”Who are you and what business do you have here?” one of the young men asked in a serious voice.

The current Tang Sect received very few visitors, and even though the federation hadn't released any new policies that targeted the Tang Sect, all of the major powers knew why the sect was falling into obscurity. Thus, the Tang Sect naturally received fewer and fewer visitors. On this day, Tang Wulin had disguised himself into a middle-aged man in his forties who was extremely mundane in terms of height, figure, and appearance.

”I'm here to discuss a business deal. The heartless one denies his innermost feelings, while the amorous one is left to rue what could've been,” Tang Wulin replied with a smile.

Surprised looks flashed through both of the young men's eyes upon hearing this. The one who had just spoken made an inviting hand gesture toward Tang Wulin, and said, ”Please come with me.”

He then led Tang Wulin further into the branch.

Meanwhile, in a completely nondescript house nor far away from the Tang Sect headquarters.

In direct contrast to the mundane exterior of the house, the interior was like a scene straight out of a science-fiction world, and it was filled with all types of complex and intricate devices.

”Who is that?” There were three people in the room who were staring at a screen.

If Tang Wulin were present, he would've definitely been able to identify that the images being depicted on the screen were none other than those of the courtyard within the Tang Wulin headquarters. The images were shot from a bird's-eye perspective, but they were extremely clear.

”I don't know; I've never seen this man before, so he's most likely not a member of the Tang Sect. He seems really ordinary, but he's so ordinary that I can't help but be suspicious. Should we report this to the higher-ups?”

”Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions; let's keep observing first.”

”It's going to be very hard for us to continue to observe him after he enters the building, though. The Tang Sect has internal masking systems, and we've tried to infiltrate the building many times to install surveillance devices, all to no avail.”

”Activate the thermal imaging a.n.a.lysis device and a.n.a.lyze him before he enters the building,” a middle-aged man who was sitting at the center of the trio instructed.

”Yes!”

The other two people in the room immediately sprang into action, and Tang Wulin's body began to turn red on the screen, clearly being viewed through thermal imaging devices.

”His blood essence is significantly more powerful than a normal person, and his heartbeat is quite strong. It's beating around 45 times a minute, which is on par with that of a very healthy human. He's not releasing any soul power fluctuations, and his spiritual fluctuations are also within the normal range. It feels like he's nothing more than a normal person who exercises regularly.”

”Alright, keep observing him, then,” the middle-aged man instructed before closing his eyes to rest.

Their mission was to observe the Tang Sect headquarters at all times and report anything amiss to their higher-ups right away.

The Tang Sect was nowhere near as powerful as it was during its heyday, but up until recently, it was still one of the most powerful super organizations on the entire continent, so there were always going to be some visitors.

As such, the instructions they had received were to observe all powerful Soul Masters at or above the Soul Emperor level that visited the Tang Sect headquarters, then follow them after they left to see where they came from.

This type of surveillance had already been going on for over half a year, but as it turned out, the Tang Sect really was keeping an extremely low profile; not only had they not done anything in the past half a year, there had been very few powerful beings that required tracking. The members of the Tang Sect themselves also rarely ever left the building, and it was almost as if they were in semi-seclusion. Furthermore, all of the Tang Sect's business operations seemed to have ceased, and even though its headquarter was very large, it was like a large family manor that couldn't be any more understated and inconspicuous.

However, the more this proved to be the case, the more the higher-ups of these surveillance personnel were convinced that the Tang Sect was up to something. With the enormous foundation that the Tang Sect had established, they should've been reduced to such a state even if their headquarters had been destroyed; they should've at least had the power to retaliate.

Tang Wulin was led into a room by the young man, and after coming here, the cautious look in Tang Wulin's eyes finally eased slightly. With his Spirit Domain realm spiritual power, he could sense all of the sensory devices around him. To put it in simpler terms, all sensory devices emitted energy fluctuations, and no matter how faint those fluctuations were, they couldn't escape Tang Wulin's detection.
