Chapter 366: Dispute

Looking at the now-vanished Demon-Suppressing Tower, Nangong Nayue let out a light breath: "Regardless, this matter has finally reached a relatively good conclusion."

"Lingyun, who is she?" Liuli's gaze fell upon Luo Yexi.

She sensed an aura from Luo Yexi that was extremely similar to Lingyun's, which was enough to show that this girl had a deep connection with Lingyun. Especially the Nine Suns Heavenly Sword in her hand, which was Lingyun's former sword; it was absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to possess this blade.

"I am Master's disciple. This big sister, what is your relationship with my Master?" Luo Yexi put away her Nine Suns Heavenly Sword.

"Lingyun, when did you take on a disciple?" Liuli looked at Lingyun with a face full of surprise.

She had spent a long time with Lingyun; they were partners back in the Main God Space, until later, when the Main God, that Big Egg, went to war with numerous World Consciousnesses, forcing the two of them to separate. During that time, she had never seen Lingyun reveal even the slightest bit of information about taking on a disciple.

"Well, quite a few things happened during this period, and Ye Xi can be considered my first disciple." Lingyun smiled and lightly changed the subject.

"By the way, Lingyun, where exactly did Aye go? The intelligence network of the Itogami Island high-ups is very powerful. If they find Aye first, it will be troublesome." Nangong Nayue, who was beside Lingyun, spoke up.

"Rest assured, no matter how powerful the intelligence network of the Itogami Island high-ups is, as long as their network cannot break through this world, they won't be able to find the trail of Xiandumu Aye," Lingyun said with an indifferent expression.

"Break through this world?" Nangong Nayue was startled. "Do you mean that Aye is no longer in this world?"

"That's right, she should have arrived at that place by now. However, given her temperament, she will inevitably have to suffer some hardships there." Lingyun nodded.

"Then, will she be alright?" Nangong Nayue asked with some nervousness.

"I have already had someone look after her in secret, so don't worry. Although the people in that place might be a bit unconventional, there are no bad people," Lingyun comforted her.

"Is that so? Very well, perhaps leaving here is the best choice for Aye, it's just hard on that child Youma," Nangong Nayue said.

"With Xiao Gucheng there, she should be able to move on from this matter very quickly. Moreover, there are several quite formidable life mentors in that place who can guide the somewhat extreme thinking of Xiandumu Aye. If Xiandumu Aye returns to this world again, I estimate that those so-called high-ups on Itogami Island will no longer be able to do anything to her," Lingyun said. "For now, let's head back. I have set up an Array on this island, and in a while, this place will once again submerge into the interdimensional space."

Just as Lingyun and the others returned to the Villa, Lingqi, who was in a standoff with Xian Guyong, also received Lingyun's message. She smiled slightly at Xian Guyong, and then her body instantly sank into the shadow beneath her feet.

Seeing Lingqi leave, Xian Guyong's expression also relaxed slightly; she did not want to casually start a war with this mysterious visitor without knowing the other party's bottom line.

Just at this moment, a butterfly drifted down from the sky and landed on her finger.

Analyzing the information conveyed by this Shikigami, Xian Guyong frowned slightly, then hurriedly left the place.

In a secret stronghold of the Lion King Organization on Itogami Island, Xian Guyong's figure slowly emerged.

Previously, only the Three Sages of the Lion King Organization had gathered here, but now that one of the Three Sages had been crippled by Lingyun, there were only two people here.

"Where are the others?" Xian Guyong looked at An Bainai beside her.

"They should be here soon!" An Bainai said. "It's just that this time, things are probably not that simple."

"They're here," Xian Guyong suddenly said.

Outside the door, several Shikigami suddenly appeared. Of course, these were not ordinary Shikigami; they each represented a high-ranking and powerful figure within the Lion King Organization. Among these Shikigami, the most eye-catching was a black cat. The origin of this black cat was also extraordinary; he was the master of Himeragi Yukina and Kirasaka Sayaka—Yuantang Yuan. Of course, the true bodies of these people could not possibly appear on Itogami Island; allowing these Shikigami to enter was already the greatest concession Itogami Island could make. If their true bodies arrived, it would likely trigger an alert across the entire Itogami Island.

"Now that everyone has arrived, the meeting can begin," Xian Guyong sat down and said.

"This time, the unauthorized actions of the militant faction have brought huge losses to our Lion King Organization," a fat cat Shikigami said. "We were directly crippled by one-third of our elites, and even lost one of the Three Sages and a large amount of supplies. This is the strength we have accumulated over many years, just thrown away on a ridiculous experiment material collection operation. I absolutely do not support the next course of action!"

"That's right, the other party's current strength has far exceeded our estimates, not to mention that the Void Witch has now escaped. If we want to move against them, the difficulty will increase greatly," another butterfly Shikigami said.

"We are the Lion King Organization, and the other party is just a Vampire of unknown origin. Now that he has become our mortal enemy, if we don't destroy him while we can, he will definitely be a disaster for the Lion King Organization once he grows up," a Tengu Shikigami said.

"The last person who said that has already become a cripple, don't you know?" A Shikigami immediately retorted. "Do you think our Lion King Organization can withstand this kind of loss again?"

"The opposing situation has already formed; it is meaningless for us to argue here now," a fox Shikigami said.

"Fox, among us, you have the most schemes. What are your thoughts?" the Tengu Shikigami asked.

"The Lion King Organization is now severely damaged, and going head-to-head with that person is definitely an unwise approach. But why must we confront him directly? Don't forget, on this island, there exists the most powerful Vampire!"

"You mean to let the Fourth Progenitor confront that Vampire?" The butterfly Shikigami's tone was somewhat hesitant, yet also held a trace of temptation. "But, can that really be done? Don't forget, the Fourth Progenitor is his student!"

"The current Fourth Progenitor is just a high school student. As long as we apply a little trick, this is not a difficult matter!" A sinister smile appeared on the fox Shikigami's face.

With a "bang," the fox Shikigami was directly swatted to the ground by the black cat's paw.

"Enough, where does this approach of yours put my student? Old fox, don't think I dare not touch you. I'm telling you, if you dare to have any designs on my student, I will peel that fox skin of yours off!"

The black cat's paw pressed onto the fox Shikigami's head, the fur on its body standing on end, revealing a posture that could go berserk at any moment.

"Yuantang Yuan, you dare?" The fox Shikigami struggled hard, but could not break free from under the black cat's paw.

"I'm telling you all, you had better put these thoughts away, unless you want to watch the Fourth Progenitor, the Void Witch, and that Vampire of unknown origin join forces to kill their way to the headquarters of the Lion King Organization!" The black cat released its paw and left the conference room without looking back.

Watching the black cat's retreating back, Xian Guyong and An Bainai looked at each other and both sighed slightly.
