Everyone nodded. Their first thought was that the Archaic Alliance was fighting amongst themselves. Who else could kill a foundation establishment practitioner other than themselves?
"I know it wasn't you guys, but what about other people? You're not trying to say that the department is in charge of all practitioners in the common world, are you?" Xue Jianfeng shook his head faintly.
"From what I know, there's never been anyone in the common world who's stronger than Sky class full mastery. Saying that this has something to do with the common world doesn't make much sense." Lingshan said, neither servile nor overbearing. This wasn't a child's play- it affected the entire common world, and she couldn't just admit it so easily.
"Don't be too confident. Of the two people who died in the Archaic Alliance, one was at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment realm, while the other was at the late Foundation Establishment realm. It's true that ordinary cultivators from the secular world wouldn't be able to kill them. However, the murderer was an anomaly, a cultivator in the form of a nascent spirit. Since the Supernatural Investigation Bureau claims to be in charge of cultivators from the secular world, I believe you should have some files on this matter," said Xue Jianfeng confidently.
"A primordial spirit practitioner?" Lingshan paused, and the others did as well. "What's that?"
"You guys really don't know?" Xue Jianfeng looked at their blank faces, surprised. "Even if you don't have accurate information, you should at least have some rumors about this practitioner, right?"
"Nope, never heard of it." Lingshan and the others shook their heads.
"......" Xue Jianfeng couldn't help but choke. He could tell that they weren't faking it. "No matter what, we Archaic Alliance disciples who died in the common world need to be accounted for. This primordial spirit practitioner needs to be investigated, and if you guys can't figure it out, then we'll have to do it ourselves."
Lingshan's heart tightened at the words- it was obvious what the guy was implying. Things would get out of control once the Archaic Alliance started investigating this, and things would get out of control if they weren't careful. The practitioners of the common world would have to face a sudden bloodbath.
After a moment of silence. Lingshan said solemnly, "The department will investigate this primordial spirit practitioner. Since the Archaic Alliance has a rule of not disturbing the common world's order, then it's best to keep it that way."
"Very well. I believe in Miss Song's sincerity. " Xue Jianfeng nodded and didn't have the slightest intention to leave. He changed the topic and asked, "You said you're the deputy chief here? I'll leave it to you to arrange a meeting with your bureau chief. I have something important to discuss with you. "
"Chief Feng is not here. If there's anything, you can tell me directly. " Lingshan said, neither servile nor overbearing. She wasn't trying to act all high and mighty by saying this, it was just that she had more experience as a vice-director. No matter what Xue Jianfeng said, it would be easier for her to deal with it as a vice-director. If it was Feng Tianlong, it would be a different story. There wouldn't be any room for negotiation.
"Sure, let's go somewhere else then." Xue Jianfeng looked around and said. What he was going to say next was his own decision. Before it was done, he couldn't casually spread it around. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for the higher-ups of the Archaic Alliance to hear about it.
"Alright, please follow me." Lingshan brought Xue Jianfeng and Fei Yangsheng to the meeting room and gestured for everyone to disperse.
Both sides sat down in the meeting room, and Xue Jianfeng said proudly, "Our sect is recruiting a few disciples this time. As long as you have enough talent in the common world, you can come with me to the Archaic Alliance."
"Recruiting disciples?" Lingshan paused. She thought it was some bad news, not expecting him to be recruiting disciples back to the Archaic Alliance. She let out a breath of relief.
Strictly speaking, this wasn't a bad thing. Archaic Alliance wasn't on the same level as Sky Class Island, but it was still much stronger than the common world. But compared to the secular world, it was still much better. If there was such a chance, many practitioners in the secular world would be overjoyed.
"That's right. Of course, we're very strict when it comes to selecting people. Normal practitioners don't even enter our sights, but you, Miss Song, naturally meet the requirements. As long as you come with me, I'm sure you'll be able to reach foundation establishment in no time. Even reaching my level isn't impossible. "Xue Jianfeng said with a 'I'm taking care of you' face.
As far as he was concerned, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for the common world practitioners. After all, the path to the Archaic Alliance would only open again after a thousand years. If they missed this chance, they'd have to continue struggling in the common world where the qi was thin. They wouldn't be able to advance even if they died.
As long as one wasn't an idiot, they'd know what to choose between the common world and the Archaic Alliance. This girl he was drooling over clearly wasn't an idiot.
Lingshan's reaction, however, made his jaw drop. She didn't hesitate at all, "I appreciate your good intentions, sir, but I've never planned on leaving the common world."
If she really wanted to, she would've gone to Sky class island with Lin Yi. Why would she go to the Archaic Alliance?
"What?" Xue Jianfeng thought he'd heard wrongly, frowning as he looked at Lingshan's serious face. "Miss Song, you might not understand the difference between the Archaic Alliance and the common world. Let me put it this way- with the qi and resources of the common world, Sky class full mastery is the limit you can reach. It doesn't matter if you're talented or not, but if you come with me to the Archaic Alliance, with the density of qi and resources there, you'll be able to reach the next level without a hitch. Think about the difference before you speak."
As far as he was concerned, all practitioners would do everything they could to increase their strength, and some would even kill their loved ones for it. There was no way Lingshan wouldn't do something like that, unless she was out of her mind.
"It's fine, I've thought about it. Thank you," Lingshan rejected decisively.
Seeing that Lingshan was a rare beauty, Xue Jianfeng purposely lowered his attitude, but now that he was rejected, his face darkened. "Miss Song, my sect is one of the top sects in the Archaic Alliance. With my help, you'll have a great training environment. This is something no one else can give you. This concerns your future, and it's best if you don't make a decision casually, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
