Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 713 Candle Dragon (Request for Subscription)

Facing Li Songtao's mocking provocation, Pei Yan did not feel anger but instead a chill crept down his back, cold sweat streaming. He jumped up from the ground, pacing back and forth in the room, occasionally glancing at Li Songtao lying limp on the ground like a dead dog. Seeing the smile that seemed to see through his thoughts, Pei Yan furrowed his brows, crouched beside him, and stared into his eyes, trembling as he said, "You, you, your ultimate goal is, The Source Entity?"

Seeing the other party nod without concealment, Pei Yan sat down on the ground and took a while to come to his senses, abruptly yanking Li Songtao and shouted, "How dare you! No, no, no! It's not about daring, how is it possible for you to do it? Confront The Source Entity, the Source Entity of the Four Great Realms! What gives you the right to challenge them?"

"Hahaha, why not dare? Why not?" Li Songtao, being grabbed by the collar, sneered at Pei Yan and said, "Didn't your world capture The Source Entity and lock it in a cage? That's the fate they should have! Aren't we the spirits of all things? They are merely collections of energy, what gives them the right to control our lives, to boss us around! Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? It's humans who should control power, not power that controls humans! Uh, uh, uh!"

At this point, Li Songtao's roar abruptly stopped. Lin Junzhao, who had been watching all this with interest from the dark, was instantly enraged when her most painful memories were exposed. She occupied Pei Yan's body without discussion and grabbed Li Songtao's neck, watching as his eyes rolled back and he was about to suffocate completely. Forced back into his body, Pei Yan urgently yelled, "Don't kill him! I still have many questions to ask him!"

After Pei Yan repeatedly persuaded, the still angry Lin Junzhao reluctantly withdrew her arm, then smirked mischievously and said, "Hm, I didn't expect Lin Ruxue to have her day too. Look at what she's done, and look at the forces she's cultivated. In the end, aren't they plotting to harm her as well? Ah, I'm a bit looking forward to the day when this group of people's plan succeeds. I really want to see what kind of face she'll have when she falls from power."

Pei Yan ignored the suddenly crazy woman, crouching beside the suffocated Li Songtao to support his body, rubbing his back repeatedly while infusing Source Qi into him. After a while, as a turbid breath was exhaled, Li Songtao let out a mournful cry and slowly woke up, gasping on the ground. Pei Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Li Songtao talks nonsense, but he's right about one thing."

"What thing?" Lin Junzhao asked in return.

"Hatred makes people lose their sanity, even if they are The Source Entity and you had past grievances, if their status undergoes a shocking reversal, and if these people succeed, your future won't be any better, oh no, our days will not be any better." Pei Yan murmured as he sat on the ground.

"You don't have to teach me this much!" Having said this, Lin Junzhao returned to calmness, keeping silent and continuing to observe the further development of the situation.

Using his foot to kick the struggling Li Songtao on the ground, Pei Yan asked, "How do you plan to execute your scheme? With what power can you confront The Source Entity, virtually invincible in this world?"

Seeing him remain silent, Pei Yan sneered, "You don't need to say, I already know. Although I haven't fully understood your specific plan, what you rely on is merely that newly emerged realm, the Blood Slaughter Organization! So did he find you or did you find him?"

While speaking, Pei Yan observed Li Songtao's subtle expressions, nodding as he said, "Looks like he found you, promising nothing more than assisting you in overthrowing the Immortal Palace and capturing The Source Entity, allowing you to have a place in the newly constructed world. But I don't understand why you have such faith in the other side, that a single realm's power can contend with four, uh, no, five realms' power?"

Li Songtao remained silent, resisting with silence. Seeing this, Pei Yan knew that asking further would involve the details of their plan. Realizing this, he changed the subject and asked, "Then tell me about those mad Alchemists you mentioned. According to you, this is a group composed of top researchers from several major realms. I'm very interested in them, can you tell me where their research base is located?"

"I don't know." After a long silence, Li Songtao finally responded, turning his head to Pei Yan with a bitter smile, "They are also the most mysterious existence within the organization. Every time I go to undergo bodily modification, the location is not fixed." Li Songtao paused for a moment and suddenly laughed, looking at Pei Yan with deep meaning, "If you really want to find this group of people, the head of your world's Divine Desire Organization, Candle Dragon, might be able to give you a precise answer."

"Candle Dragon?" Hearing this rumored title, Pei Yan immediately became interested, straightening his posture and asked, "Have you seen him? What kind of person is he? Why can he give me an accurate answer?"

"He is like you."

"Like me?" Li Songtao's unexpected answer left Pei Yan stunned and puzzled. He saw the other party struggling to lift his hand and pointed at Pei Yan's left eye, continuing, "His left eye was also injured by someone. Uh, perhaps not injured by someone, but containing some mysteries, the specifics of which I am not clear. I only know he always wears an eye patch to cover his eye. Back then, when I wounded you, I suddenly remembered him in the fight, and deliberately did it out of spite."

Hearing this, Pei Yan instinctively touched his own left eye, unexpectedly finding a connection with this mysterious figure at this point. Is his left eye injured? He finally grasped a useful piece of information about him, overwhelmed with excitement, Pei Yan continued to inquire, "Is there more? Does he have any other features? Can you describe him more visually or even draw him?"

Li Songtao shook his head with a bitter smile and refused, "No, his specific image is also part of the secrecy, and even if I could tell you, I wouldn't be able to. I only met him a few times, and most of the time his face was hidden in the dark. You know my uncle holds a high position in the Underworld Eighteen Courts, but even he was very courteous when negotiating and meeting Candle Dragon. I was dismissive of the Foundation Realm forces, not allowing someone like him to boss me around, so I constantly provoked him openly and secretly. Eventually, I succeeded in angering him, and he gave me a lifelong lesson, leaving me uncertain whether to hate him or thank him."
