How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 399: Left Envoy of the Divine Temple

Tore’s heart skipped a beat: "General, I didn’t mean to hide it from you, it’s just that his identity is of great importance, and I didn’t want to reveal it too early..."

Ge peng waved his hand sharply: "It’s not that you didn’t mean to hide it from me, it’s that you simply can’t hide it from me! I have long known he’s the former General Leader Seven Steps of the Nine Headed Snake in the Daxia District!"

The crowd erupted in an uproar.

A chill ran down Tore’s back.

Ge peng said: "I just want to remind you that within Menghu, you can fully showcase your talents and recruit talents from all sides, but, never be too clever."

"Yes!"

Ge peng continued: "The Divine Temple has a motive to be involved, but we can’t decide the nature of this matter based solely on one or two pieces of evidence. Tomorrow, you will take a few people to the temple and find out everything!"

"Yes!" Tore bowed to accept the order.

Ge peng slowly stood up and went back to his room.

Everyone stood up in unison and respectfully saw him off...

The same night, later in the night...

Sangmu Temple, the ancient temple stood atop the mountain peak.

In the daytime, the temple seemed particularly sacred.

However, at night, it appeared somewhat sinister.

In the old temple, in a room near an ancient tree, the coolness of the day turned into the chill of the night.

By the window, under the slightly dim lamplight, two people were playing a game of chess.

On the left, a middle-aged man in white was playing white.

On the right, a middle-aged man in black was playing black.

On the board, the white stones had the advantage.

The man in black held a chess piece and pondered for a long time, then suddenly, he raised his gaze and stared outside the window...

The two men were both of Asian descent.

Outside the window, as the wind slightly stirred, an elder seemed to appear out of nowhere, bowing behind the man in white: "Left Envoy, something serious has happened."

The man in white slightly furrowed his brows: "Serious?"

"Yes! News just arrived, Lewis from the Menghu Army was abducted, they have already crossed the border and returned to Daxia Country."

The Left Envoy trembled slightly: "Qianlong acted? And with a lightning strike, succeeded directly?"

"Yes!"

"The Qianlong rallied no suspicion!"

"At least our infiltrated point had no contact with anyone from the headquarters!"

"They infiltrated the military camp, the Menghu Army knew nothing until the very last moment?"

"You foresaw it, Left Envoy, indeed so, this person disguised as Lewis’s subordinate, approached Lewis, took him down with one move, then broke through the window, with an outside vehicle coordinating, the entire process wasted not a single second."

The Left Envoy’s eyes sparkled: "And then?"

"Then, they blasted all the air defense systems, destroyed the aircraft, cut off tracking, then broke through to the Northwest."

"The Northwest is where Durta’s most elite Desert Eagle is stationed, equipped with the most advanced M505 air defense system, how did they evade the system’s lock?"

The elder said: "That’s the most baffling part, within the Desert Eagle army, our insiders report that surveillance footage shows our Li Tian Clan members attacked the outpost, cutting off the air defense system lines, killing everyone at the outpost, and leaving the scene with Earth Falling Beast Scale, which was used to kill."

The face of the man in black opposite the Left Envoy changed dramatically: "A setup?"

"It’s a setup, one hundred percent!" the elder said: "I just met with the elder, the elder did not send out this team, nor did we, it’s evidently a setup."

"How is Menghu reacting?" the man in black asked.

"Menghu sent a message, people will come tomorrow to investigate this matter," the elder said: "I ventured to see you in the middle of the night, Left Envoy, to ask how to deal with this tomorrow?"

The man in black said: "Truth cannot be hidden, lies will not stand, setups always leave traces, even if they maliciously alter the video, it can be restored; do we really fear their investigation?"

The Left Envoy gently raised his hand!

The man in black’s voice abruptly stopped, the elder bowed even lower.

The Left Envoy slowly stood, walked to the window: "Breaking Qianlong convention, acting without alerting Qianlong’s local base; disguised and infiltrated, Menghu knew nothing; with one swift move, striking like lightning; precise calculations, leaving no flaws; even coordinating a setup afterward, inciting conflicts between two major forces... Who do you think he is?"

"Jing Lei?" the elder uttered two words.

"No! It’s not Jing Lei! This matter completely does not match Jing Lei’s style," the Left Envoy said: "In this world, there is only one person who matches... Lin Xiaosu, he has arrived!"

"Lin Xiaosu?" the man in black and the elder were both shocked: "Left Envoy, why are you so sure it must be Lin Xiaosu?"

The Left Envoy smiled lightly: "Disguise Technique, detailed in last year’s classified document H312; Martial Arts Cultivation, detailed in classified documents B654, 412, and this year’s 189; the habit of framing, detailed in last year’s classified document A952 and this year’s 514; the Earth Falling Beast Scale, detailed in last year’s classified document E387. Combined with the fact that the mission was executed by Qianlong and Chang Ye, it must be Lin Xiaosu, there is no other possibility!"

The elder raised his eyes and stared at the archive room behind him, his mind churning with waves.

All sorts of classified documents, all kinds of data, millions of them, the Left Envoy remembered them all, and could precisely correlate them, once aware of something, could find the answer in the data immediately.

No wonder he became the Left Envoy at such a young age.

The eyes of the man in black suddenly lifted: "Striking with one move, a lightning flash, achieving success and retreating, not trapped in the mud, does indeed fit his style, this kid..."

"Achieving success and retreating? Who says he retreated?" The Left Envoy’s eyes shot over, his gaze shimmering with a very unique expression.

"He... the Left Envoy means that he hasn’t withdrawn?"

"Of course he hasn’t withdrawn. Otherwise, why would he set up a scheme to frame someone?"

"A scheme to frame, as a measure to cover up the crime, is also quite common..." the man in black hesitated.

The Left Envoy smiled faintly, "A person who fears trouble would use framing to muddy the waters after committing a crime, using it as a way to cover up and avoid drawing trouble to themselves. But that’s a person who fears trouble! Qing Ru, tell me, is Lin Xiaosu a person who fears trouble?"

The man in black, named Qing Ru, gently shook his head, "He, clearly is not!"

The Left Envoy nodded slightly, "So, this framing is definitely not an aftercare measure; it’s merely his formal entry into the game, a signal to stir the waters in the Middle East!"

Not an aftercare!

Not the end, just the beginning!

The old man slowly straightened his back, "This scheme to frame, seeming clever, is actually quite forced. If he hopes to incite a battle between us and Menghu through this level of framing, that would be too naive."

The Left Envoy said, "His planning is whimsical. Even a plan that looks childish, if it’s crafted by him, there must be some brilliant use! For tomorrow’s meeting, set up an open area and let ’Shocking God’ be present!"

The old man was shocked, "The Left Envoy expects a military incident at tomorrow’s meeting?"

The Left Envoy replied lightly, "Last year, F-type classified document number 457 recorded the Zezhuo Island incident in Fusang Country. You might want to take a look."

The Zezhuo Island incident, which had nothing to do with them, was classified as F-type, indicating it was unimportant, but even this was noticed by the Left Envoy.

The Left Envoy weaves connections everywhere, playing a strategic game in the Middle East. Any type of event, he seems able to keep an eye on it...

This, perhaps, is the difference between people.

The old man entered the document room at the back and reviewed F-type classified document number 457. His eyes lit up, "Disguising oneself as someone from the opposing camp, using the opportunity of a meeting to incite a melee between both sides, further tearing apart the conflict — it’s truly a brilliant move. But alas, he is ultimately too young to have anticipated that there is also a Left Envoy in the temple."

The man in black, Qing Ru, also had a bright shine in his eyes, "If he really repeats his old trick, then tomorrow’s meeting will be the true death trap for him!"

The Left Envoy smiled slightly, "Ordinarily, he wouldn’t take such a risk, but being in the Middle East, he essentially has no cards to play. He might indeed be relying on his superior martial and intellectual prowess to take a risky chance."

The next day.

Seven military vehicles sped through the valley, through the town full of gray and green, heading to the southwest.

The southwest was known as Dusha Town.

In the chaos of the Middle East, everywhere was filled with gunfire, and ordinary people planting fields could dig up landmines at any moment. People with missing arms and legs were seen everywhere, but in Dusha Town, it was relatively peaceful.

Because there was a temple there.

A temple, not an object of faith for the major Middle Eastern sects.

The church is what it is.

However, in this realm, it’s a bit different.

The temple truly provides some form of safety to the residents.

Because everyone in the temple is exceptional, with them living here, the major armed groups dare not easily enter, making it relatively safe.

Of course, only relatively...

Seeing the seven military vehicles speed by, fear still flickered in the eyes of the people.

A few men pulled their wives and quickly returned to their so-called rooms that couldn’t keep out the wind or rain.

Only one man was a bit different; he looked thoughtfully at the dust raised by the passing military vehicles.

Judging by appearance alone, he was no different from the locals — weathered face, grimy skin, a tattered headscarf tied on his head.

He was Lin Xiaosu.

When in Rome, he adapted.

The pieces on the chessboard, he had laid them down.

No one knew where the piece he placed on the board was aimed, not even himself, because everything changes in an instant. The most adept wisdom always changes with the times, changes with the situation...

Seven military vehicles; Menghu Army’s second-in-command, Tore, led them.

Excellent!

He’s the one!

The military vehicles zoomed down the main road, stirring up dust.

As the military vehicles sped through the front valley, countless people on either side looked up.

This valley was the settlement area for the Li Tian Clan.

There were as many as a thousand people.

Outside, Li Tian Clan members were very few, but in this valley, they were the masters.

Seeing the military vehicles coming, they weren’t panicking either. A few young men even flipped over like falling leaves to land softly on tall rocks, using cold eyes to stare at the high-ranking officers in the Menghu military vehicles.

That kind of gaze gave great pressure to those in the military vehicles.

In the second military vehicle, Colonel Tore’s face was extremely serious.

Next to him, a lieutenant colonel whispered a sentence, "Colonel, if they really..."

"Don’t worry!" Tore interrupted him, "The missiles are already activated, the target locked. Seeing that mixed in with the Menghu troops, they’d certainly not dare to act rashly!"
