Chapter 548: Chapter 389: Has It Been Exposed?_2
Reluctantly, he walked out of the cowshed.
As he took three steps back with every move, he glanced at the heifers in the cowshed with saliva splashing on the ground and said to Zhuge Zheng, “Damn piggy, these little heifers in your place have quite peculiar appearances, with their fur being both black and white…”
Apparently.
Niu Mang, the uncouth fellow, had never seen dairy cows before.
But, that was normal.
Over 600 years ago, he went into hibernation at Bull Head Mountain, at which point Da Xia probably didn’t have the breed called “dairy cows” yet!
Zhuge Zheng was, after all, a martial arts expert in the Heavenly Being Realm.
At this moment, Niu Mang reverted to his true form, and some of his aura was slightly revealed. Naturally, Zhuge Zheng could see how terrifying Niu Mang was!
Such a terrifying demon would undoubtedly wreak havoc if he were in the West, but in Master Xu’s presence, he could only act as a mount… Zhuge Zheng wanted to establish a good relationship with Niu Mang but was afraid that Xu Yang would get angry. So, he sent an inquiring glance to Xu Yang.
How could Xu Yang not understand Zhuge Zheng’s intention?
He immediately said, “You can arrange it… This son of a bitch is wild, just make sure he doesn’t cause trouble.”
Zhuge Zheng walked over to Niu Mang and said, “Brother Niu… What do you think of this shed of heifers?”
Niu Mang’s eyes widened, and his breathing became heavier as he asked, “Brother Zhuge… Do you have any other sheds of heifers besides this one?”
Zhuge Zheng said, “Our farm is quite large, and we mainly focus on raising cows. There are over twenty such cowsheds… Zhuge Zhong!”
He called Zhuge Zhong to take Niu Mang for a tour of the cowsheds.
Niu Mang was beaming, stood up, hugged Zhuge Zheng, and chuckled, “Then I’ll have to trouble Brother Zhuge.”
Zhuge Zhong was just an ordinary person, so how could he have ever seen such a scene?
Being hugged by a Demon King, he didn’t dare to breathe.
Only when he felt something slapping against his waist, causing pain, did he reflexively grab at it.
Niu Mang: “…”
Zhuge Zheng: “…”
“Hahahaha!”
He used laughter to mask the awkward atmosphere, quickly loosening his grip and complimenting, “Brother Niu has such a robust bullwhip…”
Niu Mang was furious.
However, considering that this bastard had dozens of sheds of heifers, he had to suppress his anger and flicked his bullwhip behind him, saying, “It’s average, not particularly robust… Brother Zhuge, later could you arrange an empty cowshed for me… I see that you look frail, and I know a secret technique that can revitalize you with just a little of my demonic power, making you a decade younger and restoring your masculine vitality!”
Zhuge Zhong was overjoyed upon hearing this, and his fear of Niu Mang diminished considerably.
A man and a bull walked side by side, disappearing into the depths of the farm.
The moment they stepped away.
Squeaky!
An emergency brake screech sounded from outside the farm.
With a thought, Xu Yang saw a black off-road vehicle parked at the farm entrance. Behind it were several large pickup trucks with special license plates, carrying a large number of weapons and medicinal pills in their trunks!
“Damn, it’s people from the Divine Shield Agency! How could they have found this place?”
Zhuge Zheng’s face changed, and he quickly said, “Master Xu, you should hide in the room first. I’ll go and deal with them.”
Xu Yang laughed and said, “It’s fine, I’ll go with you to see what’s going on.”
Zhuge Zheng said, “Master Xu, they might just be carrying out routine checks. They might not necessarily have tracked you down… Our base is quite concealed; it shouldn’t have been exposed.”
Xu Yang: “Don’t worry, they won’t see me.”
Half-believing and half-skeptical, Zhuge Zheng and Xu Yang left the farm together.
However, they saw that the black pickup trucks were parked a hundred meters away and didn’t come closer.
A bald man in a black leather jacket got out of the off-road vehicle.
The bald man had dark skin, a tall and burly build, and was nearly 1.9 meters tall. He had an “R” tattoo similar to the Rocket Team logo on one side of his head.
Zhuge Zheng approached the man with a smiling face, greeting him and conversing fluently in English.
During their conversation, he sneaked a few glances at Xu Yang…
However, he noticed that the bald man never looked at Xu Yang from beginning to end, as if… he genuinely couldn’t see him!
“What kind of technique does Celestial Master Xu have?”
Zhuge Zheng marveled in his heart, and his admiration for Xu Yang grew even deeper.
The bald man took out his badge and flashed it in front of Zhuge Zheng, asking a series of questions in fluent English.
Zhuge Zheng answered all of them.
He even subtly revealed some of his martial arts aura.
The bald man took a deep look at Zhuge Zheng before getting into the black off-road vehicle and leaving.
Only when the off-road vehicle left did Zhuge Zheng let out a sigh of relief.
As the two of them had been talking in English the whole time, Xu Yang didn’t understand very well and asked, “What were you just talking about?”
Zhuge Zheng said, “They detected extraordinary energy fluctuations on my farm, so they came for a routine inspection… I guess it might have been caused by the leakage of demonic energy from your mount, Master Xu, so I showed them my martial arts cultivation and said that it was caused by my own practice.”
He then smiled and said, “I have a record at the Divine Shield Agency, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“No!”
However, Xu Yang shook his head and frowned, looking at the gradually departing vehicles; he said, “They actually have a way to detect energy fluctuations? It seems they must have sensed something!”
He turned his head to look deep into the farm.
From far away, Xu Yang could sense the demonic energy coming from Niu Mang.
Zhuge Zheng’s face changed dramatically, he said, “What… Master Xu, what should we do? Are we going to be exposed?”
The Overseas Intelligence Group has encountered countless dangers and hardships overseas, and it wasn’t easy for them to get where they are now.
How could they be exposed because of their mounts?
Wouldn’t that make them sinners?
Xu Yang said earnestly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Zhuge… You won’t be exposed!”
He then took out the Thousand-year-old Thunderstruck Peachwood Sword, differentiated his soul, let a strand of it enter the sword, and then threw it up, lightly saying –
“Go!”
…
At the same time,
Inside the off-road vehicle,
a blonde in a black leather jacket was staring intently at something resembling a clock dial in her hand. She saw the dial’s pointer reaching the most extreme position, but it was still shaking violently!
And this intense shaking caused the disc to emit a buzzing sound, giving a feeling that it might explode at any moment!
“Shit!”
“Divine-level!”
“There’s a Divine-level being hidden in this farm… Damn it, who suggested we come here to investigate?”
The blond woman cursed and roared, “His name is Zhuge Zheng, a martial fanatic from the Zhuge Clan… He has a file at the Divine Shield Agency, and this is his private farm. He likes to come here for fun… Why did you bring me here?”
Compared to the blonde woman,
the bald man seemed much calmer.
He said indifferently, “Zhuge Zheng’s strength is not at the Sanctuary level, but the extraordinary energy fluctuations detected by the instrument exceed the Sanctuary Limit… This means our trip wasn’t for nothing, and the Da Xia Sword Immortal from last night… Perhaps he’s hiding here!”
The driver, a young guy with yellow hair tattooed on his neck and face, even had a nose ring, making him look similar to Niu Mang.
With a cigar in his mouth, he drove one-handed and sneered, “So what if it’s Divine-Level? Our Divine Shield Agency has hunted Divine-level beings before… what the hell is that?”
But before the young man with yellow hair could finish his sentence, he screamed with wide eyes, not even noticing the cigar that had fallen onto his thigh!
The blonde and the bald man looked out the front windshield as well.
They saw a sword light flying past in front of them.
The sword light was vast and boundless, like a galaxy hanging across the sky. It slashed at the pickup trucks in a flash, splitting them and the gene warriors inside in half.
Following that, the sword light swirled, causing innumerable sword auras to disperse inside the black off-road vehicle, instantly dismembering the vehicle and the three people within.
…
Outside the farm,
Xu Yang beckoned, and the peachwood sword transformed into a sword light, flying back into his hand.
Zhuge Zheng’s eyes widened, and he stuttered, “Xu… Master Xu, what… What have you done to them?”
“Killed them, of course.”
Xu Yang said, “As the saying goes, ‘kill the witness with the killer ‘… If we kill them, the abnormalities here won’t be reported.”
“But…”
Zhuge Zheng said helplessly, “The death of any Divine Shield Agency staff member will definitely trigger a thorough investigation by the agency, and they will eventually trace it back here.”
Ah, well…
Xu Yang thought carefully and realized that it indeed made sense!
But it didn’t matter.
He laughed, flicked the peachwood sword with his finger, and said, “It’s all right, just kill one if one comes, and kill a pair if two come. What’s the big deal?”
