Divine Continent Empire , Nine Continents City, sunny.
It had been a week since War God King Lin Xuanyuan left Nine Continents City and returned to Emperor Armament Mountain. Similarly, this also meant that a week had passed since War God King was attacked.
Regarding the attack on Lin Xuanyuan, The higher-ups of the Divine Continent Empire expressed their great importance, In less than 15 minutes, An aerial formation rushed to the scene. This reaction speed could already be said to be extremely fast. However, when the air force arrived, the attack had already ended. The attack failed. This was a result that no one was surprised by. Lin Xuanyuan and the others continued to rush to the airport as if nothing had happened. Only a few of the attackers' corpses were left on the scene.
All aspects of the empire immediately moved. In such a sensitive period, no one dared to treat Lin Xuanyuan as a trivial matter when such an important figure was attacked.
The first is to publish the news, Although we don't know who the murderer is, But at a time like this, What was needed was always a reason, not the truth. The attackers were quickly labeled as American spies. The news said that they had risked their lives to assassinate, but failed. They explained it vaguely and mixed it with official words that seemed useful but did not have any real meaning. The people were quickly appeased.
After all, this was a sensitive period, and the losses suffered by the United States were quite heavy. It was easy for everyone to understand why the United States was in such a hurry to jump over the wall and do something extremely out of line. It wasn't as if there were too many ripples in their hearts. A few words of mockery on the Internet would be over.
In the current Divine Continent Empire, although the atmosphere was oppressive, the people were definitely happy. Most of the pressure came from the borders. Even if the results that people really didn't want to see appeared at the borders, the chances of directly threatening the survival of the people weren't very high. After all, both sides had ways to check and balance each other.
Under the effect of mutual deterrence, it was clear that neither side wanted to die together. Therefore, most of the time, it was a battle between people. Moreover, it was foreseeable that the war would start like this and basically end like this.
In such a restrained war, as long as the imperial army did not reach the entrance, the people did not need to be too nervous.
The emotions of the ordinary people were calmed down, but within the higher-ups of the enemy country, there was an uproar for a week.
After the attack, The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Military Affairs immediately formed a high-level task force, headed by Imperial Policy-making Bureau members, State Councilors, Academicians of the Central Academy, and Minister of Justice Guo Zhining Nu. Helian Tengyun, Director of the Second Department of the General Staff, served as the Standing Deputy Team Leader, and the Ministry of Justice and the military sent elites to investigate the attack to the end.
The task force took over the scene as quickly as possible. Guo Zhining personally inspected the attacker's corpse and came to a rather conservative conclusion.
The attackers were all Asian.
Asian.
This was a very interesting word. It could be interpreted as an Asian from another country, or as a member of the Divine Continent Empire.
At the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureau that night, the big shots also argued quite unhappily about who the murderer was.
In other words, the leaders of the southwest faction were arguing unhappily.
The two leaders of the southwest faction, Xu Dongping, member of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureau and chairman of the Political Consultative Council, and Xu Shangfeng, director of the Spiritual Civilization Committee of the Empire, opened fire together. The moment they spoke, they pointed their spears at the martial arts forces of the hermits.
Xu Dongping had a very good reason.
After the outbreak of the war, the Ministry of Justice and the military conducted a comprehensive investigation of some foreigners with special status, especially those from the United States, Japan, Korea, Yue, India, and other countries. To the greatest extent, they prevented any enemy agents from lurking in the Divine Continent Empire.
Similarly, the matter of War God King Lin Xuanyuan awakening was extremely confidential. With the security situation of War God King's Mansion, it was impossible for enemy agents to sneak into War God King's Mansion and grasp the news of War God King awakening.
Lin Xuanyuan woke up in less than a few hours and was attacked. If it was really an enemy agent, from entering the country to preparing weapons to designating an attack plan, there was not enough time.
Therefore, it was basically impossible for agents from other countries to attack Lin Xuanyuan.
In other words, this attack against Lin Xuanyuan, during the war, during the sensitive period when Lin Xuanyuan had just made great contributions to the empire, the murderer who attacked Lin Xuanyuan was the so-called one of his own.
Bastard, traitor, embarrassment!
At the Policy Bureau Standing Committee, Xu Dongping's words were extremely hard to hear. Everyone could tell that his anger and excitement came from the bottom of his heart. At the meeting, he acted more like a king than a king. In other words, in front of the war, Xu Dongping had completely let go of the grievances of the factions.
Lin Xuanyuan was a hero and a hero. No one could deny how much help he had given the empire in the United States.
When he returned this time, he could have been respected by everyone, but in the end, he was attacked. Although it was shocking and safe, Xu Dongping was still extremely angry and wished to shoot all the murderers and the masterminds behind the scenes to death!
Xu Shangfeng was worthy of being Xu Dongping's old comrade-in-arms for many years. As soon as Xu Dongping finished speaking, he took over the conversation and expressed his strong dissatisfaction with those martial arts forces that had yet to emerge from the mountain.
He did not say anything unpleasant, but his words were as fierce as Xu Dongping's. He suggested that the Standing Committee should reconsider whether to release this group of sinners with historical errors and powerful destructive power.
Because the current situation in the United States was relatively optimistic and there was no unsustainable situation on the border, he felt that it was unnecessary to release all those martial arts forces. There was even no need for them to exist. As soon as the War God King awakened, they dared to attack. Would they still dare to attack the upper echelons of the empire in the future?
This was a group of dangerous elements that should be completely annihilated by the Ninth Garrison Division. Their existence was not suitable for the current Divine Continent Empire.
At the meeting, no one would forget Lin Qingtian's embarrassed and gloomy expression.
Once upon a time, The four giants of the southwest faction advanced and retreated together, The clouds were raining down, and the scenery was boundless. However, Xu Dongping and Xu Shangfeng were the same amongst the four giants of the southwest faction. As for Gao Changhe and Lin Qingtian, they were their true friends. Normally, this kind of relationship didn't seem to matter. After all, they were all from the same big group. No one would tear down anyone when necessary.
However, the martial arts forces did not know what had happened. They had offended Xu Shangfeng and Xu Dongping. As long as there was a chance, they had to express their opposition. Even though this issue had already been resolved and sent to the empire's secret service system, the two of them still insisted on their opinions.
This directly caused the southwest faction to split into two voices. One was for the martial arts faction to emerge from the mountains, while the other was resolutely opposed to it. The issue of unity within the group had also become extremely difficult because of this matter. The four giants had already begun to move further and further away. No one had expected this.
And for the sake of unity within factions, Lin Qingtian had tried to communicate with Xu Shangfeng and Xu Dongping several times, but they were still useless. The two old men were clearly determined to look at the martial arts forces with displeasure. One or two times, Lin Qingtian could still put on a smile, but more times, no matter how good his temper was, he was filled with anger. On the contrary, the personal relationship between the two sides was quite distant.
However, the meeting did not end well, Lin Qingtian cited the fact that he did not know where the attacker came from as a reason, Stopping Xu Shangfeng and Xu Dongping's words, he really didn't dare to vote in the Standing Committee. As a leader of the southern faction who was often out of the ordinary, Imperial Prime Minister Yang Xiu was definitely neutral on this issue. After all, he didn't get any benefits from these martial arts forces coming out of the mountains.
As for the royal family, The attitude of the royal clan had been clearer before, However, after Lin Xuanyuan was attacked, it was inevitable that the royal giants would not change their minds. If the royal giants supported Xu Shangfeng and Xu Dongping in this vote, then the conflicts within the southwest faction would be clear. All the martial arts forces would also suffer a calamity. No matter what, Lin Qingtian did not dare to take the risk.
As for Xu Shangfeng, he was clearly not reassured by the reason given by Lin Qingtian. He made it clear that in the current Divine Continent Empire, only those martial arts forces had the courage and strength to attack Lin Xuanyuan. He had to send the Ninth Division to investigate this matter.
The four giants of the southwest faction almost fought in the Standing Committee. In the end, it was Lin Qingtian who displayed the authority of the supreme leader and forcefully dismissed the meeting, barely allowing the influence to continue to expand.
However, after this meeting, everyone knew that the differences between the four major powers of the southwest faction had gradually become irreconcilable because of these martial arts forces.
If this problem could not be dealt with properly, perhaps in the near future, the empire's former first faction might face the danger of direct division.
