72: Chapter 72 Infiltration

But she quickly realized that since Tang Mo had joined the Heavenly Sword Bureau, she no longer needed to worry about her father's situation or her own.

Tu Xiaoxia felt happy, yet a little melancholy. With Tang Mo already in the Heavenly Sword Bureau, it seemed the gap between them was only growing wider.

The observant Tu Nie naturally noticed his daughter's thoughts, but the heights Tang Mo had now reached were beyond even his own grasp.

Tang Mo gave careful instructions for Tu Nie and Tu Xiaoxia to remain where they were, telling them to return to the city only after he had dealt with all members of the Beast God Society within it.

Tu Nie had no choice but to follow Tang Mo's arrangements, especially since he was still a wanted man.

After bidding farewell to Tu Nie, Tang Mo headed back to the city.

Night fell and the lights flickered on; the atmosphere of the night market was just as lively as it had been in Tang Mo's previous life.

At that moment, in a dark alleyway, two figures were in secret consultation.

"Those old geezers didn't die! That's quite unexpected. It seems the incident in Jiangkou City was by no means a coincidence; the Beast God Society is planning a major move."

"Not only that, but this time, even the group of desperate criminals newly cultivated by the Beast God Society will be participating. It involves over thirty counties and cities; relying on just the few of us to handle it all is likely impossible. Should we call the others over as well?"

Within the shadows, Wei Shenchou shook his head slightly. "They have their own missions and cannot leave at will. For now, we can only rely on ourselves."

"Then we will have to make some sacrifices."

Wei Shenchou nodded helplessly. "Pass the word down: anyone who encounters members of the Beast God Society, or those suspected of being members, is to execute them on the spot. Do everything possible to cover those areas. Furthermore, this operation is to be conducted solely by us in the Heavenly Sword Bureau; do not involve the local Guard Army. If anyone stands in our way, regardless of their rank, execute them immediately!"

"Understood!"

"We do what we can and leave the rest to fate; the rest is up to them."

After disposing of all the equipment and materials on his person, Tang Mo finally took a vehicle home.

Just as he stepped through his front door, the token in his pocket began to vibrate.

Tang Mo took out the token; the gilded small sword on it was emitting a constant glow. "Could it be that the operation has already begun?"

Tang Mo channeled his spiritual energy into it and quickly received the message Wei Shenchou had left for him.

However, after listening to Wei Shenchou's message, Tang Mo's face turned green.

"What do you mean the situation in Jiangkou City is left to me?! I'm just a level 22 newbie!"

Nevertheless, Tang Mo could hear the severity of the situation from Wei Shenchou's message.

Wei Shenchou and the other members of the Heavenly Sword Bureau were already conducting clean-up operations in the more critical regions.

Jiangkou City was located in a remote area, and most of the Professionals there were not of very high levels.

Tang Mo recalled that the highest-level person in all of Jiangkou City seemed to be Tu Nie, a level 145 Beast Tamer.

Thinking of this, Tang Mo quickly opened his computer and searched for the Vice Commander of the Jiangkou City Guard Army.

Since his identity as a member of the Beast God Society was confirmed, he needed to learn more about his opponent.

When Wei Shenchou left the message telling Tang Mo to handle the Beast God Society members in Jiangkou City himself, he hadn't told him who they were. Consequently, Tang Mo was completely in the dark and had no idea who his opponents were.

Tang Mo quickly found information about the Vice Commander of the Jiangkou City Guard Army online.

Guan Ruifeng, level 132, Rare-class Professional, Shadow Assassin.

Tang Mo also took the opportunity to check information regarding Zhao Tianba, discovering that he was also a Rare-class Professional—a Giant Axe Warrior—with a level as high as 143, just two levels below Tu Nie.

This made Tang Mo feel troubled.

The alertness and combat capabilities of Professionals were far superior to ferocious beasts of the same level. This was the reason why, despite ferocious beasts having stats that crushed Professionals at the same level, they were still killed by them.

If he were to truly face them, Tang Mo's win rate might not even be ten percent.

As for the characteristic that Tang Mo's toxins had no time limit, who knew if they would persist after Tang Mo died?

With a gap of over a hundred levels, Tang Mo probably couldn't even manage a sneak attack.

Once discovered by them, they would likely have a hundred ways to kill him; after all, they were both battle-hardened veterans.

Tang Mo went through all the notable Professionals in Jiangkou City, secretly memorizing their information; perhaps the remnants of the Beast God Society were hiding among them.

What should he do?

Other than Guan Ruifeng and Zhao Tianba, who were confirmed to be members of the Beast God Society, Tang Mo was completely in the dark about the rest.

Looking at Guan Ruifeng's information, Tang Mo fell into deep thought. "How about I enter the tiger's den and follow the trail to find the source?"

"I'll follow the trail of Guan Ruifeng to dig out all the members of the Beast God Society hiding in Jiangkou City."

"But the Guard Army's defenses are strict; how can I get inside?"

Gazing at the pitch-black sky outside the window, Tang Mo suddenly had an idea. "It seems I'll have to sneak in under the cover of darkness."

With that, Tang Mo stood up and walked out.

The Guard Army camp in Jiangkou City was located on the north side of the city, three hundred meters from the city wall.

After passing through the tall iron gate, one could see the dormitories of the Guard Army and various facilities used for daily training.

Although the Guard Army camp was brightly lit, there were always dark corners that the light could not reach.

Tang Mo utilized the passive ability of his Body of Poison, wrapping himself within a Poison Barrier that was only as wide as his body. Then, transforming into gas, he slowly drifted through the dark corners.

Upon entering, Tang Mo was surprised to find that the defenses in the Guard Army camp did not seem as strict as he had imagined.

After navigating through several twists and turns, Tang Mo successfully located the building housing the office of the Vice Commander of the Jiangkou City Guard Army.

He certainly couldn't enter through the main entrance. Tang Mo looked up at the office building, which stood about thirty to forty meters tall.

In the past, whenever he elementalized, he had always flown close to the ground. As for whether he could fly to such a height, Tang Mo wasn't sure.

But since he was already here, he had to give it a try.

With this in mind, Tang Mo directly elementalized his body and began to fly toward the roof of the office building.

Tang Mo slowed his speed as much as possible, keeping his body pressed close to the wall to avoid attracting attention.

It took Tang Mo nearly half an hour to cover the thirty to forty-meter distance and reach the roof.

On the roof, Tang Mo immediately spotted the office building's ventilation system and slipped right inside.

The ventilation system was running, constantly expelling gas, so Tang Mo had to move against the airflow.

After wandering through the office building for who knows how long, Tang Mo finally found Guan Ruifeng's office.

There was not only Guan Ruifeng in the office; there was also someone sitting opposite him, and the two were discussing something.

Through the ventilation duct, Tang Mo could clearly see that the person sitting opposite Guan Ruifeng was none other than the president of the Tyrant Slaughter Guild, Zhao Tianba.
