I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1380 - Chapter 1380 Chapter 671 Hearing the News

Chapter 1380: Chapter 671: Hearing the News Chapter 1380: Chapter 671: Hearing the News “Who are you, and what do you want?”

Old Chen of Wind Media turned around and saw Tang Bin, whose expression was unfriendly, and discreetly signaled Liu Xiao Jun with his hands behind his back.

Indeed, Kunwu County was under the protection of the Arbitration Office, and the prohibition of arms was very strict.

However, this did not mean there were no vendettas or fights here, as law enforcement also required time to respond, and besides, the strong always had an inexplicable confidence.

They believed that as long as they acted ruthlessly and quickly, the Arbitration Office would not be able to catch up with them.

The main work of each Wind Media Organization in Kunwu County was to cooperate with the Arbitration Office to gather intelligence, teaching these strong individuals the principle that heaven’s net is vast and lets nothing through.

For this reason, every Wind Media team had a direct alarm array to the Arbitration Office, enabling Arbitration Office’s powerhouses to arrive here in a very short time, just by moving a finger to input Spiritual Power.

In the meantime, all he had to do was calm this person in front of him with words.

Their understanding stemmed from more than a decade of acquaintance, and when Liu Xiao Jun saw Old Chen’s signal, he acted as if he were terrified.

With a cry of “Ah,” he pretended to fall backward into the counter, while Old Chen “thumped” onto his knees, shouting, “Great man, don’t be rash! Whatever your demands, just say them, please don’t harm the life of this humble one.”

The array was right under the main counter of the hall, both Liu Xiao Jun and Old Chen had the opportunity to activate it.

And both of them moved at the same time, catching off guard, but they faced Tang Bin.

A golden palm, formed of Spiritual Power, materialized above the counter, its five fingers clamping down and grasping both people, its overpowering strength smashing the counter to pieces.

Facing the Sky-picking Hand, the two from Wind Media of the Mortal Realm had no power to resist and were captured in its palm.

Liu Xiao Jun, enduring the intense pain, shouted loudly, “You are a powerhouse of the Tang Clan of Longxi. We had no grievances in the past, nor recent quarrels. Why attack us!?”

“Since you can recognize where I come from, then you should know why I acted.”

The golden palm tightened slightly, and the two Wind Media screamed. Tang Bin coldly said, “Speak, what is the Listening Group plotting against Longxi? Tell me everything from start to finish.”

“Misunderstanding!”

Liu Xiao Jun, on the verge of tears, cried out loudly in grievance, “I am just a member of the Wind Media, living precariously, how dare I scheme against Tang Tianjiao? I spoke earlier only because I placed a hefty bet on the champion of the fights, nothing else!”

“Hmm?”

Tang Bin slightly furrowed his brows, then looked at the tall, thin man who almost ran right into him.

“What Xiao Jun said is true. Elder, if you don’t believe it, I can prove it with my betting slips.”

Old Chen, realizing this might be a misunderstanding, explained despite the pain, “Moreover, the ‘big event’ we mentioned earlier is about the emergence of a Minor Spiritual Realm under the main gateway at Diancang Mountain in Chengzhou. Rumors have emerged that this realm contains the Yun Clan’s national treasures and secret treasures of Yun Zu!”

Tang Bin’s pupils constricted, already believing much of it.

But the situation was a bit difficult to deal with now. What if…

A sharp Liu Xiao Jun suddenly felt a chill down his spine and quickly shouted loudly, “No one wishes for Longxi to win more than our Listening Group today; today’s incident is definitely a misunderstanding. It is said that conflicts bring people closer; now we have indeed met. Although the Listening Group is only average in strength and size, it’s a longstanding Wind Media Organization in Kunwu, surely capable of completing your tasks efficiently, right, Old Chen?”

“Yes, yes, yes, this wooden counter is old and decrepit; it was about time to replace it. It collapsing is a good thing, a good thing; as soon as our betting prize money comes in, we will immediately get a new one, immediately get a new one!”

‘These two Wind Media are quite obedient.’

With an ironic chuckle, Tang Bin dismissed the golden palm, allowing the two to fall to the ground and said lightly, “It seems this is indeed a misunderstanding, so, the losses incurred by the Listening Group, will be compensated by me at full value.”

“No need, no need.”

Old Chen waved his hands repeatedly but was pulled behind by Liu Xiao Jun, who looked up smiling to Tang Bin, “Then, thank you, elder.”

“Additionally, there is another task here for the Listening Group.”

Tang Bin pulled out the selection album of heroes from his chest and tossed it into Liu Xiao Jun’s arms, “Send a message to the scattered strong ones above and tell them the Longxi Alliance is desperate for wealth. If they wish to join us, riches and honor need not be mentioned further; moreover, we can offer divine secret techniques and the method of spiritualizing the physical body.”

“Riches and honor, divine secret techniques, spiritualizing the physical body?”

Liu Xiao Jun was somewhat shocked by the generous offer from the Tang Clan of Longxi. He swallowed and said, “I understand, I will handle this matter perfectly.”

“You’re quite capable.”

Tang Bin glanced at Liu Xiao Jun and then turned to leave.

“The address of the inn where I’m staying is known to the Listening Group. Once the task is completed, come to claim your reward.”

The door blocking the light was opened again, and Liu Xiao Jun and Old Chen, who had survived the ordeal, were bathed in light and finally felt warmth.

The tense feeling of life-and-death a moment ago almost made one forget everything. Now that the threat of death had dissipated, perceptions surged like a tide.

The pain throughout their bodies made both men collapse, sitting on the remnants of a wooden cabinet scattered with wood shavings.

“Huff… huff… finally… huff… survived.”

Liu Xiao Jun gasped for air, far from the calmness he had shown in front of Tang Bin.

“Sss… huff… sss… huff…”

Feeling the pain as if being beaten by countless sticks all over his body, Old Chen gasped, “Sss… After the collection, sss… I’m done with the Wind Media! Sss… ha… damn, Kunwu County isn’t peaceful either!”

Why choose to be Wind Media in Kunwu County if not for the protection by Martial Saint Mountain and governance by the Arbitration Office, a place of peace?

Even for the dark profession of exchanging information like Wind Media, there was decent security assurance.

For the Wind Media, who were not good at fighting, even if they earned less, they preferred to stay in Kunwu County.

But Tang Bin’s recent behavior had shattered all the security they had once felt.

…

That night, Tang Bin returned to the Longxi base.

Xiao Ziyu had brought back many famous calligraphies and paintings from the exchange meeting and was recommending them to Tang Luo at the table.

Meanwhile, Meng Jiao was silently dining as usual, with Yun Ling sitting beside Tang Luo, occasionally laughing.

This ordinary dinner, just like usual, was halted due to Tang Bin’s slightly heavy expression.

“What’s wrong with our old coach?”

Tang Luo was taken aback, stood up to greet him, “Is the recruitment plan not going smoothly?”

“It’s not that.”

Tang Bin said in a deep voice, “I received an important piece of intelligence during a task commissioned by the Wind Media Organization today. After verifying it, I came back late.”

Continuing, Tang Bin looked seriously at Yun Ling, “This intelligence concerns the Yun Clan. In Chengzhou, Diancang Mountain, the Minor Spiritual Realm of Longyuan has landed!”

As these words fell, Yun Ling gasped and stood up, her right hand unconsciously clutching Tang Luo’s left arm.

“Besides, there’s also news of a deliberate leak that I believe will soon spread across Xiehe in a few days.”

“The accumulated wealth of the Yun Clan and the untouched lineage of the ancient Human King, all are within the Minor Spiritual Realm in Diancang Mountain. A treasure trove for the capable ones to possess!”

“Now, countless experts from the Chengzhou noble families are rushing to Diancang Mountain, turning the entire Diancang Mountain into a battleground!”
