Chapter 1567

"Mulong Jie, how is the investigation of that matter going?" Mulong Tian's gloomy voice sounded, echoing deep in Mulong Jie's soul. Mulong Jie lifted his head, meeting Mulong Tian's gloomy and sharp eyes, and his body involuntarily trembled.

Mulong Jie took a deep breath and said: "Reporting to the Family Head, this matter is not yet settled, but I am ninety percent certain that the Longshe Shan within the Mangshan Mountain Range is closely connected to the Longshe Shan of that world; between them, there must be some ulterior purpose."

"This time, I cannot bring people into Longshe Shan, nor can I confirm whether those inside are from that world, but one thing is certain: inside, there is definitely the person we are looking for."

I also sent people to investigate; within the Mulong family's territory, people from that world have indeed appeared, although they are dead, we cannot find out how they came to this world.

My people found a trace of a person—the White Deer King, the demon beast king of that world, appeared in the Lingzhou region; his subsequent whereabouts are unknown, but one thing is certain: that world is connected to Tianwai.

Mulong Tian heard this bad news; in fact, he himself leaned toward this view: that world has remained quiet all these years, with no one venturing into the void, and it has been very peaceful, unlike its usual style.

That world has grown stronger, drawing unknown heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, its power many times greater than before, yet no one has left that world—this itself is strange. Mulong Tian has always monitored that world, wanting to enter it and wipe out its cultivators.

That is the Mulong family's breeding ground; other forces' control over it is not obvious. The Mulong family invested heavily, and when it was their turn to take control, an accident occurred, so he naturally would not give up.

At the very least, now, at this moment, we cannot give up.

"Mulong Jie, if I let you lead people into that world, do you dare?" Mulong Tian stared at Mulong Jie; this is his opportunity, after two consecutive failures that cost the Mulong family its Grand Elder and Second Elder, causing heavy losses to the family.

Mulong Jie is unforgivable, but killing him would be useless; it would only increase the family's loss, better to let him redeem himself through merit.

Moreover, in those two failures, Mulong Jie also bore hardship, bringing back other elders and disciples of the family; Mulong Tian saw all this, naturally knowing his hardship, and did not wish… for him to die just like that.

That world needs someone to go in and investigate, also needs someone… to go confirm; the existence of Chen Chuyang and others is too troublesome, we must send people in to kill them, so that the world returns once again under their control.

The deceased of the Mulong family also need to be mourned; Mulong Tian can no longer bear this, he clearly knows that if we let them continue to grow, sooner or later it will affect the Mulong family's future.

Family Head, I

Mulong Jie hesitated; he naturally knew the danger of that world, if he entered, he would very likely… die.

That world is different from Cangzhou and Lingzhou; once danger is detected, one must leave immediately.

If one really goes in, wanting to leave is not that easy; either complete the mission, kill Chen Chuyang and wipe out the internal rebels, or die inside.

There is no third option; that world is no longer what it once was. Mulong Jie knows very well that anyone who enters that world dies—his own Mulong family members, other forces as well; in recent years, no one has sent people in.

Without a clear investigation, it is impossible to send people in.

"You need to think this through, Mulong Jie; after two consecutive mission failures that caused the deaths of the Grand Elder and Second Elder, the other elders in the clan have strong opinions against you, they all suspect you of betraying the family; otherwise, why would you always come back alive each time?"

"This time, if you do not go to that world, your situation will be very dangerous."

"The cultivators of that world are a grave threat to our Mulong family; we must strangle them in the cradle before they grow."

Mulong Tian patted his shoulder and said earnestly.

This task is none other than his.

Mulong Tian needs to make this clear to him, lest he have other thoughts.

Mulong Jie fell silent, standing in place pondering; Mulong Tian's words are not without reason—he has come back alive both times, which indeed raises suspicion; although he feels blameless, others do not see it that way.

The Mulong family is large, its interests complex; it appears monolithic, but in reality it is just that.

If true interest conflicts arise, those clansmen will not let him off.

This time, too, it is because of that; his existence affects others' interests, and those elders naturally want to punish him.

"Once the task is accomplished, you will have proven your loyalty, and the other elders will have nothing to say, Mulong Jie." Mulong Tian stared at Mulong Jie; this task is none other than his.

He had no chance to refuse.

"I will obey, sir." Mulong Jie knew he could not shirk; this task could only be done by him.

"Good, wait until you find suitable people; I will send a few to accompany you, we must eliminate Chen Chuyang." Mulong Tian nodded satisfactorily; he had already planned all this, arranged the personnel, only needing his nod.

"We will depart in three days, all right?"

"All right." Mulong Jie could not resist, nor dare to refuse.

He could only nod, accepting this mission.

"Good, get ready; three days from now, whenever you depart, the Faction has already arranged everything, they will send you into that world; one point must be made clear: your strength will also be suppressed, and the Faction will place some measures on you to weaken the suppression."

"Approximately, your strength will be suppressed by thirty percent; the higher your cultivation, the greater the suppression; I hope you understand this."

Over these years, the Mulong family has also been researching that world, studying the heavenly and earthly suppression, and naturally they have made a breakthrough.

They can send stronger people in; in terms of strength, at most it will be suppressed by thirty percent, and it cannot be increased.

"Yes, Family Head." Mulong Jie had long known about that world, so he had no thoughts of resistance.

"Go, prepare well; this time, as the Family Head, I hope you succeed." Mulong Tian watched Mulong Jie leave, his gaze turning cold, he turned around, and his face quickly grew grim.

Having returned to that seat and sat down, Mulong Tian turned back: "Long'er, do you think Mulong Jie can succeed this time?"

"That world is becoming ever more mysterious; as a father, I can no longer see through that world, nor can I see through those people inside."

"But we cannot continue like this; that world truly needs to be dealt with; dragging it on brings us no benefit."

Mulong Wenlong stepped out and said coldly: "Father, that world is not easy to handle, especially that Chen Chuyang, who is very troublesome; I fear that this time Elder Mulong Jie may meet with misfortune."
