Chapter 127 – Secure

After entering the city, An and his group didn’t act rashly. Instead, they started looking for a place to stay, then secretly sought Xiali, and at the same time investigated what had happened in the city over the past few years.

Xiali, the Cutting Beast, had already been beheaded by Su Hao. It was impossible for them to find her.

After searching for three days with no results, An gave up on continuing to seek Xiali and instead focused entirely on investigating the events of Silin City over the past few years.

His investigation method was simple: pretend to be a new resident from out of town looking to buy a house, hire a realtor, and then, while viewing properties, casually ask why housing prices had risen so much.

After that, the realtor’s mouth wouldn’t stop.

An obtained all the information he wanted.

Of course, he wouldn’t rely on just one person’s word. He sent three subordinates to conduct the same investigation simultaneously, and then compiled the results to get the most truthful and reliable information.

That night, An sat quietly at his desk, organizing the events of Silin City in his mind, and quickly reached a conclusion.

First, Silin City had changed hands and was now controlled by a gang called the ‘Temple Forest Society’. The slogans on the streets and alleys were the work of the ‘Temple Forest Society’.

Second, the Bone Demon Deli and the Thread Demon Xike had died two years ago. Therefore, the flesh and blood of the Bone Demon must be in the hands of the ‘Temple Forest Society’. To obtain the Bone Demon’s flesh and blood, they would have to confront the organization.

Third, based on the intensity of the battles two years ago, the ‘Temple Forest Society’s’ most advanced Evolved Humans were only level four, named ‘Boss Wei’ and ‘Leader Yashan’. There would be no level five Evolved Humans. Level five Evolved Humans would essentially not engage in combat with level four Evolved Humans; it would be an instant kill.

Fourth, the ‘Temple Forest Society’ advocated for protecting the normal lives of ordinary people, and Evolved Human fights must occur within the rules.

Fifth, judging by Xiali’s personality, she was very likely dead, killed by the ‘Temple Forest Society’.

…

An listed them one by one.

Then he thought about his own objectives.

Objective one: Seek Xiali.

This item can be removed.

Objective 2: Acquire the flesh of the Bone Demon.

An closed his eyes and leaned back slowly in his chair, contemplating how to successfully achieve his objective: acquiring the flesh of the Bone Demon.

He is a Level 4 Evolved Human, a Speed Demon, with abilities including ‘Invisibility,’ ‘Super Speed,’ ‘Dynamic Vision,’ ‘Tear,’ and ‘Sky Walking.’

If the Bone Demon were still Deli, acquiring a piece of the Bone Demon Deli’s flesh would be easy for him. A single encounter would be enough to sever the opponent’s arm and take it away.

But it’s no longer the Bone Demon; it’s two individuals named ‘Boss Wei’ and ‘Yashan,’ the leaders.

He is unsure who the Bone Demon is.

Once he makes a move and happens to not obtain the Bone Demon’s flesh, he will lose his advantage of operating from the shadows.

This would mean danger for him, a situation he absolutely cannot allow.

Moreover, one is the Bone Demon, but the other’s sequence as a Level 4 Evolved Human is yet to be determined.

Perhaps…

Nightfiend!!!

An’s mind flashed to a suspicious individual, possibly a Nightfiend, who had tricked him four years ago.

That’s right!

It all makes sense now.

The Nightfiend was lurking in Silin City, assisting a Shen Armor Evolution. At that time, the objective was Forde, who was still a Crawler. Then, the Nightfiend found an opportunity, killed the Bone Demon Deli and the Thread Demon Xike, and became the new master of this city!

According to Forde’s description at the time, the shorter one was the Nightfiend, and the taller one should be the newly arrived Bone Demon.

So, all I need to do is ask about the appearance of ‘Boss Wei’ and ‘Yashan,’ the leaders, to confirm who the Bone Demon is and who I need to attack!

Having figured everything out, An slowly stood up.

The others in the room immediately looked up at An.

An showed a smile. “Don’t worry! The Bone Demon’s flesh will be mine soon! Wait until I take the Bone Demon’s head, and incidentally, avenge Xiali.”

The heart of Deli, the Counter-Thorn Beast, immediately settled. He knew his Bone Demon flesh was secured.

Because when An showed such a smile, it meant An had confidence and would definitely obtain the Bone Demon’s flesh.

Deli, the Counter-Thorn Beast, had never seen An fail!

The next morning, Yashan found Su Hao.

Yashan said, “Boss Wei, Meng Chuan watched for four days and only heard one useful piece of information. They are after the Bone Demon’s flesh.”

Su Hao’s lips curled into a smile, and he said lightly, “That makes it easy! Drive them out first, then deal with them all! As for that [Speed Demon] An, leave him to me!”

Su Hao didn’t want to play any mind games with the other party. Since their intentions were impure, he wouldn’t hold back, to avoid endless trouble later.

When dealing with people who liked to play mind games, Su Hao preferred to let his fists do the talking.

If your fists aren’t strong enough, don’t bother dealing with them.

Otherwise, you’ll be the one who suffers.

Yashan scratched his head and said, “Boss Wei! There are too many people in the city, how should I drive them out?”

Su Hao casually replied, “Just make a sudden move, grab one or two Level 3 Evolved Humans, and drag them straight towards Outside the City. The farther the better. Remember to keep your defensive runes fully activated the entire time.”

Yashan’s eyes were filled with admiration. Why hadn’t he thought of that?

As expected, the boss is the boss!

“Alright, Boss Wei!”

Su Hao added, “No need to wait until night, you can act now.”

“Alright, Boss Wei!” With that, Yashan immediately set off.

Su Hao let out a long sigh and muttered, “An… is quite talented, but he’s just unlucky! He can’t just think of eating meat and then remember Silin City!”

He hasn’t made any contributions to Silin City, yet he needs Silin City when he’s about to evolve.

Su Hao can clearly state that Silin City is not a place for him to exploit.

Just as An Harmony’s three subordinates were splitting up to gather information, Yashan, pretending to run into her, passed by [Tibetan Beast] Yi.

Yashan chose to target Yi first because if [Tibetan Beast] were to burrow underground, she would be hard to catch. So, she was the first objective.

And [Tibetan Beast] Yi was completely unaware of the impending danger.

The moment she crossed paths with Yashan.

Yashan suddenly produced a large rock and smashed it directly onto the back of [Tibetan Beast] Yi’s head.

Yi, struck hard, her eyes rolled back, and she went limp, about to fall. Yashan quickly caught her in his arms, pretending to be lovers.

Most citizens only recognized Su Hao as ‘Boss Wei’ and didn’t know who ‘Boss Yashan’ was, so no one paid attention to them since they weren’t Catalysts.

If you ask why Yashan was so skilled at hitting with a rock, it’s mainly because Su Hao taught him well; the technique was passed down.

Yashan quickly walked away with [Tibetan Beast] Yi in his arms, heading in another direction. The next objective was [Counter-Thorn Beast] Forde.

Why not choose [Corrosion Beast] Alai?

The Corrosion Beast is covered in poison. I dare not attack. Capturing the two of them is enough.

Yashan had been training his Blood Qi with Su Hao for a long time. Even without transforming into the Bone Demon, he could exert great power in his normal state.

Although other Evolved Humans could also exert very powerful strength in their normal states, they were no match for Yashan at all.

Soon, Yashan arrived behind the Counter-Thorn Beast, Forde. To his surprise, the Counter-Thorn Beast, Forde, was unusually alert, tilting his head slightly.

Bang!

It missed. Forde only felt dazed for a moment and didn’t pass out immediately. He immediately began to transform into the Counter-Thorn Beast.

Yashan regretfully tossed the rock aside.

Since he didn’t pass out, I’ll just take him down by force!

Thank you, brothers, for the rewards and Harmony votes. Six chapters are served today! Starting tomorrow, there will be a stable three chapters a day, with extra chapters if possible!
