After Li Chonglou finished speaking, he was filled with admiration.
“Brother Li, I finally understand why the General Bureau was willing to offend the Commoner's Association to protect you. You must have carried out many missions in the Dragon Team, right?”
It was common knowledge that Li Chonglou came from the Dragon Team, as the matter had caused such a stir that further attempts to suppress the information would only arouse more curiosity.
Therefore, Chen Pingfan instinctively attributed all of this to the Dragon Team, unaware that this skill was learned from Yi Defa, a novice who had just entered the realm.
After bringing the person back, Li Chonglou took the time to secretly learn from her for one night. In fact, what he had mastered was not complete; Yi Defa's skill could make it so that even a seventh-level master standing in front of her would not be able to discern that she had undergone a disguise!
Li Chonglou could now only distinguish subtle differences from a distance, and it was only people like Chen Pingfan, who had never seen this technique before, who would overlook some of the flaws.
“Alright, now that the details have been explained to you, there’s no turning back. Prepare yourself, and let’s begin the operation.”
“Then shall we go back now?”
“Yes, we mustn’t let those miscellaneous and idle people ruin our plan.”
The two immediately returned the way they came.
Meanwhile.
After the two left the building, Wu Di and his group soon paid the price for their carelessness.
When the strange nets were shot at them, the sudden loss of their internal energy turned them into easy prey for the realm masters.
In just half an hour, everyone was thrown back into the building.
“Damn it, what were those things? Will my internal energy be gone like this?”
Liu Tixing was both angry and shocked; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
It wasn’t just him; everyone else was in a similar state, otherwise, they wouldn’t have all fallen into the trap.
Wu Di said in a deep voice, “Do you all remember the airport incident?”
Everyone’s gaze turned towards him.
Wu Di continued, “If I recall correctly, there were rumors at the time that the Duan was trying to get information about a new type of weapon.”
Only then did everyone react. Liu Tianzhi frowned and said, “Now that you mention it, I do have some impression. Wasn’t there also a key figure named Li Chonglou back then?”
“No way, it’s that guy?”
“So that guy knew something was wrong here all along!”
In an instant, everyone’s anger was directed at Li Chonglou.
“He truly is a selfish villain! My uncle almost went bankrupt because of him! The cooperation was at its final stage, but it all fell apart because of this guy!”
“Your uncle going bankrupt is nothing. My brother almost lost his life. I thought taking on a mission from the three major powers was a sure thing, but the cooperation was canceled, and everyone withdrew. If my brother hadn’t reacted quickly enough, I would have been attending his funeral in a few days.”
In an instant, the lobby of the building was filled with complaints. More than half of those present had a stake in the previous cancellation of cooperation.
Although most of the experiences were not their own, their friends or relatives, or their partners had been affected. They dared not settle accounts with the General Bureau, so they all blamed Li Chonglou.
After all, it was easier to bully the weak.
“Alright, it’s no use talking about this now, and besides, Brother Liu hasn’t spoken yet.”
Wu Di raised his hand to stop the murmuring and glanced at Liu Tixing. He didn’t know about the others, but he knew that this person in front of him had also suffered heavy losses due to the canceled cooperation.
A hint of killing intent flashed in Liu Tixing’s eyes, and he said in a deep voice, “There’s nothing more to say about this scoundrel. If we meet him again, we’ll deal with him directly. Brother Wu is right; there’s no point in talking about this now. We need to find a way to get out of here.”
“But our internal energy hasn’t recovered yet. How can we fight them?”
Nearly thirty fifth-level masters were still guarding outside. Even though they knew that the other party wouldn’t really go all out, it was enough to make them feel powerless at the moment.
Liu Tixing looked at Wu Di and asked, “Brother Wu, do you know if this weapon will have a lasting effect?”
Wu Di shook his head, “I don’t know either. The General Bureau handled it very quickly back then, and our focus was on the Divine Envoy organization. I didn’t know this thing could also affect us.”
In fact, they all knew a little about the new weapon, but the General Bureau had handled it so smoothly that it didn’t seem like they had discovered anything significant, which led them to believe it was only a weapon to deal with people of lower realms.
Who would have thought that it would also affect their fifth-level masters!
It was a pity that it was too late to regret it now. The three leaders could only wait.
As time ticked by, the spiritual energy sealed within their bodies gradually recovered, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, it’s only temporary.”
Wu Di also breathed a deep sigh of relief. The three exchanged glances.
“Brothers, what do you think?”
Liu Tixing said in a deep voice, “Based on the current situation, it’s not a problem to force our way out. At most, we’ll just need to rest a bit more.”
Liu Tianzhi added, “From when our internal energy was sealed until now, about half an hour has passed. The delay is not too much, and it’s acceptable.”
The three nodded in tacit understanding. Just now, everyone was still in shock from the new weapon. Now that they had calmed down, it wasn’t such a big deal.
The most important thing was that those realm masters wouldn’t seriously harm them. With this assurance, as long as they dared to take a risk, breaking out wouldn’t be difficult.
However, in doing so, they couldn’t guarantee that everyone would be able to break out.
Although the ordinary soldiers holding the new weapons were not too many, and the speed of the nets was not fast, there were also quite a few of them. It was inevitable that one or two unlucky fellows would appear in a round.
“There’s still a doubt, though. Why are they doing this?”
Liu Tianzhi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke. Everyone’s expression suddenly froze.
That’s right, why would they openly stop them like this?
The fact that they wouldn’t use lethal force indicated that they were all on their side, and their arrival this time was to help the local authorities recapture Donghai Island.
To eradicate those dark and evil forces.
From this perspective, they should have been welcomed with open arms, not be in this situation!
However, at this moment, an arrow suddenly shot in from the door.
The speed was not very fast. A man standing closest suddenly had a cold look in his eyes. Just as he was about to instinctively use his internal energy to destroy it, he suddenly noticed a white paper inserted behind the arrowhead.
He reached out and carefully took it, examining it closely before confirming that it was just a simple wooden arrow.
And it looked like it had just been made.
“Captain, there’s something here.”
The man then took down the white paper behind the arrowhead.
