"Being lovesick is no good!"

In the conference room, Qin Jing remarked with a significant undertone.

Hearing Qin Jing's words, many of the councilors who originally planned to enjoy the spectacle silently walked away.

Indeed, from the Administration Bureau — fearing neither heaven nor earth. Before, it was just an act of defiance with a few words, but now it's really poking at wounds, bringing up past grievances!

The elder from the Ke family had a look of deep anger, deeply stung by this remark.

If previously he looked at Ji Jingqiu with associated dislike due to seeing a familiar shadow, now his gaze towards Qin Jing was of pure murderous intent.

The old man did not speak, but just stared coldly at Qin Jing.

Sometimes, silence can represent an attitude even more powerfully.

The people around were more or less baffled. It was understandable to support Ji Jingqiu, who was probably courting favor with the Administration Bureau.

But did Minister Qin really need to offend the representative of the Ke family to death?

Even if he was a member of the Qin family, the old man was just a representative. If this were to escalate, could he really expect a favorable outcome?

Perhaps the Qin family elders would even reprimand him for acting rashly.

Qin Jing smiled with narrowed eyes, seemingly not at all afraid of the threat from the elder of the Ke family.

This rendered the surrounding people suspicious, gradually questioning whether this was not merely Qin Jing's personal attitude, but...

The Administration Bureau?

"Hehe, if you two want to argue, it would be better to take it outside."

Dr. Chen appeared between the two, giving a friendly reminder,

"Elder Ning is watching in the next room."

Hearing this, the elder with the surname Ke snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze.

Under Dr. Chen's gaze, which seemed both friendly and warning, Qin Jing shrugged, silently remarking that the old man could really endure, then also turned his back.

It seemed that this matter had come to a temporary halt for the time being.

Someone coughed, breaking the silence of the room, and asked, "Dr. Chen, what does the night in this relic mean? Could it be dangerous?"

Dr. Chen nodded and explained, "Indeed, the location of the relic is in the 'Yanfu' of the Nine States. Once night falls, deceitful fog will randomly envelop this land, and without the protection of a strong one, it is easy to encounter danger."

"Deceit Fog?"

Someone sighed with a low voice, "Over the Nine States, it is not peaceful either; dangers abound everywhere."

Dr. Chen smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing for the Federation?"

The person from before laughed and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, if the Otherworld beyond the wilderness is chaotic, it's good news for the Federation.

Dr. Chen glanced at the time, raising his head to say,

"I apologize, everyone, but I have other matters to attend to and must take my leave."

He slowly departed with the gaze of those present, quickly arriving at another research room where a dozen researchers were bustling about.

"How is the information we've collected so far?" Dr. Chen approached a screen, calling to a passing researcher.

The researcher responded excitedly, "Boss, the fastest few are about to enter the Inner City area; we've already deciphered more than a dozen stone inscriptions."

Dr. Chen inquired, "Any traces of Marshal Mu found?"

"No, not at the moment; we've not retrieved keywords related to 'outsider' or 'Mu Shitian'."

Dr. Chen nodded.

Mu Shitian, also known as Marshal Mu.

The inheritance relic where these young Martial Artists were located was not in the 'Oasis' but one of the Nine States — 'Yanfu State'.

The reason the Four Great Divine Masters selected this place for the trial ground was related to Marshal Mu.

They believed that Marshal Mu had once visited this place and left some traces behind.

And this timing was after Hel was taken in by the Federation for protection!

Among the Seven Marshals, only Marshal Mu and Marshal He's whereabouts were unknown in the end, with the former at least having manifested in the mortal world before, but the latter had completely vanished without a trace, as if erased from this world.

For the Four Divine Masters, finding the traces of these two was probably one of the few things they were interested in at the moment.

"Boss, we found something interesting." The researcher flipped through the latest decoded Divine Text data with great interest and said, "The earliest name for Yanfu State was 'You State', and it was only later changed to Yanfu State. According to the timeline, this change happened shortly after Hel disappeared."

Dr. Chen nodded, unsurprised.

He had already known this in advance.

The results of the Heavenly Human Martial Artists from the Federation delving into the Otherworld were quite significant; Even in the Otherworld, the Heavenly Human Martial Artists were strong enough to defend a territory.

There, they have a special title — Divine Generals.

Like the Federation, each Divine General is entitled to govern and defend a region.

Currently, some master Martial Artists have smuggled themselves to other states, and the Federation's intelligence network is renewing rapidly every day.

Among them, two pieces of information are of great concern to the Federation's higher-ups.

The first is good news: even in the Nine States, the Wilderness Four Demons are regarded as Evil Gods and Demon Gods, with many forces considering them enemies.

But the second piece of news leaves the Federation's upper echelons in uneasy suspicion — the current intercepted information shows that the "Four Demons" wreaking havoc in the Nine States have not decreased to "Three Demons", but still remain "Four Demons", opposing and cooperating with each other.

But Hel has clearly been taken back to the Federation for suppression by the Three Marshals!

Dr. Chen's gaze turned profound, the Federation's temporary speculation being another Evil God has filled the vacancy, or an unknown twist has occurred.

...

...

Ji Jingqiu unearthed a bamboo over one meter long, and upon touching it, he felt the abundant Dharma and a strange force flowing within it.

This power seemed like it could be guided out.

But he currently had no time to attempt this.

Under the dim and drifting night, Ji Jingqiu raised his head to look up.
