Free Web NovelChapter 1093: Chapter 1093: Future Task Allocation
After hearing the competition results, Pei Yan quickly shook off his mixed emotions and leaned back in his chair, stuffing strawberries into his mouth while muttering, "Now everything’s good! This competition is more or less over, so what are we going to do next? Wait for a reply from the Blood Race? I think the Vlad family won’t respond to us so quickly, and even if they do, we have to think of ways to delay the time, giving Du Guangyuan the opportunity to deal with Delacuri’s blood poison. I’m afraid unexpected issues might arise when the transaction time comes, so it’s more reliable to make foolproof preparations." fгeewebnovёl.com
"We can put the Blood Race matters aside for now, as you already explained! Originally, the office planned to give you all a vacation after the competition...."
"But!" Before Gu Shenghui could finish, Pei Yan interrupted, tilting his head to look at him humorously, "There’s always a ’but’ after that sentence. So, come on, what’s the task?"
Pei Yan’s words brought a knowing smile to everyone in the room, leaving Gu Shenghui a bit embarrassed as he pointed at Pei Yan and retorted, "I really wish I could refute you, then boldly say you’ll have a ten-day holiday, and give you a big smack across the face!" In the end, even he chuckled helplessly as he said, "But that’s not possible! As the old saying goes, ’time is tight, and the task is urgent!’ The Blood Slaughter Calamity Legion’s failure to meet the expectations this time has completely angered Lin Ruxue, tearing off the last veneer of cordiality between a few parties, while the great battle isn’t imminent now, Plane Cultivators have already begun adapting to the source energy of the Hell Plane, preparing for the pre-war arrangements for invading the Hell Plane, and the Hell Plane has also dispatched people to various planes to start the geo-sealing operations."
"Oh? In the end, the Demon Race didn’t share this secret with the major planes. But, it’s understandable since it’s a lesson they learned from life!" Pei Yan interjected upon hearing this, regarding the so-called geo-sealing, which involves laying a sealing array over the main land vein in a region. With this array, the area covered by the red mist of the Blood Slaughter Celestial Calamity Legion will not be able to form in this place for a long time afterward. When the Demon Race faced off against Blood Slaughter, they suffered losses as the areas of Disaster Territory formed. When other plane cultivators fight within them, their combat ability drastically decreases, leading to unilateral slaughter by Blood Slaughter.
"Initially controlling the periphery, then step-by-step eliminating Blood Slaughter in Demonic territories; under the united extermination of several major planes, this group of Candle Dragons won’t stir up much trouble." Wang Wenze commented from the side.
"I think it won’t be that simple; Blood Slaughter’s people are never those who sit waiting for death. But for now, this is all we can do. Joining hands amongst several major planes is better than previous internal squabbling, although this alliance has ulterior motives and may not last long." Clearly, Pei Yan was not overly optimistic about this particular action, continuing to awkwardly eat strawberries.
"No matter what other planes think, we still need to methodically do our own work, and the first task is to resolve the source of Du Guangyuan’s blood poison."
As soon as Gu Shenghui finished speaking, Zheng Jia Ru raised his hand and said, "That’s simple; we’ve already divided the work. I, Xiaoxia, and Old Ye will try to solve it within two days."
"Hmm, you all can’t go for this task!"
"Why not?" Zheng Jia Ru queried in confusion after listening to Gu Shenghui.
"I’ll send Ye Ruozai alone for this. The internal cleanup of the Immortal Palace starts after the competition convention ends. As agreed with Lin Ruxue, Mei Simiao will bring people to the Immortal Palace for an investigation in two days. These people might excel in gathering intelligence but generally lack strength, furthermore, there are ordinary people temporarily drafted among them. Leaving safety solely to the Immortal Palace makes me uneasy. You and Xiaoxia need to enter there and take responsibility."
Gu Shenghui’s reply was reasonable, and Zheng Jia Ru nodded, accepting his decision. Pei Yan then chimed in, "Sending Ye Ruozai alone might not be secure enough, considering there are quite a few people to catch!"
"Rest assured, the office will dispatch additional personnel to assist, and we also have allies within the Demon Race. Although this task is for ourselves, the results will ultimately benefit the Demon Race the most, so sending some people to help them reclaim territories is ethically right!"
With that rationale, Pei Yan no longer had objections, and Gu Shenghui continued, "Given the circumstances, I have no choice. Manpower is currently very scarce, and Xiaozheng leads the security for Mei Simiao’s faction, while Wang Wenze and Liang Qian will also accompany. Also, Pei Yan, Director Mei wants a batch of electronic devices that can be used in the Daoist Realm for communication and reconnaissance."
Pei Yan licked the remaining sweetness from his fingertips, drawing out his finger and made an ’OK’ gesture, agreeing, "No problem, just let Director Mei list the types and quantities of devices needed."
"Alright, the second issue is protection and escort work for Engineer Li and others. In the upcoming period, to finalize Pei Yan’s physical modifications and the crafting of Divine Artifacts, the Equipment Section and Engineer Li will need to remain here to work. If those responsible for investigations still have some combat strength, Engineer Li and his team have absolutely no self-defense capability. These people, having cooperated with the Investigation Office for many years, are invaluable talents familiar with both supernatural abilities and research, ensuring their safety is crucial. Therefore, I will personally oversee their security, and once tasks are completed, Jiang Feiyang, Jiang Donghu, and Ye Ruozai will also join the escort team."
"Got it!" Those mentioned raised their hands to express understanding.
"What about me and my sister?" Not hearing his name as tasks were assigned one after the other, Pei Yan couldn’t help but ask.
"You have more tasks. The first thing is to finalize the details of your Divine Artifact and bodily modifications with the forging masters." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Upon hearing this, Pei Yan nodded as this was something pre-determined and expected. Then Gu Shenghui, laughing, said, "Once this task is done, don’t say I’m being partial; you and your sister will have a three-day vacation to visit your parents."
After saying this, Gu Shenghui waved his hand to prevent Pei Yan from interrupting, continuing, "This isn’t special treatment for you; firstly, it’s the reward for your significant contribution this time. Secondly, after visiting family, you two need to return and relieve duties for Zheng Jia Ru and Xiaoxia so they too can have a three-day vacation to visit family. It’s an alternating arrangement, granting everyone the opportunity for a short break and family visit."
"Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!"
"Director Gu, you’re the best!"
These words completely ignited the enthusiasm inside the room, as everyone cheered excitedly. For the past six months, they had tirelessly worked in the Daoist Realm for this competition, and Pei Yan spent even longer in a special space. To say they didn’t miss home would be a lie.
"Three days, but what about the time difference?" Amidst the cheers, Pei Yan was the first to clear his mind, catching the core issue and pursuing it further.
