182: What wind brings you here?

Meanwhile, inside the County Government Building, Geng Rutai, Geng Yun, Bai Pu, Bai Shan, He Hao, Qi Da, Tong Jingshan, Qi Huaiyi, Li Gui, and others were gathered. Among them, the brothers Bai Pu and Bai Shan, as well as the two Artifact Refiners He Hao and Qi Da, had all been invited by Geng Yun to assist. As famous Martial Masters in Fengyang City, the four of them naturally felt it was their duty. To keep the operation secret, Geng Yun had not invited Martial Masters from the four major families, as these people all had Family members in the middle school representative teams; one careless slip could lead to an information leak!

After listening to Tong Jingshan relay the words of the mysterious person, everyone's expressions shook, and they felt a faint sense of unease!

Even Qi Huaiyi could no longer sit still and spoke up: "So, they have prepared three moves. First is attacking the five exotic beast rearing bases to pin down the government's forces; this move seems to have been overcome by us for now. The second move is that they have transferred a Middle Stage Martial Ancestor from Shadow Moon Hall named Cold Moon, who poses a massive threat. The third move is that they have also brought in Mystic Cannons and Xuan Guns, and the shells include Soul-Confusing Ammunition. If they are allowed to fire first, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Geng Rutai's expression remained somewhat calm. In his view, a mere Middle Stage Martial Ancestor was nothing before him, a Late Stage Martial General, but he couldn't take it too lightly either. After all, these cultists would stop at nothing when they fought. If he accidentally fell for some of her underhanded tricks, he might still suffer an unexpected defeat... However, those Mystic Cannons and Soul-Confusing Ammunition were a major problem. The government wasn't afraid of confronting the cult in the open, but they feared those dirty tricks. Many past losses were caused by such schemes, so they had to be extra cautious this time!

He stroked his beard and said, "Indeed, we must find the deployment locations of those Mystic Cannons. I have checked the situation at Qianlong Middle School; the surrounding forest is extremely dense, and there are many places where Mystic Cannons could be hidden. We must send more manpower to investigate to find any clues. However, as soon as we make a move, we are likely to alert these cultists, which is a thorny issue..."

At that moment, Tong Jingshan's phone vibrated a few times. He looked down, his expression shifting as he said, "The mysterious person has sent another message!"

"Oh? Speak quickly!" Geng Rutai's eyes lit up, and he spoke loudly. He had actually guessed that the mysterious person was likely Long Yuan himself, but he had no direct evidence to prove it, so he did not voice this suspicion in front of the group.

Tong Jingshan said, "The mysterious person just received information that Blood Wolf Hall has transferred a Branch Master and two Deputy Branch Masters from Nanming, along with a group of subordinates. Specific details are unknown! It is estimated that they value this batch of drug-testing tools extremely highly..."

"What?!!!" Everyone's faces changed upon hearing this!

They hadn't expected Blood Wolf Hall to keep increasing their stakes, showing a posture of never giving up until they captured the drug-testing tools!

Geng Rutai pondered for a moment, then looked at Qi Huaiyi and said, "Xiao Qi, do you know anything about Blood Wolf Hall's Branch Master and Deputy Branch Masters from Nanming?"

Qi Huaiyi thought it over and said, "Nanming is a secondary branch for them. The Branch Master's cultivation Realm should be at the Middle or Late Stage Martial Ancestor level, and the Deputy Branch Masters should be at the Early Stage Martial Ancestor level. However, I've heard that Advanced Evil Cultists all have a Berserk Skill. Once they go Berserk, their cultivation Realm can surge in a short period, increasing by one to several minor levels, though it can't be maintained for very long!"

"This..." The people seated all looked pale, clearly shaken... Cultists at the Martial Ancestor Realm were naturally high-ranking members of their cult, so it was normal for them to have Berserk Skills. Could Geng Rutai withstand three individuals who had activated their Berserk Skills?

One must know that he had the highest cultivation Realm here. Everyone was naturally counting on him to wipe out the enemy's high-end combat power, so they all looked at Geng Rutai with expectant gazes... A flash of embarrassment crossed Geng Rutai's face. He certainly knew about these Berserk Skills in the cult, but he had never actually faced a Berserk cultist head-on, so he didn't have much confidence in his heart. However, he couldn't show weakness in front of everyone, otherwise his reputation would surely suffer, and this trip to Fengyang would have been in vain!

He coughed a few times and said, "I will keep the three of them pinned down! You just need to eliminate the other Evil Cultists as quickly as possible and then come to assist me!"

"Senior is mighty!!!" everyone shouted excitedly, each of them breathing a sigh of relief.

Qi Huaiyi, however, said, "Be that as it may, they are hidden in the shadows and won't necessarily be together. If they scatter, any one of them will pose a massive threat to the rest of us. Therefore, everyone must be cautious; it's best to move in groups of several people!"

"That makes sense!" Everyone realized this upon hearing it. Moving in teams was an extremely feasible plan for now. The people present quickly divided themselves into groups, and in a short while, ten small teams were formed.

"Everyone, the mysterious person has more new information!" Tong Jingshan suddenly said excitedly.

"Speak quickly!" Geng Rutai and Qi Huaiyi shouted simultaneously.

"Two Elders from the Shuntian Prefecture Xu Family have just arrived at Fengyang Airport! They are the Xu Family's Third Elder Xu Guanghu and Sixth Elder Xu Guanghai. The mysterious person suggests we go find them immediately. With them joining us, tomorrow's operation can be guaranteed to be foolproof!" Tong Jingshan said loudly.

"Heavens!"

"Two Martial General lords!"

"It's actually them?! Quickly, go find them..." Geng Rutai's eyes flashed as he spoke urgently to Geng Yun.

These were top-tier experts arriving right at their doorstep. With them around, they wouldn't have to fear no matter what tricks the cultists pulled!

Geng Yun leaped up and immediately contacted the airport staff. After receiving their confirmation, he told them to make sure to keep the Xu Family members there, saying he would personally go to receive them... The gathering ended abruptly like this, and everyone boarded the county office vehicles and rushed to Fengyang Airport to pick them up... Xu Guanghu and Xu Guanghai had not expected to be recognized as soon as they arrived at Fengyang Airport. Moreover, hearing that the Geng Family's Grand Elder Geng Rutai was coming to personally welcome them left them a bit dazed. What exactly was going on?

Had those airport staff members all become master cultivators? How could they identify them as members of the Xu Family based solely on their names?

Regardless of whether they believed it or not, about twenty minutes later, a motorcade came whistling into the airport. The person who stepped out of the car was none other than their acquaintance, Geng Rutai!

"Hahaha, long time no see! What fair wind blew you all here today?" Geng Rutai stroked his short beard and laughed heartily.

Xu Guanghu was a lean old man with a goatee. A glint like that of an old fox sparkled in his eyes as he smiled and said, "Brother Geng, instead of enjoying your blessings in Yingtian Prefecture, you've run off to this place as well!"
