In the Hall.
As the initial tension in the room settled, the six summoned warriors started to open up slightly.
This caused the family heads to approach them one by one, throwing in questions and probing them about their experience with "demons" in their own world.
This interest stemmed from many of them reading novels set in the Old World, and most wanted to know if this group was from one of those stories.
If their suspicions were true, that would imply two things: either the World's Will created this group, or there are planets like this.
The silver-haired leader, Shen, spoke calmly to the gathered leaders, explaining how his team had been trained to handle evil cultivators.
"In our world, demons were much like your evil cultivators here. They lurked in the shadows, waiting for their plans to unfold.
Then, they surfaced. But from what I understand, the 'evil cultivators' in this world are still in an early phase, which is good because this is when they are the easiest to kill."
This made Xu Qianghua's clone perk up as he knew that in the old timeline, the evil cultivators had started to transform.
Still, at that time, all of them were taught that it was something that could only happen once, as it was the leader of the evil cultivators who had begun to transform.
At first, it was only his skin changing color, but slowly, his human figure started to change; this caused him to gain much higher defenses, making it hard to kill.
However, according to Shen, this is just the beginning stage, which might be true if both of them are the same.
If they are, they won't get much chance against this six-person group, who have already mastered the ways to kill them.
With the Xu family in this world, Xu Qianghua will ensure nothing happens to it.
At the same time, we can recruit some well-known individuals, which will enhance the force's image and be helpful in the future," Shen said.
Chen Zemin, who heard this, nodded and then looked toward the family heads around him. "I propose we give Shen's group the authority to lead the task force.
In addition, all of us will support this group as much as we can so they can grow faster and be able to deal with the evil cultivators who use the lives of others to improve themselves.
That is why we need to do our best. From what I saw, the leader of the evil organization has a cultivation level similar to ours; he has low talent."
The family heads murmured in agreement, some nodding while others looked troubled but did not say anything.
They could see the value in having a strong, independent leader for the task force, especially if they wanted to minimize the influence of individual families—still, some held reservations.
One family head, a tall man with sharp eyes, raised a hand. "How do we know this group is trustworthy?" he asked, his tone cautious.
"We've only just met them, and while they seem genuine, we're putting a lot of power in their hands."
Shen, hearing this, looked at the tall man and nodded. He kept his expression calm while replying.
"Your caution is wise. But rest assured, we have no ties here and no desire for power. All we care about is stopping these evil cultivators.
The methods we use don't rely on trust alone—they rely on action."
Chen Zemin nodded, backing Shen's words. "Exactly. Actions speak louder than anything else, and we need results.
Besides, if you're worried, remember that we'll still monitor the task force closely so that nothing goes wrong."
This caused everyone in the room to nod as they all put away their concerns and instead came forward to build a good relationship with the six people.
