The cave was originally quiet, but it was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

However, as soon as Lang Xing finished speaking, the previously quiet cave became like a roaring sea, tightening the hearts of those present.

Yu Tian and Qingxuan both stood up simultaneously, exuding a terrifying Hua Yuan Realm cultivation, pressing towards Lang Xing.

Although Lang Xing appeared extremely calm on the surface, under this oppressive force, cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

His hand slightly tightened around the teacup, and blood flowed down his arm to the ground.

Lang Xing forcibly suppressed the unease in his heart, casually throwing the shattered teacup to the ground, and then wiped his bloodstained hand on the nearby table before finally speaking calmly.

"Brothers, you can’t possibly want to make a move against me here, that’s not right. If you do something to me here, the whole Can Yuan will know, and I’m afraid your Qingxuan Bird Clan won’t be able to stay unscathed."

"Including the Seven-Colored Fish Sect behind this Water Demon brother, even as a high-tier power, they might not withstand a united attack from all the demon forces of Can Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tian and Qingxuan exchanged glances and withdrew their overwhelming pressure together.

Only then did Lang Xing wipe the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, with a hint of palpitations in his eyes.

Qingxuan spoke up, "You just mentioned your secret is related to the Gold Luan Palace, now can you tell us what exactly the secret is?"

Yu Tian remained silent, but his intention was clear.

He also very much wanted to know what secret the Gold Luan Palace held.

The Sect Leader of the Seven-Colored Fish Sect operated within the Ancient Battlefield ruins while simultaneously seizing resources from the Ancient Battlefield ruins.

In fact, any power capable of stationing in the Ancient Battlefield ruins was no ordinary entity.

They all went for the resources of the Ancient Battlefield ruins.

Compared to the resources, the resources inside the Gold Luan Palace at the center of the Ancient Battlefield ruins were more abundant.

It opens once every interval, and the Seven-Colored Fish Sect has reaped many benefits from it.

Of course, they also paid some price while gaining benefits.

But this price is far less than the benefits.

Yu Tian had a thought that if he could bring the secret of the Gold Luan Palace into the Ancient Battlefield ruins, perhaps the Sect Leader wouldn’t even mind not killing Qin An and would instead reward him abundantly.

For him, not only would there be no losses, but there could be significant gains.

Therefore, both Yu Tian and Qingxuan chose to listen to what Lang Xing had to say at this moment.

After a brief pause, Lang Xing revealed a confident smile: "We have a way to trigger the crisis within the Gold Luan Palace, and once the crisis erupts, it will sweep through the entire Ancient Battlefield ruins."

"Everyone within the Ancient Battlefield ruins, whether they are from the Evil Extermination Bureau or human forces, or even other demon pseudo-god powers, will undoubtedly suffer severe damage, and at the very least, they will be skinned even if they survive."

At this point, Lang Xing was very confident.

He was waiting for a response from the others.

Unexpectedly, Qingxuan furrowed his brows tightly: "Triggering the danger within the Gold Luan Palace, causing such widespread damage, means that even we can’t avoid it."

Yu Tian also said, "If that’s the case, it’s just a method where mutual harm is almost equal, and your secret is not really a secret. If others find out, not only will the people of the Evil Extermination Bureau, but even demon pseudo-god powers won’t let you disappear without a trace."

The Gold Luan Palace is like a large cake, and the cake is renewable, so whether it’s humans or demon pseudo-god forces, they all have an unspoken rule.

That is to continuously develop and strengthen themselves using this cake.

But now, this Lang Xing actually said he wanted to trigger the greatest crisis within the Gold Luan Palace. Setting aside everything else, anyone who messes with this cake, whether human or demon pseudo-god forces, would definitely not spare Can Yuan.

Indeed, Can Yuan is chaotic, and there are many demon pseudo-god powers within, but how could they withstand targeted attacks from the Tianyun Dao?

Lang Xing shook his head slightly and said, "I think you two might have misunderstood. Since we have a way to activate the danger, we also have a way to avoid it. Besides me, many advocates from Can Yuan have already gone to various demon pseudo-god powers."

"As long as they agree, we can then specifically target the danger towards the human forces, including the Evil Extermination Bureau. By then, when the Evil Extermination Bureau loses its troops in the Ancient Battlefield ruins, they won’t be able to allocate more forces there."

"And the resources of the Ancient Battlefield ruins will be ours. We just need to take our time, and eventually, our strength will surpass the Evil Extermination Bureau. By then, the entire Tianyun Dao will no longer belong solely to the Evil Extermination Bureau, and this is a grand gift."

Upon saying this, Lang Xing looked at the bloody food beside him, poured himself a cup with a new wine glass, and took a few hearty bites of the bloody food, as if unwilling to be at a disadvantage.

Yet Qingxuan and Yu Tian did not mind Lang Xing’s somewhat self-belittling approach.

Both of them frowned, pondering the credibility of Lang Xing’s words.

After a long while, Yu Tian was the first to speak.

"Brother Qingxuan, if it’s truly like this, we might indeed need to cooperate with Can Yuan, and since he’s an envoy from Can Yuan, he wouldn’t dare bring false news."

"Otherwise, if Can Yuan deceives the entire Tianyun Dao’s demon pseudo-god forces, it wouldn’t just be about survival, but they’d be thoroughly obliterated."

Qingxuan nodded and said, "I am naturally aware of this."

As the Clan Leader of the Qingxuan Bird Clan, he wielded supreme authority and was not a person without extraordinary insight and sharp intellect. He thought of all the things Yu Tian had just considered.

Lang Xing chuckled, "Rest assured, gentlemen, Can Yuan wouldn’t dare act recklessly. If we did, wouldn’t we be leaving ourselves with no place for burial?"

"This is a transaction. It’s a mutually beneficial deal for all the demon pseudo-god forces under heaven and can severely damage the Evil Extermination Bureau. It’s just a game. Why wouldn’t we take the opportunity?"

"By the way, I heard you two have a common enemy named Qin An. If the Evil Extermination Bureau is severely damaged, do you still think revenge is difficult?"

As these words came out, especially when the name Qin An was mentioned, both Qingxuan and Yu Tian had a flicker of unusual emotion on their faces.

Both of their brothers had died at the hands of Qin An.

The desire for revenge is stronger than anyone else’s.

Qingxuan suddenly slapped the armrest of the throne, saying, "A few months from now will be the time when the Jinluan Holy Palace opens. By then, the Qingxuan Bird clan will certainly enter as a whole. Rest assured, I stand by my word and will not break it."

Yu Tian also admitted, "I will immediately send water creatures to the Seven-Colored Fish Gate to inform their senior officials, and they will go to the Ancient Battlefield ruins to notify the Sect Leader. You can relax."

The wolf demon laughed heartily after hearing this, "Since both of you can give such a response, I naturally feel at ease. Well, there are many things to do, and I also need to persuade other demon Pseudo-God powers, so I won’t say more. I’ll take my leave."

After saying this, the wolf demon grabbed a rough rag from the side, packed the blood food into several portions, strapped them to his back, and said, "Since you didn’t invite me to dinner this time, I’ll take some things with me and eat them on the road."

Qingxuan did not stop the wolf demon from doing this, allowing him to leave.

Soon, the silhouette of the wolf demon disappeared at the end of the cave.

After the wolf demon left, Yu Tian turned his gaze to Qingxuan and said.

"Brother Qingxuan, it seems the matter of killing Qin An has to be postponed for now."

Qingxuan nodded slightly and said, "It’s fine. Anyway, Qin An is right here. He can’t escape. Whether he dies sooner or later, it doesn’t matter. The matter of the Jinluan Holy Palace is more important now."

Both knew the importance of priorities.

After a brief discussion, Yu Tian immediately left.

He still needed to find the nearest aquatic beings to inform the Seven-Colored Fish Gate and relay this news.

Soon, the cave was left with only Qingxuan.

Qingxuan looked at the empty cave, clenched his fist, and sneered inwardly, "Just wait. Once I finish this matter, I will surely come to take your head, Qin An. I’ll let you live a bit longer, but don’t let yourself be killed by others."

As these words fell, the heavy atmosphere swept across the cave once again.

The cave fell into silence once more.

...

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and over a month had gone by.

During this time, the Evil Extermination Bureau remained as usual, without causing any significant disturbances.

Qin An caused a major incident, diverting everyone’s attention, but then it went silent as if no more turmoil would arise.

This left several people from the Evil Extermination Bureau speechless.

They always felt that Qin An was teasing them.

Every time he stirred up trouble and gained attention, he would inevitably fall silent for a while.

But when he emerged again, he would create another wave, which felt like highs and lows.

Although everyone felt speechless, they remembered Qin An, focusing their attention on him.

Gradually, they noticed Qin An’s pattern.

Recently, either he stayed in his room for long periods or went to Wu Yunfeng’s Hundred Medicine Hall for consultations, highlighting a sense of not sticking to his duties.

This deepened the puzzlement among several people.

After all, the Evil Extermination Bureau is meant to eliminate demons, yet someone like Qin An goes to heal people, which seems ridiculous.

Though everyone was puzzled, they didn’t inquire further.

After all, some things, if inquired about, will breach boundaries.

During this period, Qin An also lived quite comfortably.

No one disturbed him, and there were no trivial matters to exhaust him.

He focused intently on switching between being a healer and dancer, almost reaching a level of sleepless devotion, even feeling like he was no longer a Tong Daoshuai but just a regular person busy with daily affairs.

Though exceedingly tedious, he delighted in it.

Amidst the monotonous, tedious period, though extremely unbearable, enough to drive an ordinary person into endless madness.

For Qin An, however, he gained a lot during this time.

Qin An just walked out from the Confidential Library, holding two cultivation techniques, heading back to his residence.

As expected, he didn’t encounter any danger when returning home.

After Qin An closed the door, he immediately looked towards the void ahead.

In the void, smoke twisted, transforming like serpentine text.

Watching the text before him, Qin An couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile and sigh deeply.

"Finally reached Level Eighteen..."
