Extraordinary Awakening, starting with Samadhi True Fire

Chapter 408 Good Cop, Bad Cop

Site No. 9, a cultural relic.

In front of a certain portal.

"Senior Grace, I'll take my leave."

"Okay, let's go."

Xiao Weiqing stepped into the teleportation portal and disappeared.

"Great sage, do you think highly of Xiao Weiqing?"

"Yes, to comprehend a domain at the third level is to be among the best in many cosmic civilizations. In the tens of thousands of years of history of the Kuhn civilization, only three people have ever done it." As the voice rang out, the figure of the old sage appeared.

"However, by giving Xiao Weiqing a Nirvana Warrior at the Star Lord level, we have already violated our agreement with the human civilization. If this is discovered, it will be difficult to explain."

The wise man shook his head and said, "There must be something wrong with this place where things were conceived. We can't be too rigid in our adherence to the old ways."

Furthermore.

I have a bad feeling that the entire civilization of the Fifth Universe is about to face calamity.

"..."

"Great sage, I feel you shouldn't feel anything at all," Grace said.

......

......

at the same time.

Inside a secret base in the Suzaku Empire.

As soon as Xiao Weiqing stepped out of the teleportation portal, he was surrounded by a group of fully armed soldiers.

"Who is it?"

Xiao Weiqing did not make a move because the opponent was the Vermilion Bird Army.

"We're on the same side, don't lay a hand on us."

Xiao Weiqing smiled, indicating that he had no ill intentions. He extended his mental power and explored for a week, discovering that he was in a base.

Within the base.

There are five experts at the peak of the eighth realm.

Xiao Weiqing transmitted his voice, "Come and see me."

Inside a room.

Ruan Zhan, who was stationed at the No. 9 Civilization Relics Base year-round, was cultivating when he heard the voice in his mind and was startled. He had no way of knowing the location of the person who sent the message.

"Entrance to the ruins."

Whoosh~~whoosh~~~

Five figures soared into the sky, then descended rapidly, landing in front of the entrance to the ruins.

"General Ruan."

The soldiers facing off all saluted Ruan Zhan.

"You may all leave."

"Yes."

Ruan Zhan carefully examined Xiao Weiqing. He had never seen such a young face before, but to be able to emerge from the ruins of the Ninth Civilization meant he must have at least the strength of the Eighth Realm.

"Sir, may I ask who you are? I have a good impression of the powerful individuals who enter the Ruins of Civilization No. 9 every day, but I don't think I've seen you before."

Upon hearing this...

Xiao Weiqing knew where he was.

This is the No. 9 civilization relic, the entrance that the Vermilion Bird Empire has kept open for many years.

"Greetings, General Ruan. My name is Xiao Weiqing."

"If it's convenient, could I speak with Marshal Nguyen?"

Ruan Zhan frowned. "You know my fifth uncle?"

Xiao Weiqing nodded, "Mm."

Ruan Zhan dialed the number on the bracelet with a skeptical attitude. If it were anyone else, he would have taken it immediately.

He couldn't fathom the young man's true strength, but the confidence and composure he exuded were genuine.

"Ruan Zhan, what's the matter?"

"Marshal Ruan, a young man named Xiao Weiqing just came out of the entrance to the ruins. He said he knows you."

"Xiao Weiqing?!"

Ruan Zhen's voice suddenly rose, "Is he with you?"

"Hmm, it seems they just came out of the ruins."

"Put down what you're doing and bring him to the Vermilion Bird Palace now, immediately."

"clear."

Ruan Zhan was very surprised by his fifth uncle's attitude.

"Xiao Weiqing, Marshal Ruan said he wants me to take you to the Vermilion Bird Palace."

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Thank you, General Ruan."

soon.

The two boarded the aircraft.

Ruan Zhan personally escorted Xiao Weiqing to the Vermilion Bird Palace.

.....

In front of the Vermilion Bird Palace.

Deng Yue was already waiting.

"Mr. Xiao, you're finally back."

"What's wrong, Brother Deng?"

Deng Yue said, "The Empire suffered heavy losses this time when it entered the ruins, but fortunately you are alright."

Xiao Weiqing understood what Deng Yue meant: of the six people who went in from the other side of the iceberg, four had died.

"Mr. Xiao, please come with me. The Grand Secretaries are already waiting, and even the Great Xia Embassy has sent people."

"it is good."

Inside the meeting room.

The Palace Mistress of Yunshu sat in the main seat.

Since Xiao Weiqing entered the conference room, Palace Master Yun Shu's gaze has never left him.

On the left is Yin Zong, on the right is Ruan Zhen, and there are several elderly men dressed in the same clothes as Yin Zong, who must also be Grand Secretaries.

Yin Wenzheng was also there, sitting next to Yin Zong.

On the other side sat a man and a woman, both in their forties, with the strength of the eighth realm, and they were from the Great Xia Embassy.

Everyone present was a powerful individual. As soon as Xiao Weiqing entered the conference room, everyone knew that Xiao Weiqing had already entered the eighth realm. They were secretly shocked. Both of the two from Da Xia had successfully built divine bodies and entered the eighth realm after entering the ruins.

In contrast, the Vermilion Bird Empire not only failed to send anyone into the Eighth Realm, but also suffered heavy losses.

"Xiao Weiqing, have you figured it out? If you disappear within the ruins, then I will be guilty," Yin Zong said first, seemingly jokingly.

"Grandpa Yin, you flatter me. Didn't I tell Brother Yin that he didn't need to wait for me?" Xiao Weiqing replied, glancing at Yin Wenzheng.

Yin Wenzheng chimed in, "Grandpa, didn't I already tell you? You just don't believe me."

"Call me Grand Secretary. This is the Vermilion Bird Palace." Yin Zong glared at Yin Wenzheng.

Yin Wenzheng pursed his lips, then said loudly, "Grand Secretary Yin, when the ruins were unearthed, I already reported on the situation of the No. 9 Civilization Ruins."

"Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf."

Yin Zong said angrily.

Then.

Yin Zong changed his demeanor and smiled, "Xiao Weiqing, would you mind telling me about your gains from this trip to the Civilization Relics?"

"Brother Yin, didn't you tell Grandpa Yin?" Xiao Weiqing asked playfully, throwing the question back at him.

"I already said so," Yin Wenzheng said.

"Then the old man asked me what I was doing?"

Xiao Weiqing crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. He wanted to see what Yin Zong was up to, so he pretended not to know.

Yin Zong glanced at Yin Wenzheng, somewhat disappointed in him.

"Oh...I think I did say that. Oh dear, look at my memory." Yin Zong slapped his forehead. "I'm getting old, and I'm becoming less and less useful."

"Xiao Weiqing, if I may ask..."

"Mr. Yin, if it is too presumptuous of you to ask, it would be better not to."

Yin Zong: "......."

"Pfft~"

Yin Wenzheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Is it funny?"

Yin Zong said coldly.

"Replying to Grand Secretary Yin, it's not funny at all."

Yin Wenzheng sat up straight and pinched his thigh hard.

Seeing that Xiao Weiqing was pretending to be confused, Yin Zong didn't beat around the bush and said, "I heard that you entered the fourth gate and went inside the volcano to seize treasures."

"That's right."

Xiao Weiqing frowned slightly; so that was his plan.

"How did it go?" It was Ruan Zhen who spoke.

Xiao Weiqing did not answer.

"Young man, Marshal Ruan is asking you a question, answer him quickly!" an elder reprimanded.

"Grand Secretary Zhang, watch your tone. We are allies with Xiao Weiqing," Yin Zong waved his hand and said. "Xiao Weiqing, according to imperial records, there is a great treasure inside the iceberg, even involving the Nine Realms. You entered the volcano and didn't obtain anything?"

Xiao Weiqing's smile faded. Was this some kind of good cop/bad cop game? A powerful treasure, involving the Nine Realms—he really knows how to make things up.

He placed his hand on the conference table and tapped it lightly with his index finger.

"Tap~ tap~~ tap~"

The sound wasn't loud, but it made everyone tense up.

The slender fingers seemed to tap on their minds, making everyone somewhat unsettled.

Everyone was horrified.
