Chapter 94 Jade Pool: A Gathering of Powerful Figures from Other Countries!
Liu Yiyi slowly raised her hand, feeling the unprecedented, earth-shattering power within her body.
A mesmerizing yet dangerous smile involuntarily crept onto his face.
This feeling... is wonderful!
She glanced briefly at Lin Xue, whose face was filled with wariness and horror.
A hint of disdain flashed in those dark purple demonic eyes.
She slowly raised her head, her gaze piercing through the endless void, looking towards the distant Kunlun Mountains.
"Su Chen... I really have to thank you for this 'gift'."
Liu Yiyi murmured to herself in words only she could hear.
To her even greater surprise, after merging with that pure demonic energy, a massive flow of information also flooded into her mind.
That seemed to be some kind of innate talent of demonic energy, or perhaps a gift from Wu Jingyao's life's essence.
A kind of "prophetic" ability was completely fulfilled in her.
Although it was blurry, she did "see" many fragments of the future.
Among them is the supreme treasure in Su Chen's hands—the Pure World White Lotus!
"The Pure White Lotus... I see..."
"It would be a terrible waste to use such a divine object merely to purify demonic energy."
"It should have a greater purpose..."
Liu Yiyi stuck out her scarlet tongue and gently licked her lips.
In his dark purple demonic eyes, unfathomable greed and ambition gleamed.
A plan even crazier and bolder than before quietly sprouted in her mind.

Fire Seed Project Base
As soon as Su Chen landed, Elder Long came to greet him.
"Little Su, you're finally back! The leader wants to see you!"
Su Chen nodded and asked, "How are those ability users that Liu Yiyi selected from the Angel Alliance last time doing?"
When Wu Jingyao was the commander-in-chief, she turned almost all the superhumans into her blood slaves, resulting in a shortage of high-end combat power in the base.
After regaining control, Su Chen's first priority was to bring in fresh blood.
Now, with the spread of demonic energy across the globe, the situation is becoming increasingly dire.
He urgently needs a group of top-notch athletes to prepare for the upcoming trip to Kunlun Mountain.
Upon hearing Su Chen's question, Elder Long let out a long sigh.
"Sigh! They've all come, but they're all formidable characters, quite capable, and even more temperamental!"
"They're all used to being lazy and don't really follow orders!"
Old Long shook his head, his voice deepening, "If it weren't for Lin Xue and the Ice Phoenix Special Forces using their iron fist to suppress them, this base would probably have been torn down long ago!"
This group of people are all A-level and S-level powerhouses carefully selected from loose organizations like the Angel Alliance.
Accustomed to freedom and doing as they please, they couldn't stand the management of the base.
Su Chen paused for a moment, then resumed his normal pace.
This situation was within his expectations.
"Alright! After I've met with the leader, I'll go and meet them!"
Su Chen's tone was calm, yet it conveyed a sense of confident decisiveness.
Looking at his calm profile, Old Master Long felt relieved.
……
Xishan, Sanatorium No. 1.
When Su Chen met the leader, the old man was sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, leisurely brewing tea.
The two sat facing each other, and Su Chen, without uttering a single wasted word, recounted in detail everything that had happened in the sea.
The leader listened quietly, his expressionless face revealing little emotion, only occasionally picking up his teacup to take a small sip.
Only after Su Chen finished speaking did he put down his teacup and look at Su Chen solemnly.
"Su Chen, thank you!"
This thank you came from the bottom of my heart and was full of sincerity.
Su Chen smiled modestly: "You don't need to be so polite. If I don't do something meaningful in this position, I'm afraid I could be kicked out at any time!"
His words were half a joke and half the truth.
The leader laughed and pointed at Su Chen: "You little rascal, you're quite frank!"
After laughing, the leader's face became somewhat serious.
Instead of continuing on that topic, they got to the main point.
"Do you have a way to stop the spread of demonic energy?"
Su Chen nodded, giving an affirmative answer: "Yes! I have found out that there is a secret realm called 'Jade Pool' deep in the Death Valley of the Kunlun Mountains."
"Within this secret realm grows a rare and precious plant of heaven and earth, called the 'Purifying White Lotus,' which can purify demonic energy!"
"To ensure everything goes smoothly, I plan to lead the team there myself!"
Upon hearing that Su Chen was going, the leader's tense nerves relaxed considerably.
With Su Chen around, the matter is already more than half successful.
He nodded in agreement.
Then he spoke up to remind them, "Xiao Su, other countries have also received intelligence about the Pure World White Lotus and have already sent people to compete for it!"
"According to the intelligence we received, the Rainbow Nation has dispatched the 'Onimusha' this time. The leader is a peak S-rank swordsman codenamed 'Onikiri'."
"In addition, the Holy Light Church of Tajikistan has also taken action. They have dispatched their most elite 'Holy Light Knights' order, led by 'Gabriel,' who is also a peak S-rank expert. You must be careful on this trip."
Su Chen listened quietly, his heart unmoved.
Demonic energy is a global catastrophe, and it is only natural that other countries would intervene.
……
The capital city, the Tie family.
When news of Tie Ying's death broke out, the entire Tie family fell into a deathly silence.
Tieying's wife, Yu Lan, fainted on the spot, while his son, Tieshan, stood there with bloodshot eyes.
Grief overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.
But what made him feel even more desperate and angry was that along with the bad news came another message.
His younger sister, Tie Xinlan, has gone missing, and her fate is unknown.
"Dad! Xiaolan!"
Tieshan knelt down and slammed his fist hard into the hard ground.
He was covered in blood, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.
He had only one thought in his mind.
All of this is related to Su Chen!
It must be Su Chen!!!
If it weren't for him, my father wouldn't have died! My sister wouldn't have gone missing!
A surge of overwhelming hatred burned within him, almost driving him to madness.
Tieshan stood up unsteadily, wiping away the tears on his face, leaving only a cold and resolute expression.
He vowed to find his sister and, at the same time, to find out the real cause of his father's death!
Su Chen must pay for his crimes in blood!
Tieshan rushed into his sister Tie Xinlan's room and frantically searched for any clue.
Desk, under the bed, wardrobe...
Suddenly, he stopped moving.
Deep inside the wardrobe, he touched a cold, hard object.
It is a metal box.
Tieshan's pupils contracted; he remembered.
Before his father left, his mother took out an identical metal box!
To my surprise, my sister has one too!
What exactly is inside?
Driven by intense curiosity, he took out the tin box with trembling hands.
He took a deep breath and suddenly opened the box.
The moment the box was opened, an extremely cold and eerie aura rushed out.
Inside the box, a wisp of black gas was slowly wriggling, like a living thing.
This... is demonic energy!
