“Please wait a moment; I’ll go and announce your arrival.”

The guards all became respectful. Having learned the identity of Su Changkong, one of the guards immediately responded and entered the grand hall to make the announcement.

“Mr. Blade, please follow me.”

Shortly after, the guard returned and invited Su Changkong inside.

Su Changkong nodded and followed the guard into a grand hall.

Inside the grand hall, a green-robed elder was waiting.

Upon seeing Su Changkong, the elder respectfully said, “Are you Mr. Dao Wufeng? I am Zhao Feng, a manager from the Demon Suppressing Department.”

Zhao Feng, the green-robed elder, held a not insignificant position in the Demon Suppressing Department, responsible for assisting the Lord with various intricate matters. Despite this, he was exceedingly respectful upon meeting Su Changkong.

The reason was Zhao Feng knew precisely who this Dao Wufeng before him was – he was informed by Duanmu Tao that Dao Wufeng had not only slain Qi Gang but also struck down the Puppet Star Sect Master, Xie Kui, in battle!

This was a pseudo-Divine Skill Grandmaster who had trained his Martial Arts to the level of “pseudo divine skills”. In the future, he might even have the opportunity to become a Martial Saint, thus Zhao Feng could not treat him with anything less than extreme caution.

“Hmm, Director Zhao, I came to see Lord Duanmu. Is he not here?” Su Changkong asked with a nod, as he was supposed to meet with Duanmu Tao, not Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng truthfully replied, “Indeed, he’s not here… Two days ago, the Lord and the Deputy Lord had to leave on business and might not return for a few days. Mr. Blade, you may wish to stay for a short time until they’re back.”

“Hmm? Duanmu Tao and Lian Tianlu have both left? Has something happened?”

Su Changkong couldn’t help but express surprise, inquiring out of curiosity.

It takes a significant event to warrant the intervention of the two top experts from the Demon Suppressing Department, last time it was someone of the Evil Sect Master caliber like Xie Kui that justified both of their involvement. What level of incident has the Demon Suppressing Department encountered this time?

“This Dao Wufeng is a pseudo-Divine Skill Grandmaster, and it seems he has a grudge with the Life Extinguishing Association…” Zhao Feng hesitated slightly. Such information should not be casually divulged to outsiders, but considering the identity and deeds of the person in question, he had a thought. This man had a grievance with the Life Extinguishing Association; telling him might not be amiss.

In fact, it might even prove helpful!

With this in mind, Zhao Feng decided not to withhold the information: “A few days ago, He Yuchen, an Elder of the Life Extinguishing Association, appeared on Ambush Elephant Mountain in Great Flood State. Our Demon Suppressing Department suffered considerable losses of experts, and upon receiving this news, both the Lord and the Deputy Lord went there to investigate the situation.”

“The Elder He Yuchen of the Life Extinguishing Association?” Su Changkong was undeniably taken aback by this revelation.

The Elders of the Life Extinguishing Association were all very powerful. Previously, Su Changkong had encountered Tan You, and only by taking advantage of his complacency managed to escape by using “Flying Arrow” techniques.

Such top-tier Monster Warriors indeed required someone like Duanmu Tao to take action personally.

“They left two days ago? I’m not doing anything else…might as well take a look.”

After a brief contemplation, Su Changkong made up his mind.

Instead of waiting around here, he’d rather go to Ambush Elephant Mountain and assess the situation for himself.

Su Changkong and the Life Extinguishing Association were already mortal enemies, from the time he made an enemy of the Monster Warrior Wind Sun Moon to the assassination attempt by Tan You. This had instilled in Su Changkong a profound desire to eliminate members of the Life Extinguishing Association!

Visiting Ambush Elephant Mountain in Great Flood State would be worthwhile if he could conveniently eliminate He Yuchen and, at the very least, obtain a high-level Demon Monster Crystal Core.

If He Yuchen was on par with Tan You, even if stronger, it likely wouldn’t be by much, and Su Changkong was confident he could deal with him. Besides, even if it turned out to be dangerous, Su Changkong was proficient in Deer-playing Body Techniques and Crane Play Light Skill, ensuring that he would have no problem making an escape!
