Chen Lun strolled on the streets of Huaqing Town.
Feeling the peaceful and lively atmosphere, he smiled knowingly.
Before we knew it, we arrived at the square area.
There are many vendors here, most of whom are residents who went bankrupt due to the red disaster. After the town returned to peace, they started small businesses to make a living.
The most popular one was a commercial horse-drawn carriage, with many people gathered around it.
A man in a top hat stood beside the car, negotiating with several mine owners, apparently purchasing a local specialty stone. Four or five guys were directing the workers to neatly stack large wooden boxes filled with rough green raw stones on the open space beside them.
Chen Lun pulled down the brim of his hat, stood in the distance with his silver cane, and watched the scene silently.
He cast a glance at the top-hat merchant who was buying the raw stone, and the next second, the other party's information appeared on the panel.
'Conspiracy Faction Sequence 8-Locksmith, member of the Rotef family.'
Chen Lun chuckled.
This was the information he had spent several hours acquiring after arriving in Huaqing Town.
The remnants of the Rotev family hid their identities here and turned into a small chamber of commerce, specializing in purchasing cheap local raw stones... They announced to the outside world that they would cut and finely process the stones, and make them into cheap jewelry to sell.
In fact, it was just a cover-up to avoid being hunted down by the Kangkai Council.
At the same time, it is also to avoid official liquidation.
The battle between the Black Knife Brotherhood and the Murder Club has come to an end. They no longer have the capital to "live in the sun", but have become the "culprits" of many mysterious and harmful incidents caused by the former mutual aid society.
This is completely different from the treatment the club received when it became the "Kangai Parliament" and secured a seat in one of the seven orthodox churches. This also perfectly illustrates what "the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit" means.
It is just like this: those who have lost power are condemned by everyone.
Chen Lun had no sympathy for them and even wanted to take action now.
But he held back.
A good hunter is always patient.
Another two hours passed.
The member of the Rotf family who was responsible for purchasing the raw stones handed over the transportation work to the hired men, and he got on the carriage and left from one side of the square.
Chen Lun changed his appearance and became an ordinary gentleman, following behind the carriage.
During this process, he discovered that the member of the Rotf family left the carriage halfway, used his locksmith skills to pass through the window of the carriage, and flashed through the window of a house on the side of the road.
Chen Lun stopped and watched the carriage go away, then he approached the inconspicuous house.
There were many pedestrians around, but no one noticed anything.
He was outside the residential wall, and with a snap of his fingers, a small white snake transformed from his index finger crawled into the window and entered. Through his five senses, Chen Lun shared the perception of the small white snake and saw the scene inside clearly.
The merchant in the top hat went up to the second floor, set up a prayer ceremony in a room, and then took out a black ritual dagger and cut open the space.
'It turns out that the real base is hidden in a corner of the spirit world, similar to the cemetery where Mr. Byers often hangs out... This town is just the area where they are active outside.'
Outside the wall dozens of meters away, Chen Lun thought to himself.
Just as the top hat merchant was about to step into the dark space, the little white snake on the ground jumped up and silently drilled into the back of the merchant's neck.
This person was totally unaware and walked into his own base with the snake parasite.
Chen Lun leaned against the wall with a smile on his face, monitoring silently.
But at this moment, he felt a warning from his spiritual intuition that an unknown danger was approaching him...
"Um?"
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
"The Rothfu family is still hiding their strength? No... it shouldn't be them."
While observing the snake parasite, he took out playing cards to do divination and detect the source of danger.

Spirit world.
Some hidden corner.
In the dark cave.
Two men in black smocks sat on wooden chairs with a bonfire lit in front of them, and seven or eight middle-sequence family members stood beside them.
"Lord Thorin, Lord Messis..."
The top-hatted merchant walked up to the two men and saluted respectfully.
"What is the situation in the present world?"
The middle-aged man on the left asked in a deep voice.
"Nothing has happened yet... The Kangkai Council is busy holding meetings and gradually participating in the various parts of the empire. The shelters are working with the wild supernaturals to attack the red disaster area, so they have no time to care about us. However, the Sun Church has already controlled the entire Gem State, and it is easy for them to find us now."
The top-hatted merchant took off his hat and said with his head lowered.
The old man on the right coughed twice, took a breath for a moment, and then ordered:
"We still have to be more cautious. The family's power has been exhausted in this battle for the seat. The only six saints left have gone to the Dark End, leaving us to operate in the human world... If something unexpected happens, the Rotev family will completely lose its source of intelligence on the human world and will be in a very passive position."
"Yes, Master Moses."
The top hat merchant responded solemnly.
"wrong!"
The old man named Moses suddenly stood up, his expression slightly changed.
The middle-aged man Thorin standing nearby also noticed something unusual. He immediately raised his hand and waved it. The dark shadow on the ground turned into a quagmire, instantly wrapping up the merchant in the top hat, and brought him to his side like a huge hand.
"Your Excellencies?!"
The top hat merchant was horrified, wondering why the two top members of the family suddenly attacked him.
Thorin and Moses both looked gloomy.
Suddenly, the shadow swamp bulged up and turned into a sharp knife, piercing the back of the neck of the top hat merchant. The suffocating feeling of death immediately made the low-sequence extraordinary person of the Rotf family scream.
"ah-"
But the next second, accompanied by the hissing of snakes, a group of white snakes bloomed from behind his head, blocking the attack of the shadow knife with a clanging sound.
"You damned piece of trash! You didn't even know you were being parasitized by an outsider!"
Thorin shouted angrily.
The shadow knife suddenly exploded, turning into dozens of black thin lines, which wrapped around the snakes and then shrank. With a few creaking sounds, all the snakes were cut off, and the top hat merchant fell to his knees on the ground, crawling and trembling.
He finally realized how big a disaster he had caused!
However, no matter how hard he tried to recall, he could not remember when he was ambushed by the strange supernatural being, but this incident had already happened, which meant that the family's secret base was exposed!
"All family members, take action immediately. That strange extraordinary person won't be too far away. Find him and kill him! We must not let him leak the information!"
The old man Moses said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
The seven or eight middle-sequence extraordinary people on the side responded.
boom!
The house suddenly exploded, and ten shadows flew out from the door, surrounding Chen Lun who was leaning against the wall.
The pedestrians around screamed in fear and fled in all directions.
The guards patrolling the street couldn't help but shudder. After seeing this scene, they retreated one after another, whistling, thinking that they must report the matter immediately.
Extraordinary!
This is a turmoil caused by the extraordinary people!
"Who are you?"
Thorin floated above Chen Lun's head and asked coldly.
The smock she was wearing rustled, and a shadow fell from it, like a long curtain trailing on the ground. Beside her was the old man, Moses.
"Your Majesty, you are the only remaining saints of the Rothfu family..."
Chen Lun raised his head slightly and gave a polite smile.
He looked around and saw eight members of the Rotf family standing on the wall and beside him, all of them were middle-sequence transcendents. According to the list given to him by the Speaker, most of the remaining members were here.
"I am Tapia, the Gold Cup member of the Kangkai Parliament."
Chen Lun's face had changed at this moment, and the other party did not recognize him, so he casually mentioned the name of a competitor.
"Murder Club Flies..."
Thorin looked down at him indifferently and waved his hand.
"Go to hell!"
All the members of the Rotf family surrounded and attacked together, and the shadow directly covered the area, as if night had fallen.
Chen Lun pretended to be a little panicked, then turned around and ran away.
After narrowly avoiding several blows from the shadow guillotine, he slapped away the rubble from the collapsed wall and ran wildly into the distance.
Thorin coughed twice, secretly saying "damn the injury", and disappeared from the spot, disappearing into the invisible form and chasing after Chen Lun. Another saint incarnation and other members of the Rotev family also chased after him.

On the street of Huaqing Town.
Ryan and Tapia were taking a leisurely walk. When they passed an alley, the air was vibrating and Kvass walked out and chuckled at them.
"Things went smoothly. I went to Fossil City in person and delivered the secret letter to the Church of the Sun... I think it won't be long before His Majesty Terrence's light clone will parachute in through the 'Daytime Obelisk'."
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette, handed one to Tapia, and then lit one for himself.
"It's already the afternoon of the second day of the assessment. As a Destiny Path Extraordinary, Jack has most likely arrived in this town... But he probably never expected that what's waiting for him is not just the two half-crippled saint incarnations of the Rotef family."
Tapia puffed out the mist and smiled faintly.
Ms. Ryan raised her hand to fan away the smoke, frowned slightly, and complained:
"You two are really ungentlemanly."
"Feel sorry."
Kvass and Tapia shrugged but made no move to put out their cigarettes.
"Jack is going to have a good drink."
Upon seeing this, Ms. Ryan rolled her eyes and sighed calmly.
The two men beside him smiled at each other.
At this time.
The three of them noticed something and turned around to look at the end of the street.
Countless pedestrians fled in panic, screaming, as if something terrible was chasing them.
"what happens?"
Tapia frowned.
The other two shook their heads.
Soon, they saw a strange man running towards them, waving his hands and shouting:
"Congressman Gervas! Congressman Ryan! Come help me!"
“?!”
The three of them didn't know each other at all, but the other party called out their names.
Eight pitch-black shadows spread out from the end and transformed into human shapes and surrounded them. At the same time, two men with extremely powerful auras appeared directly behind them and attacked with expressionless faces.
"Kangkai Council! You all shall die!"
A cold voice came.
Gervas, Ryan and Tapia finally woke up from their trance, their expressions twisted, and they burst out with their own extraordinary powers.
The Rothfu family!
The incarnation of the saint!
And that strange man...
Jackspeight!
They instantly connected all of this and figured out what was going on.
"Damn it Jack! He deliberately led the enemy towards us!"
boom!
The violent explosion was accompanied by a loud clanging sound.
Tapia was the first to fly backwards, spitting blood. Before he could transform into a shadow to avoid damage, he smashed several tables and chairs on the roadside.
Gvas and Ryan were not in a better condition either. They were attacked by the incarnations of the saints. They were also injured at the first encounter and fell to the ground.
The next second, the three heard Jack, who was in disguise, shouting with great emotion:
"Congressman Gervas! Congressman Ryan! Cheer up! We can definitely get rid of the Rotef family's trash! For the parliament! For honor! Ole Gee!"
Except for the last sentence which they totally didn't understand, the rest were very clear.
This guy!
Deliberately fanning the flames here!
Damn it!
The three were almost so angry that they vomited blood, but the attack from the incarnation of the saint did not give them any time to breathe and came again!
