Dongfang Wantang was taken aback, then bowed solemnly: "Wantang will certainly live up to your trust!" She understood the significance of this arrangement—the Star Lord was publicly establishing her position as the spokesperson.

Zhang Jingcheng stroked his beard and asked the last crucial question: "Star Lord, what should be done with the families of those traitors?"

The hall fell silent once more. Everyone looked at Han Feng, awaiting the young star lord's judgment.

Han Feng pondered for a moment: "First, send people to keep a close watch. If the entire clan has been infiltrated by external forces..." A glint flashed in his eyes, "...deal with them according to the Shangguan family's rules. If only some members have betrayed us, then eliminate those who have been corrupted, and cripple the remaining clansmen's cultivation, letting them live as ordinary people."

This decision earned the approval of many delegates. It struck a perfect balance, neither being overly lenient by letting the tiger return to the mountain nor indiscriminately killing and harming the innocent.

"If there are no further questions, that concludes today." Han Feng surveyed the crowd. "Three days from now, representatives from each family, along with their elite lists, will gather at the Eastern Family's secret realm."

As the final command was given, Han Feng's clothes moved without wind, and his figure gradually became transparent. Before disappearing completely, he glanced meaningfully out the window—in the night sky, several exceptionally bright "stars" were moving at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Star Lord!"

Amidst the orderly farewells, Han Feng vanished without a trace. The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, both awestruck by his incredible skill and filled with anticipation for the impending battle.

Dongfang Wantang coughed lightly and took out a jade slip: "Please leave your contact information. I will..."

Her voice was interrupted by a sudden telepathic message entering her mind: "Well done. I'll be waiting for you in the backyard."

It was Han Feng's voice. Dongfang Wantang's lips unconsciously curled into a smile as she continued to nonchalantly arrange the follow-up matters.

---This is the dividing line---

The bamboo grove in the backyard rustled as Han Feng stood with his hands behind his back in the stone pavilion, sunlight filtering through the bamboo leaves and casting dappled shadows on his shoulders. He lightly tapped the stone railing with his fingertips, the rhythm creating a wonderful contrast with the clamor from the main hall in the distance.

"Star Lord," Dongfang Lin's voice came from behind, "Wan Tang is already handling the liaison matters, and the representatives from all sides are cooperating very well."

Zhang Jingtian followed closely behind, a pot of hot tea now in his hand: "This old man took the liberty of bringing some 'Cloud and Mist Spirit Buds'."

Han Feng turned and smiled, "No need for such formalities, gentlemen." He took the teacup, the steam rising gently in the night breeze. "This tea will help me clear my head and discuss our next move."

The three sat around a stone table. After setting up a soundproof barrier, Zhang Jingtian spoke first: "The Star Lord just asked about overseas forces. After much thought, I've decided that the Wolf family of Country E should be our primary target."

"Oh?" A glint flashed in Han Feng's eyes. "Tell me more."

"Although the Wolf family is a reclusive lineage, they are the most unruly." Zhang Jingtian dipped his fingertip in tea and traced a wolf's head pattern on the stone table. "For the past twenty years, they have frequently entered and exited the secular world, cooperating with the E country's military on their so-called 'super soldier' ​​project."

The wolf's head outlined in the tea suddenly came to life, running and howling on the table. Han Feng's pupils contracted—this was clearly the form of a gene-engineered warrior!

"And those gene-enhancing drugs I encountered during my trip to Country R..."

"It was the Wolf family's doing." Zhang Jingtian nodded. "They used technology to package ancient martial arts techniques, combining 'werewolf bloodline' with genetic modification to create monsters that retain werewolf fighting abilities without being limited by the lunar cycle."

Dongfang Lin added, "What's even more troublesome is that these modified soldiers are infiltrating the militaries of various countries. If it weren't for a member of my Dongfang family accidentally discovering this three years ago while studying in the US, probably no one would know about it now."

Han Feng unconsciously stroked the teacup with his fingertips. The drugs used by Mu Ye Tianji, the Miyamoto family's gene laboratory, the enhanced humans controlled by Mu Xiaoxiao... the clues finally connected.

"What about the Howard family from Country M?" he suddenly asked. "As far as I know, they are Mu Xiaoxiao's biggest financial backers."

Dongfang Lin exchanged a glance with Zhang Jingtian: "Star Lord, you are wise. The Howard family is indeed incredibly wealthy, but..." He lowered his voice, "They almost never appear in the secular world; all their economic activities are conducted through hundreds of puppet conglomerates."

"How amazing is it?" Han Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Let me put it this way," Zhang Jingtian said with a wry smile, "The Rothschild family is like a general store compared to a multinational corporation in front of Howard. They control most of the global arms trade."

Han Feng frowned deeply. If the Howard family controlled all the arms dealers of those warlords in the secular world, wouldn't the monopolized funds be...?

"Not only that," Dongfang Lin continued, "the Howard family was behind the global financial crisis twenty years ago. It's said that even the US parliament is controlled by them."

A sudden gust of night wind blew, and the rustling of bamboo leaves sounded like surging waves. Han Feng rose and paced back and forth, starlight swirling around his shoulders as he moved.

"Wolf provides the technology, Howard provides the funding, and Mu Xiaoxiao is in charge of execution..." he muttered to himself, "What a perfect trio for the Moon Goddess camp."

Dongfang Lin quickly tried to smooth things over: "The most urgent task is to formulate an action plan. I suggest we start with the Wolf family; they are flamboyant and easy to find a breakthrough point with."

"I second that." Zhang Jingtian wiped away the wolf-shaped water stain on the table. "There's an abandoned military base in northern E country, actually a Wolf family stronghold. Our people have detected significant psionic fluctuations there."

Han Feng stopped, starlight condensing into a miniature star map in his palm: "Specific coordinates?"

Zhang Jingtian recited a series of numbers, and Han Feng immediately located the point on the star chart. When the light spot locked onto a certain location, the star chart suddenly distorted, displaying an abnormal energy reading.

"Interesting..." Han Feng narrowed his eyes.

"Should we gather more manpower?" Zhang Jingtian asked. "I have a few old acquaintances in Europe..."

Han Feng shook his head: "Too many people will only alert them. I'll bring Wan Tang with me." He paused, "Her divination abilities might come in handy."

As they were talking, Dongfang Wantang appeared on the bamboo path. The jade slip in her hand emitted a faint light, indicating that she had completed the communication.

"Is everything arranged?" Dongfang Lin asked.

Wan Tang nodded.

When Han Feng saw Dongfang Wantang walking slowly towards him, he instantly thought of an old friend, so he said to the group, "We will not touch the Wolf and Howard families regarding the overseas forces for now."

Zhang Jingtian asked with some surprise, "Then what do you mean, Star Lord?...?"

Han Feng smiled and said, "Let's take action against R country first."
