I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Mingjiang Residential Area.

In front of the full-length mirror in her living room, Yi Qianxun, dressed in a light purple evening gown, turned to Xu Lindong, who was walking out of the room, and asked, "Dongzi, take a look, how do I look in this for the social gathering?"

Uncle Yi, who was pruning flowers nearby, interjected: "This is a gathering of extraordinary individuals. You are not an extraordinary individual yet, so you are not the main character."

Dongzi is the main character; he's dressed casually. You shouldn't dress too formally; keep it simple.

Yi Qianxun's face darkened, and he muttered, "Dad, who is your real son...?"

Then, she smiled and looked at Xu Lindong: "But you're right, Dongzi, you're the main character this time."

I just went with you to get acquainted with you. Without your guidance, I really wouldn't have been able to make a breakthrough or build influence.

She is now very clear about her Dongzi's strength.

That person is listed on the list of extraordinary beings, far surpassing ordinary executives.

Therefore, as long as Xu Lindong brings her to such occasions, it will inevitably attract the attention of many extraordinary individuals.

Her fame and influence will naturally increase as a result.

The influence she gained from being noticed by many sequence superhumans was far more significant than being famous among ordinary people, and was enough to help her meet the requirements for promotion to "village head".

"I think this outfit suits me quite well."

Xu Lindong glanced at Yi Qianxun's evening gown, then looked at his watch. "It's almost time. Lin Xiao is still waiting downstairs. Let's go."

"good!"

Yi Qianxun casually tidied her hair, stepped forward and took Xu Lindong's arm, then sniffed Xu Lindong and laughed.

"You don't have that strange smell anymore."

"Of course, after all, it's been several days since we came back from that place."

Xu Lindong smiled, knowing that Yi Qianxun was referring to the stench of a corpse masked by perfume.

Now that several days have passed, the stench of the corpse has naturally dissipated.

He will only reappear if he transforms into a zombie.

At that moment, he was simply wearing a casual suit, looking like a recent graduate just starting his career.

However, the vigorous energy unique to extraordinary individuals made him appear radiant, while the chilling power of the hidden zombie sequence gave him a cold and aloof temperament despite his youth, making him someone no one dared to underestimate.

After greeting Uncle Yi and Aunt Yi, the two went downstairs together.

Seeing that the door was closed, Yi Guoqiang and Zhou Hui peered out the window again.

Seeing the two holding hands, Yi Guoqiang scratched his head and asked curiously.

"Our Dongzi has finally figured things out; he seems to be getting along better and better with Xunxun."

Zhou Hui glanced at it and said, "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

Yi Guoqiang chuckled foolishly, then sighed, "Back then, I brought these two kids together to repay Brother Xu and Sister Qiu for saving my life..."

"You should repay someone's life-saving grace with your whole life, not with our daughter's entire life of happiness."

Zhou Hui snorted, then laughed, "Luckily, Xunxun really does like Dongzi, and Dongzi is also promising. He's come to his senses now. Otherwise, a forced relationship won't be sweet, and it might have ruined the two children's lives."

Yi Guoqiang nodded, "It's good that he's finally figured it out. Besides, I think Dongzi is becoming more and more outstanding. He'll definitely surpass Brother Xu in the future..."

Zhou Hui, "So, are you planning to tell Dongzi about Brother Xu?"

Yi Guoqiang was taken aback, then frowned and said, "We can't rush this. Dongzi has only just gained a foothold on the path of the sequence."

The place where Brother Xu and Sister Qiu were murdered back then was the Xunhe Tiankeng (River Patrol Sinkhole)... Sigh, there's not much to say about it. So many people have died in that sinkhole over the years.

He stopped speaking, sighed, and then turned to embrace Zhou Hui.

"We've been married for so long, and you're still not behaving yourself!"

Zhou Hui shoved him and snorted, but didn't stop him.

She knew that her husband, Lao Yi, had been suffering all these years, but fortunately, Dongzi had become successful, which had alleviated much of that suffering.

...

Lin Xiao's black executive sedan was waiting at the entrance outside Mingjiang Residential Area.

Upon seeing Xu Lindong and his companion emerge, he immediately and attentively opened the car door.

"Did you change your car today?"

Xu Lindong got into the car and casually asked.

"This car is spacious, Dong Ge and the others will be comfortable sitting here," Lin Xiao quickly explained.

Xu Lindong secretly praised Lin Xiao, thinking that he was indeed capable of handling things.

After settling into the spacious back seat, he casually inquired about the other person's experience at the Extraordinary Social Gathering.

"Last time..." Lin Xiao recalled as he drove.

"Brother Dong, you should have heard of these extraordinary club social events. On the one hand, they are for people to socialize and expand their networks."

On the other hand, it is also an arena for extraordinary individuals from various outer cities and even foreign states to compete against each other.

"Especially those superhumans from other countries, they come almost every year to spar with our Xia Kingdom's superhumans, as if they are testing the strength of our Xia Kingdom's younger generation."

"Of course, it's also possible that they themselves have a need for promotion."

For example, those who follow the Asura path are particularly warlike and need to digest supernatural matter through battles.

"While our humanitarian approach is not combative, it does need to expand its influence."

Therefore, many people will accept the challenge, hoping to make a name for themselves in such an occasion…”

"This is indeed an opportunity to build a reputation and expand influence."

Xu Lindong nodded slightly.

He also needs influence.

After all, I also plan to cultivate humanitarian practices in the future.

Although his current fame on the list of supernatural beings is enough to promote him to "village head".

But the next step up, from "Pavilion Chief" to "Captain" to "Marquis of a Hundred Miles," requires even greater prestige.

It's never a bad thing to accumulate knowledge in advance.

However, he also brought another task assigned by Lu Qian, which he had to complete along with this trip.

Seeing that Xu Lindong remained silent, Lin Xiao, who was driving in the front seat, took the initiative to start a conversation, talking about the eight sequence pathways of the Federation.

The main paths in the Federation are the Mystic, the Strange, and the Mythical. Among them, the Mystic path is the most well-known and is divided into three paths: Natural, Dark, and Necromantic.

Within the Shiva system, there are also Asuras, Devas, ascetics, and other lineages of priests and heroic spirits.

Lin Xiao spoke fluently and knowledgeably, as if recounting a familiar story.

He came with Xu Lindong this time hoping to become a familiar face and gain some influence, paving the way for his future involvement in humanitarian work.

After all, his family is in business, so this is the most suitable route for them.

Of course, even along the same path or within the same sequence, individuals may exhibit vastly different emphases and styles depending on their individual comprehension abilities.

"I heard that in the Federation, only three paths—mythology, natural mystery, and strange creatures—can lead to Sequence Two."

The Asura, Celestial, Necromantic, and Dark Mysteries paths seem to only allow cultivation up to Sequence Three at most, while the Priest and Heroic Spirit paths can only be cultivated up to Sequence Four…”

Xu Lindong listened from the back seat and nodded slightly.

He already knew these things, so he replied.

"The civilization on the Federation side is incomplete, even fabricated, pieced together from various sources, and lacks depth."

The gods they worship are also strange and absurd, not comparable to the righteous gods of our Xia Kingdom.

"So by now, the highest sequence in their sequence pathway was broken long ago, whether lost in history or stuck in the cracks of civilization..."

Yi Qianxun chimed in, "That's probably why the Federation people are so crazy."

Many of them even tolerate evil societies like the Salvation Society, and some even want to break the seal on the sinkhole.

"They even think those evil gods in the sinkhole can make up for their sequence defects... Tsk, what a bunch of lunatics."

As they were talking, the car had already arrived outside the Tiandi Hotel in the southern district of Jiangcheng.

Luxury cars kept arriving at the hotel entrance, filling the parking lot to capacity.

Many highly energetic and spiritually strong individuals with extraordinary abilities have gathered here.

Ordinary people would be on high alert in this situation and wouldn't dare to relax for a moment, and the parking attendant would be extremely busy.

"Um?"

Xu Lindong's gaze swept across the rolled-down car window and suddenly caught sight of two people confronting each other in the parking lot.

One of them, with brown hair and blue eyes, was clearly a foreigner; her aura, like her figure, was fiery and domineering.

The woman opposite him was also tall and slender; she was none other than Pang Jia, an old acquaintance of his.

"Why is Pang Jia getting into a fight with this foreigner? The social gathering hasn't even started yet and she's already trying to start a fight?"

Xu Lindong had a slight doubt in his heart. Seeing that Lin Xiao had handed the car keys to the valet, he got out of the car with Yi Qianxun.

A crowd had gathered around the two men who were facing off.

The brown-haired, blue-eyed foreign woman was staring at Pang Jia, taunting her in broken Chinese:

"You are a master on the Xia Kingdom's list of supernatural beings. I challenge you to a duel to see the true strength of the masters of your Xia Kingdom."

Pang Jia coldly replied, "I'm not interested in fighting you like a monkey outside before we've even entered the arena."

"We'll take action once we're inside and at the right stage."

"You Xia people love to beat around the bush, why don't we just get straight to the point..."

The foreign woman was still shouting when Pang Jia turned around and spotted Xu Lindong outside the crowd. Her eyes lit up, and she called out to him:

"Xu Lindong, you're here too!"
