Chapter 1024: Breaking the Secret Gate

When the people from the Processing Bureau went up to check the body, the old imperial family members also saw it from afar. They felt something was wrong and immediately sent someone back to report the matter.

The middle-aged man was waiting for news. When he heard this, he knew that the two dead might just be scapegoats.

Who knows what else these two people might have brought with them, and the news must have been leaked, so it would be useless even if he found them. Now all he could do was to enter the secret vault as quickly as possible, open the rift before Yangzhi City and Central City could react, and expand it to a certain scale as much as possible.

He said in a cold voice: "Don't worry about what's happening outside. Everybody, follow me inside!" As he said that, he walked quickly towards the stone wall where the door had been opened. The people behind him hurriedly followed, and soon they all entered.

In Yangzhi City, after a day, the field information here has basically stabilized, and is still spreading outward from various areas. Every once in a while, an area is connected to the overall information field.

On the national avenue on the east side, the armored vehicle was still parked there. The telegraph operator received a telegram and quickly handed it to Chen Chuan who was sitting in the back seat of the vehicle after translating it.

"Director, this is an urgent telegram from Director He of the branch."

Chen Chuan took it and looked at it. He thought for a moment and said, "Send a telegram to ask where Advisor Cheng and the others are."

The telegraph operator immediately sent a message. After a while, the telegram received a reply, and Cheng Shang and his party had already arrived in front of Jiaoshan.

Chen Chuan said: "Tell them that the previously suspected secret treasure should be in Jiaoshan, and it may have been opened at this moment. Ask them to go up immediately and do everything they can to eliminate the old imperial family members and control the rift over there."

The radio operator responded sternly and immediately sent a message to Cheng Shang's team.

On the outskirts of Jiaoshan, Cheng Shang and others had already arrived and met He Fen.

This time the team includes not only the Cheng family members who are familiar with the Jiaoshan environment, but also two executive captains from the Processing Bureau, the Lan Shen Gu brothers and sisters, and a group of Esoteric Religion Investigation Bureau personnel.

After receiving the telegram of instructions from the rear, Cheng Shang looked at Jiaoshan in front of him. His nephew disappeared here. Could it be related to the secret treasure? He hoped it was, but also hoped it was not.

At this moment he took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Go up the mountain!"

Because the Cheng family has been coming here to visit people every year for forty years, many villagers on Jiaoshan are very familiar with them. This time they still followed the old rules and brought a lot of supplies needed by the village. This made all the villagers very happy, and they did not encounter any obstacles when going up the mountain.

After the group reached the top of the mountain, they put down their things, stayed for a short while, and then immediately left the village and walked to higher ground. The villagers did not find it strange at all, and they were still pointing and saying that the people who followed them this time looked extraordinary, and there must be a "master" responsible for finding people.

After hearing this, some people hoped that the Cheng family could find their lost relatives this time, while others hoped that the Cheng family still could not find anyone this time, so that they could come to send gifts to them every year in the future.

After the Lan Shen Gu siblings left the village, they quickly took out the ritual objects and measured them, and found the correct direction. Within half an hour, they found a corner of the secret treasure that had been dug up, and led everyone to the entrance of the secret treasure safely.

Lan Shengu said, "Everyone, the situation inside the secret vault is unclear, so be careful when you go in." He emphasized, "You may encounter some strange situations, so don't force yourself to resist. I will try to break them."

Everyone knows that secret treasures are dangerous and cannot be solved by force alone. The Lan brothers and sisters are experts in secret rituals and have expressed their willingness to follow the arrangements.

As Cheng Shang walked over, he found that the villagers around him were either sitting or standing, looking dazed and dull, like zombies.

He was experienced and judged that at least one of the opponents he was going to face was good at spiritual power, but from the traces of the footprints, none of the people who passed by were third-level fighters.

This is good news, but it should not be taken lightly.

He put on the jade pendant handed to him by his junior to protect his spiritual power, stretched his muscles, raised his head and said, "I haven't moved for a long time, I need to exert some strength today." After that, he took the lead and walked into the secret storage. The people behind him followed all the way.

Chen Chuan soon received a telegram saying that Cheng Shang and others had entered the secret treasure, so he waited there patiently.

It is impossible for the old imperial family to mobilize too much power from the fusion land. If his judgment is correct, the personnel mobilized this time should be those who are dormant outside, and their strength will not be very strong.

This time, there are four third-level fighters in Chengjia's team, which is enough to clean up the situation.

After waiting for four hours, a telegram finally arrived. The operator said, "Director, Advisor Cheng has sent a message saying that they have captured all the former imperial family members who entered the secret vault and discovered a rift. Please provide further instructions."

Chen Chuan hummed and said, "Let Advisor Lan take over and maintain the rift there, and interrogate detailed information from the prisoners as soon as possible."

"Yes."

After waiting for another half an hour, another telegram was delivered.

Chen Chuan took a look at it. This time, the main leader of the old imperial family was very stubborn and was killed on the spot. According to the remaining captives, this crack could point to the Dongqing Plain of the old imperial family as long as it was opened with a specific key.

These people heard that there was a large army stationed there, waiting for the rift to open, so that the army could rush out and occupy Jiaoshan, and then sweep across the entire Sanshan area. As for who would lead the army and which Xuanji warriors they were, they didn't know.

After reading it, Chen Chuan thought for a while. If the enemy really intended to capture the Sanshan area, the army was only secondary. The upper-level forces they gathered must not be small, otherwise they would not be able to hold it after the attack.

He couldn't help but think of the General Su Kuo who was in charge of the Eastern Expedition. If there really was a mysterious warrior at the level of Changshengguan on the opposite side, theoretically, all the fighters in Jibei Road combined would not be his match.

But now they have control of the rift, and if the other side can come over from that side, then they can also go over from this side.

He reached out and took the boundary pass, and sent a message to the central city at that time. Then he said to the driver: "Go to Jiaoshan."

The armored vehicle immediately turned around and headed towards Jiaoshan, and behind it, two transport vehicles carrying Zarnik and two other men also followed.

Xu Chan had been waiting in a combat airship above the central city of Jibei Road. After receiving the news from Chen Chuan, he looked forward and said in a deep voice, "Target Yangzhi Jiaoshan, full speed ahead."

In the South City Industrial Zone, Mr. Zhuan also received a telegram. After reading it, he picked up the mask that had been restored to its original appearance, put it on, stood up, and said, "Lao Tang, it's time for us to set off."

The mask said, "I say, is there any big fish this time?"

Mr. Zhuan said in a deep voice: "There is a crack in the secret treasure, it will never be that simple." Mr. Tang said: "That's right."

Mr. Zhuan said: "Also, I always feel a little uneasy."

The mask said, "You mean?"

Mr. Zhuan said, "Maybe it's confirmed this time." He reached out, picked up a suitcase, and walked out of the warehouse. As soon as he got outside, the sound of propeller blades came from above his head.

At the foot of Jiaoshan Mountain, He Fen and a group of members of the Processing Bureau were waiting there, looking forward from time to time. Not long after, he saw an armed convoy driving over from a distance.

He was greatly encouraged and immediately ordered his men to line up on both sides while he went forward to meet the enemy.

When the convoy arrived in front, it slowly stopped. The attendant came down and opened the door. Chen Chuan got out of the car, and Zarnik and two others also got out of the transport vehicle at the back, following behind him, one on the left and one on the right.

These two men are fighters with different appearances. After replenishing their nutrition, their normal height alone reaches about four meters. Coupled with their innate wildness and bloodiness, they bring a great sense of oppression to the people present.

He Fen endured the discomfort, walked up and saluted, saying, "Director."

Chen Chuan returned the greeting and said, "Old He, well done."

He Fen was secretly delighted. He stood at attention and said respectfully, "Director, this is what I should do." After a pause, he continued, "I just sent someone to contact the two investigators. According to the information I have received, they are safe and sound. They just went down the mountain from another path. Communication there is inconvenient. I have sent a car to pick them up."

Chen Chuan nodded. Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound coming from the boundary. He looked around and asked, "Is the field here connected?"

"Yes."

He Fen said: "Zhu Zhengzhang has long said that Jiaoshan is also our Yangzhi territory and cannot be treated differently, so a field transfer station was arranged here early in the morning. This is also the result of the joint efforts of colleagues from top to bottom."

Chen Chuan nodded. Although Director He’s own strength was not very good, he showed enough ability this time.

At this moment, a signal came from the interface. He took a look and connected it. A rough voice came out immediately: "Brother Chen, remember me, I am Hu Kan."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Brother Hu?"

"Hey, isn't it me? This time I was commissioned by the company to come here to assist you. I'm on my way here."

Chen Chuan understood in his heart that after the establishment of the Jibei and Haidong skylines, the two sides also signed a security agreement for mutual support. However, this time it might not be possible to directly use the power of Haidong Road, so he asked for help from the people from the state-owned enterprises.

The situation on the old imperial family side was still unclear, but the more power he gathered, the greater his chances of winning. He said, "Okay, brother, I'll give you a coordinate. Contact me when you get there."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
