"Li Tianjiao, wait!"
Just as Li Tianjiao was about to leave, Ji Yunyue suddenly stopped him with a cold voice.
Li Tianjiao frowned slightly. "What? Leaving him here with you is not as good as letting me take him. Although I know your Witch God Hall has good medical techniques, they are still inferior to my conditions. With me, he can recover faster!"
Ji Yunyue shook her head at Li Tianjiao.
"I don't want to keep him. I also know he's better off with you. What I want to say is, I want to join the Elder Council. From today onwards, I will be solely responsible for finding Ling Feng. Also, regarding全民武道 (Quanmin Wudao - Universal Martial Arts), I can also do something. Our Witch God Hall plans to join and reveal itself to the world!"
Li Tianjiao frowned upon hearing the first part.
After hearing Ji Yunyue's later words, Li Tianjiao's expression changed drastically. "The Witch God Hall plans to reveal itself? Do you know the implications of this?"
"I know. We will be subject to all regulations and monitor all our issues. When Ling Feng is not here, we will obey the Elder Council, and obey you. Since Ling Feng said to find you if there's trouble, there might be some trouble ahead!"
Ji Yunyue's expression was extremely calm as she spoke word by word.
Li Tianjiao's eyes lit up a bit. If the Witch God Hall was willing to obey him, it would undoubtedly add formidable strength to the Elder Council!
"Alright, joining the Elder Council is fine. However, I still don't recommend your Witch God Hall to reveal itself directly. This needs a process. Don't worry, I will give you an identity!"
Having said that, Li Tianjiao seemed to have thought of something and said to Ji Yunyue, "Also, the person currently responsible for finding Ling Feng is Zhou Jingyi. You can go find her!"
Ji Yunyue nodded. "Okay, I understand!"
Li Tianjiao then turned to look at everyone, and finally said to Lin Siqi, who looked extremely haggard, "You said before that you would wait for Ling Feng to return, so you need to take good care of yourself. The medicines from this pharmaceutical factory are crucial for the progress of Quanmin Wudao, so we all need you!"
Lin Siqi, who had been somewhat dejected, suddenly had her beautiful eyes light up upon hearing Li Tianjiao's words. It was as if she truly realized the important responsibility on her shoulders, and she nodded at Li Tianjiao. "Don't worry, I will do everything. I'll wait for him to come back!"
Everyone also silently nodded in their hearts, vowing to wait for Ling Feng's return!
And for everyone's promise, they waited for a full three years!
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
And three years was enough to cause tremendous changes in the landscape of China, and even the entire world.
Quanmin Wudao halls had been established all over the world. However, it did not turn into a world of martial arts heroes as everyone had initially imagined.
Instead, it became a world where technology and martial arts were combined.
Martial artists greatly increased the labor force, playing a crucial role in the construction of the entire world.
Buildings that were once imagined in science fiction movies rose from the ground.
Cities became more prosperous, but the urban areas were significantly reduced. This was all due to the rise of another power.
It was also because of the appearance of these people that the world underwent tremendous changes.
They were one of the few top technology companies in the world, but few people knew that they were related to the greatest transformation in the world.
That was two and a half years ago, on a day known as the first year of the new century. The Liu Zhiguang Group released gene fluid that could change the physique of all humanity. Everything was extremely popular, making Liu Zhiguang Group the most profitable enterprise at that time!
At the same time, a mutation also spread across the African continent.
It was the mutation of all animals.
It was as if all the creatures in the world could not stand humanity's gradual strengthening. All species were unwilling to be left out and joined this transformation!
Thus, the world was no longer lonely. A war that almost became a human catastrophe broke out.
It was not a war between nations, but a war between humans and other mutated species.
At this time, Liu Zhiguang, as a company that could effectively strengthen human physique with its gene fluid, naturally made a fortune.
It played a crucial role in this battle, saving nearly one-third of lives.
However, while everyone regarded Liu Zhiguang as a hero in this battle, no one knew that the mutated and evolved creatures that had become monsters were all related to the Liu Zhiguang Group.
And China also suffered heavy losses of many warriors in this battle for the survival of all humanity!
This included the participation of the War God Regiment.
The responsibility of strengthening the physique of the remaining two-thirds of ordinary humans fell upon the Tianci Pharmaceutical Group.
This was the group led by Lin Siqi, with Ling Feng, the Zhenbei Heavenly Venerate, as its true owner.
However, to this day, in the battles that still occurred, the legendary figure from three years ago had never appeared.
That War God of China.
The Zhenbei Heavenly Venerate had completely disappeared!
However, Li Tianjiao did not wish for the world to believe that man was dead, so the War God Regiment was still invited out by Li Tianjiao.
However, the commander had become Yang Fei, the only one capable of leading the War God Regiment into battle.
And today was a rainy night.
Out of the hundred members of the War God Regiment from that year, eighteen had been lost. Although warriors who sacrificed everything for glory quickly joined, every loss was an extremely heavy blow to everyone!
In the capital, at the cemetery on Mount Bahua, Yang Fei led all the warriors of the War God Regiment to hold a burial ceremony for the eighteenth fallen martyr!
There were no gunshots, only the silent mourning of everyone!
Li Tianjiao stood beside Yang Fei, looking at the two new scars on Yang Fei's face, and sighed. He reached out and patted Yang Fei's shoulder.
"It's been two and a half years, you've worked hard! If only Ling Feng were still here!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Fei turned his eyes wide open to look at Li Tianjiao. "The Heavenly Venerate is still here! If the Heavenly Venerate wasn't with us, more people would have died!"
Li Tianjiao gave a wry smile. Ling Feng was the faith of all the War God Regiment.
How long could they persist with a missing, or perhaps deceased, person as their faith?
Li Tianjiao thought so at first, but two and a half years had passed, and these people still held firm to their faith, as if that man would truly appear one day!
Screech!
The sound of car tires frictioning against the ground was heard. Li Tianjiao and the others turned to look.
They saw a car stop beside the cemetery, and a graceful figure flashed out.
Then another followed, with a large number of warriors behind them.
When the two graceful figures settled,
Yang Fei also bowed respectfully to Ji Yunyue. "Sister-in-law!"
Ji Yunyue nodded slightly. Three years had passed, and she appeared more mature, but her eyes were sharper, and there was also an irrepressible excitement.
"Zhou Jin just found me. According to his memory, we discovered his traces within the former Zhejiang Province!"
As soon as she said this, Yang Fei's eyes widened with excitement. "Zhejiang Province? Where?!"
Li Tianjiao also felt a surge of blood rush to his heart!
"This mad scientist, Zhou Jin, has finally healed his head?"
Ji Yunyue shook her head at Li Tianjiao. "He hasn't been cured, but he recalled that he fell off a cliff and injured the back of his head, and was saved by some children. Following this clue, we have locked onto some areas. After screening, we have basically identified a region, but there are many monsters there!"
