Yanhai City!
On the streets.
Citizens watched the scene before them in shock.
Holy crap!
A flock of chickens appeared, seemingly organized, marching in unison with vigorous strides down the city streets. Surrounding vehicles stopped.
Drivers stared blankly.
Some took out their phones and frantically snapped pictures.
Posting to their social media feeds.
They already had their captions in mind.
Shocking! What the heck kind of chickens are these?!
"Hen, you can rest assured now. You and your family won't be separated." Lin Fan smiled.
He had noticed the hen's worry. It was understandable. Her family was here, and they might be in danger, but there was nowhere else to settle them. What could be done?
Therefore, Lin Fan told the evil rooster, "Come with me. I will take care of your family."
Hearing these words, the evil rooster trembled.
An unimaginable thought surged in his heart.
He's been discovered.
He said those words to test me. If I wasn't willing to let my kin go with him, he would definitely think, "I knew it, you're a spy! Just a little probing and you're already restless."
Thinking of this, the evil rooster could only agree.
His undercover plan couldn't be exposed.
At this moment...
"Cluck!"
"Cluck!"
The evil chickens chatted amongst themselves. Having always lived in impoverished areas, they had never seen such a scene. It was too high-end.
Translation of the chicken chatter:
"Wow, such big houses!"
"I never thought the human world would be so nice. I love it!"
"Me too!"
"Where are we going now?"
"I don't know. Just follow Chicken God."
After the previous incident, the evil rooster's prestige within the clan had reached its peak. In the eyes of his kin, he was a hero, a savior.
The appearance of a flock of evil chickens caused many members within the city to sense their astonishing aura.
It had been a long time since any evil dared to appear in the city.
Who had come?
From all directions, members converged towards the evil aura, their intention simple: eliminate the evil and maintain the city's safety.
However...
When they arrived at the scene and saw the leader, they patted their butts and dispersed.
Dispersed.
What was there to worry about?
If Lin Fan was leading them, there couldn't be any trouble. However, they were curious about where he had found so many evil creatures, and all of the same species. They couldn't understand it.
Special Department.
One-Eyed Man held a book and read carefully. It was the one he had gotten from Hao Ren. It was indeed well-written, showing some scholarship.
The sound of page-turning echoed loudly in the room.
Knock, knock!
Jin He Li, wearing high heels, swayed her sexy figure as she walked in. "We just received news. Lin Fan brought a batch of chickens back from the outskirts. They'll be arriving at the department soon."
One-Eyed Man put down the book and laughed. "Haha, I didn't expect him to know to bring good things home. Hmm, good. Instruct everyone that the department will be distributing benefits today. One chicken per person, to take home and stew into chicken soup to nourish their bodies."
Jin He Li said, "They are all evil chickens."
"Huh?" One-Eyed Man froze, not quite understanding.
Evil chickens?
Downstairs.
One-Eyed Man blinked, a little dazed.
Not only was he dazed, but everyone in the Special Department was stunned. The security guards at the entrance stared blankly, pinching their thighs. It hurt, so this wasn't a dream but reality. If the surrounding environment wasn't the Special Department, they would have suspected they had arrived at an evil creature's lair.
"This is..." One-Eyed Man didn't waste words, but asked in confusion. He had learned something from the book written by Hao Ren: in any situation, stay calm.
Don't panic, wait patiently.
Lin Fan said, "These are Hen's companions. Their homeland was subjected to unfriendly destruction. It's dangerous for them to stay there, so I wanted to bring them here to live. Is there a place to accommodate them?"
If anyone else had said such words, he would have simply told them to take them back where they came from. If they refused, he would send them away himself.
But now it was Lin Fan speaking.
Could he casually refuse?
The evil chickens looked around curiously, fascinated by everything. As evil creatures, they naturally knew about the human world, but due to their weak strength, they were considered unworldly evil creatures. Only the evil rooster, young and adventurous, had seen the world.
One-Eyed Man whispered, "Is there any suitable place to arrange them?"
He definitely couldn't let the evil chickens stay in the Special Department.
After all, evil creatures were evil creatures. One or two didn't matter, but if there were too many, how could this still be the Special Department? It would be more like an evil chicken headquarters.
Jin He Li said, "There's an abandoned ranch in the suburbs. We can arrange for these evil chickens to stay there."
"Yes, arrange them there," One-Eyed Man said.
Lin Fan felt that One-Eyed Man might have difficulties, as so many chickens would be difficult to care for. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Actually, they are very good. Like Hen, they can all lay eggs, and the eggs are quite delicious. They definitely won't be freeloading."
He wanted to tell One-Eyed Man about the evil chickens' abilities, that they weren't idle good-for-nothings.
Hearing these words, the evil rooster's eyes widened.
Devil!
This is definitely a devil!
But he knew this was something he couldn't refuse. He had to tell his kin that they were safe in this strange place, but only on the condition that they laid eggs.
One-Eyed Man said, "No problem, it's already arranged. As long as it's something you've requested, I'll definitely make good arrangements."
He pondered.
Where did Lin Fan find these evil creatures? Could it be that the evil rooster led Lin Fan there?
Damn!
What a cunning evil chicken! It seems he wants his entire race to cling to Lin Fan's thigh. Ambitious, interesting. He then looked at his colleagues and sighed. They were truly useless. Why couldn't they learn from the evil creatures? When encountering a powerful figure, finding a way to cling to them wouldn't cause any problems.
Alliance High Court.
Li Guofeng had already arranged for people to collect the Soul Emperor's blood. The blood of such a powerful being was definitely precious. Using scientific methods to study the blood, they could search for the reason behind the Starry Sky Clan's immense strength.
Even if they couldn't immediately obtain the Starry Sky Clan's cultivation method, they still had to figure out what secrets their bodies held.
Bei Tao was in Li Guofeng's office, playing with the expensive, historical toys. Seeing Li Guofeng lost in thought, he couldn't help but laugh.
"President Li, collecting the Starry Sky Clan's blood is really unnecessary. This blood doesn't represent anything. They rely on cultivation to improve their strength."
"If they don't cultivate and their strength doesn't reach a certain level, they will still die."
To Bei Tao, he felt that Li Guofeng was narrow-minded, like a frog in a well.
If it weren't for his money, he would be worthless.
Li Guofeng didn't know Bei Tao's thoughts. If he did, he would definitely teach him a lesson. How could he speak to the big boss like that? It was simply ungrateful.
"Trying won't hurt."
Bei Tao took two walnuts from the display cabinet, squeezed them with his fingers, and with a crack, the expensive walnuts shattered. He put them in his mouth and took a bite.
He spat out the walnut meat.
"So disgusting."
Li Guofeng said, "Those aren't for eating, they're for playing with."
"Walnuts can be eaten and played with, aren't they the same? You're so stingy." Bei Tao glanced at him. See, he said he was narrow-minded. Making a fuss over some walnuts, truly disappointing.
Li Guofeng suppressed his anger and then asked, "What's the situation with that Soul Clan expert?"
"Nothing. After lying down for a while, he left directly," Bei Tao said.
He understood now.
Don't provoke Lin Fan.
It was fine to provoke anyone else, just don't provoke him. His strength was too formidable. Starry Sky Clan experts were like toys in his hands.
Fortunately, he discovered that Lin Fan was different from those powerful bullies. As long as you didn't provoke him, he wouldn't provoke you.
Just then, Bei Tao's phone rang.
"Hello!"
"What did you say?"
Bei Tao's expression instantly changed, becoming gloomy, as if a fire of anger was burning in his heart.
Li Guofeng asked, "What's wrong?"
"The department's research results were stolen," Bei Tao said, surprised that such a thing could happen.
Hearing this, Li Guofeng was also shocked. "Who stole them?"
"He Mu."
"Who is He Mu?"
"A member of the Shadow Society."
"Impossible! How did he know where the headquarters is?"
The Shadow Society kept its headquarters location highly confidential, even its members didn't know. How did the other party know where the headquarters was? It seemed impossible.
Bei Tao didn't say much, turning to leave.
They had obtained the golden bowl from Changbai Mountain, which contained profound secrets. After various studies, they had indeed discovered the secrets within, but they never expected He Mu to steal it and even kill several research members. This was intolerable to Bei Tao. In today's society, what was most important? Talent, of course.
You damn thief, stealing is one thing, but why kill our talented personnel?
Do you know how much effort it takes to cultivate a talent?
Damn it.
September 28th!
The weather was fine, neither too cold nor too hot, a beautiful day.
After arranging the evil chicken clan yesterday, the evil rooster specifically went to have a good chat with his kin, teaching them how to lay eggs. This was an important matter, not to be forgotten or taken lightly.
Of course, he had already thought of all the countermeasures.
He couldn't say he was forced to lay eggs, could he? As a hero of the clan, he couldn't have any blemishes. Fortunately, he held a high position within the clan, and everyone listened to his arrangements without any objections.
"Hen, do you need to go see your family?" Lin Fan asked.
Hearing this, the evil rooster quickly shook his head. Why would he go see them?
The more he showed his face, the more likely problems would arise.
What if... they found out about his status and situation here? Wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?
Therefore, he decisively refused.
