"Arrange for our people to head out of the city immediately and deal with the aftermath."

"Oh, yes, yes, of course. I’ll arrange it right away." The deputy captain nodded and quickly left.

Watching the deputy captain leave, Captain Wang sat down on the sofa, his expression instantly darkening.

"Useless!"

He clenched his fists, his gaze icy.

After a moment of thought, he dialed a comms number.

"It was a failure."

"Fine, understood." A voice came from the other end of the watch before the call disconnected.

Captain Wang leaned back on the sofa, his gaze drifting out the window.

’Lure the snake from its hole... The snake has been lured out, but what a pity...’

Name: Chen Yu

Talent: Infinite Physique (Tier Five 0/5,000,000) [Unique Talent]

Skills: World of Ice (Awakened Legend Tier One 5/10,000,000), Biological Force Field (Golden Legend Advanced 10/1,000,000), God’s Will (Golden Legend Advanced 10/2,000,000), Divine Speed Power (Legend Advanced 15/900,000)

Source of Life: 2,285,978

Skill Points: 0

’I gained about 2.1 million...’

’Not bad.’

Looking at the interface, Chen Yu was quite satisfied.

Killing that Level 6 bandit leader alone had netted him over 850,000 Source of Life.

A Tier-Five mutated beast was worth around 100,000 Source of Life.

Gaining over two million Source of Life in one trip—he was satisfied with this increase.

With over two million, he could upgrade his Divine Speed Power and Biological Force Field.

"Brother Yu, the situation isn’t looking good."

Just then, Baili Qing opened her eyes, her expression grave.

Chen Yu and An Ran looked at Baili Qing.

’The situation isn’t good?’

The two of them were stunned.

"What’s the situation exactly?" An Ran asked.

Baili Qing replied, "From the memory fragments, I learned their operation was orchestrated by the Pantheon Sect. They have a stronghold within Jiang City’s borders."

"Isn’t that a good thing? We can wipe them out in one go. How is that not good?" Chen Yu asked, looking at Baili Qing.

Baili Qing shook her head. "We don’t know the situation at this stronghold, nor the level of the experts stationed there. I’m afraid we can’t act rashly."

"It’s fine. I can use my abilities to scout it out first. If we can’t beat them, we can run," Chen Yu said calmly.

If he upgraded his Divine Speed Power again, he was absolutely confident.

Baili Qing looked at him, her expression grave. "The key problem is... there’s a mole?"

’?’

’A mole?’

Chen Yu and An Ran exchanged a look.

"What do you mean? Don’t tell me there’s a mole among the three of us?" An Ran snapped, glaring at Baili Qing.

Baili Qing shook her head. "The mole I’m talking about isn’t one of us, but in the Jiang City Mercenary Team."

"The Jiang City Mercenary Team?"

Chen Yu and An Ran frowned.

"This mole is one of the Pantheon Sect’s people," Baili Qing added.

"Do you know who it is?" Chen Yu asked, looking at Baili Qing.

Baili Qing shook her head.

"There was no information about this person in the memories. Perhaps only their leader knew."

Chen Yu: "..."

’Only the leader knew... Aren’t we screwed then?’

’The leader’s already kicked the bucket. Where are we supposed to find the mole now?’

Chen Yu’s expression darkened.

"The leader is already dead. Is there any other information?"

Chen Yu asked.

Baili Qing thought for a moment, then said, "Well, there is one thing. I know their hiding spot. Maybe we can find some useful information there."

"Then let’s go check out the hiding spot," Chen Yu said.

The other two nodded.

Just as they were about to leave, a figure rapidly approached from a short distance away. It was Xu Feng.

"Brother Feng, you’re just in time. Something unexpected has come up," An Ran said.

Xu Feng: "?"

"What’s unexpected?"

"There’s a mole from the Pantheon Sect planted in the Jiang City Mercenary Team, but we don’t know who it is yet," Baili Qing said.

"A mole?"

Xu Feng was taken aback.

"This will be difficult to handle without any evidence," Xu Feng said, his expression grave.

"Let’s check the hiding spot first. Maybe there’s some information," Chen Yu said.

Xu Feng paused for a moment before nodding. "Alright, let’s go take a look."

With that, the group left the forest.

「A short while later」

On the slope of South Mountain, inside an old air-raid shelter, the group appeared.

The air-raid shelter was massive, filled with numerous entrances and passages, like a maze.

Anyone unfamiliar with it would likely get lost inside.

However, with Baili Qing leading the way, they quickly reached the main den within the shelter.

There were several simple rooms here, and the four of them each searched one.

After searching for a long time, they found nothing but some random junk.

"There’s no evidence. What do we do now?" The group’s expressions were grim.

Chen Yu thought for a moment, then looked at Baili Qing. "Where is the Pantheon Sect’s stronghold?"

Baili Qing answered, "In a remote villa district in Jiang City. Longjiang Villa."

"Then we can go check out the situation at their stronghold. And wipe it out."

"No way. That’s too dangerous. A Pantheon Sect stronghold is bound to have experts guarding it. What if something happens?" Xu Feng rejected the idea immediately.

"Then we’ll just wipe them out too," Chen Yu said.

"..."

’Wipe them out too? Easy for you to say!’

"No. We can’t take that risk. I forbid it," Xu Feng said with a stern expression.

"Brother Feng, you can’t interfere with our mission," An Ran said weakly.

Xu Feng: "..."

’Damn it, these three ancestors of mine aren’t afraid of anything!’

Looking at the three of them, Xu Feng felt a headache coming on.

’Having to deal with these three is like dancing on a tightrope.’

’They’re powerful, alright!’

’But they’re completely lawless!’

"If something goes wrong, I won’t be able to answer for it!" Xu Feng said, looking at the three of them. "Do you have any idea how powerful the Pantheon Sect is?"

"We have Brother Yu. Don’t forget the power he showed last time," An Ran said.

"..."

"Brother Feng, don’t worry. I’ll go alone. If I can’t beat them, I can run. There definitely won’t be any problems. Are you just going to let this Heterodox Sect run rampant and do nothing?" Chen Yu said with a righteous expression.

Xu Feng: "orz"

’You’re so high and mighty, so amazing. But if you fucking get into trouble, I’m the one who has to take the fall!’
