Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1456 648: Kill to the End_4

General?

The last time Tan Jinxiao mentioned fighting, Li Banfeng felt strange.

"Who is your General?"

"Which General do you mean?" Tan Jinxiao's face was blank, not sure if he was really confused or just pretending.

The simple phone rang, Li Banfeng picked it up, it was Luo Zhengnan calling.

"Seventh Master, Liao Zihui is looking for you, says there's trouble at the Dark Star Bureau."

"What happened?"

"He says a man named Chen Changrui has been reported for handing out harmonizing agents recklessly. These agents are like elixirs from the Outside Provinces, which are strictly controlled. You probably know this,

they're investigating Chen Changrui now, looks like they might strip his position, and the Dark Star Bureau might not be secured."

Li Banfeng hung up the phone, his brows tightly furrowed.

Chen Changrui distributing harmonizing agents was an act Li Banfeng had allowed.

Who reported Chen Changrui for this?

This must be dealt with, can't let Old Chen suffer this injustice, nor let the Dark Star Bureau lose its reputation.

Li Banfeng said to Tan Jinxiao, "You stay here and monitor for two days. I have urgent matters and need to go to the Outside Provinces."

Tan Jinxiao was a bit surprised, after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Seventh Master, make sure you return soon."

Li Banfeng explained the situation briefly, then boarded a small train transporting goods, preparing to leave the Underground City.

In the carriage, there were large and small cardboard boxes, Li Banfeng sat on the boxes, pondering strategies. As the train was about to reach the cave entrance, the flickering heavenly light outside reminded him of something.

He recalled the flickering lights of the dance hall.

"President Wang, have another drink!"

Li Banfeng frowned, sitting up from among the boxes.

Who reported Chen Changrui?

Who exactly is President Wang?

In the underground club of the Outside Provinces, when Li Banfeng heard these words, he glanced at Deputy Director Wang.

Deputy Director Wang said it wasn't him.

He said it wasn't, but was it really not him?

If I leave now, will the boss immediately show up?

Li Banfeng jumped off the train and took out the simple phone.

"Old Luo, tell Chief Envoy Liao that I'm currently in negotiations with the Inner State People, can't pull myself away temporarily, ask him to relay two things to Gao Yina,

first, have her prepare the defense, the Inner State might start a war at any time,

second, have her protect the Dark Star Bureau, both personnel and organization must remain stable."

Luo Zhengnan thought for a moment, worried that some matters might not be communicated properly, "Seventh Master, stable, what exactly do you mean?"

"Let Liao Zihui figure it out, he understands, Gao Yina also knows, they understand the consequences of making mistakes."

Li Banfeng hung up the phone, returned to the Human Market, and found Tan Jinxiao.

Tan Jinxiao was startled, "Seventh Master, the affairs in the Outside Provinces, done?"

"Almost."

"You're too fast at handling it," Tan Jinxiao slapped his leg, "I thought you'd take at least three to five days, worrying me!"

Li Banfeng said, "No need to move for the next two days, I'll wait here for the boss to arrive, and see if any old friends come looking."

Tan Jinxiao said, "What if the boss doesn't come?"

Li Banfeng didn't answer, he instead asked Tan Jinxiao, "Why do you want to be my guide?"

Tan Jinxiao smiled, "Xiao Songzi said, Seventh Master is quite serious, seizing this opportunity, I came to see."

"From the day you decided to be my guide, were you planning to risk your life?"

Tan Jinxiao shook his head and said, "Initially, I wasn't planning to, my life is cheap, but it's still a life. I have to see if it's worth risking on you!"

"Do you think it's worth it now?"

Tan Jinxiao was silent for a moment and said, "Whatever you say, we do. It's like I said before, I've never backed down in my life."

Li Banfeng said, "We'll stay in the Human Market for a few days. If the boss comes, we'll deal with him here; if he doesn't come, we'll go to the Earth Market; if he still doesn't come, then we'll proceed to Sea City."

Liang Wu looked at Li Banfeng and said, "Seventh Master, can we return to our previous place? Although that night was cold, the memories are real."

Xiao Yeci felt something was wrong, "What happened that night, why did I wake up alone in the morning? Where did you all go afterward?"

Juanzi walked to Li Banfeng's side, lowered her voice and said, "Seventh Master, we want to Enter the Path Gateway."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take you into the path tonight."

Tan Jinxiao was a bit excited, preparing for a battle to the death.

And Huan Wuchang, perhaps he can help...

Li Banfeng glared at Tan Jinxiao, "What are you thinking? Hurry and decide on a place to eat and stay, stomach's still empty."

...

That night, a silhouette dashed into the second son's room, Zhao Xiaowan opened her eyes, quietly listening to the commotion in the room.

"Brother, your Shadow Formation is indeed useful, but he is a Traveling Cultivator Above the Clouds. As soon as I prepare my technique, he can sense malice, not giving me a chance to act, and has been more defensive lately."

"Brother, I told you this shouldn't be rushed, but you didn't listen."

"Brother, is there any other technique that can bypass seeking fortune and avoiding disaster? Teach me a couple more tricks."

"Seeking fortune and avoiding disaster isn't easy to dodge; that's the life pledge for a Traveling Cultivator! Better think this over slowly; at this rate, I'll end up burdened by you."

"Teach me some more tactics, brother, I'm about to face him head-on now. The arrow's on the string, can't hold back!"

...

The phonograph's nose trembled, lips quivered, nearly bursting into laughter.

He faintly heard the Portable Residence's voice, "Looks like many Ah Qis, but it's just one Ah Qi, don't worry."

The second son's room continued to bicker, the shadow got a bit angry, "Brother, we talked about this together before, now you're trying to back out, that's not fair!"

Zhao Xiaowan was stunned.

Where did that accent come from? Why is this tone so familiar?

PS: What Portable Residence said makes a lot of sense, seems like many Shalas, but only one who codes, just one!
