Fishing the Myriad Heavens Chapter 132

"Who was the one who sent this post! Surrender yourself immediately and you still may be dealt with leniently!"

The station chief drummed his fingers on the table as he surveyed the bunch of mute police officers before him with a dark expression.

A small commotion arose as everyone started speaking together and looked at each other uneasily. After some time, a young officer stood out. "I was the one who sent the post, Sir. But I really didn't know that the results would be so shocking, and that the post would go viral so quickly. That was not my intent, Sir."

"Good. You can leave now. Don't bother showing up to work tomorrow!"

The station chief growled angrily.

Because of this one idiot, he was forced to spend the entire night last night groveling and acting like a grandson in front of the higher-ups.

The moment the higher ups saw the post, the station's telephone nearly exploded with the number of incoming furious calls!

The chief of the department of public security was the first one to call to give him a scolding. Their station was directly taken off the case and ordered to seal up the entire area completely. Not a single civilian was allowed to take one step into the area!

In order words, the only part they were going to have in this case was as a guard dog. Their job was to remove any external factors for the higher-ups!

No matter what, he was the station chief of a city police station. When had he ever been treated in such a wretched manner before? But those people each had more authority than the other; none of them were people he could afford to offend!

The next day, a large number of people from large clans and huge companies had arrived in Qingcheng. They were led by the people from the police station towards the crime scene.

The special department of public security had also gathered some people and was currently heading towards Qing Ling Village with two Evolved Jing masters in the lead.

Every city had the two forces of light and darkness. The police naturally belonged to the light. The forces in the shadows were instead made up of a bunch of people with special skills. They could be considered as mercenaries hired by the state.

Every time something came up that couldn't be solved using normal methods, these people would be called up. Once the matter was settled, they would be paid according to the difficulty of the mission.

Their main job this time was to keep an eye on the people from those big clans and not allow them to wreak havoc as they pleased.

The people of Qing Ling Village were going about their daily affairs when numerous expensive cars rolled up.

"What's the big occasion today? There's actually so many important characters turning up?"

"Too luxurious! Any of those cars is worth millions of dollars!"

"Look, they're all heading towards the same direction. Perhaps something big has happened. Let's follow them and join in the fun!"

A small crowd began to follow after the large clans from far away, not daring to draw too close to them.

The area around the small cave had been cordoned off with police tape for a radius of 1,000 meters. Every ten meters, there would be a police officer standing guard by the tape.

"h.e.l.lo, I am a reporter from Qingcheng Daily. Is it true that an Awakened Ancient Tree had been found inside? Two people were also killed by it?"

A reporter shoved her microphone excitedly into the nose of a police officer standing guard and asked. Seeing that she's the only journalist from the Qingcheng newspaper section, she couldn't be happier about it. This was a big story after all!

Getting a raise was no longer a dream once this news gets published!

"Sorry, I'm not allowed to comment."

The officer replied expressionlessly.

"Then, let us go in to investigate ourselves."

A few other reporters had also arrived with numerous large cameras behind them. They moved around the police officer and were trying to climb over the police tape.

"Unauthorized personnel are not allowed inside!"

A small group of police quickly surged forward to block the reporters.

"Hey! We're reporters! We have the rights to information!"

The reporters began to get angry. With their status, which one of them was not treated warmly wherever they went?

"If I say that no one's allowed to enter, then no one's allowed to enter! If you insist on barging in, prepare to get your company to bail you out from the station later!"

The leading officer was also getting a huge headache. The orders had come down from the chief, so he had no choice but to enforce it.

"Eh? EH?! Why are they allowed to enter?" A reporter demanded as he pointed at a bunch of people filing past the police tape not far way.

"Those people are the authorized personnel!" The officer felt a slight burning sensation on his face after being contradicted so quickly after his words left his mouth. However, he still had to harden his scalp righteously.

The numerous reporters almost clapped in amazement. How could an honest-looking police officer like this possess such a thick face? He didn't even blush when speaking such bullsh*t aloud!

A large group filled with nosy villagers had also formed around the barrier. They were all discussing fervently with excitement on their faces, as if they were prepared to watch a great show.

***

Bei Feng had just come down the mountain after his morning cultivation. He was currently enjoying a plate of sas.h.i.+mi with a big bowl of amber-colored wine beside him.

A bite of the most delicious fish in the world, paired with a sip of a fragrant wine. Such a cozy life was probably all one needs.

Insatiable and Black Hole were each gorging on a bowl of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King innards. With just a few mouthfuls, they were lying flat on their backs with their tongues lolling out from being too full.

Ultimately, the grade of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat was still too high for these two pups. Just a tiny bit of the energy in the creature's meat was enough for them to feel overly bloated.

Bei Feng left the security of the mansion to his newly attained robot and instructed it to directly knock out any trespa.s.sers and leave it for him to settle when he returns.

He walked out of the mansion slowly with thoughts of buying a nice car. It was too inconvenient to get around without a ride of his own!

'Eh? What's going on in front? Why are there so many police?'

Bei Feng looked over with some shock. A large area in front had been cordoned off with police tapes. There was even a host of reporters swarming the area!

Song Wen and Song Qing were now standing outside the cordoned area with constipated expressions on their faces. This time, they've really suffered a huge loss. Not only did they not get any root, they even ended up with a dead guy on their hands! If they do not spend at least 800,000 to a million yuan, this matter will not be easily resolved.

"F*ck! That brat is actually here too?!"

Song Qing gasped aloud as he spotted Bei Feng in the distance. With an angry huff, he charged towards him!

"Brat! Did you dupe us? Did you really dig up the tree root here?!"

Song Qing was so furious that his finger was literally touching Bei Feng's nose as he pointed accusingly.

"Right, I found it here. Also, take your hand out of my face," Bei Feng's voice didn't even ripple. He replied calmly and looked at Song Qing in disinterest.

Song Qing cleared his throat and took an unsteady step backwards. Although Bei Feng did not show any particularly hostile expression, Song Qing still felt a cold pressure surging towards him, causing him to drop his finger unconsciously.

Of course, Song Qing did not know that this feeling of pressure was the result of the huge intrinsic difference in the levels between the two living creatures. "Because of what you said, my grandfather hired some men to dig for the root. In the end, someone ended up dead, stabbed to death by a root!"

Song Qing felt that everything was Bei Feng's fault. If he hadn't told his grandfather that he had dug up the root at that cursed place, why would his grandfather send people to dig for it? If he hadn't sent the workers to dig here, no one would have died!

"What's that got to do with me?" Bei Feng uttered coldly and walked around Song Qing. I didn't tell you to dig there. You did, something bad happened, and now you come and blame me? What a joke!

'Oh? What strong blood and Qi these people have!'

Bei Feng took a few steps forward and narrowed his eyes at the group of people inside the cordoned area.

None of the people in that group was weak. When they were all gathered together like this, their energies stood out like a bonfire on a moonless night!

"Primordial... Heavenly Tree?"

A few distinct words floated into Bei Feng's ear. Due to the large distance, he could only catch a few words which kept on being repeated among the group. But that was enough to catch his interest.

'Eh? That kid is here as well?' Wu Zong Xing was walking into the area with a group of Nie family experts when he noticed Bei Feng standing nearby.

"Hey kid, this place is dangerous, you should hurry and leave," Wu Zong Xing walked up to Bei Feng.

'En?'

"Alright, I understand."

Bei Feng nodded at the old fellow.

Even the old 'Uncle Wu' who had come with Nie Yun the last time was here. And with what Song Qing said about a killer root and the words Primordial Heavenly Tree, Bei Feng was able to put two and two together. His excitement rose with his thoughts. These people with powerful blood and Qi were obviously here for that so-called Primordial Heavenly Tree!

'Who would have thought that even planet Earth wold have some natural treasures? Hmm... it's such a big planet anyway, so it's not strange for something like that to exist. I'd like to see what grade of treasure this so-called Heavenly Tree is!'

Bei Feng decided to stick a foot into the matter. After all, he didn't feel that this bunch of old fogies was more powerful than him by much!
