Chapter 426: The Blood Fiend Army

“Mr. Blade, the master who repaired the teleportation array has just sent word,” said a scout, bowing slightly toward Ye Feng and the chubby city lord. “He said there is indeed a connection between teleportation arrays. If one array on the same route is destroyed, all arrays along that route usually become temporarily disabled due to spatial instability. But since teleportation arrays have self-repair capabilities, the space will gradually stabilize on its own—this situation usually lasts three to five days.”
“I see,” Ye Feng said, feeling relieved after hearing the scout’s explanation, though he was still anxious. “It’s good if it can be repaired quickly.”
Just then, another scout entered the council hall.
“How is it?” the chubby city lord asked the scout.
“The teleportation array is now functional again,” the scout replied.
“So fast?” The chubby city lord was slightly surprised. He had thought he could take this opportunity to get closer to Ye Feng. But now, less than a cup of tea had passed since Ye Feng arrived, and the array was already fixed. Disappointment flashed across his slightly oily face.
“Since that’s the case, I won’t keep you any longer,” Ye Feng said, standing up and nodding slightly at the chubby city lord. “Goodbye!”
“Mr. Blade, are you leaving so soon?” the chubby city lord tried to hold him back.
“Hmm, I have some urgent matters to attend to,” Ye Feng nodded. “If I have the chance again, I’ll visit you, City Lord.”
After some polite exchanges, Ye Feng finally managed to leave.
Once he stepped onto the teleportation array, the scene around him changed instantly.
“Is this Blood Fiend City?” Ye Feng looked around and soon saw city walls made of red soil. The entire city exuded a murderous atmosphere.
Teleportation arrays were usually located in the suburbs, not inside the city, as placing them inside would cause traffic jams around them every day.
Ye Feng entered the city properly. Fortunately, nothing problematic happened this time.
“If Brother Long and the others have all successfully transferred here, they must still be in this city waiting for me,” Ye Feng thought. It had only been three days, so Brother Long and the others surely wouldn’t have gone to another city—waiting patiently for his arrival was the wisest move.
He found an inn to stay at and listened in on all the conversations around him, hoping to uncover some useful information.
After a while, a conversation at one of the tables finally yielded results for him.

“Dude, why do you look so gloomy?” one young man said to another who was about the same age.
“I lost the love token my wife gave me on the way here.”
“You mean that pretty jade piece?”
“That’s right. How am I supposed to explain this when I get home…” The young man who lost the jade was filled with worry.
“Ask the Blood Fiend Legion to help you find it. It’s just a jade piece, so they won’t charge too much.”
“Does the Blood Fiend Legion handle things like this too?” the young man was surprised.
“Heh, those guys will take any job as long as there’s money involved…”
“Blood Fiend Legion?” Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly. “If I don’t want to reveal my identity, asking them to help find someone should be the fastest way.”
He called over the waiter and asked about the Blood Fiend Legion.
“Where is the headquarters of the Blood Fiend Legion?” Although Ye Feng’s mental power could cover the entire city in an instant, he wasn’t aware of any distinctive features of their members.
“Are you planning to issue a task, sir?” The waiter was very eager, as this customer was extremely generous—just the tip he received made him see this man as his savior.
“Mm.” Ye Feng nodded.
“Their headquarters is on Soul Street in the city center. There’s a red-and-white building there with a small square in front of it—that’s where it is.” The waiter explained in great detail.
“Okay, thanks!” Ye Feng tossed a top-quality magic crystal before disappearing.
In front of the red-and-white building indeed was a small square about the size of a basketball court. A few people were standing there, chatting happily and occasionally laughing.
Ye Feng headed straight inside the building.
Not far inside the entrance was a counter similar to a bar. A tall woman smiled at Ye Feng. “Sir, do you need any help?”
“I want to issue a task!”
“What type of task?” The tall woman seemed accustomed to this and asked skillfully.
“Finding someone!” Ye Feng’s answer was simple.
“Okay. Please tell us the appearance of the person you’re looking for, as well as their strength. Their strength is the basis for determining the fee.”
“Alright.” Ye Feng used his spiritual energy to conjure images of Long Tian and the others in midair.
This move made the tall woman raise her eyebrows slightly.

“Do you remember?” Ye Feng asked.
“I’ve already recorded it,” the woman nodded. “I just don’t know their strength levels…”
“Those three are at the demi-god realm, and this woman at the demi-god realm should have some injuries…” Ye Feng pointed at the portraits of Long Tian, Tie Niu, and Zhen Zhu…
“All of these people are extremely powerful warriors…” After describing Long Tian and the others, he began describing the characteristics of Long Yue and the rest.
“If we even find just one of them, inform me immediately!” Ye Feng set out the task requirements.
The tall woman’s expression was somewhat blank. Finding extremely powerful warriors was something she was used to handling. But the fact that he wanted to find three such warriors also at the demi-god realm surprised her about the identity of the person giving her this task.
“May I ask, are these people your friends or enemies?” the tall woman couldn’t help but ask.
“Friends, separated due to certain circumstances,” Ye Feng didn’t offer further explanation.
“Okay, we’ve recorded it. However, since the people you’re looking for are extremely powerful, we face great risks, so the cost for this task is high.”
“Hmm, let me hear it,” Ye Feng said calmly.
“Forty top-grade magic crystals!” the tall woman stated the price. “Moreover, if our scouts are in danger, we can terminate the task. Of course, in that case, we won’t charge you anything. But as a precaution, you must pay half of the fee upfront as a deposit. If the task fails, we’ll refund it to you, deducting only a symbolic 10% handling fee.”
“No problem!” Ye Feng agreed readily, pulling out twenty top-grade magic crystals and handing them over. “I hope to get news as soon as possible—the faster, the better!”
“That’s not a problem. Our efficiency is reliable. Once we have any information you need, we’ll inform you right away. If you’d like, you can give us your communicator number so we can send you the news directly through it. That’s the fastest way.” The tall woman looked at Ye Feng. “But it’s not mandatory. You can choose not to provide it; we’re just suggesting it.”
“My communicator number is…” Ye Feng gave the number without hesitation.
“Thank you for your trust…”

“I hope these forty top-quality magic crystals are worth the cost!” Ye Feng said before turning and leaving.
