And now, Cangwen Yu mentioned that the identity of his friend was no ordinary one, and he was going to take action against the Life Extinguishing Association!

“The Life Extinguishing Association has risen in the past century as a force of Monster Warriors, a bunch of extremely vicious and evil people. My friend is from the Demon Suppressing Department, and he has discovered one of their branches, as well as a heavyweight figure from the Life Extinguishing Association. He is preparing to take down this branch.”

Cangwen Yu revealed some news.

“A person from the Demon Suppressing Department? Is he going to make a move on a branch of the Life Extinguishing Association?”

Su Changkong was surprised.

The Demon Suppressing Department served the Great Flame Empire by dealing with Demon Monsters and Monster Warriors. Now, a master from the Demon Suppressing Department was about to move against a branch of the Life Extinguishing Association!

This must not be the branch that Su Changkong had discovered earlier, which was relatively small and would not require assistance from other masters from the Demon Suppressing Department.

Furthermore, after Su Changkong had slain Wind Sun Moon, the other Monster Warriors of that branch must have realized that their location had been exposed and the place was probably already deserted.

Su Changkong expressed his doubts, “If he is from the Demon Suppressing Department, why does he need to resort to outsiders?”

This was what puzzled Su Changkong. The Demon Suppressing Department, being the Great Flame Empire’s department for handling Demon Monsters, certainly was a gathering of experts. Yet, the person from that department wanted to invite martial artists from the Martial World to assist.

He not only approached Cangwen Yu but also wanted to recruit others, which was why he met with Su Changkong in person and invited him to join the mission.

Cangwen Yu sighed, “Because this is a personal matter for my friend… Moreover, the Demon Suppressing Department doesn’t want to wage direct war against the Life Extinguishing Association, so my friend has to take matters into his own hands.”

“The Demon Suppressing Department doesn’t want to start a war with the Life Extinguishing Association?”

Upon hearing this, Su Changkong was slightly surprised, but he also understood.

The Life Extinguishing Association undoubtedly had powerful strength, with an unknown number of Monster Warriors gathered within. If a full-scale war with the Life Extinguishing Association were to commence, its members spread throughout the territory of the Great Flame Empire would wreak havoc, and the resulting damage was unimaginable.

Therefore, the Demon Suppressing Department only hunted unorganized, powerless Demon Monsters, maintaining a balance.

Cangwen Yu’s friend also held a high position within the Demon Suppressing Department, but as he intended to take action against a branch of the Life Extinguishing Association, the headquarters would not support him—this was his private affair.

As for why that master from the Demon Suppressing Department still wished to utilize any available forces to make a move against the Life Extinguishing Association despite the lack of support from his own higher-ups, that was beyond Su Changkong’s knowledge.

Cangwen Yu said earnestly, “Brother Blade, the Life Extinguishing Association poses a great threat, slaying their members is like enacting justice on behalf of heaven! If you join this mission, I will offer you the high-tier Spirit Pill recipe with both hands!”

Su Changkong was undoubtedly tempted. He was in great need of the high-tier Spirit Pill recipe. Moreover, he didn’t have many Demon Monster Crystal Cores. By slaying Monster Warriors, not only could he obtain the Crystal Cores, but if they were at the Innate Level, he could also harvest Innate Qi!

Su Changkong inquired, “As for the Monster Warriors… as I know, each is seemingly immortal, masters of strange Demon Arts, and extraordinarily powerful. Does your friend have such capabilities to ambush a branch of the Life Extinguishing Association that is occupied by a large number of Monster Warriors by gathering a group of people?”

Previously, when Su Changkong discovered a branch of the Life Extinguishing Association, he did not dare to attack rashly. Instead, he waited for Wind Sun Moon to come out before intercepting him on the way. However, Cangwen Yu’s friend was preparing to directly annihilate a branch of the Life Extinguishing Association, which was a different level of difficulty.

Cangwen Yu confidently said, “Rest assured, Brother Blade, my friend… is a super master who can rank within the top three of the Demon Suppressing Department. Having reached the realm of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and Five Qi towards the Yuan for many years, his status and connections are vast. With his network, those he has invited to support the cause are all top-notch experts!”

“A Five-Qi Grandmaster?” Su Changkong couldn’t help but be taken aback.

A Five-Qi Grandmaster was a level just below Martial Saint, capable of dominating a region and establishing a sect.

While Three Flowers Gathering at the Top could still be achieved through sheer resources, a Five-Qi Grandmaster required innate talent and perception.

One threshold to becoming a Five-Qi Grandmaster was to comprehend the Intent Realm of Martial Arts such as Blade Intent, Sword Intent, Fist Intent, and reach the Sea of Consciousness at the spiritual level, integrating the Five Qi into it.

Therefore, every Five-Qi Grandmaster was a true dragon among people, with no weaklings among them. In their youth, they were all figures that shook the world and horrified the public!

No wonder Cangwen Yu’s friend was confident enough to make a move against the Life Extinguishing Association, with the Five-Qi Grandmaster being a pinnacle force just below the Martial Saint!

And that Five-Qi Grandmaster, through his own reputation and connections, had invited many other experts, Cangwen Yu included.

By participating in this operation, Su Changkong could indeed gain a lot if he managed to kill numerous Monster Warriors!

However, Su Changkong did not agree immediately but said, “I am indeed somewhat interested… but I am a man who talks only of interests. I don’t know that Five-Qi Grandmaster, and I can’t trust whether he will honor his promises. Therefore, I want to get the Pill Recipe first, verify it, and only then will I consider joining the operation.”

“This…” Cangwen Yu hesitated, as Su Changkong was asking them to prepay the reward!

“If not, then let’s forget it,” Su Changkong said calmly.

After pondering for a long while, although ’Dao Wufeng’ was mysterious and his fighting skills unseen, after meeting him in person, Cangwen Yu was certain that this man was definitely a force to be reckoned with.

The other party demanded an upfront payment before agreeing to participate.

“Dao Wufeng shouldn’t be the type to take payment and then slack off…”
