Chapter 987: Spider

“Report it.”
“This mission was truly humiliating. But with such a formidable expert appearing in the Central Plains, if we don’t report it to the boss right away, our situation will only get worse.”
On the deck of the ship at sea, Yan Lang, Jin Luosha, and Xue Yu Dao, all with grim expressions, finally made a difficult decision.
After more than two months of infiltration in the Central Plains, consuming a great deal of manpower and resources, their excellent plan to eliminate Bai Xiaosheng’s disciple, “Wind Bell,” had completely failed. What upset them the most was that even their plan to return home with some money also fell through.
“What did the boss say?”
A homing pigeon returned to Yan Lang after crossing the ocean, carrying details of the mission. Xue Yu Dao and Jin Luosha eagerly approached, staring at Yan Lang’s face, which seemed painted in colors, and pressed for an answer.
“…”
“I swear, if the boss punishes me this time, I’ll make that kid pay when I get the chance to return to the Central Plains.”
Jin Luosha gritted his teeth, ready to face the boss’s anger.
“This…”
Yan Lang’s expression changed repeatedly, his mood shifting unpredictably.
“What’s wrong? Trying to drive us crazy?” Xue Yu Dao couldn’t stand it any longer and snatched the note. “Let me take a look.”
Yan Lang had a strange expression but surprisingly didn’t stop Xue Yu Dao from taking the note. He took a deep breath, staring into the depths of the sea.
“…”
To Jin Luosha’s surprise, after Xue Yu Dao took the note, he also stared at it repeatedly as if possessed, remaining silent for a long time. Jin Luosha, too, gave up speaking and snatched the note from Xue Yu Dao’s hands…
It read:
“Received!”
“What does this mean, boss?”
Jin Luosha stared at it stiffly for a long time before slowly lifting his head in confusion.
There was no expected fury or mockery on the note, nor any blame. What should have been an extremely important mission seemed as trivial as encountering an ordinary woman on the street.
“Yan Lang.”
Jin Luosha turned to their leader. “You’re smart. Guess what the boss’s mood is after sending this reply. I feel so uneasy.”
“I’m not sure either. Let me ask ‘Spider’ first.”
Yan Lang also looked puzzled and at a loss. After pondering for a while, he made a decision and sent another message via homing pigeon.
Spider was closer to the boss, more talkable, and could somewhat guess the boss’s thoughts…
Soon, they received news.

It turned out that the “boss” had already learned of the failure of the Wild Wolves Team’s mission before they reported it and was closely monitoring everything happening in the Central Plains.
“…” The three of them were immediately embarrassed.
“You three idiots! The official website has been exposing your affairs for ages before you thought to report! Why not wait a little longer?”
“…Is the boss very angry?” Yanlang asked cautiously.
“Nonsense! A mission that was supposed to succeed failed because of you old hands. The boss’s year-long plan was ruined, and you still didn’t report in time. Do you think the boss would be happy?”
“…” Yanlang and the others paled.
“Don’t worry. Several major incidents have occurred in the Central Plains, all caused by your rival ‘Happy’. The boss already knows this guy’s strength. He probably isn’t focusing on you now, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
“Huh?”
Yanlang felt a surge of surprise, only to change expression again:
“Incidents caused by Happy?”
“Mm, you know Yipin Hall, right?”
“Of course. It’s said they’re planning to secretly cooperate with us to take down Bai Xiaosheng and Xifeng Tower and become new allies of the most powerful organization in the Central Plains… The fact that they’ve been able to operate undercover there for over a month proves the leader of Yipin Hall does have some ability and courage.” Yanlang replied, “Why is Yipin Hall suddenly mentioned?”
“One of Yipin Hall’s branches has just been destroyed!”
A shocking news came through!
“…”
Yanlang and the others were shocked.
Although they knew the power structures in the Central Plains were complex and Yipin Hall wasn’t the strongest organization there, it was undoubtedly the most powerful after Xifeng Tower, with strength barely inferior to Xifeng Tower… Even Xifeng Tower wouldn’t dare to easily attack Yipin Hall.
Who would dare to attack Yipin Hall in the Central Plains?
“Could it be related to Happy?”
Yanlang connected this with the clues Spider had mentioned earlier and was shocked again.
“That’s right, it was him!” Spider replied, “This guy not only single-handedly destroyed a very important branch of Yipin Hall but also killed over three thousand of Yipin Hall’s experts. With such strength, even our Wild Wolves Organization couldn’t accomplish that with more than ten people!”
“…This guy is that strong?” Yanlang swallowed hard.
Jin Luosha was already ready to retract the curse he had cast earlier.
Destroying a branch might not be difficult, but killing thousands of people single-handedly—even with endless medicinal pills—might not be possible.
They were well aware of the difficulty!
No wonder it caught the boss’s attention!

“That’s one thing. After we pulled out all the information about Happy, the boss discovered many things…”
“Hm?”
“These things were not supposed to be told to you, but it seems they’re no longer a secret now…” Spider replied, “This kid not only masters three supreme skills—《Yijin Jing》, 《Zhenlong Shishi》, and 《Lingbo Weibu》—but he can even compete with peak Mythical Realm warriors!”
“What!!!”
The three Yanlang members were stunned once again.
“It was the Prophet who saw it with that thing,” Spider dropped a bombshell. “As you know, although many have challenged Mythical Realm NPCs, the dignity of peak warriors remains unshaken! Aside from the boss, few can confront a peak Mythical Realm warrior alone!”
“That’s right.”
“But before destroying the Tianmo Branch Temple, Happy fought against a very famous peak Mythical Realm warrior from the Central Plains for half an hour, all by himself, and even scared away that warrior’s Yin Queen!”
“The Yin Queen!”
The three Yanlang members were speechless.
As natives of the Central Plains, they were well aware of the Yin Queen’s strength.
“So, there really is a very powerful newcomer in the Central Plains?”
“What concerns the boss the most is that this person happened to uncover your plan and even connected with Bai Xiaosheng, the most stubborn enemy of the Central Plains.”
“…Sigh.”
The three Yanlang members finally realized the severity of the situation.
A powerful enemy capable of threatening the Wild Wolf Organization had allied with their most stubborn enemy. It seemed the Central Plains had another top expert who could rival the Wild Wolf Organization’s masters!
Their plan to infiltrate and control the Central Plains would likely face even greater obstacles!
“What does the boss plan to do?”
“Xian’er and Taohong have recently mastered the ‘Yijian Art’ of the Yijian School to a high level. Together, they can easily kill ordinary Mythical Realm warriors. The boss has ordered them to go to the Central Plains to carry out a secret mission…”
“A secret mission?”
“That’s not appropriate, right? Although Xian’er and Taohong are strong, they’re in an unfamiliar place in the Central Plains and might easily become targets of Bai Xiaosheng.”
“They’re not familiar there, but aren’t you three familiar? The boss told me to tell you three: now, immediately, go back to the Central Plains. You don’t need to come back here—return to the Central Plains to assist Xian’er and Taohong… If this mission fails again, the boss will punish you by sending you to Africa to catch ‘Death-Eating Rats’.”
“…Spider.”
“I’m listening.”

“You’ve said so much before; actually, you’re just telling us three about the mission environment and tasks for this trip, right?”
“Hmm, as expected of Yanlang. The boss said you must have a way to get Jin Luosha and Xueyu Dao to obediently return to the Central Plains. Well, that’s the end of this call. If you have any more questions, I won’t answer them for free—ten million per question, or you can go straight to the boss.”
“…Damn those spiders.”
Yanlang crumpled the note in his hand and glared furiously into the depths of the sea.
Before long, a small boat was lowered from the ship and dropped into the water.
Three men with grim expressions set sail back to the Central Plains.
…
With the Destruction of the Heavenly Demon Temple, some were happy while others were sad.
Just moments ago, the Hunter Family was being heavily guarded by members of the Blood Alliance and the Five Poisons Sect, not daring to step outside the city gates even slightly.
But once news spread that the Destruction of the Heavenly Demon Temple had been accomplished by Kai Xin alone, the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect and the Blood Alliance members vanished without a trace.
Yu Long and the others from the Hunter Family strutted out of the city, wandered around for a while, and finally encountered no more harassment from the Blood Alliance or the Five Poisons Sect.
“Damn it.”
“How boring.”
“I thought we’d run into some Blood Alliance members.” Da Pang and Xiao Pang puffed out their bellies, turned their necks around, and said in disappointment, “Now that we have the ‘Blood of the Fire Qilin,’ I wish the Blood Alliance and the Five Poisons Sect would kill more people.”
“They don’t give us a chance.”
Many martial artists in the vicinity heard their conversation, their faces twitching as they didn’t know what to say.
There was nothing they could do.
Now, the Hunter Family had become famous!
The Destruction of the Heavenly Demon Temple was due to Yu Long’s message, which caused irreversible losses and shame to the First-Class Hall.
Although this wasn’t widely publicized outside, the members of the Hunter Family kept shouting about it!
Now, Yu Long and his group already had the Blood of the Fire Qilin sent by Kai Xin—a healing treasure that could increase internal energy by dozens of points and restore all internal injuries.
They all wished the Blood Alliance and the Five Poisons Sect would keep causing them trouble, so that Kai Xin could kill more people to vent his anger.
Of course, they didn’t know that ever since the news of the Destruction of the Heavenly Demon Temple spread, Meng Yun and Xue Yi had both ordered to stop targeting the Hunter Family.
Although they lost a lot of face, using the lives of these insignificant people from the Hunter Family to provoke Kai Xin, in exchange for the sacrifice of hundreds of First-Class Hall disciples, was clearly an unfair deal!
