Chapter 121: The Military Invitation

“Alliance Ceremony?”
“That’s right, Master Lin. You have already become the common leader of the major underground forces across the five coastal provinces. You hold the position of alliance chief, so a formal ceremony is necessary to announce this to the world,” Fang Wenqing said respectfully.

“The alliance ceremony can wait until I return to Binhai City. Let’s leave it for now,” Lin Feng replied, turning to leave the venue with Wang Jisheng and Luo Qiankun.

Back at the villa in Tiange Town, Lin Feng packed his belongings and boarded a plane with Wang Jisheng heading back to Binhai City.

...

Meanwhile, at the Tang family mansion, a special guest had arrived, personally welcomed by Old Tang.

“Old Tang, long time no see. How have you been lately?”

The visitor was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man dressed in a military uniform, with a single general’s star insignia on his shoulder—holding the rank of Major General.

“I’m as fit as ever. Gu Feng, I never expected that after more than ten years, you’d already be a Major General in the army! I really didn’t misjudge you back then,” Old Tang said with joy, warmly pulling the man closer and exchanging pleasantries.

Tang Erye was summoned by Old Tang and personally served tea to the visitor.

Faced with this imposing middle-aged man, who exuded heroic spirit, the usually proud Tang Erye unusually adopted a humble and respectful demeanor, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

He obediently poured tea, offered refreshments, stood by the sofa, and delayed sitting down.

This visitor was a legendary figure well-known throughout Binhai City.

At eighteen, he was admitted to Dingyuan Military Academy and studied for six years.

Just after graduation, during a large-scale military exercise, he stunned everyone by joining the elite special forces unit under the military god Yun Qianshang—the Tenglong Squad’s Second Team.

He served for twenty years, defending the Chinese border against dark forces and foreign military invasions, earning numerous battle honors and striking terror into enemies.

Later, he achieved multiple championships at international special forces competitions, bringing glory to the nation. He was undoubtedly the strongest soldier king.

Now, as an instructor for the Tenglong Squad, he was a trusted commander under Yun Qianshang and the third Major General promoted by the military god himself.

The entire Binhai City took pride in him, regarding him as a legend.

“You’re always busy with military affairs, barely finding time to visit this old man during holidays. What brings you here today? Has the sun risen from the west?” Old Tang teased after taking a sip of tea.

“Ah, Old Tang, you know I barely have enough hours in a day. I wouldn’t come without a reason—I’m here to ask a favor,” Gu Feng replied.

“A favor?”

Old Tang frowned. Who in Binhai City could be of concern to the military department? If anyone, there was only one!

“Old Tang, look at this person in the video—is he not a guest disciple under the Tang family?” Gu Feng took out his phone and played a video for Old Tang.

At first, Old Tang paid little attention until he saw a sword light flash, and a majestic sword aura sliced a fighting stage more than twenty meters long cleanly in two.

The breathtaking scene was too shocking to ignore the person who unleashed the sword aura at first.

“Old Tang, do you recognize this person?” Gu Feng asked, pointing at the screen.

Old Tang’s eyes suddenly widened as he recognized the figure emitting the sword aura.

“That’s Lin Feng!”

Tang Erye’s heart trembled. My god!

Is this even human?

Was I out of my mind to have plotted against such an immortal figure just a few days ago?

“Yulin, do you know who he is? Lin Feng? Do you know where he is now?” Gu Feng pressed.

Tang Erye was at a loss for words. How could he confess that a few days ago, for the sake of the five-province martial arts tournament quota, he had deliberately set a trap for Lin Feng and even borrowed the Sun family to attack him?

Could he say such a thing?

Seeing Tang Erye embarrassed and silent, Old Tang rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, “He wouldn’t dare say anything. If it weren’t for Master Lin’s magnanimity, he might not even be alive now!”

“Master Lin? Old Tang, you really know him! Tell me, please. General Yun specifically ordered me to handle this matter well, or else—no mercy!” Gu Feng was earnest.

Just last night, he was rudely awakened by the Tenglong Squad’s internal affairs team, summoned personally by General Yun Qianshang.

Startled and anxious, he was given the mission to find the man in the video and invite him to serve as the new instructor of the Tenglong Squad.

At first, he hesitated—why seek an instructor from the countryside when the Tenglong Squad already gathered the strongest warriors in China? But after watching the video repeatedly and confirming its authenticity, his heart nearly stopped.

This man had split a fighting stage over twenty meters wide with a single sword strike—unbelievably terrifying!

Even more shocking was the military god’s evaluation:

“This person’s swordsmanship and insight surpass even mine. You must find him at all costs and bring him into the Tenglong Squad!”

Swordsmanship surpassing the military god!

Remember, General Yun Qianshang was recognized as the strongest in all of China.

For a young swordsman’s skill to exceed his was simply terrifying!

Knowing this man was from Binhai City, Gu Feng immediately took a military plane to meet Old Tang.

After all, the clues pointed to a connection with the Tang family, apparently as a martial arts devotee of the clan.

Moreover, with the Tang family’s overwhelming influence in Binhai City, their help would greatly aid in accomplishing the mission.

Old Tang put down Gu Feng’s phone, feigned contemplation, sipped his tea, and said slowly:

“I not only know who he is, but I can find him immediately and arrange for you to meet him as soon as possible.”

“That’s wonderful! Thank you so much, Old Tang!” Gu Feng was overjoyed.

“But first, you must tell me why you are looking for him. If you don’t, I absolutely won’t help.”

“Oh, Old Tang, don’t toy with me now. Just tell me what you want to know!”

“No, no. I need to know the whole story first. Otherwise, not only will I refuse to help, I might even make one call to ensure he never returns to Binhai.”

“Old Tang… You…” Gu Feng almost lost his mind—his urgency only seemed to make Old Tang more indifferent.

“Fine! You want to know, right? I’ll tell you. Under General Yun’s command, the top special forces units in all of China are the Fire Phoenix Squad, the Tenglong Squad, the Xuanwu Squad, and the White Tiger Squad.”

“In a recent mission, the Tenglong Squad suffered heavy losses, even losing their instructor. They urgently need new soldiers and an instructor, or else, under foreign interference, the unit’s designation might be erased, and it would cease to exist.”

“What!”

Old Tang almost dropped his tea cup.

In China, there could still be some mysterious force causing such devastation to the Tenglong Squad?

It was simply unfathomable!
