The tall man in white clothing was exactly the Demon Elephant that Wang Xuan had been monitoring. After joining a hunting team, he quickly showcased his abilities, thus becoming the vice-captain.

After learning what he wanted, Jin Xiang established his own hunting team and occasionally went out hunting, always returning with a full load due to his presence.

"Isn't hunting just for making money? Once you earn money, you should naturally enjoy it well." Jin Xiang patted a gentle woman's shoulder; Chen Rou was his admirer. The two had become close recently and had confirmed their romantic relationship.

"What enjoyment? Shouldn't you be saving money to buy a big house? When we have kids in the future, we could send them to the best schools and give them a good life."

Chen Rou had some opinions about Jin Xiang's extravagant ways. The money he risked his life to earn was being spent so casually, which always seemed bad. Just treating his friends to lunch cost this man five hundred thousand Star Yuan, and if someone borrowed money by merely asking, he would lend it immediately as long as he trusted them, regardless if it was a million or ten million.

"Money can always be earned." Jin Xiang knew his strength well; he could spend millions or tens of millions without hesitation, being righteous and generous with the spirit of a heroic outlaw, so he was very well-known in the hunting team.

As for children, he really did not have any expectations. As a Demon Immortal, it was very difficult to have offspring with human women.

Seeing Chen Rou glaring angrily, Jin Xiang coughed and said, "It's just a house; I'll buy it. How about a big villa?"

Having a big villa would make rolling in the sheets more convenient, saving Chen Rou from always worrying about hidden cameras in hotels that made her always so bashful.

"You big silly bear, how can you be so clumsy." Although Chen Rou said this, she liked this man in her heart. He was generous and bold, lacking the petty nature of ordinary people, yet not without wisdom.

To describe him, using "the greatest wisdom comes in the guise of stupidity" would not be inappropriate.

"Really? I think it's quite good." Jin Xiang laughed, but after receiving a message on his personal terminal, his smile gradually faded. He sent a message through the optical computer, preparing to leave.

"Xiao Rou, I just pre-booked a villa in the Jade Mountain villa area. Can you go take a look? If we're satisfied, we'll buy it.

I have to go out for a while; I probably won't be back in a day or two." Jin Xiang said.

Chen Rou was a little nervous. She was also a member of the hunting team, and the hunting team had no tasks these days, so obviously, Jin Xiang was leaving for other matters.

"Don't play the hero, come back safe and sound." Chen Rou pretended to be calm, although she was quite an emotionally fragile woman inside.

"Don't worry." Jin Xiang waved and left.

Half an hour later, in a spacious conference room, seven or eight people were seated around a round table made of pure wood. There were both men and women, all Demon Immortals.

Jin Xiang ranked among the top three in cultivation, and he asked, "Yu Meiren, is it necessary to handle this matter in such a way?"

He had just received news that a young Silver Ape had been abducted, its lineage strong and noble, its ancestor a Demon Saint who died in battle. Now the race, although not very powerful, holds a substantial position.

This young Silver Ape was expected to become a pillar of the Silver Ape Race in the future, thus receiving much attention. Now being taken, naturally, demons were outraged.

That Silver Ape was nine out of ten times hidden in Changming City, but it was hidden so well that they didn't even know where it was. As a result, the Silver Ape Race mobilized forces to prepare a beast horde as a threat to force humans to hand over the little Silver Ape.

Their task was to coordinate from inside and outside, simultaneously searching for the little Silver Ape's whereabouts and determining the force responsible for the abduction.

The beautiful woman with silver hair leaned against the wooden support and said calmly, "As members of the Demon Race dependent on the Profound Turtle Demon Saint in the North, of course, we need to listen to orders. It's not like we're being asked to risk our lives; what's so difficult about it?"

However, Jin Xiang and several others didn't see it that way. They had entered human cities to experience life and accumulate wisdom, with human civilization being far more advanced than the loose structure of the Demon Race in every aspect.

They were quite satisfied with their current life. Any incident would mean disrupting their current network of relationships by revealing their identities as demons. This made them unwilling and conflicted.

"Although we occasionally clash with humans, we are not in opposition. In many ways, there's even cooperation; even entering the city had the tacit approval of the Immortals.

Let's hope this action won't cause significant casualties, or it might have a negative impact. If true opposition arises, the Demon Race's power doesn't compare to humans; we need to understand this."

The other Demon Immortals nodded. Although many forces existed internally, the overall power was unified; this was a bottom line not to be crossed.

They already had enough external troubles; if internal strife were to arise, the Mother Star wouldn't survive much longer.

"Let's proceed; the higher-ups naturally have their considerations. We don't need to worry unnecessarily." Yu Meiren spoke.

Their conversation was all through Divine Thought communication, making eavesdropping impossible. Although the meeting discussions were intense, the entire conference room remained utterly silent.

...

"What a pity."

Wang Xuan, though aware of the congregation of these Demon Immortals, had no clue what they were discussing, as vision, hearing, and touch could not penetrate Divine Thought communication.

He instinctively felt that Changming City would soon be in turmoil, and it was only then that the contents of these Demon Immortals' discussions would surface.

"If it involves a major crisis leading to social upheaval in Changming City, I might have to intervene." Wang Xuan thought to himself.

Several hours later, Wang Xuan again received information about the Silver Ape. In shared senses mode, he saw it restrained on a table, with its limbs and head locked in place.

This little monkey had an extraordinary lineage, and Wang Xuan had an instinctual hunch that the actions of the Demon Immortals were very likely related to it.

The little ape saw a man in a tight protective suit approaching. It merely screamed as it watched itself being handled, with various instruments analyzing its body, drawing blood for tests, and even having nano-robots entering its body.

"This appears to be a large laboratory." Wang Xuan commanded creatures to scout the building, discovering that the Siam Mansion belonged to Fist Emperor Valley, a company with a market value of a hundred trillion Star Yuan and an extensive commercial scale.

Fist Emperor Valley was a top-tier power in Southeast Asia, its founding elder known as the Siam King, a figure of the same era as the Cyan Emperor in Hua District, second only to the Immortals, albeit just a step below.

Such power in Southeast Asia was almost unchallenged, with everyone having to pay some respect.

"Proceed cautiously." Wang Xuan aimed to radiate his Spiritual Cultivation over its staff; it was all up to fate what he could grasp through the five senses. He didn't force anything. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Finding his curiosity overwhelming, Wang Xuan couldn't help but smile, but he was mentally prepared. Unless a True Immortal approached the host of his Mental Power, detection was unlikely, and even if discovered, so what? Mind Projection could transform in countless ways, and after self-destruction, finding him would be challenging.

Without enough capability to take risks, Wang Xuan wasn't that inflated.

Several hours later, hundreds at Siam Mansion had been possessed by Wang Xuan's Mind Projection. This process was silent, akin to a computer virus invasion, unbeknownst to the hosts, let alone external observers.

The shared sensory information of one employee after another synchronized with Wang Xuan's mind, enabling him to fully understand Siam Mansion, making it easy for him to topple it if required.

Several Demon Immortals in Changming City had gone out, entering forests, though they quickly returned, but Wang Xuan still noticed their contact with numerous demon beasts in the primitive forests.

Within hours, the forests began showing activity, brewing some plot. Observing from a distance, Wang Xuan comprehended everything, feeling like a mastermind orchestrating things behind the scenes.

His unconscious growth and his constantly improving cultivation turned him into a local giant, making past ideas of someone else shouldering responsibilities obsolete because it should be his duty as an Immortal.

Observing changes across Changming City from a god's-eye view, Wang Xuan quietly awaited the wind and clouds to shift, immersing himself in cultivation, inhaling and exhaling Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
