Chapter 457: A Royal Decree 2

“…”

The Ghost Organization was deeply mysterious and held overwhelming power. The Ghost Organization’s building was so large that there was a countless number of people across its three Halls and four Administrations.

It was common knowledge that the Zhaixing Administration was the most intelligent in the world.

However, the fact remained that the Wangyue Administration was far more mysterious than the Zhaixing Administration.

This was because the Wangyue Administration was in charge of various infiltration and undercover operations in a multitude of important places.

No one would know if there was an informant from the Wangyue Administration of the Ghost Organization close to them.

While the Wangyue Administration handled infiltration operations, the Zhaixing Administration oversaw the gathering of intelligence.

If enough people were working on undercover infiltrations and were willing to cooperate with the Zhaixing Administration to spread false intel, the two administrations could completely overthrow a dynasty.

In addition to that, the Pili Hall of the Ghost Organization also managed a large number of various secret weaponry.

Gongsun She could not help but look at Shang Li with a cryptic expression.

Based on what he had said, the empress of Northern Liang would have been under the forced ruling of the Ghost Organization for a long time!

No.

It should be said that the whole world had been under the forced ruling of the Ghost Organization for a long time!

Gongsun She responded after a long pause.

“It’s easier said than done, but who holds the power to control the behemoth that is the Ghost Organization?”

The history of the Ghost Organization was not any less significant than the few kingdoms. It could be said that it possessed an invisible hand capable of secretly manipulating the situation throughout the entire continent via the cooperation of the three Halls and four Administrations. There are more talented and powerful people working under the organization than there were in the four large nations combined.

Shang Li stroked his chin and said inexplicably, “I have a feeling that perhaps the building without a main door will soon have one.”

“Are you telling me you have gotten hold of some new information?” Gongsun She asked.

“No.” Shang Li shook his head. “It’s just based on my intuition.”

“…” Was intuition reliable? The Ghost Organization had been a mystery for centuries, so it was highly unlikely they would suddenly choose to openly get involved in the matters of the world. Even though many people were now aware of the organization, none knew where Wushuang City was located! Everything the public knew about the Ghost Organization was merely from circling rumors, though it remained unclear whether those rumors were even true.

It was rumored that the Head of Wangyue Administration had once visited the Yueya Auction House.

He appeared as a young man wearing a mask.

However, when they went to look for him, the young man seemed to have disappeared into the crowd without a trace.

“You should know that the Head of Wangyue Administration had also shown up.” Shang Li suddenly said. Gongsun She was speechless. He was just thinking about this, and now Shang Li was mentioning it?

Shang Li continued, “There must be a motive behind the Head of Wangyue Administration’s appearance. Before this, the Wangyue Administration had always kept a low profile, so much so that they were practically non-existent. They’re in charge of infiltration operations and are as secretive as the Head of the Ghost Organization. The fact that he suddenly decided to show himself in public must be accompanied by some motive. Even though he only showed himself fleetingly, he has allowed us to confirm that the head of the Wangyue Administration is a man. This in itself is critical information. History is a cycle. It has been centuries—the time has come for them to make an appearance and reveal the true identity of that behemoth of an organization to the public.

Gongsun She, “…”

Shang Li glanced at Gongsun She for the last time, turned around without a word, and slowly walked into the rain as he gradually disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

Gongsun She watched as Shang Li left, then rested his eyes on the surface of Qingyang lake.

He pondered for a long time, hinking to himself.

‘If the Ghost Organization had really shown itself, then this world may no longer be peaceful.’

Who allowed the Wushuang Ghost Organization to be called the invisible empire of the night on this Mainland!

It was rumored that the wealth of just a few centuries accumulated by the organization was equivalent to the wealth held by an entire nation.

…

A jade tablet embossed with nephrite would seem no different from an ordinary jade tablet at first glance. The carvings on it were pretty, but not unique.

This jade tablet, however, had been seen by someone who knew this special pattern.

The person was so surprised.

Their trembling hands could barely hold it.

As they exhausted their energy to grasp the jade tablet, they analyzed the material carefully.

They had a persistent feeling that something was not quite right.

After some contemplation, the person decided to trade the jade tablet and send it somewhere to first identify the hand that possessed the engraving technique he observed..
