Yi Xin Society

Li Qingzi lightly flicked her saber, and the blood on its blade blossomed like plum flowers across the white wall.

"Miss Li, you… you can’t do this…"

The woman slumped behind the desk, all traces of her feigned poise long gone.

She had never imagined the Li family would "overturn" her in this manner.

And the one acting was the Li family’s beautiful eldest daughter herself.

Bai Cangshu, dressed in a white suit, stood tall as he casually entered from outside the Blue House. The outer guards and security personnel received no warning whatsoever; every guard within the residence had already been killed.

For a Reincarnator like Li Qingzi, whose Godspeed was so astonishing, killing ordinary people with a saber was even more efficient than it was for sharpshooters.

Li Qingzi extended her hand and placed the saber against the neck of the woman hailed as having shattered gender prejudice to become Korea’s first female president.

"You shouldn’t have turned that old man down."

That morning, Li Xianhou had once again met with the president, attempting to fund the joint formation of a Supernatural Ability User team to confront the increasingly chaotic situation.

But the president had rejected him once more.

The world was changing, and every family had its own ambitions.

This woman had become president not solely because of her own ability. The family behind her, which had been involved in politics for generations, was the true key.

With the world’s affairs controlled by traditional capital, her family had little chance of contending with the Li family, which controlled the March Group. But the world had changed, so they naturally had another opportunity.

Using the president’s authority to control the first Supernatural Ability User force exclusively belonging to their family had naturally become their clan’s ambition.

"Qingzi, Miss Li Qingzi, we can talk this over again!"

"If you act now, both the Li family and the Park family will suffer losses. Why not…"

Pfft!

Li Qingzi withdrew her saber so quickly that the other woman did not even see it before her throat had been cut.

Only then did Bai Cangshu step closer. He had not made a move, merely looked around at the furnishings and decorations.

So-called power did not reveal anything particularly extraordinary to him.

Bai Cangshu casually tossed the woman’s corpse aside, then openly sat down behind the desk.

Li Qingzi frowned. Korea greatly revered hierarchies, and she felt somewhat uncomfortable both with killing the president and with Bai Cangshu now sitting in such a position.

But she immediately realized that this mentality—being overly influenced and controlled by rules—was precisely why she fell short of her grandfather and of the man before her.

Rules were merely tools the strong used to bind the weak. No strong person would allow the weak to stand above them simply because the rules forbade otherwise.

After returning from the B711 Hero World, Bai Cangshu had developed more ideas about both his own paradise and the current world.

"Soon, the reporters will report the case of Korea’s president, Park… what was her name again? Never mind. The case of Madam Park being killed by the dark and deranged Supernatural Ability User Xu Zhiyu."

"She will become the first president assassinated by a Supernatural Ability User, and this incident will also make the label of Supernatural Ability User public for the first time from the perspective of the nation’s mainstream media."

Li Qingzi had not expected Bai Cangshu to have planned this far ahead. In fact, her original plan had been to first use the March Group’s influence to have the president dispatch the Special Operations Department to pursue Xu Zhiyu, the Supernatural Ability User suspected of trafficking large numbers of Koreans.

Then, Bai Cangshu and she would take the opportunity to kill the president, who had lost her protection, along with the Reincarnators guarding her at close range.

After that, they would announce that President Park had been assassinated by the Supernatural Ability User Xu Zhiyu.

Then Bai Cangshu and she would kill Xu Zhiyu, and everything would be brought to a perfect conclusion.

As for the presidency, her family would naturally arrange a new candidate.

But Bai Cangshu’s plan was far more aggressive.

To a certain extent, what Bai Cangshu was doing now resembled what the Great Sun of Finality had done. From another angle, he was making this world recognize the existence of Reincarnators.

Not as Reincarnators, but as Supernatural Ability Users.

Such an action would bring about many changes and problems.

But she had no ability to stop him.

Bai Cangshu tapped the desktop as he waited for that enemy to arrive.

Riiip!

Suddenly, thunder exploded out of nowhere, followed by a torrential downpour.

The weather, clear only moments earlier, changed abruptly. Such a shift could never have been natural.

Li Qingzi also realized that the Reincarnators of the Yi Xin Society had likely arrived.

Their plan had been linked together step by step. Xu Zhiyu had no other choice.

He had to come after them, because Xu Zhiyu knew Bai Cangshu’s identity. That meant he knew Bai Cangshu possessed a trump card capable of killing him outright—the Death Note!

Mercenary Tao’s acquisition of a Death Note Fragment from Life of Silence after wiping out the Chaos Sage was no secret in the East District of the Infinite Dimensional Space.

Therefore, after Xu Zhiyu received Li Qingzi’s call and sensed "hostility" from Bai Cangshu, he had no choice left.

He could only swiftly kill the members of the Goryeo Special Operations Department sent to pursue him, gather every member of the Yi Xin Society he could summon, find Mercenary Tao himself, and kill Mercenary Tao!

"This president didn’t trust Reincarnators and kept none as her bodyguards. How much fighting strength do you think the Yi Xin Society has left after defeating that Special Operations Department?"

Before the battle began, Bai Cangshu spoke to Li Qingzi.

He had originally wanted to use the Reincarnators left at the president’s side to see Li Qingzi’s combat strength after enhancing her bloodline, but his wish had not been fulfilled.

Bai Cangshu’s aggressive gaze let Li Qingzi know that even toward her, this man had little trust.

He was not asking how many enemies she could handle. It was more as if he were saying: I can kill every last one of them alone, and you are merely another target I need to observe.

Li Qingzi walked to the window and pulled back the curtains. She saw someone floating in the sky as a black barrier instantly enveloped the entire official residence.

Her expression turned grave. The Yi Xin Society was not weak.

"I don’t know how much strength they have left, but four have come, and none of them are simple."

But Bai Cangshu shook his head. Although Li Qingzi’s Observation Haki was of a high level, its effect could not compare to his Mantra enhanced by the Heart of the Thunder Emperor.

His sensing range far exceeded Li Qingzi’s.

The next instant, Bai Cangshu abruptly turned as a fierce crimson streak struck from behind him.

Boom!

Bai Cangshu raised his left hand and steadily caught an attack too fast for the naked eye to perceive.

Li Qingzi’s pupils contracted. Only now did she sense the other party’s arrival.

So fast!

Faster than me!

There were several bloodstains on Xu Zhiyu’s blue suit. The white shirt over his chest had also been torn apart by some kind of claws, leaving wounds across his body.

Yet a cruel smile still lingered on his lips.

"Sure enough, I didn’t misjudge you. You’re not the kind of person who uses the Death Note to kill powerful enemies… Ha, hahaha…"

He tilted his head, as though he had seen another version of himself.

Li Qingzi’s figure turned into a streak of light. Godspeed had activated. She took a single step, and while her lengthened blade remained by the window, she had already arrived behind Xu Zhiyu as emerald sword light suddenly flashed forth.

Ring!

In the next moment, a streak of sword light erupted from the presidential residence, and the solemn mansion tilted and collapsed amid the torrential rain.
