Chang Le glanced at Shen Cangbai and asked, "What did Hua Lihan say?"
Luo Xuan said, "Mr. Hua already explained this matter in detail in his report after the battle."
Chang Le knew that Hua Lihan would still use the same excuse.
"Over at Changfeng?"
Luo Xuan immediately understood and handed a document to Chang Le face-to-face.
After reading it, Chang Le reached out and patted the back of Shen Cangbai's seat: "Mr. Shen, I heard that at the summit meeting, you did not support my return to the Dragon Sect?"
Shen Cangbai smiled slightly: "This is a sensitive time. Your departure from the Ninth District is related to the Dragon Emperor's decision on the fusion and the survival of the Ninth District. Going back now is naturally not a simple matter and requires careful consideration. Therefore, I think it would be best for the young master to stay in the main district for the time being and leave when the time is right."
"Hmm~" Chang Le curled his lips coldly, "Let me guess, there should be another reason."
"The Shen family claims to have inherited the bloodline of the true dragon, and every three generations there will surely be a descendant who carries the bloodline of the golden dragon. However, from the previous Mr. Shen to Shen Xiu, plus Shen Xiu's son, for a full four generations, no descendant of the true dragon has appeared again."
"The power of the true dragon's bloodline is diluted with inheritance. If this trend continues, soon even the black dragon bloodline, which is second only to the golden dragon and is mainly inherited by the Shen family, will be difficult to maintain."
"And now, the only true dragon bloodline that still exists in the entire world, the only chance to obtain it and continue its inheritance, is in the Dragon Tomb Secret Realm, and in me."
"That's why Mr. Shen and the Shen family want to keep me here."
Shen Cangbai's smile remained unchanged, but it seemed somewhat insincere.
"The family that wants to integrate is the Qin family. The family that has truly cooperated with it all along is not the Ying family, but the Shen family. Even the friendship between Shen Xiu and Gu Yujing was initially the Shen family's way of helping the Qin family to restrain the Gu family, right? The friendship is real, but so is the restraint."
The vehicle moved forward on its own. Shen Cangbai chuckled softly but said nothing.
“But now,” Chang Le picked up a piece of cloth from his palm, which had been torn from Lei Zhe’s body, “Mr. Shen, you have discovered that your ally, the Qin family, is in trouble.”
"If they really do embark on a path of self-destruction, what will you choose?"
Shen Cangbai suppressed his smile.
From the moment Gu Lianghan received the news and informed the higher-ups without trying to suppress it, they all knew it was a trap.
However, when the God-Making Faction's [Battle Axe] and [Wild Bear] actually intercepted Chang Le and his group ahead of time, it completely confirmed one thing—among the district's high-level and core members, some were colluding with the God-Making Faction.
The two most suspicious families are the two major families of the management committee.
Given the actions of the god-making faction, once their collusion is exposed, even the most deeply entrenched family will suffer a devastating blow. The Qin family is in grave danger, a fact Shen Cangbai is acutely aware of. Furthermore, the Qin family is now powerless to help the Shen family secure the true dragon bloodline inheritance left behind by Shen Fuguang.
"You now control the Dragon Tomb?" Shen Cangbai asked.
"Yes." Chang Le nodded.
"The Dragon Emperor's grudges are none of our generation's business, and have nothing to do with Shen Xiu. You, young master, are also familiar with his character. Can the Dragon Emperor's grudges be settled in my generation?"
Chang Le's gaze was icy: "Mr. Shen, you are not qualified to settle this matter with me."
"I misspoke," Shen Cangbai paused before saying, "The Shen family and I are willing to help the young master."
Chang Le smiled slightly, released his hand, and leaned back in his chair: "I will give Shen Xiu's child a chance."
After a period of silence, Shen Cangbai received a message, read it, and then turned to ask Chang Le: "Later, we will likely test the abnormal energy in your body to determine if you have the ability to fuse. If you have other energies in your body, please tell me now, and we will absolutely not allow you to undergo testing at the subsequent meeting."
Chang Le didn't answer, but instead asked, "How do you test it?"
Shen Cangbai glanced at her and said, "People, or equipment, or people and equipment, double insurance."
"Does this kind of detection ability exist in the world? Is it very accurate?"
Such a question made Shen Cangbai's eyes deepen. He hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "It's not that strange. There is currently no superpower in the world that can perceive the superpowers in other people's bodies without any obstacles."
But as far as I know, one member of the investigation team is a peak ninth-tier psychic, known as the 'Number One in the Brain Domain,' whose mental strength is even comparable to that of those below the ninth realm. His mental power is such that no one below the ninth realm can escape his detection.
"Chang Le, listen to me. If there is really a problem with your superpower, tell me now. I will directly reject all their investigation plans and guarantee your safety. If anything happens, we can talk about it when we get back to Hua'an City."
Please consider this carefully and do not take any risks. If the investigation team discovers anything, the situation will be irreversible.
Chang Le smiled faintly: "Thank you for your kind advice, Mr. Shen, but I will let them investigate."
Shen Cangbai sighed heavily, composed himself, and stopped speaking.
...
With heavy escort from various armies, the convoy quickly arrived at Yulou Pass to defend the city. Martial law had been imposed in the town, and outsiders were temporarily not allowed to enter or leave at will. The escort teams from the Meli Federation, Beisha, the Dragon Soul Army, and the International Investigation Team were temporarily stationed outside the city.
Chang Le got out of the car, glanced at the people staring at her, and sneered: "Are you going to take me in like I'm a fugitive, Mr. Shen?"
"Miss Chang Le is too kind." Shen Cangbai gestured for her to proceed.
“Mr. Shen is quite funny,” Chang Le glanced at his hand, her tone sarcastic. “This is my own territory.”
After saying that, he strode forward with Luo Xuan.
Shen Cangbai shook his head slightly, withdrew his hand, and walked over.
The city was initially built under the supervision of Fu Guang, and later it was designated to be governed by the Ninth District. The Dragon Faction was the uncrowned king of the Ninth District, and Chang Le was the young master of the Dragon Faction. Under this relationship, the city was indeed her own territory.
From the moment Chang Le appeared in the unclaimed territory outside Yulou Pass, the initial plans laid out in Hua'an City were disrupted. Now, here, Chang Le has, to a certain extent, gained more of the initiative.
The central building of the city, a cluster of two- or three-story interconnected buildings separated from the surrounding structures by a wall, is the official symbol of the Long faction's right to represent the regional government in the city.
After everyone entered, Luo Xuan arranged everything in an orderly manner. Meanwhile, people from Hua'an City, the capital of the Meili Federation, and other places continued to rush towards the city.
Chang Le instructed Luo Xuan: "I have something important to do, and I don't need anyone to disturb me."
Luo Xuan neither asked what it was about nor whether it would delay the meeting. He simply agreed and turned to instruct Wan Buxun to lead the Dragon Soul Army to guard the place where Chang Le was.
As he left, Ghost Blade quietly appeared at the door, standing guard like a statue.
After a long time, the door opened and Chang Le came out, his slightly pale face showing signs of fatigue.
Gui Dao silently questioned with his eyes, and Chang Le raised the corners of his lips at him: "Don't worry, I have a solution."
...
All parties gathered in the main conference room of the central building.
