Ling Xiyue remained by his side without moving for a second, her cheeks were slightly red, her eyes occasionally glanced at David secretly, her heart filled with shame and joy.
As the eldest daughter of the Lingxi family since childhood, she possessed extraordinary talent and unparalleled beauty, and was adored by many members of her clan.
He had seen countless geniuses and nobles throughout the heavens, but never before had anyone aroused such admiration, trust, and affection in him as David.
This person’s fighting ability is unrivaled among those of equals, his wisdom surpasses everyone, his alchemy skills surpass the ages, his temperament is as calm as the sea, he is firm in killing yet gentle in treating others.
He saved her life in a precarious situation and freed the entire Lingxi family from the shackles of inheritance. Such an extraordinary figure was worthy of him following with all his strength, even if it meant devoting himself to him and serving him for a lifetime. This will be the greatest blessing in his life.
During the banquet, the elders of various ethnic groups took turns delivering tribute speeches, their words were sincere and respectful, and no one dared to overreach or act presumptuously.
Everyone knows that from today, David will be the true behind-the-scenes leader of the Lingxi family, the only mainstay and future of the entire clan.
David welcomed everyone, drinking casually and chatting aimlessly. His every movement seemed indifferent, as if he was immersed in a lively and grand banquet, but in fact, his spirit had spread out, quietly enveloping the entire Lingxi Main City.
He appeared to be drinking, eating, chatting, and laughing, but in truth, he had seen everything within a thousand mile radius, from the smallest gust of wind to spiritual energy fluctuations and unusual movements of people.
He knew better than anyone that by single-handedly instigating a bloody war between the two top powers, Si Lu and Xuan Qiu, and overthrowing the old order in the heavens, he had become an enemy that both races wanted to kill.
Now hiding in the Lingxi Region, it seems peaceful and quiet, but in reality, undercurrents are turbulent and danger lurks everywhere, with countless crises of espionage, snooping, and assassination lurking all around.
Noise and crowds are always the best cover for the undercurrent of chaos.
As the night wore on, the party became more lively, filled with the sound of drums and music, laughter and chatter. Everyone was immersed in the joy of the family’s rebirth, without realizing that outside the mansion and in the shadows of the main city, a terrifying killing intent had been quietly permeating.
On the west side of Lingxi main city, there was an abandoned ancient courtyard, far from the bustling city center and looking deserted.
This place has been abandoned for thousands of years, uninhabited, with broken walls and ruins overgrown with weeds and bluestones. The spiritual energy was mixed and there were few people around. This place is very safe from the main city’s regular patrol routes and is an excellent hiding place.
The night was pitch black, and seven figures, completely clad in black night battle attire, masked, and with their auras concealed as much as possible, were quietly hiding in the shadows of the collapsed walls.
The seven individuals exuded a terrifying and furious aura, without a trace of excess spiritual energy emitting from their bodies. Their movements are smooth and their rationale is profound.
Each of them was an elite cultivator of the ninth rank of the Great Luo realm. Their movements were uniform and disciplined, their eyes were as cold as blades, and they carried the steel-blooded ferocity of those who had long been assassins, spies, and fighters.
It was a top-class spy team secretly sent by the Si Lu family to infiltrate the various regions of the Twenty-Five Heavens.
After the crushing defeat of the Silu and Xuanqiu clans, the loss of their elite troops, and the collapse of their hegemony, the two clans, although greatly weakened, still refused to surrender.
They launched a massive search for David, determined to destroy this young man, who had stirred up deep hatred between the two clans and shaken their millennia-old foundations, into dust and ashes, to vent their boundless resentment.
This seven-person undercover team was a top-class reconnaissance team formed by the Si Lu family at great expense and using their remaining elite troops. They are dedicated to infiltrating various neutral territories to find out David’s whereabouts and investigate the movements of various forces.
The leader, a tall and dashing figure with a terrifying aura, was a veteran spy commander at the peak of the ninth rank of the Great Luo realm, named Si Ying.
His hands were covered in blood. He has dedicated his life to assassination, espionage, and infiltration. His sneaking skills are unmatched in the entire law enforcement field. He had avoided patrols and searches from the top powers in the sky several times. He is experienced, thorough, ruthless, and cunning.
“Tonight is the Lingxi clan’s grand banquet. With everyone relaxing and patrols loose, it’s the perfect opportunity for us to gather information.”
Si Ying lowered her voice, her tone hoarse and cold, without the slightest emotion. His gaze fell on the brightly lit and bustling Lingxi mansion in the distance, and he slowly gave his orders.
“Based on the information gathered previously, the Lingxi family has been acting strangely recently, with an increase in alchemy aura and dramatic changes in spiritual energy. The entire family is overjoyed, which must mean that an extraordinary event has occurred.”
The suspicious young man who used the pseudonym Chen Xuan was most likely inside the Lingxi residence.
“Everyone, listen up! Infiltrate various areas, avoiding both visible and hidden guards. Contact your internal contacts to verify the target’s identity, location, entourage, actual combat strength, and Lingxi family’s attitude.”
Once the target is confirmed, immediately send core intelligence information. There is no need to act rashly; wait for the arrival of the main family reinforcements.
The six spies bowed in unison to receive the order, their auras completely hidden in the void, their figures like ghost shadows, instantly scattering in all directions, taking advantage of the night and the shadows of the buildings to quietly infiltrate towards the Lingxi main residence.
