466 Dilemma 2

For the time being, since Tang Fei was hiding here, he might have some other purpose, so he should not be making any big moves.

When he returned, he would report to Gu An and ask someone to monitor him.

Lu Yuan then bade farewell to the few of them, ignoring Gilian's somewhat resentful eyes, and boarded the fighter plane with Benjamin and the others.

....

Late at night, Lu Yuan and his group returned to the imperial capital.

It was time to get off work at the headquarters. Lu Yuan and the others went home to report on their work tomorrow.

Lu Yuan naturally returned to the small building in the White Willow District.

Lu Yuan could understand that Li Qinghe had not left the land of origin. After all, it had only been four days.

Lu Yuan returned to his room to rest. He took out his phone and saw that Si Tingxue and Rebecca had sent him messages.

"Why didn't you come to my sister's place to cultivate?" Si Tingxue asked.

Rebecca, "Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan, where did you go? I haven't seen you these past two days."

Lu Yuan smiled and replied to their messages separately, telling them what had happened in the past two days.

The two of them didn't reply. They were probably cultivating.

Lu Yuan also sat cross-legged and continued to comprehend the sky splitting slash and steel body.

He realized that without anyone sparring with him, his speed of improvement was indeed slightly slower.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment. There were not urgent missions every day.

Why don't I go back to school and continue cultivating with my mentor? Speaking of which, I wonder if my mentor has any other spirit techniques?

When there was a mission, he would do it himself.

Of course, he could not give up on the time in the Land of Origin. That was the focus of Lu Yuan's cultivation breakthrough.

A night of comprehension and cultivation passed by very quickly.

The next morning, Lu Yuan arrived at the headquarters in the imperial capital.

He arrived at Gu An's office on the top floor of the imperial capital's headquarters while being greeted by a group of genetic Warriors.

Lu Yuan knocked on the door and walked in. Gu An and Secretary Liu were stunned when they saw Lu Yuan.

"Elder Lu, didn't you go to Yali city to deal with the mutation?" Gu An asked.

Lu Yuan was not surprised to see that Gu An was still not clear about the situation in ally city.

After all, as the Guild Master of the night Watchmen headquarters, he had to deal with all the abnormal phenomena in the Red Maple Empire as long as there were any special circumstances. He was extremely busy.

In addition, the report in ally city required Lu Yuan to come over, so there was no need to report directly to the city.

Only one night had passed, so it was unlikely that Gu An knew what had happened to Lu Yuan in Yali city.

At the thought of this, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "the mutation in the city of Yali has been dealt with."

The office fell silent. Gu An's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You ... Didn't they just leave the day before yesterday? How could he be so fast?"

He had to deal with an urgent task every two days ... This was too ridiculous, alright?

Gu An could not believe her ears.

Lu Yuan smiled as he recounted what happened in Yali city.

"That mutated creature was going to attack my subordinates. In order to protect them, I left a trick on them and finally caught the mutated creature. However, I didn't expect that there was a mutant who had the soul devouring bead behind this mutant. That mutant was very strong, he had reached the combat Emperor level. If it wasn't for my strength, I might have been in danger. Even so, it was still very difficult for me to win."

"Hmmm ..." Lu Yuan felt that he was not exaggerating on purpose. After all, he had used many trump cards. Even his combat skills had used the sun spirit body, astral world travel, and the glory of the Holy light.

Although he still had some trump cards, he had used quite a lot.

As Gu An and Secretary Liu listened to Lu Yuan's story, their expressions kept changing, as if they were listening to a story.

After Lu Yuan finished, the two of them looked at him with strange expressions.

Gu An said, "You're saying that there's another soul devouring bead behind this mutation phenomenon? And the mutant who had the soul devouring bead had already reached the battle monarch level? And you even killed the battle monarch mutant?"

Gu An's face was full of doubt as she spoke the last part.

Lu Yuan took out a black box and said,

"The soul devouring bead is inside."

He opened the box, and a golden light flashed. A golden palm condensed from spiritual energy took out the soul devouring bead.

Seeing the soul devouring bead, Gu An and Secretary Liu's faces turned grave.

The atmosphere fell into a dead silence, and the two stared at the soul devouring bead.

Lu Yuan's expression was also serious as he asked, "President Gu, I would like to know if the soul devouring bead from Xili city is still there?"

Gu An took a deep breath and said, "old Liu, go to the underground storage room and see for yourself whether the soul devouring bead is still there!"

Secretary Liu also understood the seriousness of the matter. He nodded deeply and left the office.

After Secretary Liu left, the two of them were silent, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

After a moment of silence, Gu An slowly said, "Elder Lu, I heard from Qinghe that you were there when the first soul devouring bead was obtained?"

Lu Yuan nodded. "Yes. Back then, sister Qinghe was investigating the location of the soul devouring orb, so she rented the place with me. Some things happened later on. I did see the soul devouring bead back then."

Gu An rubbed his forehead and slowly said,

"I heard from the Qinghe group that someone had given the soul devouring bead to the aberrant then?"

Lu Yuan nodded.

Gu An took a deep breath and sighed.

"If this soul devouring bead is the second soul devouring bead, what do you think will happen, elder Lu?"

Lu Yuan felt a slight headache. He smiled bitterly and said,

"Since there's a second one, there might be a third or fourth one. After all, it's an s-grade mutated human. As long as one of them grows to its full form, it'll become a battle Emperor-grade mutated human. The most troublesome one is still the person who delivered the soul devouring bead. Perhaps that person is the most dangerous."

After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan smiled. "If it's possible, I'd rather the underground storage room lose the first soul devouring bead."

Upon hearing this, Gu An was reminded of the unknown text message that she had received earlier. When he was confirming the authenticity of the message, he realized that Si Chengxin, Si Tingfeng, and the other higher-ups had all received the message.

He was almost certain that the message was real.

"No." Gu An shook his head with a bitter smile. "If there's such a big hole in the underground storage room, it'll be a disaster too."

If there was such a big loophole, it was almost certain that if there was really a strong person who wanted to steal the mutated object in the underground storage room, there was a high chance of success.

No matter what the situation was, it was a huge headache for Gu An.

For a moment, Gu An felt very tired.

Lu Yuan heard Gu An's words. Although Gu An didn't say it clearly, Lu Yuan suddenly remembered the text message he had sent before, and his expression turned a little strange.

Now that you put it that way, it did seem very troublesome.

But then again, was the person who gave the soul devouring orb the same person who wanted to steal the mutated creature?

Lu Yuan could not help but smile bitterly.

These two things had no connection at all, so how could they be the same person?

However, Lu Yuan would rather it be the same person. If there were two people, wouldn't it be more troublesome?

Two people who wanted to destroy the red maple Empire.

As the two of them conversed, Secretary Liu returned very quickly.

Seeing Secretary Liu enter, Gu An and Lu Yuan both looked at him with complicated expressions.

"How is it? Old Liu."

"The soul devouring bead is still there." Secretary Liu's mouth twitched.

Gu An opened his mouth but fell silent.

Then, he said with a bitter smile, "I understand. This soul devouring bead should also be placed in the underground storage room. I will report this matter to the emperor."

Lu Yuan said, "by the way, there's also this xenogeneic. I haven't had time to test its specific functions. But I'm sure that after opening the door, it can travel through space. Furthermore, it can not be detected by space-type transcendent genes."

Lu Yuan took out the ordinary-looking wooden door.

Now the wooden door was tightly tied up. Perhaps because the unknown energy was absorbed by Lu Yuan, it stopped struggling.
