Chapter 12427

Otherwise, Fan Hong wouldn't have gone to such lengths, personally cleaning up the mess.

However, upon seeing the dark-skinned woman in front of him, Fan Hong's mood was not so pleasant; instead, he felt immense pressure and as if facing a formidable enemy.

The leader of the Snake Group is Du Yin.

"Team Leader Du, your presence is a rare treat."

Fan Hong forced himself to greet him.

In terms of both strength and status, he was clearly inferior to the other party, especially this woman, who was a notoriously dangerous figure in Tianjun.

Many times, they don't follow the usual rules at all.

Du Yin licked his lips: "I have no interest in being a guest. The old man, Killing Saint, is pressing me hard, and your Rooster Group keeps dragging its feet on giving me information, so I have no choice but to come here to urge him."

Fan Hong choked for a moment: "Since it's official business, why doesn't Team Leader Du go to our team leader?"

"I've looked, but it's no use."

Du Yin bluntly stated, "Your team leader is too arrogant, so I had no choice but to come to you, the deputy team leader."

During this time, she approached Shi Tiannan more than once, but Shi Tiannan was determined to play games with her, and even she had no good solutions.

She is indeed a dangerous person, and even within the Heavenly Palace, everyone avoids her like the plague. But if we're really talking about it, Shi Tiannan's level is no lower than hers.

As a last resort, she could only set her sights on Fan Hong.

Fan Hong took a deep breath and replied, "As far as I know, the search for experts with the six-zhang Dharma Aspect has been completed, and there are no targets that meet the criteria. Next, we will continue to search for experts with the seven-zhang Dharma Aspect."

Although he was essentially sidelined as the deputy leader of the Rooster Group, he still knew this inside information.

Du Yin jokingly said, "The higher-ups ordered us to investigate the Five-Zhang Dharma Form, but you've actually investigated the Seven-Zhang Dharma Form. Your Rooster Group's work strategy is really interesting."

Fan Hong frowned and explained, "A five-zhang Dharma Aspect expert wouldn't just appear out of thin air. Either a six-zhang Dharma Aspect expert has gone a step further and expanded the scope of the investigation to a seven-zhang Dharma Aspect, which is also reasonable."

"Of course, there is another possibility: this person is an outside expert who did not register beforehand. We are currently investigating this possibility as well."

"Anyway, there is still no clear result so far."

Du Yin suddenly said in a low voice, "I have always trusted the work ability of the Rooster Group. If even your Rooster Group can't find out about this person, then I can only reasonably guess that someone inside you is deliberately covering it up for him."

Fan Hong was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Du Yin's snake-like eyes flashed: "Although Tianjun is not a small place, it is not so easy for an outsider to hide without a heavyweight figure."

"You are the deputy leader of the Rooster Group. If you want to hide someone, you have an exceptionally good opportunity."

"Especially now that you've set up this 'Termination Meeting,' can't I suspect that it's just a cover for that person?"

Fan Hong: "..."

He truly never expected that this guy would turn his anger on him.

However, upon closer examination, from a third-party perspective, such suspicion is not entirely without reason.

On the contrary, it is quite reasonable.

Du Yin appeared quietly behind Fan Hong, placing his hands on Fan Hong's shoulders: "Either give me information about that person, or I'll personally investigate the Termination Society and clear your name."

"you dare!"

Fan Hong's aura suddenly erupted, actually forcing him back.

Du Yin's eyes flashed: "Oh, you're getting angry already?"

Fan Hong stared coldly at her and said, "I don't need to remind you whose business the Termination Association is. If Team Leader Du insists on getting involved, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Their momentum surged to its peak, as if they were about to start a fight at the slightest provocation.

"Deputy Team Leader Fan has quite a temper."

Du Yin giggled and covered her mouth, but her appearance and demeanor did not exude any feminine charm; instead, they sent chills down one's spine.

However, Du Yin ultimately did not go any further.

With her formidable strength, among all the twelve groups of the Heavenly Palace, there are indeed very few people who can directly confront her.

But Fan Hong is no simple character either.

His predicament in the Rooster group was because he had run into Shi Tiannan. In any other group, he would have been able to secure a place.

If a fight were to break out today, Du Yin would certainly have a greater chance of winning, but he would inevitably have to pay a price.

The key issue is that if we offend Liu Ao, things will get complicated.

As the leader of the Snake Group, she doesn't even have the qualifications to swindle the Heavenly County Governor.

Fan Hong said coldly, "Tearing off relations is bad for everyone."

Du Yin shrugged and laughed, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to fight. I'm just here to remind Deputy Team Leader Fan to investigate these people in the Termination Committee, so that we don't have blind spots."

"I now strongly suspect that the five-zhang-tall Dharma Image has some kind of connection with your Termination Society."

"If Deputy Team Leader Fan has any news, please let me know."

"The favor of killing a saint is very rare."

After saying that, he drifted away.

Fan Hong stood there stunned for a long time, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the other party had left the Termination Society headquarters, though he was drenched in cold sweat.

Fortunately, the other party knew better than to back down. If a full-blown fight had broken out, not only would he not have been able to escape unscathed today, but he would also have had a difficult time getting past Liu Aozhi behind his back.

Liu Aozhi offered him many benefits, including having him oversee the venue.

If he can't even do this simple thing right, what right does he have to go any further?
"Is the Five-Zhang Dharma Image truly in our final assembly?"

Fan Hong realized what was going on and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Du Yin is an unconventional person, but she is not entirely illogical. Since she said so, there must be some basis for her statement.

Fan Hong immediately summoned Yang Qing'er and began arranging a self-investigation.

All of this naturally did not escape the eyes of the rest of the Termination Council.

Without prior arrangement, everyone chose to stand by and do nothing.

As for the final results of the investigation, nothing came of it, since Lin Yi was indeed not among them.

However, everyone soon discovered that the so-called self-inspection was just a pretext, and Fan Hong's real purpose was simply to consolidate his power.

The Termination Society is now rife with factions, and it is becoming increasingly powerful and difficult to control.

Many people are nominally members of the Termination Society, but in reality, they are just private armies of certain individuals, and they disregard the rules of the Termination Society.

This is clearly not the situation Fan Hong wanted to see.

In his eyes, the entire Termination Association was not only his cash cow, but also a crucial stepping stone for advancement. How could he tolerate others becoming too powerful?
It has to be said that for someone of Fan Hong's caliber to deal with the Termination Society is a complete game of cat and mouse.

Even a top-tier second-generation heir like Li Tianguo appears naive in comparison.

In just five days, the atmosphere of the entire Termination Committee was completely transformed. Regardless of what happened in private, at least on the surface, it certainly resembled an organization.

At this rate, Fan Hong will be able to truly bring the End Society under his control in at most another half month.

As long as he's around, no one can cause any trouble.

Lin Yi saw all of this.
