Chapter 196: The Su Family's Invitation

Outside the Dragon Group's special interrogation room.

Su Yi and Qin Wu sat in front of a table looking cautious; before them was an old man with white hair and beard.

"Have the results of the interrogation come out?" the old man asked indifferently.

"Although the interrogation is not yet fully complete, we have already obtained most of the information," Su Yi replied respectfully.

In front of this old man, Su Yi could not help but be respectful, because this old man was the founder of the Dragon Group, honored by everyone in the Dragon Group as Long Lao—Long Jingtian. Although the old man looked very peaceful, and the aura on his body was no different from an ordinary old man, no one dared to underestimate him.

Ten years ago, the most famous genius of the Vatican, the First Holy Knight, came to Huaxia and defeated several veteran Innate Experts in one go, and finally even challenged Long Jingtian by name. As a result, Long Jingtian struck him from the mountaintop with a palm from afar, beating him into a Near Death state while he was at the foot of the mountain. If it hadn't been for the previous Pope going all out at that time, this young genius would likely have remained at the foot of the mountain forever. Of course, the previous Pope who rescued the First Holy Knight did not have it easy either; after returning to the Vatican, he had to enter a death-seclusion to recuperate due to his severe injuries, and he has yet to emerge, with no one knowing if he is alive or dead.

"Oh, and what is the situation?" Long Jingtian asked softly.

"According to the intelligence we have collected so far, these people all come from an organization called Hachibi, and their purpose in coming to Huaxia is to collect the sacrifices needed for the revival of what they call their god!" Su Yi said.

"Hachibi, huh. I didn't expect that after lying dormant for so many years, this organization would become active in the shadows again!" Long Jingtian sighed and said gloomily.

"Long Lao, have you heard of this organization?" Su Yi asked.

"That's right. During the war back then, they were one of the biggest pro-war factions, and they had countless experts. If it weren't for the hidden experts of the Ji Family stepping in, our battle would have become extremely difficult. And their purpose for joining the war was to gather enough blood-food for their so-called god—Hachibi—to awaken!" Long Jingtian sighed and said.

"Hachibi, could it be the Hachibi Snake?" Su Yi felt a slight shock. "Long Lao, how strong is this Hachibi?"

"Hachibi? To be honest, I don't know either, because for these hundreds of years, it has never awakened. I once saw records about the Hachibi Snake in some ancient books; it once invaded Huaxia during the Datang period, but it ran into the Immortal Master Yuan Tiangang and was almost killed as a result. After fleeing back, it has been in a deep sleep ever since. My preliminary estimate is that Hachibi's strength is at least above the Innate level!"

"Above the Innate level?" Su Yi was greatly shocked. "It has been unknown how many years since an expert above the Innate level has appeared. If the Hachibi Snake really revives, we are likely to have big trouble!"

"Rest assured, vast Huaxia is full of hidden talents, just like in that war back then, where countless powerhouses emerged. If the Hachibi Snake really appears again, perhaps our Huaxia will see another Immortal Master like Yuan Tiangang appear!" Long Jingtian said. "I am heading back now; the following matters are left to you!"

"Yes, Long Lao!" Su Yi and Qin Wu both stood up at the same time, watching the old man leave.

In Lingyun's home, Lingyun placed a plate of fruit on the table, then looked at Su Wanyue sitting before him and said: "Wanyue, how do you have time to come here? Is there something the matter?"

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing the matter?" Hearing Lingyun's words, Su Wanyue could not help but pout.

"That's not what I meant, but aren't you currently in the Nirvana Stage of your cultivation technique? This period is when you are at your weakest, so how could you just run out so casually? Have you forgotten what happened last time at Mount Tai?" Lingyun reminded her.

"Don't worry, my father has Zhou Lao protecting me in the shadows, and besides, we are in Beijing now, so my personal safety is sufficiently guaranteed!" Su Wanyue said with a smile. "Moreover, my Nirvana has reached the final stage, and my strength is gradually recovering. It won't be long before I can advance to the Earth Tier!"

Lingyun's Divine Sense swept out, and sure enough, he discovered a figure hiding in a secret corner outside the room, with strength around the Earth Realm Mid-Stage; it was likely the Zhou Lao that Su Wanyue mentioned.

"By the way, I heard that Chen Jing has been staying here with you recently?" Su Wanyue suddenly said.

Lingyun was slightly startled, then nodded: "That's right, this girl is currently breaking her cultivation to rebuild it, and she doesn't have anyone around her, so I let her stay here for a while to ensure her safety."

"Sigh, being able to stay here with you is truly an enviable thing!" Su Wanyue said gloomily. "You must have set up a Spirit Gathering Array in this room, otherwise the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi inside this room couldn't be so dense!"

"It's just a small Array. If you want, I can also help you make a small, portable Spirit Gathering Array," Lingyun said. "Now, can you tell me what you came here to see me about?"

"Mm, I came this time to represent our Su Family and invite you to be a guest at our home!" Su Wanyue said slowly.

"Represent the Su Family? Invite me to be a guest?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, this matter concerns my fourth uncle. The place where my fourth uncle Su Ye was located was first discovered by you; my father wants to talk to you to see if we can obtain more information from it!" Su Wanyue said.

"Since this matter is related to me, then I will go over there at that time!" Lingyun nodded.

"Tomorrow would be best. My second uncle, who serves in the Dragon Group, will also be back then. We might be able to get more information from him!" Mentioning her second uncle, Su Wanyue's tone was filled with some pride.

"Your second uncle, the Dragon Group? Hmm? Your second uncle, could his name be Su Yi?" Lingyun suddenly asked.

"My second uncle is indeed named Su Yi. Wait, no, Lingyun, how do you know my second uncle's name?" Su Wanyue asked with some curiosity.

"It's nothing, I just went to help the Dragon Group with a small favor yesterday with Chen Jing, and one of their leaders is named Su Yi. I just felt he was somewhat similar to you, I didn't expect him to be your second uncle!" Lingyun explained.

"You went to help the Dragon Group with Chen Jing and the others?" Su Wanyue raised an eyebrow, then asked with interest. "What exactly happened for the Dragon Group to ask you for help?"

Looking at Su Wanyue's curious-baby expression, Lingyun smiled, then told her what happened yesterday.

"Those damned Ninjas, actually running to our country again. For guys like this who are always thinking about destruction, we should just wipe them all out!" After hearing Lingyun's account, Su Wanyue waved her small fist angrily.

"Don't worry, no matter what, this is my motherland. If any blind guys run into my hands, I naturally won't let them have an easy time!" Lingyun said with a smile.

After chatting with Lingyun for a while longer, Su Wanyue left, seemingly to prepare for Lingyun's visit tomorrow. Lingyun just smiled at this, then urged her to be careful on the road before seeing her out of the house.
