Gu Yan and Ning Qian took their seats.
Bai Jun played the footage again.
A chill ran through everyone once more.
Ning Qian, watching the screen, also revealed a hint of anger on her beautiful face.
She had heard of the Night Organization before, but she never expected that now a demonic sect, the Heavenly Demon Sect, would disguise themselves as the Night Organization to confuse everyone.
It was truly heinous!
Seeing Ning Qian's indignant expression, Gu Yan quietly inquired, "Miss Ning, you certainly have a passionate spirit, but don't forget your own purpose."
"Have you found your senior brother yet?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Qian was pulled out of her righteous anger. Her eyes darkened, and she shook her head, replying, "No."
As she said this, she felt lost.
Before coming down the mountain, her masters had told her that she and her senior brother were fated to meet.
Following her master's teachings, she had always believed in their words.
But now, after searching for so long, even as the Night Organization has made another move, she still hasn't encountered her senior brother.
Could it be... that she and her senior brother are not fated after all? Was Gu Yan's mention of Shen Wan'er true?
She took a deep breath, pushed aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and decided not to dwell on these matters.
Nonetheless, there was one thing she needed to thank Gu Yan for.
So she offered her gratitude to Gu Yan, saying, "Although I haven't found my senior brother, I am still very grateful to Gu Da Shao for finding me a place to stay yesterday."
"And also for bringing me here to attend this strategy meeting today."
Hearing this, Gu Yan waved his hand, naturally not revealing that he had already had people monitoring her every move.
Instead, he casually said, "You're welcome. I just happened to pass by there last night."
"I saw you sitting on a park bench, lost in thought, and a little guess told me you had no place to stay."
"For me, finding you a place to stay was just a small favor."
Ning Qian felt grateful. Back then, she had been unable to find her senior brother, had no money, and the mention of Shen Wan'er by Gu Yan had been nagging at her mind.
So she had sat on the bench, lost in thought.
She hadn't expected that Gu Yan would offer help to a complete stranger like her.
Originally, she had always believed that people below the mountain, except for her senior brother, were all bad. That's why she had always kept herself distant.
But it turned out... Gu Yan was a good person after all...
At that moment,
It seemed that Guo Tianyun, from Xiaoyao Mountain, felt uncomfortable with everyone discussing while Gu Yan and Ning Qian were chatting.
So he spoke up, not daring to provoke Ning Qian, but that didn't mean he was afraid of Gu Yan. He coldly snorted, "Gu Yan, as the young master of the Gu family, do you have any thoughts to share?"
"Don't worry, in this meeting, you still have the right to speak."
As soon as these words were uttered,
All the representatives from various factions in the conference room turned their attention to Gu Yan.
One by one, their eyes were somewhat strange.
After all...
When they had previously visited the Gu family, Gu Yan had beaten up Guo Tianyun.
Combined with what was shown in the projection, it was hard not to suspect that Gu Yan was somehow involved in this matter.
However, since Gu Yan was with Ning Qian, they didn't quite know what to think.
Upon hearing this,
Gu Yan glanced at Guo Tianyun and lightly smiled, "Naturally, I have some thoughts, though they might be a bit shocking."
"I'm afraid saying them out loud might scare you, an old senior who just advanced to the rank of Grandmaster, into losing your cultivation."
As soon as these words were uttered,
Guo Tianyun's face immediately turned extremely ugly. He was about to curse, but then he remembered where they were—the martial department.
Especially since Gu Yan seemed to have some connection with Ning Qian.
So he swallowed his anger and coldly snorted, "If you have no thoughts, then don't speak up. Let's continue our discussion!"
However, Gu Yan interrupted, "Hold on a minute, I already said I have thoughts."
He looked around, seeing the confused expressions of everyone, and slowly spoke, "I speculate... the Night Organization... might not be just one!"
!!
As soon as these words were uttered,
The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and then suddenly,
The people in the conference room exploded: "Bizarre! How could there be more than one Night Organization?"
"The Night Organization has always been one, the one that was exterminated five years ago!"
"Even if its remnants could come back to life, they would surely be insignificant riffraff!"
"The footage is already very clear! The Night Organization currently stirring trouble in Jianghai is just the Heavenly Demon Sect pretending to be them!"
No one could admit or accept the possibility of more than one Night Organization.
After all, one Night Organization had already required the entire world's forces to mobilize. If there were more...
They truly didn't dare to imagine!
Bang bang!
Bai Jun pounded the table: "Quiet down!"
The scene immediately calmed down, and then, Bai Jun looked at Gu Yan: "Gu Yan, what do you mean by this?"
Upon hearing this,
Gu Yan softly spoke, "Old Gao, bring that out."
As soon as these words were uttered,
Vroom!
Old Gao's figure suddenly appeared beside Gu Yan, placing a white container on the table.
The sudden appearance of a Grandmaster-level expert shocked everyone present.
Guo Tianyun was inwardly shocked—he hadn't sensed how Old Gao had appeared at all.
Even though they were of the same cultivation level...
This was the prowess of an old Grandmaster from the Gu family, huh?
"What is this?"
Bai Jun, who had already met Old Gao before, wasn't as surprised. He looked curiously at the white container on the table.
Inside... was a finger!
Everyone looked over.
"Gu Da Shao, what is the meaning of this?"
"What does this finger signify?"
"Is this the evidence for your claim that there's more than one Night Organization?"
Gu Yan nodded. He looked at the crowd and gradually restrained his smile, instead revealing a serious expression: "Everyone, to be honest, all I wanted was a stable life, to be happily together with my lover."
"But..."
Gu Yan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with rage: "The Night Organization... is too inhumane."
"Just yesterday, I went to Jianghai High School to discuss charity donations, but instead, I sensed over a dozen nefarious auras on the campus!"
"I first had Old Gao lock down one of them and forced them to reveal their true identity as a member of an organization called the Black Flame."
As soon as these words were uttered,
Everyone was shocked.
"Black Flame? Those lunatics?"
"My god, they're actually in Jianghai High School!"
"Those lunatics would do anything for the Night King..."
As the crowd commented in horror,
These lunatics were most skilled at disguising themselves or even directly replacing people in existing factions.
They planned all kinds of inhumane sacrificial rituals.
Bai Jun's eyes also widened in surprise. After all, his sister was also at Jianghai High School.
Gu Yan nodded, "That's the same group of lunatics."
He looked at Bai Jun and sighed, "I had intended to tell you about this, but who would have thought that when I had Old Gao lock onto those people again."
"I found..."
"They were all dead."
"Their methods were extremely mysterious. Everyone can check the sample I brought."
At this point, Old Gao stepped forward and opened the white container.
Immediately, as the finger touched the air,
Its volume rapidly expanded.
Then, boom!
Countless butterflies surged out and quickly dissipated into the world.

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character.

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
