His words immediately left Meng Xizi and the others dumbfounded. If humans couldn't solve the problem, they should let heaven decide?
Witt was particularly bewildered.
He wondered where His Majesty the King had found this esteemed master.
Did heaven really listen to him when he said that?
Wasn't that the talk of a madman?
Meng Xizi, with a look of astonishment, asked, "Esteemed Master, how can we get heaven to help us resolve this?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Old Meng, you don't need to worry about this. Once we're out of the compound, let me ask heaven for help!"
Witt found this amusing.
This person must have a screw loose.
Who did he think he was?
Would heaven obey him?
But in front of Meng Xizi, Witt bit his lip.
He didn't dare to utter a word.
Even the few ministers following behind.
All harbored doubts.
Had this esteemed master spoken too boldly?
Heaven was the realm of God!
Would God take orders from him?
The group soon exited the compound.
Those onlookers, having shed their uniforms, waited to witness the spectacle.
Cheng Xiaofan saw through their intentions.
He thought to himself, "Little ones, you don't believe this esteemed master, do you?
Then I'll show you enough to make you believe."
He immediately waved his hand.
Numerous lightning-summoning spells, infused with dragon power, shot into the sky.
Instantly.
Thick layers of dark clouds gathered above the Fussen Compound.
Within the clouds, lightning and thunder erupted.
"Hmph, Heaven, heed my command!"
Cheng Xiaofan sternly shouted, "Lightning, destroy the poison!"
As soon as he spoke.
A thunderous roar echoed, and lightning bolts as thick as a man's arm descended from the sky, striking the rooftops of every building in the Fussen Compound.
The lightning pierced through the floors.
Explosions sounded from every unit.
The noise was deafening, like thunder splitting the heavens.
Despite this.
No buildings collapsed.
Only the shockwaves from the explosions.
Shattered the windowpanes of each home, sending them flying outwards.
At this moment.
Cheng Xiaofan pointed a finger at the sky.
With a grave expression, he shouted, "Heaven, bestow rain, extinguish poison and dust!"
Instantly.
A torrential downpour began, falling from the sky.
When the surrounding people witnessed the bizarre scene unfolding before their eyes, they stood as if petrified, their eyes wide with disbelief.
"My God, is this real?"
"I never thought heaven would obey the Esteemed Master!"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it!"
"The Esteemed Master must be a divine being descended to earth!"
"With the Esteemed Master here, why should we fear the virus in our small nation!"
Half an hour later.
The lightning ceased, and the rain stopped.
The clouds parted, and the sun emerged.
"Why are you all standing there like that?"
Seeing the crowd frozen in place, as if lost in a trance, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Everything is fine now."
"The corpses in the compound, including some viruses."
"Have all been cleared!"
"Witt, take your men inside to inspect!"
Witt's spirit instantly revived, and he said, "Yes, Esteemed Master, I'll take people inside to check right away."
He then addressed the security personnel behind him, "Everyone, follow me into the Fussen Compound to inspect!"
"Yes!"
The security personnel followed Witt into the Fussen Compound.
After a while.
Witt led the security personnel back out.
"Reporting to the Esteemed Master,"
He declared with elation, "The corpses of the residents are all gone."
"And the air inside has become exceptionally fresh and pleasant!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled.
And said, "From now on, the iron gate at the entrance of the compound can be removed."
"After being treated by lightning, the compound not only has no viruses present!"
"But even if viruses appear in the future, they will not be able to spread within this compound."
Meng Xizi asked with curiosity, "Esteemed Master, do you mean that after being filtered by lightning, this compound can also prevent virus intrusion?"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately corrected him, "It's not about preventing virus intrusion."
"Rather, once a virus enters, it will be killed by the air here."
"My God, this is too powerful!"
"Even if it's powerful, is it more powerful than the Esteemed Master?"
"Indeed, even the lightning and rain from the heavens obey the Esteemed Master's command!"
"There's no need for doubt, the Esteemed Master must be the Son of God!"
"God sent him down to save humanity!"
The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.
Their gazes towards Cheng Xiaofan were filled with profound reverence.
"Old Meng,"
At this point, Cheng Xiaofan said, "Let's go back!"
Meng Xizi immediately nodded, "All right, Esteemed Master, I will obey your command!"
Now, no matter what Cheng Xiaofan said, Meng Xizi would obey without question.
The supernatural abilities Cheng Xiaofan had displayed made him want to kneel in worship on the spot.
Scenes that only existed in legends.
Were unfolding before his very eyes.
If not the Son of God, who else could achieve this?
Getting into the car.
Cheng Xiaofan narrowed his eyes and asked Meng Xizi, "Old Meng, did you send anyone to investigate those who had dinner at that barbecue restaurant last night?"
Meng Xizi replied, "There is surveillance footage inside and outside the barbecue restaurant."
"I've already sent people to investigate, and we should have a response this afternoon!"
Cheng Xiaofan knew that even with surveillance footage, it would still be difficult to track down every individual.
After all, Yingjing City was a densely populated area.
People who went to the barbecue were not necessarily in groups.
They might not even be familiar with each other.
It would undoubtedly be challenging to find these people.
At this, Meng Xizi added, "I've already given instructions that once these individuals are found."
"They are to be confined and quarantined!"
Cheng Xiaofan frowned.
And said, "As far as I know, since the outbreak of the virus."
"The capital has imposed a curfew. How dare these people defy the order?"
"Even the owner who ran the barbecue restaurant and served as the chef wouldn't risk violating the order to serve late-night meals for a small profit!"
Meng Xizi replied, "That's what puzzles me as well."
"Under normal circumstances, any order issued from the royal palace."
"Would never be disobeyed by anyone."
Cheng Xiaofan nodded.
And said thoughtfully, "It seems this matter is indeed not simple."
Meng Xizi looked at Cheng Xiaofan with some confusion, "Esteemed Master, is there something wrong with this?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "There's a very big problem here."
"I'll tell you more about it this afternoon when I meet those people!"
Not long after.
The car stopped at the main gate of the royal palace.
It was already noon.
Meng Xizi got out of the car, but Cheng Xiaofan did not.
"Esteemed Master, why aren't you getting out?" Meng Xizi asked.
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "Let Lorraine take me back to the State Guesthouse. I'll come to the palace again this afternoon."
Meng Xizi smiled and said, "Esteemed Master, it's lunchtime now, why don't you stay for a meal at the palace!"
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, "No, thank you. I'll eat at the State Guesthouse, and I need to rest a bit in the afternoon. Have Lorraine and Fanny pick me up again in the afternoon!"
"All right, we'll do as the Esteemed Master wishes!"
Meng Xizi dared not force anything upon Cheng Xiaofan.
Lorraine immediately turned the car around and drove towards the State Guesthouse.
