Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 615: Opportunity of Taoism (Seeking Subscription)

"Opportunity? Are you talking about the Daoist Plane?" Pei Yan flicked the ash off his cigarette and asked in return.

Gu Shenghui nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's right. Do you remember the Celestial Sword Manor I mentioned to you before?"

Upon hearing this name, Pei Yan was momentarily stunned, and after a while, he suddenly realized, "Oh! That place where you guys initially seized the Disaster Legion's source fragments, could possibly be an infiltrated sect of the Daoist Plane? It's been several years; hasn't the Daoist Plane eradicated it yet?"

"Hmph!" Gu Shenghui snorted coldly, then sighed and said, "That's prejudice for you! Compared to the Hell Plane, the Daoist Plane may not really hold our strength in high regard. Just based on our one-sided words and the fact that we already have grudges with this sect, the Six Sects of the Immortal Palace are reluctant to step forward and exterminate the sect as proof. After all, the battles between the Six Sects of the Immortal Palace and the Eighteen Courts of the Underworld have reached a critical moment, and during this period, the Celestial Sword Manor has contributed significantly without showing signs of rebellion."

Pei sneered coldly and mocked, "Hesitant and indecisive, sooner or later it will lead to disaster! What is this Eighteen Courts of the Underworld organization?"

"It's equivalent to the Divine Desire in our world. In fact, these sects were also prestigious righteous factions a thousand years ago. They initiated the first infiltration action on the Plane of Foundations, which, however, triggered a chain reaction that almost caused the Daoist Plane to collapse. Although the origin of the world should also bear part of the responsibility, you know how it goes."

Gu Shenghui said this with a wink at Pei Yan, who smiled knowingly, "I understand; these high-and-mighty, all-powerful people will never admit their mistakes."

Just as he finished speaking, Pei Yan frowned, suddenly clutched his chest, and coughed dryly. Gu Shenghui quickly got up and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Pei Yan waved him off and pointed to his own body, indicating it was nothing and motioned for him to continue.

"As you said, she's not taking the blame, so someone has to. The ancient sects became the scapegoats of this incident. The true circumstances of the great war were sealed, and the Daoist Plane's origin reassembled the current Immortal Palace to maintain the balance between the world and the plane. Meanwhile, the remnants of those ancient sects, nursing resentment and reluctance, went underground, passing down to form the present Eighteen Courts of the Underworld. The Dark Council of the Magic Plane and the rebellious forces of the Spirit Monster Plane were essentially formed from this. Now evidence shows they've already secretly linked with the Disaster Legion, known as Bloodshed."

Relieving the pain caused by the turmoil of the origin within Lin Junzhao, Pei Yan extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and inquired, "Then what is the opportunity you mentioned?"

"The once every five hundred years Sword Conference of the Six Sects of the Immortal Palace is about to begin. The Celestial Sword Manor is also one of the candidate sects vying to enter the Six Sects this time. The Daoist Plane has widely invited top powers from various planes to attend. Our Investigation Office, due to its famous reputation established in the Hell Plane and experience fighting directly with the Disaster Legion, has been specially invited to attend the conference as observers."

Upon saying this, Gu Shenghui extinguished his cigarette butt and said solemnly, "This time, it's not just about attending a conference; it's also about our Investigation Office representing not just us but also superhumans from the Plane of Foundations appearing in front of major influencing forces of the four major planes, so the office places great importance on this action and is deploying core forces with all-out efforts."

"Moreover, after this conference, the major planes are going to launch a final decisive battle against the dark forces within their respective planes. Also, during this time, the present world is fully chasing the whereabouts of Divine Desire members, but strangely, not just us but investigation offices across countries haven't had significant success. Those captured are just small fry, far from matching the strength this organization previously displayed. We suspect they have already secretly retreated to other planes, working on unknown plans."

Gu Shenghui and Pei Yan exchanged a glance, simultaneously recalling that man, with Pei Yan smacking his lips and pondering, "Recently, the Disaster Legion of the Hell Plane is also behaving oddly. In previous fierce battles, they deployed many high-rankers, causing us considerable trouble. The current stalemate and their surfaced strength do not match the ambition they released."

By the end, Pei Yan showed excitement and joy on his face, "I think this conference trip will be quite exciting." Saying this, he subconsciously touched his right eye and murmured, "Perhaps I can even elevate the Power of the Six Paths within me to a higher level."

"I'm not sure about exciting, but facing risks is a certainty. From the experiences since I came to this world, we are bound to face a lot of cold shoulders there too."

Pei Yan turned his head and smiled, "What is the office's stance on this?"

"What stance? Of course, it's a firm counterattack." Gu Shenghui said, tapping his fingers on the table with a light laugh, "You've taken a good lead; we should have done this long ago! Being overly polite before didn't earn us respect but rather repeated humiliation. Without strength, our words didn't carry weight, but now we have this strength! Furthermore, the office's top brass have discussed and decided to establish a full cooperation relationship with Lin Junzhao within you."

"How come the office isn't listening to the suggestions from those plane avatars anymore?" Pei Yan asked, puzzled.

"Their suggestions? Ultimately, their suggestions are based on maintaining their world's safety. Also, from the investigation during this period, the thinning of the Plane Barrier seems to have other hidden truths. It's related to the expansion of our world's main source, but it's not the primary cause of the problem."

"I told you they were bewitching you! And you didn't listen! Didn't listen! This is a conspiracy by Bloodshed against me! Because I am a counterforce to it, the weaker I become, the stronger it grows! That Candle Dragon is something inexplicable! Those four idiots are pigs to be so easily bewitched; you all also fell into a trap, betraying your primary source; you're all even stupider than pigs!" Just as Gu Shenghui finished speaking, Lin Junzhao's complaining voice exploded like thunder in Pei Yan's mind.

Watching Pei Yan holding his head and swaying, Gu Shenghui got up and asked, "What's wrong with you?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"It's nothing. That woman is calling us pigs." Pei Yan rested his elbows on the table, rubbing his head with a bitter smile.

"Let her curse. Making mistakes means getting cursed." Gu Shenghui, knowing the woman's temper, didn't dare to say more, sat back in his seat, and continued, "This is how things are. You prepare and return to the present world tomorrow. You get a two-day leave to visit your parents, and then we prepare to set off to the Daoist Plane."

"Only two days!" Pei Yan said in some disappointment.

"You should understand the tight schedule and urgent tasks. One day for us is a month there. How about this, you make a list of items you need, and I'll hand it over to Engineer Li. He'll prepare what you need in advance, allowing you an extra day back home, but three days of leave is the maximum."

"Alright, I'll finish up my tasks on hand and leave with you tomorrow."
