Originally, according to Su Qi's idea.

He intended to ignore these non-human aliens from the Evolution Divine Teachings who came to spy on information.

You play your game, I play mine, as long as we remain peacefully coexisting.

However, this laissez-faire attitude did not result in a mutual tacit balance, but rather in escalating arrogance.

Indeed.

Now among the high-level executives of the cleaning company, most have had contact with the other side, and even if the other party hadn't acted out of line, some already felt their personal safety was threatened.

After all, when a rabbit faces the probing of a tiger, no matter how harmless the tiger appears, there's still fear because one's safety cannot be guaranteed.

The difference in life levels between the two is just too great.

So, this scene with Wang Zhen playing bait is meant to knock down the opponent's arrogance a notch.

Su Qi wasn't entirely confident about this, so he remained in the shadows to cover them. And Pei Jing, having been in long seclusion recently and feeling restless, wanted to get some air and also to assess how his disciple has grown.

In this way, three groups of people, one after another, arrived at a prosperous district.

The average price here is quite high, and it's a famous affluent area, home to many leaders of extraordinary organizations, and the security is relatively robust, requiring card swipes to enter and exit.

However, for Apostle-level transcendents, these are basically nonexistent.

When Wang Zhen swiped his card to enter, his figure clearly paused for a moment, then he smoothly returned home.

Even though the chasers behind him exhibited high quality, their concealment capabilities were almost on par with the Great Concealing Technique taught by Principal Pei.

Yet Wang Zhen could still clearly sense them, even perceiving the familiar hidden auras of the other two groups.

This wasn't because his spiritual power was extraordinarily strong, but owing to his specialization in the Path of the Secret Keeper.

The premise of keeping the secrets of the world is the ability to sense the aura of secrets.

At this moment.

He could feel a secret web silently unfolding with him as the target.

"Honestly, I'm the senior, and yet it seems the junior is worried about me. Looks like I have to show some skills after all," Wang Zhen chuckled softly, and continued walking toward his home.

At this time.

Inside the district, the lights were bright, yet they seemed unable to illuminate Wang Zhen.

This caused the Evolution Divine Teachings' cultists hiding in the shadows to gradually notice something amiss, as if they couldn't clearly see the opponent's outline.

"Damn it!"

"Did he discover us?"

"Seems like he's using some extraordinary ability!"

Someone reacted, with a hint of urgency in their voice.

Soon, a seemingly leading non-human alien calmed them down: "So what? According to our information, this person is just an Overlord-level transcendent. How can he withstand our instant capture by five Apostle-levels!"

They had analyzed that this person, who on the surface was just an Overlord-level transcendent, was actually the real controller of Ninth District Cleaning Company, likely a puppet pushed out by the conservative faction.

Even being a puppet, he should have direct connections with the conservative faction.

The next moment, even though the opponent's extraordinary ability blurred their vision somewhat, they could still vaguely see him opening his villa door.

"Action!"

Upon the command, five figures burst out with extreme speed and rushed in before the door closed.

This was their plan.

Capture Wang Zhen at the time of his return to his residence to force out information about the conservative faction.

After all, this would be the most logical time when he disappeared from surveillance, allowing them to escape after obtaining the desired information before the Ninth District could react.

However.

The next second.

Something beyond their comprehension occurred!

Inside the villa, there was no sign of Wang Zhen, as if the door had opened automatically.

"Where... where is Wang Zhen?"

The muscles of the five non-human aliens instantly tensed, as an indescribable fear began to erode them.

How could it be that they lost an Overlord-level right under their noses?

Even an Apostle-level might not be capable of doing that!

"Search!"

The leading non-human alien decisively gave the order. With time pressing, they couldn't afford to overthink, attributing it to Wang Zhen's peculiar abilities.

But then what!

They had watched Wang Zhen enter this villa with their own eyes.

Furthermore, they had previously thoroughly investigated this villa; there were no secret passages or anything. In other words, as long as they heightened their senses, not even a ghost could escape this villa!

Soon.

The leading non-human alien scanned every shadow in the hall.

The other four divided into two groups and went upstairs to search.

This villa only had three floors, with five rooms on each floor, leaving no place to hide!

He trusted his teammates to search every corner of the villa within a minute!

But.

The two groups of non-human aliens rushing upstairs suddenly froze.

Because the floor in front had somehow turned pitch-black, with no light penetrating in, even their senses were interfered with.

Simultaneously.

Cold sweat broke out on their backs as though they were being watched by a fierce beast in the darkness.

Even so, they familiarized themselves with the villa enough to fumble their way to one of the doors and opened it sharply.

The first one in only felt the floor beneath give way.

Frantically gripping the door handle, he lowered his head and looked; it was not a room but an endless abyss.

"What the hell, is this villa haunted?!"

The person was utterly terrified, quickly somersaulting back, and upon turning to look at the room again, couldn't help but draw a breath.

"Is it an illusion?"

One of them pulled out a dagger and threw it into the endless abyss inside the room.

Clink, clink, clink...

A series of metal ringing sounds echoed endlessly, as if it were a winding, bottomless abyss below!

"It must be that kid Wang Zhen messing with us!"

"I don't believe it, every previous entry was normal, and now suddenly there's something weird!"

This opinion instantly gained approval from the companions.

However, the villa had become so inexplicably bizarre. How could they pull out Wang Zhen?

Time was now against them. If Wang Zhen managed to alert the Ninth District's high-level before they did, Pei Jing's arrival would not be amusing!

Despite the gnawing urgency within, they still couldn't make too much noise.

After all, this was still a prosperous district; a big commotion would attract the Security Bureau's attention, and they might return empty-handed or even end up in a massive setback!
