At their foster parents' home, Ice Shards was wearing very short shorts and a white vest, which showed her bulging chest.

 She went to the window, stretched, and then tidied her fluffy hair.

 At 8:30 in the morning, shortly after she got up, she didn't wash her teeth or brush them. She was awakened by her mother knocking on the door. She said that there was porridge in the kitchen, and told her to eat it before it turned cold. After she woke her daughter up, she went to work.

 The Li family was quite well-off. His adoptive father was a veteran who can do a lot of things. In addition to his salary and bonus, he had a large amount of undisclosed income.

 The reason why his adoptive mother went to work was that there was a college student at home and a parasite that drained the finances of the old folks. The latter, in particular, spent a bomb to travel. Her lifestyle depleted his adoptive father's income in minutes.

 In fact, Ice Shards was not short of money. Although it was an underground organization, it was still a big one. Self-sufficiency was not a problem. However, she had to take her parents' money. After all, she was a spendthrift daughter who traveled all over the country after graduation.

 “There isn't much money at home. I can't give money in the open. Moreover, the finances of the Great Demons' Alliance are being exhausted. That little slave has saved a lot of money. It's disgusting that he didn't give any money this time.” Ice Shards ranted with hate inside.

 Ring, ring, ring~ The cell phone on the bedside table rang, which sounded very primitive. It was an old Nokia, the indestructible phone. This phone was her special mobile phone for contacting the protectors of the Great Demons' Alliance. There were only their contacts in the contacts list.

 Caller: Hu Yan!

 She picked up the phone and walked to the window. Her look was sharp as she stared out of the window. “What's the matter?”

 “The Great Deities Palace is open.” Hu Yan was stern but excited. “Just now, Li Peiyun informed me that the key of the Great Deities Palace had come to life, which means the door of the Great Deities Palace has been opened. Emperor, let's go. The era of the Great Demons' Alliance is here. Everyone is waiting for you. We have to enter the Great Deities Palace ahead of Unparalleled War Spirit's location reveal.” Hu Yan got increasingly excited.

 Ice Shards' facial expression was calm. “Do you think that she really knows the location of the Great Deities Palace?”

 “Emperor, you mean…” He reacted fiercely and was very happy. “She doesn't know the location of the Great Deities Palace. It's great that we can monopolize the Great Deities Palace. Only you know where the Great Deities Palace is.”

 Ice Shards said, “Inform all protectors to a.s.semble at the second headquarters.” As she hung up, she whispered, “That little slave is sensible. He didn't send anyone to watch me.”

 …

 Baoze Group's headquarters, Bas.e.m.e.nt 6.

 The Demon Locking Tower had eight floors. The first floor was for ordinary prisoners. The prisoners on this floor were usually not locked for too long. They were either released or executed. From the second level, it was the prison for demon descendants. From the second floor to the eighth floor, there were many prohibitions and mechanisms everywhere. It was difficult for people without a permit to trespa.s.s.

 There were countless demon descendants who were imprisoned every year. Some of them had changed their ways and left. Some had come in and never gone out again. Those who didn't go out were either killed or used as guinea pigs for Baoze's studies.

 For example, the Golden Virgin who was sent to the prison of the headquarters some time ago, and the two demons on the demon descendants' list. They became part of the puppet plan, had their memories erased, and became human weapons.

 As for the legendary suppressed old demons, they did not exist. No matter how strong demon descendants were, no matter how terrible their powers were, they were ultimately carbon based life.

 There were some important and under-the-table objects stored in Bas.e.m.e.nt 6. Li Xianyu's Meat of Evolution would also be stored here, if he had chosen to hand it over to the company.

 The key to the Great Deities Palace was in a room on the sixth floor. It was stored in a separate room, like precious cultural relics, in a gla.s.s box.

 The room had built-in laser weapons that could cut the intruder into pieces in an instant. Two large caliber anti-aircraft guns were installed on the ceiling facing the door of the room. Each of them was installed in two units. The speed of the bullets could reach twice the speed of sound, which were triggered by automatic equipment. As long as there were intruders, there would be incessant firepower.

 However, this morning, the key to the Great Deities Palace woke up, broke through the gla.s.s box, and drifted around the room like a headless fly. It had been summoned by the dark, and was eager to leave this small world.

 The alarm system in the room was activated, the laser beams swept through the room, and the high-alt.i.tude machine gun on the ceiling fired tens of thousands of bullets in two minutes.

 …

 At noon, several major forums and information websites with the highest traffic shocked tourists' eyes and spread rapidly.

 The ID of the person behind this message: Li Peiyun.

 “The Great Deities Palace is open, DM me to get on the train.”

 There was a video ten seconds long. Within the lens was an irregular metal object, which was held in the palm of someone's hand. It absorbed strong light, shook violently, and tried to break free from the shackles.

 It was this news that triggered the earthquake-like waves. Just two or three days ago, the appearance of the Great Demons' Alliance caused a lot of attention and discussion in the demon descendants' community. The spectators were still talking about it. If they were to talk about it after the meal, they would say, “Impressive, they actually were even with the S-cla.s.s Baoze experts.”

 The storm of the Great Demons' Alliance was not over yet. Then, this year's biggest and hottest topic was the Great Deities Palace! It was finally open. The demon descendants' community was skeptical, but the topic opened up and more and more people joined in the discussion.

 “The Great Deities Palace opened?! @Li Peiyun, I'm under a student pa.s.s. Can I get on the bus?”

 “I have an old p.o.r.n card. I want to get on the bus @Li Peiyun.”

 “Fake news, all of a sudden? In other words, what's in his hand?”

 “Fool, that's the key to the Great Deities Palace. I saw it in my family's portraits.”

 “Who can prove that what he said is true? How can Li Peiyun know that the Great Deities Palace had opened?”

 Then, the movement of Lianghua temple this morning was also exposed on the Internet.

 “I'll tell you a secret. This morning, the light of Lianghua Temple suddenly rose to the sky. All the monks in the temple saw it.”

 “The guy above, how do you know.”

 “I had a friend who was just about to go up the mountain. He saw it at the foot of the mountain.”

 “I also know about this. You can go to the forum of Emei Mountain's scenic spot. In the morning, all the tourists who went to Emei Mountain saw the occurrence at Lianghua temple. Many people have taken photos.”

 “There is a key left by Li Wuxiang with Buddha Head, and there is also a key left by Li Peiyun. The keys of the Great Deities Palace are all abnormal, that is to say… The Great Deities Palace is really open?”

 “I remember the location of the Great Deities Palace. Unparalleled War Spirit knows it!”

 September was the most turbulent month of the year, and the spectators in the demon descendants' community were shaken again and again. First of all, there was the event of Taoist Venerable at the Forum Conference. The leader of the Taoist sect fell and the biggest case in the past hundred years resurfaced with a life-changing plot twist.

 Then came the sudden emergence of a huge organization, Great Demons' Alliance. A cult with many top S-cla.s.s experts appeared silently. Even Baoze failed to take it down at one shot.

 The storm of the Great Demons' Alliance hadn't pa.s.sed yet, and the Great Deities Palace came out to join the fun.

 The Great Deities Palace was the biggest hot topic this year. Since the key possessed its own spirit, it had always been a topic of concern to the demon descendants' community.

 It was not just the focus of the local demon descendants' community. In the past few months, foreign demon descendants had been pouring into China; they had come for this

 …

 Baoze Group.

 Conference Room 1, a large conference room with a capacity of 100 people, was now full of people.

 This was the meeting of the law enforcement department, which was chaired by Lightning King. He sat at the chairman's place, with Thunderlord Lin Chuan and Earth G.o.d Tian Hao on the left and right. Ape G.o.d and San Wu made up the 3rd and 4th S-cla.s.ses.

 In addition, almost all the senior employees of the law enforcement department who stayed in the company were present.

 “This Li Peiyun should have been executed directly!” Lightning King slapped his hand on the table with a fierce voice.

 After the opening of the Great Deities Palace, there was no doubt that the Li family would be in the center of the storm. The key point was that the Unparalleled War Spirit did not know the location of the Great Deities Palace. Only Lightning King knew this fact because Li Xianyu had told only him.

 “Thunderlord, how is the key to the Great Deities Palace?” When Lightning King finished his fire, he looked at Lin Chuan, the person directly to his left.

 “It's under control. It's sealed in Bas.e.m.e.nt 6,” Lin Chuan replied. This year, he was the S-cla.s.s expert in charge of guarding the Demon Locking Tower, in the headquarters of Baoze. Every year, there must be an S-cla.s.s expert guarding the place.

 The other branches were okay. They didn't imprison terrifying demon descendants. The S-cla.s.s ones were usually sent to the Demon Locking Tower. Shanghai was the territory of Baoze, safety index: full marks!

 “Gentlemen, I am not calling you to a meeting for the sake of the Great Deities Palace, but to prepare you for stability,” Lightning King said. “From today on, all branches of Baoze, including the headquarters, will enter into a state of operation.”

 Ape G.o.d frowned. “What do you mean, King?”

 “Elder Li doesn't actually know the location of the Great Deities Palace,” Lightning King said. He coldly threw out a heavy bomb, stunned all the employees on the scene, and looked at Li Xianyu and the Unparalleled War Spirit. Great-Grandma was not a Baoze employee, but she had been allowed to attend the meeting. She looked at everyone and nodded her head.

 “At the beginning, when Li Xianyu entered the world of demon descendants, his accomplishments were still shallow. It happened that the Great Deities Palace was opened, and he was suspected of “harboring” Li Wuxiang's inheritance. Surrounded by wolves, in order to fight for time, the agreement was drafted at Lianghua Temple. Now that the Great Deities Palace is open, all forces are bound to come.”

 At this time, no one would believe that the Unparalleled War Spirit did not know where the Great Deities Palace was. It would be suspected that Baoze intended to take the Great Deities Palace for themselves. The Li family would be in the center of the storm, and Baoze would also be involved.

 All the families, even the scattered cultivators' organizations, would work together tacitly to create pressure on Baoze and force them to announce the location of the Great Deities Palace. For example, make a mess all over the country.

 Hence, this meeting was actually a mobilization meeting. Their mentality was: “Comrades, it's time to work. Whoever dares to speak up, we'll beat him up.”

 Since Baoze absorbed Li Xianyu to become a member of the company, they had to weather the blame, and there was no reason to burn any bridges.

 The hearts of all the people present sank.

 All of the other forces were looking forward to it. Today, they would be playing. Who could tolerate this?

 “What a high stakes game,” someone muttered.

 “The domestic forces are okay, but those foreign forces have no worries about making trouble…” Someone else was worried.

 “So we have to…” Before Lightning King finished, the door of the conference room was opened, and his beautiful secretary came in.

 In her early thirties, the female secretary was charming in appearance and graceful in stature. She was not only the secretary of Lightning King, but also the secretary of his life. They were friends with benefits. The senior staff of the company knew their relations.h.i.+p.

 “I'm in a meeting. What can I do for you?” Lightning King frowned.

 “The leaders of the seven families, the council of the scattered cultivators' organization, the elders of the Taoist and Buddhist a.s.sociations, and the leaders of the various demon descendant families have arrived at the company hall and asked to see you,” said the female secretary.

 Seven families, scattered cultivators' organization, Taoist and Buddhist a.s.sociations, as well as the heads of many demon descendant families… This had covered the entire demon descendants' community.

 At this juncture, the theory that these groups of people came by accident was certainly unrealistic. They would surely have had contact in private.

 Cut-throat?

 Joint pressure?

 Many employees had different thoughts.

 Lightning King thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, “Let's end the meeting here. Elder Li, you and Li Xianyu have to stay. Ape G.o.d and the four of you, stay here. The others, go out.”

 After that, he looked towards the secretary and ordered, “Invite them in.”
