Chapter 1187: Deep Ravine Filled with Gold
After Chen Chuan talked with Gui Zihan, he called the team members over and told them to be highly vigilant recently, and even when they were on break, they should try to move around in places with strong security forces.
When everyone heard about the attack on Captain Xie, they all responded in awe.
Yuan Qiyuan said: "Captain, do we need to strengthen the outer defense of the villa? But the villa is very large, and Captain Xie will take a lot of security teams with him every time he goes out, so we may not be able to keep up."
Chen Chuan said, "Captain Xie has already informed the Foreign Affairs Office. In two days, a security team will be stationed near the villa. They will be responsible for monitoring and defending the perimeter. They will patrol on schedule, and you just need to take care of the inner area."
Yuan Qiyuan said: "That will be much easier."
Chen Chuan nodded and looked at everyone. "The Federation is different from the country. There are many sects here, and some of them are very obscure. Everyone should remember to go to the ritual team for inspection on time. Don't be careless."
"Yes!"
After Chen Chuan took care of these, he did not let them disperse immediately, but helped each of them solve some fighting problems.
Last year in Jibei Road, everyone often communicated with each other, learned from each other, and made rapid progress, which was not only reflected in the growth of the alienated organization, but also mainly in fighting skills.
Since coming to the Federation, his main focus has been on guard work, and his skills may have declined compared to before.
However, the resources for cultivation are sufficient, and everyone's cultivation progress has improved to some extent. And the foundation is everything, so the overall combat effectiveness has improved, and they can clearly feel it themselves, which also makes everyone's mental outlook very good and maintain a positive state.
But they inevitably encounter a problem, which is what stage they are at now? How far are they from the next stage? How much effect can these efforts and progress have?
They have almost no idea of this.
But after listening to Chen Chuan's advice, it immediately became clear. Being clear and not being clear about the matter are completely different, and the effect of practice is also very different. When a fighter is full of determination, his alienated organization will also feel this kind of spiritual emotion and release its own potential to push itself forward.
Seeing that everyone was eager to try after hearing this, Chen Chuan knew that they were eager to experience what he had just said. This was the easiest time to make progress, so he simply gave them half a day off.
After everyone left, he returned to his room to practice.
By night, Captain Xie had not yet returned from Aurelia Palace, and the serviceman brought in a document.
Chen Chuan took it and looked at it, feeling slightly refreshed, thinking, "I finally got it."
Ever since he experienced that ceremony that day, he had a feeling in his heart that the other party might have some purpose. If that was the case, they probably wouldn't stop there. So he had to try to understand the other party's situation clearly.
The document in front of him was the information about the original sect that he had commissioned the secret department to investigate and collect.
After he asked the attendant to leave, he began to read it carefully.
The original sect was founded ninety years ago, but it was not well-known at first, just a small sect in the central region. It was not until fifty years ago that it gradually entered the vision of the upper echelons of the federation.
The reason why it thrives, in addition to promoting the expression of extreme desires, is that its main business is to transfer the life force of the human body to other people through certain rituals. This is their core competitiveness. Now, they have made no secret of this matter and have even passed special legislative approval.
Chen Chuan couldn't help but think of some secret esoteric rituals performed secretly in Yangzhi City that had the same effect.
This set of practices is indeed very popular among some powerful people, but the level of ritual behind it is actually very high. Even if some secret religions can do such things, there will be various sequelae.
Although the lower class on the east coast of the Federation relies on implants to live and work just like the west coast, many people at the upper class do not actually believe in implants and are very conservative. What the original sect can provide is exactly what they need, which provides fertile ground for the development of the sect.
The strength of this sect is unknown, but judging from the information revealed, it may not be much worse than the New Light Sect. Just look at the fact that it can make the government legislate specifically for itself, and even the rivers that run through the entire city have its rituals. This is enough to show the power of this sect, and it is impossible to crush it in one go.
In this way, the idea is simple. First, accumulate strength, and then try to solve it when you are strong enough, but you cannot let this sect interfere with you first.
He is not alone now, but a member of a visiting delegation. It should be possible to put pressure on the other side by leveraging the power of the visiting delegation and Dashun.
But this alone is not enough, because the federal government itself is made up of individuals and organizations, and those who hold power can cause a lot of trouble and interference by just making some small moves.
He didn't like the other party's active retreat, so he had to do something to ensure that the other party would have no time to pay attention to him for the time being.
He looked at the information. A sect like this definitely had its own cracks, but most of the cracks in sects with a long history were recognized by the government because they had experienced the transition from the old era to the new era.
After the advent of the new era, under the Grand Alliance Agreement, it is not allowed to maintain long-term rifts privately. The original sect has only been rising for 40 to 50 years. It is impossible to have rifts before, and it does not have the ability to maintain them. If it can be proved that there are hidden rifts, there is reason to let the international investigation team intervene in the investigation, and then whether to exert pressure or directly intervene with force can be determined according to the situation.
Of course, the Federation may have condoned the existence of the rift, but this is fine if it happens behind the scenes. Once it is brought to the surface, there is no way it will be publicly acknowledged.
He looked around and found that the Primitive Sect now had two sect bases in the capital. One of them was located in the former site of the temple of the First People, and it had now been transformed into its nominal headquarters. It was semi-open to the public, but one had to have a certain status and make an appointment in advance to enter.
Another stronghold is on a peninsula on the north shore of Lake Cuiklan.
Especially the latter one, based on his experience, he believed that there was most likely a crack in that place.
This would require checking, and he certainly couldn't do it himself, as a member of the delegation had to report wherever he went. But he had a simpler way.
He spread out his palms, and after a while, a seed wrapped in purple air flew up. After concentrating his mind on it for a moment, he released it.
This seed can attach itself to an ownerless body and be used to investigate the situation. If it can be confirmed, action can be taken immediately.
Of course, if this method succeeds, it would be great, but if it doesn't, there are other ways.
There are many companies and mercenary teams around the federal capital, and there are many people willing to do things for money. It's just that this may lead to the primitive sect knowing that he is investigating them, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, whether it is clear or not, the other party will target him anyway.
While he was counterattacking, the ruins of the first people were located at the north end of the central city, inside the Great Staircase Temple.
In the empty stone hall, seven people wearing black robes with gold thread sat on stone seats, with only their eyes exposed. Under the stairs, there was a brazier burning with golden flames.
There was a man wearing a painted mask below, looking up and talking.
"According to our ritual, the flame he emitted was the brightest. Unfortunately, he seemed to have discovered something, which resulted in the ritual not being completed successfully. But we think..."
He paused, "This person is very close to the 'golden trait'."
Someone at the table said, "So he could be a 'Golden Son'?"
The masked man said, "Yes, we think it's entirely possible."
The eyes of the person sitting there became hot. The so-called "Son of Gold" was a theory that existed within their sect.
They believe that the coming of the big bombardment will intensify the alienation of all living things, especially humans. Therefore, there will inevitably be a small number of highly alienated variants on a global scale. They want to discover these people because such people have extraordinary significance in the sect.
At present, they have found several suspected targets within the federal scope, but unfortunately the one that best meets the requirements was finally controlled by the federal government, and they are unable to intervene.
They are extremely fanatical in their pursuit of the "Golden Son".
One of the people sitting there said, "If he is, how can we get him?"
The other party is a member of the Dashun visiting group. If we take direct action, it will mean a war, which the Federation will absolutely not allow.
The masked man said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we currently have a plan. Two years ago, the New Light Church invited us to join the siege, but we did not explicitly agree. Due to the sabotage of the Dashun delegation and the killing of the originally arranged personnel by that person, this siege could not be organized due to an extreme lack of manpower."
It makes sense for the original sect to reject this matter. The West Coast has always been the territory of several sects such as the New Light Sect. Although the original sect is also spreading there, in the end, greater benefits will definitely be seized by the New Light Sect, so they have little interest in this.
"I think we can restart this plan. Given the importance that the Dashun delegation attaches to Kavatua, they will probably send him over for support. That will be our chance."
The people at the table looked at each other, and one of them said, "Although this is feasible, we must first prove that he really has the 'golden characteristics'. If he doesn't, our efforts will not be rewarded enough."
The masked man bowed and said, "Yes, we have taken this into consideration. We will try to arrange another test in the near future. Please wait for a moment."
