293: Haifa

Su Yunsheng came to pick up Fang Bai personally!

The latter thought something had happened, but Su Yunsheng took the initiative to explain, "The headquarters of the Red Robe Cult has been identified. It's time for us to act."

Fang Bai's expression shifted. Had the day finally arrived?

Those cultist bastards had committed many atrocities; it was time to settle the score with them.

Back at the Guardian Alliance base, Fang Bai was surprised to find that several big shots, including Bei Yuan, had arrived.

The human side placed great importance on this operation to suppress the Red Robe Cult's nest.

"Fang Bai, you're taking those youngsters this time. Don't let them all get killed on me!"

Bei Yuan cautioned.

Fang Bai curled his lip. "By that logic, wouldn't it be better to just let them develop quietly at home and send a few Ninth-Rank Experts to settle it?"

Everyone: ... "Kid, do you think Ninth-Rank Experts are as common as cabbages? Each one of them is the foundation of the Dragon Nation. Moreover, if Ninth-Rank Experts are mobilized on a large scale, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Demon Race, and they will hunt us down at all costs!"

Su Yunsheng spoke up at this moment.

Fang Bai nodded. "Alright then."

The people from the Guardian Alliance had gathered. After several days of cultivation, Qi Tian and the others had made significant breakthroughs in strength.

Top-tier geniuses like Su Su and Murong Hen had now reached the peak of the Sixth Rank, while many others had also broken through to the Sixth Rank. As for A Xiu, she had also reached the Sixth Rank.

Qi Tian and Xiao Yuan were both at the peak of the Fifth Rank!

To be able to increase their strength so much in just a few days was truly monstrous!

Bei Yuan then said, "For this mission to wipe out the Red Robe Cult, the head of the Su Family will lead the team, coordinating with several Heavenly Kings and other experts from the Dragon King Hall, as well as experts sent by the various Noble Families. Your mission this time is simple: annihilate the cultists on the coastline in one fell swoop!"

Su Yunsheng waved his hand and said, "No need for more nonsense. Let's head out immediately. Any later, and those two Heavenly Kings really will perish."

Murong Hai and that Sea King were already trapped on an island, their situation dire. This sudden operation was also intended to rescue them.

Bei Yuan didn't say much more and added, "I've arranged for a transport plane. You'll fly there. However, take note..."

At this point, he glanced at Su Yunsheng. Well, there was actually no need to worry about anything, since a Ninth-Rank Expert was accompanying them.

After everyone boarded the plane, it took off and quickly disappeared deep into the clouds.

Bei Yuan watched the plane depart, his gaze worried. "I hope nothing goes wrong in this battle..."

...Above the firmament.

Inside the cabin, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

After all, they were going to face a cult. Those executioners acted maliciously and were extremely cruel. Moreover, they were powerful, and this was the cult's headquarters—perhaps even the Cult Leader would be there!

Rumor had it that the Cult Leader had reached the Ninth Rank, and besides him, there were many powerful cultists.

The most worried were Murong Hen and the others; it was their first time receiving such a mission.

Since becoming members of the Guardian Alliance, their strength had improved rapidly, and they had begun to taste the benefits. However, benefits and costs coexist; they also needed to complete missions far more brutal than those of others!

Compared to their concern, Fang Bai and the others were quite carefree.

"Pair of Threes!"

"Pair of Aces!"

"Pair of Twos!"

"Pass."

"Airplane! Out."

"Not cool, Buddy. You played a whole sequence? I haven't even used my Joker Bomb yet!"

"Tsk tsk, it's called the element of surprise. Pay up, pay up!"

The three of them were playing Fight the Landlord: Fang Bai, Qi Tian, and Su Yunsheng.

Yes, this Ninth-Rank Expert was just sitting there playing cards with them.

Su Yunsheng glared at Fang Bai irritably. "You brat! I'm a Ninth-Rank Expert, a figure at the pinnacle of humanity's pyramid. Can't you show some mercy?"

Fang Bai shrugged and said calmly, "Senior Su, you're a peerless Ninth-Rank Expert after all. Surely you can afford a hundred bucks?"

Qi Tian sat stiffly to the side, not daring to interject.

Fang Bai dared to speak, but he didn't! He was just a minor Fifth-Rank; he was terrified that the Ninth-Rank Expert might accidentally obliterate him with a sneeze if he got annoyed.

Su Yunsheng narrowed his eyes and stared at Fang Bai. "Good kid! Fine, again!"

"Joker Bomb!"

Fang Bai waved the cards in his hand and said with a smile, "I have another 'Airplane' this time. If you don't play now, you won't get another chance."

Su Yunsheng: ...Play what? You already used a Joker Bomb! Who has a hand bigger than yours?

"Airplane!"

"You brat definitely cheated!"

"I didn't! If I cheated, how could I escape the eyes of a Ninth-Rank Expert?"

"..."

Not far away, a woman stood leaning against the inner wall of the plane, the turbulence failing to affect her.

Azure King glanced at Fang Bai and the others, her brow furrowing slightly.

These guys really were carefree.

Others might not know the strength of the cult, but she did. It was full of experts, and the Cult Leader was a Ninth-Rank Expert. If they were really that easy to wipe out, the Dragon Nation wouldn't have allowed them to develop all these years.

This suppression would surely cause many casualties!

"I think it's better to be optimistic. Actually, the cult isn't that scary."

A light chuckle sounded beside her.

Azure King glanced at him and said, "Our opponent isn't just the Red Robe Cult."

Rain King smiled. "Whatever. Since those above made such an arrangement, they must have their considerations. We just need to complete the mission."

"Tsk tsk, if that old fellow the Dragon King also came, then it would be truly safe."

The Dragon King was an old monster who was already close to the Ninth Rank. As long as a Ninth-Rank didn't show up, he could basically slaughter everyone effortlessly!

Azure King said, "He needs to guard the Dragon Nation and face the pressure from the Demon Race directly. So this time, we can only succeed; we cannot fail!"

Slap!

Su Yunsheng threw down his cards in anger. "I'm not playing anymore! Damn it, a hundred bucks a round, and I've lost over ten thousand!"

Fang Bai, on the other hand, tucked the money he had won into his pocket with a smile, saying, "Tsk tsk, making some extra cash on a trip. It seems my luck is going to hold out until the end."

Su Yunsheng said disdainfully, "You're certainly thinking optimistically."

Fang Bai put away the money and then asked, "Senior, is the cult's headquarters really on that island?"

Su Yunsheng nodded calmly. "Naturally. Murong Hai's information won't be wrong. It's just that there's one thing that makes me suspicious: those guys seem to have revealed their location voluntarily, as if they were deliberately leading us there."

Fang Bai frowned. "No way? Aren't they afraid of being ganged up on by our Ninth-Rank Experts?"

Su Yunsheng nodded and said, "That's the strange part. So this time, it's still very dangerous for you guys. Kid, you can give me your money for safekeeping now. If you die one day, I can hand your belongings to your parents."

Fang Bai's mouth twitched. "No thanks, I can keep it safe myself."

If I give it to you, can I ever get it back?

Besides, with my strength, who could kill me?
