53: The attitude of the Demon Subduing Division

Pang Cheng also released Xu Lan and followed Lu Ze to the innermost barrier. After he communicated with a special communication tool, a small door opened in the barrier.

Lu Ze was the first to pass through, and everyone else followed him in.

The fresh air of the Human Base instantly filled everyone's hearts, and a feeling never experienced before rippled through many people's hearts.

This feeling was indescribable, incomparable, and could only be described by two words - alive!

Xu Lan also followed the crowd through this small door into the confines of Xuanyuan City, and the small door in the barrier closed at this moment.

Fu Liang stretched, and said to Lu Ze, "Young Master Lu, I'll take my leave first. If you need anything, just contact me anytime. The number I gave you last time will always reach me."

Qin Wan also said to Lu Ze, "Young Master Lu, I'll also take my leave first. I hope when you have time, Young Master Lu, you can accept my Qin Family's invitation and come as a guest."

Song Wushuang said similar words.

The three left one after another, but Tang Chenyi still looked dejected. His thoughts were a bit chaotic now, but he hadn't completely lost his basic reasoning. He at least greeted Lu Ze before leaving.

The rest of the people also carefully thanked Lu Ze. If it weren't for Lu Ze holding that jade token, they wouldn't have been able to return to Xuanyuan City so easily.

Lu Ze nodded, acknowledging their words, and then lifted his foot to leave.

"Is Xia Yuanhong dead?"

Xu Lan suddenly spoke from the side, her voice already carrying a faint sense of suppression.

Xu Lan had been instructed by Xia Yuanhong to stall those who returned early if he didn't appear in time.

But with how things had developed, it made her wonder if Xia Yuanhong might already be dead?!

Lu Ze glanced over, met Xu Lan's gaze, and calmly opened his mouth, "Don't know, haven't seen him."

With that, Lu Ze strode away.

The rest of the people also dispersed, returning to their dormitories in the Demon Subduing Division!

...Night quickly fell, and the darkness enveloped the entire city. Most of the lights in homes had gone out, but in a certain office in the Demon Subduing Division, several people gathered, all silent, looking at a personal file in front of them.

Sitting in the main seat was a man of about fifty, wearing a suit jacket. Although his hair was already white, he was very energetic, with sharp eyes.

He was the first to reach out, flipping through Lu Ze's file again and again, but it was always the same few sentences.

"Top secret? I've been in the Demon Subduing Division for so long, and this is the first time I've seen such a top-secret document. So, a truly top-secret document really only says 'top secret' inside. I've really learned something new."

Listening to the man's words, the others beside him exchanged glances, saying nothing.

"Lu Ze is back?"

The man took out a cigar, slowly lit it, and took a puff.

"Yes!"

One person immediately replied.

"What about Xia Yuanhong? Didn't he come back with him?"

"Yes! We estimate that he might have died outside."

"Hmm, if he died outside, then he died outside. Xia Ning's son doesn't have his father's abilities, but he's much more self-important than his father. If his father hadn't hidden his true strength back then, he probably would have died too. If he could have half of his father's Heart-Nature, he'd probably be a figure of importance in the future."

The man exhaled a puff of smoke, slowly evaluating.

"This matter ends here. Don't pursue it further. As for 'Myriad Things Grow', tell the brats in the Division to suppress their desires. Whoever dares to snatch it, I'll break his legs!"

"Yes!"

"Also, give those who went on this mission some compensation, give them a few days off. During these days, arrange for some people to take them to understand some of the rules of the Demon Subduing Division and the differences between the various Ranks."

"Yes!"

The person next to him received the order and withdrew.

The man, with the cigar in his mouth, stood up. He picked up Lu Ze's personal file with his left hand, snapped his fingers with his right, and a wisp of blue flame appeared at his fingertip. The paper, nearing the flame, was immediately engulfed and swallowed by the tongue of fire.

"No one is to investigate Lu Ze anymore. Just treat him as an ordinary person."

The man left this sentence and strode out of the office.

The others stood up, watching the man leave.

The few of them exchanged glances. Although none spoke, they understood that this Lu Ze, in the future, was probably immeasurable!

...Lu Ze was resting in the house arranged by Cheng Ran when his phone vibrated a few times, and several messages flooded in.

Lu Ze opened it and the first thing that caught his eye was an official message from the Demon Subduing Division, saying that they appreciated their hard work on this mission and were giving them three days off.

After three days, they could go to the Demon Subduing Division to claim their mission rewards, and there would also be a two-day Demon Subduing Division culture lecture course.

As the first-place finisher in the assessment, Lu Ze could also go to the Demon Subduing Division after three days, where someone would naturally take him to choose the weapon he wanted to forge.

After closing that message, there were messages from Fu Liang, mostly asking if Lu Ze wanted him to accompany him to have some fun during the three-day holiday, or if he had any demonic cores he wanted to sell, as he could set up another deal.

The remaining messages were from Qin Wan and Song Wushuang, saying that their family elders hoped to invite Lu Ze as a guest.

Lu Ze only replied to Fu Liang, agreeing to sell some demonic cores the day after tomorrow.

Turning off his phone, Lu Ze took Xiao Hong and entered the alchemy room, continuing to study how to refine medicine.

Before this mission, Lu Ze had refined several medicines to maintain his spirit and Spiritual Qi. Although they were all low-grade, they were very useful. Lu Ze had been killing non-stop for the next two days, relying mainly on Spirit Medicine to sustain himself.

Now that the Spirit Medicine's power had dissipated, Lu Ze had also returned and slept for most of the day, only just waking up. Aside from being a little tired, there were no other side effects, which made him very satisfied.

Taking advantage of this time, he began to ponder again, almost refining a batch and feeding one to Xiao Hong.

As the sun and moon rotated, the sky quickly brightened. Lu Ze had already refined many things he had never tried before, while Xiao Hong lay on the table, unable to move, its belly bloated, occasionally letting out a burp.

Lu Ze also felt a bit sleepy, put things down, and went to sleep.

Xiao Hong also got to rest, but what it didn't expect was that when Lu Ze woke up, he started refining again, and it was force-fed one pill after another.

By the morning of the second day, Lu Ze finally let it go, but the Spirit Medicine was already stuck in its throat; any more would be directly vomited out.

"Young Master Lu, I'm here to pick you up!"

Fu Liang's voice on the phone was very happy, mixed with the muffled roar of a car.

Lu Ze responded, then put Xiao Hong on his shoulder, slung the Fierce Evil Broadsword, and left the house.
