Luojia Mountain.

Bamboo Sea. Shen's Mansion.

Shen Wuxiang looked at Sun Shehu and Shen Que standing before him and asked in a deep voice, "Is that how Sheng Jing replied?"

"Yes." Sun Shehu nodded and said, "He said he knew nothing about it, nor did he know the true identity of Tang Fei."

"He also said that if we find Tang Fei, we must let him know. He wishes he could grind him to dust."

Shen Wuxiang's expression was dark as he asked in a low voice, "Do you believe him?"

Although they had no evidence to prove that Chen Zhuo was Tang Fei and Hua He was Lu Siyu, as soon as the identities of Tang Fei and Lu Siyu were exposed, those two rock singers disappeared without a trace.

Moreover, that Miss Sheng of the Sheng Family got involved with Chen Zhuo, which Guo Nu from the Security Bureau saw with his own eyes...

Guo Nu, that dog lackey, are his eyes just full of crap?

How can he not recognize Tang Fei standing right under his nose?

It seems his time as Director of the Security Bureau is coming to an end.

Sheng Kuang wounded many special agents of the Security Bureau to avenge Miss Sheng of the Sheng family...

Saying that the Sheng Family is unaware of Tang Fei's true identity and did not participate in hiding and aiding his escape is hard to believe.

"Whether I believe it or not isn't important, the main thing is whether Lord Military Minister believes it."

Sun Shehu slightly bowed, in a manner of going along to get along.

He also knew that it's just Sheng Jing's side of the story.

Some things don't need evidence; just a little thought is enough to know the truth.

Knowing is one thing, handling it is another.

Shen Wuxiang fell silent.

Sheng Jing is not only the Family Head of the Shen Family but also holds the Empire's purse strings.

From the time of Zhong Daolong until now, he has held the Empire's financial power for decades.

Such a person is not easy to deal with.

Pull one hair and the whole body moves.

Now, the Shen Family can't withstand too much upheaval either.

They still need time to stabilize the overall situation and integrate various forces.

The remnants of the Tang Family are causing trouble everywhere, while the Qin and Lu families are watching like tigers eyeing prey; the Zhong Family survives by relying on the Yu Family, and they are not completely finished yet...

And now to make enemies with the Sheng Family.

No matter how big the Shen Family is, can they really go against the whole world?

However, knowing that the Sheng Family harbors ill intentions and yet doing nothing... will it make other interested parties eager to act?

Without punishment, how can one exert authority over subordinates?

Shen Wuxiang must make a decision.

Either keep steady, or move with the force of a mountain collapsing.

Best not to give the Sheng Family any chance to breathe.

At this moment, the confidential secretary rushed in and hurriedly said, "Military Minister, the empire's stock market is experiencing severe turbulence... three major private equity institutions are dumping the Imperial Bank's stock en masse."

Shen Wuxiang's eyes were sharp as knives, and he spoke harshly, "We haven't even made a move on them yet they're the first to show force."

"Energy block? What energy block?" Tang Fei asked with a confused look.

"It's the Star Disc's energy block," Han Chuan said anxiously, "Without it, we can't start the Star Disc and can't go home."

"Is it used up?"

"..."

Han Chuan looked at Tang Fei with an expressionless face.

Do you take me for an idiot?

It's not gasoline...

There's no trace left when it's used up.

Though the energy in the energy block is exhausted, the energy block itself is still there.

It can be recharged again.

"I didn't see it." Tang Fei spread his hands out, looking sincere, and turned to Lu Siyu, asking, "Did you see it?"

"No." Lu Siyu said expressionlessly.

This is just acting...

I can't act, but I can lie.

"You two go back and look again." Tang Fei said to Han Chuan and Wang Xiaohu, "The Star Disc is so big, it might have fallen somewhere else."

Energy blocks are locked inside the Energy Box, protected externally by multiple locking mechanisms.

Where could they have gone?

Han Chuan was very angry, but dared not lose his temper.

After all, in this unfamiliar place, they feared Tang Fei might do away with them.

After a long journey of recuperation and taking the red pills gifted by his good brother, the Evil God, Tang Fei's body had almost fully recovered.

Now he had regained the strength of a small Grandmaster.

Killing them would be as easy as cutting vegetables.

"Mr. Tang... we have kept our promise by safely delivering you to your destination. We ask you to uphold your end of the bargain and let us return." Han Chuan pleaded obsequiously.

"You can return anytime." Tang Fei waved his hand, saying, "I'm not restricting your freedom. Am I?"

"But the energy block..."

"I haven't seen the energy block." Tang Fei spread his arms, saying, "If you don't believe me, you can search."

Han Chuan wanted to search, but Wang Xiaohu stopped him.

The two exchanged glances, Wang Xiaohu shook his head.

If they found nothing, it would be alright, but if they did.....

If he obviously doesn't want to give it to you and then gets angry and decides to silence you, what would happen then?

Wang Xiaohu looked at Tang Fei and said, "Mr. Tang, are you planning to do something here?"

"Not really. We're just looking around."

"..."

Wang Xiaohu's heart sank.

You're fooling the devil, right?

No reason to be here at Dushan for nothing?

Dushan, also known as Ghost Mountain, is full of wandering souls and spirits.

If those Barbarians find you...

They'll roast you over a fire and eat you.

"What I'm saying is, if it's convenient, we're willing to wait here with you to return together. What do you think, Mr. Tang?"

"No need, no need..." Tang Fei waved his hand, saying, "We're not sure when we can go back. How could we make you wait here?"

"It's no trouble at all, we're not in that much of a hurry. An extra day or two doesn't matter."

"Are you sure? Won't it be too much trouble?"

"No trouble, no trouble, we've been together for so long, there's some bond between us."

"Alright." Tang Fei nodded and said, "Then you use the Star Disc as a base and wait here. We'll leave together once we're done."

"No problem." Wang Xiaohu readily agreed.

Tang Fei patted his shoulder, saying, "I knew it, those with 'tiger' in their name are all true heroes."

"You're too kind, Mr. Tang. And the 'Fei' in your name... also has character."

"Hahaha..."

The two laughed heartily.

"..."

Lu Siyu rolled his eyes, with a 'pop,' he blew a large bubble.

Tang Fei waved at his newfound friends, turned and walked with Lu Siyu toward the vast dark mountain ahead.

Across the red desert, lay the endless black mountain range.

This was the infamous Dushan.

Also known as Ghost Mountain.

With Ghost Mountain as the boundary, this side belonged to the Phoenix Empire, while the other side was the territory of the undead Barbarians.

For decades, the Barbarians had coveted the territory of the Phoenix Empire.

Continuous harassment and attacks left the Imperial Soldiers stationed at Dushan in agony and with heavy losses.

Within the Imperial Army, those who made mistakes or lost political fights were sent to guard Ghost Mountain.

This was tantamount to 'being sent to die.'

It was noon, and the scorching sun, with no greenery or cover on the desert, nearly dried people like meat jerkies.

Tang Fei and Lu Siyu walked for half an hour, getting closer to Ghost Mountain.

Just then, a long row of desert tanks rumbled toward them.

Red sand rolled, blotting out the sky.

Dozens of desert tanks surrounded Tang Fei and Lu Siyu, with dozens of gun barrels aimed at them.

Bang!

The top cover of the leading desert tank was pushed open, and a young man, wearing a black officer's uniform, lightly jumped down onto the tank's top.

He looked over sharply, his waistband's longsword buzzing with sound.

Killing intent was palpable.

Tang Fei, however, seemed as though he'd met a long-lost friend, waving and cheerfully shouting, "Brother Qingping, long time no see."
