From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

The game of wits with the Creator Organization has not yet come to an end.

What took place within the Sikes Civilization was just the first half, and upon returning to Blue Star, the second half would commence.

After gaining an understanding of the situation regarding the Creator Organization's raiding team, Lu Heng exchanged a few words with his team and decided to head back immediately.

This time, failing to leave the Creator Organization's raiding team in the Abyss Battlefield meant that the secret of the false information submitted earlier was exposed.

That is to say, after returning, Lu Heng would fully break with the Creator Organization.

Therefore, upon returning, there were many arrangements to be made.

The group entered the space transmission laboratory, and the Ze Wei'er Matrix activated the Space Transmitter, with the Black Feather Spirit taking Lu Heng and two others back.

Su Muyu had come over through a Space Anchor Point, she didn't need to take the Space Transmitter, she could just activate the Space Anchor Point to return.

Using the Space Transmitter took a bit of time.

Lu Heng closed his eyes but could still see the fleeting lights in front of him. Estimating the time, it would be about half an hour later that his vision would slowly return.

After the transmission was complete, Lu Heng checked his bodily condition, which was fine, and then pressed the communicator on his ear to issue an order:

"All team members, assemble at Quenching Castle. We still have things to do. If relatives need shelter, also bring them to Quenching Castle to meet."

"Okay," Everyone responded in unison and set off to carry out their tasks.

Yuan Yaoyao pouted and asked, "Do I also have to assemble?"

Lu Heng gave her a smile, reached out to pat the top of her head, and said, "You don't have to do with this, you don't have to assemble."

Yuan Yaoyao instantly frowned, expressing her anger and muttered, "After using someone, you just kick them away. Brother Lu is too bad."

Lu Heng was taken aback for a moment, then explained, "Your identity has always been well kept, even your dad doesn't know your true identity in the Sikes Civilization. Not getting involved is safer."

Yuan Yaoyao suddenly burst into loud laughter, "I'm just teasing you. My Light Computer also analyzed that my dad and I are now very safe. However, I want to help."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "When there's a need for help, I'll call you."

Yuan Yaoyao nodded vigorously and said, "Then it's settled. I am really very powerful, really."

Her expression when speaking was an eager one for others to acknowledge her.

"Of course I know how awesome you are, well done."

Lu Heng gave her a thumbs-up and then waved his hand, saying, "We still have work to do, so I'll be leaving first."

...

Half an hour later.

Four team members assembled at Quenching Castle, Lu Mingli and his wife as well as Su Mu were also at Quenching Castle.

At the start of this incident, Lu Heng had made arrangements for his parents and Su Muyu's mother to take temporary shelter in Quenching Castle.

This arrangement was made out of concern that failing to achieve their objectives in this trip to the Sikes Civilization might lead the Creator Organization to take action against them.

Generally speaking, conflicts between Superpower Users do not involve family members.

This is seen as an unspoken rule, as everyone has parents and loved ones.

If this rule is broken, it would lead to a fight to the death.

Past events had already proven that the Creator Organization did not follow this rule.

Before, Xie Shi'en's master's mother was in a nursing home, and the Creator Organization even sent people to capture her.

Such behavior was completely unscrupulous.

Therefore, it was necessary to make arrangements to prevent similar incidents.

After the last nursing home issue, Xie Shi'en's master's mother had been settled and given a new identity by the country, relocating to another nursing home.

Now, apart from Xie Shi'en, no one knew where Liu Lanying was.

What needed to be arranged next were the parents of Lu Heng and Su Muyu.

...

Inside the conference room of Quenching Castle.

The four team members gathered, Su Muyu brought her mother over, and Lu Heng also brought his parents.

Lin Zeyu did not bring his family over.

Lu Heng asked one more question, "Should we wait for your family to come?"

Lin Zeyu shook his head and replied, "There's no need, I think it's unnecessary. Besides, thanks to the cooperation with Flame Emblem, the Lin Family can now rank within the top five among the big families in Coastal. They have the ability to protect themselves."

The Lin Family's current strength was formidable, and the family had numerous members.

Even if Lin Zeyu wanted to protect the Lin Family, it was impossible to cover everyone comprehensively.

Moreover, if the Lin Family had reached their current status without the ability to protect their own interests, any help would be futile.

Thus, after careful consideration, Lin Zeyu decided to keep the Lin Family out of the Creator Organization incident.

Strictly speaking.

It was only Lu Heng and Xie Shi'en who were in opposition to the Creator Organization; Lin Zeyu was involved because he was a team member.

This matter had nothing to do with the Lin Family, keeping the Lin Family out of the incident was the best form of protection.

...

When Li Xiuyun came inside, she saw Lu Heng and said with a hearty laugh, "Why didn't you bring me and your dad over sooner? This place is way more interesting than square dancing."

Lu Heng asked curiously, "You've found a new interest?"

Li Xiuyun nodded and replied, "Of course, that Dwarf named Master Gulu, learning that I'm your mother, treated me very well. Now, the others in the castle greet me proactively, too.

"And your dad said on his first day here that he had acquired a Vice Profession, and now he's following Master Gulu every day to forge."

Lu Heng hadn't expected them to adapt so fully to Quenching Castle's environment after just two days.

Su Muyu asked curiously, "What Vice Profession did Uncle get? If it's a Quenching Master, then Lu Heng is already a Quenching Master and can help."

Lu Mingli explained, "It's Forging Assistant. You young people are so busy, you don't need to worry about us especially. We've been through thick and thin for half our lives and seen all sorts of things. Just take care of yourselves."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Heng steered the conversation to more pressing matters.

"I guess you all can tell that gathering here at Quenching Castle means something has definitely happened..."

In simple terms, Lu Heng relayed the current situation, "There's an organization called the Creator Organization, and we've already formed a hostile relationship with them.

"So, for everyone's safety, we'll need to make some arrangements.

"Quenching Castle and the Flame Emblem Headquarters are military-controlled areas, ensuring absolute security.

"Qionghua Tianglu Lake is under the security of our team's own security company and is also relatively safe.

"Additionally, I will apply to the higher-ups to protect the identity of our team members' families."

Lu Mingli, having a military background, was mentally prepared for such developments and nodded after hearing this, "You don't need to be so cautious; we can protect ourselves.

"Besides, in the current situation, no place is absolutely safe. As long as you don't hide things from us, we can make our arrangements for the rest."

Li Xiuyun chimed in, "Yeah, we've seen all we need to see in the year those monsters have appeared, we're mentally prepared. You just focus on your well-being; don't worry about us."

Su Mu shared the same sentiment, "As long as you and Mu Yu are okay, we'll manage."

After discussing the situation, the parents were very understanding, which simplified the subsequent preparations.

Just as Lu Heng was contemplating how to apply for national protection for his family's identity, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Su Muyu raised an eyebrow and said, "It's Jian Qing, and she's dressed in a formal military uniform, with people along. Something doesn't seem right."

When the door opened,

Jian Qing glanced at Lu Heng and said, "Lu Heng, I have something I need to discuss with you. Could we step aside to talk?"

Because his parents were present, Jian Qing's tone was rather gentle.

However, Lu Heng could tell that something must have happened; otherwise, she would not have come with such a show of force.

Lu Heng stood up, gave his parents an assuring look, and then went outside with Jian Qing to discuss privately.

"What's the matter?"

"I've been tasked to escort you back, and it's a directive from the supervisory department in charge of discipline within the organization, so it might be related to some disciplinary issue. Don't be too nervous, the higher-ups just want me to bring you in, not arrest you," Jian Qing explained the situation briefly.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Heng had a guess about what it was and nodded, "Alright, I will follow you back."

After their talk, Lu Heng went back to arrange the following matters with Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu, and the others, then reassured his parents again, saying that he had a mission from the higher-ups and needed to leave for a bit.

Once everything was arranged, Lu Heng followed Jian Qing out of Quenching Castle, got into a military vehicle, and headed towards Dragon Power Headquarters.

"Do you know what exactly this is about?"

In the vehicle, Lu Heng continued to inquire about the reason for this.

Jian Qing shook her head, "The security work is good, but since it's a notice from the discipline department, my guess is you've encountered a disciplinary issue.

"Additionally, there's some extra information; it seems someone has reported you. I'm not sure what you've done, so I can't vouch for it.

"The one thing I can be sure of is that the higher-ups sent me to fetch you, not arrest you. This means there's still room for negotiation."

Lu Heng took a deep breath and began to analyze the situation.

What disciplinary issues could be associated with him?

There were too many to count.

When the Abyss first descended, he had dealt with four menaces led by Gong Chusheng, then took down both the Gong Family and Hongda Lending Company.

In these chaotic times, being a stickler for rules was impossible.

Lu Heng had once reviewed those actions and came to the conclusion that they were necessary and there had been no choice.

Some actions, perhaps, were not severe enough.

If he hadn't just Awakened and lacked strength back then, after taking down Gong Chusheng, he should have wiped out the entire Gong Family.

Looking back, there was never going to be a reconciliation with the Gong Family.

Elimination was the only choice.

So, regarding this matter, Lu Heng had no regrets.

However, from a legal perspective, there were too many points that could be scrutinized.

And yet, with Lu Heng's current standing and power, even if these past actions were to be exposed, it would likely not have a significant impact.

The only potential issue that could cause a stir would be a matter of national loyalty.

Lu Heng had a hunch about what this was about; it probably related to the Creator Organization.
