At the headquarters of the Guardians of the night.


    When Lu Yuan and Li Qinghended, they immediately found that the atmosphere of the entire night Watchmen headquarters was very heavy. However, it was not like what Lu Yuan had thought before, where the underground holding room had not been invaded.


    If the underground shelter had been invaded, the headquarters of the night Watchmen would not be so orderly now. Arge group of mutants being released would definitely be a disaster.


    Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe stepped into the hall. The gic warriors in the hall were all in a hurry. Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe took the elevator directly to the top floor ording to the information.


    Arriving at the door of the president''s office, Lu Yuan knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened and Secretary Liu appeared.


    Upon seeing Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe, Secretary Liu quickly smiled and said, "Elder Li, elder Lu, you''re here. Come in quickly."


    The two of them nodded and walked in.


    Soon after, Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised to find that other than Secretary Liu and Chairman Gu An, there were eight other gic Warriors in the office.


    Lu Yuan''s gaze swept across the eight gic warriors and found that he had never seen many of them before. There were only two middle-aged men. Lu Yuan had met them once at the headquarters of the Night Watchmen and knew that they were also honorary elders.


    Could it be that the other elders were also honorary elders?


    Lu Yuan guessed in his heart.


    At this moment, eight gic warriors were standing in the office with serious expressions. When they saw Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe, everyone''s eyes shed and they nodded at the two of them with smiles.


    Then, three of the gic Warriors sized Lu Yuan up with a curious look in their eyes.


    A handsome middle-aged man smiled and said, "Elder Lu, I''ve heard that you''ve joined the night Watchmen, and I''ve always wanted to meet you. Today, I''ve finally gotten my wish. I heard that you''re already ranked 40th on the King Ranking? Heroes reallye from youngsters."


    The middle-aged man''s exmation caused the other five gic Warriors to widen their eyes and look at Lu Yuan in shock.


    "40th on the King ranking?"


    "What?" A thin old man eximed in shock. He looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief.


    "Really? Elder Lu was ranked 40th on the ranking? I remember that you''ve only broken through to the battle king state less than half a year ago, right?"


    A tall and strong man was also extremely shocked.


    The others were also shocked and in disbelief.


    Elder Lu''s talent really makes people envious.


    "Elder Lu, I''m afraid it''ll be very easy for you to be a battle emperor in the future. I''m afraid you''ll even have a chance to be a battle saint, right?"


    Seeing everyone''s shocked expressions, Li Qinghe, who was at the side, smiled and held Lu Yuan''s arm with some pride.


    Lu Yuan heard everyone''s exmations and smiled shyly. "Seniors, you''re overpraising me. I''m just a bit more hardworking."


    The few gic warriors ''lips twitched, and the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.


    If hard work could achieve this, why would they only be battle king or battle monarchs?


    Gu An, who was sitting behind the desk, had just heard the news that Lu Yuan was on the King Ranking. She was a little shocked.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    However, he quickly regained his senses and coughed lightly. He then said seriously, "


    "Everyone, I''ve gathered all of you here because I have something to say."


    The crowd snapped back to their senses and looked at Gu An.


    "Guild leader, what happened? Why is he mobilizing so many people?"


    The skinny old man said.


    Gu An took a deep breath and slowly said, " I''ve received news that arge number of people died suddenly in Xinan city, Yunzhou city, Xikou city, Haiyang City, and eleven other cities at the same time. There were also signs of powerful mutants ...


    At this point, he paused and nced at Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe. With an ugly expression, he said,


    "ording to our judgment, it may be the work of a foreign object like the soul devouring bead."


    Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe''s pupils constricted.


    Lu Yuan frowned. It was just as he had guessed. There were more than two soul devouring beads.


    However, there were soul devouring beads in 11 cities?


    Wasn''t this a little too exaggerated?


    If these were really the soul devouring beads, wouldn''t they be equivalent to eleven battle gods if they were to evolve to theirplete form?


    Lu Yuan felt a chill in his heart.


    Li Qinghe, who was at the side, also thought of this and frowned. He even exerted more strength in his grip on Lu Yuan''s arm.


    The other honorary elders obviously also knew about the soul devouring bead. For a moment, several honorary elders opened their eyes wide, somewhat unable to believe it.


    After a moment of silence, Gu An slowly said, "now these cities are asking for help from us, because there is an extremely important matter at the headquarters of the Night Watchmen that needs a lot of people to take care of, so I hope you can help."


    A burly honorary elder frowned and said, "even if we take action, we won''t make it in time. After all, there are only a few of us."


    "I''ve already informed the royal family and other families," Gu An said. "I''m sure they''ll help."


    Hearing this, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.


    "What about the elders from the headquarters?" Asked a white-haired elder. "Are they not going to make a move?"


    "Elder has other important tasks that need to be kept secret."


    Gu An sighed and said.


    Hearing this, Lu Yuan''s eyes shed as if he understood something.


    Perhaps it was to guard the underground storage room?


    If it were me, it would be too unusual for the 11 cities outside to suddenly have such a serious mutation. There must be a purpose for it, and it might be rted to the underground shelter.
