Chapter 2726 - 47: The Seventh Son of the Lu Family (Part 2)

This Lu Qilang is at least a formidable adversary matching his own level, and may possess strong abilities to detect sound. Having already suffered at the hands of Quan Xizai in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, Jiang Wang is determined not to repeat his mistakes, cutting off any possibility in advance.

He is naturally curious about Lu Qilang’s mysterious purpose and is even more concerned about whether this matter involves the Heavenly Will targeting from the Monster Realm. But he will not risk his physical body.

Intelligence gathering can be patched together by Yuan Laoxi. There is no need to utilize the faceless cult’s power; subtle probing using Fruit and Flower Club’s influence will suffice.

Having laid the groundwork for so long and made so many efforts, all was to avoid unseen threats. Should he act hastily at this moment, he might accidentally run into something.

He scattered the sound, remaining silent in his true intention. Gathering his thoughts, Jiang Wang allowed himself to enter a ’thoughtless’ state, sinking into complete silence.

The sound of wind seemed to rise.

Yet the sound of wind seemed non-existent.

All divine wonders were gone; the Red Mirror stood plainly at the dressing table.

Suddenly, a tall, handsome demon appeared in this room with its windows and doors tightly shut.

The demon wore a brocade robe, a slender sword hung at his waist, his face as smooth as jade, yet displaying authority without anger.

His cold eyes were like a moonlit reflection, his gaze swept across the room like a clear stream washing white stones, giving an impression of dust being washed away. His movements were so casual, yet the aura of strength was palpable!

The earlier judgment based on the sound of the sword’s whistle was rather crude; now, feeling this aura up close made Jiang Wang realize something was amiss.

This demon of the Brocade Clothing Demon Race named Lu Qilang might be stronger than imagined. At this moment, he has no doubt, if the Red Mirror were to be exposed now and he attacked with his current physical state, he might not be able to defend himself.

He had just set up multiple escape exits for himself, moved out the Red Mirror, and hid it in the bustling city, intending to be a behind-the-scenes manipulator isolated from the world.

Yet so abruptly he encountered danger!

Fortunately, he left no traces in this room, did not come out to ’take a break’ due to safety, and from the beginning to the end, he sat silently in the Mirror World, enduring solitude that would be unbearable for ordinary people, cultivating self-discipline.

Fortunately... this demon wearing a brocade robe was not here specifically for him.

The tall figure only turned in the room briefly and then disappeared.

Jiang Wang remained seated, heart still like stagnant water.

He only kept the instinctual feeling towards the outside world—

That powerful aura turned abruptly, in just the blink of an eye, it swept through all the rooms in this inn.

And then it suddenly disappeared.

As for the snake demon thrown out of the window, the corpse on the long street was quickly gathered by the law enforcement officials.

This young Demon King named Lu Qilang seemed to be searching for something. His target was not the snake demon? Or perhaps... not solely the snake demon?

Jiang Wang restrained his curiosity, held back the urge to chase after answers.

After a long while, the law enforcement officials from Mo Yun City entered the inn to take some records, finding many bones in the snake demon’s room.

Amidst the noisy commotion, they eventually dispersed.

The room with the Red Mirror and tightly shut windows and doors, finally had no more visitors.

Darkness had fallen, the red moon ascended.

Jiang Wang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Then began to feel angry.

The room rented with Five Coin King Money, agreed upon a long-term annual lease. How could the innkeeper allow other demons to barge in at will?

Where is the authority in Demon clan laws? Do they not protect private residences?

If this were in Daqi...

Jiang Wang snorted.

He sighed again.

Lu Qilang’s intrusion and killing of the snake demon gave him a warning—regardless of how many intermediaries are involved or how hidden the processes are, escaping Cause and Effect and surviving in seclusion within the Demon clan territory is simply impossible.

Any random accident can disrupt his peace.

Especially sometimes, ’accident’ is a form of ’destiny.’

Now, he still does not know the background of Lu Qilang, why he has come, or if any major incidents have occurred in Mo Yun City. Chai Asi and the others are still too low-key to contact higher-level matters...

In this abruptly worsened situation, at least there is something positive—places diligently checked by this Lu Qilang, in the short term, should have no more demons coming to search.

...

...

The entire street of shops is now entirely under the control of Yuan Laoxi, and a few stores around Old Ape Tavern secretly changed ownership.

But the quiet room beneath Old Ape Tavern has instead become a simple quiet room.

The faceless cult gatherings hosted by Yuan Laoxi, held irregularly, typically take place in the Faceless Tribunal. It has no fixed location and can be a guest room or a private residence. Wherever the faceless god is placed, that is the Faceless Tribunal.

The organizational structure of the faceless cult is a hierarchical tree structure from top to bottom. The relationship between higher and lower levels is always one-way; peers do not know each other. Exposure at any level will be cut off at that level, preventing the spread of danger. In addition, the faceless idol representing the great Spirit God has a one-way sensing with each devout believer.

The highest faith of the entire faceless cult is naturally the Lord of Hell, King Yama, the Assassin’s God, the great ancient King of Bian Cheng.

Beneath stands the faceless Pope acting on the will of the Spirit God.

Further down are twelve Divine Envoys, representing the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit... just shy of placing the Saint Duke, Shenxia, King Zhao in there.

It seems whether it is Equality Country, Church of Lifeless, or Hell Has No Door, they could find familiarity within the faceless cult in this Monster Realm. Should any colleagues accidentally wander into the Monster Realm, they ought to feel a sense of kinship.
