Chapter 1406 - 1373: The Expanding Impact

Chapter 1406: Chapter 1373: The Expanding Impact

In this ordinary deep night, the entire supernatural circle was shaken.

One major event after another was exposed by some people on the Exorcist website, a site that although most exorcists don’t pay much attention to, they occasionally browse to understand the movements within the supernatural circle.

“One of the twelve captains of headquarters, Zhang Jun, was murdered; the culprit turned out to be a member of the King Organization?”

“Goodness, the Ark Plan is being implemented, the Ghost Ship will land within a few days.”

“Yang Jian, ghost eye of Dachang City, leading all captains of headquarters and all city leaders, has declared war on the King Organization. Oh my god, is this going to start a world war? You must know, the King Organization is a new organization formed by the headquarters of exorcists from several foreign countries, although called the King Organization, it’s practically an Exorcist Alliance.”

“Supernatural incidents are frequent; fighting at this critical juncture will completely ruin the situation. Quickly find a good place to take refuge, make sure not to get involved.”

On the website, many exorcists, shocked after seeing the news, started discussing fervently.

Because this matter concerns everyone in the supernatural circle, no one can stay uninvolved, and the victory or defeat of this war will decide the future direction.

Whether the King Organization is destroyed, with Yang Jian-led headquarters reigning supreme, or the Ark Plan is smoothly implemented and the domestic situation collapses, turning into a realm ravaged by supernatural forces, everything depends on this struggle.

“I want to join headquarters, kill the King Organization, damn it, the implementation of this Ark Plan is clearly about not letting us survive, right?” Someone also expressed their stance anonymously in outrage.

“Rational analysis, the visible strength in this battle is undoubtedly the King Organization. This organization has already become dominant abroad, practically unstoppable, countless members absorbed, while domestic headquarters has only twelve captains to show for, and now one has died, only eleven left. Do you know how many ’Kings’ the King Organization has? A full fifteen, and this is just visible. Because behind each ’King’ represents the power of a nation, consider that weight.”

“Such disparity? Then I must join the King Organization, better pick a side first.”

“I also choose the King Organization.”

Some ’insiders’ deliberately leaked information on the website, using so-called data to guide civilian exorcists, telling them about the strength of the King Organization, arguably before the struggle even starts, the battle of public opinion has already begun.

This information kept refreshing, and as time passed, the website’s information increased, and the event’s influence kept expanding.

Li Yang was drinking coffee, looking at these messages online, slightly frowning: “The other side is indeed prepared, as soon as the news is posted, they’ve already started building momentum and controlling the direction of public opinion. The captain posted this news somewhat urgently, many responsive strategies have not been prepared.”

“However, the captain is also desperate, immediate counterattack is crucial to scare off the King Organization, stabilize the situation, the longer it drags, the more passive it’ll be, first making a statement is also very key.”

“Oh no, Japan’s Exorcism Club has spoken, indeed, Exorcism Club is siding with the King Organization?”

Subsequently, a piece of information caught his attention, Li Yang saw the president of Japan’s Exorcism Club express support for implementing the Ark Plan, and also willing to make corresponding compensation and aid for domestic headquarters’ concessions and sacrifices… words are somewhat grandiose but the stance is clear.

“So eager to express their stance, this doesn’t quite fit Exorcism Club’s style, something surely happened on Exorcism Club’s side? Last time the captain mentioned, Exorcism Club had problems, but I don’t know the specific reason.”

Li Yang frowned further, he increasingly felt the implementation of the Ark Plan was carefully planned, definitely not a sudden whim.

However, after Exorcism Club spoke, Dahai City’s supernatural forum also voiced support, expressing cooperation with Yang Jian and declaring war on the King Organization.

Dahai City’s Ye Zhen holds considerable weight in the supernatural circle, this statement caused a noticeable stir on the internet.

“Ye Zhen is foolish, at this time, observing from the sidelines, exploiting both sides, that would be wonderful, the waters here are deep, he simply can’t handle it, now hurriedly expressing stance, how to deal if the situation changes later, leaving no margin for himself, alas, I said before, Yang Jian is ill-considered, Ye Zhen lacks wisdom, I was truly right.”

A netizen named ’I Have a Plan’ spoke up.

“Bullshit, Xiao Yang is invincible, can’t possibly lose, King Organization will definitely die miserably, you all wait and see, don’t cry and beg for mercy on your knees then.” A exorcist user named ’Xiao Yang I am Your Dad’ spoke.

As more people flooded the site, the discussion gradually became somewhat misguided.

While Li Yang focused on information, Liu Xiaoyu was also urgently contacting headquarters.

In fact, such a major matter doesn’t need Liu Xiaoyu to contact, headquarters’ Cao Yanhua has already eagerly tried to find Yang Jian.

“Why suddenly declare war? Such a major matter, why didn’t anyone tell me a word, Yang Jian should know what this declaration of war means, Zhang Jun’s death is still under investigation, the culprit has not been confirmed, not everyone in King Organization participated in that murder, many forces are unaware, his declaration of war is making many stand against us, this is too impulsive, give me the phone to Yang Jian, I must communicate with him directly.”

Cao Yanhua connected with Liu Xiaoyu, at this moment he wasn’t angry, only filled with dread, because the situation has spiraled completely out of control, and it happened without his knowledge.

“Deputy Minister, now Yang Jian has already left Shangtong Tower and whereabouts unknown. Also, the message is already sent out, impossible to retract, furthermore, Yang Jian has already decided, and asks you, Deputy Minister, to respond to Yang Jian’s declaration of war, otherwise…” Liu Xiaoyu paused here.

“Otherwise what?” Cao Yanhua asked urgently.

Liu Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, still said, “Otherwise, dismiss you, replace with a new minister.”

“What? Dismiss me?” Cao Yanhua was stunned.

Liu Xiaoyu did not speak, actually still hiding something, Yang Jian’s real intention was far more severe than just dismissal.

Cao Yanhua wasn’t angry at this moment, instead deeply frowned, he understood clearly this time Yang Jian was serious, and no one can stop him, nor possibly persuade him, everyone can only cooperate, anyone obstructing Yang Jian’s decision will be dealt with.

Dismissal is merely a warning; Cao Yanhua believes if he truly dared to oppose, Yang Jian might make him disappear or replace him with a new ’Cao Yanhua’ directly.

Yang Jian possesses this kind of ability to pull it off.

“I understand. I’ll cooperate with him. I hope he takes his time in dismissing me, giving me some leeway to handle certain matters at headquarters. Let Yang Jian go ahead and do what he needs to. I’ll take responsibility for any issues. After everything is over, I will resign to pave the way for a clean slate for the next in line to cooperate with him.”

Cao Yanhua took a deep breath, making a concession, while also clarifying his stance.

“Alright, Deputy Minister, thank you for your hard work.” Liu Xiaoyu pursed her lips, expressing gratitude for Cao Yanhua’s gesture.

“It’s my duty, especially now that the Ghost Ship is heading our way. This isn’t the time to harbor any illusions. This is a battle to the death. I just feel Yang Jian’s approach is a bit impulsive. But since things have reached this point, I won’t say much more. He can decide when and how to fight, and this time, the headquarters will unwaveringly back him.”

“I’ll relay your words to Yang Jian,” Liu Xiaoyu replied earnestly.

Cao Yanhua said, “Alright, I’ll need to start taking action on my end. Keep in constant contact. If necessary, have Yang Jian come to headquarters, preferably to convene a second captain’s meeting. But his current decision isn’t wrong either; first, stabilize the situation. Chaos is not an option, especially since no one knows what will happen next.”

“Understood,” Liu Xiaoyu replied solemnly.

After putting down the phone,

Cao Yanhua inside the headquarters looked across at someone sitting opposite him: “Wang Guoqiang, originally, after the Hungry Ghost incident blew up, I should have resigned and let you take over the headquarters, but now I’m very sorry. I have to stay on as Deputy Minister a bit longer.”

The man named Wang Guoqiang was a man in his early thirties dressed in a suit, appearing mature, steady, and resolute – a person who feared no challenge.

“Declaring war unexpectedly, this event has too much impact, coupled with the Hungry Ghost incident, and you can’t bear this responsibility.”

Wang Guoqiang replied seriously, “If you resign now, you can have a peaceful retirement. But if you take on this matter, you know what the consequences will be.”

“I can give my all, including this life of mine,” Cao Yanhua said, knocking the table heavily.

“I know you mean well for me, but at this moment, I can’t shy away. Everyone is making sacrifices; I don’t want to be an exception. I hope you can help me handle the headquarters matters.”

Wang Guoqiang sighed. “In that case, what can I say? I’ll assist you.”

“Then let’s get moving. There are still many things waiting for us to do,” Cao Yanhua stood up.

However, late at night, Yang Jian, who had left Dachang City, arrived alone at Dahan City.

This was a familiar place, the Ghost Post Office.

But now, it should no longer be called the Ghost Post Office; instead, it was the Hell Apartment, although this name was not yet well-known, and people habitually still referred to it as the Post Office earlier.

“Captain Yang.”

Upon entering the door, Sun Rui, leaning on a cane, stood in the hall to greet him: “With this significant event breaking out, I knew you would definitely come to my place.”

Yang Jian said, “There’s about to be a fight outside, and I need to confirm the people I can use. How’s Wei Jing doing now?”

“There’ve been some changes, but he hasn’t surfaced yet,” Sun Rui sighed. “It seems he can’t be used for now, but you can find another person to help.”

“He Yuelian?”

Yang Jian reacted, looking at another corner of the hall.

At some point, a woman dressed in a red wedding gown with a red veil strange stood there, motionless.

“Captain Yang,”

He Yuelian’s voice emanated from beneath the veil.

Yang Jian said, “Did Sun Rui tell you about the previous situation?”

“International organizations and headquarters are about to clash, and I’ve roughly understood this matter a bit,” He Yuelian replied.

“What are your thoughts? Would you be willing to join headquarters to fight against the King Organization, or would you rather stay here and ignore the outside matters?” Yang Jian asked.

He Yuelian said, “If possible, I’d be willing to follow you, Captain Yang, to fight against the King Organization. Recently, I’ve almost mastered my supernatural powers and might be able to contribute.”

“Alright, after today, leave the Ghost Post Office with me. I’ll arrange for you to join headquarters and become the new person in charge of Da’ao City. If you perform well, you’ll also become the new captain,” Yang Jian said.

“I’m not too keen on becoming a captain. I just think it’s better for this world to be peaceful. The King Organization’s actions are indeed a bit excessive, and I also want to help you,” He Yuelian expressed her viewpoint.

Yang Jian nodded, not saying much further, but continued to ask, “Sun Rui, I remember Feng Quan is also here, where is he? I need him to return to Dachang City now.”

“Feng Quan is in there,” Sun Rui pointed.

There lay a massive ancient grave, eerie and terrifying, burying Feng Quan, and also burying Wei Jing, and burying the Ghost Envoy.
