Since the Immovable Stone was acquired by Shen Yao, Jiang Ao, and Peng Shaoshi, except for Peng Shaoshi who followed Su Yang and Lin Anlan's trail, the other two returned to headquarters to report.

Peng Shaoshi was also unlucky. He was outmaneuvered by Su Yang with his flight as soon as he left Warrenster Port. He finally arrived in South Bay City, but soon encountered soldiers collecting war preparation funds. Just as Peng Shaoshi was about to resist with force, he saw the figure of the Holy Knights in the distance. He recognized them as a team of Holy Knights at a glance. In order not to expose his identity as an Insulator, he could only swallow his anger and obediently hand over the war preparation funds, and was even humiliated by the soldiers.

Peng Shaoshi thought he could finally focus on tracking Su Yang, but he still hadn't found them. On the night Su Yang fought the Saint Knights, Peng Shaoshi had noticed the soldiers' unusual movements and was about to go and investigate when he unexpectedly encountered the Saint Knights' reinforcements. He was extremely frustrated, thinking that a mission that could mobilize the Saint Knights must be related to the demons. According to the Saints' Sect's usual style of doing things, they would leave no trace of the demons, so he gave up the idea of ​​investigating. He had missed another opportunity. If he had been there that day, it was hard to say whether Su Yang would have lived or died.

After Su Yang left Nanwan City to recuperate, Peng Shaoshi was still wandering around the city until he lost patience and thought that this kid had probably gone to the royal city. So he left Nanwan City and headed to the royal city, only to miss Su Yang once again.

Sometimes fate is just like that, and the first thing Peng Shaoshi did after arriving in the royal city ahead of time was to reorganize the Human Extinction. After all, when he left the island, he had already ordered the Human Extinction's Political Department and Technical Department to evacuate, and the Martial Department was basically wiped out. If the resolution of the Guardian Council were followed, the Human Extinction should simply be abolished and merged into the Heavenly Extinction and Earthly Extinction. However, the Chief Commander was sentimental and had received Shen Yao's order while he was still in Nanwan City to reorganize the Human Extinction in the royal city. This was the second reason why Peng Shaoshi came to the royal city directly.

Joining Peng Shaoshi was the newly appointed Chief of the Human Forces—Zhou Tianwu. After Jin Huage's death, Shen Yao personally selected him to succeed as Chief of the Human Forces. Zhou Tianwu knew in his heart that the so-called personal selection was nothing more than an arbitrary appointment. Unless Jin Huage stepped down, this position would never be his. However, he still had to give him the respect due to the position. At this moment, Zhou Tianwu and the newly appointed Chief of the Human Forces, Locke, could only nod and bow to Peng Shaoshi.

Seeing that the new Chief of Staff and the new Director of the Military Division had arrived, Peng Shaoshi didn't waste any time and immediately said, "Chief of Staff Zhou, Chief of Staff Jin passed away at a young age. The Director of the Military Division, out of compassion for his dedication to the organization, decided to preserve the Human Extinction. You must reorganize the Human Extinction, especially the Military Division. Currently, most of the members of the Human Extinction Military Division have died. Therefore, the Political Division and the Technical Division will not be required to participate in today's reorganization meeting. Your most important task is to rebuild the Military Division. Are there any other questions?"

Peng Shaoshi's effeminate voice reached Zhou Tianwu and Locke's ears, making them very uncomfortable. However, they were no match for him in a fight and had less power than others, so they could only obediently accept the order.

Seeing that the order had been given, Peng Shaoshi turned around and prepared to leave. After all, he didn't want to deal with the weakest department, Renjue, at all. When Zhou Tianwu saw that he was about to leave, he immediately asked the most crucial question: "Guardian, where would be a suitable location for our new Renjue headquarters?"

Peng Shaoshi turned around and said impatiently, "Do I really need to be asked where the headquarters is located?! Who do you think you are, the supreme commander or am I?!"

After being scolded by Peng Shaoshi, Zhou Tianwu and his companion immediately shut their mouths and dared not utter a sound. After Peng Shaoshi calmed down a bit, he gave clear guidance: "Let's set it up in the capital city of the Paisen Duchy. Let the government help raise money and recruit people. The Paisen Duchy is so rich, it will be of great help to the reconstruction of the people." After saying that, he left, not giving Zhou Tianwu and his companion a chance to ask any more questions.

Watching Peng Shaoshi's departing figure, the two could only hide their dissatisfaction in their hearts. After contacting Wang Ming, they immediately asked him to organize the political staff in the Principality of Paisen to start raising money.

Wang Ming was also displeased when he received the news. He thought he had a chance to take over the position of chief of staff, but unexpectedly, Zhou Tianwu took the opportunity to seize the position. However, since things had come to this, he could only obey orders.

The officials in the capital were quickly mobilized. Whether they were high-ranking officials or wealthy merchants, they all began to use their resources. Those with money contributed money, and those without money contacted those with money. Gradually, both money and manpower were in place.

The location of the Human Extinction Headquarters was quickly selected under the management of the Political Department. The next step was the recruitment of the Martial Department, which was also handled by the Political Department and Locke. We will leave that aside for now.

After returning to the Insulators headquarters, Shen Yao placed the Immovable Stone on a special teleportation device. Soon after, the device lit up, and the Immovable Stone, along with its storage device, was teleported away.

Seeing the Immovable Stone being moved away, Shen Yao finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. Jiang Ao also sighed, finally completing this tricky task; otherwise, he didn't know how long he would have been on tenterhooks.

The two turned to leave, but after only a few steps, the teleportation device behind them started working again, and a note was sent back.

Helpless, Shen Yao had no choice but to turn back, take out a slip of paper from the teleportation device, and open it. Inside, he saw the words: "The Immovable Stone has a flaw."

Shen Yao's mind went blank. The Immovable Stone he had brought back with great difficulty was now being said to be missing a piece. Did that mean he would have to go find the missing part?

Shen Yao patted Jiang Ao on the shoulder, exchanged a helpless glance with him, and said, "Let's gather the other guardians."

"What about Peng Shaoshi? Should we call him back too?" Jiang Ao asked, thinking of Peng Shaoshi.

“He has other tasks, so let’s not call him back. Let’s discuss it ourselves first, and then tell him our conclusions and methods.” Shen Yao remembered the task he had assigned to Peng Shaoshi and decisively refused to recall him.

"Alright, then I'll go and gather the other guardians."

Fortunately, all the guardians were at the headquarters, making it easier to gather them. Before long, all six guardians except Peng Shaoshi were gathered in the meeting room.

Shen Yao tapped the table and passed the note from the Chief Commander to everyone. While everyone was reading it, Shen Yao spoke up: "Although the Immovable Stone has been successfully obtained, the Chief Commander instructed that the Immovable Stone is missing a part. In order for the Immovable Stone to perform its original function, and to prevent other elemental stones from having the same problem, we must find out the whereabouts of the missing piece of the Immovable Stone."
