Chapter 4240 Great Thunderclap Temple
Jin Xingyuan, with his fiery temper, was publicly humiliated by this junior, Xiao Pang, and his anger flared up instantly.
The magic sword on his body emitted a crisp sound and appeared directly above his head.
"You fat bastard, I'll stab you to death!"
Jin Xingyuan was about to make a move when Elder Dong and Elder Wang quickly stepped forward and grabbed Jin Xingyuan's arms from both sides.
"Oh dear, Mr. Jin, you're such a senior, why are you getting angry with these kids? That fat guy isn't very bright, he's always been a loose tongue, please don't take it to heart," Mr. Wang quickly said.
“Yes, Mr. Jin, with your status, if you really got into a fight with these kids, you’d be laughed at to death. Minister Tang would definitely be very unhappy if he found out. Let’s not stoop to their level,” Mr. Dong comforted Mr. Jin from the side.
In fact, Jin Xingyuan really didn't dare to make a move; everyone was busy carrying out their missions.
If Jin Xingyuan were to attack us now, it would definitely delay our important business. If the Special Investigation Team were to blame us, Jin Xingyuan wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility. Besides, if he really attacked us, that would be incredibly shameless. For someone of his seniority to bully us juniors would be a laughing stock.
Jin Xingyuan was willing to accept the offer, and immediately snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the sake of Elder Wang and Elder Dong, I would have made you, fat man, lose your head today."
"Oh my, I'm so scared! How come you have such a big face? Do Old Wang and Old Dong need your face?" Little Fatty said in his usual cheeky manner.
This angered Jin Xingyuan again. We don't know why Jin Xingyuan, at his age, is like a powder keg, ready to explode at the slightest provocation.
The main problem is that Little Fatty is really infuriating. If I were Jin Xingyuan, I would have already taken action.
As expected, Venus, who had just calmed down a little, immediately flew into a rage again.
Old Dong and Old Wang held onto Jin Xingyuan's arms tightly, not daring to let go for even a moment.
"Old Jin, Old Jin, we still have a mission. The plane is about to take off, we can't delay important matters. Whatever it is, we can talk about it after we finish our business." As Old Dong spoke, he grabbed Jin Xingyuan's arm and pulled him toward the plane.
Jin Xingyuan had no choice but to back down and walked straight towards the plane.
We all followed closely behind and boarded the plane together.
As we walked, we all gave Little Fatty a thumbs up, praising his witty retort.
From now on, Little Fatty will be our Sixth Regiment's mouth double; he'll be in charge of all the roasting.
Little Fatty may be silent, but once he opens his mouth, he's sure to infuriate people.
After boarding the plane, we saw that Mr. Dong and Mr. Wang had pulled Jin Xingyuan to the very back of the plane, far away from us, as if they were afraid that he would attack us on the plane.
We didn't know what the mission was this time. After we each found a place to sit, the plane prepared for takeoff.
At this moment, a member of the special investigation team came over and told us that our destination was Pingdingshan in Henan Province, and we would find out the specific mission once we arrived.
Upon hearing that we were going to Henan Province, which is Li Banxian's hometown, we realized that since we had troubled him last time, we couldn't very well invite him to go again this time.
Before the plane took off, the slovenly Taoist priest suggested calling Li Chao to come with them. He'd failed to trick him last time, but this time he'd have to show him what the wickedness of the human heart truly meant.
Li Chao has to be tricked, but not all at once. He has to be tricked in batches, step by step. Last time, he made a lot of money and got a taste of the sweetness. This time, he has to do some hard work. Not only will he not make money, but he might also lose his life. There's no way he won't come.
Immediately, just as the plane was about to take off, the slovenly Taoist priest sent out a communication talisman: "Brother Chao, meet me in Pingdingshan, Henan Province, there's a big job coming up."
"Received, I'll be right there, wait for me." Li Chao agreed without hesitation.
The group exchanged knowing smiles; Li Chao had finally gotten on the wrong track.
Once he's been hanging around with us for a while, it'll be hard for him to break free.
We chatted briefly, then sat down and dozed off. Soon after, the plane roared to life and began to take off.
It felt like only about an hour before the plane landed.
As soon as we got off the plane, a minibus stopped downstairs and took us directly to the scene of the incident.
Previously, the special investigation team used dilapidated vans for operations, but this time it was different; they had switched to minibuses.
At this point, the special investigation team was no longer keeping a low profile, probably because the situation was so urgent that they had no time to be discreet.
We took a bus and arrived at a very remote place in Pingdingshan.
When we arrived at the location, we found that quite a few people had already gathered there, including members of the special investigation team, as well as monks and Taoist priests.
There were a few particularly conspicuous old Taoist priests, all with white hair and beards, and they looked to be over a hundred years old. I asked someone from the special investigation team and learned that those old Taoist priests were all cultivators from Lao Jun Mountain, and each of them was extremely powerful.
This is clearly a big operation; they've invited all the masters from Laojun Mountain who rarely come down from the mountain.
Not long after we arrived, Xiao Wang suddenly appeared in front of us and said that we should come with him because he wanted to have a brief meeting. Tang Shangning was not far from here.
We followed Xiao Wang to a small village. There wasn't a single villager in sight; they had probably all been evacuated.
They must have been requisitioned by the special investigation team by now.
We followed Xiao Wang to a large courtyard, where quite a few people had gathered.
After arriving here, Tang Shangning glanced in our direction and then went into a room.
After receiving a phone call, Xiao Wang walked over to us and asked us to send a representative to come in with him for a meeting.
There's no one else but me, after all, I'm the section chief of the Special Investigation Team's headquarters.
I told them to wait a moment, and then followed Xiao Wang into the room.
Once inside, they found many leaders of the special investigation team, as well as seven or eight people in white Zhongshan suits, and the old Taoist priests from Laojun Mountain were also there.
Tang Shangning stood at the front, his expression solemn, and said, “Since everyone is here, I will no longer hide anything from you. We have received a secret notification that Yiguandao is taking action at the Daleiyin Temple in Pingdingshan. Their goal is to steal the relics of the ancient Buddha Dipankara, which have been treasured in the temple for thousands of years. These relics are located under the Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus on the thirteenth floor of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. Our mission is to stop Yiguandao’s operation and prevent them from obtaining anything.”
“How come we didn’t know that there were relics of the ancient Buddha Dipankara in the Great Thunderclap Temple?” an old Taoist priest from Laojun Mountain asked, standing up.
