Mysterious Organization

"Holy Lord! He is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor! Save me!" The soul trembled violently, letting out a scream.

"I hate it when people yell and shout." As soon as Lu Qing'an finished speaking, the soul burst into flames. The Immortal-Slaying Black Flame enveloped the entire soul in the blink of an eye, and after a scream, the soul was burned into thin air.

"Alright, no one's arguing anymore, let's continue our conversation." Lu Qing'an stared at the formation.

He was certain that the person on the other side of the formation could see what was happening on his side.

This formation is very special.

This organization is far from simple.

"So it's the Eternal Night Demon Emperor! I'd only heard of him before, but seeing him in person, he truly lives up to his name—he's incredibly powerful!"

"Answer me, where do you come from?" Lu Qing'an asked.

After becoming the strongest person on the Cangyun Continent, he had never actually discovered this organization. Judging from their methods, they gave him the feeling that they didn't belong to this world.

Could it be someone from beyond this realm?

The combination of the Heavenfall Divine Metal and that energy body gave him a feeling that it didn't belong to this world.

"Eternal Night Demon Emperor, we do not wish to have further dealings with you. Since you have become involved in the Xue Household Chamber of Commerce Guild matter, we will grant you this favor and refrain from further action against the Xue Household Chamber of Commerce. Well then, until we meet again."

After that ancient voice fell, the formation suddenly exploded, bursting into intense flames.

Lu Qing'an didn't get the information he wanted, and his brows furrowed slightly.

What is certain is that this organization is afraid of him.

The amount of strength he displayed was enough that his opponent couldn't do anything about him.

"Have you been hiding so deep in there for a long time?"

Lu Qing'an walked through the cave once, scanning it again and again with his Divine Sense.

Nothing was found that could unravel the mystery surrounding this organization.

But we found something good.

"Soul-Nourishing Crystal? It's quite a large one. Looks like these guys were in such a hurry they forgot to take it."

After packing his things away, he began to fly into the sky, breaking through the soil and rocks until he reached the ground. Using his Divine Sense, he determined the exact location of the place.

"Little Xuanzi, I have a question for you." Lu Qing'an then took out Sound Transmission Jade Slip and sent a message to his disciple.

This organization is so mysterious and powerful, and it has already made moves against a behemoth like the Xue Household Chamber of Commerce, so it's likely that it has also made moves against other forces, or has already left some traces in the Demon Domain Realm.

Ask your apprentices to see if you can get any useful information.

"Master, just tell me directly," Li Cangxuan replied.

Lu Qing'an recounted what had just happened, and finally told Li Cangxuan his location.

"What! Master, you've come into contact with them?!"

"Oh? You know something about them? Wait for me, I'll come find you directly."

Lu Qing'an shattered the void with his martial arts, and a moment later, he appeared in the Demon Emperor Palace and met Li Cangxuan.

"Master! Have you caught any of them?!" Li Cangxuan asked solemnly.

"Their methods are unique, unlike anything I've ever seen before, and they're related to things like the soul. Most importantly, they react very quickly; they're no ordinary people."

It's likely that by the time the two white-robed elders used their secret technique to escape, the people inside the lair had already moved to another location.

Li Cangxuan took a deep breath and frowned. "I didn't expect things to be so complicated!"

Lu Qing'an: "Tell me in detail what information you know."

"It's quite a coincidence, really. It all started after you went to the Immortal Ruins. That's when they began to become active in the Demon Domain..." Li Cangxuan recounted how he first discovered this mysterious organization, continuing until he got to what Lu Qing'an had just mentioned.

"My subordinates recently reported that a faction was suddenly drained of its soul, and it just so happens to be within tens of thousands of miles of the place you mentioned, Master."

Lu Qing'an pondered, "They've been around for over a thousand years. Judging from the situation there just now, they seem to have quite a few people. If every major power has their people infiltrated, then things are not simple."

This mysterious organization is no ordinary entity!

"Master! Are you the only one who can detect the problem with their souls? Could you teach me?!" Li Cangxuan also became serious at this moment.

Could it be that some of his own subordinates already...?

"You're probably not up for now; you need to improve your skills further." Lu Qing'an shook his head.

Li Cangxuan swallowed hard.

Master, it's so difficult for me to improve now...

"How about this, just call all your men over here, and I'll take a look."

"OK!"

Before long, a group of powerful individuals gathered in the main hall.

Lu Qing'an remained hidden in the shadows, unnoticed by these people, and with just a glance, he spotted someone in the crowd.

Late Great Emperor Realm cultivation.

"That person is suspicious, but you'd better not expose him directly. Keep an eye on him in the future; perhaps you can find out where their new hideout is." Lu Qing'an changed his strategy.

This incident also shows that these guys really can't use special body-snatching techniques on the Peak Great Emperor Realm experts.

Li Cangxuan nodded seriously. "Okay!"

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. I'm going back to the Xue Household."

Lu Qing'an patted Li Cangxuan on the shoulder, then quietly disappeared from the spot.

A moment later, he returned to the Xue Household's meeting hall.

At that moment, everyone in the room looked at him.

"Young Master Lu, how is it?" Madam Qin asked with a smile when she saw Lu Qing'an.

Lu Qing'an said calmly, "The organization behind these two is a bit special, but there's a high probability they won't harm your Xue Household again. Of course, to be sure, I'll have to check on things from time to time."

"Okay! Thank you very much!" Madam Qin had already sensed that the situation was quite troublesome.

They managed to infiltrate their upper echelons without anyone noticing. If it weren't for Lu Qing'an, they would have become a huge hidden danger in the future!

"From today onwards, all of you must be careful! Don't spread what's happening here. In the future, even when facing your closest relatives, it's best to be cautious, ask some private questions, and only discuss important matters of the Chamber of Commerce after confirming that the other party is not a problem..."

Madam Qin looked at the Xue Household's eldest elder and others, and solemnly gave them her instructions.

"Good!!"

All the Xue Household executives present nodded quickly, and then they turned their attention back to Lu Qing'an.

Their eyes were filled with longing.

That's incredible!!

"Eternal Night Demon Emperor, we apologize for our previous suspicions!" At this moment, some high-ranking members of the Xue Household quickly came out and bowed in apology.

It was the Xue Household's high-ranking member who had previously spoken up for those two.

Are they truly apologetic?

Somewhat, but mostly they were afraid the Eternal Night Demon Emperor would kill them!!

The eldest elder of the Xue Household also bowed slightly. "I recognized you just now. If my words offended you, I apologize!"

Lu Qing'an glanced at the group and casually waved his hand, saying, "We're all on the same side, no need for such formalities."

Upon hearing this, everyone present paused for a moment, then their eyes lit up.

One of our own?!

They quickly looked at Xue Tianfei.

This is...

Xue Tianfei was also taken aback by Lu Qing'an's words. After a moment of stunned silence, she could no longer suppress the urge to smile.

We're on the same side!

Could it be that he has already...? What happened?!

Why is my heart beating so fast?!

Lu Qing'an just made a casual remark. What he meant was that everyone was on the same side, and he wasn't angry. But seeing how things were going, he felt helpless to change things, especially when he saw Xue Tianfei looking at him with eyes full of love. He actually felt a little embarrassed.

"Alright, I've taken care of things for you, it's time to go back." Lu Qing'an looked at Xue Tianfei, then beckoned to his daughter.

"Miaomiao, let's go back."

"Huh? Isn't Aunt Xue coming back with us?" From beginning to end, Lu Miaomiao watched the show quietly from the sidelines, and even took out the few remaining popcorns to eat.

A normal child would be uncomfortable to see their father kill someone like that, but Lu Miaomiao wasn't; instead, she seemed to enjoy it.

Lu Qing'an looked at Xue Tianfei and said, "Come back after you've finished dealing with your business."

"Senior, farewell."

"Alright, remember to visit this old lady often when you have time. Also, if you ever need our chamber of commerce, just give the word. Treat it like your own chamber of commerce!" Madam Qin nodded with a smile.

And so, Lu Qing'an led Lu Miaomiao into the void and disappeared.

Xue Tianfei waved to the two of them, and only after they had completely left did she turn around and look at her mother.

"Mom, did you hear that? He said we're all family! Don't you think he means he considers me one of his own?"

Xue Tianfei smiled and sent a telepathic message to her mother.

"Well, how should I put it? Based on my understanding of him..." Madam Qin looked at her daughter's infatuated expression and was about to explain Lu Qing'an's intentions, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"That should be true..."

Let me treat my daughter to this little treat.

In any case, she could definitely sense that Lu Qing'an's attitude towards her daughter was not the same as before!

Lu Qing'an might actually become her son-in-law!
