Chapter 315

Chapter 315: Chapter 314 "Ye Tianchen!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"So it’s you. My name is Luo Weike, an agent stationed at the border. I’ve been waiting here for you!" The roughly forty-year-old beggar also said with a smile.

Luo Weike, a top Chinese agent, had always been active along the border. This time, he’d received news that more than twenty special forces soldiers had disappeared overnight at the border, and among them was a national scientific researcher, an unparalleled talent for the nation. Thus, the nation took the situation very seriously. After Elder Yang got the news, he immediately notified the agents at the border to start their operations. While they were searching for the whereabouts of Han Jie and other missing personnel, they were also waiting for Ye Tianchen and Cang Lang to arrive.

When Cang Lang and Ye Tianchen were approaching, Luo Weike had already noticed them. However, at that time he wasn’t sure whether Ye Tianchen and Cang Lang were the powerful agents sent by the country. All this time, Luo Weike had been disguised as a beggar next to the "Sleepless" bar, pretending to beg, because a small town isn’t very big, and such a brightly-lit place is where most information converges.

Sure enough, after seeing Ye Tianchen enter the bar and eventually being extorted by a group of ruffians, then witnessing Ye Tianchen intervene with just his physical strength, without even using Superpower Skills, Luo Weike got a fright and thought that the agents the country had sent this time were indeed powerful.

"Is it me? You know me? I don’t seem to know you!" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"Heh, the Third-class Ye family of Capital City, Young Master Sun Ye Tianchen, once the laughingstock of the entire city. Since returning to the city from the military, what deed of yours hasn’t shaken both the underworld and law enforcement? As a top agent for the nation, we would be unprofessional if we weren’t aware of such explosive news!" Luo Weike said with a laugh.

"Since that is the case, let’s cut to the chase. I want to know everything you have understood so far, and I hope you can tell me everything without omitting a single word. You must understand that this time, Han Jie and twenty elite special soldiers are in considerable danger, maybe they have already been killed!" Ye Tianchen nodded as he spoke.

This time, the sudden disappearance of more than twenty fully armed elite special soldiers, including Han Jie, shook the entire nation of China. The senior leaders paid close attention to it, as this was the biggest incident occurring at the border in recent years. It is recognized that our Chinese nation has been becoming increasingly powerful. In the end, it is those foreign species that covet us and want to invade but dare not do so rashly. Therefore, they will try all means to undermine China. The news about the disappearance of more than twenty elite special soldiers, if it involves interference from a major power, then the incident could escalate into a major international issue, potentially leading to warfare between two major nations.

"Based on my investigation, I sense that this incident seems premeditated, as though someone is orchestrating it with the purpose of killing our special forces at the border. This is beyond the scope of a regular smuggling organization; it’s very likely that some country is secretly operating behind the scenes!" Luo Weike no longer minced his words and spoke directly.

Although Ye Tianchen wasn’t an Earthling, having been reborn here not long ago, he had a strong adaptation ability and had come to understand that the struggles between nations never cease. On the surface, they maintain a peaceful facade to avoid war, especially between major powers, where war would result in mutual devastation. So, they only engage in covert conflicts. These struggles are not to be underestimated, as they can lead to the gradual decline of a nation. By the time you’re weak enough for them to devour, it’s game over.

If this incident truly involves a major power aiming to take advantage of the situation against China, then the significance is profound. Moreover, if the twenty elite special soldiers, along with Han Jie, were all killed at the border, it would be very detrimental to China’s international influence.

"A premeditated event? I think ordinary organizations can’t pull this off; there must be the support of a certain country behind it!" Ye Tianchen mused aloud.

It is shocking to think that someone could lure twenty elite special soldiers into a trap and within such a short period, make them all disappear without leaving a trace. If someone could kill all twenty elite special soldiers, it would be fearsome enough to demand respect. But to make them vanish soundlessly and tracelessly is simply astonishing and unimaginable.

So, after analysis, it is evident that behind this incident, whether it’s some organization or a country, there is at least one major power providing support; otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve such a degree of prowess.

"After my investigation, I suspect Japan!" Luo Weike looked at Ye Tianchen and said somberly.

"Japan? The little devils aren’t that capable and bold, right? They’ve been suppressed by our China all these years. Are they thinking of starting a war again?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask doubtfully, since he wasn’t a native of Earth and only had a general understanding of these matters.

"Let me put it this way, over the years, Japan has harbored unrelenting intentions to invade our China. As China has grown stronger, Japan does not dare to act rashly and can only engage in petty theft and sneaky activities. This time, when I infiltrated Black Mist Forest, although I didn’t find any trace of the disappeared people, I still discovered some clues!" Luo Weike said in a grave tone.

"Discovered some clues?" Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow in inquiry.

Luo Weike nodded, walked over to a nearby uneven rock and turned it over, gesturing for Ye Tianchen to take a look. When Ye Tianchen saw it, he couldn’t help but frown as well. There was a long, deep slash on the rock, which was quite unusual. It was not caused by an actual blade cutting into it but seemed to be the result of Sword Energy, an extremely powerful burst of it. Moreover, when Ye Tianchen extended his Superpower Perception, he felt as if the Sword Energy was about to burst forth and strike him again.

"This is..." Ye Tianchen felt the Sword Energy was somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had experienced it before. Regardless, he had a high regard for the slash. Whoever delivered the strike was certainly strong, extraordinarily so.

"The ancient Blade Skill of Japan, from the Beichen Blade School!" Luo Weike declared earnestly.

At the mention of the Beichen Blade School, Ye Tianchen suddenly remembered. That day, in the compound of Zhang Yide from the Zhang family, he had risked his life to save Murong Xin, almost falling victim to poison. It was then that Guitian Yilang from the Beichen Blade School attacked, aiming to kill Murong Yudou. Tianchen fought with Guitian Yilang and had to admit that the Beichen Blade Skill was very elusive, difficult to predict. Even with the full extent of his strength at the Peak of King-level Superpower Realm, their battle ended in a draw, and Guitian Yilang left briskly. It was clear that Guitian Yilang was not the strongest in the Beichen Blade School, a power not to be underestimated, akin to an Ancient Martial Sect in Japan. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"The Blade Skill of the Beichen Blade School, not only elusive but also extremely deadly, certainly is powerful!" Ye Tianchen gravely commented.

"Not only rocks have been sliced by this Sword Energy at the scene, but also some large trees that couldn’t be encircled by embracing arms, have been cleanly cleaved in half. At the cut, a hint of blood-red was visible. More importantly, I sensed a chilling atmosphere at the scene, as if some scenario was replaying itself!" Luo Weike said, shuddering uncontrollably.

Ye Tianchen nodded, understanding what Luo Weike was referring to. The strongest technique of the Beichen Blade School was its Illusion Blade Skill, known for its unpredictability and the illusions it could produce, making one feel as if they were in the Nine Netherworld Hell, consumed by fear and unable to distinguish between illusion and reality, making them easy targets.

"In that case, let’s head to Black Mist Forest now. It seems this incident was orchestrated by those Japanese devils, and there must be a top expert from the Beichen Blade School involved. No wonder they managed to make over twenty fully armed Elite Special Soldiers vanish in an instant!" Ye Tianchen declared.

"Now?" Luo Weike was taken aback. It was past nine o’clock at night, and heading to Black Mist Forest at this time, they probably wouldn’t find anyone, right?

"Exactly!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile, turning to leave for the nearby hostel. For such a mission, he definitely needed to bring along Cang Lang. With him, Cang Lang, and Luo Weike, three great masters should be more than capable of handling these people. He only hoped that the twenty Elite Special Soldiers and Han Jie were still alive.

"But it’s past nine o’clock at night. We’re heading to Black Mist Forest? What could we possibly find?" Luo Weike couldn’t help but express his doubt.

"Think about it. At this hour in Black Mist Forest, how would those Japanese devils who captured our people react? They definitely wouldn’t expect us to search for them overnight. Since they weren’t found during the day, who would find them at night? Plus, night-time is when people lower their guard the most!" Ye Tianchen explained with a smile.

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Luo Weike was taken aback. He hadn’t expected such a young man to possess such a delicate and clever mind. It really took him by surprise.

"I think for your age, you seem quite mature!" Luo Weike couldn’t help but say to Ye Tianchen. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
