Novel Full Chapter 349 - 281: Persuasion by Force
"Elder Zou."
Everyone bowed to Elder Zou.
Zou Limu walked steadily to Lin Lang’s side, slightly tilted his head, and said in a low voice:
"You don’t need to say more, let me handle this matter! Not even the King of Heaven can make trouble in my Special Agent Bureau!"
Lin Lang understood and nodded slightly, stepping back a few steps to stand aside.
Zou Limu turned his body, walked boldly in front of everyone, his eyes like torches, staring directly at the old Daoist without condescension, and asked:
"May I ask which master is visiting us?"
The old Daoist was full of arrogance, his nostrils slightly raised, and he snorted coldly:
"Hmph! I am Master Yunyang from the Golden Dragon Cave!"
Lin Lang’s eyes flashed as he glanced at Master Yunyang’s information:
[Master Yunyang]
[Combat Power: SS]
[Realm: Asking the Way]
SS-Class!
Indeed a master, no wonder he’s so arrogant!
What a pity!
In front of Lin Lang!
Beneath the gods, all are ants!
...
Zou Limu remained composed, cupped his hands in salute to Master Yunyang, and said:
"I’ve heard of your great reputation, Master. But I wonder why you suddenly broke into my Special Agent Bureau and attacked our members, killing people for no reason?"
Master Yunyang’s face darkened, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he said impatiently:
"This is a private vendetta between the Golden Dragon Cave and Lin Lang. These people, however, dare to obstruct me without knowing death, so don’t blame me for rudeness!"
So arrogant!
The crowd immediately started discussing!
While a little sycophant’s eyes rolled, secretly exchanging a meaningful glance with Wang Dahai.
Immediately after!
The little sycophant shouted out loudly:
"So all this trouble was caused by Lin Lang! If it weren’t for him, how would Captain Zhuo Yong have been seriously injured!"
Wang Dahai also echoed from the side:
"Exactly! Master Yunyang is a legendary cultivator! They are characters with great divine power, if we offend them, the whole Special Agent Bureau will suffer, and everyone will be doomed!"
Upon hearing this!
The crowd started whispering, their faces full of worry and unease.
Lin Lang appeared indifferent.
But Xina, beside him, couldn’t help it any longer, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and said loudly:
"Others have bullied us to our doorstep, and yet you still have the mind to bicker among yourselves, saying such sarcastic remarks!"
...
Zou Limu looked serious, looked at Master Yunyang again, and said slowly:
"In theory, we shouldn’t interfere too much in your private vendettas. But now that Lin Lang is an honored guest of the Special Agent Bureau, I, Zou Limu, cannot stand by and watch as you take him away unjustly."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
They looked at each other, secretly pondering—
Does Zou Limu mean to protect Lin Lang at all costs?
For an outsider like this, is it worth offending a powerful cultivator faction?
For a moment, the atmosphere on site became increasingly tense, as if a tense air was spreading through the air.
...
The old Daoist, hearing Zou Limu’s words, showed a hint of disdain and contempt in his eyes, sneered coldly as if enveloped by frost, and said:
"You think you can block my path? Just a bunch of ordinary mortals, hoping to stop a cultivator like me, you’re dreaming of stopping a cart with mantis arms?"
Zou Limu remained calm, not affected by the old Daoist’s arrogance, wearing a faint smile, and responded calmly:
"Master, we may not be extraordinary, but the Special Agent Bureau bears the responsibility of guarding a nation, it is the foundation of the country, and cannot be trampled upon. Today you broke into our bureau and injured our members, we cannot sit idle and ignore this."
As soon as the words fell!
Zou Limu’s aura suddenly changed, a powerful presence slowly released from his body!
His eyes became sharper, as if capable of seeing through everything!
His muscles slightly tense, exuding a feeling of latent power!
Clearly!
He had a certain degree of strength improvement compared to before.
Seeing this, Lin Lang discreetly checked Zou Limu’s detailed information—
[Zou Limu]
[Combat Power: SS] (Martial Arts Peak)
[Superpower: Inspiration (Level 1)]
Lin Lang understood—
The Martial Arts Breathing Technique he imparted to Zou Limu had greatly benefited him, consolidating and enhancing his strength further.
...
However!
Master Yunyang paid no heed to Zou Limu’s transformation, merely pouting with a face full of disdain, mockingly said:
"Martial Arts Peak Realm? In the mortal world perhaps, but in the face of a cultivator like me, it’s nothing."
"Even if you bring someone from the Legendary Martial Arts Realm, in my presence, they are just ants, I can crush them with a flick of my finger!"
At this tense moment!
Suddenly!
From deep within the Special Agent Bureau!
Came several extremely powerful presences.
These presences rolled in like turbulent waves, one after another, making people feel an intangible pressure!
Lin Lang, with keen perception, instantly captured the source of these presences, quickly activating his ability to check related information:
[Wei Tianxing]
[Combat Power: SS+] (Martial Arts Peak)
——
[Land Combat]
[Combat Power: SS-]
[Superpower: Divine Wood (Level 10); Divine Sense (Level 5)]
——
[Wang Feng]
[Combat Power: SSS] (Martial Arts Legend)
[Superpower: Spirit Battle (Level 9)]
...
Lin Lang’s heart slightly moved—
This Special Agent Bureau truly is the backbone of a nation’s force, it’s a place of hidden talents!
