A Powerful Dragon from the Capital

In Demon Capital, at the headquarters of the Great Xia Night Watchers, in a massive, futuristic intelligence analysis room filled with holographic projections.

The Moon Grade investigator, codenamed "Baihu," was dressed in a smart white uniform, arms crossed, his silvery-white eyes fixed on the constantly flashing red dot on the screen.

On the screen, the abandoned factory area in the south of the city and the Pan Family manor in the city center had been completely transformed into a deathly gray, signifying the end of the high-energy reaction.

"The three major families joined forces and wiped out a first-rate family overnight. What a grand scheme!"

Baihu sneered and turned to look at the trembling intelligence analyst beside him.

"How did Qinglong handle such a commotion?"

The analyst swallowed hard, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and reported in a low voice, "Reporting to... Lord Baihu, Lord Qinglong Dragon issued a supreme order before the incident, strictly forbidding all Night Watchers from interfering in any actions of the three major families. He even personally approved the 'legitimacy' of this purge."

"Ignore it? They even allowed it?!"

Baihu's eyes instantly turned extremely sharp, and a terrifying pressure belonging to the [True Power Realm] One Flash through the room, almost causing the analyst to kneel on the ground.

"That old fox, has he gone mad?!"

Baihu was well aware Demon Capital the dirty dealings in Shanghai's underworld. Why would the three major families want to destroy the Pan Family? It couldn't possibly be for some shred of justice! The Pan Family was just a front for them, used to supply human blood and gore!

She ignored the analyst, turned and strode out of the intelligence room, heading straight for the dark gold door on the top floor of headquarters, which was always tightly closed.

That was the private office of the highest-ranking commander of the Great Xia Night Watchers in Demon Capital —a [Sun Grade] investigator. He was also the only [Sea of Consciousness Realm] expert openly known in the entire Demon Capital!

"Knock knock knock."

The Baihu knocked on the door.

"Come in, Baihu." An extremely ancient voice, as if it had seen through the vicissitudes of life, resounded directly in Baihu's mind. This was the manifestation of the spiritual power of the Sea of Consciousness Realm expert.

Baihu pushed open the door and entered, seeing an old man dressed in a gray cloth robe, resting with his eyes closed.

"My lord, the three major families wiped out the Pan Family, Qinglong not only didn't stop them, but actually gave them the green light! They are very likely using the Pan Family's experts to feed those high-level Variants on a large scale!"

Baihu cut to the chase, his tone revealing extreme concern.

"Once those high-level Variants devour enough high-quality blood essence, their strength will definitely skyrocket! This is equivalent to planting a super bomb right next to us!"

Faced with the Baihu's urgency, the old man simply opened his eyes slowly, his cloudy eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Baihu, I greatly admire your sense of justice."

The old man sighed, his tone revealing an extremely helpless compromise.

"But did you know that the three old guys behind the three major families are also at the Sea of Consciousness Realm? They joined forces to exert pressure, and even offered a batch of ' True Power Level' Variants blood essence as a bargaining chip."

The old man shook his head. "As long as we can produce this strategic resource that allows people to break through bottlenecks and extend their lifespan, sacrificing the Pan Family, or even taking some risks, is 'worth it.' Moreover, the three major families have solemnly guaranteed that with their three patriarchs personally suppressing it, there will be absolutely no mishaps."

"How could that possibly be foolproof?!" Baihu retorted through gritted teeth.

"Rules are rules." The old man closed his eyes again, issuing the order to leave. "This matter ends here. The Night Watchers's duty is to follow orders and maintain the existing balance. You may leave."

"Your subordinate takes his leave."

Baihu left the office.

She felt an intense unease; this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

at the same time.

In the heart of Demon Capital, on the outskirts of the ruins of the Pan Family Manor.

A figure dressed in an extremely ordinary black jacket and wearing a baseball cap stood quietly in a dark alley, coldly watching the peripheral members of the three major families who were cleaning up the scene.

This person concealed his aura extremely well; even a passing patrol of the Blood Transformation Realm guards failed to detect his presence.

"Hmph, just as the family predicted."

The man in the baseball cap took out an extremely small, specially made communicator and dialed an encrypted channel that spanned thousands of kilometers.

"Master."

The man lowered his voice, his tone revealing an extremely excited fervor.

"Those three old dogs in Demon Capital finally couldn't contain their greed and slaughtered the Pan Family."

A low chuckle came from the other end of the phone.

"Now that they've already torn off all pretense of civility..."

The voice on the other end of the phone instantly became extremely sharp, carrying an air of domineering authority.

"Pass down the order! Demon Capital this game of Shanghai, it's now our turn, Capital, to enter and reshuffle the deck!"

"Yes!" The man in the baseball cap acknowledged the order, and with a flicker, disappeared into the alley.

The next day, early morning.

The sun still shone brightly on the vast campus of Demon Capital Martial University.

Although an extremely terrifying battle broke out in the south and city center last night, the news that the Pan Family family, a first-class family, was wiped out overnight had already spread like wildfire in the underworld and aristocratic circles.

But for ordinary students at Wuhan University, this seems like another world. The campus is still full of youthful energy, and students are still busy running between the training ground and the classroom for a few credits and resources.

Occasionally, a few people would whisper among themselves, but they were extremely discreet and dared not discuss it further, for fear of getting into trouble.

The dormitory area for exchange students at Jinling Martial University.

Instructor Wang urgently summoned six second- and third-year students together, his expression extremely grave.

"A truly horrific event occurred in Demon Capital last night! A top-tier family was wiped out!"

Instructor Wang surveyed the group and sternly warned, "Remember this! During your time in Demon Capital, everyone must maintain absolute discretion! Aside from attending classes and going to the library, you are not allowed to go anywhere else! Anyone who dares to cause trouble outside will be sent back to Jinling without any regard for our teacher-student relationship!"

"Yes, mentor!" The three third-year students and Xiahou Ying answered in unison, their Central Capital revealing a hint of lingering fear.

After the meeting.

Just as everyone was about to disperse, the sophomore boy named Lin Feng deliberately lagged behind and walked up to Dongfang Yueming with great smugness.

"Dongfang, Dongfang, the mentor is right. A penniless nobody like you should stay in the dorm obediently, lest you go out and not even know how you died."

Lin Feng patted his chest, his face beaming with undisguised pride, "But I'm different."

He pulled out an exquisite medicine bottle from his pocket, which emitted a faint smell of blood, and waved it arrogantly in front of Dongfang Yueming.

"See this? This is a top-grade ' Stage-Breaking Pill ' specially approved for me by the ' Resource Mutual Aid Association ' of the Demon Capital Martial University Union!"

Lin Feng lowered his voice, his tone filled with fervor, "I've successfully applied for a student loan! With these resources, I'll definitely break through to the eighth or even ninth level of the Blood Nourishing Realm within a month! Then, I'll be the true top student among this batch of exchange students!"

"As for a piece of trash like you who's still stuck in the same place, you'll only be able to look up to me for the rest of your life. Hahaha!"

Lin Feng laughed loudly, then turned around and ran back to his dormitory to swallow the pills.

Ignorance is bliss.

Dongfang Yueming shook his head.

"However, the situation in Demon Capital is becoming increasingly chaotic."

Dongfang Yueming stood downstairs at the dormitory building, mentally planning his next move.

"I now have a huge sum of twenty million in hand, it's time to get the rest of the eye techniques and hand Qi Technique sorted out. These Yellow Grade materials are indispensable for deduce Heaven Grade techniques."

He touched the gold room key with its subtle fragrance in his pocket.

"Should we go find that fairy named Hong Gui? As a high-ranking member of the Resisters, she must know the ins and outs of Demon Capital's black market much better than I do."

"Going with her to the black market to buy things will definitely save you a lot of trouble."

Just as Dongfang Yueming made up his mind to go to the "Cloud Hotel" for his appointment that evening.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, without warning, an extremely piercing electrical sound erupted from the entire campus broadcasting system of Demon Capital Martial University!

Immediately afterwards, a piece of news that caused an instant uproar at Demon Capital Martial University, and even among the Demon Capital families of Shanghai, spread wildly through the radio and the campus network!

Urgent notification! Urgent notification!

On the radio, the voice of the president of Demon Capital Martial University carried an extremely rare hint of excitement and solemnity!

"Attention all faculty and students! The highest exchange delegation from the Great Xia Martial Dao world— the Capital Martial University delegation—and the core inspection team from the Capital super family ' Long Family ' have arrived in Demon Capital today!"

"A dragon from Capital has come to Demon Capital?!"

Upon hearing this news, the entire campus fell into a deathly silence, followed by an earth-shattering uproar that seemed to tear roofs off!
