Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

The old man spoke lightly, but to Zhang Beixing and the others, it sounded like something that made them want to cough up blood.

That was General Meng! In that era, he was the absolute pinnacle of battlefield prowess, and he is ranked among the most respected generals in the entire history of Great Xia, known for his loyalty and righteousness.

However, amid their surprise, there was a tinge of worry in their hearts because once such a powerful general harbors resentment, it becomes extremely difficult to eradicate.

If General Meng were still alive, they wouldn’t be worried, as such a person wouldn’t harm innocent civilians.

But this is the resentment of General Meng. To put it bluntly, it’s like amplifying a person’s most evil thoughts endlessly. If such a being emerges, even Zhang Beixing couldn’t imagine what actions it might take.

”This matter is too deeply involved.”

For the rare occasion, Zhang Beixing wanted to directly call someone at the top, but he quickly suppressed this idea.

After all, the old Taoist director had been here before, so he must be very familiar with the situation here.

Since the old director knows the situation here, and troops are stationed outside the forest, it indicates that the higher-ups are certainly aware of this matter.

The most important thing is the attitude of the people here. Since they know the seal on General Meng’s resentment is loosening, yet can speak of it so casually, it’s clear this matter isn’t considered a big issue here.

”Should we go over and take a look?”

Zhang Beixing tentatively glanced at the old man before him, but surprisingly, the elder merely shook his head with a smile.

”No need. Although such incidents have been happening a bit frequently, it’s not like they haven’t happened before. Some people from the tribe have already gone to deal with it. You should first come with me to meet the Clan Leader.”

After speaking, the old man didn’t care how Zhang Beixing and the others reacted, turning to walk towards the direction inside the tribe.

Zhang Beixing and the others exchanged glances and followed along helplessly. Each person held the same thought — why does this scene feel oddly familiar?

Since it was a tribe, tents were used. The size of the tent determined the owner’s status within the tribe.

To Zhang Beixing’s surprise, he saw Dragon Tiger enter a tent that wasn’t considered small. Right next to Dragon Tiger’s tent was the tent of the tribe leader.

”Is Dragon Tiger highly esteemed within the tribe?”

Zhang Beixing instinctively asked.

After asking this question, Zhang Beixing regretted it a bit, because he noticed that the elder’s expression changed immediately, showcasing a proud look upon mentioning Dragon Tiger.

”Dragon Tiger is the strongest young person in our tribe and also the hope of our entire tribe.”

Though the words sounded a bit exaggerated, Zhang Beixing could feel that the other party wasn’t joking.

”Our leader is called Long Tian, and the entire tribe carries the surname ’Long’.”

Before Zhang Beixing entered the tent, the old man lowered his voice as he spoke.

A tribe with the surname Long? Could it be them?

Upon hearing the elder’s introduction, Zhang Beixing figured an exaggerated result that even he found hard to believe. But beside this conclusion, he couldn’t conceive any other reason that could align with these mysterious figures.

”I didn’t expect the director of the Ninth Investigation Bureau to be getting younger.”

This was a large yet very dark tent; if not for Zhang Beixing’s extraordinary senses, it would be hard to discern direction within.

”We can only say we’re standing on the shoulders of giants.”

Facing the person before him, Zhang Beixing showed due respect; despite seemingly dry blood and a mummy-like presence, the person’s strength was infinitely close to being Transcendent.

Even compared to the village chief outside, this person’s strength was slightly greater.

”Kid, you’re really modest.”

Long Tian chuckled, clearly not taking Zhang Beixing’s words seriously.

”Though we’ve always confined ourselves to the forest, it doesn’t mean we’re cut off from the outside world. I’ve heard of your exploits outside, especially in Europe; you’ve done well. Those unruly foreigners ought to be wiped out.”

Long Tian’s tone was calm, even the breathlessness while speaking wasn’t apparent, yet to Zhang Beixing’s ears, the words carried dense threats. Even as a Transcendent being, the underlying chill left him uneasy.

”What did this senior do in the past?”

Zhang Beixing grumbled internally.

Despite thinking this, Zhang Beixing couldn’t voice these thoughts aloud. His purpose here was to investigate the fluctuations in General Meng’s resentment.

In past records of The Ninth Bureau, there were mentions of related accounts. Though resentment can persist after death, extremely strong resentment may imply the host might not be dead.

Realizing this possibility left Zhang Beixing somewhat unnerved; if his suspicions were correct, then all of this would be truly terrifying.

”Seems you’ve guessed some things, but that’s expected for a Transcendent being to have special insights.”

Long Tian’s self-murmuring-like tone shocked Zhang Beixing with every word.

”Don’t approach General Meng for now; even if you go, you would be of no use. However, I have a request for you.”

Though it was put as a request, Long Tian’s tone conveyed no sense of asking nor superiority, more like a natural instruction from an elder to a younger.
