My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times-Chapter 183 - 30: A Grand Gamble, an Unprecedented Great Era

Chapter 183: Chapter 30: A Grand Gamble, an Unprecedented Great Era

At this moment, the entire hall was silent. The only sounds were the heavy, ragged breathing of the various dignitaries and the frantic beating of their hearts.

You couldn’t blame them. The scene just now had been too fast, too sudden. Two great figures at the Earth Immortal Level—while not at the absolute apex of the world, they were certainly among the upper echelon.

One was a director of Sakata Heavy Industries, a man who stood above countless others. Yet now, he had been slapped to death by a youth who looked to be seventeen or eighteen, his spirit extinguished without the slightest struggle.

The other was from the mysterious Life Tower. He had arrived stepping on a lotus, his presence even more imposing than Sakata Izumi’s. But the result? He fared no better. A single palm strike, and he was already on the verge of death, with only half a breath left in him!

This Lu Xuan...

Some of the dignitaries with better memories already recalled him. They had heard his name a few months ago and seen his photo. He was the one who had slain the prodigy of the Demon Race in East Sea City!

They had been stunned back then, of course, but compared to the scene at this very moment...

’Is he really just a young man?’

’No, he must be some old monster, an old monster who’s been hiding his true strength!’

Some dignitaries had a sudden realization, sighing in understanding. No wonder he had dared to hold a blade and laughingly question the Celestial Humans and Earth Immortals in the sky!

At the same time, their hearts trembled. A director of Sakata Heavy Industries was dead, and an envoy from the Life Tower was dying... Something huge was about to happen.

Meanwhile.

Lu Xuan calmly waved his hand. Drawing on the power secretly channeled to him by Qing Ping, he levitated Kutuo off the ground.

Immediately after, he turned his head and asked the sweetly smiling girl below:

"Xiaoyan, ask Uncle Yan how the situation is outside."

Xiaoyan nodded obediently, took out her phone, and made two or three calls. Wu Datong also walked onto the high platform, his expression solemn.

He didn’t look at the Mansion Master and the Grand Governor, who were standing there pretending to be oblivious. He simply crouched down, looked at the monk clutched in the youth’s hand—limp as a broken-down old dog—and asked softly:

"The Life Tower has never before involved itself in the secular Red Dust. Kutuo, are you truly here today only for me?"

Barely breathing, Kutuo managed a difficult smile and chanted, "Namo Maitreya True Buddha," before speaking:

"Yes and no. The Tower Master personally issued a decree stating that six Super Conglomerates are too many; five would be just right... A Traveling Physician from the Life Tower has gone to every one of the East Provinces to cooperate with Sakata Heavy Industries."

He didn’t hide anything, his frankness surprising even Lu Xuan.

Wu Datong’s expression turned grim. He stood up and explained to Lu Xuan:

"The ’Traveling Physician’ is a position below the Life Tower Great Physician, equivalent to an Executioner from the Death Tower. It means ’a physician who walks the Human World.’ All of them are Earth Immortals."

Lu Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Below, amid the anxiety of the dignitaries, Chen Dao, and the others, Xiaoyan hung up the phone. She also walked onto the high platform and, holding nothing back, said bluntly:

"The situation is very bad. Twenty-three Provinces have already held press conferences one after another, showing a joint letter to various media outlets. Public opinion is in an uproar, and many unknown factions are fanning the flames from the shadows..."

Lu Xuan’s brows furrowed deeply.

"Did you tell Uncle Yan what happened here?"

"No. My dad is very busy right now; I couldn’t even get through to him. He’s probably in an emergency board meeting. I got this information from his subordinates."

The two of them weren’t speaking loudly, but everyone in the hall possessed considerable cultivation, so they naturally overheard the conversation.

The dignitaries exchanged glances, and even Kutuo, who was still being held, was stunned. They understood now. This girl... was Yan Huang’s daughter?

’A True Immortal Daughter??’

Lu Xuan pondered for a moment, then asked:

"Would it work to publicize what Sakata Heavy Industries has done?"

Yan Jiangxue nodded, then shook her head.

"Without direct video evidence, even if we expose what happened here, and even if everyone in this hall comes forward, Sakata Heavy Industries will quickly dismiss it as fake or fabricated. It won’t make much of a splash."

She was, after all, the Eldest Princess of Longque Technology. Although she never actively participated in the company’s affairs, she had absorbed a great deal through osmosis over the years. Her insight was beyond that of an ordinary person, and she quickly saw the heart of the problem.

’Direct video evidence...’

Lu Xuan frowned. After a long moment of contemplation, an idea suddenly struck him.

He actually did have a way... It might not work, but it was worth a try.

With this in mind, Lu Xuan hefted the old monk Kutuo, who was coughing up mouthfuls of blood with all four limbs broken.

Then, he said calmly:

"Xiaoyan, contact Uncle Yan. Make sure you get through to him. Once you do, have Uncle Yan give me a call."

"Okay." Although Yan Jiangxue was confused, she didn’t hesitate and decisively made the call.

While she was trying to contact Old Yan,

Lu Xuan glanced sideways and commanded the Langya Mansion Master in a tone that brooked no argument:

"Didn’t Sakata Izumi invite all the media outlets to wait outside? Go hold a press conference, tell them everything that happened here, and then bring that group of reporters to this location."

After speaking, he gave an address to the Langya Mansion Master, then turned his head and said:

"Uncle Wu, I’ll leave this guy with you for now. Don’t let him die. I have questions for him later."

Having given his instructions, Lu Xuan walked out of the banquet hall alone with brisk strides, under countless pairs of stunned and astonished gazes, heading to an unknown destination.

......

"This matter is already ninety percent certain."

At the Sakata Heavy Industries Headquarters, the chairman spoke calmly as he played a game of Go:

"After we carve up Longque Technology, what do you suggest we do next?"

Seated across from him was a little monk. He smiled faintly, placed a stone on the board, and said in a leisurely manner:

"According to our Tower Master’s wishes, the Immortals and Buddhas are about to return one by one. In the years to come—in as little as a few years, or as long as twenty—the world will experience several revivals."
