At this ti, Mu Jinyu, who was located in the suburbs of the city, had no idea about the various actions taken by Le Le from Paradise Lost abroad.
After the high monk Buke Buzha left, he imdiately instructed the remaining nine Star Lords of the Twenty-Eight Constellations to bury the villagers on the spot.
Given the current situation, it was impossible for them to slowly investigate whether there were any other relatives of the villagers abroad and notify them to co back and manage the funerals.
Everything had to be simplified.
The value of human life had beco truly insignificant now.
As for Chen Sheng and the other two Star Lords who sacrificed their lives in this battle, since they were well-known and it was known what relatives they had, it was naturally inappropriate to bury their bodies on the spot. Instead, they were carried on the back, placed in a vehicle outside, and sent back to their families.
Whether their families were still alive during this period was a matter of luck.
Otherwise, they could only help bury the entire family neatly together.
More than half an hour later.
The vehicle returned to the headquarters of Dragon King Hall.
Mu Jinyu asked Gao Yu to find soone to send the bodies of Chen Sheng and the other two back to their hos, then he went to find Gu Xiyan and the others.
Upon arriving at Mu Hongchen's office.
Mu Jinyu was too lazy to knock on the door and deal with the formalities, instead, he turned the doorknob, opened the door, and walked in.
Mu Hongchen was sitting at the computer desk, her hands continuously typing on the keyboard. The phone would ring from ti to ti, and then she would stop her typing to answer the call. After quickly acknowledging with a few hums, she would either hang up and dial soone else, or jot down important matters in a notebook, or continue typing on the keyboard.
She was extrely busy!
An unprecedented level of busyness.
After all, her phone wasn't sothing just anyone could get through to. Those who could call without being blocked were clearly people of significant status and position.
In the past, so people couldn't even have a conversation with Mu Hongchen, but in these dark and turbulent tis, her status had risen considerably. After all, she controlled the Gold Inlaid Jade Magic Artifact that could resist demon erosion.
However, despite this, Mu Hongchen did not dare to beco arrogant and complacent, as the people who called her were still individuals she couldn't afford to offend. If she appeared too self-important, it would be easy for them to choose mutual destruction and cut off the various supplies of Dragon King Hall.
As for Su Zijin and Gu Xiyan, they were also not idle and were working in the office.
Of course, they weren't dealing with Jinyu Group's affairs—Jinyu Group had already been pushed to the back of their mind. The most urgent priority was to ensure the safety of their relatives and friends.
They were trying to contact these people, and then send them the defective products that could only resist one or two attacks.
These Gold Inlaid Jade Magical Instrunts were no longer in high demand within Dragon King Hall, even becoming sowhat dispensable, which is why they didn't need Mu Jinyu's approval and didn't trouble him, able to make decisions on their own.
Of course, they couldn't take too many either.
The five busy won, upon hearing the door open, all looked up towards the door while continuing their tasks.
Seeing Mu Jinyu return, they were all excited. Su Zijin and the other three won imdiately put down what they were doing, stood up, and walked toward him.
While Mu Hongchen, after calling out "Dragon Master," didn't stop her work but continued to type on the keyboard.
"Jinyu, you're finally back? Are you alright?"
As Gu Xiyan walked towards Mu Jinyu, her eyes showed concern as she sized him up and asked caringly.
"It's fine, everything went smoothly," said Mu Jinyu, nodding his head and speaking softly.
The Ghost-Faced Demon that he had encountered on this expedition was far from simple, and the process could not be described as smooth, especially since three of the Star Lords had died. But he didn't want to worry them too much, so naturally, he wouldn't describe the situation as too serious.
After exchanging a few simple greetings with them, Mu Jinyu, carrying the golden briefcase, walked over to Mu Hongchen and watched as she input so data, saying, "Aunt Mu, I've thankfully completed the mission and brought back the disruptive Ghost-Faced Demon."
"Dragon Master, you shouldn't speak to like that," Mu Hongchen, having just finished handling her tasks, said with a wry smile upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words.
"There are no outsiders here, we're all family, there's no need to be so formal," Mu Jinyu replied with a smile, not taking the comnt seriously.
Seeing this, Mu Hongchen gave a wry smile and didn't say anything more.
She thought to herself how the Dragon King, after surviving a terrifying ordeal in the realm of life and death, had matured a lot. All the resentnt and hostility he once held had dissipated.
He had beco much kinder.
In the past, Mu Jinyu wouldn't even give her a second glance, let alone call her 'aunt'.
"I'll call soone to take this to the underground storage room," she said, thinking to herself.
With a wary and taboo look, Mu Hongchen took the golden briefcase that Mu Jinyu handed her, weighing it carefully before she began to talk with Mu Jinyu and took out her mobile phone to scroll through her contact list, then she called soone over.
Soon after, a mber of the Dragon King Hall knocked on the door, and upon Mu Hongchen's invitation to enter, he ca in.
"Dragon Master, Lord Vermilion Bird," he greeted.
Seeing Mu Jinyu there, he first called out to the Dragon Master, then greeted Mu Hongchen, asking, "Lord Vermilion Bird called over, is there any task to be carried out?"
Mu Jinyu was taken aback.
Since when had Mu Hongchen beco Lord Vermilion Bird?
Then he rembered sothing Mu Hongchen had told him previously: During his coma, the positions within the Dragon King Hall were reorganized, and Mu Hongchen was no longer Beidou Yuheng but had beco the Southern Vermilion Suzaku.
Thinking of this, Mu Jinyu also thought about the Twenty-Eight Constellation Lords, who suffered heavy casualties. There were originally twenty-eight of them, but now only nine remained.
Among those he knew best, Chen Sheng, who had been the first to challenge him when he ca to the Dragon King Hall, did not die in the dark unrest but fell at the hands of the Ghost-Faced Demon.
And of Xiang Mantang's two trusted followers, Liu i and Gao Yu, Liu i was dead, leaving only Gao Yu behind.
He suddenly felt a sense of transience and change.
It seed unlikely that the twenty-eight Star Lords could be replenished to their full number again, and it might be ti to change the way they were addressed.
Mu Hongchen didn't share the sa reflections as Mu Jinyu; taking the golden briefcase that was placed aside, she instructed, "The Ghost-Faced Demon that the Dragon King just caught in the suburbs is in here. Take it to the underground storage room."
"Yes," the man replied.
After hearing what Mu Hongchen said, he glanced at the golden briefcase in her hand with a taboo look but still approached and took it.
Then he took his leave and headed towards the underground storage room.
After he left, Mu Jinyu thought about the ideas he had during the process of capturing and transferring the Ghost-Faced Demon and then said to Mu Hongchen, "Aunt Mu, later contact soone to make a few hundred sets of gloves woven from gold thread. It will be safer when dealing with demons. Also, look into getting so golden firearms..."
"Golden Gloves, golden firearms, right? Okay, I've noted it down. Anything else you'd like to suggest?" Mu Hongchen listened to Mu Jinyu's words, moved her mouse to open a folder, and began to type, recording what Mu Jinyu had said.
