Chapter 515: Leaked Information?
Mr. Fang…”
Ye Shengxue walked out of the room, with sleepy Hong Lian rubbing her eyes and following behind her.
Hong Lian indeed had a child’s mind; in just one day, her dependence had shifted to Ye Shengxue.
“I need to go out for a while, perhaps for two or three days,” Fang Yu looked at Hong Lian and said, “During this time, please take good care of her for me.”
“Mm.” Ye Shengxue nodded.
Fang Yu turned and walked to the balcony, leaped outward, and flew into the distance.
…
South City Square in Xiangcheng.
This was South City’s largest square, which used to gather many people walking after dinner or dancing every evening.
But since the emergence of berserk martial artists, the city square had become much quieter.
Tonight, however, was different.
A real estate company was holding a brand event in the city square, inviting several household-name celebrities to attend.
Half a month ago, this real estate company had already launched extensive publicity for tonight’s brand event.
Tonight, just by coming to the city square, people could not only watch performances by major stars, but also have the chance to win many prizes.
Under such temptation, many people were enticed.
After all, watching performances by major stars for free was a rare opportunity.
Additionally, as the central city of Xiangcheng, South City had always maintained strong security and had almost never experienced attacks by berserk martial artists.
Therefore, by eight o’clock in the evening, nearly four thousand people had gathered in the city square.
Everyone sat in their seats, looking toward the stage built in front.
“So many people… I hope no berserk martial artists appear tonight?” A female staff member standing beside the stage anxiously asked the male staff member next to her.
“This is South City! The Xiangcheng Martial Arts Association building isn’t far from here! What are you afraid of?” the man replied.
“But the Martial Arts Association has warned many times to avoid going out at night…” the woman said softly.
“That warning is for people in other areas! Nothing will happen here. We wouldn’t be able to hold such a large gathering without the Martial Arts Association’s approval. If they approved it, there must be no problem. Besides, our company is the largest real estate developer in Xiangcheng!” the man explained confidently.
“Haven’t you seen all the security guards surrounding this area? They’re here to prevent dangerous situations, so don’t worry.”
The woman turned to look at the nearly hundred security guards standing on both sides and indeed felt more at ease.
…
At that moment, on a high floor of a five-star hotel next to the square.
A woman stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the dense crowd in the square, her eyes flashing with coldness.
If someone were beside her now, they would certainly be frightened by her face.
Because half of her face was covered with black markings.
While the other half revealed beautiful features.
Just then, someone suddenly knocked on the hotel room door.
“Come in,” the woman said, her tone icy.
An elderly man wearing a cyan robe walked in through the door.
This elderly man, like the woman, had half his face covered with black markings.
“How are things progressing?” the elderly man asked.
“The people have gathered, just one step remains,” the woman said coldly.
The elderly man walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the crowd below, and nodded.
“Good, I wasn’t wrong about you. You’re very suitable to be the Holy Maiden of the Witch God Cult… No, the Grand Priest is dead, and the Witch God Cult has been incorporated into our Xuanming Clan. You should be the Holy Maiden of the Xuanming Clan,” the elderly man said with a sinister smile.
The woman glanced at the elderly man and said, “I don’t belong to any faction. I am loyal only to the Immortal King.”
“You don’t need to emphasize that. I am also loyal to the Immortal King. But your attitude has changed quite quickly. If I hadn’t rescued you back then, you would have died…” the elderly man said, narrowing his eyes.
“I won’t forget the life-saving grace you showed me. You don’t need to keep bringing it up,” the woman said.
The elderly man snorted coldly and said no more.
Ever since this woman gained the favor of the Immortal King, she had become somewhat ungrateful.
The elderly man had to constantly remind her to remember the kindness the Xuanming Clan had shown her.
“If we succeed tonight, we can provide the Immortal King with over four thousand bodies of flesh and blood,” the elderly man looked outside, a reckless smile appearing on his face. “This merit is enough to earn us great rewards from the Immortal King!”
“Let’s succeed first. I have a bad feeling,” the woman said.
“What!?” The elderly man’s expression changed as he turned to look at the woman.
At this moment, a third eye opened on the woman’s forehead.
“This eye was also bestowed upon you by the Immortal King, wasn’t it?” the elderly man asked with some jealousy.
“Yes, this is the Eye of Prophecy. I can use it to predict possible future events,” the woman said. “But with my current ability, I can only see about five minutes into the future.”
“Hurry and look. Tonight’s mission absolutely cannot go wrong!” the elderly man said.
The woman didn’t speak. She closed her eyes and only kept the third eye on her forehead open.
Inside the Eye of Prophecy were countless tiny eyeballs, all spinning frantically.
A moment later, the woman opened her eyes, which flashed with terrifying coldness.
“A large group of martial artists at the Master level or above will arrive before our poisonous insects can act… Also, that person is coming!” the woman’s voice carried a chill.
“What!?” The elderly man’s face changed dramatically.
“The position of those poisonous insects has already been discovered!” the woman said through gritted teeth.
“What should we do!?” the elderly man asked, his face ashen.
“I…” The woman’s expression was extremely cold, waves of killing intent bursting from her body.
After seeing that man, the resentment and hatred in her heart completely erupted.
“What exactly should we do!” the elderly man shouted.
The woman came back to her senses, becoming much calmer.
“We must leave here, otherwise we’ll be found soon. Also… immediately order those poisonous insects to disperse and return to their gathering points! Tonight’s operation is canceled!” the woman said coldly.
“Cancel the operation? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!” the elderly man said, eyes wide.
“If we don’t cancel… our losses will be even greater!” the woman shouted coldly.
The elderly man bit his teeth, clenched his fists, and reluctantly looked at the square below.
Originally tonight they could have provided the Immortal King with over four thousand bodies of flesh and blood, establishing great merit.
But now, they were forced to cancel the operation!
He was unwilling!
“Is there really no other way?” the elderly man asked.
“Perhaps there is, but there’s no time to think about it. Fang Yu will arrive here within five minutes! If you don’t want to leave, feel free to stay,” the woman said coldly, turning to walk out of the room.
“F-Fang Yu!?” The elderly man’s face showed terror. He immediately followed the woman’s steps, leaving the room while asking, “How did Fang Yu know our location?!”
“I don’t know either,” the woman answered coldly.
…
Fang Yu floated in mid-air, at a height of nearly five hundred meters.
He held the Dayan Lamp in his hand, infusing it with true qi.
“Whoosh!”
The wick inside the lamp immediately ignited, emitting a pale blue light.
After Fang Yu recited an incantation, the Dayan Lamp left his palm and flew up into the sky.
The faintly blue Dayan Lamp floated in the night sky.
“The most obvious characteristic of the Immortal Clan’s aura is… death energy, which I can’t simulate… Killing intent, that’s it, massive killing intent!”
Fang Yu’s eyes brightened as he extended his right hand.
“Whoosh!”
A large amount of killing intent emanated from Fang Yu’s right hand, floating toward the Dayan Lamp above.
After absorbing this killing intent, the Dayan Lamp suddenly radiated an even stronger light.
Then, it flew rapidly in a certain direction!
Fang Yu immediately moved, following it!
…
On the open space outside the city square, Gao Yang led a group of martial artists standing in place.
“Master Gao, Master Gao…” Ma Fan ran over hurriedly.
“Calm down and speak,” Gao Yang frowned slightly.
Ma Fan panted heavily and said, “I just took my team to search the empty buildings nearby. We didn’t find any berserk martial artists, but we could clearly sense their lingering aura… It seems they received information and have already scattered!”
“Scattered? Is there someone among us who leaked the information?” Gao Yang’s tone suddenly turned cold.
