Chapter 333 - 212: Who Exactly Are You?

Chapter 333: Chapter 212: Who Exactly Are You?

"Su."

"Can you do something for me?"

The exhaustion on Li Longxuan’s face was undeniable. He watched Su Xing enter from outside and suddenly spoke.

"You want me to help Tong An’s daughter, don’t you?"

"What do you need me to do?"

Su Xing had a general idea of what Li Longxuan wanted, but he didn’t know the specifics or have any information on the matter, so he asked.

"Haha, you’re as sharp as ever."

Li Longxuan smiled and handed Su Xing a map. A large area on it was circled, marked with three large words: Cyan Cloud Sect.

"The Cyan Cloud Sect?"

Su Xing said, stunned for a moment. The name didn’t sound like a modern-day faction at all; it sounded more like an ancient power from some Secret Realm.

Seeming to notice Su Xing’s expression, Li Longxuan nodded. "It is indeed an ancient power. The Cyan Cloud Sect is a massive Secret Realm, but over the years, it has gradually integrated into modern society. It’s now part of the special organization."

"So the organization has branches like this?"

Su Xing said, somewhat amazed.

Li Longxuan smiled. "It’s a big world. It’s not so strange that some powers are willing to join us."

"True."

After his initial surprise, Su Xing quickly calmed down. Although most people from Secret Realms were remnants from ancient times, it wasn’t a given that all of them would be hostile to the modern world. Integrating wasn’t impossible.

It was clear that the matter Li Longxuan was entrusting to Su Xing was related to the Cyan Cloud Sect, so he asked:

"You want me to go there?"

"Yes."

Li Longxuan nodded.

"Why not have me look for the Sick Monarch?"

Su Xing asked, finding it odd. Based on his deductions, if Tong An was working for the Sick Monarch for his daughter’s sake, then going directly to the Sick Monarch should be the most direct and best option.

"Well... because the Sick Monarch is hard to find."

Li Longxuan said, "Finding people isn’t something you can do just by being powerful. It’s a job best left to the professionals."

"Besides, there have been signs of Tong An’s daughter in the Cyan Cloud Sect Secret Realm. That’s why I want to ask you to investigate there. If you can, please bring my friend’s daughter back for me."

Li Longxuan said with utmost seriousness.

"..."

Su Xing frowned and asked, "What is she doing at the Cyan Cloud Sect? Is she an Extraordinary Being, too?"

"She should be."

"I’m not entirely sure myself."

"The special organization doesn’t know much about her. After Tong An left, it was as if he vanished completely. Naturally, we haven’t been able to gather much information about his daughter either."

Li Longxuan said helplessly, "The only thing we know is that she loves Chinese opera. I met her once, a long time ago, when she was just a little girl. She was only five or six, but she was already fascinated with listening to and singing opera."

"Chinese opera?"

It had to be said, that was a very specific clue. In this information age, opera was definitely a niche interest.

Suddenly, Su Xing remembered the woman he had seen in the Secret Realm. Crows had surrounded her, and she had kept singing opera even as several men harassed her.

Thinking back, those men might have also been monsters born in the Secret Realm, yet they were killed in an instant by that woman, just like real, ordinary people.

It was safe to say her power was immense.

’Is she... Tong An’s daughter?’

Su Xing wondered silently. After a moment’s thought, he decided to tell Li Longxuan. Li Longxuan listened quietly to Su Xing’s account, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper as he heard more.

"Are you sure?"

"Elder Li, is something wrong?"

Su Xing found Li Longxuan’s reaction strange and asked out of curiosity. But Li Longxuan just sighed deeply, took a file from the side, and handed it to him.

Boldly written on the file was the title: "Wanted Extraordinary Beings List." If that woman was truly Tong An’s daughter, then she stood against the special organization—a crow that could not see the light of day.

"..."

Su Xing was at a loss for words. He could feel Li Longxuan’s internal conflict. No one is a saint; it’s hard not to be emotionally shaken in a situation like this. But Li Longxuan was, after all, Li Longxuan. After a brief moment of hesitation, he quickly regained his composure.

"Su, go to the Cyan Cloud Sect and help me investigate what she’s planning. If she’s really up to no good, then I’ll have to trouble you to capture her. We can’t let her continue down the wrong path."

"Alright. What about you?" Su Xing nodded.

"Sigh... A few more Sequence Beasts have appeared in the Spirit Realm recently. They’re getting stronger and stronger, and our organization members in there might not be able to hold out. So I have to stay in the Spirit Realm."

Li Longxuan said, troubled. The deadline to eradicate the Spirit Realm was drawing closer, and the turmoil within it was becoming more frequent. Both sides were maintaining a strange balance—conflicting, yet not severely so—that seemed ready to shatter at any moment.

Once it does, the special organization, the Martial God Hall, and the Spirit Realm—these three powers—will finally have a true showdown to determine the victor.

"Okay."

"I’ll do my best to leave her alive."

Su Xing said seriously.

"Heh, no need for that. If she has truly gone astray, letting her enter the cycle of reincarnation would be the most dignified path for her."

Li Longxuan waved his hand and said,

"Also, the Cyan Cloud Sect Secret Realm is quite a distance from Cang City. This trip will probably take you some time. If there’s anything you want to take care of first, do it before you leave."
