Outside the Secret Realm.
Teleportation Hall.
"Alright, Old Li, I get it."
"When I'm done with this matter, I'll definitely go meet that Genius you mentioned!"
Sun Houyuan hung up the phone and rubbed his temples helplessly.
"Hmm?"
"Old Sun, what's wrong? You look like something's bothering you?"
A middle-aged man next to Sun Houyuan asked, puzzled.
His name was Jiang Qingyi, with a square face, dressed in a black trench coat, walking with a steady, commanding stride. He was clearly no ordinary person.
"Sigh, it's Li Sufeng, Director of the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall!"
"He wants to introduce me to a newcomer. He just sent me the information, and before I could even glance at it, he wanted to drag me to meet the newcomer directly."
Sun Houyuan sighed, a bit vexed.
He had rarely taken a vacation to stroll around Cangnan City, but it seemed trouble followed him everywhere.
No choice, after inspecting the Secret Realm, he would have to rush to the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall.
Jiang Qingyi chuckled upon hearing this, remarking:
"I really didn't expect it. The Awakening ceremony was just yesterday, and a newcomer is already making a name for himself so quickly."
"This is a good thing for our Dragon Country."
"Indeed, it is."
Sun Houyuan nodded, then looked around and said,
"Alright, I see your Teleportation Hall has all the necessary facilities, and everything that needs maintenance has been taken care of."
"Remember, whether it's an artificial Secret Realm or a natural Secret Realm, you cannot let your guard down."
"Yesterday, in the neighboring Cangbei City, a Vicious Beast riot broke out in a Secret Realm. Over a dozen Third-Tier Fierce Beasts rushed onto the streets, killing twenty-three civilians."
"Ah! In short, pay more attention. You are the Cangnan Secret Realm Supervisor, so you must be more diligent with these matters."
Jiang Qingyi nodded solemnly, patting his chest and assuring him:
"Don't worry, Old Sun."
"As the Cangnan Secret Realm Supervisor, I won't let any matter under my jurisdiction go unchecked."
"If anything goes wrong with the Secret Realm, I, Jiang Qingyi, will take responsibility first!"
But no sooner had he finished speaking...
A coarse, loud voice rang out,
"Help! Someone, quick!"
"Are the staff going to do anything or not?"
"The Secret Realm is having problems, and they're not even checking it?"
"What do they take our entrance fees for!"
The shouts were so loud that most of the people in the Teleportation Hall heard them.
Jiang Qingyi, who had just made a solemn promise, immediately darkened his expression.
He frowned and rushed towards the source of the voice.
Outside the Blood Demon Tower teleportation gate.
Fierce Tiger glared ferociously, shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Is there anyone in charge?"
"The Secret Realm has a problem, is there no one who can take responsibility?"
"I demand a perfect explanation!"
A staff member nearby tried to dissuade him with documents,
"Sir, please don't cause trouble here. The data shows that the Blood Demon Tower has no problems whatsoever."
"If you insist on making a scene, I will call security right now!"
"Security?"
"You'd better call them now!"
"Today, I'm standing right here. If this matter isn't resolved, I'm not afraid even if you call dozens of security guards."
Fierce Tiger roared, his eyes wide.
As an old hand, he was used to such tactics.
Today, he had finally caught an opportunity where the Secret Realm had a problem. Of course, he would seize the chance to make a big deal out of it and demand more compensation!
"Help! Can someone in charge come..."
"Stop shouting."
Jiang Qingyi arrived in front of Fierce Tiger expressionlessly, then looked at the staff member next to him,
"What happened?"
"Director Jiang, it's like this..."
The staff member recounted the incident from beginning to end.
When he heard the words "Director Jiang."
Fierce Tiger's pupils suddenly contracted. He sized up the sudden appearance of the square-faced middle-aged man, feeling a chill in his heart.
Director Jiang?
Someone called that by the Teleportation Hall staff...
Only... Fierce Tiger felt as if struck by lightning, his mind momentarily blank. He cursed inwardly with regret.
Damn it!
He had provoked a tough opponent!
He had originally intended to find someone in charge, get some compensation, and be done with it, but he never expected to run into the Cangnan Secret Realm Supervisor!
"Fierce Tiger, right?"
"Don't be nervous, let's just deal with the matter."
Jiang Qingyi took the tablet from the staff member's hand and placed its content in front of Fierce Tiger,
"According to the data, all indicators for the Blood Demon Tower are normal. Of course, data cannot represent everything."
"I want to ask, when you say the Blood Demon Tower Secret Realm has a problem, what makes you say that?"
At this moment.
Sun Houyuan walked over.
He glanced at Fierce Tiger, then looked at Jiang Qingyi,
"What's wrong, Old Jiang?"
"Something went wrong?"
Jiang Qingyi nodded faintly and continued: "Fierce Tiger, tell us, what problem did you encounter?"
"The Vicious Beasts... the number of Vicious Beasts is wrong."
Fierce Tiger had lost his previous assertiveness, his voice stammering,
"According to regulations, there should be one thousand on the first floor, two thousand on the second floor, and three thousand on the third floor."
"However, there are only a few hundred on the second floor, and not a single one on the third floor."
Hmm?
Jiang Qingyi frowned slightly, looking at the staff member,
"Is this true?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the Blood Demon Tower is an artificial Secret Realm, and the number of creatures released is strictly controlled."
"Yes, Director Jiang, that's correct."
The staff member quickly said, "When we received the information, we contacted the technical department immediately."
"They said there wouldn't be any problem with the number released, and I personally checked the data, and there was indeed no problem."
Fierce Tiger quickly pressed, "Does the data always have to be correct?"
"We went to the third floor and didn't encounter a single Vicious Beast!"
"Isn't that enough to prove there's a problem?"
"Seeing is believing. If there are no Vicious Beasts, then there are no Vicious Beasts!"
Jiang Qingyi did not respond to Fierce Tiger, but instead looked at the others behind Fierce Tiger,
"What Fierce Tiger just said, is it true?"
"It's true."
"Aside from the number of Vicious Beasts, are there any other problems?"
Jiang Qingyi's logic was clear: "Also, besides you and those who were forced to leave the Secret Realm, were there any other people who entered the Blood Demon Tower?"
"No, there weren't."
Fierce Tiger said almost certainly.
A subordinate next to him tugged his arm, "Captain, there's still one."
"Oh, right, there's also a little brat who contracted a Witch."
Fierce Tiger said with disdain, "But that brat is a First-Tier Contractor. Although he has some skill, he left the main group and charged ahead alone."
"He's probably already been forced to leave the Secret Realm!"
He couldn't possibly believe that all three thousand Vicious Beasts on the third floor were killed by Ye Ming.
How absurd!
Not only Fierce Tiger didn't believe it, even Jiang Qingyi didn't.
A First-Tier Witch Contract Master killing thousands of Vicious Beasts, this was simply impossible in reality.
"Wait!"
"Old Jiang, does the Blood Demon Tower have surveillance facilities?" Sun Houyuan's expression suddenly turned grave.
Jiang Qingyi was startled and immediately replied, "Artificial Secret Realms all have surveillance. I was just about to check."
"What's wrong, Old Sun?"
Sun Houyuan looked up, recalling what Li Sufeng, Director of the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall had told him earlier,
"The newcomer Old Li wanted to introduce me to earlier is also a Witch Contract Master!"
"Moreover, he broke the record for First-Tier Contractors at the Cangnan Martial Arts Hall, killing five hundred Vicious Beasts!"
"Old Li told me that First-Tier Vicious Beasts are nothing to that kid."
This... Jiang Qingyi's pupils suddenly constricted. In his heart, he already had a guess.
Without hesitation, he personally took action, and in less than a minute, he pulled up the Blood Demon Tower's surveillance footage.
A virtual screen the size of a TV unfolded before everyone.
The camera swept through the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors of the Blood Demon Tower.
No one was seen.
"I told you, that kid must have left the Secret Realm. A First-Tier Contractor can't turn the world upside down."
"It must be a problem with the Blood Demon Tower." Fierce Tiger sneered, muttering softly, he just wanted compensation.
Sun Houyuan also frowned. Had he thought wrong?
However!
Just as everyone began to doubt.
Blood Demon Tower's seventh floor.
Ye Ming, clad in godfall demon armor, appeared!
He held a long scythe, standing tall and straight in the shadows, like a grim reaper harvesting lives in the night, mysterious and eerie.
Directly in front of him, a thousand Second-Tier one-eyed Blood Demon Beasts licked their lips, constantly closing in on him...
