359: Zhang prepares to set up a special investigation team, Long secretly comes out of seclusion

Dragon Xuanyuan stood there quietly, as steady as a mountain, but when he saw the mysterious and unsettling intelligence report in his hand, his sharp, sword-like eyebrows furrowed tightly together.

His eyes, usually full of majesty, dominance, and great pressure, now sank slightly, as cold and deep as the chilling water in a deep pool.

Time passed minute by minute, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze due to the tension.

Just then, a slightly hurried sound of footsteps broke the silence, and Ba Xia rushed over in a flurry.

He jogged all the way to Dragon Xuanyuan, then stood steady, facing Dragon Xuanyuan's piercing gaze, and nodded slightly, indicating that he had brought important news.

"I've checked."

Ba Xia said, his voice low and serious, "Zhu Jianhua's coffin has indeed been forcibly opened. Not only that, but his body and the ashes of his wife and children have all disappeared without a trace."

Speaking of this, Ba Xia paused slightly, then continued: "According to my careful observation, the coffin was first subjected to a violent impact from a powerful external force, causing a hole to appear in the entire coffin, and only then were there signs of breaking out of the coffin."

Ba Xia's tone became heavier, each word like a giant stone falling to the ground: "This means that originally, Zhu Jianhua was undoubtedly already dead.

However, now... for some unknown reason, this person who should have been resting underground has mysteriously come back to life and broken out of the coffin!"

Although his heart was full of disbelief, the evidence before him left no room for doubt.

Hearing this, Dragon Xuanyuan remained silent, merely letting out a soft sigh, a sigh that seemed to contain endless worry and confusion.

Dragon Xuanyuan sighed, rubbed his temples, and then slowly spoke, "Has Dragon Dark finished his seclusion?"

"Soon, it should be within the next few days."

"Okay, tell him to come see me when he's out. Also, select some skilled investigators from the Dragon Group and prepare to form a special investigation team."

"Special investigation team?"

Ba Xia was a little puzzled, but after thinking about a passage in the intelligence report, he became somewhat startled and uncertain, "Is Dragon King preparing to investigate incidents like the Ten Stars Commerce Guild, as Blade Lord suggested?"

Upon hearing this, a chilling killing intent suddenly burst forth from the deep, sea-like eyes of the Dragon King.

In an instant, the entire space seemed to be frozen by this sharp killing intent, sending shivers down one's spine.

At the same time, a natural, mountain-like heavy pressure unconsciously emanated from his majestic body.

The Dragon King let out a cold snort, his voice echoing like a great bell: "Prince Wuan has already personally led people to the headquarters of the Ten Stars Commerce Guild. Such social parasites truly deserve death and should be cut into ten thousand pieces to quell the public's anger!"

Here, he paused slightly, then continued in a cold tone: "Furthermore, the matter concerning the Wei Family is by no means an isolated case.

With the fourth spiritual energy tide approaching, now is the time to clean up these social dregs, lest they cause us more trouble when the time comes."

Ba Xia, standing nearby, heard these words and a hint of unconcealable joy flashed in his eyes.

He stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said, "Dragon King is absolutely right! Your subordinate believes this is an excellent opportunity to eliminate many hidden dangers in one fell swoop.

May we, the Sons of the Nine Dragons, have the honor of joining that special investigation team for this operation?"

However, the Dragon King glared fiercely at Ba Xia and said in a deep voice, "I know you are also indignant, but we have many factors to consider, so don't think about it.

However, you can supervise these matters at any time; you won't be disappointed."

After a pause, the Dragon King slightly frowned and continued, "According to news from the Dragon Group members in the Five Allied Nations, the Three-Eyed Tiger has reappeared and taken action.

Not only that, but the Demon King who had previously disappeared without a trace has also appeared near the Five Allied Nations. His strength is so great that he can even directly contend with the spiritual body of a King Realm Expert.

What's more troublesome is that the group of mysterious individuals has also surfaced one after another.

However, strangely, they did not kill this time, perhaps realizing that this world is about to usher in a world-shaking upheaval."

"Dragon King, then they..."

Ba Xia wanted to say something but was stopped by the Dragon King, "Don't talk about them too much. They are too mysterious, and their stance is unknown.

Everything still depends on ourselves. Blade Lord is one of the few among the Nine Lords most likely to break through before the spiritual energy tide. We must not let him finish his seclusion."

"Understood!"

Ba Xia said no more, "Then I will go select the Dragon Group members now!"

"Go!"

Two days later, inside Baili Ziyuan's cultivation room, he slowly opened his gray eyes, and in an instant, the surrounding walls were covered in frost.

The Ghost Generals and the two Ghost Commanders, Mo Xuan and Xia Yu, who were sitting around him, also awoke.

"I didn't expect such a great harvest, but my points are used up. If I had twice as many, I might be able to try to break through to Martial Lord Peak."

Saying this, Baili Ziyuan stood up, did some simple exercises, then raised his hand to condense the Netherworld Gate, and all the Ghost Generals and Ghost Commanders were sucked inside.

As his strength increased, he gained a new understanding of the Netherworld Gate and used it more skillfully.

"Let's go out and see!"

Thinking this, Baili Ziyuan pushed open the door of the cultivation room, only to find a Dragon Group member waiting there as soon as he opened the door.

"Lord Dragon Dark, Dragon King has requested your presence. Please come with me."

"What is it?"

Baili Ziyuan raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect that as soon as he came out of seclusion, something would come looking for him. However, he didn't refuse and followed the other person.

"I'm not sure about the specifics, but I think it should be related to the Lord of Flesh."

"Lord of Flesh, Zhu Jianhua?"

Baili Ziyuan was startled. Had something gone wrong?

"What happened to him?"

That Dragon Group member was not weak, having already reached the Late Stage of Martial Grandmaster, and knew quite a bit about the situation, so he told everything he knew.

After listening, a rare hint of joy appeared in Baili Ziyuan's slightly cold eyes. Although he had personally ended Zhu Jianhua's life, he had only wanted to help him find release.

"We will meet again in the future, but I hope we won't become enemies."

With somewhat complex emotions, Baili Ziyuan arrived at the Dragon Group's conference room. The Dragon King also rushed over as soon as he received the news.

Prince Wuan also arrived at the same time. Neither of them looked very good, because they hadn't been idle these past few days, investigating some dark aspects within Great Xia, but the results were not very ideal.
