Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 680 Deterrence
Chen Chuan stopped at the street corner. About two hundred meters away, across a boulevard and a parking lot, was the main entrance of the Tianshu Gang.

The architectural style of the Tianshu Gang tends to be that of the old dynasty, with flying eaves, black tiles and red doors. On the six-pillar archway in front there is a copper plaque with cloud and thunder patterns, with the two words "Tianshu" inscribed on it.

There are fully armed security guards guarding the main entrance, and there are patrols inside and outside. Although it is a gang, the Tianshu Gang has its own commission and security company, and the people responsible for security protection are very professional.

Behind the main gate is a martial arts arena that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. At this moment, there are many tourists and pedestrians on the square, as well as some young people who come here to learn fighting skills.

The Tianshu Gang does not prohibit tourists from visiting the gang. Anyone from outside can visit the foot of the mountain. The main business of the gang is to train fighters. They do not look at your background or talent, nor do they care whether you can practice anything. There is no time limit. As long as you pay, they can teach you all kinds of skills. Therefore, there is an endless stream of people coming here to learn every day.

Only those who are particularly outstanding will be recruited by the gang's top leaders, but the gang's core forces are all trained by the gang itself.

Chen Chuan looked back. Behind the square was a straight stone path that went up from the central axis of the main gate to the main building, Changsheng Pavilion, on the top of the mountain. The hill was about 400 meters high. With his eyesight, he could see the two characters "Changsheng" written in a flamboyant style on the plaque in front of him.

He pulled a polished stone ball from his pocket.

He held it with his hand, then stared at the top of the mountain. He turned sideways, moved one foot slightly backward, and then the alienated tissue in his body twisted and stretched layer by layer, and suddenly threw it towards there.

There was a sudden explosion sound in the air, followed by a long whistle. In an instant, the stone passed through the street and the parking lot, entered through the main gate of the Tianshu Gang, crossed the square, and rushed all the way to the rear!
Pedestrians in the square and on the street subconsciously covered their ears, and the security soldiers were startled and put on alert.

However, before they could react, the streak in the air had already soared upwards along the mountain path. The bushes and gravel on both sides, and even the dust in the air, were blown up by the strong airflow. Wherever it passed, the atmosphere seemed to be torn into an invisible tunnel.

As the trace passed through the first building on the mountain, the broken window glass began to shake, and some of them were directly shattered and fell to the ground with a crash.

The servants inside were all startled and couldn't help but cover their ears and look around, not knowing what was going on.

Some fighters who were training also stopped and looked for the source in confusion, but they only saw a lot of burnt leaves that turned into circles of debris spinning behind the pavilion, faintly forming an invisible track that spread to a higher place.

At this time, the stone had reached the front of Changsheng Pavilion. It brushed past the roof tiles above the plaque, and a groove spreading outward was neatly plowed out of the tiles. Countless broken tiles burst out and finally rushed into the open main room.

There was a snap.

Yu Hongming stretched out his hand and caught the stone firmly, but his thick white eyebrows twitched. He glanced at the field screen and saw Chen Chuan standing there and looking up, as if the latter was staring at him.

Yue Hongtao watched this scene through the field screen and said coldly: "This is a greeting to us."

Yu Hongming nodded and said, "It's very useful."

Yue Hongtao immediately said with some disapproval: "Is that all you can do?" It is not difficult to throw the stone from the bottom of the mountain to here. Not to mention them, even a third-level fighter with some ability can do it.

Yu Hongming shook his head: "He asked me to catch it." As he said that, he spread out his palm and saw an intact stone lying quietly in his palm.

Yue Hongtao was stunned at first, then his expression changed slightly.

Indeed, it seems that it is not difficult to just throw the stone, and it is not difficult to create destructive power, but in the end, the force on it can be suddenly disappeared, and it can be delivered to them intact. This requires not only the force itself, but also a certain amount of spiritual power to attach to it.

Anyone who can achieve this must be a fighter who has mastered the power of the mind, and there is a chance that he may even be better than that.

Yu Hongming looked at the stone, which was just an ordinary polished stone. There was no sign of wear and tear on it. It was cold, and there was not even a trace of the temperature from the friction. This was a measure of propriety, a display of force, but also a warning to them to be careful. He praised sincerely, "Great."

Yue Hongtao stared at it for a while without saying anything else.

Yu Hongming sighed and said, "I didn't expect that after Xu Chan, there would be another person like him, who is not even 20 years old." He shook his head, "I am getting more and more confused about the world today."

"What's not clear?"

Yue Hongtao said coldly: "As long as you follow the person at the helm, you will never take a detour or fall."

Yu Hongming lamented, “But the person at the helm may not be the one who can actually reach the shore.”

Yue Hongtao did not argue with him on this point. They had always had disagreements here, and he did not want to cause discord within the gang, so he just asked, "What are you going to do?"

Yu Hongming said: "It's okay to give in first. Is there any need to fight? What can you get?" Yue Hongtao snorted.

Yu Hongming looked outside. They were both old now and had changed their mindsets. Not to mention him, Yue Hongtao was determined to fight for it. But now, face, pride, honor and disgrace all seemed meaningless.

In the past hundred years, he has witnessed the collapse of the old era and the arrival of the new era. He has seen too many ups and downs and seen many people and things rise and fall. He can now pass on his past experiences and insights to the younger generations, but if he were asked to do it himself, he would no longer be able to do it.

Chen Chuan waited outside for a long time, but he never saw anyone from the Tianshu Gang come out, nor did he see any movement, so he retracted his gaze, turned around and left, and came back to Xu Chan who was waiting there, and said, "Captain Xu, let's go."

Xu Chan said with emotion: "This method is quite good."

This move can be regarded as a slap in the face, but it is more subtle, and people who are not at a certain level cannot understand it, but the two elders should understand what they mean. Now that no one has come to invite them, and there is no response, it means that they have tacitly agreed not to make a statement, which is actually a sign of weakness.

After the two of them got into their respective cars, Chen Chuan received a message from Xu Chan in the Jieping: "Manager Chen, I know a good place. I'll invite you after I come back from the Jiaorong Land."

Chen Chuan said hello.

He started the Gard and drove back. On the way, he checked Yao Kang from the Law Courts mentioned by Xu Chan. There was indeed a third-level fighter with a team responsible for 24-hour protection.

There won't be any problems inside the Law Courts, but the key is outside. If someone is intentionally targeting us, many situations will be difficult to predict.

He thought about it and said, "Andun, put this person under protection and surveillance. I want to know his information at all times. Report any suspicious situation to me immediately."

"An Dun received."

Unlike Xu Chan, as the chief of investigation, he has more resources to use. He can just let Andun pay attention to this side. This is much better than simply devoting manpower. If he only pays attention to one person, not many field resources will be used.

After returning to Wuding District, he took the time to visit Chen Xiaojin and gave him some instructions on the follow-up. Around three o'clock in the afternoon, there was news from the information team.

A report was sent over, saying that based on the traces of underground passages and digging worms, they had found several suspected storage locations of high-energy nutrients, and they had also identified several locations, believing that there was a certain probability that the queen worm would be present nearby.

After reading it, Chen Chuan knew that the sooner this matter was handled, the better, so he immediately notified Yuan Qiyuan and the other three members of the other team, and asked the nearby city security to seal off the suspicious area and evacuate the crowd in advance.

He arrived at the scene within three quarters of an hour, and the other team members arrived at about the same time. After arriving at the scene, they immediately dispersed and searched according to the execution plan given by Andun.

Chen Chuan stood on an open ground while Chao Ming hovered in the sky.

The purpose this time is very clear, which is to find and destroy the burrowing queen. In fact, if it is just that queen, the strength of Yuan Qiyuan and the other two is enough to deal with it, but it is hard to say whether the "captain" who has never appeared will show up.

This person must be very strong and it is impossible for three people to deal with him, so he must be present.

It began to drizzle at this time, and soon the streets became wet. The holes that had been dug soon became muddy, which interfered with the search operation. However, as the fighting creatures went deeper into the newly searched passages, noises were soon heard from inside.

One by one, the newly bred larvae were found and quickly killed by the experienced team members. This showed that they were looking in the right direction and the mother insect was most likely nearby.

Chen Chuan was paying attention to the actions in every corner through the interface. At this time, Yuan Qiyuan's excited voice came over, "Captain, we found something! This seems to be a warehouse..."

As he spoke, several photos were sent over.

Chen Chuan took a look and saw that this place was a simple house from the outside. There was nothing special about it. After opening the door, he saw normal furniture arrangements.

However, behind a row of soft plastic curtains there is a compartment filled with a number of cans of high-energy nutritional supplements, which seem to fill up an entire wall. It can be seen that there were more than so many cans originally, and a large number of opened cans were abandoned on the spot, and there was also a huge hole on the ground.

After Chen Chuan read it, he immediately stopped Jie Ping and said, "Andun, send the combat creatures in to investigate. Also, check the identity of the owner of the house and the source of these high-energy nutrients."
