After hearing this, Qin Lao couldn't help but nod slightly, the young man in front of him was definitely not to be underestimated.

To be honest, until now, he doubted whether Shi Xiao himself came out of the small secret realm. Otherwise, how could a boy who was less than 20 years old become a foundation building monk?

However, the Martial Arts Association relied on its own investigation to find that Shi Xiao did not have any abnormalities.

Although this cleared the suspicion, it also covered Shi Xiao with a veil, but since Shi Xiao was able to investigate the matter of the small secret realm after he came out. This still made Qin Lao very happy.

"In that case, what difficulties do you have to ask us? We can do our best to satisfy you. Qin Lao said indifferently.

"Okay, I'll contact you if I need to." Shi Xiao nodded and agreed.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Old Qin, Mr. Shi. The meeting is about to start, should we rush over first? Wu Tiankuo's voice came from outside the door.

"Alright, Mr. Shi. Looks like we're going to have to go to the meeting first. Qin Lao said indifferently.

Then the two got up and left here, while Wu Tianli and Xiaoyu found a business van.

The four people entered the business car, and then a driver drove towards the capital with the four people.

After more than an hour, the business vehicle entered a community.

At this time, Xiaoyu handed Shi Xiao a mask.

"What's this?" Shi Xiao wondered.

Qin Lao smiled slightly: "Shi Xiao, this is for the sake of protecting the safety of your participants in the meeting. And this mission is very special, which can be regarded as a layer of insurance. ”

After hearing this, Shi Xiao took this mask and put it on his face, which was a bull's head mask. Shi Xiao had an inexplicable sense of joy after putting it on.

The van continued towards the interior of the complex and then stopped in a parking lot.

After the four got out of the car, they were led by Wu Tianli to the interior of the community, and then stopped at the entrance of a building.

"Salt Lake Community Residents' Committee??" Shi Xiao looked puzzled.

"Hahaha, don't be surprised, Mr. Shi. It's often the kind of place that is the least likely to attract people's attention, and it's also convenient to do, isn't it? Wu Tianli on the side quipped.

"You're quite interesting." Shi Xiao couldn't help but smile.

Several people entered the small courtyard as they spoke, and then passed through several courtyard walls and then came to the innermost.

In front of the house in the inner courtyard stood several big men in black suits, and several people stretched out their hands to stop the four of them. Wu Tiankuo took out a document from it and handed it to one of them.

"Okay, you four, please come in." The man in black opened the door and let Shi Xiao and the four of them enter the hut.

After Shi Xiao entered, he found that there was a cave inside, and everyone entered the deepest part of the hut and came to a wall. There are also a few big men guarding here.

After Wu Tiankuo revealed his ID, a man in black entered the password on the wall. The walls then flip upside down to reveal the chamber inside.

"You guys are very cautious and set up cards layer by layer." Shi Xiao said indifferently.

"It's better to be cautious, and that's one of our many strongholds. The space inside is more expansive, probably the size of an office building. Elder Qin explained on the side.

When he was chatting with Qin Lao, he had already entered the secret room.

As Qin Lao said, the space inside is even more expansive. There are also many secret rooms, each of which is guarded by two big men.

A few people led by Wu Tianqi went to the innermost part and entered a conference room.

At this time, there were already many people in the secret room. Some are ordinary people like Xiaoyu, some are martial artists, and some are people with masks like Shi Xiao.

Several people found a position at the front and sat down, while Qin Lao got up and walked outside.

Shi Xiao sat on a chair and quietly checked several people wearing masks, all of them wearing animal masks, and their genders were dressed differently.

There was even a person wearing a pig's head mask wearing a Taoist robe, which looked very similar to the people of the Daoxu Palace.

More than half an hour passed, and the room was almost full. Shi Xiao found that these people wearing masks were wearing the masks of the zodiac, and there were twelve people in total.

At this time, Qin Lao indifferently walked to a podium in front of him.

"Ahem, everyone, be quiet. This time we called everyone because something big had happened. ”

Qin Lao's voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone in the secret room, and the originally somewhat noisy secret room instantly quieted down.

Qin Feng nodded to the staff next to him, and someone next to him turned on the projection screen in front of everyone.

The lights in the chamber were also extinguished, and for a moment only the light came from the projection screen. And the crowd was also attracted by the objects that appeared on the screen.

Shi Xiao couldn't help but look at the screen in front of him, which was a sinuous wooden branch with a yellowed body. It's just that there should be some ideas in terms of texture and color, and some waxy outer layers have appeared on the wood.

"This, what is this?" Shi Xiao secretly wondered in his heart.

"This thing has been kept safe at the headquarters of our Martial Arts Association, but a traitor has stolen it from within us."

"After investigation, we should be the Ten Peerless Sects behind the ghosts, and we should have also united with the Hundred Flowers Palace or other super sect forces. After the traitor stole it, he fled to the northeastern suburbs of the capital with the masters of the Ten Peerless Gates and the Hundred Flowers Palace. ”

"This item is extremely important to our Martial Arts Association and even to the capital, so your mission this time is to bring it back and capture this traitor alive by the way." Qin Lao explained.

Then the screen began to switch to a photo of a woman, who looked ordinary from the face and was about 30 years old.

"Old Qin, you let us come and make this mystery just for a piece of wood." The man in the serpentine mask said with some displeasure.

Although the other people with masks on their faces did not speak, they all looked at Qin Lao. In their opinion, this task is a bit ridiculous, and the mobilization of teachers for this piece of wood is a little speechless.

Even if you cherish the wood and go there, those who can come here are strong.

Qin Lao smiled slightly after hearing this, and then said indifferently: "Calling you here is naturally to believe you, and there is nothing to hide from the origin of this wood." ”

"This piece of wood is not ordinary, it carries the luck of the capital. I don't need to say more about how important this thing is. ”

As soon as Qin Lao's words came out, everyone couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Although this thing of luck is mysterious and mysterious, it has to be believed, and Shi Xiao was also shocked when he heard it. Luck is related to the way of heaven, if you are favored by the way of heaven, luck is naturally very strong, if you have been plagued by disasters recently, it will definitely be bad luck.

Although luck cannot completely determine whether a person becomes a strong person or not, those peerless Tianjiao and others have a strong origin.

This piece of wood carries the luck of the capital, and if it is lost, it will inevitably have a subtle bad impact on the capital.

Moreover, the capital is the capital of China, and its luck will definitely affect the luck of the entire China. No wonder this meeting was so cautious and important, it turned out to be this thing.

"Well, now that you know about it. It's time to decide whether you want to quit or not, and we're not forcing you. ”

"After all, the other party came prepared, and he must have dispatched a master. It is also the Ten Peerless Sect and the Hundred Flowers Palace, two very difficult sects. If you want to quit, you can leave now. Qin Lao said indifferently.

But after Qin Lao finished speaking, no one got up and left. It seems that when he heard that he was looking for luck in the capital, no one chose to leave.

Shi Xiao thought about it and didn't choose to leave, as a citizen of Huaxia, he naturally would not flinch in the face of this kind of family and country affairs. Moreover, the opponents are still the Ten Peerless Gates and the Hundred Flowers Palace, and Shi Xiao has to participate in this operation.

After more than ten minutes, no one chose to leave. Qin Lao couldn't help but nod slightly, and a hint of relief couldn't help but flash in his eyes.

"In that case, on behalf of the association and the country, I would like to thank all of you."

After speaking, Qin Lao bowed from the crowd, then got up and continued to say to them: "Although they stole the wood, they definitely did not leave the parish of the capital. ”

"As soon as the wood was stolen, we activated the emergency plan. A large number of police and troops were dispatched, and finally they were forced into the parish in the northeast of the capital. ”

"But for the safety of the residents, we didn't choose to attack, but trapped them in an area."

Shi Xiao couldn't help but nod slightly after hearing this, it seems that they are doing things in a measured manner. If these people are forced to hurry, let them take the residents hostage, I don't know how many people will die.

Qin Lao was also telling everyone that in order to avoid snatching the wood, he would avoid the sacrifice of the police and soldiers by the way. Therefore, he chose to send these top powerhouses to attack and cooperate with other warriors to jointly encircle and suppress the other party.

"Then you can leave for the suburbs, where there will be a separate person in charge of this. But the first and foremost task of this mission was to retrieve the wood that carried the luck. Qin Lao said indifferently.

"In that case, let's rush there to see the situation first. Now it's a race against time. After the warrior in the mouse mask finished speaking, he got up and walked outside.

"Okay, since I've decided to participate, let's go over as well." Shi Xiao said to the light rain on the side.

Xiaoyu and Wu Tiankuo led Shi Xiao outside, and the three of them sat in the business car and drove towards the suburbs non-stop.

"Wu Tiankuo, is there a strong person on the other side this time?" Shi Xiao asked.

"Yes, there is a strong man in the Golden Light Realm on the bright side, as well as nearly ten martial arts masters and twenty or thirty martial artists in the half-step Transformation Realm and the perfection of internal strength." Wu Tianqi said with a wry smile.

Shi Xiao couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, no wonder the Martial Arts Association was so cautious. These people are already comparable to the highest level of combat power in Jiangzhou City, and there are people from Baihua Palace.

The Gu poison of the Hundred Flowers Palace, coupled with the assassination and trap of the Ten Peerless Sects, these are enough to give the masters of the Martial Arts Association a headache.

"Hmph, they're willing to spend such a price to steal the things of luck. It is really looking for death to dare to do it in the capital. Shi Xiao said coldly.

"It's okay to say if it's one of the ten peerless sects, but I don't know why the Hundred Flowers Palace is still involved. If you have Gu poison in your body, you will basically lose your combat effectiveness. Wu Tianqi smiled bitterly.
