The Military Department!
It was actually initiated by the Military Department!
After learning this news, for some reason, Ye Ming felt that the recent events were inextricably linked to what he had been doing behind this split.
"Not only that! It was also proposed by the Military Department to let the Ancient Martial Artist Association appear so conspicuously in the public eye. Therefore, the current split situation has been caused," Qi Baigong said in a deep voice.
It seemed that the disagreement between the military and the political factions had led to the two factions. Judging by the final outcome, the military clearly held the dominant position.
This way, things were likely to become more and more complicated.
"This is all the intelligence I currently possess!"
Qi Baigong told him everything he knew.
As for whether he was hiding anything, it was unknown.
"Thank you, old man, for telling me!"
Ye Ming clasped his hands.
Through Qi Baigong's words, Ye Ming still gained a lot of useful information.
"Alright! You still have one last question to ask?" Qi Baigong looked at Ye Ming, his expression somewhat complicated.
He didn't know if telling these things to the young man in front of him was good or bad.
But he also had his own subtle thoughts.
The current situation was like a foggy swamp, making it impossible to see the direction of the road ahead.
Therefore, he hoped for someone who could break the deadlock.
And he was willing to take a gamble on the young man in front of him.
"Old man! I've already gotten the information I wanted! As for the remaining question, if we meet again by fate, it won't be too late for me to ask!" Ye Ming said with a smile.
"Good!"
Qi Baigong nodded, then looked at Nan Gong Qianyu, and once again showed a kind smile, saying, "Girl! If you want to eat the food I cook, come find me anytime!"
A simple sentence was enough to show Qi Baigong's affection for Nan Gong Qianyu.
After all, this was the "God of Cooking"!
Such treatment was probably not even enjoyed by the current President.
"Okay!"
Nan Gong Qianyu also felt very close to the old man in front of her.
"Old man! Take care of yourself!"
Then, Ye Ming and Nan Gong Qianyu left Wangfeng Inn.
As soon as they left, a man came to Qi Baigong's side and said respectfully, "Old man! A letter has arrived from the Presidential Palace!"
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, Qi Baigong's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Speak!"
"The President said he will be meeting a very important guest tomorrow and hopes you can return!"
Return for what?
Naturally, to host them warmly!
"Good! I understand!"
At this moment, Qi Baigong walked to the window, looking at the two young figures on the street, and murmured to himself.
"Ye Ming! What role do you play in this game?"
...
When Ye Ming and Nan Gong Qianyu returned to Minghai, night had already fallen.
Outside the villa, another unwelcome guest had arrived.
At the first moment, Du Li Sha inside the house noticed the other party's presence.
"Jun Xue! I'm going out for a bit!"
Du Li Sha said with a light smile.
"Sister Du Li Sha, what are you going to do?" Xiao Ai Yin, held in Fang Jun Xue's arms, asked crisply.
"Didn't Xiao Ai Yin just say she wanted to eat donuts? Sister Du Li Sha will buy them for you, okay!"
Donuts!
At these three words, Xiao Ai Yin's eyes lit up.
"Yes! Okay! Du Li Sha is the best!"
*Peck!*
Xiao Ai Yin gave Du Li Sha a kiss, very happy.
Just such a kiss, Du Li Sha suddenly felt a jolt, like an electric shock.
It was very strange!
"Xiao Ai Yin is so well-behaved!"
After speaking, Du Li Sha left.
"Be careful!"
Fang Jun Xue's voice came from behind.
Now that she was also an immortal cultivator, she could naturally sense some unusual auras.
Outside the villa, as soon as Du Li Sha came out, she saw a woman holding a long sword.
The woman's features were very delicate. Judging from her appearance, she should be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and about 1.7 meters tall. Coupled with a black stealth suit, it added a touch of mystery to her.
Her figure was also perfect, with every line tight and full. Especially her slender waist, it seemed that with a gentle grip of her hands, she could control it.
In addition, on her earlobes, a pair of lotus-shaped earrings were particularly dazzling. Their presence made this woman appear more dignified and elegant.
"Hand over the sword!"
Chu Zhen's eyes were filled with a cold intent.
That's right!
She was one of the seven star supervisors of the Ancient Martial Artist Association—the Yu Heng supervisor.
Chu Zhen!
It seemed her purpose was to retrieve Xie Wuling's sword.
Upon hearing Chu Zhen's words, Du Li Sha also understood the identity of the visitor.
"If you want the sword! You can! But..."
Du Li Sha said with a light smile, "But my young master said that he will come to get it himself!"
Let Xie Wuling come to get the sword himself.
"You're seeking death!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhen's body instantly exuded a cold killing intent.
"Yo! I'm so scared!"
Du Li Sha waved her jade-like hand, and the Qi of All Things within her flowed along her arm into her palm. In an instant, it condensed into a golden short blade.
Chu Zhen did not feel as strong as Xie Wuling.
So, why should she be afraid?
"Since you won't give it! Then I will take it back myself!"
Chu Zhen's expression condensed. With a slight movement, her figure turned into a stream of light and attacked Du Li Sha.
*Swish!*
A flash of white light appeared, and Chu Zhen's long sword was unsheathed. Fierce sword energy coiled around the sword, and she slashed out fiercely.
Wherever it passed, it left a hideous sword mark.
Seeing this, Du Li Sha did not retreat but advanced. She thrust out her short blade, and countless Qi of All Things converged at the tip of the blade, directly meeting the sword energy that Chu Zhen had unleashed.
The moment the two clashed, it seemed as if the enveloping night had been torn open. The scattered energy forced both sides to retreat two steps.
Neither side had the upper hand!
"Again!"
Before Chu Zhen could make a move, Du Li Sha took the initiative to attack. She condensed another golden short blade, her hands flying. Each attack was continuous, giving Chu Zhen no chance to counterattack.
But as a seven star supervisor, Chu Zhen, while being suppressed by Du Li Sha's attacks, could still cope calmly and did not lose her composure.
"Slash!"
A fierce look flashed in Chu Zhen's eyes. She suddenly retreated, and then a sword light appeared before Du Li Sha.
There was no chance to dodge.
"Annihilate!"
Just as the sword light was about to hit, a dazzling golden light shot out from the center of Du Li Sha's brow, striking directly at the sword energy that Chu Zhen had unleashed.
When that sharp sword energy touched that golden light, it instantly began to dissipate, as if being purified.
Not a trace was left behind.
Not only that, but after the golden light canceled out the sword energy, it did not disappear. Instead, it flew back into Du Li Sha's palm.
"What is that?"
Chu Zhen looked at Du Li Sha's golden light, her eyes filled with solemnity.
It was so terrifying.
But she could feel that it was likely condensed from some kind of energy.
"That is the Source of All Things!"
At this moment, someone suddenly answered her confusion.
However, it was a man's voice.
