Chapter 1176 The Situation is Critical
"So that's how it is," Chen Xuan nodded lightly.
At this moment, Lin Yu and Officer Yan, along with a group of people from the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, walked over.
"Greetings, Officer Yan!" Xie Wei said solemnly.
The other members of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade also saluted.
"You've all worked hard, no need to be so formal!" Officer Yan nodded slightly, not saying much more.
"I didn't expect this matter to alarm you," Xie Wei said quickly.
Officer Yan said in a deep voice, "This is no small matter. Higher authorities are all paying attention to it."
"Xie Wei, how dare you say that? If it weren't for your incompetence, why would Officer Yan personally come to Jiangnan Province?" Lin Yu sneered.
Xie Wei was speechless.
He had indeed not handled this matter well, but it wasn't entirely his fault. That Nine-Headed Dragon was too powerful, and the Jiangnan Province Yanhuang Iron Brigade simply couldn't deal with it.
Seeing Xie Wei rendered speechless by his retort, Lin Yu chuckled a few times.
He suddenly noticed Chen Xuan, "Who is this Xie Wei? He doesn't seem to be from the Yanhuang Iron Brigade?"
Chen Xuan wasn't wearing the Yanhuang Iron Brigade uniform, and he hadn't saluted Officer Yan when the others did, which made Lin Yu suspect Chen Xuan wasn't part of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade.
"This is Mr. Chen Xuan. He's the expert I invited to deal with the Nine-Headed Dragon," Xie Wei introduced.
"You're the Chen Xuan who killed Su Ning?"
Lin Yu had clearly heard of Chen Xuan's reputation and looked over.
Officer Yan also turned his gaze to Chen Xuan, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"Indeed!"
Chen Xuan nodded lightly.
Lin Yu sneered, "Kid, you dare to refuse the invitation of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade? You're truly audacious!"
"I'm giving you a chance now. Report to the Seven Provinces Joint Law Enforcement Conference tomorrow, or I'll teach you a good lesson! Let you know that the Yanhuang Iron Brigade's authority cannot be challenged!"
Chen Xuan said dismissively, "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to speak to me?"
Lin Yu's face darkened, "You..."
"What about me? Let me tell you, I don't give a damn about the Seven Provinces Joint Law Enforcement Conference. Why should I join the Yanhuang Iron Brigade?" Chen Xuan scoffed.
This time, not only did Lin Yu's expression change drastically, but Xie Wei's also did. This was happening right in front of Officer Yan, and these words were essentially slapping Officer Yan in the face.
As expected, Officer Yan's face had turned pale.
"Chen Xuan, stop talking," Xie Wei quickly advised.
If Chen Xuan continued, he would be finished.
"For Xie Wei's sake, I won't stoop to your level."
Chen Xuan nodded slightly and didn't say anything further.
Lin Yu, however, was relentless, "Good boy, you dare to insult our Yanhuang Iron Brigade's Seven Provinces Joint Law Enforcement Conference. You think you're so skilled, huh? Fine, today I'll let you see my strength."
"Enough! Stop this nonsense!"
Suddenly, Officer Yan said in a deep voice, "The overall situation is paramount!"
"Officer Yan..." Lin Yu was extremely unwilling, seeming to want to regain his dignity.
"The overall situation is paramount!" Officer Yan shouted again.
At this, Lin Yu touched his teeth, glared at Chen Xuan, and said, "Kid, you got lucky."
Chen Xuan frowned, not expecting Officer Yan to intervene.
Then, Officer Yan looked at Chen Xuan again and said, "Chen Xuan, although you're going to the capital soon, don't be too arrogant. Otherwise, you'll suffer greatly in the capital. The powers there are even more formidable."
Chen Xuan instantly understood what was happening. Officer Yan had probably heard about the Su family lineage from the provincial capital returning to the capital.
As for Officer Yan's warning, he didn't take it to heart at all, saying lightly, "Perhaps it will be the guys in the capital who suffer."
Officer Yan frowned. This guy was too arrogant. He would probably suffer in the capital too.
At this moment, behind Officer Yan stood an old man in a white robe, quietly observing Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan also sensed it and turned to look at the old man in the white robe. The old man didn't say anything, looking at him frankly before nodding in greeting.
Chen Xuan also nodded slightly.
While the old man in the white robe was sizing him up, he was also sizing up this old man. He found that this old man was extraordinary, and even Officer Yan showed respect when he saw him.
It was clear that the old man in the white robe was not ordinary at all.
Afterward, due to Officer Yan's arrival, the command of the scene was handed over to him. However, no action was taken, as if they were waiting for someone's arrival.
"Mr. Chen, that Nine-Headed Dragon has captured nine women. Won't he perform that Nine Dragon Yin Devouring Formation?" Xie Wei asked worriedly.
Chen Xuan said, "Don't worry. It's not yet the time when the Yin Sha Di Sha energy is most concentrated. He won't set up the Nine Dragon Yin Devouring Formation."
It was precisely for this reason that Chen Xuan wasn't in such a hurry. Otherwise, he would have already stormed the abandoned building.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan's expression changed. A gust of wind blew, and the scattered Sha energy inexplicably began to surge towards the abandoned building. In an instant, the Sha energy in the Yin Sha Di became extremely concentrated.
This was the best opportunity to set up the Nine Dragon Yin Devouring Formation!
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Mr. Chen, what's wrong?" Xie Wei asked urgently.
Chen Xuan then briefly explained the situation to Xie Wei, unsure if Xie Wei fully understood.
Xie Wei hastily asked, "What should we do?"
"Ask them who they are waiting for. Can we go in first?" Chen Xuan said.
Xie Wei nodded and approached Officer Yan, asking respectfully, "Officer Yan, who are we waiting for? I think time is of the essence, to avoid further complications. Mr. Chen and I are prepared to lead the people in."
Lin Yu snorted, "You've suffered so much, and you still dare to go in? You truly don't want to live! Even now, why are you still pretending to be tough?"
"Lin Yu, isn't that going too far? We're concerned about the safety of the kidnapped people!" Xie Wei said sternly.
"Hmph, what are you pretending for? You guys should just wait obediently. If you useless people go, you'll be like a dog chasing a bone, gone forever." Lin Yu's gaze swept over Chen Xuan, seemingly hinting at something.
"You..."
Just as Xie Wei was about to retort, Officer Yan said, "Alright, stop arguing. Xie Wei, wait a moment. Reinforcements will arrive shortly."
"Did you hear that? Officer Yan said to wait!" Lin Yu said.
"Officer Yan, who are we waiting for? I'm afraid something might happen inside. Can we lead people in first?" Xie Wei asked.
"A powerful distinguished figure!"
Officer Yan said calmly, and as he mentioned this person, a trace of reverence appeared in his eyes, clearly indicating that the person was not ordinary.
"It's no use for you to go in. To reduce unnecessary casualties, it's best not to go in for now."
"This..."
Xie Wei looked at Chen Xuan, his gaze asking for his opinion.
Chen Xuan glanced at the extremely dense Sha energy. He couldn't wait any longer, and immediately said, "Xie Wei, you come with me!"
With that, he began to walk towards the abandoned building.
Xie Wei gritted his teeth and also moved to follow Chen Xuan towards the building.
Lin Yu immediately jumped out and roared in a condescending tone, "Hey, what are you guys doing? Didn't you hear Officer Yan's orders?"
Officer Yan also frowned deeply at Chen Xuan's unauthorized action. This kid was too disrespectful.
