171: Underground of the Demon Subduing Division

Another two whole days passed.

There was no movement from Lu Ze's residence.

The Spiritual Qi fluctuations from a few nights ago were like a fleeting moment, now they had vanished without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea.

Even Fu Liang had taken the time to come over several times, looked at the door, and then left.

Fu Liang wondered if seven days weren't enough for Lu Ze to Breakthrough, and if he should help Lu Ze request a few more days off.

But Fu Liang ultimately did not make the decision himself; he just came to check in on time.

On the evening of the sixth day of his leave, Lu Ze's dormant Spiritual Qi suddenly erupted, spreading out and enveloping the entire house!

Lu Ze also emerged from his meditative state, slowly opening his eyes.

"Buzz!"

The Spiritual Pressure belonging to a Fifth-Rank cultivation immediately burst forth, and bursts of Qi explosions radiated outwards from Lu Ze!

"Congratulations, Host's cultivation has advanced to the Early Stage of Fifth-Rank!"

Just as he was reining in his overflowing Spiritual Pressure, Lu Ze suddenly noticed something.

"Eh?"

As Lu Ze circulated his Spiritual Qi, he discovered a tiny golden sphere hidden deep within his abdomen.

This small sphere was surrounded by abundant Spiritual Qi.

With Lu Ze's every breath, this golden sphere also followed a regular rhythm, thereby stimulating the surrounding Spiritual Qi to circulate, and gradually guiding the Spiritual Qi throughout Lu Ze's entire body to fluctuate with it, actually achieving a state of self-cultivation!

In other words, Lu Ze did not need to enter meditation; he could cultivate on his own, anytime, anywhere!

Lu Ze investigated slightly and immediately knew what this small sphere was.

"Myriad Things Grow?"

He hadn't expected that as he stepped into Fifth-Rank cultivation, Myriad Things Grow would also grow with him, beginning to control the operation of his Spiritual Qi.

Currently, it seemed that besides being able to instantly disrupt others' minds, Myriad Things Grow could also operate Spiritual Qi; he wondered what benefits it would bring after continued growth.

Lu Ze stood up, and his Thundering Serpent and Demon General also took their respective positions.

After tidying up a bit, Lu Ze checked the time.

After tonight, there was one day left until it was time to return to the Demon Subduing Division.

Calculating the time, it was a few days later than the time Lu Ze had previously agreed upon with 'Zhong Sheng,' but 'Zhong Sheng' hadn't received any news from Lu Ze, so they should still be waiting obediently outside Xuanyuan City.

Lu Ze took several Spiritual Artifacts for storage, then changed into a low-key black outfit, and under the moonlight, he swiftly headed towards the outskirts of Xuanyuan City!

...Below the Demon Subduing Division's No. 1 main building.

Meng Yanxing led Due into the dark, sunless basement, which was damp and gloomy, and the passage was very narrow, only allowing one person to pass through.

The long passage seemed endless, with a magical formation capable of blocking Sixth-Rank cultivators every ten meters!

Due followed behind Meng Yanxing, holding a stack of documents, his expression stern.

Meng Yanxing, without a hint of impatience, opened each magical formation with his specific token as they passed through.

After several tens of minutes, the two finally reached the end of the passage.

Meng Yanxing skillfully placed the token on a certain spot on the wall.

"Drip!"

A faint sound rang out, the wall vibrated slightly, slowly opening to both sides, and an elevator appeared!

The elevator door opened, revealing a two-meter-tall burly man standing inside, with dark skin, a bare torso, and scars from knives and swords covering almost all visible skin; his hair was shaved flat, and he wore a dark black mask, making his face unidentifiable.

Even so, it made one feel that this burly man was extremely ferocious!

It was worth noting that around the burly man's neck was a thick black collar, covered with dense and intricate Dao patterns, which were very profound and complex.

Due stared at the burly man for a long time, but upon entering here, he was restricted by the magical formations, unable to exert much Spiritual Qi, so Due could only try to observe the man's face beneath the mask with the help of the dim lighting.

He wondered if it was an illusion, but in a trance, Due seemed to see some blue scales on the man's face beneath the mask!

"Lord Meng!"

The burly man called out, his voice deep and carrying a hint of pressure.

This pressure was very strange; it was not the pressure generated by Spiritual Qi, nor was it the pressure of Different Fire or Different Lightning, but it was like a Bloodline suppression!

The moment the burly man spoke, Due felt discomfort in his chest, dizziness, and an irresistible suppression that crushed him tightly!

His head also lowered with it, a feeling of fear rising from the bottom of his heart!

Due was a Little Commander after all, yet he was suppressed to such an extent by a single voice; no one would likely believe it if it were told, but this incident had truly happened!

Meng Yanxing hummed in acknowledgment, then took the stack of documents from Due's hand and instructed, "Due, I'm going to the twelfth floor, you can go back."

Due immediately agreed.

Meng Yanxing entered the elevator, and as the surrounding walls shifted, the elevator closed, disappearing into the wall without a trace.

Only then did Due let out a breath, raising his hand to touch his forehead, only to find a thin layer of sweat on it!

What was the origin of that burly man just now?!

Due couldn't help but murmur to himself; he had been in the Demon Subduing Division of Xuanyuan City for ten or twenty years and had never seen such a person!

Without thinking much longer, Due walked towards the exit.

Meng Yanxing and the burly man rapidly descended with the elevator.

"Beast One, it's been several days; have you figured out Qin Wan's background?"

Meng Yanxing's voice was cold, unlike his usual calm demeanor.

The burly man immediately responded respectfully, "Lord Meng, I've tried my best, but this person is really stubborn; I..."

"I don't want to hear this nonsense! I only want results! If you, Beast One, can't do it, there are naturally other Beast Races who can replace you at any time!"

Meng Yanxing's expression towards Beast One was one of unprecedented disdain and contempt, as if the obsequious burly man standing before him was merely a lowly race!

"I'll give you three more days. If you still can't get any important information, then get back to your Beast Race's animal pen!"

Upon hearing this, Beast One immediately fell to his knees with a thud, pleading sincerely and earnestly, "Lord Meng, please don't send me back! I will do everything in my power to make her speak!"

"Hmph, if you can't do it in three days, then get out!"

Meng Yanxing walked past Beast One and out of the elevator door. Beast One remained kneeling in the elevator until the door closed, then he slowly stood up again, pressed "eighteen" on the side, his figure hunched, as the elevator continued to descend.

Not long after Meng Yanxing stepped out of the elevator door, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

Already seething with anger, he impatiently took out his phone, grumbling as he opened the newly received text message. His eyes had barely scanned two lines when his gaze narrowed, and the pressure around him immediately surged!

"Good! Lu Ze, what a grand scheme you've orchestrated! The ice coffin and the corpse, you took them, didn't you?!"
