this person."
Cheng Feng then instructed the Nine Deaths Shocking Armor to place the corpse on an open ground to the side.
Yang Xueli then turned around and went back to the villa to inform Ah Xiang.
Cheng Feng, of course, did not forget the purpose of his visit. He retrieved a large number of remains of the ancient zombies from the Corpse Banquet from the Imaginary Space.
The Nine Deaths Terrifying Armored Beast accepted all comers without hesitation, using its long, barbed whiskers to drag them all into the ground.
It becomes the nourishment for its growth.
"Xiao Jia, be careful when you're developing, don't damage the warehouse under the villa!"
While Cheng Feng was instructing the Nine Deaths Shocking Tomb Armor not to accidentally damage anything in the house,
Ah Xiang was on the phone with a cold expression, making calls to several leaders in charge of specific affairs at the base.
Upon receiving the call, the group reacted as if their pants were on fire, and within minutes they each drove to the yard.
After getting out of the car, I quickly ran across the yard and arrived at the villa.
Ah Xiang didn't scold them; she simply explained the situation and led them to the backyard.
At this time, the Nine Deaths Shocking Tomb Armor had returned to the underground, leaving only a corpse and seemingly messy bronze artifacts.
After identification, one of the leaders quickly recognized the relatively well-preserved corpse.
“Young Miss, this man is my subordinate. He is in charge of moving things in warehouse number 49.”
After the leader spoke, the others silently breathed a sigh of relief. Once you're involved in something like this, you can't escape responsibility.
The best-case scenario is that the person is simply someone who misjudges people.
"Within three days, I need to know this person's purpose and who is behind him."
Ah Xiang's tone was calm, and everyone present understood that the calmer she was, the less room there was for negotiation.
"Don't worry, young lady, there will be results within three days."
Those who become leaders within the base have all had their identities personally verified by Cheng Feng, and there will be no problems whatsoever.
With Cheng Feng's endorsement, Ah Xiang felt so comfortable entrusting the matter to them.
"I will have the intelligence team fully cooperate in handling this matter. I hope you understand that my elder brother is very concerned about this."
Don't let him down.
After giving a final, sharp remark, Ah Xiang turned and left.
Two days later, in the evening, Ah Xiang walked into the living room with a neatly organized document.
He then handed it to Cheng Feng, who was drinking tea.
"Brother, the matter has been investigated and clarified."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Cheng Feng nodded to Ah Xiang and opened the document.
Sitting next to Cheng Feng, Ah Xiang poured herself a cup of tea and quietly looked at Cheng Feng's profile.
Soon, Cheng Feng closed the file after memorizing all the information on it.
The Xieling disciple who was killed by the Nine Deaths Shocking Armor was a fourth-generation disciple.
The initial thirty elites were the first generation, meaning that this person was a disciple of a disciple of a disciple.
She is just nineteen years old this year. Five years ago, when she was around fourteen, she was adopted from an orphanage and placed in the training program of the Xieling School.
His identity was verified by multiple parties at the time, and there were no flaws.
Through the thorough investigation by the Xieling intelligence department over the past few days, a flaw has been discovered.
"Brother, this family has a special background. They include high-ranking officials and powerful business executives, and the power dynamics behind their marriage alliances are incredibly complex."
Their family's patriarch lived to be 103 years old; perhaps it was because his time was nearing its end that this nail surfaced.
Ah Xiang put down her teacup and revealed the situation behind the traitor.
This family can be said to be entirely supported by this 103-year-old man. Every extra day he can live is a tremendous benefit to the family.
Cheng Feng thought for a moment, then spoke:
"Ah Xiang, what do you think we should do about this?"
Upon hearing this, Ah Xiang became more serious. She understood that this was Cheng Feng testing her.
"Brother, I think we can use the network of connections within the Unloading Ridge faction to remove a few of their key figures from their positions."
In families like theirs, if a power vacuum occurs, they will quickly be lost in the crowd.
Cheng Feng nodded noncommittally.
Ah Xiang's idea is correct. Cheng Feng is now like a nuclear bomb, and we can't just throw a nuclear bomb at every little thing.
However, without Cheng Feng's intervention, it won't be easy for the Unloading Ridge forces to achieve their goals.
Because that one who's over a hundred years old is still alive.
"Let's do as you say. We can use this to test the attitudes of all parties."
