Chapter 219: Chapter 217: I’ll Kill Them for You
"An organization created by a group of rich and powerful elites? Such societies are not uncommon—does the military power of Yin Country really fear organizations of this caliber?" Wei Tianyang was somewhat puzzled.
Among human-created organizations, the largest is undoubtedly the "national political party." The three key elements that constitute a country are the political ideology that binds the organization, the violent institutions that protect its own survival, and its position in the world financial system. All three are indispensable, meshing like gears to ensure the concept of "state" persists within this triangular cycle.
As for so-called elite organizations... they may have the ideology and the money, but they can’t possibly possess violence on the scale of a state, nor can their finances be separated from the financial systems built by the world’s nations.
These types of organizations often collaborate with a country rather than oppose it. Should they truly become antagonistic, state-level violence could easily dissolve them.
However, Zhao Ling just chuckled and said, "You’re right, and that’s exactly how I taught you. Power cannot remain unchallenged because no one can suppress the entire world single-handedly. Most powerful entities are not individuals but groups, and that strength is systemic. But the Lingxian Sect... they’ve done just that..."
Wei Tianyang’s eyes flashed red, and a craving ignited within his bones. He was somewhat restlessly agitated, yet also very confused.
"You mean... they..." Wei Tianyang guessed.
"Yes, they’ve not only collected so many superpowers, the organizational structure of the Lingxian Sect is beyond my knowledge, but their upper echelons are composed of superpower users who are three-in-one, and they have the ability to produce neutralizing agents," said Zhao Ling.
Wei Tianyang slightly tilted his head upward, his voice cold, "Where are they? I’ll go help you kill them."
"That’s exactly what I’m most worried about! Yang, you’d better not provoke them on your own right now," Zhao Ling immediately advised against it.
Wei Tianyang was startled, "What? You think I can’t do it?"
"They have already set their sights on you, and they are in the shadows while you are in the open. They have a tight grip on both your weaknesses and strengths. Your power is extremely unbalanced; your destructive force is unparalleled, but your instant teleportation ability relies on switching through the Shadow World. Ordinary Superpower Special Departments may not be able to handle you, but those with the power of the three-in-one certainly are not without strategies..." Zhao Ling explained.
In other words... Wei Tianyang had no hidden cards up his sleeve, no life-saving abilities in their presence.
Wei Tianyang neither confirmed nor denied this; he was also aware that caution was needed in all things, especially when it came to killing.
"It’s difficult to kill you, but not impossible. They covet your ability; they want the power you have to destroy a city. I called you back to tell you about this, to remind you to always be on your guard, and not to lose your life over a moment’s carelessness. I’m not the type to hold back information. I’ve told you everything you need to know, now you be careful," Zhao Ling added.
Zhao Ling was worried and troubled about his situation, and Wei Tianyang saw it in her eyes. Although she initially approached him because of his value as a tool, her actions over the past three years could not be simply summarized with the word "use."
"The Lingxian Sect has given you a hard time over these past decades, haven’t they?" Wei Tianyang said.
Zhao Ling snorted, but upon seeing the earnest look in Wei Tianyang’s eyes, a flash of flattery crossed her face. She turned her head, steadied her emotions, and quickly returned to a tough and cold demeanor.
"I am not just a pretty face, they can’t get the better of me so easily. My relationship with the Lingxian Sect is one of mutual exploitation; both sides are aware that there will come a day when we tear off our masks, and when that day comes, it will be either them or me who will perish," Zhao Ling stated.
"I’ll kill Li Ruyun for you; they can put all the blame on my head," Wei Tianyang offered.
"There’s no need for that; now is not the time to flip the table," Zhao Ling shook her head.
"If they are really that strong, why don’t they come down and confront me personally?" Wei Tianyang asked again.
"That, I do not know. I’m not a worm in their gut. But I guess... those people must value their lives dearly. After all, the strength you’ve shown is not to be underestimated. Without 100% certainty, nobody wants to make a move rashly," Zhao Ling speculated.
"I understand... That Li Ruyun even advised me to have surgery to remove my abilities..." Wei Tianyang recalled.
"They want to trick you onto the operating table; once the anesthesia kicks in, you’ll be completely at their mercy. So... no matter who it is, if anyone tries to get you to lie on an operating table or attempts to anesthetize you under the guise of treatment... you must not agree," Zhao Ling warned.
Wei Tianyang nodded. If Zhao Ling hadn’t come to him in person today to tell him all this, perhaps one day he really would’ve capsized in a gutter.
This world, indeed, has shadow organizations that transcend the national system, and not just one.
The "Dawn of Humanity" that Spencer mentioned, the "Lingxian Sect" from Zhao Ling’s words, and the "Shadow Government" that Steijie vaguely referred to.
The blood and flesh of the Heavenly Falling Objects brought superpowers and also amplified people’s ambitions. Without a corresponding force to counterbalance, perhaps, this world will soon face a war that no country can withstand.
"That Lingxian Sect... do you know where they are? Such a large organization, with the ability to manufacture a neutralizing agent, must have a significant territory and not be easy to hide," Wei Tianyang said.
Neutralizing agents are essentially like drugs; pharmaceutical factories need a variety of raw materials, as well as waste disposal and waste material processing.
Added to that, they have the capability to develop Black Medicine, equivalent to having a complete production chain and matching manpower; so many people clustered together would be enough to constitute the size of a small town.
There aren’t many places on Earth that could accommodate them.
Zhao Ling shook her head and said, "It’s not difficult to find them, but the problem is I can’t go after them, I’m unable to..."
Wei Tianyang sighed, understanding the implication.
Zhao Ling was the Emperor of Yin Country, but the entirety of the Three Institutes, Six Bureaus, and Twelve Departments were not a united front. Who knows how many people influenced by various forces had infiltrated? And to use the Emperor’s power to search for the Lingxian Sect, there would undoubtedly be many obstacles, like Steijie, who knew who the opposition was but couldn’t even vocalize their name.
Zhao Ling had said what she needed to say and then said, "Let’s go outside. There’s another matter to discuss today."
Wei Tianyang placed a hand on her shoulder, and the two cut out from objective reality. Now, this so-called objective reality, in Zhao Ling’s words, was referred to as the "Shadow World", which undoubtedly had a deeper meaning.
"Another matter? It has nothing to do with Yin Country, does it?" Wei Tianyang asked.
After exiting the Shadow World, their tone of conversation lightened somewhat, as the forbidden topics had ended.
"It’s an incident from West Soil. President Fogen is in the guest room downstairs. He arrived the day before yesterday," Zhao Ling said.
"Fogen... Oh, the President of Libitelli. I’ve heard that their pasta and wine are quite good. But I’ve never had the chance to try them," Wei Tianyang said.
Libitelli was the strongest among the West Soil countries in terms of comprehensive power and was the only country in West Soil that was self-sufficient in military and heavy industry. Of course, its production scale couldn’t compare with Yin Country and the Sethiyan Federation, but for a peninsula nation of 200 million people, such strength was enough to lead the Western Alliance.
"You wouldn’t like it. Let President Fogen tell you the specifics himself..." Zhao Ling said.
Just as the two were about to leave, they saw four female Inner Guards return with Yaha. These four were special agents arranged by Zhao Ling to take care of Yaha’s daily needs and ensure her safety. In the days Wei Tianyang was away, they had lived and spent all their time with Yaha.
"Black black~ Big Black Black~" Yaha held up her bald wrist towards Wei Tianyang.
Wei Tianyang hurried over, embraced her, and symbolically lifted her into the air. Yaha giggled with laughter.
"She must be 26 now, right? It’s really pitiful... that severe injury hit her hard," Zhao Ling said, arms crossed, shaking her head.
"She once reached out to help me when I had nothing, now it’s my turn," Wei Tianyang said.
