Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 830 - 827: On the Road
CHAPTER 830: CHAPTER 827: ON THE ROAD
In truth, with the methods of the Demon Sect, there are countless ways to make the Yu Family’s descendants live a life worse than death for generations.
But these methods are too sinister, too covert, and take too long to have a deterrent effect.
Nothing compares to the satisfaction of a single sword slashing through the world.
At this moment, the people at the Special Affairs Bureau were somewhat panicked.
As soon as Shen Siyuan killed Yu Donghai, the Special Affairs Bureau received the news.
They knew the Yu Family would be retaliated against, but they didn’t expect Shen Siyuan’s revenge to come so quickly and be so brutal.
And in broad daylight, the methods were extremely vicious, directly blowing the person into a mist of blood.
The only thing that brought them some peace of mind was that although the act of murder happened in broad daylight with many witnesses, not many videos were circulating online.
This was because when the opponent drew his sword, powerful electromagnetic waves were emitted, instantly destroying all electronic devices.
Even if captured from a great distance, the footage only showed a blur of light, remarkably unclear, which made the job of the Special Affairs Bureau’s media control department much easier.
But upon learning that Shen Siyuan was headed straight for Xiajing, Wu Xing, the director of the Special Affairs Bureau, was a bit flustered.
He hurriedly called all the team members back, even requesting the presence of the warehouse management department head.
Here, it’s necessary to mention the organizational structure of the Special Affairs Bureau again.
The Special Affairs Bureau is mainly divided into the field operations group, office group, archive department, and warehouse management section.
The field operations group has the fewest personnel, as individuals with special abilities are rare nationwide. Many such inherited abilities have vanished over time, so the entire Special Affairs Bureau only has two field operation groups with a total of seven people.
However, the office group, archive department, and warehouse management section, together, total hundreds of personnel.
Especially the office group, which is responsible for intelligence gathering, public opinion control, and other such tasks.
"Mei Xian, why isn’t Xiao Nan here?" Wu Xing glanced around the meeting and asked Song Meixian.
"I’ve sent her back to Bin Hai; she should be at the airport now," Song Meixian replied promptly.
"Call her and have her come back first," Wu Xing said.
Then he turned to the side to look at Mr. Gao and his group members.
Gao Yongdao, nicknamed Little Knife, is skilled with a palm-sized Yin Yang Blade. This knife’s name isn’t just for show; it can truly cut yin and yang, capable of slaying both the living dead and the dead, giving the Yin Yang Blade its name.
Little Knife is an elder figure in the Special Affairs Bureau, much older than the second group’s leader, Song Meixian.
"Little Knife, I have a task for you." Wu Xing said with a serious expression.
"Director, please go ahead," Gao Yongdao responded earnestly upon hearing this.
"Shen Siyuan is on his way to Xiajing; you should make contact with him," Wu Xing said, turning to look at the office group leader.
"How long until he arrives in Xiajing?"
"According to our estimates, it should be less than an hour." The office group leader replied.
Wu Xing frowned upon hearing this, "Why so fast? Wasn’t it said that his flying speed is only supersonic?"
"We initially estimated so, but satellite data from our side showed that his speed increased along the way, surpassing supersonic speed, and there’s a trend of him continuing to accelerate. An hour is a conservative estimate." The office group leader said.
Before encountering Shen Siyuan, he wouldn’t have believed humans could achieve such speed, as it entirely surpasses human capabilities.
"It shouldn’t be too fast," Wu Xing sighed.
Everyone understood what Wu Xing meant. Intelligence showed that the opponent had a capability to traverse space instantly, with speeds comparable only to light.
Yet the opponent didn’t use this method; instead, he chose a grand approach to come to Xiajing, clearly intending to showcase his power to certain individuals.
Wu Xing thought for a moment then said to Gao Yongdao: "Choose someone from the office group to go with you and see if you can gather more intelligence."
The office group leader was taken aback, as they were an internal department only responsible for office affairs. Even intelligence gathering was done through other departments.
It was highly unusual for the director to assign an external task to their department’s staff.
Yet the office group leader was not new to the workplace and quickly understood. Upon glancing at Gao Yongdao and seeing his calm demeanor, he immediately realized what was happening, his face turning pale, and he looked instinctively at the director, Wu Xing.
"Director, I..."
Wu Xing waved, interrupting him, and didn’t let him continue.
Instead, he said to Song Meixian: "If Xiao Nan returns in time, let her accompany Mr. Gao as well."
Song Meixian glanced at the office group leader, then nodded.
"Alright, that’s all for now; return to your tasks. Mr. Zhou, please stay behind." Wu Xing said.
Mr. Zhou, as mentioned, was the leader of the office group.

"Wow... this rainbow is so weird..."
"Is this some new kind of aircraft...?"
"UFO, quickly record it..."
"So beautiful, yet such a mysterious rainbow, is it a meteor..."
"Quick, record it..."
"Why is it just a blur of light...?"
...
Shen Siyuan’s flight was visible to the naked eye, naturally drawing the attention of many on the ground.
At first, people thought it was a rainbow, but gradually noticed something was wrong. It looked more like a missile’s trajectory or some special aircraft’s exhaust...
Ordinary people could see it, so naturally, air force bases detected this special flying object.
They reported it up the chain, asking if interception or shooting it down was necessary.
But the higher-ups were clear: prohibit any action.
Even though they had advanced weapons that could directly kill the opponent mid-air.
But what about it? For Shen Siyuan, death is certainly not the end, an undeniable fact.
So all bases opted for inaction, though various instruments were trained on the sky, measuring flight speed, magnetic field strength, energy intensity, etc...
But none of these affected Shen Siyuan.
It was his first long-distance flight over such a distance. Not only did this enhance his understanding of the Magnetic Escape’s properties, but he also gained more insights, which was the fundamental reason for his speed increase during flight.
Practice brings true knowledge, a truth applicable anywhere.
This was also the first time Shen Siyuan viewed the vast landscapes of his homeland from this perspective, and the hostility within him from killing dissipated, his mind merging with the world.
At that moment, he forgot about revenge, forgot his purpose, even forgot himself.
The Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword, with the Five Elements preceding and Primordial Magnetism following, spoke volumes, for though Shen Siyuan now wielded the Magnetic Sword Control, its core essence remained the Five Elements and Primordial Magnetism.
At that moment, the Five Elements Qi pervading the world seemed to come alive. Though, in this End of Dharma era, the Five Elements Qi had become inert and nearly devoid of activity aside from circulating among themselves, at that moment, it was as if a drop of water had been added to a pan of hot oil.
All the Five Elements Qi became active, converging around Shen Siyuan’s form.
