Chapter 20: The Shocked Company, the Difference Between Immortal Spirits and the Two Snakes

On the Company's side.

Although Zhao Guizhen's strength is mediocre, the incident he stirred up this time is truly too heinous.

It has been many years since an Outsider dared to act like this.

Even the people of the All-Sex, they have never deliberately committed such heinous acts against ordinary people.

This is also one of the reasons why the Company has been able to turn a blind eye.

Otherwise, given the current strength of the nation, it would actually not be difficult to truly clean up the All-Sex.

From this, one can see what kind of incident Zhao Guizhen has stirred up this time.

And the methods were so cruel.

"Seal it off. Dispatch Temporary Workers from two regions, and communicate with other departments to pull all surveillance footage. We must find the target."

Chairman Zhao said in a deep voice with a serious expression.

The other directors looked at each other and nodded one after another.

Just then, Chairman Zhao's phone rang, and everyone looked over.

Chairman Zhao picked up the phone, took a look, and then answered it.

"Dou Le!"

Chairman Zhao called out, and everyone was taken aback.

The person in charge of the East China region.

"Found him? Where? Has the person been caught?"

Chairman Zhao stood up abruptly, his tone rising by several notches.

"The Lu Family? I understand. I will send people, and I will also notify Elder Lu again."

After Chairman Zhao finished speaking, he hung up the phone, looking relieved.

"Just a short while ago, the culprit was discovered by the Temporary Worker in East China, but after engaging and wounding the culprit, the person escaped and is currently being pursued.

The location is roughly near that vacation villa outside the Lu Family's city."

"Chairman Zhao, then notify the Lu Family elder and have the Lu Family assist in catching the person. Didn't we already notify them about this matter before? There is no time to lose."

Bi Youlong said immediately.

"Mm."

Upon hearing this, Chairman Zhao picked up his phone and was about to dial when the phone rang again.

Chairman Zhao was startled and immediately answered.

"What? The person was caught at the Lu Family's place? Good, I will send people over immediately."

Chairman Zhao widened his eyes and spoke immediately to the other end of the line.

The conference room instantly became quiet.

Chairman Zhao hung up the phone, and it was clear to see that he was relieved.

"The person has been caught. The Lu Family notified us, and they actually ran into them themselves. But regardless, it's good that the person is caught."

"Let Dou Le take people over and bring the person back to the Company first," Bi Youlong said.

"Correct, bring the person back first."

"Hurry and handle this matter. The higher-ups have already issued inquiries about this, and we must provide an answer as soon as possible."

Chairman Zhao nodded upon hearing this and immediately contacted Dou Le by phone.

As for Dou Le, he had just contacted Xiao Zizai to continue the pursuit when he received Chairman Zhao's call. He then contacted Xiao Zizai again, telling him to head to the Lu Family's villa first, and subsequently notified the scattered Company personnel to converge toward the Lu Family's villa.

On the Lu Family's side.

Originally, it was thought that after the incident at noon and the matter with the Wang Family, the subsequent matches would be terminated.

But the situation was clearly not so; Lu Jin and the others were thinking of continuing the matches.

The reason, naturally, was the match between Zhang Lingyu and Lin Xuan.

After hearing this news from Lu Linglong, Lu Jin put aside the matter of Zhao Guizhen.

Even though he is well-informed, such talent as Zhang Lingyu's is rarely seen.

As for Lin Xuan, there is even less need to mention him.

That innate ability is ridiculous enough, but how are his other cultivation methods?

From the match with Wang Ai, one could see they were quite good, and one could see his cultivation of life and nature is very strong.

With Quanzhen and the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain as the two current giants of Daoism, Lu Jin, Lv Ci, Na Ruhu, Guan Shihua, and Feng Zhenghao were all very curious about the match between these talented juniors.

The other juniors, hearing that the afternoon matches would continue, also had their attention diverted.

But this time, when everyone gathered at the competition venue, many people focused their attention on Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan was still sitting with Lu Linglong and a group of friends.

Many people's eyes looked at Lin Xuan's arms.

Since it was exposed, Lin Xuan did not let Er She turn back into bracelets.

Bai She was very steady and was coiled around Lin Xuan's arm at this time, while Qing She was a bit restless and was coiled on Lin Xuan's shoulder, holding its head high and looking around.

It was clearly very curious about this kind of thing.

In the following matches, although many people were curious about Lin Xuan, not a single person challenged him.

They did not know what exactly was going on with Lin Xuan.

But everyone had seen the miserable state of Wang Bing.

Although they were grumbling in their hearts and unclear about the situation, no one wanted to test whether they were stronger than Wang Bing.

Lu Linglong and the others knew the reason, but none of them wanted to test Lin Xuan's methods either.

On the contrary, Zhang Lingyu's gaze was fixed on Qing Bai Er She from time to time.

"Daoist Lingyu need not look; I will not let them make a move."

Noticing Zhang Lingyu's gaze, Lin Xuan said.

As if his thoughts had been laid bare, Zhang Lingyu felt slightly embarrassed.

He had seen Qing She make a move earlier with his own eyes.

The Qi that erupted in that instant was very strong, not in the same order of magnitude as his own.

Although they were snakes, such terrifying Qi—without needing to do anything else, this Qi alone could crush most people.

Naturally, that included him.

So he had just been wondering how to spar with Lin Xuan; if this snake were to join in, the match would likely be meaningless.

Thinking this, he was then directly called out by Lin Xuan.

"Ahem, many thanks, Daoist. I am well aware that I am no match for this Snake Immortal."

"They have cultivated for over a thousand years; Daoist Lingyu does not need to compare yourself to them."

Over a thousand years?

Lin Xuan's casual remark left Zhang Lingyu and Lu Linglong and the others beside him dumbfounded.

So they really are Snake Immortals?

What is the concept of a snake that has lived for a thousand years, and has also cultivated for a thousand years?

Zhang Lingyu was shocked in his heart and was about to speak when he saw Qing She slither from his other shoulder to his left shoulder, tilting its head to look at Zhang Lingyu.

Zhang Lingyu:...

He then cupped his hands, "Greetings, Senior."

"You are quite interesting; you are the first to call me Senior."

The voice of a delicate young girl rang out from thin air.

The expressions of the group changed, and they all stared at Qing She in unison.

Lin Xuan raised his hand and tapped Qing She's head; Qing She shook its head, flicked its tongue, and obediently slithered onto Lin Xuan's arm, coiling into a bracelet.

It seemed to know that its sudden speech was a bit abrupt.

A Snake Immortal that can speak human language?

The group was startled once again.

Cang Long's eyes lit up.

"Big Brother, I previously heard that the Immortal Family worshipped by the Guan Family in the north can also speak. Who would have thought these two seniors could as well? Could it be that they are also of the Immortal Family?"

The curiosity on Cang Long's face could not be concealed at all.

"It's not quite the same."

Lin Xuan thought for a moment, then shook his head.

If one speaks of the time of existence, the Immortal Family worshipped by the Guan Family has actually been around longer.

It seems that Liu Kunsheng has existed since the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

However, Immortal Families of the Liu Kunsheng variety should all be existences similar to demon spirits.

They are fundamentally different from Qing Bai Er She.

Of course, perhaps there are also Immortal Families with physical bodies being worshipped, but Lin Xuan felt those were certainly far inferior to Qing Bai Er She.

After all, if there really were Immortal Families that had achieved human form, the Guan Family would not need to hide from the Wang Family.

"Lingyu, Xiaoxuan, no one is going up now; are you two not going up yet? Are you planning to wait until nightfall?"

Lu Jin's voice suddenly rang out.
