Chapter 718 It’s cool to have a backer

"As far as I know, there were at least thirteen Five Shadows active in the world, but the seats of the Five Shadows are fixed at five."

"At that time, the outside world thought that this was just a normal change of positions within the Kingdom of Shadows. Only we knew that the old five shadows that had not been heard from were actually devoured by the Shadow King."

"In other words, there are at least eight S-class dark attribute awakeners who have been devoured by the Shadow King on the surface."

"There are even more dark attribute awakened people who were secretly devoured by him!"

"At that time, this information caused an uproar within the Cultivation Department."

"They quickly protected the dark attribute awakeners in the country, but in the end, all the protected dark attribute awakeners disappeared into their hiding places without exception."

"After discovering this, the Cultivation Department was extremely shocked and angry, but there was nothing they could do about it."

"In the end, they had to release a message to let all the dark attribute awakened people in the country hide themselves."

"It's probably because of this news that Wenwen has been hiding herself and pretending to be an ordinary person..."

At this point, Deng Herong's pupils shrank and he asked anxiously: "Ancestor, you said before that Wenwen was in trouble. Will she be found by the people from the Shadow Kingdom?"

"...I did find it."

Deng Yougang nodded, and then said calmly: "But don't worry, since they dare to take action against that girl, the life of this organization will be over."

Bailang next to him said enthusiastically: "Shadow King, this title is quite resounding. Why don't you let me go and meet him?"

Deng Yougang quickly stopped him and said, "No, please don't. This is the earth, not a different world. You should take a rest first. If you lose your strength..."

Bai Lang interrupted dissatisfiedly: "What, you don't believe me so much?"

Deng Youcong nodded, expressing his true distrust.

Bai Lang's head was covered with black lines. He groaned twice and sat on the chair next to the bed angrily.

Deng Herong looked at the two of them in surprise, and finally realized that Bai Lang seemed to be the strongest of the two.

This guy is so strong that our ancestors didn't dare to let him take action, as if he was worried that his battle would hurt too many innocent people...

But is this too exaggerated?

The ancestor is a strong man who can purify the air in the entire province with just a wave of his hand. This level of strength is already unparalleled in his eyes. The white senior next to him is actually stronger than him...

Deng Herong was extremely shocked.

At this moment, Deng Yougang seemed to notice something and turned to look at the door of the ward.

"Xiao Rong, the person involved will be here soon. You should have a good chat with her!"

"……Um."

Deng Herong came back to his senses, suppressed the shock in his heart, and nodded solemnly.

Whether it was the identity of the dark attribute awakener or Wenwen's actions of acting alone without telling him, it was somewhat beyond his expectation. He really needed to have a good chat with his childhood sweetheart...

Not long after, the door to the ward was opened, and the somewhat uneasy girl walked in together with the old swordsman.

After entering the ward, Wang Yue and Deng Yougang looked at each other, nodded, and turned into spirits and disappeared.

Shang Xiaowen stood at the door, her head slightly lowered, her white hands twirling the corners of her clothes, as if she didn't dare to look up.

Deng Yougang raised the corner of his mouth when he saw this, winked at Bai Lang next to him, then stood up and walked towards the door.

Bai Lang smiled and patted Deng Herong on the shoulder, then put his hands behind his head and followed Deng Yougang out of the ward.

When the two closed the door and left, the entire ward fell into silence.

Not long after, the young man on the hospital bed spoke first: "Wenwen, my illness is cured."

"……Um?"

Shang Xiaowen suddenly raised her head and looked at Deng Herong in shock.

Deng Herong said softly: "My ancestors cured my spiritual energy depletion disease, and now I can continue to practice."

"Really?"

Shang Xiaowen's face was full of surprise and she stepped forward quickly.

"Of course it's true." Deng Herong replied with a chuckle, then took a deep breath and said seriously, "Wenwen, let's have a good chat. No matter what trouble you have, I am willing to face it with you."

"Even if I can't handle it, there are still the Deng family and our ancestors of the Deng family."

"His old man is a powerful being who can even cure spiritual energy depletion disease."

"The news that spread throughout the province in the past two days was also his handiwork."

"With him here, even the Shadow Kingdom will definitely not be a problem!"

"...Do you know everything?" Shang Xiaowen looked at him with a complicated face, then paused and asked in confusion, "I have been hearing you talk about the ancestor of the Deng family, who is the ancestor, and that swordsman Well, his surname is Wang?"

Deng Herong was startled for a moment, then sighed and began to explain Deng Yougang's identity to her.

…

…

At the same time, in the corridor outside the ward, Deng Yougang and Bai Lang were listening to Wang Yue's account of what had just happened.

Of course, Deng Yougang actually knew these things, and also received more comprehensive information from Deng Herong.

Compared with Deng Herong, who was once the top practitioner of the Cultivation Department, Shang Xiaowen has been pretending to be an ordinary person after all.

She had no channels for obtaining information, and her understanding of the Shadow Kingdom was limited to the information released by the Ministry of Cultivation and her own inferences after contact with the blond young man.

This understanding is too one-sided.

That's why she had the illusion that 'I can handle it' and decided to go alone to deal with the blond young man.

If she could have known the mutual devouring characteristics of dark magic, she would never have made such a reckless and stupid decision.

After Deng Yougang finished exchanging information with Wang Yue, he asked Wang Yue to stay and protect the two of them, while he and Bai Lang left the hospital and went to the building of the Cultivation Department in Jinghai City.

There, they met Fu Guojian and two old men who had obviously just gotten off the plane.

The five people discussed the issue of the Space-Time Management Bureau and the Pan-Chinese Alliance for about three hours, and then quickly reached a consensus that the old man would build the organizational structure and provide support in terms of manpower, funds, and authority.

Deng Yougang and Bailang only needed to devote their knowledge and means, and select one person to temporarily act as director for a month.

After the meeting, the two old men left in a hurry, and the entire China started to move quickly with their departure.

Looking at the planes taking off at the airport, Bai Lang couldn't help but sigh: "With the support from above, it's really much easier to do things!"

Deng Yougang smiled, turned to look at Fu Guojian and said, "I asked the Cultivation Department to investigate, how is the investigation going?"

The smile on Fu Guojian's face faded and he said seriously: "We have already notified the practitioners of all the cultivation branches in the 240 ecological cities across the country. We have mobilized them to conduct a blanket search."

"As long as the alien force you mentioned takes action, we will be able to discover it immediately!"

Deng Yougang nodded, and then said softly: "Although I don't want them to appear in China, if it does happen, the frontline practitioners must be evacuated as soon as possible, and all residents of the surrounding ecological cities must be evacuated."

Fu Guojian nodded solemnly and said, "I understand!"

Deng Yougang smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this issue for now. Minister Fu, does the Cultivation Department know anything about the Kingdom of Shadows?"

Fu Guojian was slightly startled, frowned and said, "Have you met someone from the Shadow Kingdom?"

Deng Yougang shook his head: "It's not me, it's a friend of a junior in my family."

After saying that, Deng Yougang paused and said with a smile: "You should know my whereabouts these days, right?"

Fu Guojian looked a little embarrassed and nodded lightly.

Deng Yougang didn't care and continued: "You guessed it right, I come from the Deng family in the Northeast, and I have the same roots as the Deng family in your world, so I contacted them, and then they decided to worship the Deng family in my world. The master of the house..."

"Your Cultivation Department shouldn't have any objections to this kind of thing, right?"

"Of course not!" Fu Guojian said sternly, "Recognizing your ancestors and returning to your clan is a matter of course, and we definitely support it."

"But..." Fu Guojian paused and considered his words before saying, "One code is the same. We will definitely not say more about the connection between blood and clan, but other aspects..."

Deng Yougang smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is not the first time we have accepted a branch. The family has experience in dealing with this kind of situation, and there are strict family rules and laws to limit it. It will never have any bad impact on you."

...Family rules and laws?

Fu Guojian frowned, but immediately said: "That's no problem!"

Deng Yougang nodded, then smiled and said: "Send me the latest information about the Shadow Kingdom. I am very interested in this organization. If nothing else, I should help you get rid of the Shadow King."

Fu Guojian's eyes lit up and he said immediately: "Please come with me!"

…

…

Not long after, Deng Yougang appeared in the ward of the Cultivation Ministry Hospital again.

Facing the confused looks of Shang Xiaowen and Deng Herong, he threw a piece of paper information on the hospital bed.

After the influx of magic into the world, many awakened beings with electromagnetic abilities appeared one after another, and paper materials rose again, becoming the safest way to store confidential information.

"……What's this?"

Deng Herong picked up the information with a puzzled expression.

Deng Yougang glanced at him and said calmly: "The Shadow Kingdom member who contacted Xiaowen is named Kenny. He is a candidate for the Five Shadows who has been active in East Asia recently. He has a rather bad character and likes to gently invite people to join him first. Organize, and then watch and torture each other.”

Having said this, Deng Yougang paused, turned to look at the astonished Shang Xiaowen and said lightly: "According to his habit, if you really decide to join the Shadow Kingdom, he will kill you on your return after you leave China. The family and friends you care about most.”

"Don't think this behavior is unreasonable. Xiaorong should have told you. Shadow Kingdom is such a twisted and crazy organization. Its members have long been driven into lunatics and perverts by the Shadow King."

"It would be foolish of you to try to deal with them alone."

Shang Xiaowen lowered her head with a complicated and guilty expression.

Deng Herong, who was beside her, gently held her palm, giving her warmth and comfort.

Deng Yougang glanced at them, turned and walked towards the door of the ward, leaving a few words at the same time.

"Xiao Rong, rest for two days, and then follow me to destroy the Kingdom of Shadows. All dark attribute magic power will belong to Xiaowen. In this way, no dark attribute awakened person in the world can threaten her..."

Hearing Deng Yougang's words, Deng Herong and Shang Xiaowen were both startled.

The former suddenly smiled, held the girl's hand, stood up and respectfully said to Deng Yougang: "Thank you, ancestor!"
