The Beastfolk's Internal Struggle

The territory of the Spirit Resonance Rainforest Beastfolk is only a few hundred kilometers away from here.

For those who have reached a high level of enlightenment, it is no different from a few kilometers.

Time was of the essence, Shisui did not begin his research on the spot.

He quickly wrapped the two materials to be studied with his Koukaku.

He was particularly concerned about whether the Insect Hive would continue to emanate Soul Energy after it awoke.

Therefore, three more layers of Koukaku were added to the outside.

The gaps between the Koukaku were filled with Feather Powder, further isolating the Insect Hive from the outside world.

Therefore, he created two smaller Alternate Spaces for the two experimental materials, storing them separately.

The thick fog slowly dissipated, with some of it quickly drifting towards Yin City.

They are there to identify and fill in any gaps.

Shisui needs to ensure that all traces of the experiments in Yin City have been completely destroyed, leaving no risk of exposing his own abilities.

As for whether or not to reveal one's existence.

He didn't seem to care that much.

The reason he concealed his activities while conducting experiments in Yin City was simply because he was worried about being disturbed.

He had already been exposed long before he stole the Soul Energy of the Human Race's Heaven-Controlling Realm avatar.

It's not a big problem.

Even though a being in the Heaven-Controlling Realm cannot go all out, his survivability is extremely high; you can't kill him without going all out.

As for those below the Heaven-Controlling Realm, it's best to worry about whether he'll hunt them down.

In a sense, he was now able to hunt with impunity.

"If that's the case, why should I leave?"

As he pondered, Shisui understood.

Why let the Beastfolk follow his Soul Energy to find him? He might as well just slaughter the Spirit Resonance Rainforest.

Anyway, the more Flesh Crystals, the better!

A glint of undisguised greed flashed in his blood- Kakugan.

Radiant Feathers instantly sliced open a Space Wormhole, and on the other side of the Wormhole was the Spirit Resonance Rainforest.

Meanwhile, deep within the Spirit Resonance Rainforest, in the core area of Beastfolk race's territory.

Although the Beastfolk live in the dense forest year-round, giving outsiders the impression of being savage and uncivilized.

But the truth is quite the opposite; they also possessed high intelligence and complex cognition, and had their own civilization and technological products.

Otherwise, the Beastfolk would not have been distinguished from ordinary wild beasts and would not have become an intelligent species.

The size of the Spirit Resonance Rainforest settlement is comparable to that of large settlements of other races.

However, comparing the settlements of the Beastfolk with those of other races reveals many differences.

For example, they are not particularly enthusiastic about cutting down trees to build houses.

They prefer to be close to nature and live in harmony with these trees.

This is why the architectural style here is unique.

Most of the houses are treehouses that blend perfectly with the surrounding trees.

Some of these treehouses are suspended high beneath the tree canopy, resembling castles in the air;

Some are tightly embraced by the thick trunks of several huge trees, like children being gently cared for by nature.

The houses are all different in shape, yet they inadvertently present a kind of well-arranged beauty.

Only in the center of the settlement was a wide open area deliberately cleared out.

There, a four-story building with a considerable floor area stands.

This tall building stands out from the crowd, as if proclaiming its special status to the world—this is the power center of this settlement.

That's the Settlement Management Committee building.

Normally, this building is exceptionally quiet at night.

After all, people generally leave their workplace after get off work.

No one would want to stay in the office in the middle of the night.

However, today was somewhat unusual. The building was brightly lit, as bright as day.

Countless committee staff members bustled about inside the building, their figures, some tall and some short, hurrying past.

Judging from their bloodshot eyes, it was clear that these people hadn't slept all night.

"All analysts, quickly analyze the transmitted Soul Energy. I need the exact location in five minutes!"

"Continue negotiating with the messenger who is in contact with the Lantiao Main Branch; don't let them cut off communications!"

"The rest of the communications officers will take turns calling Hua Yixuan, don't stop!"

"Part of the Insect Race contact information is used to locate the Insect Hive that Hua Yixuan is following!"

The secretary to the chairman of the Management Committee is currently issuing various orders loudly.

He didn't care whether the ordinary employees working like oxen and horses could handle it.

Anyway, his only responsibility is to convey the chairman's "decrees".

The employees below, who were working like crazy, dared not speak out against their anger. They could only try their best to finish their work so that they could get some rest time after dawn.

The employees were busy, and the senior executives in the conference room were not idle either.

The meeting room was less noisy than outside, and the conversation was restrained, reflecting a sense of fear of the leader.

At the very front of the conference table sat an elderly Beastfolk with graying hair.

His posture exuded the aura of someone in a superior position, while the top chair undoubtedly highlighted his status and position.

This old Beastfolk was the leader of the Spirit Resonance Rainforest Beastfolk.

He is the president of the Spirit Resonance Rainforest Settlement Management Committee.

At this moment, his expression was serious and cold, his brows furrowed, clearly indicating that he was in a bad mood.

Have you managed to contact Hua Yixuan?

The old chairman's voice broke the silence in the meeting room.

A Beastfolk sitting below him glanced quickly at the communicator in his hand and then replied with a hint of helplessness.

"Not yet, President. Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid Hua Yixuan is in grave danger."

Upon hearing this news, the atmosphere in the meeting room became even more tense.

With Hua Yixuan in trouble, their chance to detain Hua Guangqi has completely vanished.

A Beastfolk sitting near the front hesitated for a moment before finally asking the old guild leader a question.

"Should we notify Mr. Hua Guangqi?"

Hua Guangqi only has this one son, and he's getting old. Now, in addition, he's been dismissed from his post and imprisoned.

It's hard to say whether hearing this news will have a serious impact on his mental state.

The former chairman was naturally aware of these things as well.

But without the slightest hesitation, he nodded decisively in agreement.

"If Hua Yixuan misses his chance, he will likely be sent to Lanqiao."

The old chairman's tone revealed a cold resolve.

"Since we can't protect it, at least we shouldn't let Lanqiao and her group get away with it."

The old chairman's words were like a final decision, plunging the entire conference room into a deathly silence.

His meaning couldn't be clearer— Hua Guangqi must die.

Now it's just a matter of choosing the right way to die so as not to negatively impact international public opinion about the Spirit Resonance Rainforest Beastfolk.

Ignoring the complicated expressions of the other senior executives, the old chairman raised his hand and wrote a note.

"Song Xinrong," the old chairman called to his secretary, "Go and inform Mr. Hua Guangqi."

He handed the note to his secretary.

The secretary accepted the item with both hands and then respectfully left the meeting room.

"Once the analysts have pinpointed the location of the Soul Energy transmission, the military will dispatch an elite company to investigate."

"Also, the military..."

The meeting continued, but the intelligence regarding military missions that followed was no longer relevant to Song Xinrong.

After leaving the meeting room, he first went to a corner of the restroom where there were no surveillance cameras or eavesdropping, and then carefully opened the note.

It read: Tell him that his son is dead, and the murderer is suspected to be from the Lantiao Main Branch, leading him toward self-destruction.

After confirming the mission, Song Xinrong immediately activated his Psychic Energy to destroy the note.

He turned and left the toilet, heading towards the place where Hua Guangqi was being temporarily detained.
