"If what you said is true, maybe next ti we can try our luck. In this world, the nature’s spiritual energy has beco increasingly scarce, and after reaching this realm, attempting another breakthrough becos even more difficult." Liu Hun could see that Old Ghost was not willing to talk about this matter yet, so Liu Hun didn’t force him.
If there was even a sliver of hope in this place, Liu Hun wouldn’t give up. However, leaving imdiately now was obviously an unlikely thing, so Liu Hun wasn’t in a hurry.
"In that case, I’ll head down first." Old Ghost put away the smile on his face and replied to Liu Hun sowhat gloomily.
Watching Old Ghost’s gradually receding figure, Liu Hun couldn’t help but murmur, "For Old Ghost to be so wary, this place truly must be sothing extraordinary..."
After speaking, Liu Hun temporarily put this matter aside, then returned to his room and picked up his phone. Just after he turned it on, Liu Hun saw countless ssages displayed on it.
Among them were ssages sent by Liu Hu, old man Liu, Liu Yun, and others. Liu Hun roughly skimd through these texts, finding that most of them were of no use, so he directly ignored them.
However, when he saw the last two ssages, his previously calm face beca sowhat cold, even filled with a murderous intent.
"The price you pay is the utter despair of the Dragon Sect! What a statent of despair, I’m curious to see how you intend to make despair!" Liu Hun tightly grasped his phone and spat out coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hun turned around, grabbed a coat from the wardrobe, threw it on, and walked out of the house.
For the past few days, Liu Hun had been diligently in secluded cultivation, so he didn’t have ti to deal with these things at all. After reading all the ssages just now, there were two concerning the Dragon Sect, one sent three days ago, whose main content was to inform Liu Hun that he would pay a price, and that price being the Dragon Sect.
The second ssage was sent just this morning, with no text, only a picture of Long Bing’er tied up and unconscious, looking rather pitiable in the photo.
Liu Hun didn’t know exactly what turmoil was happening with the Dragon Sect, but since he was a mber of it, had a previous conflict with the Liu Family in the park, and Long Bing’er had made a point to visit because of it, there was no way Liu Hun could sit by idly.
Frankly speaking, since joining the Dragon Sect until now, he hadn’t really done anything for it. Even the things he did in the City of Death were rely to solidify his own power, not out of consideration for the Dragon Sect; instead, it was his status that saved him from much trouble. Liu Hun also knew that if Long Bing’er hadn’t discreetly helped him with so issues, he would probably still be facing many troubles.
Now soone was causing trouble for the Dragon Sect and had even kidnapped Long Bing’er, a situation Liu Hun couldn’t ignore; especially since it seed to be directed at him.
"I’m curious to see who has the guts to court death here!" After getting in the car, Liu Hun started the engine and said coldly.
The Dragon Sect’s usual place of business wasn’t a secret. Anyone could find out with so minor investigation, so Liu Hun didn’t spend much ti before arriving at the headquarters of the Dragon Sect.
After parking the car, Liu Hun looked at the tall building in front of him without any expression on his face. At another ti, he might have expressed awe with a few words, but now he wasn’t in the mood.
Upon entering the lobby, a girl in formal attire imdiately approached Liu Hun with a smile, asking, "Sir, is there anything you need? Outsiders are not permitted inside if you have any issues, you can tell , maybe I can help."
"Long Bing’er isn’t here, who is the person in charge of the Dragon Sect?" Without hesitation, Liu Hun directly asked this question.
Hearing this, the girl was slightly stunned. She initially thought Liu Hun had co to the wrong place, but now that he had directly asked about the person in charge of the Dragon Sect, it startled her a bit.
This building officially bore the sign of a trading company, but in reality, it was the headquarters of the Dragon Sect. Regardless of the place in the world, whatever the matter, instructions were issued from here.
For the young man in front of her to articulate the real function of the skyscraper in one sentence, her deanor quickly beca serious. Recently, since the sudden disappearance of Long Bing’er, people who had old disputes with the Dragon Sect would occasionally co seeking trouble, so she instinctively thought Liu Hun was here to cause trouble as well.
"Sir, if you have anything, you can wait for our Sect Leader to return and tell her personally. We can’t handle these matters temporarily." The girl, her face instantaneously chilling, directly responded to Liu Hun.
"If your Sect Leader could co back, I wouldn’t be here!" Liu Hun didn’t understand why the girl treated him so rudely, but he wasn’t in a good mood either, replying directly; considering he was already a bit irritated today, it’s hard to bla him for reacting to even a small character addressing him like this.
"Sir..." As soon as the girl heard Liu Hun’s words, her smile vanished. Given that he knew their Sect Leader was missing, she was nine out of ten certain he was here to cause trouble.
"Oh, it seems like the rumors are true, your Sect Leader is really missing, huh? But still, shouldn’t you give an explanation for what the Dragon Sect did before?" As the girl’s words fell, several middle-aged n suddenly entered through the main door. Leading them was a young man about twenty-five or six years old, wearing sunglasses. The middle-aged n behind him were all in black suits, giving off a rather underworld-like aura.
However, as soon as the young man appeared, the face of the girl in front of Liu Hun changed slightly. Her brows furrowed, and at this mont, she ignored Liu Hun and quickly turned to make a call at the front desk.
"Tsk-tsk, it seems the Dragon Sect is really getting extravagant, even the office is this grand and modern now; but I wonder if the Sect Leader has been well recently. I’ve been holding on to that old grievance, and since I’ve nothing better to do, ca to Beijing to ask the Sect Leader about it," said the young man loudly, removing his sunglasses and surveying his surroundings with a leisurely interest.
Not long after his statent, a middle-aged man ca swiftly down from upstairs. He was simply dressed, with a standard haircut and an ordinary face, easily lost in a crowd. Yet as he appeared, so Dragon Sect mbers stood behind him, glaring angrily at the young man opposite them.
"Guo Wen, long ti no see, how have you been?" The young man asked with a smile upon spotting the middle-aged man across from him.
In response, the eyes of the man addressed as Guo Wen narrowed slightly, flickering with cold light. Finally, after a mont, he asked, "Liu Jun! What are you doing at the Dragon Sect?"
"I’m here to collect a debt. Years ago, my brother made a mistake and was assigned by the Sect Leader to a particularly dangerous mission, which led to his death. Afterwards, because I was dissatisfied with this, the Sect Leader directly expelled . I’ve recently been idle in Beijing, so I thought I’d see how this debt might be settled, after all, it involved a human life," Liu Jun said, shrugging nonchalantly, appearing completely at ease, as if he wasn’t here to settle a score over his brother’s death.
"That matter is years old, and you yourself promised it had nothing to do with the Dragon Sect back then. If your brother hadn’t acted on his own, the mission wouldn’t have failed, nor would he have died. So if you have anyone to bla, it’s your brother. This has nothing to do with the Dragon Sect," Guo Wen coolly responded to Liu Jun’s justification.
"Let’s not discuss that now. I actually ca here to find the Sect Leader because aside from that matter, there’s sothing else I need her approval on. But it seems she isn’t here, so as the acting deputy leader, you might take a look at this docunt. My family drafted it, and it’s already been approved, just needs your signature," Liu Jun said, unfazed by Guo Wen’s explanation, as he retrieved a docunt from one of his n and handed it over to Guo Wen.
Instead of accepting the docunt, Guo Wen eyed Liu Jun with a contemplative gaze.
"What’s wrong, Guo Wen? Are you worried I’ll hide a bomb in the paperwork again? Rest assured, these docunts are safe, and I’ve long since given up such antics; nearly killed hundreds with a bomb once, taught a lesson," Liu Jun chuckled, noticing Guo Wen’s caution.
