70: Shadow Pavilion

Qi Yuan, the helm of the Qi Group, was a figure who held a significant rank throughout the entire Dragon Country.

With his own strength, he had almost monopolized the resource chain of the Magic Capital!

And he himself was a Seventh-Rank Martial Artist!

After Qi Yuan entered, he sized up Fang Bai and the others, then chuckled, "Your classmates?"

Qi Tian nodded. At this moment, he had lost his previous sharpness and instead seemed a bit more restrained.

Clearly, he was still well-behaved in front of his father.

Qi Yuan's gaze fell on Fang Bai, and he smiled, "I think I heard just now that your body has undergone a mutation? You can directly devour the energy of demon beasts?"

Fang Bai gave a sheepish smile, "Uncle Qi, I was actually just joking. I'm probably not even sure what's happening to my own body."

Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? That's a bit of a pity. I was originally thinking of inviting you to join an experiment in my company—well, regarding the study of structural changes in a martial artist's body..."

Fang Bai hurriedly shook his head, "No need, no need! I'm still just a child!"

How could he be willing to let others poke and prod him like a lab rat?

Qi Yuan smiled and didn't say much more.

He didn't really believe much of what Fang Bai said either.

However, there were indeed many people with special bodies; in this world, nothing was too strange.

"By the way, Dad, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Qi Tian hesitated for a moment before suddenly speaking up.

Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow, "You've changed quite a bit, kid. You never used to let us interfere in your business."

Qi Tian gave a sheepish smile, "Well, this is a special situation."

He immediately recounted the matter of the mission they had accepted.

After listening, Qi Yuan said with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to have already come into contact with a cult."

Fang Bai asked curiously, "Uncle Qi knows about the cults too?"

Qi Yuan smiled and said, "Cult forces are like rats crossing the street that everyone in the human race wants to beat; they are enemies of humanity. If I hadn't heard of them, that would be too lame. Besides, I've dealt with their upper echelons."

Qi Tian was shocked, "Dad, we can't do anything illegal!"

Qi Yuan's face stiffened, and he immediately slapped the back of the boy's head, "What are you thinking, you brat! Is your old man the type of person to defect and betray the country?"

Qi Tian chuckled, "I was just lightening the mood."

"The Feilan Biological Medicine Co., Ltd. you've come into contact with is indeed problematic, and the problem isn't small. According to my intelligence, that place is a stronghold of the Red Robe Cult, and they've already been targeted by The Authorities."

Hearing this, Fang Bai and the others were instantly shocked.

They had thought there was just an undercover agent hidden in that company, but it turned out to be an entire stronghold!

Qi Yuan chuckled and said, "It's lucky you asked me beforehand. Otherwise, if you had rushed in blindly, the grass on your graves would probably be growing by now."

Everyone: "..."

Qi Tian said gloomily, "We aren't that weak, are we?"

Qi Yuan smiled meaningfully, "A Red Robe Cult stronghold has at least one Cardinal. A Cardinal possesses a sixth-rank cultivation. There are at least a dozen cultists, and any one of them could kill you ten times over!"

Qi Tian felt ashamed.

Damn, what's with The Authorities? Letting these terrorists grow so fast?

Qi Yuan waved his hand and said, "My suggestion is that you don't get involved in this. This isn't something you can participate in."

Fang Bai said helplessly, "But we're still six kills short of completing our mission."

Qi Tian's eyes darted around, and then he suddenly looked at Qi Yuan, saying, "Dad, why don't you use your invincible connections and let us join the operation!"

Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes.

The next day.

A jeep arrived at the villa district.

Following that, a man in a tank top stepped out of the vehicle.

He was wearing a black tank top, and his body was full of explosive muscles with smooth lines, radiating a sense of power.

Qi Yuan led Qi Tian and the others out to meet him, a smile on his face as he spoke, "Brother Zhan Mian, long time no see!"

The man in the tank top raised an eyebrow, "Boss Qi, I didn't expect the day would come when we would cooperate."

Qi Yuan said with a smile, "I'm just a businessman. As long as there's a business opportunity, I can cooperate with friends from all walks of life."

He then introduced him to Qi Tian and the others, "This is one of the Ten Elders of the Shadow Pavilion, Zhan Mian. He is also the main person in charge of this operation. You will follow his command."

Zhan Mian laughed directly, "You rascal, I haven't said I agree to let them join yet!"

Qi Yuan chuckled, "Since you've come, doesn't that mean you've agreed?"

Zhan Mian raised an eyebrow, "Then about the cooperation we discussed earlier..."

Qi Yuan shrugged, "I'll give the Shadow Pavilion another three percentage points!"

Zhan Mian took a sharp breath, "You're really fucking generous!"

To give his son a stage to train, he was actually willing to bleed so much money.

Zhan Mian looked at Qi Tian and the others again, "Are these youngsters all from the Martial Academy?"

Qi Tian spoke first, "Hello, Senior! Qi Tian, Dual-Element Awakened of the Martial Academy."

"Dual-Element... I've long heard that Boss Qi's son awakened dual elements. It seems your future is limitless!"

Zhan Mian nodded slowly.

"Hello, Senior. My name is Fang Bai. Um, I'm also a Dual-Element Awakened."

Fang Bai showed a row of white teeth.

Zhan Mian looked at Fang Bai in surprise, "You're also a dual-element?"

Two dual-elements appearing at once—when did dual-elements become so common?

Qi Yuan smiled, "This batch of theirs are all the most outstanding talents of the Martial Academy. With a little cultivation, they will certainly achieve great things in the future."

Zhan Mian looked at Xiao Yuan, "Are you... also a student?"

He looked old enough to become sworn brothers with him, didn't he?

Xiao Yuan gave a simple smile, "I'm a student, from Earth Element Class One."

Zhan Mian nodded, "You're quite suited for the Demon Slaying Army."

Xiao Yuan scratched his head, not quite understanding.

Zhan Mian looked at A Xiu, who said calmly, "A Xiu, Space Element Awakened."

Space Element!

A rare attribute!

Zhan Mian's eyes lit up, "Little girl, are you interested in joining the Shadow Pavilion? To be my disciple?"

A Space Element user in the Shadow Pavilion would be like a treasure! If nurtured, she would be a sharp blade for the Shadow Pavilion!

A Xiu thought for a moment and then said, "Is there a salary?"

Zhan Mian was stunned, then laughed loudly, "Yes! Of course there is! A base salary of over ten thousand, plus five insurances and one housing fund, and extra bonuses for missions. Making a million a year won't be a problem."

A million... A hint of disdain appeared in A Xiu's eyes. She considered it and then said, "Um... I haven't graduated yet. Everything should focus on my studies."

"Alright, let's talk business first. Brother Zhan Mian, have you confirmed the time for the move?"

Qi Yuan suddenly asked.

Zhan Mian nodded, "Three days from now."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan revealed a mysterious smile, "Then on my side, I can also start closing the net."

His words left Qi Tian and the others somewhat confused.

Could it be that Qi Yuan had targeted Feilan Biological long ago?
