"Mm, you can stand up to speak," Ge Dongxu said lightly.

"Thank you, Master Ge." Gan Lei rose to his feet as instructed and then stood respectfully in front of Ge Dongxu with his hands clasped.

"What's the situation?" Ge Dongxu asked.

"For now, the three sides have stopped fighting, but I have yet to give a definite reply to Suowen," Gan Lei replied respectfully.

"Suowen is the warlord who collaborates with the Japanese?" Ge Dongxu asked, a hint of murderous intent flashing through his eyes.

"Yes. Suowen was originally one of my brigade commanders. Later, behind my back, he got involved with the Japanese, helping them search for treasures buried in the jungle during World War II. I would still be in the dark if it weren't for a subordinate who, dissatisfied with his betrayal, secretly informed me," Gan Lei replied, his eyes revealing a flicker of hateful intent.

Suowen's betrayal had directly taken away nearly one-third of his force, striking a significant blow to Gan Lei's strength.

Naturally, for a warlord like Gan Lei, his brigade—whether in equipment or in manpower—could not compare to a regular army.

His mention of a brigade consisted roughly of two thousand men, and they were of mixed quality.

Ge Dongxu naturally wouldn't dwell on warlords like Gan Lei from the jungles of Northern Myanmar, who had once been a drug lord with several brigade commanders under him. Instead, he curled his lips into a cold smile, "So you mean to say that Suowen's soldiers were once yours too? If you kill Suowen and a few other main officers, you should be able to take control of this troop again?"

"Yes, Master Ge!" Gan Lei replied respectfully, his face unable to hide his inner euphoria.

No one knew the terror of Ge Dongxu better than him!

"However, from what my men have reported, the Japanese at Suowen's side may not be so simple," Gan Lei quickly suppressed the euphoria in his heart and reminded him with a grave expression.

"I remember you had someone quite formidable by your side half a year ago too, whose name also contained the character 'Suo,'" Ge Dongxu said indifferently, a powerful aura subtly emanating from him.

He was now at the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer Realm! His strength had improved several realms since he had first come to the jungle more than half a year ago; it wasn't just the rabble in front of him—whether it was capturing or killing someone from a real elite military force, it would be a matter of ease for him.

It was really true—he could grab the enemy commander's head from amid ten thousand soldiers as if reaching into a bag to pull something out.

And the Japanese behind Suowen, who even Gan Lei couldn't handle, what threat could they pose to him?

Upon Ge Dongxu mentioning that skilled and brutal Suo Meng, Gan Lei unconsciously broke out in cold sweat, trembling as he said, "Returning to Master Ge, that man's name is Suo Meng."

"What about the Thai force?" Ge Dongxu nodded and asked.

"Bacha's influence in the Golden Triangle is similar to mine, and it's said that he might have the backing of the Thai military. His territory ends just at this valley, so he's also aware of this matter and has joined in. He's already agreed to Suowen's proposal to negotiate and enter the valley for investigation together," Gan Lei replied.

"His agreement is useless because I have not agreed," Ge Dongxu replied indifferently, his aura becoming even more powerful and dominating.

"Yes, Master Ge!" Gan Lei replied respectfully, unconsciously straightening up.

"You, arrange things here and then bring a few people to go with me to Suowen's place first. I would like to see what emboldens the Japanese to stretch their hands here after all these years since World War II," Ge Dongxu said, his presence exuding an icy, deadly force.

"Yes!" Hearing this, Gan Lei's heart thumped hard, but he immediately stood at attention to accept the command.

Soon, Gan Lei called over five people.

All five of them had witnessed Ge Dongxu's capabilities years ago. As soon as they saw him, they shivered and immediately knelt on one knee, respectfully saying, "We greet Master Ge!"

"Let's go." Ge Dongxu, seeing that everyone had arrived, nodded.

"Yes." Gan Lei respectfully responded and then led Ge Dongxu out of the village.

The village was located halfway up the hillside, below was a valley, and opposite were two smaller mountains.

Each mountain had troops stationed on it, emitting a fierce and malevolent aura.

The three mountains perfectly guarded the valley. Anyone wishing to enter the valley would be exposed to the sight of the other side.

A huge pit, at least thirty meters in diameter, was conspicuously present in the middle of the valley. Looking down from the hillside, it was pitch black, and the bottom was not visible at first glance.

"Master Ge, that is the Sky Pit that appeared suddenly," Gan Lei pointed to the pit below that appeared like a small pond from above and said.

"Hmm." Ge Dongxu nodded noncommittally, his Divine Sense had already stretched out like a tentacle, probing into the Sky Pit.

But the Sky Pit was as impenetrable as it seemed from above. Just as Ge Dongxu's Divine Sense entered, it vanished without a trace as if swallowed by the sea in the blink of an eye.

Ge Dongxu experienced a slight dizziness in his brain and was startled. He dared not continue using his Divine Sense for investigation.

Withdrawing his Divine Sense, Ge Dongxu's eyes revealed a trace of solemnity and surprise.

The solemnity was because the Sky Pit indeed had anomalies, and even with his current strength, entering it might not be safe.

The surprise was that although his Divine Sense had disappeared like it had never existed, he still faintly felt a familiar, intimate aura.

What exactly was in this Sky Pit? Why was there a thread of familiarity and intimacy?

Ge Dongxu stared intently at the Sky Pit, his hand subconsciously reaching for the Life and Death Dual Aspects Sword hanging around his neck.

"Master Ge, please get in the car." While Ge Dongxu was pondering, Gan Lei cautiously reminded him.

"Hmm." Ge Dongxu snapped out of his thoughts, nodded, and climbed into the military jeep.

A winding and uneven mountain road connected the village nestled within the mountains.

"What? The outpost report says Gan Lei is actually driving towards us? Just two vehicles and seven people?" In the temporarily requisitioned military camp in the mountain village, Suowen could hardly believe his own ears.

"Yes, General!" The reporting officer was also clearly puzzled.

"What is Gan Lei thinking? Does he think he can still issue orders to me? Or does he believe that just by beckoning, my soldiers will switch their allegiance back to him?" After receiving confirmation, Suowen couldn't help talking to himself.

"Why bother yourself, General? Wouldn't meeting Gan Lei clarify everything? Are you telling me your over a thousand guns are scared of Gan Lei's seven men?" Tanaka Motoyoshi's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent.
