One person said: "If I make you a holy child, will you be granted godhood through the art of Gu

His face turned pale instantly, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his right hand even trembled slightly involuntarily.

Zhai Xing Society is one of the most mysterious and powerful organizations in the world of supernatural beings. It is said that it only recruits top supernatural beings with special talents.

Their whereabouts are elusive, and their strength is unfathomable.

Even a powerful clan like the Lü family wouldn't dare to easily become their enemy.

Lu Ci's expression also froze for a moment, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes, before he regained his composure.

He stared intently at the badge, as if it were a venomous snake that might strike at any moment.

"You mean... Lü Liang has joined the Zhai Xing Society?"

“That’s right,” Qu Tong replied calmly. “Lü Liang is now a member of the Zhai Xing Society and is under their protection.”

"If the Lü family insists on harming him, they will likely face severe retaliation from Zhai Xingshe."

The news was like a bomb, causing an uproar in the hall.

The elders began to whisper among themselves, discussing the matter.

The expression on his face went from surprise to fear, then to unease, and finally to a complex contradiction.

"This is impossible!"

Lu Ci suddenly stood up, his face terribly grim, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger. "How could Lu Liang possibly join the Zhai Xing Society?"

"The Zhai Xing Society only recruits the most outstanding individuals with extraordinary abilities. What merit does Lü Liang possess to qualify?"

His voice was filled with disbelief and a hint of barely concealed fear.

If Lü Liang really joined Zhai Xing Society, then things would become extremely complicated.

This is more complicated than joining the All-Powerful.

Qu Tong smiled slightly, a smile that carried a hint of mystery and confidence: "Elder Lü need not doubt this."

“Zhai Xingshe is not only looking at the surface strength, but also the potential and special qualities.”

"Lü Liang's abilities may be insignificant in Elder Lü's eyes, but in Zhai Xingshe's view, he is a rare talent."

Lu Ci frowned, his mind filled with a multitude of thoughts.

His gaze shifted constantly, from anger to confusion, then to unease, and finally to a complex contradiction.

If Lü Liang really joined Zhai Xing Society, then things would become complicated.

Zhai Xing Society wields considerable influence in the world of supernatural beings; angering them could have dire consequences.

A sense of fear welled up deep within Lü Ci.

He knew how terrifying Zhai Xing Society was; it was an existence that even the Quanxing Sect dared not easily provoke.

If Lü Liang is indeed a member of Zhai Xing Society, then his actions today have undoubtedly stepped into an extremely dangerous minefield.

But he couldn't accept that Lü Liang would be taken away like this.

If Lü Liang were to reveal the Lü family's secrets, especially his secret plans, the consequences would be equally unimaginable.

“Even so, as a member of the Lü family, Lü Liang committed the crime of betrayal and deserves to be punished,” Lü Ci said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with resentment and anger.

"No matter how powerful Zhai Xingshe is, it has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of my Lü family!"

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, revealing his inner struggle and anger.

The atmosphere in the hall became tense and confrontational.

The air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The elders instinctively assumed a fighting stance, ready to deal with any potential conflict.

Qu Tong remained unmoved and calmly looked at Lü Ci: "Elder Lü, I think you've misunderstood."

"Zhai Xingshe is not trying to interfere in the internal affairs of the Lü family, but to protect its own members."

"If Lü Liang has really committed any crime, he can produce evidence and let Zhai Xingshe judge it."

"But if it's just a fabricated charge, that's probably not enough."

"Furthermore," Qu Tong paused, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes that pierced Lü Ci's soul, "Elder Lü, are you sure Lü Liang really betrayed the Lü family?"

"Only Elder Lü truly knows the truth."

These words struck Lü Ci's heart like a heavy hammer.

His face turned pale instantly, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and a hint of panic and fear flashed in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Qu Tong was able to see through his trick.

"What...what do you mean by this?" Lu Ci's voice trembled slightly, clearly losing his previous composure and authority.

His gaze wandered involuntarily, and he dared not look directly into Qu Tong's eyes, for fear that she would see through his inner secrets.

Qu Tong did not answer directly, but calmly said, "Lu Liang has already told me some things, about Elder Lu Ci's... special plans."

"If these matters were made public, it wouldn't just be the Lü family; the entire world of supernatural beings would be shaken."

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was like a sharp sword, aimed directly at Lü Ci's vitals.

Lu Ci's face changed completely, his eyes filled with terror and despair.

He never expected that Lü Liang would tell Qu Tong those secrets, which was undoubtedly a disaster for him.

His breathing became rapid, and his fingers trembled involuntarily.

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind as I tried to find a proper way to resolve the current predicament.

The elders standing nearby were completely bewildered, exchanging puzzled glances.

I feel like I've missed some important information, but I don't dare to ask questions rashly.

However, looking at Lü Ci's unusual behavior...

Everyone was also very puzzled.

The other party's reaction today was clearly beyond normal, which made them suspect that Lü Liang's matter was probably not so simple.

Lu Ci took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Looking around, he saw the elders' puzzled looks and his heart sank.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable to him, and if it is not handled properly...

Not only will they lose their status in the Lü family, but they may even face more serious consequences.

“Okay, I promise you.” Lü Ci’s voice was low and hoarse.

“I can release Lü Liang, but you must guarantee that those… things won’t leak out.”

Qu Tong nodded: "Of course. As long as Lü Liang is safe and sound, those matters will be sealed away forever, and no third person will know."

Lu Ci's eyes flickered uncertainly.

On the one hand, he didn't want to let Lü Liang go because Lü Liang knew too many secrets about him;

On the other hand, if Lü Liang really joined Zhai Xing Society, forcibly keeping him might cause even bigger trouble.

More importantly, if Qu Tong reveals those secrets, his position in the Lü family and the world of supernatural beings will be in jeopardy.

Ultimately, after much deliberation, they chose to compromise.

After a moment of silence, he waved his hand: "Bring Lü Liang up."

A young boy took the order and soon led Lü Liang back to the side hall.

Lu Liang was in a bad condition, covered in wounds. His left arm was simply bandaged, but it was still clear that it was a serious fracture.

His face was pale, his lips were chapped, and there was a bluish-purple ring around his eyes.

"Lü Liang!" Qu Tong's eyes flashed with anger upon seeing his miserable state, but she quickly regained her composure. "Are you alright?"

When Lü Liang saw Qu Tong, a hint of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes.

He then became wary, his gaze sweeping over Lü Ci and the other elders.

He never expected Qu Tong to come and save him.

This was a treatment they had never received before at Quanxing.
