447: Xin Mulan: It’s so annoying, I feel like I need to grow a brain!

Just as the group was immersed in the atmosphere of delicious food, someone was already secretly watching their every move.

They exchanged conversations, their voices low and mysterious.

"Brother, who are these people?"

"Members of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau. They were the ones who saved Yang Guo earlier."

"Damn it, they're so idle, even saving Yang Guo. What are they doing at Eshigu Mountain? We need to..."

After speaking, he made a gesture of slitting a throat.

The person shook his head, "Let's wait and see. Maybe they'll just play for a bit and then leave."

"But they..."

"They won't cause much trouble even if they come. It's almost a day, and they're still making women's food here. They must be here to play!"

"Then..."

"Let's go, we should leave first. It wouldn't be good if they discovered us."

The two left quietly, leaving only a gentle breeze.

However, what the two didn't know was that their actions had long been observed by someone.

This person was hidden in the shadows, his gaze sharp, watching their every move.

He sneered inwardly, "Hmph, you're still far from being able to lay a hand on the people of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau!"

"However, dog-eat-dog is interesting. As long as it doesn't disrupt my plan, what's wrong with adding fuel to your fire!"

He quietly observed the backs of the two as they left, pondering his next move.

He then looked at the Special Affairs Handling Bureau members happily chatting inside the room, contemplating something.

To verify a guess in his mind, he turned and left.

He called over Yang Family Head and said coldly, "Do you know this person?"

Yang Family Head looked up in confusion at the image in Mi Xingfa's hand, which was precisely the invader who had appeared in the East Sea earlier.

He respectfully lowered his head and replied, "Reporting to esteemed sir, this humble one has seen an image of this person."

Mi Xingfa was slightly agitated but said without changing his expression, "Show it to me."

Yang Family Head then extracted the image he had seen from the capital city from his mind. The image vaguely showed Li Jian (the invader from the Pacific Ocean who was killed by the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade) being instantly annihilated when the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade descended from the sky and pierced his heart.

Mi Xingfa stared intently at Li Jian in the image, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"So that's how it is..." he muttered to himself.

Yang Family Head cautiously looked at Mi Xingfa and softly asked, "Esteemed sir, is there anything wrong with this person?"

Mi Xingfa regained his composure and said indifferently, "It's nothing, you may leave."

After Yang Family Head left, Mi Xingfa pondered the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade with a look of confusion, always feeling a sense of déjà vu, but he couldn't recall it at the moment.

Witnessing Li Jian's death firsthand, Mi Xingfa was more or less surprised.

One must know that Li Jian's Realm was not Spirit Refining to Return to Emptiness, nor was he a Golden Immortal, but a Golden Immortal of Great Perfection.

He was actually instantly killed by someone with a single move. The key was that the owner of the weapon didn't even appear; a single weapon effortlessly annihilated a Golden Immortal Cultivator of Great Perfection.

What kind of existence was the opponent then? How terrifying?

It seems I still need to act more cautiously. I must hurry and find the ancient spirit pill. If my elder brother and second elder brother take the ancient spirit pill, even if the opponent's Realm is terrifying, can they still defeat a Grand Unity Golden Immortal and a Taiyi Golden Immortal?

Mi Xingfa decided to remain inactive for now, so as not to alert the enemy.

He began to investigate the origin of the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, while also stepping up efforts to find the ancient spirit pill, hoping to find some clues from it.

At this time, Xin Mulan and the other three were already investigating Mi Xingfa's every move.

However, upon learning that the opponent's Realm was Spirit Refining to Return to Emptiness, they dared not act rashly.

Xin Mulan lay on the table helplessly, her voice tinged with frustration, saying, "What should we do? That old man's Realm is Spirit Refining to Return to Emptiness! We four would be instantly killed before even getting close, right?"

Jin Meiting nodded in agreement, echoing, "Indeed, this is a bit unexpected, and he's even at the Great Perfection of Spirit Refining to Return to Emptiness. It's impossible for us to do it alone."

Lan Kun frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Currently, the only ones whose Cultivation Realm has reached Spirit Refining to Return to Emptiness are Feng He and Old Qin."

Ke Ming stamped her foot anxiously, her face filled with worry, "But... but aren't they both out on missions? We don't know when they'll be back?!"

Lan Kun comforted, "Don't rush. We've only investigated that this person's identity is not simple, and that the relationship between Yang Family Head and this person is also suspicious, but we don't have enough evidence yet."

His gaze was firm as he continued, "We need more time and clues to unravel this mystery. During this time, we must remain vigilant and be ready to respond to any potential situations."

Everyone nodded, expressing agreement with Lan Kun's point of view.

Upon hearing this, Xin Mulan's eyes widened instantly, and she said excitedly, "What evidence do we need? Let's just fight! Kill him, capture him, pry his mouth open, and then we'll know what their plan is?!"

She clenched her fists, looking eager to act.

Lan Kun frowned and retorted, "While that approach is indeed simple and crude, the opponent is a Family after all. If we act rashly without enough evidence and just kill him, what if it provokes a collective attack from them?"

His expression was serious, clearly indicating his caution regarding this matter.

Jin Meiting also nodded in agreement, adding, "And not just for this reason, doing so might also affect our cooperation with other Families in confronting the invaders."

After hearing this, Xin Mulan irritably ruffled her hair and complained, "Oh, oh, it's so annoying. I feel like I'm growing a brain."

She rubbed her hair irritably, her face full of annoyance, indicating that she didn't like thinking about these complex problems.

Ke Ming comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, you don't need to use your brain too much. When the time comes, you can just go for it."

After speaking, she patted Xin Mulan's shoulder.

Lan Kun then asked, "Do you know what Yang Family Head's Realm is?"

Jin Meiting thought for a moment and replied, "Isn't it Spirit Refining to Return to Emptiness?"

Lan Kun nodded and continued, "It seems so, but I don't know why, I always feel that he gives off a very strange feeling. I wonder if you all feel the same way?"

His gaze swept across everyone, awaiting their responses.

Xin Mulan shook her head blankly, then said, "No, I just feel like he's up to no good, does that count?!"

After speaking, she couldn't help but laugh first.

The others also started laughing, and the atmosphere lightened a bit.

Jin Meiting frowned and said, "No matter what, we've been here for several days already, and we can't wait any longer. Let's go back first and report the situation here to the Grand Elder, and let him decide what to do next."

Everyone nodded in agreement, "That's right, we should inform the Yang Family Head of our decision as soon as possible, so as not to waste time."

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with determination and resolve.

Lan Kun stood up and said, "I'll go inform the Yang Family Head."

The others also stood up, expressing their willingness to go together.

Thus, the group walked towards the place where the Yang Family Head was located.
