Contrary to what many people imagine, while Goryeo is resistant and disgusted by East Xia, it also places great importance on many aspects of East Xia's culture, to the extent that it constantly thinks about seizing them for itself… For example, traditional Chinese medicine, which is declining in East Xia, is quite popular in Goryeo. When students prepare for exams, most families arrange for traditional Chinese medicine to be brewed for physical conditioning.
Xu's Pharmaceutical Group is a leading conglomerate in this field. Although it cannot compare to the March Conglomerate, it is still a recognizable name in Seoul.
The headquarters of Xu's Pharmaceutical Group is located in a district far from the city center in Seoul. When Li Qingzi arrived with the March Conglomerate's motorcade, she noticed that the headquarters building, which should have been bustling with staff, only had a few black-suited bodyguards guarding the entrance, with no sign of any employees.
Li Qingzi lowered her eyelids, likely understanding Xu Zhiyu's style of doing things. She walked over with several directors, her expression unchanged.
"Miss Li, Director Xu has only invited you to go up."
Li Qingzi didn't bother to acknowledge the bodyguards and walked straight past them. Naturally, her own bodyguards stepped forward to block the black-suited bodyguards at the door, and the group entered through the main entrance in an orderly fashion.
This imposing and clean headquarters building felt unusually cold due to the lack of people, and the atmosphere became somewhat strange. The two directors following Li Qingzi exchanged glances but remained silent.
Unlike the external speculation that she inherited wealth through the favor of family elders, this eldest daughter of March is very capable. Several aunts and uncles have already been defeated by her.
When such a person acts, there is no room for their interference.
The elevator stopped at the 33rd floor. As the doors opened, a man in a custom-tailored suit stood at the entrance, smiling.
The man was about 1.85 meters tall, with a well-proportioned and slender build, and a handsome face. His hair was impeccably styled, presenting the image of a standard elite. However, what Li Qingzi paid more attention to was his hands, which were unusually long and smooth like jade.
Seeing Li Qingzi, Xu Zhiyu's smile brightened. He stepped aside and said,
"You are indeed as exceptional as I imagined."
Xu Zhiyu then directly led Li Qingzi towards the reception room, not even glancing at the March Conglomerate directors who were following her.
This scene made the directors feel even stranger. Logically, although the other party was the eldest son of the conglomerate, he was currently only a director. There were rumors that the helmsman of the Xu's Conglomerate favored the second son and paid no attention to the eldest, so he had no reason to be so arrogant towards them.
Xu Zhiyu stood at the entrance of the reception room, waiting for Li Qingzi to enter, his face beaming with a smile, but he quietly said,
"Is Miss Moon Demon bringing these mortals to cover her tracks?"
"There's no need for such things, heh…"
As he spoke, a chilling Killing Intent Ripple was revealed. Li Qingzi frowned; this Xu Zhiyu gave her a very dangerous feeling. This constant emanation of malice felt strangely familiar to her.
That's right, this guy gives off a similar vibe to Bai Cangshu!
Li Qingzi waved her hand, signaling the directors to find a place to wait, while she entered the reception room. Three people were already waiting inside, and upon seeing Li Qingzi and Xu Zhiyu, they all showed different expressions.
There was curiosity, relief, and wariness.
Xu Zhiyu closed the door, only to see Li Qingzi had naturally taken the main seat, her posture of authority completely natural.
Li Qingzi noticed Xu Zhiyu's gaze, her eyebrows merely twitching slightly, then her lips moved.
"Is there a problem?"
Xu Zhiyu's smile widened. He shrugged his shoulders, then, without sitting down, unbuttoned his suit jacket and said,
"You are all, as far as I know, some of the few elite Reincarnators in Goryeo. I have invited you here today to discuss important matters that only elites like us can decide."
Li Qingzi scrutinized Xu Zhiyu, assessing his strength.
There wasn't much information about the Yixin Society in the space. After seeing the invitation last night, she had inquired about some information through a familiar information broker, only knowing that the Yixin Society was likely a local Reincarnator force in Goryeo, and all its members were Goryeans.
And the leader of the Yixin Society was known for being violent, but in the space, he wasn't called a "fierce person." So, it was highly probable that he was the type whose combat style was cruel, or who was very brutal towards ordinary people and plot characters.
Such individuals are often lunatics, constantly satisfying their desires through slaughter.
The only thing that concerned Li Qingzi was that some rumors suggested he was a special Reincarnator with a special card, possessing unique abilities.
"Hmph, even if this lady is indeed the 'Moon Demon' you speak of, but with our strength, none of us being Title Grade Reincarnators, discussing such a major event that determines the fate of the nation is still a bit too absurd."
The Reincarnator sitting by the window wore a coffee-colored hat, its brim pulled low, almost completely obscuring his face. He was thoroughly bundled up, and his hands were in his pockets. All these behaviors indicated his subconscious distrust of Xu Zhiyu.
At this moment, he also spoke up in retort.
Li Qingzi did not speak, merely crossing one leg and sitting elegantly in the main seat, as if she were the owner of the place.
Xu Zhiyu was questioned but showed no annoyance. He walked among them, his expression casual.
"Title-level Reincarnator?"
"They are merely individuals who seized early space dividends. Are they really that strong?"
As he spoke, a scarlet light began to emerge from his space imprint on his right hand. That unusual light quickly drew everyone's attention.
The Reincarnator wearing the hat reacted most violently. He looked up, his face extremely distorted, with an amber-like crystal on his brow, and his entire face resembled a giant bird's face.
Several Gantz appeared both in front of and behind him. With a shake of his body, they immediately shot in all directions.
Bang bang bang!
In a series of crisp sounds, the objects touched by the Gantz instantly vanished, leaving huge spherical voids.
Li Qingzi sat on the sofa, merely tilting her head, allowing the Gantz to erase the wall behind her.
The reactions of the others were much more intense. This attack was extremely dangerous, clearly a space-cutting ability.
The birdman knew he had overreacted, but he had witnessed Xu Zhiyu's actions before. This guy, codenamed "Director," was definitely a freak obsessed with killing, so he always remained wary of Xu Zhiyu.
The birdman pushed off with both feet, and his entire body fell backward towards the cut-open wall.
Xu Zhiyu watched this scene and shook his head helplessly.
"If you don't trust me, you shouldn't have shown up in the first place."
The scarlet light intensified. His body vanished instantly. The next moment, a scarlet great snake emerged from the broken wall, and in an instant, it bit the Reincarnator falling from the air and immediately retracted.
The scarlet light extinguished, leaving only the corpse of a Reincarnator with a torn neck falling into the reception room. Before long, it transformed into a scarlet drop card.

Xu Zhiyu shrugged at the others, still smiling.
"This guy is too useless, and indeed unworthy to sit at the same table as us."
Li Qingzi lowered her eyelids, guessing in her heart if that power just now was the power of his special card. She suddenly remembered that during her invasion by God Hand, she seemed to have also seen a similar scarlet light on Bai Cangshu's right hand.
In other words, these two are most likely special Reincarnators of the same sequence?
Hiss~
Li Qingzi's brows furrowed tightly, enduring the intense pain. She quickly cleared her mind.
Xu Zhiyu, however, keenly caught this moment. His eyes narrowed dangerously.
Is Moon Demon not in good condition?
Killing intent unconsciously began to spread.
—
"Hello?"
Bai Cangshu opened his phone, which he hadn't used in a long time, not expecting anyone to call him now.
"Is this student Bai Cangshu? I'm Luo Shui."
A somewhat unfamiliar voice came from the phone.
"Oh… Officer Luo."
"It's like this, student Bai Cangshu, my master said that Myanmar has been unstable recently. Didn't you find a job and go to Yunnan before? I just wanted to remind you, if necessary, it's best to stay away from that area."
The female police officer's voice was very serious. She was indeed reminding him out of some acquaintance with Bai Cangshu, absolutely not for any personal reasons.
Pfft!
Bai Cangshu pulled out the dark dragon slayer sword. The corpse, with only a few inches of flesh still connected, naturally lost its life and fell to the ground with gushing blood, twitching.
"What happened in Myanmar?"
Bai Cangshu, holding the dragon slayer sword, looked at the scattered corpses in the building, shook his head, and approached the last secret door.
"My master said it seems there's a perverted serial killer over there who has committed many cases recently, and his notoriety has spread to our country."
"You just need to stay away. A job is a job, East Xia is so big, you'll find something."
Bai Cangshu nodded continuously, agreeing readily. Then he raised the dragon slayer sword and directly stabbed it into the secret door.
Pfft!
The sound of gushing blood was quite loud, and Officer Luo heard it too.
"What's that sound on your end?"
"Oh, just a client here drank too much and is throwing up."
Bai Cangshu casually made up a few lies, then dismissed the well-meaning Officer Luo. After hanging up, he put away the dragon slayer sword, listened for a moment, confirmed that there were indeed no living people left in the camp, and then turned to leave.
