Chapter 516 Killing with a Borrowed Knife!

High Yang’s words caused the faces of the surrounding team members to change.

Indeed, if no one had leaked information, why would this group of berserk warriors all flee together?

“Master High, since these berserk warriors haven’t gone far, shouldn’t we pursue them?” Jiang Hua asked from beside him.

High Yang swept his gaze over everyone present, his eyes sharp.

If tonight’s operation had gone smoothly, they could have eliminated nearly a hundred berserk warriors.

But now, they had let tigers return to the mountain.

These berserk warriors would definitely look for another opportunity to strike, and who knows how many more people would die at their hands.

The leak of information was an extremely serious matter.

If there were also problems within the Warriors Association, resolving the berserk warrior incident in Xiang City would become even more difficult.

“Master High…” Jiang Hua spoke again when he saw High Yang remaining silent with a gloomy face.

“Pursuing now would catch at most a few of them, which is meaningless,” High Yang said gravely. “Continue to spread our surveillance network, and we must detect the gathering of berserk warriors in advance, just like tonight.”

“Understood,” the surrounding team members responded in unison.

“Additionally,” High Yang looked toward Zhao Ji, pointing at the bustling crowd in the square ahead, and frowned, “Chairman Zhao, how could you allow an event of this scale to be held under these circumstances?”

Zhao Ji’s heart sank as he said, “Master High, our Xiang City Martial Arts Association issues warnings every day, but…”

“Not just warnings! These gatherings must be strictly prohibited!” High Yang said coldly.

“I, I understand. We have required that any company wanting to hold large events in the city must apply for permission from the local Martial Arts Association… and according to regulations, such a large-scale gathering would absolutely not be granted permission…” Zhao Ji’s face turned slightly pale as he spoke.

Hearing these words, High Yang frowned deeply and asked, “Your Xiang City Martial Arts Association is nearby, didn’t they apply to you?”

“This is Nandu, they should have applied for permission from the Nandu Martial Arts Association,” Zhao Ji answered.

High Yang pondered for a moment, then said, “Send someone to question the person in charge of this real estate company. Also, find out who approved their application.”

“Understood, I’ll send someone to handle it immediately,” Zhao Ji said.

“Captain Ma, take your men to disperse the crowd, tell them to go home immediately and not stay here,” High Yang then said to Ma Fan.

Ma Fan immediately turned and ordered twenty team members to follow him toward the square.

“Master High, what should we do now?” Jiang Hua asked.

High Yang turned to look at his three subordinates.

All three were from the Xuanwu Group, having reached the Martial Sovereign realm with formidable strength.

“According to previous intelligence, berserk warriors themselves don’t possess much consciousness. But they appeared in groups and fled in groups. This behavior indicates… someone is manipulating these berserk warriors from behind the scenes,” High Yang said.

“We don’t have much intelligence at the moment, so we must accelerate our information gathering.”

“Now, the three of you search in three different directions, maximize the use of your divine sense, and if you discover any suspicious individuals, report to me immediately.”

“Understood.”

The three subordinates responded in unison, then immediately flashed off in three different directions.

High Yang watched the dispersing crowd ahead, then turned to look at the nearby high-rise buildings, his brow furrowed.

As a Martial Saint, he possessed extremely keen intuition.

His intuition told him that the person manipulating the berserk warriors from behind hadn’t gone far.

However, despite this intuition, he had no way to proceed.

The surrounding area was too vast, with extremely high population density.

Without any information about the target, finding such a person would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

High Yang stroked his chin, looking at the various buildings around him.

Then, he rushed toward one of the tallest hotels.

…

On the fifty-second floor of the hotel, at the end of the corridor, there was a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

A woman and an old man stood in front of the window.

The Prophet’s Eye on the woman’s forehead remained open, in a state of frantic operation.

She was predicting various futures.

“Why come here? Our teleportation point is downstairs!” the old man asked.

“If we go downstairs, we’ll face a Martial Saint realm expert from the Martial Arts Association. Are you sure you want to go down?” the woman looked at the old man and said coldly.

“Martial Saint realm…” the old man’s face changed, his uneasiness intensifying as he urgently asked, “What should we do then? Standing here is just waiting to die, isn’t it?”

The woman didn’t speak, the Prophet’s Eye on her forehead still operating.

When he heard that a Martial Saint realm expert was coming, the old man could no longer remain calm.

Although he was the clan leader of the Xuanming Clan, his strength wasn’t as great as many elders in the clan! Let alone confronting a Martial Saint realm expert!

Moreover, Fang Yu was also heading this way!

Both were beings he couldn’t oppose. If they found him, the only outcome would be death!

“We must find a way!” Sweat beaded on the old man’s forehead.

“Call back those berserk warriors, let them divert attention, so Fang Yu and that Martial Saint won’t come looking for us!” A flash of inspiration struck the old man.

“I told you, there’s not enough time. We have at most one minute left,” the woman said.

The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the woman, saying, “Why are you so calm? If Fang Yu sees you, you’ll truly die, and no one can save you this time!”

The woman looked at the old man, her beautiful eyes flashing with icy coldness and viciousness.

A chilling murderous aura emanated from her body.

“Fang Yu will never have another chance to kill me.”

As she spoke, a black light flashed in the woman’s hand, revealing a black pearl.

“This is a magical treasure bestowed upon me by the Immortal King, capable of instantly teleporting a person a thousand miles away,” the woman said.

“So you have such a good item! No wonder you’re not nervous at all… Use it quickly! There’s not much time left!” The old man’s face lit up with joy.

The woman’s red lips suddenly curved upward, revealing a bewitching smile.

“Yes, of course I will use it,” the woman said, “However, this pearl can only teleport one person.”

The old man’s face froze, then he realized what the woman intended to do.

She wanted to leave by herself!

“You, you…” The old man’s face turned ashen, panic and rage mingling in his heart.

“I have no choice. Blame yourself for not gaining the Immortal King’s favor,” the woman said coldly.

As she spoke, the woman gripped the black pearl, about to crush it.

The old man suddenly reached out, trying to snatch the black pearl from the woman’s hand.

But the woman just sneered mockingly and struck forward with her left palm.

“Puff!”

The force of this palm was not light; the old man directly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

“You vile woman, I am your life-saving benefactor, yet you dare to repay kindness with enmity!” the old man clutched his chest, glaring angrily at the woman.

“Life-saving benefactor? You just coveted my beauty, didn’t you?” Recalling the time when she was first rescued by the old man, the woman’s beautiful eyes were filled with disgust.

Then, she crushed the black pearl in her hand.

“Even as a ghost, I won’t let you go!” the old man opened his mouth and shouted.

The woman didn’t speak, a black light emanating from her body.

The next second, she disappeared from sight, her aura vanishing with her.

The old man’s eyes were filled with hatred.

He struggled to his feet, clutching his chest, thinking about how to escape.

There wasn’t enough time now; he couldn’t take the elevator.

He could only jump out from the floor-to-ceiling window!

The old man walked to the window, preparing to jump out.

But at that moment, a figure appeared outside the window, right before his eyes.

It was Fang Yu.

Seeing this old man, Fang Yu frowned slightly.
