Shen Lang finished speaking and slowly removed his mask, revealing his face.
The woman in white knew that Shen Lang did this to gain her complete trust.
"Shen Lang, I remember your name, and I remember you."
The woman in white looked at Shen Lang and said coldly, "If you deceive me afterward and fail to keep your promise, I will control countless birds to bloodbath Nanling and turn Nanling into a dead city."
As soon as she said this, Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief. At least, the woman in white had agreed.
"Miss, rest assured, I, Shen Lang, will do what I say. If I break my promise, may the heavens and earth destroy me."
Shen Lang patted his firm chest heavily and said.
"Humph—"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, the woman in white snorted, then brought her lips close to the flute's hole and blew gently.
Suddenly, a melodious flute sound, like heavenly music, arose.
As the flute sounded, the hundreds of thousands of birds in the sky instantly scattered. Except for a few thousand that flew to the ground and crouched motionlessly, the rest all left, flying into the forest.
Accompanied by chirping sounds, the world once again returned to peace.
In an instant, the pitch-black sky became bright again.
Seeing this, Gu Qinghan, Qin Long, and others were greatly shocked. They couldn't understand why the woman in white dispersed the birds after only a few words with Shen Lang.
"Thank you, Miss."
Seeing the woman in white disperse hundreds of thousands of birds in the sky, Shen Lang clasped his fists and said.
The woman in white heard this, her face still cold under the silk scarf, without any emotional fluctuation. She said lightly, "The thousands of birds on the ground have poison gas bombs implanted in their bodies. Once they violently collide with people or vehicles, they will explode. A single bird carrying a poison gas bomb can cause dozens of people to die tragically. Please have someone remove the poison gas bombs from their bodies and save their lives."
She regarded all birds as friends and relatives. If not for being threatened, she would absolutely not agree to have poison gas bombs implanted in the bodies of birds.
Therefore, when she said this, the woman in white's tone was clearly more angry, but she controlled it very well, making it difficult to detect.
Shen Lang heard it and clasped his fists, saying, "Miss, rest assured, I guarantee not a single bird will die."
"Thank you—"
The woman in white heard this, her tone softened slightly. She tapped the leaves under her feet and leaped dozens of meters away.
However, as she flew away, the silk scarf on her face suddenly fell, and was finally blown into Shen Lang's hand by the wind.
Shen Lang looked up and saw a face as beautiful as a celestial being.
Yet, though beautiful, it was only for a fleeting moment. In the blink of an eye, the woman in white was gone without a trace.
If it weren't for the birds on the ground and the silk scarf in his hand reminding him of her presence, Shen Lang might have thought it was a dream.
"Brother, who is that woman? How could she agree to disperse all the birds after only saying a few words to you?"
Shen Lang put away the silk scarf, intending to return it to the woman in white later, and then walked back.
Looking at Shen Lang, Gu Qinghan asked curiously, "I don't know who she is, but she came here today because she was threatened by the Tang Sect."
Shen Lang did not hide the truth, saying, "She is a person with a pure and kind heart. She is also unwilling to control birds to kill people. So, when I promised to help her solve her troubles, she naturally left."
"So that's how it is."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Qin Long, Gu Qinghan, and all the members of the action team breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, including Gu Qinghan, everyone was filled with admiration for Shen Lang.
If it weren't for Shen Lang today, with just a few dozen people facing hundreds of thousands of birds, they would have been torn to shreds.
And Shen Lang, who subdued the enemy without fighting, how could he not be admired?
"Brother, you have made an immense contribution today."
Gu Qinghan looked at Shen Lang and said, "When we return, I will definitely ask our director, Elder Song, to record a great merit for you."
"Sister, you are too kind. This is nothing."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "It's just that I might have to make a trip to Shuzhong soon."
"To Shuzhong?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Gu Qinghan's smile gradually disappeared, and she said, "Shuzhong is the territory of the Tang Sect. Your name is probably already on Tang Jiutian's blacklist. How can you go to Shuzhong?"
"No, sister absolutely disagrees with you going."
After Gu Qinghan spoke, Qin Long and others also chimed in, "Brother Shen, we also disagree with you going."
"I don't want to go either... but I have to do what I promised others."
Shen Lang sighed and said, "I promised the woman in white that I would help her save someone. If I don't go, she will get angry and control the birds to bloodbath Nanling."
"You saw how terrifying it was just now when she controlled hundreds of thousands of birds. If she were to attract birds from other places, can you imagine?"
"This..."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Gu Qinghan and Qin Long and the others fell silent.
Hundreds of thousands of birds had already filled them with dread. If there were even more, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't worry, sister, I will be fine."
Shen Lang brought his mouth close to Gu Qinghan's earlobe, and his voice, only she could hear, said, "Let me tell you a secret, sister. My martial arts cultivation has reached the Earth Realm."
"What?"
As soon as he said this, Gu Qinghan's reaction was even more shocked than when she saw hundreds of thousands of birds in the sky. She exclaimed, "Brother, is what you said true?"
No one under fifty had reached the Earth Realm. Shen Lang was only twenty-five this year, and he claimed to have reached the Earth Realm. How could Gu Qinghan not be shocked?
In thousands of years, he was probably the first person to achieve this.
"Of course it's true."
Shen Lang whispered, "Even if I lie to everyone in the world, I would never lie to you, sister."
"With my martial arts cultivation and other trump cards, I can save people and protect myself. Sister, please rest assured."
"Good—"
After Shen Lang finished speaking, Gu Qinghan opened her arms and hugged Shen Lang, her voice gentle as she said, "If you need any help, just ask. Sister and the Military Guard Department will definitely support you with all our might."
"I know."
Shen Lang reached out and hugged Gu Qinghan, speaking gently.
Qin Long and the other special operations team members could not hear what Shen Lang and Gu Qinghan were saying, but seeing Gu Qinghan, who was usually as cold as ice, suddenly become so gentle, they were all shocked.
To be able to melt Gu Qinghan, this thousand-year-old ice mountain, Brother Shen is truly amazing.
Three minutes later, the time for the execution arrived. Regardless of how unwilling Tang Zixuan and Nalan Wushuang were, they were shot dead.
Thus, a super fugitive who had committed countless evil deeds, murders, and robberies for decades, and a notorious prodigal son, met their end.
The reaction of the people of Nanling to Nalan Wushuang's death was not significant.
This was because Nalan Wushuang's evil deeds were from decades ago, and many young people didn't even know who he was.
However, Tang Zixuan was different. This young man had been in Nanling for half a year, committing all sorts of wicked deeds and causing widespread public resentment.
Upon hearing that Tang Zixuan had been shot, the people of Nanling all cheered.
And Gu Qinghan, who had brought Tang Zixuan to justice, naturally became the heroine in the hearts of the people of Nanling.
Someone organized a voting poll for Nanling Goddess rankings, and Gu Qinghan ranked first, with over 300,000 more votes than the second-place Ye Shishi.
