The Capital Headquarters, Round Table Conference Room.
A dozen or so high-ranking leaders were having a meeting. If Xia Tianqiong were here, she would recognize more than half of them.
These are the people who recently went to Lin'an City to ask him to extend their lifespan.
"The Liu family made a request: they want us to find Xia Tianqiong and help them get back a mysterious artifact before they will give us a clear answer."
The speaker was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, but was actually over sixty years old.
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone scoffed, "At a time like this, the Liu family still dares to make demands; they're simply courting death."

Next to Director Zhang, the old man who had been resting with his eyes closed suddenly opened them, his eyes flashing with a terrifying light.
"That's right, the Liu family is talking about the Fenggui Chessboard."
"He really is the chosen one. It seems that not only will the human world be in chaos, but the realm of ghosts will also be thrown into turmoil!"
The old man squinted his eyes, as if talking to himself.
