The mention of Flower Cloth struck Wei Qinghe and Hong Qichang like a heavy hammer on their hearts.
They were well aware of Xiao Yun's capabilities. If Long San truly was Xiao Yun, not only would they be unable to seize the Heart-Cleansing Pearl, but they might not even realize how they had met their demise.
Especially for Wei Qinghe, who had his own informants embedded within the Military Agent in Island Nation. He knew that Xiao Yun had come to Island Nation specifically to search for the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror. Moreover, Xiao Yun's disguise skills had reached an extraordinary level; several agents from Island Nation had brushed past him without recognizing him.
If Xiao Yun really transformed into Long San and infiltrated the Heaven Operations Department, it was not impossible.
Mud Horse, if after all this effort, the Long San he had been trying to win over turned out to be Xiao Yun, wasn't he just courting disaster by trying to take food from a tiger's mouth?
Thinking of this, Wei Qinghe couldn't help but shiver, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
But...
How could that be possible?
When he recalled that his informant within the Island Nation Agent had told him that Xiao Yun had already died at the Three Immortals Hall and that the body had been taken back by the agents, Wei Qinghe felt a sense of relief wash over him.
He smiled slightly and said to Flower Cloth, "It's no wonder you're suspicious. Long San does share many similarities with Xiao Yun in certain aspects. However, I can assure you that the one named Xiao is dead!"
Hong Qichang nodded and then shook his head, saying, "Wei Hall Master, caution is key. Since you have an informant within the Military Agent in Island Nation, why not inquire further about what they did with that Xiao Yun's body?"
"Are you suggesting that this Xiao Yun could possibly come back to life?" Wei Qinghe asked.
Hong Qichang replied, "That Xiao Yun's abilities are too extraordinary; he has transcended human limits. It wouldn't hurt to gather more information!"
Wei Qinghe considered this for a moment and said, "You're right. I'll call my informant right away!"
...
Smack!
In a mysterious chamber in Tokyo, a woman with her face covered by a veil slapped a man across the face.
After receiving the slap, the man not only refrained from showing any anger but stepped forward cautiously with a smile and said, "Madam, it is my failure in handling matters; please bear with me!"
The Veiled Woman shouted angrily, "Watanabe Masao, how can you, the highest authority of the Military Agent, handle things like this? You have truly disappointed me!"
The man who was being scolded was indeed Watanabe Masao.
Although the mysterious woman's face was covered by a veil, it could not hide the layers of killing intent emanating from her. Despite the warmth in the secret room, Watanabe Masao still felt a chill creeping over him.
Last time, Xiao Yun fought against the Kameda Brothers from the Three Immortals Hall, resulting in mutual destruction. Watanabe Masao ordered his agents to quickly retrieve Xiao Yun's body and the Refining Furnace.
Upon obtaining Xiao Yun's body and the Refining Furnace, Watanabe Masao felt as if he had struck gold. He immediately ordered that Xiao Yun's body be thrown into the Refining Furnace for incineration, hoping to extract the Water God Pearl and Zhenzhen Pearl from it, along with any other treasures.
However, after three days and nights of burning, the bones inside the Refining Furnace had already turned to ash. They fished out a fist-sized white orb from within.
A group of people surrounded the white orb, but no one could guess what it was.
Since it was something extracted from Xiao Yun, they speculated that it must be a priceless treasure. Therefore, Watanabe Masao gathered top experts in Ancient Martial Arts from Island Nation and leading scientists to study what material this white orb was made of.
To their surprise, those Ancient Martial Arts experts and scientists nearly blinded themselves trying to study it but could not determine what the white orb was. They used various instruments for testing but failed to detect any spiritual energy or ascertain its specific value.
This situation infuriated Watanabe Masao's superior—the mysterious woman with the veiled face. What on earth could this group of useless people in Island Nation do?
The mysterious woman held the white orb in her hand, glaring at Watanabe Masao with anger. She said, "Watanabe Masao, a Xiao Yun came to my Island Nation and stole our Water God Pearl and Zhenzhen Pearl. You sent so many people but couldn't capture him. If it weren't for that battle with the Three Immortals Hall, you probably wouldn't have gotten even a hair from him. This is bad enough, but I don't understand—since you obtained his body, how come you only got this white orb and can't even figure out what it is?"
"Madam," Watanabe Masao replied nervously, "the Kameda Brothers from Three Immortals Island have already cultivated into Half-Immortal Bodies. In my opinion, it's possible that they sealed whatever treasures were inside Xiao Yun's body with some kind of spiritual energy before they died!"
The mysterious woman coldly laughed and said, "You say this white orb's energy is sealed by some spiritual power; then tell me, what is your basis for that?"
"This... this..." Watanabe Masao was suddenly at a loss for words.
Even those Ancient Martial Arts experts couldn't decipher this thing; where could he find a basis?
Seeing Watanabe Masao's stammering demeanor made the mysterious woman even angrier. In her eyes, failing to find the spiritual energy of this white orb was no different than dealing with ordinary stones.
Bang!
The mysterious woman casually tossed the white orb aside and coldly said, "Watanabe Masao, tell me honestly—was the corpse you brought back really Xiao Yun's?"
Hearing her words, Watanabe Masao couldn't help but be taken aback. Did this woman suspect that the corpse was fake?
To be more precise, she was clearly doubting me, Watanabe Masao.
Thinking of this, Watanabe Masao couldn't help but shiver. He understood this woman's ruthlessness; if she truly became suspicious of someone, that person could very well disappear from this world in just a few days.
Among the agents of the Island Nation, anyone familiar with this woman knew of her formidable reputation.
"In response to the lady's inquiry, that corpse indeed belongs to Xiao Yun. I absolutely dare not be careless in this matter!" Watanabe Masao said while wiping the cold sweat from his face.
The mysterious woman was certainly aware of Watanabe Masao's character; he had always been very loyal to the Island Nation, and he wouldn't dare deceive her.
The mysterious woman softened her tone and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it. Since Xiao Yun is already dead, let's put this matter aside for now. The Snow Festival is approaching, and I need to soak my Heart-Cleansing Pearl in the blood of Long San from the Paradise Beauty Club to restore its spirit. As far as I know, many factions are vying to seize this Heart-Cleansing Pearl. On the day of the Snow Festival, you are responsible for security; there must be no mistakes!"
"I understand!" Watanabe Masao replied.
The mysterious woman waved her hand again and said, "Alright, you may leave!"
"Yes!" Watanabe Masao felt as if he had received a pardon and hurriedly exited the secret room.
Once Watanabe Masao left the secret room, the mysterious woman proceeded to make a phone call: "Akiko Akiya..."
