Chapter 35: The difference between having a backstage and not having one

  （0035）

  The problem is that Wu Qilong thought of a terrible thing, which is the thirty-three kinds of internal strength that Xia Xingxiao cultivated. Without a doubt, when Xia Xingxiao was creating the Life and Death Talisman, he would definitely have infused the true energy of these thirty-three different internal strengths into it. Others who want to dissolve it must also simultaneously master these thirty-three internal strengths.

  However, looking at the entire Federal Army, and even the entire Starry Sky World, who else besides Xia Xinghe would go to cultivate thirty-three different types of internal energy? The solution to the Life and Death Seal is simple yet not simple. It's simple because as long as the true energy matches, it can be solved instantly. It's not simple because if the true energy doesn't match, it can't be solved no matter what.

  In other words, except for Xia Xingxiao, no one else can dissolve the life and death talisman in his body. Once it is forcibly dissolved, the thirty-three different true energies in his body will explode, and it would be strange if he can survive. Of course, this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that once the seal is broken and the life and death talisman is activated, the thirty-three different true energies in his body will wreak havoc, making him unable to live or die, and that is the most terrifying thing.

  Xia Xing said lightly: "What? Afraid that others can't decipher your life and death symbol?"

  Wu Qilong was speechless. Paralyzed, aren't you asking a rhetorical question? If it weren't for your thirty-three martial arts skills, would I have admitted defeat so quickly?

  "Perhaps you should try it."

  Ng Siu Lung could only continue to pretend to be obedient. He smiled wryly and said: "No need, no need."

  Xia Xingxiao seemed even more nonchalant, but the more he was inwardly shocked and terrified, the more certain he became that his own life-and-death talisman contained Xia Xingxiao's thirty-three inner skills. The one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it; if someone else were to forcibly break the seal, it would be absolutely disastrous.

  In fact, Xia Xingxiao had indeed infused thirty-three different true energies into the Life and Death Token. Since he had such an innate advantage, why not use it? Others wanted to dissolve his thirty-three true energies... Haha, first cultivate thirty-three inner skills!

  Indeed, the Life and Death Seal made its first move, and it was enough to stun Wu Qilong, a formidable general. For people like him, cutting off one of his arms or legs, or even his fifth limb, would be of no use. Only the most vicious techniques like the Life and Death Seal could stun them. Perhaps this is what they mean by "fighting poison with poison".

  Xia Xing stood leisurely, saying lightly: "If you want to save your life, it's best to provide some valuable intelligence! The rubbish on the streets will only bring you suffering."

  Wu Qilong didn't dare to be slow and hastily said: "Xia Dasao, Song Hailong not only wants to kill you, but also sent someone to deal with your father..."

  Xia Xingxiao's face changed suddenly, and her breathing became noticeably rapid.

  Song Hailong actually sent someone to deal with his own father? Damn it! This son of a bitch is dead for sure!

  Almost subconsciously, Xia Xingxiao grabbed Wu Qilong's neck and said coldly: "Speak! What exactly does Song Hailong want to do to my father, and who did he send!"

  It's no wonder that Xia Xingxiao reacted so strongly. He had never had a biological mother since he was young, only a stepmother and father. Therefore, his father was his only relative, his only support. Although his stepmother was very good to him, she had never been accepted by Xia Xingxiao because of the lack of blood ties. Now that he suddenly heard that his father was in danger, it would be strange if he could calm down.

  "Wu Qilong stuttered: 'I heard that he wants to take over your father's company...'"

  Xia Xing Xiao slowly loosened Wu Qilong's neck and said solemnly, "Very well, tell me everything you know, every single bit of it!"

  ……

  Myanmar military base, hospital, certain ward.

  Song Haicheng sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the report from the man in black.

  The man in black's report was brief and to the point, lasting less than three minutes.

  Song Haicheng frowned and said, "The five of them aren't from the Myanmar military base? It seems that my fifth brother's methods are quite formidable. He can actually sneak people from other military bases into the Myanmar military base! That's really impressive!"

  The man in black whispered: "Young Master Wu naturally has his own methods. I reckon that by now, Xia Xingxiao should already be dead."

  Song Haicheng nodded and said, "Very good."

  He says it's fine, but actually his mood is terrible.

  Xia Xingxiao is dead, and the value of Xia Qianfeng's tea petal ore trading company is far from comparable. That's a trading company worth tens of billions of star coins, if only it could be taken in by oneself, how great that would be. Unfortunately, Wu Ge took the lead one step ahead.

  Fortunately, Xia Xingxiao, that disgusting thing, is finally dead. From now on, without his existence, I may become the most outstanding member of the new recruits. In the future, I will be the brightest new star in the Mian Luo military base! My future prospects are a vast expanse of splendor and brilliance!

  ……

  "If you succeed, how are you going to deal with my corpse?" Xia Xingxiao suddenly asked curiously after getting all the information from Wu Qilong's mouth.

  "Put it in the Zorvath spaceship and take it away." Wu Qilong dared not lie, and replied honestly.

  Xia Xing nodded slightly, not saying anything. Earlier, Wu Qilong had already confessed that they were all from other military bases and came to the Myanmar Lo Military Base under the pretext of visiting comrades. The one who led them here was a sergeant named Cheng Shengzhou. Apparently, this Cheng Shengzhou was Song Hailong's confidant. It was even possible that he was directly related to the Song family.

  Actually, Song Hailong's mind is similar to Xia Xingxiao. Xia Xingxiao also wants to thoroughly get rid of Song Haicheng when he has the chance. An enemy like this, left in the world, is very dangerous. Letting go of one's own enemy is equivalent to joking with one's own life.

  However, Xia Xingxiao was a bit curious. Killing someone in a military base would have serious consequences. If a member of the troops went missing, the relevant departments would definitely investigate. What method did Song Haicheng have to wipe his butt clean? Even if he hid his own body in the Zhuo Ka spaceship and took it away, once the Mian Luo Military Base started investigating, it would be a troublesome matter. Could Chen Duohe really ignore the disappearance of a new recruit?

  Xia Xingxiao asked: "What is Song Haicheng relying on?"

  Ng said: "I heard that the chief of staff at the base was his relative."

  Wu Qilong paused for a moment, then continued: "Song Hailong also bragged to me that one of the eight marshals of the Federal Army, Song Weiting, who is also the deputy chief of staff and commander-in-chief of the Eighth Military Region, is from their Song family. I don't know if it's true or not, but I think it probably is."

  Xia Xingxiao's heart finally trembled slightly. So that's how it is. No wonder Song Hailong and Song Haicheng were so bold. It turns out they had such a powerful backing in the military. As the chief of staff of Song Tianhao's Mianluo Military Base, if he obstructed the investigation, it was indeed possible to let it slide. Chen Duohe couldn't afford to offend the Song family just for a new recruit. Chen Duohe was also very clear about the Song family's backing.

  However, when it came to Xia Xing's hands, things were not so simple. He had no backing. He had no chief of staff to wipe his butt for him. Perhaps he could kill Song Haicheng, but he couldn't wipe his butt clean. He would definitely be held accountable and going to a military court was unavoidable. And if Song Haicheng killed him, he could wipe his butt clean without being held accountable or going to a military court.

  That's the difference.

  The difference between having a background and not having one.

  Whether you can wipe your butt clean is a reflection of the strength of the backstage.

  Perhaps, among ordinary people, this rich second generation lives a life of unparalleled glory. However, in the army, he is purely a grassroots, a nobody. He has no backing in the army. Now, he can be said to have no one to turn to, with many enemies and even more people who dislike him.

  On the contrary, Song Haicheng in the army is considered a military second-generation. Because his family's elders are the base's chief of staff, a position and power that are only under the base commander Chen Duo Hai. And his greater background is one of the eight marshals of the Federal Army, Song Weiting. Good heavens, that's a marshal of the Federal Army! A 22nd-level cultivator!

  Let's not mention the marshal for now, just the chief of staff Song Tian Gao alone can make Xia Xing Xiao feel extremely inferior. He is a third-class soldier, while the other is a colonel, with a difference of fourteen ranks in between. If someone were to personally take action against him, it would be as simple as crushing an ant. It's even easier than that. Just a blow of air or a glance, and Xia Xing Xiao would vanish into thin air, leaving no trace behind.

  Xia Xingxiao felt for the first time that his status was so lowly. And his strength was also so weak. He felt strongly for the first time that he had to become stronger. His top target was Song Tiangao!

  "What's going on now? How should we handle it?" Xia Xingxiao said casually.

  "...I don't know." Wu Qilong replied honestly. Things had developed to the point where he really didn't know how to handle it anymore.

  Xia Xingxiao let out a soft sigh, and with one punch to Wu Qilong's forehead, he was killed instantly. Since you don't even know how to handle it yourself, then let me take care of it. Killing Song Haicheng might have had consequences, but killing Wu Qilong didn't. On this point, Xia Xingxiao could be certain, and so he killed without any hesitation.

  Even if the Myanmar military base investigates later, Xia Xingxiao has enough reason to deny that their deaths have nothing to do with himself. First of all, these five people are secretly infiltrating from other military bases, and their identities cannot be exposed. Since their identities cannot be exposed, their deaths will not be able to be exposed either.
