Chapter 537: Change and Transformation, Zhou Tian Changes
After the meeting, Murong Ji let out a long sigh. Things were complicated and needed to be dealt with bit by bit.

Two days later, the ship arrived at Tianjin Port. As soon as he got off the ship, Murong Ji saw the Lu family standing in the distance. There were indeed quite a few people coming.

Lu Jin brought his two grandsons to personally guard the exit, blocking it tightly. His sons, however, brought other members of the Lu family to block the various checkpoints at the dock.

The corner of Murong Ji's mouth twitched. He was afraid that Li Muxuan would run away!
Standing behind Lu Jin were Mu You and Na Ru Hu, and further behind them were the people from the company.

At a glance, the woman leading the group was dressed in a professional suit and looked very capable. But for some reason, Murong Ji always felt that the woman looked familiar.

The siblings Lu Linglong and Lu Lin, took Li Muxuan out and saw Lu Jin walking towards them with a gloomy face. They instantly became nervous and turned to look at Murong Ji for help. Seeing him following behind them, they felt a lot more at ease.

Lu Jin suppressed his anger and looked at his two grandchildren with a solemn expression, "Filial but not obedient, they are the offspring of my Lu family!"

Finally, his gaze fixed on Lu Linglong. With some heartache, he placed his hand on her head and gently comforted her.

"The world is full of surprises. It has turned out like this. You chose your own path, and you will have to bear the consequences yourself."

Lu Jin withdrew his hand and said softly, "Linglong, everything is settled, let's go with them."

At this time, two people, a man and a woman, walked out from behind Lu Jin. The woman said, "Linglong, we will take care of you during this time."

After she finished speaking, the woman looked at Murong Ji and said, "As the person in charge, isn't it time for you to come back with me?"

Murong Ji was startled. Responsible person? What responsible person?

Looking at Murong Ji's expression, he knew that he had forgotten. Zhao Shuyu was somewhat helpless, "I knew it." Then he walked forward and handed over his appointment letter.

Murong Ji was silent for a moment. The person in charge of the bunker in Taihang Mountain? He remembered that Huang Bairen had told him about this...

Isn't there an official appointment?
"you are?"

Zhao Shuyu: “…”

After a moment of silence, Zhao Shuyu was a little unsure whether Murong Ji didn't recognize her or had forgotten her. She said dejectedly, "I'm your former secretary... Xiao Zhao'er."

Murong Ji suddenly remembered that he had a secretary before...or the person Zhao Fangxu had initially placed beside him.

Coming back to his senses, Murong Ji looked up and saw Lu Jin tightly grasping Li Muxuan's wrist, fearing that he would run away. The two walked towards the outside of the dock...

"Let's go too, my boss!" Zhao Shuyu said sarcastically, and then took Lu Linglong to the company's car.

Murong Ji looked around and didn't see the car that Qu Tong sent to pick him up. He was a little surprised. Has the bunker communicated with Qu Tong? Or has it not returned yet?

After leaving the port, Murong Ji hailed a taxi and headed home.

Not long after I got in the car, a call came from an unfamiliar number and I hung up immediately.

When I walked into the villa, it was a little deserted. The house had been empty for a few days, so the feeling of loneliness and desertedness was not that strong.

After a simple tidying up and taking a shower, he fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, Qu Tong was already sitting at the head of the bed reading a magazine.

"I'm awake. It looks like you're exhausted from this trip."

Murong Ji didn't say anything, but stretched himself and asked, "Have you dealt with everything over there?"

"How could it be so fast? I was called back by Director Zhao at the last minute." Qu Tong put down the magazine, followed Murong Ji to the bathroom, and watched him wash up.

"We are going to the bunker in a while, and we need you to release those people."

Murong Ji was startled and nodded. Zhao Fangxu and the others couldn't wait any longer. After changing clothes, they got in Qu Tong's car and headed directly to Taihang Mountain.

Inside the bunker.

This is the first time Murong Ji has come to the bunker here. Unlike the bunker managed by Liao Zhong, this one is more of a research and development type.

Along the way, there are all kinds of technological instruments.

Walking into a laboratory, Murong Ji took a quick look and saw that all the directors were there, not a single one missing, and there were also some people whose jobs were unknown.

Zhao Shuyu stood aside, dejected and silent.

Seeing Murong Ji coming in, Zhao Fangxu waved his hand, signaling other irrelevant people to go out. After everyone left, only a few directors were left in the room.

"Boss Zhao, you called me..."

"Brother Murong, we have worked together for such a long time, there is no need to do these empty things, let's get down to business first."

As soon as Zhao Fangxu finished speaking, several directors started to move. Bi Youlong pushed over a test bench and stood aside to help.

Just like that, in front of several directors, Murong Ji released foreign aliens one by one, and Qu Tong modified their will and innate mission.

They were either recruited as regular employees or placed as undercover agents... In total, more than fifty strange people were arranged one by one.

Murong Ji was not idle either. He checked their physical conditions and abilities and recorded them on paper.

After everything was arranged, Zhao Fangxu and his companions were almost exhausted. After a short rest, Zhao Fangxu leaned on the laboratory table and said, "Youlong, you should send these people back properly."

"Yes, Director Zhao."

Murong Ji glanced at everyone and saw that they had almost rested. Then he said, "Director Zhao, there is still a troublesome matter for you to deal with."

Then, King Nathan and Elena were released.

Only then did everyone remember them!
There was a moment of silence, and no one could make a decision. Given the current situation, King Nathan would be Behemoth's target no matter which country he appeared in.

After a long time, Zhao Fangxu asked: "Brother Murong, how are you going to deal with this?"

Murong Ji was silent for a moment, then said, "Lock it first. I need to make sure the tree is completely dead."

His words caused silence in the laboratory again. Finally, Zhao Fangxu asked, "Brother Murong, what do you mean by this?"

Zhao Fangxu pushed his glasses and looked at Murong Ji's face, feeling more and more uneasy.

"Mr. Zhao, I think that when we attacked Elijah, the Nathan Sacred Tree already knew about it. And it even set up a plan to escape. The purpose was to disappear from the eyes of the whole world."

Murong Ji glanced at a few people, and finally his eyes fell on Qu Tong. After retracting his gaze, he continued: "The method used by the Nasen Divine Tree is similar to Qu Tong, which controls King Nasen and the Nine Guards..."

After telling the whole story, Murong Ji said no more and watched Zhao Fangxu and other directors make the decision.

"Let's discuss this. Are you sure that Elena doesn't have any branches of the sacred tree on her body?" Seeing Murong Ji nod, Zhao Fangxu signaled Qu Tong to take action.

After Qu Tong finished, Elena was arranged together with other foreign aliens and handed over to Bi Youlong for handling.

Now that the matter has been resolved, what remains is for the company to deal with the aftermath of the incident.

Follow Mr. Su to save the information, especially the original handwritten information, which is not allowed to be circulated outside and can only be obtained in the form of photocopies.

The next day at noon, Zhuge Qing brought Wang Ye back to the company.

Murong Ji was standing at the railing on the rooftop. After he saw Wang Ye enter the interrogation room, he stopped paying attention.

Not long after, the door of the alchemy room was pushed open by Zhuge Qing.

"Brother Murong, I am a little confused... Please give me some advice."

Murong Ji put down the medicine he was preparing, motioned him to sit down, and then warmed up a pot of tea, and said, "Didn't you go to find Wang Ye? What happened? Did he abuse you again?"

"I... Oops!" Zhuge Qing leaned on the sofa in a somewhat depressed manner, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Murong, 'The changes in the Zhoutian, I am the king.'"

"Is Fenghou Qimen really better than Zhuge family's magic Qimen?"

Murong Ji frowned, "You are impatient and irritable. This is a sign of being possessed by a demon. You have practiced in vain."

"Not really, not really, Brother Murong, I just can't figure it out."

Murong Ji exhaled slowly and thought carefully about how to tell Zhuge Qing. "This trip to Nathan Island, seeing Nathan's ending, um... how should I put it."

"Zhuge Qing, do you know how to be a qualified king?"

Zhuge Qing was startled, and thought about it carefully. "Seriously, I have never been a king, so I don't know. If I watch the ones on TV, I think... I can give some answers."

Murong Ji shook his head and then asked, "Then do you know the meaning of the Central Palace?"

Zhuge Qing lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "The Central Palace refers to the Purple Palace, the area around the North Pole in the starry sky, symbolizing the central court represented by the Emperor of Heaven."

"In the "Records of the Grand Historian: Book of Celestial Officials", the celestial sphere is divided into five palaces. The "central palace" refers to the four palaces of the east, south, west and north, which are then built around the star officials at the equinoxes and solstices."

"And it corresponds to the four seasons, symbolizing the four-season palace where the Emperor of Heaven travels around the world. After the Qin and Han dynasties, it was extended to mean the palace where the empress lived, or the empress herself."

Murong Ji nodded and continued, "One of the conditions for being a king is to protect your own safety. Everything else is secondary."

"Only after you have built yourself into an iron barrel and ensured that no one else can usurp power can you talk about other things."

Murong Ji exhaled slowly, "That's why I asked you to focus on your own practice. In my opinion, no matter what kind of magic you use, it is inseparable from the word 'change'."

"What is change? Change is to make changes on the original basis without affecting the essence, which is the breadth. Transformation is to change the essence, which is the refinement."

"No matter what kind of change it is, they are all interdependent and are based on your own Taoism." Murong Ji's face was a little solemn.
