"But now that I think about it, if the Shadow combined with National Martial Arts... well, it might be even stronger paired with the Combat System of the Magic Continent, at least a bit stronger in terms of energy usage."

"Good, very good." In the end, he just stood up with a dark expression, "I hope you won't regret it."

"Alright, tell me what you want." Tian Peng said calmly and bluntly.

"Could it be that there's a problem with the Yin Mountain Lord?"

"Since you understand, then it would be a waste of your talents to stay here. I'll transfer you to..."

"Do you understand the Yin Mountain Lord then?" Tian Peng continued, ignoring Qin Muye's words.

"Then I suppose I understand," Qin Muye retorted.

"Are you the Professor Li who came and killed Lei Yuan, Ghost Butterfly, and Dark Snake right off the bat?"

"Average strength," Qin Muye assessed before responding.

"Forget it, we can talk about this another time. What does Tian Peng want from me? Did you come here just to show off to me, and yet failed to pull it off..."

"I heard you're the one who found the Yin Mountain Lord."

"I think you should understand," Tian Peng said, looking directly at Qin Muye.

"I'm the Chief Captain, I have the authority to transfer you," Tian Peng said, no longer hiding it.

"You're right about that, the Chief Captain has the authority to transfer, and I could be utterly incompetent, couldn't I?"

"That's a good idea, but which one should I choose?"

"What could go wrong with that thing? At worst, it's just running out of Shadow power and not getting very far while driving."

"How could that be possible? The person who found the Yin Mountain Lord appeared at the commendation ceremony, where's my part in it?" Qin Muye said dismissively as he pulled out a chair, "Even though you're the Chief Captain, you can't just attribute achievements to me at random, what if someone found out? They'd target me."

"Perfect, I've just offended the Chief Captain of the Administration, might as well take a trip to the Shadow Realm to lie low," Qin Muye decided.

"Chief Captain, food can be eaten recklessly, but words can't be spoken so carelessly. How could an ordinary person like me, who hasn't even awakened a Shadow, have killed an Elder, a Chief Captain, and a Captain?" Qin Muye said leisurely.

"The Chief Captain must be joking. How could I be more informed than those who took the credit? You must be mistaken," Qin Muye interrupted without hesitation.

No, to be more straightforward, he should join the Shadow Monster ranks, or even the ancient Shadow Monsters.

Some factions are also regretting now; if they had known there was so much at stake earlier, Huang Li wouldn't have had his turn; they would have taken it for themselves.

In addition, the previously missing Captain Dark Snake and Chief Captain Ghost Butterfly were found, killed by someone and dumped in the wilderness. By the time they were found, more than half of their bodies had been eaten away—a truly miserable death.

The Deputy Chief Captain Jing, whom he had wiped out in one go, didn't last long before being drained dry, which means that ordinary Shadows weren't even qualified to act as fuel.

He didn't get a share of the credit, nor did he get a share of the benefits, so naturally, he didn't have a share of the responsibility either.

It turned out he didn't gain anything; not only did he take the opportunity to clear out political enemies, but he also gained achievements.

After returning, his Shadow would also need resources, which couldn't just appear out of thin air, so he had to take them from the Shadow Administration, illegal organizations, freelance individuals, and Relics.

Today Qin Muye went back to work. With the previously domineering people gone, his mood had also improved significantly.

But Qin Muye was no fool; instead, he said, "I should get to work. The Chief Captain should seek professionals from other departments for such matters, not a file manager like me, right?"

Whether they approve it or not, that's their business, and it has nothing to do with him.

Qin Muye had thought they would investigate him, but the hubbub died down the very next day.

Qin Muye obviously wasn't pleased. He could have let it go without the tribute, but without even the proper attitude, Qin Muye decided to wait until his Shadow awakened and then let them know what it meant to leave no stone unturned.

Qin Muye didn't believe the other party would really dare to fire him. If they really did, then Qin Muye would have full justification to turn against them.

Qin Muye glanced at the other party and then said, "Chief Captain, are you saying I should understand or not understand?"

Qin Muye could kill rank 6 with rank 4; a mere rank 5 was nothing to him, he could crush the other party with just a flick of his hand.

Suddenly, Qin Muye thought of this matter and considered whether it might get him transferred.

Qin Muye was truly a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, expecting him to work without offering any benefits, this person was probably from an influential family too.

And then there was no "and then."

Such a great feat, and they didn't even bring a basket of fruit over to thank him.

Three days later, Elder Lei Yuan was attacked and killed, but it was Elder Huang Li who, following the guidance of some unknown 'Professor Li,' found the Yin Mountain Army relic, obtaining a large amount of inheritance literature. This significantly enhanced the Shadow Administration's Shadow Skills and Shadow cultivation methods, instantly making him a highly sought-after Elder. @@novelbin@@

He might as well check on the situation of Emperor Shadow and, if possible, not only capture a suitable ancient Shadow Monster but also gather some information about Emperor Shadow.

Who knows, he might find some good stuff there.

Having said that, he left the records management room straight away.

After some thought, Qin Muye considered whether it was time for his Shadow phase to also include an ancient weapon?

So, they wanted Qin Muye to help take a look, probably to deal with the aftereffects.

From the beginning, he didn't plan on letting the Shadow Administration off the hook. Everyone had their own hidden agendas; it's not worth worrying about the pot calling the kettle black.

He was certain that Tian Peng had long been aware of Yin Mountain Lord's background yet turned a blind eye, allowing others to take credit. That alone was enough to show that this person was a stingy, ungrateful character.

Their regret was that such benefits did not fall into their hands. If it were them, they would probably make the same choice as Lei Yuan, rather than decisively killing the Dark Serpent and Ghost Butterfly like what Huang Li's line did.

He had always been unabashed in his actions, and back in the branch office, he felt awkward to reach out to the symbiotic community under him for favors. But now that the branch was gone, and people in Divine Peace were all insatiably greedy, much like Elder Huang Li—who took the benefits but offered no favors in return.

Tian Peng couldn't help but smile, "You're right, you can't kill them, and I didn't come to you this time just for these three dead men."

Tian Peng's strength, leaving others in the dust, definitely came from using a massive amount of resources, not so-called hard cultivation—what hard cultivation is there in a system all about Shadows, constantly practicing Body Refinement?

As a result, many shouted for vengeance for these three, after all, the death of a Captain, a Chief Captain, and an Elder was a outright contempt for the Shadow Administration. The public outrage was boiling.

For three dead people, to offend someone who could continuously produce resources and inheritance—does that not sound brainless?

The idea was nice, but Qin Muye wasn't their father, so why would he indulge them?

If you want to become stronger, you need a large amount of resources; without them, Shadows can hardly grow much.

If he weren't expelled, then when it was time to turn his back, he would be a bit more tactful about it.

A burly middle-aged man sat in his seat, sizing him up from head to toe.

Because the killer had been found—a vicious and ruthless rogue Shadow from the civilian population, who was killed on the spot.

There are many Shadow Monsters, but ancient Shadow Monsters are few in number and, even more so, hard to find.

The Shadow Skills of Shadow beings are actually just like Magic, both utilizing Energy, only differing in the method of use.

The Shadow System isn't like fantasy or immortal novels where you can say "break" or have an epiphany at the sight of anything and improve—it doesn't work that way.

The Shadow is the Golden-Winged Roc, with formidable strength and rightfully considered the number one in the world.

Among Shadows, maybe the strongest, but placed among Lords, really not that significant; any Lord that has survived until now is a ruthless character.

Anyone would be annoyed in this situation.

This comment made veins on Tian Peng's forehead bulge, clearly infuriated by Qin Muye.

Tian Peng's strength was only Tier 5, clearly visible under Reconnaissance Skill. Intermediate-level Reconnaissance Skill allows for inspection across one tier.

This is the Chief Administrator of the Shadow Administration, codenamed Tian Peng.

Did they really think Qin Muye was a great philanthropist?

The truth? Most likely many are aware, yet everyone chooses to turn a blind eye. This time, the abundance of Shadow Skills and methods of cultivating Shadows have everyone excited.

But the other side was truly greedy. Qin Muye never thought about getting the meat, but not even getting a sip of the soup was indeed a sign the other party was excessively stingy.

But those factions would just regret, if it were up to them, they simply couldn't have taken such decisive action.

As for the Human Realm, forget about them; just take a leave of absence and that's it.
