It wasn’t until later, after Zhang Xiaoman brought back part of the Dark Star Alliance’s intel, that Su Changqing and the others finally learned that these Demon Series and Calamity Species Alien Species were called the Demon Clan and the Calamity Clan in the Second Universe, and were races that were particularly hated everywhere.

The Calamity Clan was still manageable; although they were extremely dangerous, they were far less exaggerated than the Demon Clan. Their numbers were actually not that large, and most of them parasitized powerful Wild Beasts, but once they were allowed to spread onto a Life Planet, it wouldn’t take long before that planet was torn to pieces.

The Demon Clan was different. Because of the existence of the supreme Demon Lord, very few people in the Second Universe were willing to provoke this race on their own initiative.

In that universe, there was a saying: the size of the universe is limited, and its limit is the limit of how far the Demon Realm surrounds us. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Yes, in the Second Universe, aside from the four Star Domains everyone originally knew about, there was in fact a fifth Star Domain that was not explicitly marked on the Star Map, but truly existed—this was the Demon Realm.

The Demon Realm did not exist the same way the other four Star Domains did, each with its own spatial territory. Its existence was established outside all Star Domains. If the Second Universe was a balloon, then the Demon Realm was that layer of rubber on the outside containing the air in the balloon.

So, many times, even though everyone knew how terrifying the Demon Clan was, in reality, as ordinary people, they rarely ran into the Demon Clan, because most of the time the Demon Clan moved within the Demon Realm, that is, the edge space of the Second Universe.

But even so, the Demon Clan’s powerful Undying characteristic and Strength still cast an eternal, Immortal shadow over the people of that universe. Especially the Demon Lord’s existence made people taboo to even speak of this race. Sometimes, even when a Planet was invaded by the Demon Clan, as long as it wasn’t an extinction-level crisis, the people there would rather turn a blind eye, just drive those Demons away, or simply lead the entire Planet’s population and run, unwilling to casually kill them for fear of angering that existence.

Now, when Ziwei heard that people on Water Blue Star actually dared to keep Demon Clan in captivity, of course she was utterly incredulous. This wasn’t just because the Demon Clan could self-evolve and break through any limits at any time, but also because of the influence of that existence. This kind of behavior was a serious felony violating interstellar law where they came from.

"Looks like those people must have contained Demon Clan monsters in deeper levels underground. Now, for some unknown reason, containment has failed, and they’ve even evolved into powerful Advanced Shadow Demons that are hard to Control, which led to the situation completely spiraling out of control."

Su Changqing summed up the cause and effect of the incident. Put bluntly, this whole affair was still the Hurricane Bureau courting death on their own, and now the entire Anti-Demon Alliance was paying the price for them.

"Aiya aiya, you people are really insane. Forget it, forget it, let’s not talk about that now. Little Trickster, hurry up and go find Naphaya. He’s a Divine Radiance Holy Angel of the Holy Angel Clan and also an Upper Control Level. Even if that hidden Demon Clan is Upper Control Level, it’s definitely not his match!"

Ziwei urged Su Changqing to set off quickly and go ask Naphaya to act.

Naphaya, as the number one combat force in the organization, was even stronger than her, this newly advanced Upper Control Level. If you wanted him to make a move, ordinary people definitely couldn’t invite him.

Of course, this was also why Ziwei had been in seclusion to break through earlier. Although Zhang Xiaoman had made a trip back from the Lan Family Forbidden Land, he had not met Ziwei.

So for the moment Ziwei still didn’t know that the number one combat force in the organization had actually changed hands; she still thought Zhang Xiaoman was only a Middle Control Level.

Even having imprinted a fourth Star Pattern didn’t necessarily mean you could break through to Upper Control Level. After all, it had only been a few years since that guy broke through to Middle Control Level. Ziwei had never heard of anyone who could break through two realms in just a few short years—that would be way too ridiculous.

On the other side, after making a trip to the Original Realm, Su Changqing successfully met Naphaya. Unfortunately, even with him personally going, he still couldn’t persuade this big shot to come, and only received a single feather from the other party.

"What is this feather? Where is Naphaya himself?"

Ziwei looked at the feather in her hand, a bit confused.

Su Changqing looked helplessly at that feather shining with seven-colored light and said:

"Naphaya is in seclusion trying to break through right now and can’t get away for the moment. This is one of his wings. He told us to summon him through the wing after we find that Demon Clan. He’ll personally come to wipe that thing out."

Hearing that he hadn’t refused to come help, Ziwei finally let out a sigh of relief.

Now that they had a Holy Angel’s promise, she believed the situation shouldn’t get too bad. In any case, the Holy Angel’s power that restrained the Demon Clan was simply too strong—so strong that even the Demon Lord was wary of it, to the point of personally wiping out that race.

"The problem now is that the monster is hiding three thousand meters underground, maybe even deeper. How are we supposed to find it? And during this time, how many civilians inside the Shadow Barrier will fall victim to the Shadow Demons..."

Su Changqing rubbed his brow. While he was thinking, a hand suddenly slapped onto his shoulder.

"Changqing, did you forget? We still have the Spokesperson Plan."

"Uncle Ye? You’re here too!"

Seeing who it was, a hint of joy appeared on Su Changqing’s face.

"Hehe, I’m the Anti-Demon Alliance’s Council President after all. With something this big happening here, how could I not come? The alarms at the Alliance headquarters are almost loud enough to blow my head up."

Ye Yunxiu said with a laugh.

Su Changqing nodded and said:

"Uncle Ye, you’re right. In the Spokesperson Plan, we do have an organizational Spokesperson inside the Hurricane Bureau. He should know something about the underground secret base the Hurricane Bureau secretly built. I remember his name seems to be..."

"His name is Beelu. I say, Changqing, you can’t just focus on Cultivation and stop paying attention to intel. Beelu is the most famous Super Hero in the Hurricane Bureau. Americans all call him ’Hurricane Captain’. His Strength isn’t weak now either. On those combat power rankings people post online, he can rank in the top fifty worldwide."

"Top fifty..."

Su Changqing muttered softly, then shook his head indifferently. Clearly he didn’t recognize the accuracy or authority of this so-called global combat power ranking.

Maybe in the eyes of those netizens, it was a result produced by "professionals" after lots of data comparison and analysis, but in the core circle of real Transcendents like them, this ranking was still a bit too much of a joke.

At the very least, many powerhouses in the Star Alliance were completely unknown to outsiders, so there was no way such a ranking could be accurate.

With Ye Yunxiu’s reminder, Su Changqing immediately contacted Beelu via his wristwatch.

He didn’t directly go looking for Beelu in person. With his status, Beelu didn’t have any way to add his contact info, and the two had never contacted each other on the Star Network.

Su Changqing found Beelu through the Canglan Department. When Beelu appeared before Su Changqing, he looked a bit incredulous, excited that he could actually meet a Star Lord of the Star Alliance.

"Star Lord, according to my investigation, the Hurricane Bureau shouldn’t know about the underground secret base. This whole thing was very likely set up by those politicians themselves. As the current core figure inside the Hurricane Bureau, I’ve never heard of any such thing. Unless Lune has already started to suspect me, otherwise he wouldn’t hide something this important from me."

Beelu revealed a piece of news that took everyone by surprise.
