Meanwhile, a temporary encampment of the Linjiang Army by the River. This encampment is adjacent to the Black Blade Security Company.
However, compared to the small buildings of the security company nearby, the scale of the temporary encampment is noticeably larger. Moreover, it exudes the efficiency and vigor typical of a regular military force.
At this moment, inside the central small building of the encampment, seven people are gathered around a round table, deep in discussion.
Among these seven individuals, three are dressed in the military uniforms of the Linjiang Army, seated at the head. The leader among them is a burly, bald man. To his left is a slender woman. And to his right, a lean man. They are the three commanders of the Linjiang Army, named Xiong Xing, Lin Qiao, and Li Tiemu respectively.
The other four individuals are dressed in civilian clothes, and seated on both sides. These four are the four superhumans of the Black Blade Security Company. The crew-cut man is Wang Jiangang. The middle-aged lean man is Wang Jiangang's cousin, Wang Yong. The stout man is Tang Jinchuan. The middle-aged one-armed man is Song Dayi.
"...I still believe that, given the number of our personnel, it is impossible to intercept the Twin-headed Python from entering the lower reaches of the Dragon River. We must request reinforcements from headquarters." Li Tiemu said sternly. "Do not forget, that python broke through the blockade formed by the five of us and over three hundred Linjiang soldiers!"
Lin Qiao, however, immediately shook her head, "That python had already suffered a serious injury when it broke through the blockade in the first place, and some time ago it also fought with an unknown being and suffered another injury, so now it is definitely nestled to recuperate. By the time support from headquarters arrives its wounds will have already healed! I believe there is no time to delay; we must quickly make arrangements to intercept the python and ensure it does not enter the lower reaches of the Dragon River. That area is not our territory."
Xiong Xing rubbed his temples and looked toward the seldom-speaking members of Black Blade. He asked, "This city is your turf, Wang Gangjian, what are your thoughts?"
Wang Gangjian offered a sheepish smile, "What thoughts could I possibly have? I will defer to your judgment."
He was merely a retired soldier who had returned to civilian life. Had it not been for the Linjiang Army's conscription and his own fortuitous awakening of talent, he would never have been able to establish the Black Blade Security Company and claim Donghu as his territory. He understood this much at least.
Wang Gangjian said nothing, but Tang Jinchuan spoke up. "I suggest we ask for assistance from the cultivator residing at the Haotai Hotel. With his intervention, not only intercepting the Twin-headed Python but even killing it would not be difficult!"
After he spoke, Xiong Xing, Lin Qiao, and Li Tiemu all frowned.
Wang Gangjian and Wang Yong inwardly cursed their luck. Since the three Linjiang Army officers had been stationed in the City, they had been ordered to contact the mysterious cultivator at the Haotai Hotel.
However, no matter how much they called out, there was not a sound from within the hotel. If they tried to force their way in, it was like entering a fog, leaving them dizzy and disoriented, walking for two or three hours only to find they were still in the same place.

Clearly, this mysterious cultivator had no intention of meeting them. They, as commanders of the Linjiang Army, pillars of the strongest force in Linjiang Province, could not repeatedly lower themselves to court disdain from others.
Xiong Xing said indifferently, "That person does not wish to see us; let us speak no more of this."
Tang Jinchuan wanted to argue further. But he was pulled back by Song Dayi. He had no choice but to sit down.
Tang Jinchuan had witnessed the cultivator's divine might firsthand. A powerful mutant spider was effortlessly slain by the cultivator. From then on, he knew that the cultivator's strength was incomparable to them.
Even Ye Nantian, a general of the Linjiang Army who had advanced to a fourth-level superhuman a few months ago, would likely be no match for him.
Unfortunately, these three commanders were too proud, having only visited the Haotai Hotel twice before giving up. It seemed they felt it beneath their dignity. It was truly pitiful.
