Chapter 376 Cheng Zhen comes out of retreat, preparing for a rainy day

The two sides talked intensely for more than ten minutes. Latherine wanted to start the epidemic several times, but she held back.

She was not sure she could leave England alive, and she was also worried that a full-scale encirclement would ensue prematurely, disrupting her original plan.

Colin also couldn't accept that hundreds or even tens of millions of people were infected with the R5 virus.

In the end, the terms of the ceasefire were that the leaders represented by Colin and Ryan had to give a reply within 48 hours, cede five towns on the edge of the territory to them, and not set up any outposts or send drones for reconnaissance outside a radius of 120km.

Both parties knew that this was a hypocritical request and was just a formality.

The war has reached a stage where there is no end but life and death. In fact, each side is secretly and frantically accumulating strength and planning, thinking about how to destroy the other side in one go.

After watching the two videos, Jiang Mo was silent and felt touched. The world overseas is already in chaos. When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?
In a vague corner of the dream, there was a scene where the mountains and seas revived, giant beasts roared, and the earth was torn apart. He didn't know when the mountains and rivers of Kyushu appeared. There was not much he could do now, but to accumulate strength and prepare for a rainy day.

"boom!"

Just as he was lost in thought, a ray of light that shook the heavens and the earth erupted from the mountain behind the sect.

The wind and thunder Qis were stirred up, rising into the sky and transforming into a ray of silver light standing between heaven and earth. This magnificent vision radiated to the surrounding areas with an unstoppable force.

"Oh?"

Jiang Mo tilted his head, looked into the distance with a smile on his face.

The young brothers in the sect were all stunned where they were, and then there came a torrent of excitement and joy.

The gatekeeper is out!
And it seems to be even higher!
The tourists, strange people and admirers at the foot of Trinity Mountain had been waiting for dozens of days. Suddenly they saw a miracle at night and were so excited that they let out exclamations that echoed through the mountains and forests, and hurriedly took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

The silver light covered the entire visible sky, stretching for thousands of meters. A translucent figure could be vaguely seen, like a god in the world, hundreds of meters tall, with frosty hair flying and white clothes as white as snow.

That is undoubtedly the clear and true Dharma of heaven and earth.

After years of accumulation in breaking through the third level and the second stage of Xuanming, he was able to control all the Qi to forge his true self and cultivate this majestic Dharma image that looks down on the mountains and rivers.

The rolling thunder echoed in the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, as dense as stars and falling like waterfalls, but it was just his embellishment.

"amazing"

Chang Qing walked out of the Sutra Repository, muttering to himself with an expression of approval in his eyes. He couldn't help but wonder how long it would take for him to get to this point.
"Master!"

Jun Ze's expression was moved. He called out softly, his tone unable to suppress his joy. He even stopped feeding the pets.

"Chief!"

"Great!"

"Uncle Master, look, our head master has come out of seclusion!"

Zhuge Yu's disciple Mu Ci danced with joy.

"Well, I'm out."

Jiang Mo responded with a smile. Under his gaze, the strange visions in the sky quickly dissipated. The power that made the mountains tremble was fleeting and was perfectly controlled and restrained.

The next moment, a familiar figure stepped down and arrived in front of the sect’s Qingxin Hall in an instant from thousands of meters away.

"Uncle Master."

Cheng Zhen stepped forward, smiled at Jiang Mo, raised his hands in greeting, bowed slightly, and said:

"Are you all right?"

"Not bad."

Jiang Mo looked at Cheng Zhen and saw that his breathing was normal, neither stable nor chaotic, and his eyes were full of spirit. He knew that he had succeeded and had hope of reaching a higher level.

Cultivating the Dharmakaya is the only way to the third level of Xuanming. If you can get through it, you are almost done. The rest is left to the tempering of time. One day, you will succeed in cultivating to the third level and extend your life by more than a hundred years.

Afterwards, Cheng Zhen learned from his disciples about the changes that had taken place in the mountain over the past few months, and felt a little dazed.

The times were indeed changing fast. In just the few months that he was in seclusion, a large number of awakened people rose up in Kyushu, creating unrest and establishing their own regimes.

If I stay in seclusion longer, one or two years, three or four years, I wonder what the world will become.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Lu."

"If I had come out earlier, maybe I could have helped him."

Cheng Zhen was not afraid when he heard about the strength and methods of those awakened ones. He just felt a little regretful that he did not show up when his junior brother needed help the most during the conquest of the demon cave.

He has a gentle temperament and has rarely used violence in more than seventy years.

The strangers in the martial arts world only know that Chen Qingxuanzun of the Sanyi Sect, the patriarch of the Lu family, and the elder of the Wuhou clan are extraordinary seekers of the truth, and may have gone very far on the path to enlightenment and ascension.

However, there is almost no information about this Wei Xuanzi, and he is indeed the undisputed second peak in the sect, far ahead of his uncle Si Chong and a group of fellow disciples.

Even when the dark web ranked the world's strongest people, there was no way to put him in a suitable position due to the lack of effective evidence due to his rare appearance.

Excluding Jiang Mo, the 43rd generation head of the Trinity Sect is qualified enough to sit firmly on the throne of being the world's number one.

Hearing that Cheng Zhen wanted to lend a helping hand to his junior fellow apprentice, Jiang Mo picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and tapped the bamboo chair beside him with his fingers, motioning him to sit down and chat.

"In the future, there will be opportunities."

"With so many awakened people around the world, it's only a matter of time before quantitative change drives qualitative change."

"Even if there are dozens or hundreds of Level 5 awakeners, I won't be surprised." "But the mainland is still relatively stable. It's hard to say whether the strong people from overseas will come one day."

"If that day comes, your senior brother will have the opportunity to take care of Jin'er."

Jiang Mo took a sip of the cool tea. He happened to see his nephew coming out of seclusion tonight, and he was in a very good mood.

"Then we'll see."

"As a senior brother, I won't allow outsiders to bully Xiao Lu."

Cheng Zhen drank tea with a calm tone. He then ordered his disciples to fetch Go pieces so that he could play Go with Jiang Mo.

"Come."

"Uncle Master."

"it is good"

It was a warm atmosphere inside the gate, with the lights on all the time. Several young disciples did not even sleep, but stayed beside the two elders, serving tea and water, and were having a great time.

That same night, at the Security Council headquarters.

Wei Yuanming and Zhang Zhiwei were both in the president's office on the 31st floor, and in front of Lu Jin there was a huge ultra-clear D projection. The people talking in it were the British representatives, who looked distressed and spoke in anxious tones.

"Lu, we really need your help!"

Colin, Hudson, Ryan and others confessed everything about the incidents they were coerced into doing by the biohazard, hoping to use the power of the Security Council to eliminate their old enemy.

"help?"

“That was not part of the agreement.”

Lu Jin frowned. A few days ago, someone threatened to jeopardize the transaction of the contract, so he traveled thousands of miles to wipe out several awakened people's dens.
Now that it involves a fight between several people and the forces to which Latherin belongs, he is neither in a position nor willing to intervene.

"Lu, can't you really think of a solution?"

Ryan looked pleading, his voice trembling a little:
"Those bastards want to overthrow us. If we can't take care of ourselves, the natural resources you want will also be affected. This is not a threat, but a straightforward statement."

In his eager eyes, the old Taoist priest slowly opened the tablet on the desk and played an overseas recording that had been mailed to the Security Council not long ago.

"Dear friends, I have heard of you for a long time. When you hear this recording, you must have known my identity and purpose."

"For the next period of time, I kindly ask you to just stand by and watch, and don't get involved. In the contract, we can also promise you what they can promise. Of course, I sincerely hope that we can have friendly exchanges with each other."

"!!!"

Colin, Ryan and Hudson, who were far away in another country, looked slightly unhappy. They had not expected that this vicious woman, Latherin, would try to cut off the source of the problem.

After the recording was played, the old Taoist priest rejected their request:

"As for overseas affairs, unless they take the initiative to provoke disputes, we will not intervene."

"Colin, Ryan, we will not leave out anything that was promised to you in the contract. The rest will be up to you to handle."

"I'm not sure whether those people know the specific contents of our contract, but as a precaution, I suggest you investigate to see if there is a traitor."

"I understand. Sorry for bothering you."

Ryan's face looked a little bad, and he didn't continue to beg. He couldn't hear any possibility of getting any help from these straightforward words.

"There is one more thing to discuss. Although we will not help you directly, you can send some virus specimens over so that we can do research. If a vaccine is successfully developed, we can finalize more cooperation."

Wei Yuanming considered the possibility of a biochemical crisis breaking out and spreading to Asia, and wanted to make arrangements in advance to prevent future troubles.

"That's fine, thank you."

Colin agreed in a deep voice, his mood improved. 48 hours was too short a time for a decision. They had no idea what those ambitious people of Latherin were trying to do.

Both sides were stalling for time. Colin, Ryan and others were eager to get several top fighters in the country to break through level 5 as soon as possible, and they were frantically feeding them resources.

And Lacelin created the R5 virus to force the other side to slow down the speed of encirclement and suppression, also in order to breed and cultivate more terrifying awakeners, so as to compete with each other, split the land and become king, and gain true freedom.

Wei Yuanming looked serious, and reminded: "No one other than you must know about this."

"My premonition has always been sharp. There is a traitor in your camp. To avoid unnecessary trouble, please act cautiously and keep it confidential."

"Please rest assured, I will handle this matter myself."

Colin made a solemn promise. He vaguely felt that there was a traitor lurking among his colleagues who had accompanied him to the mainland to sign the contract, but he had no time to investigate, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

The meeting ended and only six people knew its content.

The next day, Colin went to a specific location, waited for Lu Jin, and completed the handover of the virus sample.

On July 7, the news came out.

The British refused to abandon the five border towns. The awakened forces gained jurisdiction over the no-man's land and stayed there, blocking all detection of the surrounding areas by unknown means and isolating themselves from the outside world.

The fighting between the two sides seems to have paused, but in fact a more terrible storm is brewing.

Congressmen Colin, Ryan and others remained on the sidelines and began investigating the identity of the mole.
