After the identity of Xiao Yefeng was confirmed, Chun Nanfeng finally realized that Xiao Yefeng was a reserve member of the Metaphysics Society. It was only then that Chun Nanfeng felt relieved enough to recount the entire story.
Although Xiao Yefeng didn't quite understand what being a reserve member meant and had no idea what this role entailed, he gradually grasped the situation through the explanations from Ji Min and Chun Nanfeng. He learned that this five-person team led by Chun Nanfeng was a sharp sword under the peak authority of Huaxia, codenamed National Security.
Under National Security, this team was referred to as Three Groups. Chun Nanfeng didn’t elaborate further, and neither did Xiao Yefeng ask. However, he knew that the strongest team in Huaxia wasn’t National Security but rather the Zodiac Team led by a prominent figure. Perhaps Chun Nanfeng was unaware of this, or maybe he thought Xiao Yefeng didn’t know. Regardless, in such circumstances, it seemed like the most prudent way to handle things.
The three of them discussed the recent events extensively. It turned out that Yuan Xun had long been on the arrest list of National Security Team Three. The National Security Team was responsible for dealing with individuals who were often difficult to apprehend, such as Ancient Warriors from Mingjing or other similarly skilled individuals. Yuan Xun's appearance had already been detected by Team Three; they had just been struggling with the challenges of capturing him.
It was only when a conflict broke out with the West that Team Three decided to take action, intending to capture Xiao Yefeng, an unverified skilled individual. This led to everything that had just transpired. Additionally, this operation served as an assessment for new member Ji Min and another team member, which is why Xiao Ling was in charge. Little did they expect that Xiao Ling's competitive spirit would nearly endanger Chun Nanfeng.
At this point, the three had arrived at the front of the helicopter. After learning about their identities, Xiao Yefeng tossed Yuan Xun's longsword to Chun Nanfeng and said, "I'm leaving. You know I'm still preparing for my assessment." With that, he walked over to Yuan Xun, who was trapped by Great Net. When Xiao Yefeng reached out to touch the netting, he immediately felt a sense of weakness as his fingers brushed against it.
The Ability-Blocking Net was indeed remarkable; even the spiritual energy cultivated by a Geomancer could be severed by it. No wonder Yuan Xun remained motionless at that moment. As he searched Yuan Xun's body and found nothing, Xiao Yefeng frowned and asked, "Did you take his things? Is there a flag? That item is very important to me!"
At that moment, Xiao Ling held up a large sealed bag. Upon hearing Xiao Yefeng's words, she quickly took two steps back and shifted her gaze to Chun Nanfeng, who helplessly replied, "Brother, this puts us in a difficult position. To be honest, all confiscated items must be turned over to the state. Otherwise, you can retrieve it after you join the Metaphysics Society. What do you think?"
"What do you think, Brother Zhang?" Xiao Yefeng didn’t respond immediately but instead focused on seeking Zhang Chuanhai’s opinion after entering Spirit Platform. If Zhang disagreed, Xiao Yefeng wouldn’t give up even if he had to resort to force.
"Just give it to them," Zhang Chuanhai said. "Since those who harmed me have already been captured by the state, I have no grievances left. I trust that the state will handle it fairly."
With Zhang Chuanhai's consent secured, Xiao Yefeng said, "To be honest, this piece is very important to me; I believe you all know that. This flag contains part of my friend's soul trapped within it; its significance affects his ability to reincarnate. You must take good care of it."
At this point, Chun Nanfeng clearly understood some aspects of the situation and assured everyone present, "Don't worry; we will take good care of it!"
However, just then, Yuan Xun—tied up like a dumpling—suddenly spoke up: "Child, don't be delusional. I won't let Zhang Chuanhai go! Hahaha! Zhang Chuanhai, Brother Zhang, you really are fortunate! But what you owe me will never be repaid even if you die; Jin Ling will pay for everything! Hahahaha!"
Yuan Xun's words left Xiao Yefeng stunned. What did he mean by owing him? Was this situation not as simple as it seemed? At that moment, Xiao Yefeng grabbed Yuan Xun by the collar and shouted, "Quick, what do you mean by that?"
"Causality is a cycle. If I get caught by National Security, I'm dead. But if I die, I will take that woman with me, hahahaha! Without me, she will leave with me after three days! She will leave with me~"
After finishing his words, the effects of the drug took hold of Yuan Xun, and he fell into a deep sleep, the brilliance in his eyes gradually fading away. Xiao Yefeng reluctantly released his grip; he recognized the drug well. He had used it before during his time in the Mercenary group to save someone. It was a substance that induced a hibernation state, maximizing the chances of preserving the victim's life. Without twenty-four hours, one would not wake up.
"It looks like things are problematic!" Chun Nanfeng frowned.
"A woman named Jin Ling should be with him. I only know she is in Hangzhou, but I can't find her. Can you National Security think of a way?" Xiao Yefeng looked at Chun Nanfeng.
"Jin Ling? I think I've seen her name!" Ji Min suddenly stepped out of the helicopter and addressed Xiao Yefeng.
"Min, do you know her? Then you take charge of this incident. If we listen to him, there shouldn't be any problems within three days. Brother, do you have Min's number?" Chun Nanfeng glanced at the time and said.
"I have his number." However, before he could finish his sentence, a cold light shot in from afar, heading straight for Xiao Yefeng's face. Yet, Xiao Yefeng swiftly grabbed the incoming object and couldn't help but smile.
"Who is it?" The members of National Security Team Three immediately raised their weapons and scanned the area upon sensing an attack. Looking at the shiny copper coin in his hand, Xiao Yefeng smiled and said, "No need to be nervous; the person coming is my friend. I'll take my leave now; we can discuss Jin Ling and Yuan Xun later."
With that, Xiao Yefeng vanished into the vast night while National Security Team Three exchanged glances. The thermal imaging glasses only showed Xiao Yefeng's rapidly departing figure. The speed at which he left shocked all five members; it was nearly five times that of an ordinary person. Even compared to an Ancient Warrior's speed, Xiao Yefeng's departure far exceeded theirs.
"Chu Team! He left at one point five times your speed!" one man exclaimed after calculating on his wrist computer.
"Let's regroup! You should see how strong this man is. Min! You handle communication with him; his identity has been confirmed. The Metaphysics Society won't act without reason; we must maintain a good relationship with him." After saying this, Chun Nanfeng raised his wrist, revealing a portable shield that popped out. At that moment, everyone noticed a hole about the thickness of chopsticks penetrating through the edge of the shield. Meanwhile, a Flying Needle remained lodged in Chun Nanfeng's helmet.
Seeing the hole in the shield made everyone realize the seriousness of the situation. Initially, they thought it was just a matter of the Flying Needle getting stuck in the helmet; it turned out that this Flying Needle had penetrated through the shield before lodging itself in the helmet.
“ hss!”
Everyone inhaled sharply, surprised by Xiao Yefeng's incredible strength, which was powerful enough to pierce the portable Shield developed by the research institute. Soon after, the five of them boarded a helicopter and left the area. On the aircraft, everyone stared at Chun Nanfeng's Shield and the Flying Needle on his helmet, remaining silent. However, this situation was a result of multiple coincidences.
The Five Needle was essentially a type of projectile needle from the Flying Needle series, designed specifically to penetrate armor, much like the current armor-piercing rounds. Coupled with the appropriate distance, the explosive force was just within the maximum effective range, leading to such a remarkable feat.
Xiao Yefeng's Flying Needle taught the previously arrogant Three Groups a lesson and made Chun Nanfeng realize that achieving the second stage of Mingjing at just twenty-seven years old was not as impressive as he thought. Compared to these individuals, he felt significantly weaker. When Xiao Yefeng threw the Flying Needle, Chun Nanfeng barely had time to react; if it weren't for the Shield automatically deploying, he would have been dead.
However, the Shield designed by the research institute was slightly delayed. The Shield only managed to touch the Flying Needle at its upper corner upon deployment. This slight collision redirected the Flying Needle upwards at a seven or eight-degree angle, causing it to penetrate and strike his helmet instead. Thinking back on this made Chun Nanfeng break into a cold sweat. Although he had known that joining the National Security Team meant he could sacrifice his life at any moment, being so close to death still sent chills down his spine.
“Chu Team, I just discovered through the internal system that someone approaching us has been identified! It's Rogue!” The man who had just calculated Xiao Yefeng's speed was now frantically typing on his computer aboard the plane. A satellite map displayed the positions of the five individuals, and a red dot appeared near their previous location with the word “Rogue” next to it.
“How did he get here? And why isn't he meeting with us?” Chun Nanfeng asked in confusion.
However, upon hearing Rogue's name, Xiao Ling suddenly perked up from her silence but quickly remembered the punishment she would face upon returning. She felt a wave of sorrow wash over her; this time her command error meant not only would she be held accountable but also that her team leader, Chun Nanfeng, would have to resign in shame. Although no incident had occurred, once a problem arose, it could not be erased.
Thinking about how she might never see that man who resembled Rogue again filled Xiao Ling with pain akin to being pricked by needles. At that moment, her heart was heavy with anguish. If it weren't for her stubbornness and temper, capturing Yuan Xun alive would have been a significant achievement. Yet everything she did would be recorded by instruments; she knew that even if she wasn't imprisoned, she would have to leave the National Security Team.
With these thoughts weighing on her mind, Xiao Ling finally broke down in tears. Her sobbing brought silence among the five on board; everyone understood what she was about to face. However, as soldiers, they were bound by duty—an unbreakable rule that no one could violate.
