Chapter 535 How to take revenge is up to you!

Following the attack on Beijing, all major security agencies responded immediately, and rescue and recovery efforts were quickly launched.

Meanwhile, guardians like Yang Qing also received notification of the meeting. When Yang Qing arrived at the meeting venue, he happened to run into Yang Qingtian at the entrance.

"Father, what is the topic of this meeting?"

Yang Qing looked towards the conference door, where no fewer than a hundred people were already seated. They were all familiar faces, with the weakest being at least ninth-rank, and most of them being kings.

"coming."

Yang Qingtian didn't stop walking towards the conference room, saying as he went, "I don't know the specifics, but it should be related to this attack."

In Yang Qing's view, this answer was obviously nonsense.

The fact that they're suddenly having a meeting at this time is definitely related to the attack; there's no need to notify them to attend a meeting if it's just about handling the aftermath.

Yang Qing didn't ask any further questions and followed her father into the meeting room.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Yang father and son, many people stood up to greet them.

With Yang Qing obtaining a nine-star key and becoming a dual-king level expert, the status of the Yang family, one of the ten major families in the capital, has risen to a new level.

After exchanging a few polite words, Yang Qing was about to find a seat when he spotted Zhan Xing.

As a guardian of the capital, it was normal for Zhan Xing to receive a notification of the meeting.

After some time apart, Zhan Xing had lost his former high spirits and looked somewhat dejected and lonely.

The others were gathered in twos and threes, chatting amongst themselves, while the seat next to him was empty.

The ten major families of the capital have now become nine, and the Zhan family no longer exists. To avoid displeasing Hong Tao, everyone is drawing a clear line between themselves and the powerful.

Yang Qing walked towards Zhan Xing and sat down next to him amidst some surprised glances.

"Long time no see," Yang Qing said.

Zhan Xing looked at Yang Qing, somewhat surprised and touched. He whispered, "You don't need to sit next to me. I appreciate the gesture, but it won't do you any good."

The Yang family is indeed powerful. Yang Qingtian is already at the peak of the Martial King realm, just one step away from the Martial Emperor realm, and could break through at any time.

Yang Qing obtained a nine-star key, and as a dual-king level expert, his strength was not much weaker than his father's, and he also had the potential to become an emperor in the future.

However, at this stage, the Yang family does not have an emperor, so offending Hong Tao will only bring harm, not benefit.

Especially now that the situation is so tense, we need to be even more careful.

Yang Qing also noticed that his father was looking at him with a slight frown, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear.

"No, an emperor wouldn't be that petty."

Yang Qing said calmly.

Whether as a friend or as a relative of his wife's family, he could not ignore Zhan Xing.

"There's no need. Regardless of my family background, I am the guardian of the capital."

Zhan Xing continued to persuade him, not wanting to implicate Yang Qing.

Under his father's increasingly stern gaze, Yang Qing hesitated for a moment before slowly standing up and asking, "How have you been lately?"

Zhan Xing seemed not to hear, closing his eyes to rest.

Yang Qing remained silent for a while before leaving and finding a random spot to sit down nearby.

When the three emperors, including Hong Tao, appeared, the meeting began.

"Everyone knows about the attack on the capital. For details, please watch the video sent by the guardian artifact."

The meeting was chaired by a middle-aged man, Chen Longtao, one of the guardians of the capital.

A screen of light appeared in everyone's sight.

In my line of sight, a man dressed in business attire, wearing glasses, and exuding a refined air, strode quickly through the street.

The man's attire looked no different from that of an ordinary office worker.

Suddenly, the man stopped, his body stiffened, his expression contorted, and he let out a painful howl.

"what!"

Amidst agonizing screams, the man's abdomen contracted and swelled as if something was about to burst out of his body. A few seconds later, accompanied by flying blood and flesh, the screams abruptly ceased, and the man was reduced to pieces.

Amid the gasps of the onlookers, a dark ball of light appeared and floated in mid-air.

The ball of light was only the size of a fist, but it expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming an irregular circular space gate with a diameter of over fifty meters in just over twenty seconds.

As the portal expanded, a large number of demonic beasts emerged. In just one minute, thousands of demonic beasts passed through the portal, rampaging through the streets, devouring passersby, and wreaking havoc.

From the formation of the spatial gate to the appearance of the demonic beast army, only a little over a minute passed—an unbelievable speed. So fast that even the guardian artifacts couldn't react immediately.

"Who is this person?"

"Who it is doesn't matter. I just want to know how the portal appeared inside his body, and how it expanded so quickly?"

"That's really too fast!"

Discussions and uproars rose and fell.

Although those present participated in the hunt and rescue, this was the first time they had seen this video.

Both the way the spatial portal appeared and the speed at which the demonic beast army emerged were awe-inspiring.

"The man in the video is named Zhou Xinting. He is from Beijing, an orphan, divorced, and has a six-year-old daughter. He has no criminal record. His apparent identity is a marketing manager at a company, but there is a high probability that he is a member of New World."

"His strength is unknown, and why the spatial gate can appear from his body is also unknown."

"The only thing that can be confirmed is that the aliens used two nine-star level spatial keys in this attack on Shangjing. One of them was originally placed inside Zhou Xinting's body, which was the first black light orb to appear. Judging from his expression, Zhou Xinting was unaware of this. He was just a tool for the aliens to carry out the terrorist attack."

"The value of the key is self-evident, so this kind of terrorist attack is unlikely to happen again. The main purpose of the aliens is to retaliate against King Cheng's plan to use the Land of Fallen Gods as a gathering place, while causing chaos and panic, and destabilizing social order."

Chen Longtao quickly analyzed.

Upon hearing that similar terrorist attacks require two nine-star level keys and that such attacks are unlikely to occur again, the people present breathed a sigh of relief.

If such attacks were to occur every ten days or two weeks, it would truly drive people to despair.

That would be more than just social unrest.

"The extraordinary man has achieved his goal. Now, the internet is filled with a lot of negative posts, the people are panicked, order is disrupted, and all walks of life have been affected. The current plan to become king can no longer divert people's attention."

"In fact, netizens have lost trust in the country and the World Alliance, and have begun to question and even ridicule them. In their words, they failed to fight back and were instead taught a lesson by the Extraordinary Ones."

"We must find ways to help people overcome their fear, shift their focus, get them back to normal work and life, and restore social order. If this turmoil continues, the consequences will be severe."

"Today's meeting is about how we should respond to this terrorist attack, how to restore social order and stability, and how to help people overcome fear and shift their focus. Everyone is speaking freely."

After speaking, Chen Longtao turned off the light screen, giving everyone time to think.

For a moment, no one could think of a solution, and the atmosphere became very silent.

Three minutes later, an old man stood up and asked, "What was the World Alliance's reaction?"

Chen Longtao looked at the old man who asked the question and replied, "This was an attack that occurred in Beijing. Our response is enough; we don't need a response from the World Alliance!"

"Then let's retaliate! We'll pay back double for every one of our casualties!"

Someone suggested with a murderous look on their face.

If the supernatural beings can carry out suicide bombings in the capital, so can they.

And the cost is much lower.

However, this suggestion was quickly rejected.

This revenge is pointless.

"The five major powers of the superhumans are indifferent to the deaths and injuries of ordinary superhumans, and if this retaliation continues, it will not be of any benefit to the stability of people's hearts or the restoration of order."

"Furthermore, in the interdimensional portal, the Inhumans have the advantage in strength. Even if they retaliate, they will only suffer heavy losses themselves and injure the enemy by a factor of 80."

Chen Longtao said calmly.

"Since the attack by the superhumans came at a great cost and there won't be a second one, let's pretend it never happened and inform the public through the media. That should alleviate people's fear."

Unable to think of a way to retaliate, and worried that retaliation would cause a chain reaction, some people suggested this.

Chen Longtao shook his head:
“If we don’t fight back, the superhumans will only become more and more arrogant. That’s one aspect. More importantly, people’s hatred and anger cannot be vented, and that’s not a solution either.”

Silence fell again.

Retaliation is not an option, but not retaliating is also not an option!
What to do?
Just when everyone was at a loss and feeling helpless, a post was published on the martial arts forum.

The post had just been published when tens of millions of netizens received notifications in the background.

The moment netizens discovered it, they immediately browsed it.

The post is being shared and commented on at an alarming rate.

The post appeared for only one minute before the forum staff noticed the alarming data anomaly, and two minutes later, it was pinned to the top of the homepage.

The post's title is very simple, only nine characters:
How you seek revenge is up to you!
