Chapter 171: After modification: Chapter 170 Evolved (2nd update, please subscribe) Bai Ziyue felt at ease and returned to his room to resume drawing talismans. One, two, three... After drawing ten talismans, Bai Ziyue finally felt he could no longer continue. Not only was his spiritual power depleted, but even the spiritual power in his body was nearly exhausted, causing bursts of weakness, and his face paled slightly. Only then did Bai Ziyue stop drawing talismans, light the Gathering Spirit Dharma Incense, and sit in meditation to recover. ... In a private room of a tavern, several martial artists faced each other sitting. One of them, with gray hair and a forehead full of wrinkles, appeared old. He was the Nine Seals Sect Elder Kunn. The other two seemed relatively younger, but their eyes flashed with sharpness, indicating they were not simple figures. The master of the Nine Seals Sect hall, Yu Yong, and the vice-master, Wu Hua Bin, were both third-class experts. Especially Yu Yong, whose strength had reached second-class, renowned in Jianghu as the invincible brave heart. "Just got the news; the higher-ups are not satisfied with our progress and have already sent someone to interfere. This time, the deaths of two prominent members of the Sunburst Gang were likely done by the higher-ups. Therefore, our original plan needs to be advanced." Yu Yong spoke, glancing at the other two. Kunn Wuyue and Wu Hua Bin nodded simultaneously, showing a listening expression. "Elder Kunn, follow the previous plan to eliminate the Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden and Cyan Mountain Iron Mine belonging to the Sunburst Gang. As for Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden, it shouldn’t be difficult; just let Zhang Yong handle it directly. Regarding Cyan Mountain Iron Mine, there’s only Lu Tianyang." Yu Yong looked at Wu Hua Bin and said, "Wu hall master, your task will be heavier. The most important industry of the Sunburst Gang is the Wujiang Pier. I don’t want you to completely disrupt Wujiang Pier’s operations, but at least cause chaos there for some time." "Rest assured, it’s not difficult." Wu Hua Bin said confidently. "I will notify Zhang Yong; it’s time for him to reveal his true self after being undercover in the Sunburst Gang for more than ten years. As for Lu Tianyang, I also want to meet him." Kunn Wuyue’s face showed a cold expression. "And you, hall master Yu..." Wu Hua Bin couldn’t help but ask. "Me? Naturally, I need to restrain some of the Sunburst Gang’s forces." Yu Yong smiled slightly and whispered, "I heard there’s a demon on Gutong Mountain?" ... "Young master, come and see, what’s wrong with Master Hei?" In the morning, Bai Ziyue had just risen when there was a sudden, intense knocking at the door. "What’s going on?" Bai Ziyue opened the door and saw the maid Little Tao, asking casually. "Master Hei started acting strange last night, but Little Ju and I didn’t pay much attention, thinking it was normal mischief. But this morning, the place where Master Hei stayed looks like it was plowed over, very frightening." Little Tao said in a panic. "Master Hei?" Bai Ziyue was puzzled, then noticed the inappropriate name. "Master Hei is the name we gave to the little dog." Little Tao stuck out her tongue, nervously. "Let’s go and see." Bai Ziyue didn’t mind and quickly went to the pond in the front yard. The ground was churned, and a fake mountain had collapsed, with stones rolling down, making the ground a mess. Within the fake mountain, the little dog was still vigorously digging the ground. A stone weighing over a hundred pounds was being flipped over by him, and soon with a loud bang, it rolled into the pond. Several golden carp were stunned by the wave caused by the falling stone, flipping their bellies, weakly opening their mouths. "No problem, it’s undergoing bloodline evolution." Bai Ziyue looked and immediately judged the little dog’s condition as bloodline evolution, transforming from a normal animal into an exotic beast. He didn’t expect the little dog to evolve at this time. But thinking about how it had been nourished by snake demon flesh since it was two or three months old, with various meats and spirit dye stone supplements, evolving into an exotic beast seemed quite ordinary. "Bloodline evolution? So Master Hei has become an exotic beast?" Little Tao’s face turned pale, and she shrank back. Exotic beasts are terrifying to ordinary people, and the incidents of exotic beasts injuring people in Wujiang County are heard almost periodically. "Don’t worry, it won’t cause trouble." Bai Ziyue waved his hand, telling Little Tao not to worry, while he carefully observed. He was curious about the evolution of a beast into an exotic beast. An hour later, the little dog finally stopped. At this moment, its body was clearly much larger than before. It could have been called a small dog before, but now it was large enough to be considered a big dog, seeming rather majestic. Perhaps the evolution had drained it of too much energy, making its current aura extremely weak. With each breath, the exhaled air sounded long and drawn out. Layers of blood grime flowed over its body, which in the blink of an eye evaporated into scabs due to the astonishing heat emanating from it, making it look even more bedraggled. After a while, the little dog finally regained its energy and struggled to get up. Seeing Bai Ziyue, it raised its dog face arrogantly, seeming somewhat proud. The surging strength made it clearly feel its own power, and its strong body made it feel inflated with arrogance. It began howling, and the look in its eyes towards Bai Ziyue turned slightly disdainful. It suddenly felt a bit eager, wanting to have a match with Bai Ziyue. Swaying slightly, the little dog walked over, then tilted its dog face and slanted its eyes at him. The mocking gaze was full of challenge. Bai Ziyue’s face twitched, and he kicked out like lightning, "Go to the pond and clear your head." Awoooo. The little dog was directly kicked into the air and then fell heavily into the pond. ... A day later, Bai Ziyue walked out of his house frowning. Early in the morning, he had received a dispatch order. This order was issued directly by the Internal Affairs Hall, temporarily recruiting him into a small team to undertake a mission. However, he was not clear about the specifics of the mission. Walking out of his house, Bai Ziyue went straight ahead, quickly passed the Sunburst Gang Headquarters, and then walked into a store named Old Zhang’s Tavern. In the hall, he soon saw two or three Sunburst Gang disciples dressed in ordinary clothes. "Wait for a while, there are more people coming." A middle-aged Martial Artist glanced at Bai Ziyue and said indifferently, then continued to wait. Bai Ziyue did not speak either, found a chair, and sat down. After a while, several more people arrived at Old Zhang’s Tavern. He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but Bai Ziyue always felt that the gaze of the two people who came later held some unusual emotions when they looked at him. Thinking of the mystery of this mission, he remained expressionless, yet his heart became more cautious. "Almost everyone’s here, Old Zhang, close the door." The middle-aged man who spoke before glanced at everyone and called out. Soon, a limping man with two ferocious knife scars on his face came out from the back of the tavern, walked to the door, and closed it. "Old Zhang is a veteran within the gang. Due to injuries, he retired from Jianghu and opened this tavern with the gang’s help. If you wish, you can come here for a drink more often. Old Zhang’s gourd wine is quite good." The middle-aged man said, promoting the tavern. The others agreed, nodding repeatedly. Bai Ziyue watched coldly and did not speak. When these Martial Artists arrived before, he had already observed with his spiritual eye technique and found that among the seven of them, the middle-aged man’s strength was the highest, having reached the Inner Power Realm. As for the others, they had all reached the Inner Cultivation Level, except for him, appearing to be the weakest with only the Peak of External Forging. The ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger. "Alright, since everyone is here, I’ll say a few words. You are all disciples temporarily drafted from various halls within the gang, and some of you may not know me. Let me introduce myself. I am Wang Peng, a Guardian of the Foreign Affairs Hall under Master Gong. You can call me Old Wang or Leader Wang." Wang Peng’s face then turned serious as he said, "Everyone knows about the conflict between our Sunburst Gang and the Nine Seals Sect. It has become quite evident. Our people have also received information that the Nine Seals Sect has been very active lately, clearly preparing some schemes, making the atmosphere within our gang tense as well. However, regardless of what they are planning, the higher-ups have decided not to wait any longer. Hence, this operation." With that, Wang Peng’s gaze sharpened as he scrutinized everyone, making it hard for them to meet his eyes. Bai Ziyue remained calm on the surface, but now felt somewhat enlightened. Earlier, he noted that including himself, there were eight people in total, all dressed differently—some in common clothes, others in the uniform of Inner Sect Disciples, showing that many were like him, temporarily recruited. This gave him some relief, knowing that even if someone intended to harm him, it would be incidental. The mission was the real key. After ensuring that no one showed clear signs of panic, Wang Peng softened his tone and said, "To be safe, I won’t reveal the mission objective yet. We will leave the city first, and once outside, you must all follow my orders. If anyone disobeys, don’t blame me for being ruthless." "Don’t worry, Guardian Wang. We are all seasoned in Jianghu and won’t make any mistakes." Someone patted his chest confidently. "Hmph, I hope so." With that, Wang Peng said in a low voice, "Move out!" Turning around, he did not exit through the tavern door but headed to the tavern’s backyard.
