Chapter 406: Snow-Covered Plum Blossoms

The mechanism converged, and the temple at the end of the sight stood between the mountains.

Ji Ming took a step forward, his dark right eye slowly focused, and took in the smooth road that broke through the thick fog.

Facing the morning light, the smooth road leading directly to the main entrance of the temple was so open and wide; but on the contrary, the thick fog that retreated to the sides to make way for the passage was still surging with unknown murderous intent, like a beast hiding in the jungle, ready to rush out at any time to cut off all life.

"He's coming."

As Ji Ming's lips moved, a tiny black shadow suddenly flashed in the originally calm airspace.

The black shadow came from the temple, from far to near, and the outline gradually became clear. It was actually a giant crow carrying Jiang Qian, who was wearing a black cloak, flying in the air.

Jiang Qian was wrapped in a black cloak and appeared in the sight of all official cadres.

He was still handsome and tall, with a calm look. He faced the high-ranking dignitaries and priests without showing any hesitation.

The Crow Beast King landed ten meters away from Ji Ming and others. Jiang Qian jumped off its back and walked towards Ji Ming and others.

This was the first time that Jiang Qian carefully observed the official lineup of this operation: the golden elder of the Feather Clan behind the mask, the golden eagle martial saint who he had met once, the unfamiliar leader of the Tree Clan, the princess Senxi standing next to the leader, and the seemingly extraordinary old man next to the princess.

Ji Ming and Lan Junxian, needless to say, were the two people Jiang Qian trusted most in the group.

He could imagine that the reason for the current peaceful meeting was that Ji Ming and Lan Junxian had done a lot in it. It was because of the existence of these two people that his plan had the foundation to unfold.

As Jiang Qian's eyes swept over the cadres, the cadres were also examining him.

However, everyone has their own filter:

Although Ji Ming had a serious expression and put on his usual indifferent look, he was actually sighing at Jiang Qian's strong vitality and control!

It is not easy to get out of the dragon's den and tiger's den like the Shenshan Organization! At the same time, he can take advantage of the situation and control the resources of Shenshan in his own hands. In Ji Ming's view, he is no longer an ordinary general.

Lan Junxian looked at Jiang Qian, and the joy and pride on his face were beyond words, truly showing the firm support and recognition of a teacher for his proud student.

Since the beginning of his journey in the super-species world, Jiang Qian's every leap has been witnessed by Lan Junxian, but to this day, Jiang Qian's growth rate and delivery beyond expectations still often amaze him.

The six-state priesthood elder Jin stood calmly, but his eyes hidden behind the mask were firmly fixed on Jiang Qian, as if he wanted to see through this young life.

In contrast, the Golden Eagle Martial Saint and the Tree Clan Yu Teng did not conceal their attention to Jiang Qian.

For the Golden Eagle Martial Saint, this was the second time to closely examine this unique super genius of the lawful official!

Last time, when he subdued the scum of the snake clan, he did not leave a deep impression on Jiang Qian. It was not until the "Children's Playground" was cracked that he became interested in this rapidly rising young man. Unexpectedly, this supernova who was "popularized" by the official could now take charge of such a dangerous and difficult task, and even play a decisive role.

This made the Golden Eagle Martial Saint, who believed in justice, break some of his previous inherent cognitions - the rise of some geniuses is not accidental!

Strength is the protective color of the halo.

Princess Senxi beside Yu Teng also sighed for Jiang Qian's unique way of appearance!

The crow mount is not Jiang Qian's own beast king, and from the information that the tree clan has already mastered, the identity card of the Holy Maiden of Shenshan, the Elegy, is "Crow", which can't help but make people think: Elegy, the head of the Holy Maiden of Shenshan, has surrendered to Jiang Qian.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that Jiang Qian seems to have the ability to dispatch the core forces of the Shenshan organization!

This made Senxi feel relieved. The idea of ​​helping Jiang Qian at the critical moment was also dispelled. Obviously, it was useless.

But to some extent, she couldn't help but have a strange sense of urgency: How outstanding a girl can stand beside such a person?

...

Then, everyone's psychological activities came to an abrupt end with Jiang Qian's next action.

Jiang Qian stood in front of Ji Ming, and before speaking, he raised his hand to shake off the black cloak covering his body:

Shuizao and Centipede, who were tied up by props, appeared in front of the officials!

Due to the torture, Shuizao was still covered with mottled blood, and the whole person was limp on the ground; Centipede raised his head, looked at the officials with a cold look, and raised a chilling smile at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the officials changed to varying degrees.

Ji Ming glanced at the two of them calmly and asked Jiang Qian:

"Is this the important witness you mentioned?"

"Yes."

Jiang Qian nodded and added:

"In addition, please forgive me for only communicating with the Minister and Mr. Lan alone about all the information obtained from the Shenshan Organization."

This blocked the questions that others were about to ask.

This is reasonable. As a special identity sent by the task force to go deep into the Shenshan Organization, when the situation is not clear, the key information must be carefully explained and no mistakes can be made.

"Okay, let's go back to the base first."

Ji Ming seemed to understand Jiang Qian's intention and made a decision at the right time.

"Then what should be done with the Shenshan Temple?"

At this time, Yu Teng of the Tree Clan raised a question:

"If we withdraw our troops, then the joint breakthrough of Elder Jin and Elder Xiangyang will be abandoned halfway."

Its intention is to attack the temple in one go!

Jiming stopped: "We have achieved our goal. Going deeper will bring additional risks and losses."

"Minister Jiming believes in your subordinates, but are your subordinates still the ones you can trust?"

The one who spoke at this time was Elder Xiangyang of the Tree Clan. She stared at Jiang Qian with a slight smile, as if she wanted to see through Jiang Qian's intentions.

"Grandma Kui, it is inconvenient for us to interfere in the internal affairs of the special task force."

Princess Senxi intervened at the right time to help Jiang Qian out.

So Elder Xiangyang changed his previous seriousness, smiled peacefully and nodded to Jiming, saying: "Forgive me for my mistakes."

These words were to remind Jiming that the hidden dangers of the sacred mountain are the top priority of the lawful officials.

Jiming was silent for a while, looked at Lan Junxian, and then said to the cadres present: "Thank you all, I will take responsibility for this matter."

After that, the troops were called off!

During the retreat, the fog with hidden murderous intentions once again blocked the outer perimeter of the temple, and the outline of the Shenshan Temple was once again submerged in the mountains, with no trace left.

Things went more smoothly than Jiang Qian had imagined.

The serious conflict did not occur, and the previous combat force deployment was actually not used.

The cadres took Jiang Qian and two witnesses back to the temporary station outside the Shenshan area and began to make long-term plans.

In the simply furnished secret room, only Ji Ming, Lan Junxian and Jiang Qian were left.

The three of them did not say any extra nonsense.

Ji Ming got to the point with a simple opening remark: "Tell me."

But Jiang Qian knew that behind these three simple words, Ji Ming and Lan Junxian made a guarantee for him under great pressure. Not every superior has the confidence and courage to take responsibility for his subordinates.

So Jiang Qian's statement was also without any concealment:

"I am the winner of the competition for the crown prince of Shenshan. In addition to the "Teng Snake", the three crown prince beast cards: "Hook Snake", "Ming Snake", and "Hua Snake" have been fused by me. "

Hearing this, Lan Junxian stood up from his chair: "Did you get the "Dragon" card?"

Jiang Qian shook his head calmly: "The fusion of the four cards did not form the so-called "Dragon" card. The keynote of my identity card is still "Teng Snake", so whether it will form a "Dragon" card is still in doubt. "

Lan Junxian's brows tightened and he slowly sat down.

Jiang Qian continued: "Except for the fact that the cards did not form the so-called "Dragon" card, the fusion of the other three identity cards attributed all the experience points of the original identity card holders to mine. Therefore, my current experience value reserves have actually reached the qualification for promotion to the five states. "

"If the details in the middle are omitted, then this is the card face benefit I got in the competition for the crown prince of Shenshan. "

After these words, not only Lan Junxian's attention was drawn back, but even Ji Ming's eyes flashed with surprise!

It is conceivable that the evolutionary logic of the super-species world has always followed the "law of gradual decrease upwards", that is, the higher you go, the greater the difficulty, the higher the risk, and the more difficult it is.

The difficulty of "promoting from state one to state two" and "promoting from state four to state five" are simply incomparable.

In the super-species world, the license holders who can jump from ordinary license holders to dignitaries are already one in ten thousand!

Many license holders who are lucky enough to climb the ladder of dignitaries will never be able to make the leap again in their lifetime... and even more hesitant... Ambitious people, weighing the pros and cons of the risks of mutation, gave up their ambitions to leap upward, and could only spend the rest of their lives with the existing wealth, fame and fortune...

However, Jiang Qian, who had just been promoted to a powerful position for less than a month, had the conditions to continue to evolve upward?

This... was somewhat shocking.

At this moment, Ji Ming and Lan Junxian both realized a fact:

Jiang Qian's fate was surpassing their own imagination!

And Jiang Qian was willing and dared to be honest about the actual benefits of his mission, which already represented trust.

"Is this the reason why you can only exchange information with us two alone?" Lan Junxian asked tentatively.

Jiang Qian lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "It's just one of the reasons."

"What else? "Ji Ming's eyes remained indifferent.

But Jiang Qian knew very well that his extremely powerful superior must be full of questions at this moment!

Did winning the battle for the crown prince only bring the benefits of experience points? How to explain the identity of the Holy Lord of Shenshan?

How did a newly-appointed crown prince master the control of the key defense mechanism of Shenshan? And dared to open the "door" and go to the meeting alone in the face of the strong attack of the official troops?!

Who gave this power?

...

Ji Ming naturally did not ask these words. The sentence "what else" meant that he was waiting, waiting for Jiang Qian to justify himself.

"Also, there are two things, which are information that cannot be shared easily."

Jiang Qian slowed down his speech and considered his words:

"First, the fact that I became the Holy Lord of Shenshan actually has nothing to do with my victory in the battle for the crown prince. My power in Shenshan was not fought for, but came from the handover of the Holy Mother of Shenshan. "

Speaking of this, he looked at Lan Junxian:

"It is not convenient to disclose the details now. What is certain is that the Shenshan Organization is currently under my control and will not make any major moves. "

While Ji Ming and Lan Junxian were still sorting out the "meaning" of these words, Jiang Qian's so-called "Second Top Secret" also unveiled a corner of the veil:

"Secondly, the Shenshan Chujun incident does involve an overseas group. The testimonies of the overseas disorderly organizations related to it, such as Shuizao, a member of the Black Chrysanthemum Society, and Shenshan Guardian Centipede, can be used for reference. But, it's far more than that!"

"Given the nature of the intelligence, I would like to ask for a private communication with a higher-level person in charge for more detailed information."

After the words fell, there was silence in the secret room!

It was so quiet that even the sound of breathing and knuckles rubbing could be heard.

Then, Ji Ming stood up!

Then came Lan Junxian, who stood between Jiang Qian and Ji Ming at the right time and pressed Ji Ming's shoulder, as if he was trying to persuade them to stop fighting: "Jiming, take your time..."

"Mr. Lan, please step aside for a moment."

Jiming's voice was calm and firm, and it seemed that there was no motive tendency that Lan Junxian was worried about.

But Lan Junxian still understood Ji Ming, and he gave a warning with his eyes: "Do you intend to talk to Jiang Qian alone?"

"Yes, as his direct superior." The calm tone was like the sea before a storm.

"You know, the Tree Clan and the Feather Clan saw us taking Jiang Qian away. If Jiang Qian makes any mistake... you have to weigh this responsibility clearly!"

Jiming did not answer.

"Jiming..."

"Teacher Lan, it's okay. This is my request." Jiang Qian comforted from the side. It was as if he was not the one who was about to face "danger".

Lan Junxian looked at Jiang Qian, then retracted his gaze to look at Ji Ming... Both of them were his students. He knew them, but this sudden "conflict" seemed to be something he could not avoid.

A sigh.

Lan Junxian stepped aside from the two, took slow and hesitant steps, and walked out the door...

"By the way, Jiang Qian," Lan Junxian stopped, "the peacock spider is the informant sent by the Feather Clan back to the Divine Mountain."

Jiang Qian's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled: "It is true."

This double verification of the last intelligence gain from the interrogation of Shuizao.

Lan Junxian left.

Only Ji Ming and Jiang Qian were left in the secret room.

The topic of the negotiation stayed on Jiang Qian's seemingly excessive request: to apply for a private communication with a higher-level person in charge!

The pressure of the Five-State Peak instantly filled the entire room, and as Ji Ming approached step by step, it brought a stronger sense of oppression! It was as if he was using this opportunity to vent some dissatisfaction:

"A higher-level person in charge, do you mean?"

Jiang Qian clenched his palms, veins bulged on his forehead, and he resisted Ji Ming's pressure: "Predator family, the top chair!"

After saying that, all the furnishings in the room collapsed!

Ji Ming, who was always calm, actually reflected a rare surprise in his empty eyes: "The head of the family?!"

Jiang Qian smiled, his seven orifices were bleeding, but he had no intention of retreating.

Ji Ming approached him and asked again: "Why?"

"By..."

Jiang Qian's vision began to blur, and his ears tinnitus burst. He did not deliberately resist, as if he subconsciously wanted to more realistically experience the gap in strength between himself and the Five-State Peak license holder!

"..."

The pressure continued to grow until Jiang Qian said his most crucial support - the name of his father Jiang Xuesong, who was once famous among the top leaders of the Predator Family:

"... Step on the snow to become plum blossoms!"

...

The pressure disappeared.

Jiang Qian staggered, stretched out his hand to support the edge of the table beside him, and stood still.

He looked up at Ji Ming again.

Ji Ming in front of him still maintained the expression of the previous moment, and his empty eyes met Jiang Qian's, and the aggressive state before seemed to have never existed.
