My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 616: Chapter 68: Who Is That?

Ji Xin, seeing no one speaking, directly said, "Then it’s decided."

She didn’t even look at Hu Shengping lying on the ground.

Or rather, she seemed to have no intention of reinstating Hu Shengping’s position in Celestial Strategy.

"Additionally."

Chen Lusi, upon hearing Ji Xin agree, thought carefully and asked again, "With Kunlun’s warning failing... can Daoism play a role?"

Upon hearing this.

The Celestial Strategy personnel present were even more shocked than hearing Chen Lusi had a military rank... was the commander of the mobile force, their pupils shrank sharply.

No matter how you put it, the Security Army is deeply intertwined with the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

They are entangled with each other.

But Daoism is different.

After their Daoist lineage was cut off, although their strength was greatly affected, it was overall evident.

Yet, as the largest domestic religion, with the most influential organization, due to the large follower base, even after the Celestial Strategy Mansion was established, they still belong to a large-scale ’civilian military organization’.

And this large ’civilian military organization’, although nominally under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, it is merely nominal, Celestial Strategy Mansion can have them coordinate during missions.

But it is limited to that.

The Celestial Strategy leaders everywhere want to command large Daoist Temples like ordinary members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, which is almost impossible.

Because ultimately... their history is much longer than that of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, their strength is not weak, plus their vast number of followers and their Daoist Natural Law, tranquil and passive creed.

Unless it is matters related to their Daoist lineage.

Other things.

One cannot simply rely on orders to make them comply willingly and whole-heartedly, let alone actively help the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

But Chen Lusi’s words now... What do they mean?

Besides the Security Army... does he also have influence over Daoism?

And Ji Xin, hearing Chen Lusi’s question, directly replied, "They can play a role, if you can mobilize the Daoist Temples across the country, they will certainly outperform the Security Army in terms of providing warnings, and it’s not just about warnings, they can completely independently handle some of the already formed legend activation, greatly easing the pressure on each major team."

Chen Lusi nodded: "Then I’ll contact Zhang Xiufeng later."

Others: "..."

Is it settled just like that???

Just like this?????

With simple words?

Ji Xin didn’t feel anything amiss? Not even asking more questions?

To those unaware... it would seem that the person sitting in front is Celestial Master Zhang from Dragon Tiger Mountain!

The Celestial Strategy personnel present looked increasingly complex, brows furrowed.

Even though they find it hard to believe.

The fact is before their eyes.

This only proves one thing.

The newly appointed third team leader of Celestial Strategy also holds considerable influence over Daoism.

So much that Ji Xin even believes he can make Daoism fully cooperate with the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

But why?

How?

So many Celestial Strategy personnel here, even Xia Yue couldn’t achieve this...

Why can he? What did he do???

This person... what’s his story!?

"With cooperation from the Security Army and Daoism... with these two sides coordinating, Kunlun’s temporary inability to perform won’t cause too big an issue in the short term.

Now, the next issue..."

Ji Xin slightly bowed her head, contemplated for a while, then suddenly looked at Yu Zhou: "What’s the deal with that Wu from West Mountain?"

"He sincerely told me he has no intention of doing anything, expressing regret over Xia Yue’s matter."

Yu Zhou, upon hearing, replied: "Even in the face of threats, he only claims to be an old thing aged beyond a century, long devoid of other thoughts."

"... Since he knows he’s over a century old, devoid of other thoughts, why hasn’t he gone to die?"

Ji Xin, upon hearing, expressionless, said: "What was he doing looking for his ’friend’ in the south last night? Arranging a trip to the Yellow Springs?"

"..."

No one spoke.

Chen Lusi remained silent.

Because he couldn’t understand.

Compared to Xia Yue, he has a notable disadvantage, which is he currently lacks understanding of too many things.

It’s foreseeable that in the coming long period.

He will need to catch up.

"Go continue monitoring them, after the meeting, go keep an eye, other matters don’t concern you."

Ji Xin didn’t impulsively vent emotions, rather mocked simply, then took a deep breath, looking once more at Yu Zhou, instructed: "Report immediately if there’s any movement."

Yu Zhou nodded in agreement.

Then.

Ji Xin looked at the others, took a deep breath: "As for the rest, the troubles caused by Kunlun’s temporary inability to perform, the Security Army and Daoism will assist you in resolving, and your duties are to ensure everything proceeds as usual, especially don’t let the Advanced Empowerers from each jurisdiction outside the Celestial Strategy Mansion leave, regardless of the reason, it’s not allowed."

"..."

Everyone, upon hearing, all shifted their gaze away from Chen Lusi, slowly looking at Ji Xin, silent in response.

A while later.

Finally, a Celestial Strategy spoke up, "Are you sure? Xia Yue he..."

The Celestial Strategy didn’t finish the sentence.

But the meaning was clear.

In Xia Yue’s absence, can we really continue to be this assertive?

"I’m sure, He Fu."

Ji Xin looked at the Celestial Strategy named He Fu and calmly said, "You just need to follow orders."

The Celestial Strategy named He Fu carefully observed Ji Xin, then turned his head to look at Chen Lu Si again, slightly furrowing his brows.

Confidence... does it come from this newly appointed third team Celestial Strategy?

Do they intend to use him as a Xia Yue replacement?

Although he does indeed resemble him, and this Chen Lu Si, shrouded in mysteries, is indeed... quite formidable.

But after all, they are not the same person.

Besides, Xia Yue had suppressed these people for far too long... now that they finally feel relieved, would they really want another person stepping on their heads?

Who would want that?

Even if this person is as powerful as Xia Yue... but the scariest thing for people is having hope.

Seeing hope, then having it extinguished—wouldn’t they fight to the death?

They waited from their old age into the twilight years, finally seeing the mountain of Xia Yue disappear.

Do they have to go through it once more?

Won’t they retaliate collectively?

Although this successor of the third team Celestial Strategy... is formidable, if it really comes down to it, could he really withstand it?

"I’m sure."

Ji Xin looked at He Fu and repeated once more.

"...Understood."

He Fu came back to his senses, looking at the resolute Ji Xin, exhaled slowly, and could only agree.

The other Celestial Strategies stayed silent.

"Since there are no objections, let’s proceed."

Ji Xin took a deep breath, "Now, the last issue, the Roman Catholic Church’s prisoner, the Holy Coffin Knight... Xia Yue once suggested filing a lawsuit against him, and I believe you all have heard about this before.

Now, I want to proceed according to the original plan."

"..."

Upon hearing these words.

All the Celestial Strategies on-site were taken aback.

...

At the same time.

At the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters, the commotion caused by Chen Lu Si had caught the attention of all the Empowerers in the Imperial Capital.

There was no choice.

For Empowerers.

Especially for the middle and lower-tier Empowerers, the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters holds significant symbolic meaning.

Moreover, basically all the Empowerers in the Imperial Capital knew that all the Celestial Strategies of Celestial Strategy Mansion were having a meeting at the top floor.

In this scenario, all the Empowerers were paying attention to the situation over there.

But as they focused... they noticed that someone seemed to be forcibly dismantling the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.

Everyone would be puzzled.

... What exactly happened?

And at that time, few members had run up and witnessed the conference room scene personally.

So up to this point.

Many people still didn’t know what happened above and were inquiring about it everywhere.

This made the entire Celestial Strategy Mansion somewhat restless.

So.

When the batch of Empowerers who rushed up returned, appearing in front of everyone, the other Empowerers immediately swarmed forward to start asking them.

However.

The batch of Empowerers who had just rushed up didn’t respond, they just slowly looked up, their faces wearing an expression of shock, mumbling with a complicated look, "Damn... who was that!?"

The others were similar... they seemed more interested in someone’s identity than explaining what happened up there.

The ordinary members who hadn’t gone up were baffled and anxiously questioned further.

Finally.

Someone began recounting what they had witnessed.

Then, there was a dead silence.

The originally restless crowd instantly fell silent, a pin drop could be heard.

Then.

They... also asked the same question.

Who was that?

And this question, in less than half a day, spread out like ripples, expanding circles!

Very quickly, it became the most concerning matter for all members of Celestial Strategy Mansion.

... Who was that?
