New mission!

Great Wei Imperial Capital, Golden Wing Tower Headquarters, inside one of the rooms.

“Is it resolved? Is that what the intelligence really says?” A tired-looking middle-aged man asked excitedly upon hearing the news.

Unexpectedly seeing this important figure show interest in such a minor matter, the young man reporting the intelligence quickly provided a detailed account.

“Yes, sir, the Mount Song City branch completely lost communication over half a month ago. We suspected the Three Great Secret Cults took advantage of the branch’s emptiness to launch an attack!”

“However, about five days ago, we received a secret message from that branch again. The situation is under control. That survivor from Green Shade City, Chen Fan, the newly ranked 98th on the tianjiao gold list…”

“He single-handedly overturned the Three Great Secret Cults. All their cult leaders were slain on the spot…”

“Good, good, good. I didn’t expect him to already possess such powerful self-preservation abilities in the blink of an eye. The initial conjecture and experiment were indeed correct.”

Just then, a man in black suddenly appeared beside the young man and whispered something.

Seconds later, the young man’s expression jolted, and a faint halo of light seemed to emanate uncontrollably from his body, stirring up some dust.

Then the young man spoke in surprise: “I just received the latest intelligence! The stone statues at the main strongholds of the Three Great Secret Cults’ branches have once again shown signs of shattering!”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was clearly stunned, then said in disbelief: “Are you saying, the same degree of shattering as you reported last time regarding the White Lotus Sect in Hengshan City?”

“Yes!” The young man also said excitedly: “After receiving the intelligence, an initial group of scouts has already arrived in Mount Song City. It is absolutely true!”

“Now that I think about it, Hengshan City is actually not far from Mount Song City geographically!”

“Good! Excellent!” The middle-aged man clearly shook off his previous fatigue, his face uncharacteristically filled with pleasant surprise.

Although it was just a prediction, at this moment in Mount Song City, besides Chen Fan, no one else should possess such capability.

If those good-natured old folks from the Martial Arts Academy truly mastered the method to destroy the Evil God stone statues, that fat guy would have probably come to show off long ago.

“This time, you personally go to Mount Song City. Take charge and guide Chen Fan.”

“After the central forces are adjusted and dispatched, let Chen Fan serve as the Chief Agent of the Mount Song City branch, and then you will execute the secret mission!”

The young man was also stunned, not expecting his Chief Agent to value this young man named Chen Fan so highly!

However, thinking of the other party’s ability to destroy stone statues, the young man automatically rationalized the middle-aged man’s request!

“Why not just bring him directly to the Headquarters and develop him here!”

At this point, the middle-aged man’s face clearly darkened, and his gaze deepened.

“The Golden Wing Tower Headquarters… it will only be more dangerous than the outside, and… the knives from behind are impossible to guard against.”

...

...

Several days later!

The tianjiao gold list, which countless young Grandmasters had been staring at intently, actually showed a change!

That name, which had just recently made it onto the list, was now directly moved to 90th place. Everyone after 90th was shifted back one spot, instantly causing another stir.

When they used their network of connections to investigate and found out that the person was merely a Dark Envoy from a small branch…

Some were surprised, some were unconvinced, some believed there was something fishy, and some thought it must be a case of nepotism.

However, none of this concerned Chen Fan; he couldn’t even see what the gold list was!

At this moment, he had finished visiting Qiangwei, telling her to properly coordinate with the Headquarters staff while recovering from her injuries! Afterward, he left Lake View Village.

What Qiangwei said made Chen Fan ponder deeply!

They had indeed invited well-known Jianghu Grandmasters to assist, and there were even two Marrow Quenching Grandmasterss and five Viscera Tempering Grandmasters!

However, during the battle, they only managed to fight an uphill battle, and then they were bought off with heavy gold by the enemy. These mercenaries actually dared to outright fake their efforts!

Yes, they didn’t have the guts to directly defect. In this era, the Golden Wing Tower still reigned supreme, unless they didn’t want to survive in Great Wei anymore!

But faking it was acceptable! Two Marrow Quenching Grandmasterss were actually held up by one of the enemy’s cult leaders, and the three of them actually fought back and forth!

And the acting below was not so good. A small Protector resisted five Viscera Tempering Grandmasters; the six of them shouted the loudest, but their lethality was the smallest!

At that time, Qiangwei, who had spent a fortune, almost vomited blood from anger.

This was also one of the reasons why the Golden Wing Tower could not leverage its strength and was quickly breached!

This point caught Chen Fan’s attention!

The stance of mercenaries could be said to be no stance at all!

As long as the benefits were great enough, they could betray at any time.

Such a force was fine for fighting a winning battle, but if it was a defensive battle, these people would betray them in minutes.

“It seems that the strong individuals stationed in Lake View Village need to be carefully considered. It’s best not to have a mercenary relationship, otherwise, once they collude, it will bring disaster to the entire organization!”

The person taking charge must be trustworthy, at least of upright character, and have good talent. It doesn’t matter if their power isn’t strong in the short term; it’s a long-term development anyway. With their talent, and with sufficient resource supply, gold will always shine.

“Ding! Random task issued: Find a Prodigy with eight-star potential or above and take him as your disciple!”

Hey! This System is becoming more and more human-like.

Chen Fan also had an impression of what eight-star potential meant. Fortunately, he had the Eye of Discernment, otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to judge the other party’s potential value!

Upon returning to the Songshan City Martial Arts Academy, he casually used the Eye of Discernment with anticipation, and immediately a large amount of miscellaneous information popped up.

Chen Fan helplessly: “System, use simplified mode.”

“Name: Wang Dagang”

“Cultivation: Body Tempering Fifth Level”

“Talent: ★ ★ ★”

“Current State: Just broke up, mentality collapsed, wants to find a high-risk mission to seek death.”

Chen Fan patted this guy’s shoulder with a big hand: “Brother, don’t just look at the scenery from the foot of the mountain. When you reach a higher elevation, you can see the entire forest beneath your feet!”

Guy: ? ? ? ?

“Name: Huang Dachui”

“Cultivation: Martial Artist Peak”

“Talent: ★ ★ ★ ★”

“Current State: Found a rare fruit in the wild, overjoyed, preparing to offer it to his courtship target, Liu Ruyan.”

“Damn it, is she everywhere?!”

“Name: Lin Chan’er”

“Cultivation: Quenching Marrow Ninth Level Peak”

“Talent: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★”

“Bloodline: Primordial Golden Horned Ant Royal Bloodline”

“Current State: Hungry, came out to find something to eat, then will break through her cultivation Realm in one go!”

“Hmm? Junior Brother, you didn’t come home last night. Did you secretly go somewhere to eat something delicious?”

Chen Fan scratched his head, looking at his Senior Sister who had already walked up to him, feeling both amused and helpless!

If he took her as his disciple, wouldn’t that mess up their seniority?

Alas, searching in the Martial Arts Academy is still not very practical!

Suddenly, two figures flashed through Chen Fan’s mind!

“Never mind, no need to rush. Let’s simulate it first and see if that desperate future has changed after some crazy operations.”
