The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

That night, at the headquarters of Muyun Technology.

The banquet hall, which should have been bustling with activity, was unusually quiet at this moment.

Apart from Mu Yun's few staunch allies, none of the previously invited guests showed up, and the empty seats, illuminated by the crystal chandeliers, made the atmosphere even more desolate and awkward.

Liu happy, the general manager of Muyun Technology, walked quickly to the old man next to the main seat, bowed his head, and spoke with some hesitation.

"Mr. Wang, it's been an hour past the agreed time, and none of the guests have arrived. Should we... continue waiting?"

The old man, addressed as Elder Wang, slowly waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the empty seats in the hall. His face was calm and showed no emotion, except for a faint, imperceptible calmness hidden deep in his eyes.

"No need to wait any longer, everyone who was supposed to come has come."

As soon as he finished speaking, his tone turned icy, and he firmly ordered, "Pass the word down: immediately activate the emergency plan and completely sever all ties within Mu Yun with the Ghost God. No matter the cost, there will be no leniency!"

Liu happy paused, hesitated for a moment, then forced himself to ask, "What about Minister Guo...?"

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in Old Wang's eyes, and a chilling aura burst forth from his body.

Liu happy felt a chill on his feet. Looking down, he saw that his feet were frozen solid by a layer of crystal frost. The cold air spread rapidly up his trouser legs, making his whole body numb and his teeth chatter.

"Old Wang, I'll take care of it right away!"

"Please forgive me, Elder Wang! I'll take care of it right away, immediately!" Liu happy immediately fell silent, not daring to hesitate for a moment, and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.

As he admitted his mistake, the frost under his feet slowly melted, and the biting cold faded away.

Liu happy felt as if he had been granted a pardon. After bowing respectfully, he practically fled the banquet hall.

After Liu happy left, the other two elderly men sitting next to Old Wang slowly spoke.

"Old Wang, are you really going to completely abandon your son-in-law? Guo Zhicai has controlled the Ministry of Trade for so many years and has a deep-rooted foundation. If he leaves, Mu Yun will suffer a great loss."

Mr. Wang did not explain directly, but slowly took out his phone, opened a video, and handed it to Mr. Lü.

Mr. Lü took the phone with a puzzled look, but the moment he saw the video content, his expression changed drastically. He almost dropped the phone, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

The video is short, but it clearly records the battle scene between Yao Xiangyang and Guo Zhicai.

If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal, but Guo Zhicai was using the Shadow Serpent Power, and he even fought Yao Xiangyang to a standstill, not losing ground at all!

Others may not understand, but they can grasp the meaning behind it.

"He was the messenger of the Shadow Serpent! He was really well hidden!"

Old Lu gritted his teeth and said resentfully, "Old Wang, are you going to handle this kid or am I?"

"Who do you think sent me this video?"

Old Lu was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening.

"Yao Xiangyang has already killed him, and this matter ends here."

Old Wang's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"Remember, all the cutting must be completed before dawn tomorrow, leaving no trace. As long as you get through tomorrow, everything will be better."

Old Lu was puzzled, but the other old man immediately understood.

"Are Big Brother and the Speaker returning from the secret realm?"

"Um."

Upon hearing this, the tension and solemnity that had lingered on the faces of the three instantly vanished. Old Master Lü breathed a long sigh of relief, a relieved smile spreading across his face.

"Great! With Big Brother and the Speaker here, no matter how arrogant Yao Xiangyang is, he can't cause any trouble! After all, this 056 shelter isn't entirely under his control!"

The oppressive atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually dissipated, and the three exchanged glances, each seeing certainty in the other's eyes.

……

"Knock knock knock..."

The next morning, a light knock on the door woke Lu Yan from his meditation.

He slowly opened his eyes and subconsciously glanced at the panel in front of him, where the progress of each sequence and breathing technique was clearly displayed.

[Sequence 8 - Mysterious Mentor: 38%]

[Sequence 8 - Ultimate Warrior: 63%]

[Sequence 8 - The Devious Gardener: 25%]

[Sequence 8 - Eavesdropper: 41%]

[Ink Concealment Breathing Technique (Mastery): 12%]

【Wind Breathing Method (Mastery): 9%】

Meteor Breathing Technique (Mastery): 15%

[Water Moon Meditation Method (Mastery): 76%]

Because of the unique nature of the Extreme Warrior, coupled with the blessing of the mysterious mentor, even though he was practicing multiple breathing techniques at the same time, his progress was still quite fast.

Instead of hindering them, they actually helped each other and accelerated the progress of the ultimate warriors.

On the contrary, the hermit gardener is lagging behind in terms of progress.

[The hermit gardener, sensing the host's thoughts, said that even a skilled cook can't cook without rice, and hoped the host would provide more nutrients to promote growth.]

"Nutrition... how about we go out and catch some weird stuff?"

Lu Yan scratched his head. The teacher had obviously made some discoveries yesterday, and after a night, he was afraid that everything had been dealt with.

He put the matter aside for the time being, got up and walked towards the door.

As soon as I opened the door, a familiar, delicate fragrance wafted towards me, sweet and subtle, lingering around my nose and stirring my soul.

"What, aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Yao Qing's gaze towards Lu Yan was almost dripping with longing.

Lu Yan also noticed that Yao Qing had developed a special charm, captivating people with every smile and frown.

If Lu Yan hadn't been so mentally strong, he probably would have unconsciously followed Yao Qing's instructions by now.

"Is this the [Witch] path sequence 8, [The Instigator]?"

Lu Yan's eyes burned with brilliance. The Primal Sequence was indeed powerful, but unfortunately, it wasn't so easy to awaken.

He has roughly figured some things out in the past few days.

Even the panel couldn't awaken the primal sequence through the primal potion, but Yao Qing could.

The reason probably lies in these original cards.

If he wasn't mistaken, only by finding the corresponding potion and the Primal Card and gaining their approval could one have a chance to awaken the Primal Sequence.

This is likely the reason why the tracing plan made those requirements.

Lu Yan's mind raced, but he didn't show it, stepping aside to let Yao Qing in.

"I never expected that after only a few days of seclusion, you would be accepted as a disciple by my father."

Yao Qing smiled charmingly and moved closer to Lu Yan, revealing a glimpse of her fair skin.

"Junior brother, call me 'senior sister' so I can hear you say that?"

The seductive voice drifted over again, and combined with Yao Qing's alluring figure, it made one's blood boil involuntarily.

"Senior sister, please sit down."

Lu Yan looked helpless and quietly activated the eavesdropper's bewitching skill.

If the teacher saw Yao Qing's current actions, he would surely tear him to pieces.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Qing sat down involuntarily, her upright posture no different from that of a primary school student diligently attending school.

"Damn it, even this guy isn't a match for you!"

Seeing that she was so easily influenced by Lu Yan, Yao Qing gritted her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

"What sequence did you awaken? Wasn't it the physical sequence?"

Lu Yan shrugged and forcibly changed the subject.

"Senior sister, why have you been in seclusion for so long this time? Did you encounter some problem?"

"It shouldn't have taken this long originally, but resonating with the Witch Cards took me quite a bit of time, which is why it's been delayed until now."

As she spoke, Yao Qing extended her slender finger, and a card with a completely black body and strange patterns quietly appeared at her fingertip, hovering in the air.

The design of the card was extremely similar to the Giant card in Lu Yan's hand.

Lu Yan looked closely and was shocked to find that in the center of the card was engraved the image of a witch with a faint smile and a charming figure. The allure in her eyes was exactly the same as Yao Qing's.

[Discover the Primal Card - Chaos Witch (VII) - Pleasure: Can manipulate threads of desire, control enemy actions, draw pleasure into power, and excel at seduction]

It's actually a complete original card?

Lu Yan suddenly realized why it took so long; this explained it all.

However, this ability is truly outrageous, as it can directly manipulate desires and absorb pleasure into power.

He suddenly felt a sense of anticipation, wondering what kind of power he would gain once he collected all the Giant cards.

"By the way, senior sister, have you seen the teacher?"

Since last night, Yao Xiangyang has not replied to any of his messages.

Although he didn't think anything would happen to the teacher, he was still somewhat worried.

"My dad? He came to see me this morning, but left in a hurry."

Yao Qing tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "It seems that the Speaker has returned from the secret realm and summoned everyone to a meeting."

"Due to the recent turmoil, the relationship between the Judgment Department and Mu Yun has become somewhat strained, and the Speaker wants to mediate."

speaker?

Lu Yan was taken aback upon hearing this.

During this period, Yao Xiangyang purged the followers of the Ghost God and rigorously investigated Muyun Technology at the 056 Shelter. He acted swiftly and decisively, almost like a dictator.

He almost forgot that this shelter also had a supreme leader—the Speaker.

"But of all times, he came back at this time..."

Lu Yan rubbed his chin, thinking that such words of reconciliation should be taken with a grain of salt, lest they be used to take sides.
