Chapter 462: Restarting the Modern Times 15

Chao Yao closed his eyes and continuously injected his spiritual power into the seal.

The originally flickering spiritual light on the seal began to gradually stabilize, and the damaged lines slowly healed under the nourishment of the immortal power.

The colleagues around him were all staring at Chao Yao. Originally there to watch a good show, their expressions gradually changed from mocking to amazement.

Wang Zhixia also widened her eyes. She couldn’t believe that Chao Yao actually had the ability to repair the seal.

Just when the seal was about to be completely repaired, Chao Yao suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a gleam of light in his eyes, as if there were bright stars twinkling in them.

She opened her cherry lips and muttered something. It was an ancient immortal spell, obscure and difficult to understand but full of great power.

The immortal power in her body seemed to be summoned. It rushed out from her dantian like a surging river and rushed madly along her meridians to her hands.

Chao Yao changed the seals with his hands so quickly that only a trail of afterimages was left behind.

As immortal power continued to be injected, the space around the seal began to distort slightly, as if it could not withstand this powerful force.

The spiritual light that had originally tended to be stable, under the impact of this new powerful immortal power, suddenly burst into a dazzling light, like the scorching sun in the sky.

Suddenly, a light that was almost extremely dazzling flashed, and that light was like a sharp sword, piercing straight around.

In the light, the last trace of damage on the seal healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. After healing, Chao Yao pushed his hands forward violently, and his immortal power transformed into countless runes flashing with dim light, which quickly attached to the seal like a lively elf.

These runes intertwined and merged with each other, gradually forming an additional layer of protective barrier.

This layer of barrier flickered with mysterious light, and there seemed to be a nebula slowly rotating in the light, and there seemed to be mysterious beasts galloping and roaring in it.

Every time a halo of light flows, it exudes a powerful force that makes people's heart frightened, as if there is a world that can destroy everything hidden under this barrier.

This powerful fluctuation of power moved everyone present. They felt Chao Yao's unfathomable strength, and Wang Zhixia's face turned pale and he stood there in a daze.

Chao Yao turned around, looked at Wang Zhixia and said coldly: "Didn't you want to see my ability? Now you see it."

Wang Zhixia's face turned red. She wanted to refute but didn't know what to say.

Chao Yao did not give up. She continued, "It is ignorant of you to slander others without knowing their strength. The Special Affairs Bureau is a place to handle important matters, not a place for you to vent your jealousy."

Colleagues around me began to whisper.

A female colleague named Lin Xuan frowned and said to the person next to her, "Wang Zhixia is too much. He is targeting Chao Yao as soon as he arrives. He is obviously very capable. Just now, you saw how Chao Yao repaired the seal. His use of immortal power was simply superb. I have been in the Special Affairs Bureau for so long, and I have never seen anyone so powerful."

Zhang Yue, a male colleague next to him, also agreed, "Yeah, I was stunned just now. The spiritual power fluctuations of the seal were so complicated, but she was able to repair it so easily and cast such a powerful barrier. Wang Zhixia also said that she got in through connections. I think she is just jealous of Chao Yao."

"I think so too. Chao Yao was treated so harshly as soon as he came in. No one can stand it. Wang Zhixia usually relies on his seniority and is a bit arrogant. Today he has hit a wall." Another colleague, Li Wan, said softly.

"Chao Yao looks weak, but I didn't expect her to be so powerful. Just now, when I saw her mobilizing her spiritual power, it was as obedient as a silk thread, and the last time, the light almost blinded my eyes. This strength must be extraordinary." The young colleague Zhao Yang's eyes were full of amazement.

Everyone was talking at once, and most of the words expressed dissatisfaction with Wang Zhixia's behavior and admiration for Chao Yao's strength.

Many colleagues cast condemning glances at Wang Zhixia. The colleagues who had originally gathered around to watch the show now unconsciously distanced themselves from Wang Zhixia, as if she had something bad about her.

Some colleagues even walked up to Chaoyao and gave her a friendly smile to express their recognition and support for her.

Wang Zhixia felt as if she had become the target of public criticism. Her arrogance disappeared without a trace and she could only lower her head and want to leave in shame.

"stop."

He shouted at Yao, "You were so rude to me just now, shouldn't you apologize to me?"

Wang Zhixia's body stiffened. She knew that if she didn't apologize, it would be even more difficult for her to gain a foothold in the Special Affairs Bureau in the future.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally turned around and said to Chao Yao very reluctantly: "I'm sorry."

Chao Yao nodded slightly, "I hope you can be careful with your words and actions in the future, and don't slander others casually."

After saying that, Chao Yao no longer paid attention to Wang Zhixia and turned around to return to his job.

At this moment, a man with a stern face suddenly walked out of the crowd. He was wearing a black robe that fluttered in the wind, his black hair was tied up, and there was a sharp majesty between his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes that made people dare not look directly at him.

His name is Mo Yuan, and he is a person of extremely high status in the Special Affairs Bureau. Not only is his strength unfathomable, but he also plays a vital role in the decision-making of many major affairs.

Mo Yuan's eyes slowly swept across the crowd. His gaze seemed to be real, making everyone present feel an invisible pressure.

His deep and magnetic voice sounded: "Today's matter ends here. Everyone, please do not forget the mission of our Special Affairs Bureau. Now, there are abnormal spiritual fluctuations in the spiritual vein in the north of the city. It is suspected that there are evil things at work, intending to destroy the spiritual vein. If the spiritual vein is damaged, it will not only affect the balance of the surrounding spiritual energy, but may also lead to a series of disasters."

When everyone heard this, they all looked solemn.

Chao Yao also looked serious. She knew the importance of spiritual veins, which were the source of spiritual power in the entire area.

but……

I didn't expect this. I thought this was just an ordinary modern world, but there are these things too.

Before Chao Yao could think about it, Mo Yuan continued, "This operation is fraught with danger. I will lead a team to investigate the situation and solve the problem. Chao Yao, the strength you have shown today is worthy of recognition. You should come with me."

"it is good."

Chao Yao nodded slightly. Although he did not introduce himself, judging from his aura and the reactions of his colleagues, he must be a powerful person.

Mo Yuan looked at Wang Zhixia again, with a hint of warning in his eyes: "Wang Zhixia, your behavior today was inappropriate. You are also going with us on this operation. I hope you can reflect on yourself during the operation. If you behave similarly again, the bureau will not forgive you easily."

Wang Zhixia's heart tightened, and he quickly responded, "Yes, Director, Wang Zhixia understands."

Afterwards, Mo Yuan selected several experienced colleagues, and they all quickly got ready and set off together towards the spiritual vein in the north of the city.

Along the way, the atmosphere was depressing and tense. Everyone was aware of the danger they were about to face. Only Chao Yao's eyes revealed a hint of determination and expectation.
