71: Your sixth-level certification is way too inflated!

Fang Bai and the others followed Zhan Mian into the jeep.

On the way, Fang Bai asked curiously, "Senior, are you confident about this operation?"

Zhan Mian smiled slightly, "Of course we are. We at the Shadow Pavilion are quite prudent; we wouldn't take action unless we had absolute certainty."

"It's said that Feilan Biotech Company is a nest for a cult, and they even have a Sixth-tier Martial Artist."

Qi Tian said tentatively.

Zhan Mian glanced at him, raised an eyebrow, and smiled, "Didn't your old man tell you how strong I am?"

Qi Tian shook his head.

Zhan Mian gave a mysterious smile, "Don't worry. Entrusted by your father this time, I'm letting you tag along to see the world. Just don't get scared enough to wet your pants."

Qi Tian immediately patted his chest and said, "Senior, you're underestimating us. What kind of scenes haven't we seen?"

Zhan Mian smiled, "It's great to be young!"

Not yet beaten by reality, with blood still hot, such spirited youngsters... I really want to see them break down.

Soon, the jeep arrived at a very ordinary-looking house, just like the common residential buildings on the roadside.

After Zhan Mian got out of the car, he said to Fang Bai and the others, "Follow me."

As he spoke, he walked into the house. Fang Bai and the others followed, and then they saw Zhan Mian activate a switch, after which a Dark Gate appeared.

"A secret room?"

Fang Bai and the others all looked curious.

Zhan Mian chuckled, "No need to be shocked, it's a basic operation. This is also to avoid some of the cult's covert lines."

He walked in.

"Stay close."

After everyone's figures disappeared, the door to the secret room slowly closed.

After walking for a long time through the dim passage, they finally reached the other end of the secret room.

The secret room was opened again, and they had arrived in a courtyard.

There were other people in the courtyard.

A woman lying on a swing glanced over at them before looking away.

Zhan Mian looked at the curious group and smiled, "This is our temporary stronghold."

Qi Tian suddenly looked into the distance and said in surprise, "Isn't that Feilan Biotech Company?"

Fang Bai and the others also looked over and found that it really was.

At this moment, a few people walked over.

One of the men said in surprise, "Huh? Boss, why did you bring some brats back? What, are they Cultists?"

Fang Bai and the others: "..."

Zhan Mian smiled indifferently, "They are students from the Martial Arts Academy. Oh right, this is the young master of the Qi family. They will be participating in the operation with us from now on."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else looked surprised.

They looked at Fang Bai and the others with curiosity, but upon sensing their cultivation levels, they immediately fell silent.

"This... Boss, this operation is so dangerous, why are they participating? Isn't this just increasing the difficulty for us?"

The man said displeasedly.

Zhan Mian looked at him, "Zhang Long, are you saying you don't want to listen to my orders?"

The man named Zhang Long twitched his mouth and shrugged, "Fine, whatever you say."

He was just an employee anyway.

Zhan Mian suddenly looked at the woman lying on the swing nearby and said, "Yingyue, they will follow you for now. You are responsible for intercepting any stragglers."

The woman gave a soft hum and suddenly asked, "Dead or alive?"

Zhan Mian thought for a moment and then said, "We took the payment, so we should keep them alive."

The woman said nothing more.

Fang Bai and the others had strange expressions on their faces, not knowing if Zhan Mian meant them or the Cultists.

"How is the situation over at Lone Wolf's side?"

One of the bespectacled men holding a laptop said, "Thirteen minutes ago, the general manager's secretary of Feilan left the company. Their trajectory is a bit unusual, and our people are following them."

Zhan Mian frowned, "It seems they are in a hurry to die."

"Notify everyone, get ready to close the net."

"Understood!"

...

Top floor of Feilan Biotech Company.

The bespectacled man stood in front of the window, overlooking the bustling traffic below.

"Why do I have a bad premonition?"

At this moment, a phone rang.

He narrowed his eyes and walked to the desk. It was his private phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Leave immediately! Your whereabouts have been exposed!"

A synthesized electronic voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

The bespectacled man's expression changed slightly.

Boom!

Just then, a series of explosions suddenly rang out downstairs!

"Damn it—"

The bespectacled man growled, "Why? We clearly weren't exposed..."

He opened his computer and, through the surveillance, discovered several powerful figures heading straight for the top floor!

And those Cultists had originally intended to blend in with the ordinary people, but the invading figures were always able to find them accurately!

The battle was about to break out!

The bespectacled man's expression was ugly. This was clearly a well-prepared attack; obviously, they had been exposed for a long time!

With a fierce look on his face, the bespectacled man waved his hand violently, and a burst of intense energy directly destroyed the computer and other equipment!

He himself then crashed straight into the glass, wanting to escape immediately.

Bang!

The glass shattered!

But the next second, a figure shot back like a cannonball! It slammed hard into the wall!

It was the bespectacled man.

He spat out a large mouthful of blood and stared outside in horror.

A burly man was seen hovering in the air, a cruel smile on his lips, "This path is blocked."

"Damn it... You are a Seventh-Tier Expert, a Seventh-Tier Expert from the Shadow Pavilion!"

The bespectacled man's eyes showed fear.

He didn't expect them to dispatch a Seventh-Tier Expert to deal with him.

"The Red Robe Cult really knows how to reach out; to spare no expense in establishing a company, tsk tsk, what a waste."

Zhan Mian said with a playful expression.

"Tell me, what is your purpose?"

The bespectacled man's expression was ferocious as he growled, "You want to know? Get past me first!"

Zhan Mian snorted coldly, "A mere Sixth-tier Martial Artist, and you really think you're something?"

He punched violently at the bespectacled man!

The pressure raised by the massive Alien Energy shattered all the surrounding glass directly!

The bespectacled man's face changed drastically. Not daring to be negligent, he hurriedly circulated his energy to resist this punch!

However, he still underestimated the power of a Seventh-Tier Expert and was directly blasted into critical injury by the punch!

This floor also fell apart, unable to withstand the power of a Seventh-Tier Expert.

The bespectacled man spat blood uncontrollably, looking extremely wretched.

"Is this all the strength your Red Robe Cult bishop has? Your Sixth-tier status is so watered down; could it be that you've hollowed out your body with wine and women every day?"

Zhan Mian teased.

The bespectacled man stared at him coldly, then suddenly revealed a strange smile, "Heh... hehe, even if you've uncovered my identity, so what? It's too late! It's already too late! The ritual has descended! My mission is complete!"

Zhan Mian frowned and stepped on his chest, "Ritual? What did you do to the Magic City?!"

"Hahaha! Of course, it's to make your city completely fall into a battlefield!!!"

The bespectacled man laughed wildly, and then they roared, "What are you waiting for?!"
