"Yes!" Yang Fei finally understood.
It wasn't just a simple test to see if anyone was monitoring them.
More importantly, they wanted to get rid of this money.
So, these guys were willing to injure themselves, employing a stratagem of self-inflicted harm.
However, Yang Fei had already returned the money.
This meant they wouldn't have the opportunity to squander the money. Ling Feng had naturally asked Yang Fei to invite the media for this very purpose.
It was to let everyone see where the money was going.
It was to torment Elder Tian and the others!
The night was deep and quiet.
The lights in Elder Tian's house were long gone.
But Elder Tian was squatting in the courtyard, staring at the position on the mountainside.
He could clearly sense the presence of everyone around him, which made his expression grim.
Being watched was an uncomfortable feeling.
Forty years ago, he might have simply killed these people.
However, the people who came this time were extraordinary. They were warriors personally trained by Ling Tianci. Although not part of the War God Corps, they were still elites.
Now, this five million had to be dealt with.
Of course, he wouldn't give up just yet.
He tapped his pipe on the steps and Elder Tian returned to his room to sleep.
At the same time.
Ling Feng's figure appeared eerily on a treetop on another mountain, standing on the fragile branches, swaying with them.
He looked so light.
If one didn't look very closely, it would be impossible to detect that a living person was standing there.
Of course, Ling Feng wouldn't allow anyone to get close!
Elder Tian would never dream that while he was watching Yang Fei and the others, Ling Feng had already grasped their every move.
"Enemy spies will never set foot in my Huaxia again!"
Ling Feng's voice was chillingly cold. After his indifferent words, his figure vanished.
Yes, Ling Feng did not kill them.
Although he had a grasp of their strength, Ling Feng was still observing. Was there anyone else behind them?
How could these people, who managed to drag Nalan Xing out of the Elder Council and kill a Grand Elder, have such simple methods?
Their greatest strength was concealment.
Unfortunately!
Ling Feng's greatest strength was uncovering the truth. All disguises were paper-thin before him!
The day of revelation would eventually come.
The most foolish thing about these people was believing that even if their identities were exposed, they would still have the means to protect themselves!
Ling Feng did not return home.
Instead, he went to a military base in the capital!
This was where all the warriors of the War God Corps had reassembled. After the Southern Cloud operation, they had been dispersed again.
Because of the previous operation, both the Elder Council and the military had deeply realized the power of the War God Corps!
Whether it was their individual combat power or their collective combat power.
It was terrifying to the extreme.
However, for Ling Feng, this was not enough. He wanted these warriors, these heroes, to become even stronger, to transcend all the powers in this world, and to be capable of stabilizing the cities, and even the entire world!
Therefore, here, Ling Feng had already begun a new round of training for these warriors.
The first step was to mend the wounds they sustained on the battlefield!
"Heavenly Venerable, you've arrived!"
The heavy base gate opened, and a bespectacled young man in a white coat walked out. He looked refined and showed great respect to Ling Feng.
His name was Zhou Jin.
He was a talent unearthed by Ling Feng over the past two years, specializing in biochemical research.
Recently, Zhou Jin had developed a gene drug that could unlock human potential, and more importantly, a drug called regenerative fluid!
This was a project Zhou Jin had started researching when he first arrived two years ago, and it had finally yielded initial results!
"How is the effect?"
Ling Feng cut to the chase, directly asking Zhou Jin.
"Success rate is one hundred percent, with zero side effects. Regenerative tissue has been strengthened. Thirty-two heroes with missing limbs have been treated, and no mutations have occurred again!"
Zhou Jin adjusted his glasses and reported the situation.
Ling Feng nodded with satisfaction, "Very good. Do not give this to anyone, nor leak it out!"
"Of course, Heavenly Venerable, I know the importance of this. Some people from the military came to inquire, but they couldn't enter the core area, so I just gave them some minor things to fool them."
Zhou Jin said casually.
Ling Feng had great confidence in Zhou Jin. This was considered a secret weapon in Ling Feng's hands.
Then, Ling Feng took out a small bottle he was holding.
Zhou Jin took it and brought it before his eyes, seeing strands of hair through his glasses.
"Oh? Gene mutation?"
Zhou Jin made a guess after just one glance.
"The owner of this hair tissue had their physical appearance and even their aura altered, to the point of complete transformation. Help me see how to restore him, or how to leave some irreversible consequences on him!"
As he spoke, Ling Feng's eyes were filled with chilling killing intent.
Zhou Jin nodded, "Simple."
After collecting the hair, he spoke to Ling Feng again, "Heavenly Venerable, your genes have been incorporated into the potential-stimulating drug. It is confirmed that these heroes can be injected. They should receive about thirty percent of your inherited bloodline power, but there is a thirty percent chance of mutation!"
This was another important task Ling Feng had assigned to Zhou Jin.
"Mutation? Good or bad?"
"Good. No side effects have been found yet, it will only neutralize some biological genes, with a possibility of partial beastification! Mostly keratinous beastification, like claws, horns, and the like!"
Zhou Jin said word by word, a smile on his lips. It was clear that this kid was deliberately being coy!
"Maintain your composure. That way, you won't go stir-crazy doing research here," Ling Feng glanced at Zhou Jin!
Zhou Jin shrugged, "I enjoy researching these things, and it gives me a sense of accomplishment to be able to help these heroes."
"Alright, more samples will be sent to you later," Ling Feng waved his hand casually and was about to leave.
Zhou Jin became somewhat excited, "Are they also people with bloodline power?"
"Yes, there are currently eight types discovered that are worth collecting. Other awakened bloodline powers are not worth mentioning!" Ling Feng replied casually and was about to leap away!
"What about the Town Guardian King Li Tianjiao?" Zhou Jin asked repeatedly.
Ling Feng then remembered this matter, "Yes, Li Tianjiao was poisoned with a gene toxin targeting his bloodline power. I've been helping him and his sister detoxify recently. Once there's a breakthrough, you'll need to quickly improve your strength. In a while, you might need to go out!"
"Ah? I don't want to go out. I'm quite happy doing research here..."
Zhou Jin looked reluctant. Seeing Ling Feng's cold glance, Zhou Jin quickly saluted, "Yes, I will obey orders!"
