Chapter 75: Trade, Arrest

In the Xia City outskirts, in a certain warehouse, several valiant-looking men were surrounding another man who looked to be in his forties.

This man had a strong and powerful body. He was bald with Buddhist dotted burn scars on his head, and the tightly strung muscles covering his entire body seemed to be storing an explosive power.

“Xu Chengzhi still hasn’t made contact?” the middle-aged man asked in a clear, booming voice.

A few of the other valiant-looking men shook their heads.

“He’s really always screwing things up!” the middle-aged man spat through gritted teeth.

Within the Flying Dragon Sect, aside from the overseas Chen family, there were many other minor sects. Among these, Xu Chengzhi was descended from, and a disciple of, the Nanyang Chinese.

Still, he could not compare to Chen Jiashang, who had become a martial arts legend at a tender age, and while Chen Jiashang was active, he had been basically overlooked.

Back then, Chen Jiashang was generally recognized by all as the future head of the sect, and the minor sects accepted him as their joint leader.

However, Chen Jiashang had experienced a crushing defeat in his first fight on Huaxia mainland soil. He was crippled, having lost his martial arts ability, by a master from the Agency of Special Affairs and captured. His whereabouts were currently unknown.

This made an impression on all the Flying Dragon Sect members about the unplumbed depths of Huaxia. During this time, the Flying Dragon Sect was still desperately searching for the person who had initially captured Chen Jiashang.

While the Flying Dragon Sect was no match for the entire Agency of Special Affairs, they were still confident in dealing with a single masterful individual, even if that person was a martial arts legend.

And after Chen Jiashang’s arrest, many of the preeminent young talents in the Flying Dragon Sect rose to vie for the top spot.

Xu Chengzhi was one of the candidates nominated by a minor sect. Still, from the point of view of this middle-aged man, he was basically a worthless piece of trash who could not get anything done right.

Even though that minor sect had expended a huge effort and amassed countless resources, Xu Chengzhi had only just managed to enter Level Five. If it was not for the world changing and the revival of spirit qi, if things were like how they used to be in the past, he would never be able to reach the Level Six martial arts legend level in this lifetime.

For this operation, that minor sect had pushed Xu Chengzhi to accompany them to the Huaxia mainland. However, not long after they arrived, he had gone off merrymaking.

Even the middle-aged man had not dared to make a scene in this land of fierce competition. He was well aware of the fearsome power of the Agency of Special Affairs and had even exchanged blows with some of their masters.

“Forget it. We don’t need to wait for him,” the middle-aged man announced. “If he wants to risk his life, let him do so. Once we’ve completed the trade, we’re pulling out of Huaxia immediately!”

The rest of the men all nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, at this moment, the main doors of the warehouse were pushed open, and a row of several people strode in.

The middle-aged man raised his head to look, and he saw a group of men and women entering, each wearing different types of clothes. They were all clustered around an older man in a Chinese robe, who strode in with wide steps.

When the old man in the Chinese robe saw the middle-aged man, he said with a laugh, “The Iron-armed Arhat Yin Tianming of the Flying Dragon Sect, I’ve heard all about you!”

“So the person we are trading with is you, Master Ying. When I was in Nanyang, I’d also frequently heard of Master Ying’s exploits!” the middle-aged man replied as he cupped his hands respectfully.

He took a glance behind the old man called Master Ying, where his group of followers was each carrying a bunch of boxes.

“You’ve brought the goods then!” Yin Tianming said.

Master Ying nodded, and gave a casual wave, saying, “It’s all here in these boxes. There are five items in total, and the price is 200 million. I’ll give you the goods when you give me the money!”

“Not a problem!”

Yin Tianming nodded agreeably, then got his subordinates to open the boxes and inspect the goods.

He was not afraid of being cheated, because the other party was affiliated with a very powerful character, and they would not pull something underhanded for just the small sum of 200 million.

To the Flying Dragon Sect, this trade was also something like a trial run. Once they had confirmed that there were no issues, the trades between the two parties would grow larger in the future.

All of a sudden, both Yin Tianming and Master Ying stopped in their tracks, as though they sensed something, looking each other in the eye.

“Is that someone you sent?” the two men asked each other simultaneously.

Still, the two quickly eliminated the possibility of such a thing happening. They were trying to smuggle goods here, and if they were caught by the Agency of Special Affairs, they would be in a lot of trouble.

The two parties would not risk getting caught here for just 200 million.

“Go out and take a look. Find out who it is, and deal with them!”

Yin Tianming pointed at one of his subordinates, giving the order.

At the same time, Master Ying also pointed to one of the girls dressed in light clothes, asking her to go along with the man and take a look.

However, the deal between the two parties had been put on hold because of this.

At this time, in the forests outside the warehouse, a few figures were hidden in the shadows, approaching at a slow pace.

“Lin Suo, should we notify the Agency? There’s only a few of us here now, and if they really are a smuggling ring, they could be armed with heavy firepower!” one of the figures asked with some worry.

“We’ve only just received this information, and there’s no time now to inform the Agency. Anyway, it’s just a few smugglers, you’ll be fine as long as you follow me!” the person leading the group replied. One could tell from her voice that she was a woman, and she spoke with a powerful tone.

As soon as she said this, the group of figures had already reached the vicinity of the warehouse.

They were all wearing police uniforms, and they were all members of the police.

The woman in the lead was around 27 or 28 years old, with a tall figure and a pleasant appearance, and her features gave of a heroic feeling.

Suddenly, at that moment, the doors to the warehouse were opened, and two figures leapt out.

“Arrest them!” the female police leader ordered.

However, the instant she opened her mouth, the woman in light clothing, who came out from the warehouse, immediately made her move, sending a palm flying towards the policewoman at lightning speed.

The policewoman’s reactions were fast enough to keep up, and she casually put up her guard, blocking the fearsome palm strike.

Following up quickly, she sent one of her long legs sweeping out like a whip.

The woman in light clothes quickly retreated backward at once. She had to take several steps back to avoid the policewoman’s whip-like kick.

The two women looked at each other, and both understood that their opponent was a master, not an ordinary fighter.

“You’re definitely not an ordinary smuggling ring!” the policewoman accused.

She was very confident in her own strength, as she had become a Huajin Master since a young age, and was one of the outstanding elites in her sect.

Yet now, this woman who had randomly come out was actually no weaker than her and was also a Huajin Master. A normal smuggling ring would not have such a powerful master with them.

Before she had come here, the worst-case scenario that she had considered was that the smuggling ring would have smugglers with guns, but she never thought that the most dangerous elements might be that their martial arts experts.

In this brief span of time, the team of police she brought with her had already been beaten by the other valiant-looking man and were down on the ground.

It was another Huajin Master!

The police she brought with her had all learned grappling and fighting skills, but compared to a real Huajin Master, the difference in strength was insurmountable.
