92: Kunlun Secret Realm Reclamation Rights

Old Wang’s brows instantly furrowed into a deep frown, and a crack appeared on his teacup: “Let the military organize it?”

“No.” Su Lei took out a black identification card from his 懷, the gold-embossed emblem glinting coldly under the light.

“I am not with the military.”

Old Wang’s pupils suddenly contracted: “Shadow Blade?!”

“So that’s how it is…” The old man leaned back against his chair, his eyes flickering under his grizzled eyebrows.

The office fell into a dead silence, with only the ticking of the antique grandfather clock sounding particularly harsh.

After a long while, Old Wang slowly spoke: “Are you planning to sideline the Martial Alliance Association?”

“For the intelligence on this ore vein, one Martial Master and five Martial Artists have already been permanently left in the Kunlun Mountains.”

Su Lei quietly watched the other party, saying nothing.

The value of star marrow crystals far exceeded ordinary people’s imagination.

In front of such a strategic resource, whoever led it meant which side could control the largest share of benefits.

He was determined to get it!

Not only for Li Xue凝, Su Yun, and Qiaoqiao, but also for Lin Qianqian, Wang Kai, and his own team to enhance their strength.

“Of course, we won’t sideline you.” Su Lei’s voice softened, “The Martial Alliance Association can get two-tenths of the share.”

“Two-tenths?!” Old Wang stood up abruptly, the solid wood chair scraping against the floor with a harsh sound.

If the Martial Alliance led, they could get at least eight-tenths!

The old man’s chest heaved violently, and the sleeves of his Daoist robe fluttered without wind, clearly showing he was suppressing his anger.

Su Lei remained unmoved, his gaze as sharp as a blade.

As the other party moved, he slowly stood up as well, a faint golden Protective Aura flowing around him.

“These two-tenths are in consideration of your contribution in providing intelligence.”

“When the actual exploration begins, everything will be handled by us. You don’t have to exert any effort.”

The office fell into a dead silence.

Old Wang’s face was uncertain.

A few minutes later, he slowly spoke, his voice a little hoarse.

“This matter… I cannot decide alone. I need to discuss it with the other presidents.”

Su Lei nodded lightly and got up to leave the office… As Su Lei walked through the Martial Artist Association hall, the noisy discussions around him suddenly fell silent.

Li Xue凝 was sitting gracefully on a leather sofa in the lounge area, her long, slender legs crossed, quietly examining the brand-new Martial Master certificate in her hand.

Several Martial Artists, who fancied themselves suave, intended to approach and strike up a conversation, but the moment their eyes met hers, they felt as if they had plunged into an ice cellar.

The coldness flowing in those beautiful eyes actually made their Qi and blood stagnate, forcing them to retreat dejectedly.

Su Yun and Qiaoqiao sat nearby, chatting and laughing.

Li Xue凝’s eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up to greet him.

Naturally, she linked her arm through her husband’s, her soft chest pressing tightly against his arm, as if silently declaring her sovereignty.

“Let’s go, home.” Su Lei said indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the envious or awe-filled eyes around them, a subtle curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

The night was deep, and the streetlights in Tian Que District blurred into a hazy glow amidst the falling snow.

Pushing open the front door, the smart home System in the living room automatically lit up with warm yellow light.

“Ding—”

The phone suddenly rang.

Su Lei glanced at the caller ID, lightly tapped his fingertip in the Void Realm, and Chen Xuan’s holographic projection immediately solidified above the dining table.

“Just finished the online meeting.”

“I was interrogated by nine presidents in rotation for an hour.”

Chen Xuan’s brows were tightly furrowed, looking somewhat helpless.

Su Lei probably guessed what was going on.

On one hand, they valued his strength and wanted the exploration process to be as smooth as possible; on the other hand, it was to repay his life-saving grace during the battle against Experimental Subject PX-0, wanting to bring him in for a share of the spoils.

But it would harm the interests of the Martial Alliance Association.

“No matter what, this matter must be led by me.”

“Of course, I understand the weight of Shadow Blade, but the Association’s side…” Chen Xuan sighed.

“The meeting results are out; they do not accept this distribution plan. Lei Family’s third Young Master will personally lead the team.”

“Lei Family?” Su Lei frowned slightly.

“That’s right, the Lei Family, one of the Four Great Families. Its Family Head is currently the General President of the Martial Alliance Association.”

After hanging up the phone, Su Lei pondered for a moment, then dialed another encrypted channel.

The communicator rang only once before being answered, as if the other party had been waiting for a long time.

“Old Ye.”

“I was just about to contact you.”

Ye Qingyun’s voice carried the characteristic static of electronic devices, and in the background, the roar of a military transport plane engine could be faintly heard, “

“I already know about the matter. The higher-ups’ intention is…” The old man paused, his tone becoming subtle, “to have both sides cooperate in the exploration.”

Su Lei’s brows suddenly furrowed tightly,

In front of the priceless star marrow crystal mine, they couldn’t even agree on cooperation, let alone explore together?

Wouldn’t that lead to a massive conflict?

Old Ye’s voice lowered a few notches.

“You also know the weight of the Lei Family.”

“Not just power, the foundations of the Four Great Families are also extraordinary; even the Federation… has to be wary.”

Su Lei slowly said: “Alright then, each to their own abilities.”

...Deep night.

Two bodies nestled on the large bed.

Su Lei leaned against the headboard, his right hand embracing Li Xue凝’s smooth, delicate shoulder, her dark, soft hair scattered on his chest, carrying a faint orchid fragrance.

He absently stared at the ceiling, the soft, moist touch beside him unable to dispel the gloom between his brows.

This time, the Kunlun Secret Realm not only required facing the threat of Yao Beasts but also constant vigilance against the people from the Martial Alliance Association.

In the desolate mountains and wild fields, where human traces were rare, no one could guarantee that the other party wouldn’t play some tricks in the dark.

Even if a few people were “accidentally” killed, it would mean nothing to the Martial Alliance Association.

This was destined to be an extremely dangerous mission.

But risk is proportional to reward,

Once he managed to conquer that place first, it wouldn’t just be for himself,

His Family and subordinates’ strength would undergo a qualitative leap.

Before the second catastrophe arrives, he absolutely cannot miss any opportunity to become stronger… Suddenly, the soft quilt gently stirred.

Li Xue凝 obediently burrowed under the quilt, sliding down to his abdomen, then his legs… A warm breath permeated through his thin pajamas.

“Wait…” Su Lei was about to speak, but his voice abruptly stopped.

His long fingers unconsciously ran through his wife’s hair.

Under the moonlight, the undulating silhouette of the quilt was reflected on the wall, like a flowing ink wash painting.

“Xue Ning…” Su Lei’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

His response was the sudden tightening of jade arms around his waist, and a deeper, burning embrace.

After a long while, Su Lei exhaled slowly, his tense muscles finally relaxing.

Li Xue凝 suddenly emerged from under the covers, her snow-white skin glowing with an alluring pink.

She frantically covered her mouth and rushed out the door.

The bathroom door slammed shut with a “bang,” followed by the sound of rushing water and a few suppressed coughs.

On the frosted glass, his wife’s graceful silhouette was bent over, her long hair cascading like a waterfall.

When Li Xue凝 returned to the bedside with a flushed face, she noticed that Su Lei was already fully dressed, staring at the encrypted communicator in his hand.

The screen displayed a set of coordinates and a complex topographical map.

Her voice involuntarily tightened.

“This is…”

“The Kunlun Mountains.”

“Another mission?”

“Yes, leaving now.”
