Chapter 636: Chapter 632: Heading to the Blacklist Headquarters

How terrifying is the wrathful Taotie?

No one knows, because no one has ever survived his monstrous fury.

Super Bionic Robot No.10 was slain within just over a dozen moves.

Half-step Super Bionic Robots were mere clay chickens and porcelain dogs before him.

With a single swing of his sword, he could effortlessly kill them in seconds.

As the last Half-step Super Bionic Robot fell, the crisis came to an end.

But Fang Xiaocao and her team’s injuries signaled that the battle between them, Qi Yu, and the Bionic Robots was imminent.

——

One month later!

Fang Xiaocao recovered from her injuries and was discharged from the hospital, returning to Villa No. 5 with Taotie.

Mountain Foot Villa had already been reduced to ashes by No.10, and Phoenix Nest at the rear mountain was successfully relocated.

Fang Xiaocao gave up on rebuilding Mountain Foot Villa and chose to reside at Villa No. 5.

Upon her discharge, her trusted warriors gathered together.

Today was destined to become another historic moment recorded in Jianghu lore.

Because Fang Xiaocao was about to launch a full-scale assault against the Blacklist, a notorious entity with a fearsome reputation.

Fang Xiaocao’s first goal after being discharged from the hospital was to deal with Qi Yu.

But Qi Yu had hidden himself more thoroughly than a rat; despite a month of relentless investigation by Tom and Thousand Faces, his whereabouts remained elusive.

During this time, Qi Yu had vanished without a trace.

He hadn’t stirred up trouble, which only made it harder for Tom and the others to track him down.

Thus, Fang Xiaocao decided to strike at an old rival, the Blacklist, first.

After dealing with the Blacklist, searching for Qi Yu—the mole—could wait.

This time, Fang Xiaocao aimed to annihilate the Blacklist entirely, gathering all her forces.

Even the freshly recovered Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, Hummingbird, Mantis, Unhappy, and Brainless were present.

But Hei Ta would no longer stand by Fang Xiaocao’s side.

He became the first major loss among her team members.

On that day, No.5’s sword pierced through Hei Ta’s kidney.

Initially, removing the kidney might have saved his life.

But delays in emergency treatment caused excessive blood loss and multiple organ failures.

Despite three days and nights of desperate rescue efforts, Hei Ta could not be pulled back from Ghost Gate.

Fang Xiaocao was heartbroken but understood that Hei Ta’s death was not the end—it was just the beginning.

Hei Ta was the first Knight to leave her, but he would certainly not be the last.

In the days ahead, every battle could claim another Knight.

She was Princess Your Highness and could not show excessive sorrow.

Such emotions could influence many and cloud their judgment, causing them to act rashly.

"This time, heading for Blacklist Headquarters, I will lead Taotie, Unhappy, Xuanwu, and Vermilion Bird personally."

"The rest will be commanded by Thousand Faces and Tom to clean up the Blacklist’s various divisions."

"Does anyone have any objections?"

Fang Xiaocao sat on the sofa, her gaze subdued yet laced with killing intent, sweeping across everyone present and speaking in a low voice.

"We fully trust Princess Your Highness’s decision."

Everyone present echoed in unison, responding to Fang Xiaocao.

"Good!"

"Move out. Victory is the only option in this battle; failure is not allowed."

Fang Xiaocao was satisfied with their response.

At her command, a team capable of overthrowing any force in Jianghu set into motion immediately.

——

Taotie drove the car, carrying Fang Xiaocao and her companions toward the intelligence-provided Blacklist Headquarters.

Blacklist Headquarters was hidden in the least expected place imaginable.

Even Taotie, an ex-high-ranking member of the Blacklist, was surprised to learn their headquarters was located here.

Within Tang City lies a river called Huanxiang River.

It’s a modest river in a district of Tang City, not very wide, but it was once a crucial water source.

Blacklist Headquarters is situated beneath Huanxiang River.

More precisely, fifty meters underground below the riverbed.

With a piercing screech of brakes, Taotie stopped the car at the riverbank of Huanxiang River.

"Princess Your Highness, we’ve arrived."

Taotie reported to Fang Xiaocao in the back seat.

"Get out. It’s time for action!"

Fang Xiaocao opened her eyes and spoke in a deep voice.

Clack—

The car doors opened, and Fang Xiaocao and the others stepped out one after the other.

"The entrance is here."

Vermilion Bird, clad in his signature red robe and holding a newly customized Alloy Folding Fan, pointed at a manhole cover.

"Go in!"

Fang Xiaocao cast a glance and ordered.

"I’ll go!"

Before Fang Xiaocao’s words had even settled, Xuanwu, the most resilient among them, volunteered.

He would act as the trailblazer.

Fang Xiaocao nodded, granting Xuanwu permission to proceed.

Among those present, only Xuanwu was the most suitable for this task.

Upon receiving approval, Xuanwu walked over to the manhole cover, single-armedly lifting it without hesitation.

Without a moment’s delay, he leaped into the manhole.

The section of the underground sewer system was surprisingly clean, without a trace of foul smell.

The passage connecting to the city had long been intentionally sealed.

Sewage from the city couldn’t reach here.

Xuanwu scanned the area, ensuring there was no danger, then signaled that it was safe.

Fang Xiaocao and the others entered in succession, filing into the sewer.

The last one to descend, Taotie, carefully replaced the manhole cover.

To prevent any accidental intrusion.

Looking at the somewhat cold and damp sewer ahead, Fang Xiaocao suddenly recalled a story about four turtles and a rat. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Weren’t those five living in a sewer too?

"Could the mastermind behind Blacklist be an immortalized rat demon?"

Fang Xiaocao thought to herself, indulging in a whimsical notion.

Xuanwu, holding a terminal remotely guided by Tom, led the team from the front.

Remaining steadfast in his role as the trailblazer.

——

Fifty meters underground.

The underground world, expected to be dark and damp, was instead paradoxically brightly lit.

A tall, sharp figure resembling a sword stood clad in a black trench coat, golden hair cascading down, and a cigarette dangling from his lips. His cold eyes were fixed unstinting on the surveillance footage before him.

On the monitor, the video displayed Fang Xiaocao’s team advancing through the sewer.

"Boss, they’re here."

The stout man dressed similarly next to him loudly announced.

The cold man glared at the stout man, rebuking him icily, "I’m not blind."

The stout man flinched in fear, instinctively shrinking his neck.

Sensibly, he shut his mouth, not daring to speak further.

"Hou Qing, let’s give them something to remember."

The cold man ordered into his earpiece.

"Understood, Jiang Chen."

"Keep your eyes on the monitor; don’t blink."

"Everything will unfold as you wish."

A clear female voice responded through the earpiece.

The next moment!

On the video feed, the walls flanking the sewer ahead of Xuanwu cracked open.

Revealing rows of pitch-black gun barrels.

"Incoming, take cover!"

Xuanwu shouted, warning Fang Xiaocao’s team.

At the same time, he spun quickly, shielding Fang Xiaocao’s front with his back against the gun barrels.

In Xuanwu’s eyes, anyone could be injured or even perish—but not Fang Xiaocao, his Princess Your Highness.
