Chapter 668: Chapter 667: The Minister is Not Here
"Brother Yang, your phone finally connected."
As soon as the call connected, Hu Lizhong’s voice came through.
Yang Fei’s heart stirred, and he asked, "Have you been trying to contact me for a long time?"
"Yes, since the explosion in the Bermuda Triangle, I have been trying to contact you, but unfortunately, the global signals have been down, and I couldn’t get through to your phone." Hu Lizhong said.
Yang Fei silently nodded.
During this period, global telecommunication devices had been affected; even many countries, to prevent information leakage and such, had proactively cut off external communication signals, implementing regional signal blocking.
"Is there a matter?" Yang Fei directly asked.
He was somewhat expectant.
Hu Lizhong had been stationed at Yunwu Mountain’s Base, and Qin Yanyang’s current primary task should also be to develop Yunwu Mountain’s Base, preparing for the overall strength enhancement of the Military Department.
Looking at the situation in the villa, Qin Yanyang might not even be in Binhai but at Yunwu Mountain’s Base.
The phone call from Hu Lizhong made Yang Fei desperately hope it was instructed by Qin Yanyang.
"There’s a situation, a big one." Hu Lizhong’s voice became stern and tense, he said, "Brother Yang, could you come to Yunwu Mountain’s Base and see?"
Yang Fei’s heart jumped, and he asked, "Is there something wrong with the array?"
"Yes." Hu Lizhong said.
Yang Fei asked, "What’s the problem?"
"I can’t quite explain it over the phone. Where are you? I’ll send someone to pick you up right away?" Hu Lizhong tentatively asked.
Yang Fei thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I am in Binhai."
"Alright, I am now locating your mobile phone’s position, someone will come to pick you up soon," Hu Lizhong said.
Yang Fei agreed.
Previously, when he was overseas, Qin Huai’an had called him about the Fusang Wood to strengthen the Spirit Gathering Array at Yunwu Mountain’s Base. At that time, Yang Fei had to avenge the International Madman and was also competing with Qin Yanyang in his mind, wondering why it wasn’t Qin Yanyang who had called him directly, so he had refused.
Now that the overseas matters had concluded, and he was back in the Divine Continent, moreover with a problem in the array at Yunwu Mountain, he knew he couldn’t ignore it.
Moreover, he needed this incident to negotiate some authority with Qin Yanyang.
After all, he had decided to enter the Hidden Sect World, so before going in, he must deal with the Military Department’s forces stationed there.
He couldn’t very well just barge in.
As dawn broke, a military helicopter carried Yang Fei into Shennongjia’s Primordial Forest.
Not long after entering the Primordial Forest, Yang Fei’s pupils slightly constricted.
He looked outside the helicopter in surprise.
After feeling carefully, he confirmed he wasn’t mistaken and was greatly shocked.
How could this be?
The concentration of spiritual energy here had increased several times compared to before.
It was even close to the concentration of spiritual energy in the Hidden Sect World.
Could it be that the spiritual energy from Yunwu Mountain’s Spirit Gathering Array had leaked out?
No!
The power of Yunwu Mountain’s Spirit Gathering Array wasn’t enough; the amount of spiritual energy it gathered was limited. Even if it all leaked out, it couldn’t increase the density of spiritual energy in the vast Primordial Forest this much.
"How far are we from Yunwu Mountain’s Base in a straight line?" Yang Fei asked a member of the Military Department accompanying him on the helicopter.
The latter was stunned for a moment, then immediately checked and answered a moment later: "One hundred seventy-seven kilometers."
Yang Fei nodded, his expression filled with confusion.
If the spiritual energy here really was leaking from Yunwu Mountain’s Base, then that would be terrifying. Such a broad coverage area would mean a tremendous amount of spiritual energy.
Thinking of Hu Lizhong’s anxious tone over the phone, Yang Fei felt a bit of a heavy mood.
What exactly happened?
According to him, the Spirit Gathering Array he had set up was very stable and reliable; it shouldn’t let the spiritual energy leak out.
Moreover, Hu Lizhong was stationed at the center of the array eye, using a large part of the spiritual energy for the reactor to refine Genetic Liquid Medicine; there shouldn’t be so much spiritual energy leaking out.
As they advanced, the concentration of spiritual energy grew higher.
Although the change wasn’t dramatic, as a master at the Foundation Establishment Stage, Yang Fei was very sensitive to the presence of spiritual energy.
They soon arrived near Yunwu Mountain’s Base.
Yang Fei looked up into the sky.
The massive Yunwu Mountain Valley looked like a giant pot facing the dome of the sky, and above it, a rich power kept scattering downward.
Just then, a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon.
Dawn was breaking.
A streak of morning light appeared above Yunwu Mountain, and Yang Fei’s pupils slightly narrowed as he saw a cluster of purple qi.
Purple qi coming from the east!
Yunwu Mountain had unexpectedly become an excellent blessed land connecting heaven and earth.
The entire layout of Yunwu Mountain’s feng shui seemed to have undergone a huge transformation.
But Yang Fei didn’t care about all this, he kept staring at the sky, intently feeling something.
When Tong Yunshu initially said she sensed something continuously falling from above, he thought it was too mystical.
At this moment, he was having the same feeling.
He could feel a great amount of energy cascading down from the heavens.
Beyond that, he sensed very strong fluctuations occurring high in the heavens.
This reminded him of the scene when entering and exiting the Hidden Sect.
The power of space!
Yes.
It was that kind of fluctuation.
Movements of the primal force of space.
This caused Yang Fei’s expression to become extremely somber.
Instability in spatial power was not a good thing.
Given the dependent relationship between the Hidden Sect World and Earth Space, Yang Fei felt that the appearance of this spatial turbulence above Yunwu Mountain was extraordinary.
It looked more like the opening of a special passage between two spaces.
As the plane approached, the covert sentries of the Military Department stationed at Yunwu Mountain immediately patrolled over.
The plane made contact with the station on the ground and was granted permission to enter the base.
As soon as it landed, several strong lights shone over.
Although it was the break of dawn, the valley still appeared very dim.
Without even disembarking, Yang Fei sensed more than a dozen powerful auras probing over.
He slightly frowned, feeling a bit perplexed.
Although there were many experts in the Military Department stationed here, the top combat power before his last departure was only that of Hu Lizhong.
But now, based on the auras of the dozen-plus probes, these people’s momentum seemed even sharper than that of Hu Lizhong.
The last time with Yang Fei’s help, Hu Lizhong had stepped into the Innate Realm, meaning that the strength of these dozen or so individuals exceeded the Innate Realm and they were of the type skilled in combat, true Martial Arts experts of the battlefield.
Were these all members of the Military Department?
Truly a powerful country indeed.
Any one of these individuals could dominate on their own outside, yet thirteen of them appeared all at once at Yunwu Mountain’s Base.
Indeed, the true elites are loyal to their country.
Jumping off the plane, Yang Fei scanned the surroundings with a glance.
Immediately, those probing gazes vanished.
Though they were Innate Realm experts, Yang Fei was a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
To them, Yang Fei’s gaze was terrifying.
It was as if one glance could see through all their secrets, and staring any longer could claim their lives.
"Brother Yang, you’ve finally arrived."
At that moment, the voice of Hu Lizhong came through.
He approached with a bright smile and a stride, taking Yang Fei’s hand.
Yang Fei nodded at Hu Lizhong, and seeming quite casual, he asked, "Is your director not here?"
Hu Lizhong responded, "The director has been really busy lately, not around here."
Yang Fei couldn’t help feeling slightly disappointed.
Hu Lizhong had mentioned that something had happened here, and since this place was very important to Qin Yanyang, Yang Fei initially thought Qin Yanyang would also be here, and he could meet her.
Outside Yunwu Mountain Valley, within a certain sentinel point, Qin Yanyang watched his face through a clear camera, heard his first question after meeting Hu Lizhong, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, but immediately she let out a cold snort, returning to her aloof demeanor.
