The Grand Formation is Complete, Next Target

The meeting concluded.

The news of Leng Qingqiu's sudden appointment as the head of the Sword Holding Department quickly spread throughout the martial artist sector.

Long Tianyuan, who had spent his life dealing with the Night King, was overjoyed upon learning that Leng Qingqiu had founded a new system for training spiritual masters.

Naturally, he was extremely excited.

He believed that karma had finally come full circle; the Night King, once invincible, had finally met someone who could restrain him!

As long as everyone mastered Leng Qingqiu's spiritual master system.

He was confident that this time, they would definitely be able to kill the Night King!

Within the department corridors.

Leng Qingqiu walked calmly through the department's interior.

Over the past month, she certainly hadn't been idle.

It should be known that before the era of universal martial artists, the world was already filled with countless hidden monsters and evil practitioners lurking in the shadows.

Therefore...

After simply showcasing her spiritual master techniques to eliminate enemies, she attracted the attention of the martial artist department.

Coupled with Gu Yan's secret backing.

With the support of the Gu family.

This allowed her to directly become the head of the Sword Holding Department. Of course, this was also due to her own robust capabilities.

She already knew about what Gu Yan did in the ancient martial arts world last night.

Qingfeng Sect... huh.

They really deserved it.

Back in the day, the Qingfeng Sect was among those forces that besieged the Leng Family.

Now that they've been wiped out, it can be considered a small step towards her goal.

However, there was one thing that worried Leng Qingqiu.

It was Gu Yan's act of devouring the souls of the Qingfeng Sect members.

Having once been the Night King herself, she naturally knew the risks of absorbing others' souls.

That is... one would also bear all the pain and memories of that person.

Nothing unusual could be seen now, but over time, Gu Yan might be in danger.

Sigh.

Leng Qingqiu sighed inwardly. She had brought Ling'er with her to the headquarters this time.

Firstly, to let Ling'er familiarize herself with the department's environment in advance.

Secondly, to meet some people, so Ling'er wouldn't feel completely lost when she came alone in the future.

Just as she thought of this.

Suddenly.

A familiar figure emerged from the corner ahead.

"Sis!"

"Look, my friend is here too!"

Leng Ling'er joyfully pulled over a girl with an expressionless face.

Leng Qingqiu: ?

.....

......

Beacon of hope.

"Sir, the matter has been settled."

"Leng Qingqiu has become the head of the Sword Holding Department."

A man in a suit respectfully reported to Gu Yan.

"Alright."

"Go back, don't raise any suspicions."

Gu Yan, sitting on the sofa in the office at the top of the building, nodded slightly.

"Yes!"

Swish!

The man in the suit slowly sank into the shadows.

After he left.

Gu Yan's lips curled into a faint smile.

His eyes revealed a mysterious meaning.

Very good.

Leng Qingqiu becoming the head of the Sword Holding Department was just the first step. Next, ensuring everyone trusts her is the second step.

Luo Ya sat at the desk beside him, handling a large number of documents.

She felt utterly powerless seeing Gu Yan discuss such matters openly in front of her.

She shook her head.

What a guy who abuses his power.

Gu Yan glanced at her, picked up his teacup, and took a sip: "Does Principal Luo have something to say?"

"....."

Seeing him ask her, Luo Ya looked up at Gu Yan, and after a moment of silence, said, "Ling Fa came by earlier."

"He has completed the magic array you requested."

"He should be over at the open space now."

Upon hearing this.

Gu Yan smiled slightly, "Got it."

It seems.

The hidden formation of Light of Hope that I asked Ling Fa to create a month ago is finally completed.

Tsk tsk, truly worthy of being the genius of formations in the original work...

Just perfect.

I should go and inspect the work.

Thinking of this.

Gu Yan looked at Luo Ya and said with a gentle, amicable smile, "Principal Luo, the world today is moving towards universal martial artists."

"Our Gu Family will also follow the trend and become a civilian martial artist group."

"Light of Hope will also enter the public eye."

"When the time comes... I'll need you, Principal Luo, to also serve as the group leader."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ya was shocked. The implication of Gu Yan's words.

Is he intending to use the civilian martial artist group to cover up the true situation of Light of Hope?

Her eyes narrowed as she spoke incredulously, "You actually want to do this?"

"Do you know what will happen to you and me if the people in the department find out?"

Is Gu Yan crazy? Once Light of Hope enters the public eye, it will surely attract countless attention.

Even the slightest hint will plunge Gu Yan and the Gu Family into a situation beyond redemption!

"Heh, that's not something you need to worry about, Principal Luo."

"Just make sure you complete the tasks I assign to you."

Gu Yan chuckled softly, his figure disappearing from the place.

Luo Ya watched the spot where Gu Yan left, ultimately letting out a sigh.

......

....

The perimeter of Light of Hope.

Gu Yan, Old Gao, and Ling Fa stood on the only road leading to Light of Hope.

Ling Fa walked to a boundary line, pointing to the endless expanse ahead and explained, "Sir, please look, this is the 'Real and Illusion Concealment Formation' you asked me to create!"

"This area is divided into two parts: one part is the real world, the other part is the illusion world."

"When we insiders use special means to cross it, we can reach the true location of Light of Hope."

With that, Ling Fa raised a bracelet in his hand, leading Gu Yan and Old Gao across the formation's boundary line.

In an instant.

The three seemed to enter another space entirely.

The scene ahead transformed into the black gate of Light of Hope.

Hmm.

Gu Yan felt satisfied; this was exactly what he wanted.

Unless one uses special means to enter, everyone else will just bypass this space and travel a hundred miles further to see a newly established civilian martial artist group named 'Light of Hope.'

Moreover.

Ling Fa has also created a teleportation formation connecting the internal base to the Ancient Martial World base.

Allowing everyone to freely travel to and from the Ancient Martial World.

"Very good."

Gu Yan nodded in satisfaction.

Now.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is lacking.

The next action of the Night Organization... it's time to begin.

Thinking of this.

As Gu Yan walked into Light of Hope, he said to Old Gao behind him:

"Old Gao, have them prepare."

"The next target for elimination."

"Is the 'Reaper' organization from the Western Country."

"Understood, Young Master."

Back then, the forces that attacked the Leng Family's territory included not only organizations from the Ancient Martial World.

But also... martial artist forces hidden in the secular world!!

First, eradicate those with strong influence, causing the weak to band together, and then... annihilate them all at once!

Thus, the revenge will be complete!!
