Jiuxiao Yun floated on the lake's surface, scanning around, but he didn't see the white light that knocked the Demon Shark into the lake. He laughed and said, "As expected of the Commander of the Technician Group, it was presumptuous of me, Jiuxiao Yun. I return the Demon Spirit Ring in full, and I hope Commander Li can forgive me."

"Returning it in full is expected, but I was scared twice in a row. How do you plan to compensate for my mental distress?" Li Xiu squinted and asked. After the Dragon Vein Spirit's strike, he had already withdrawn it, so naturally Jiuxiao Yun couldn't have seen it.

"Commander Li, having more friends leads to more paths. Don't push too hard. Aren't you afraid that even your sleep will be disturbed in the future?" Jiuxiao Yun snorted coldly.

He was clearly threatening Li Xiu, implying that with his Demon Shark, he could launch a surprise attack anytime, making it hard for Li Xiu to sleep peacefully.

"So you're saying you don't plan to compensate for my mental distress?" Li Xiu's face darkened, and he directly issued an order to the Jedi Knight.

The Jedi Knight instantly entered Super Spirit State, holding dual blades, glowing with luminescence, and slashed toward Jiuxiao Yun in the lake.

Red blade lights flew out one after another, scaring Jiuxiao Yun into quickly swimming away, while shouting, "I'll pay... I'll pay...!"

The Blood Light Slash hit the lake, causing water splashes to erupt almost hitting Jiuxiao Yun.

Jiuxiao Yun immediately felt deflated. He could see that Li Xiu was genuinely intent on killing him without the slightest intention of holding back. If he had been any slower just now, he'd probably have been chopped into pieces and fed to the fish.

"First throw my Demon Spirit Rings back." Li Xiu said to Jiuxiao Yun in the lake.

Jiuxiao Yun retrieved the two Demon Spirit Rings he had just snatched from his pocket and threw them back, secretly vowing, "Just wait until I get out of this lake, then I'll deal with you."

Li Xiu caught the two Demon Spirit Rings, confirmed they were correct, and then, smiling, looked at Jiuxiao Yun, "Now let's talk about the mental distress compensation. How much do you plan to pay me?"

"Commander Li, I have a Talent Gemstone here, it's an S-class gem, I'll give it to you as compensation. What do you think?" Jiuxiao Yun held a Talent Gemstone, letting Li Xiu see it.

"Sure, throw the gemstone over here first." Li Xiu said.

"Let me get ashore first; what if you take the gemstone and don't let me go?" Jiuxiao Yun said.

"I need to see the gemstone first; otherwise, how do I know if it's really an S-class Talent Gemstone?" Li Xiu replied coldly.

"Alright then." Jiuxiao Yun said, throwing the gemstone, using a lot of force to toss it far away.

Li Xiu remained unmoved, staying with the Jedi Knight by the lakeside, summoning the Black Death Demon King to fetch the Talent Gemstone Jiuxiao Yun threw.

Seeing this, Jiuxiao Yun was somewhat annoyed. He originally planned to rush ashore or fly directly into the sky while Li Xiu retrieved the gemstone.

As long as he left the water with the Demon Shark on him, he could disappear without a trace and deal with Li Xiu later.

But Li Xiu was completely unfazed, not even showing a hint of wavering, just staring at him. This left Jiuxiao Yun extremely frustrated.

"Commander level is truly not someone to be trifled with." Jiuxiao Yun felt even more frustrated seeing Li Xiu directly use the Talent Gemstone he had thrown away.

"Is this what you call an S-class Talent Gemstone?" After using the Talent Gemstone, Li Xiu found it to be an ordinary E-class Talent Skill, and the kind that couldn't even upgrade, looking at Jiuxiao Yun with increasing hostility.

"Ahem, don't be angry, Commander Li. I really don't have any other alternatives right now. That's the only thing I have with me, and there's really nothing else I can compensate you with." Jiuxiao Yun said helplessly.

"So, you refuse to compensate, is that it? Ah Jue." Li Xiu called over the Jedi Knight.

"Wait... please wait..." Seeing the Jedi Knight ready to attack, Jiuxiao Yun quickly said, "While I don't have any goods to compensate you, I know a secret that might interest you."

"Attack." Li Xiu said coldly.

The Jedi Knight raised its blade to strike, while Jiuxiao Yun dodged the Blood Light Slash, yelling, "This secret concerns how you became the Commander of the Seventh Group..."

"What do you know?" Li Xiu halted the Jedi Knight, gazing at Jiuxiao Yun, "I'm out of patience, this is your last chance."

Jiuxiao Yun said, "I overheard this secret by accident. You know I have the Demon Light Shark as my spirit, sometimes it lets me overhear many unknown secrets."

Seeing Li Xiu's brows furrow, Jiuxiao Yun quickly continued, "That day, I unintentionally overheard the Great Elder and Vice President Bai talking. The Great Elder mentioned that the Seventh Group should have a Commander soon and told Vice President Bai to prepare. Vice President Bai seemed to be aware of this long ago, smiling and saying he was already prepared. Once the Seventh Group's Commander was in place, he would hand over the Demon Armor Group."

"Are you trying to fool me? Didn't the Great Elder die while suppressing the Heaven Gate?" Sha Chu frowned and said.

"That was before the Great Elder died, about half a month before the battle at Heaven Gate. That's when I heard their conversation." Jiuxiao Yun continued, "From what I gathered from the Great Elder and Vice President Bai, it seemed like they had misappropriated some things from the Demon Armor Group, creating a huge gap, and they wanted the new Commander to take the fall and cover it up, that was the basic idea."
