Lu Heng froze for a moment after listening to the task content. Why does this task sound like it’s aimed directly at me? Who else but me would intrude into the Earth Flame Pillar? The environment in the Bloodline Clan’s underground cave is so harsh that I don’t want to stay for a single moment. I guess no race with magical resistance would intrude here in the entire world. Looking at it this way, the Abyss Battlefield triggered now targets investigating me, while the Challenge Task is to kill me. Tiness struggled to prop up her body and said, "I don’t have much time left. I can’t let other bloodlines know about handing over my heart. I need to clean up the bodies here immediately." The summoned Shadow Demon has a Main Quest, which is to rescue high-level bloodlines in danger, and this rescue target is obviously Tiness. That means the Shadow Demon will investigate the threatened high-level bloodlines in Earth Flame City. Tiness, being the Supreme Female Demon, is undoubtedly a primary focus target. The Shadow Demons and the Bloodline Clan’s guards should arrive soon. Lu Heng was uncertain if Tiness would be able to conceal this matter. Even if she couldn’t and got killed by other high-level bloodlines, it didn’t matter. It would at most cost an espionage servant. "Find a way to uncover the hidden Bloodline Ancestor among humans and give me an exact answer the next time I contact you." With these words, Lu Heng passed through the Star Gate and left the cave. Tiness quickly got up, summoned a Hell Three-headed Dog, and devoured all the Bloodline Clan bodies in the hall, licking the floor clean along with them. Next, she found a gold-bordered collar, put it around her neck, and covered the wound on her throat. After completing all of this, a Bloodline Guard Captain inquired from outside the door, "Supreme Mother, was there an intruder here?" Tiness waved lightly, and the hall’s door slowly opened. The Bloodline Guards appeared outside the door, accompanied by a team of Shadow Demons, peeking into the hall. Tiness sat on the throne, legs crossed, striking a "peerlessly beautiful" pose. This made the eyes of the Bloodline Guards outside the door go wide. Tiness’s "beauty" is irresistible even to humans, let alone the Bloodline Clan. For the Bloodline Clan, Tiness is an existence that can enchant their souls with her "beauty." Even the Shadow Demons beside them felt this terrifying allure, though they were not Bloodline Demons, so the effect of the allure was already diminished. Tiness was very pleased with the reactions of this troop of guards and spoke in a proud and indifferent voice, "I am aware of the summoning incident. Everything here is fine." The Bloodline Guard Captain tried very hard to shift his focus away from Tiness and looked around, asking, "Where is your personal guard? Why can’t I see Captain Kalu?" Tiness smiled charmingly and asked, "Would you like to be my new Personal Guard Captain?" The Guard Captain listened to these words, his soul was captivated, suppressing the joy in his heart: "Can I... really?" Tiness threw out a personal guard captain’s inscription, saying, "Complete your current task, then come back to report." The Guard Captain caught the insignia hurriedly, trembling with excitement. The other Bloodline Guards beside him eyed the insignia with envy, jealousy, and greed. If not for insufficient rank, they might kill this captain and take his place. As for where the original Personal Guard Captain of the Supreme Female Demon went? No Bloodline Demon cared anymore. Lu Heng returned to Blue Star, bringing back important intelligence. "There is still a Bloodline Ancestor on Blue Star, but I don’t know who it is. I want the intelligence department to recheck the Berg Family’s records and find this hidden Bloodline Ancestor." Qi Jinhui got this intelligence and immediately reported upwards. Subsequently, the intelligence team worked extra hours overnight to re-organize all the documentation on the Bloodline intrusion event to search for possible clues. Lu Heng rested for a day, then communicated with Qi Jinhui and came to the Southern War Zone Headquarters to listen to the analysis results from the intelligence group. The war zone’s intelligence department and planning group were all working overtime, searching for clues. When Lu Heng walked into the conference room, all the intelligence analysts and war zone staff were busy looking down. Qi Jinhui got up to greet him: "Take a seat, our work isn’t finished. There are too many documents and information about the Bloodline invasion incident. It will take several days for us to sort them out completely." Lu Heng nodded and responded with a hum, asking, "Did you find any useful clues?" Qi Jinhui handed over a summary of the collected suspicious clues to Lu Heng and said, "These are currently discovered suspicious clues, many of which require someone to verify before arriving at accurate conclusions." Lu Heng took the documents to look at them and casually asked, "Have all the living members of the Berg Family been investigated?" Qi Jinhui nodded and answered, "It’s not a question of whether they’ve been investigated; rather, the living members of the Berg Family have always been under our surveillance and never relaxed. "The number of surviving members of the Berg Family is actually not many. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; most were devoured by other capital families." Lu Heng continued to ask, "Are there any direct blood relatives of Will Berg left? Or illegitimate children, perhaps? He ultimately chose to commit suicide, even to keep a secret, indicating the secret he wanted to hide was more important than his own life." Qi Jinhui shook his head and replied, "No information indicates Will Berg had illegitimate children. Blood relatives within three generations are under surveillance and have not taken any unusual actions since the Bloodline intrusion incident ended." He paused for a moment, then added: "Moreover, our planning group has analyzed Will Berg. Based on his character, even if it were a natural son, it wouldn’t be worth him committing suicide." Lu Heng became more puzzled, "Then what other reason could make him commit suicide?" By usual reasoning, the most likely cause for Will Berg’s decision to commit suicide would be if there was another Bloodline Ancestor among his direct blood relatives. This possibility is substantial; if Will Berg wanted to consolidate the Berg Family’s Bloodline Ancestor status, he should develop more Bloodline Ancestors within the family. Qi Jinhui shook his head and replied, "We haven’t found the reason yet, but all transformed Bloodline members in the Berg Family have been controlled; "The Berg Family members still active outside are mostly from side branches and have not undergone Bloodline Transformation. "There are no clues indicating Will Berg had illegitimate children, so it must be another reason that compelled Will Berg to commit suicide." Lu Heng contemplated while flipping through the documents, saw one item among them, and asked, "This information mentions traces of personnel entering and leaving the Red Spider Lily Manor after Will Berg’s death?" Qi Jinhui nodded and replied, "Yes, when you were pursuing Will Berg, someone entered the Red Spider Lily Manor. We found traces of someone inside the manor’s study, seemingly searching for something." Lu Heng frowned and asked further, "Do we have photos of the study?" "Yes." Qi Jinhui gestured to a staff member to retrieve a file containing photos and handed it to Lu Heng. Lu Heng opened the file, emptied out the photos inside to examine them. The photos from multiple angles captured the study in the Red Spider Lily Manor, not missing a single corner. Some locations even had number tags indicating where traces of movement were found. Lu Heng glanced at the photos, seeing that the bookshelves and desk in the study had indeed been rummaged through. Moreover, whoever rifled the bookshelves and desk seemed to be hurried, even though attempts were made to restore the messed areas to their original condition, but they were poorly done.
