Chapter 374 Intelligence

Yan Huang Fei Huo (Flying Sword) (Red): Blazing world's flame, heaven-burning fire, forged from the primal fire essence of the highest heavens, it is a pair with Jing Lei Zi Dian.

Jing Lei Zi Dian, Yan Huang Fei Huo (Collected): 2/2

Jie Huo (After Yan Huang Fei Huo hits a target, there is a 30% chance to inflict a burning status on the opponent for 15 seconds)

Fei Huo (When controlling Yan Huang Fei Huo as a sword, it can transform into a streak of flying fire to attack. Within a three-meter radius, all areas are within the splash damage range of the fire arc)

Jie Huo Shao Tian Jian Zhen (Yan Huang Fei Huo transforms into flames to set up a formation. Within the coverage area, fire attribute attack power is strengthened by 100%, and it absorbs lightning to continuously recover stamina and injuries. This sword formation is effective for both allies and enemies)

Lei Huo Jie Tian (Jing Lei Zi Dian and Yan Huang Fei Huo can set up a sword formation simultaneously. The effects of lightning and Jie Huo can stack and amplify each other by 15%)

Shuang Jian He Bing (When controlling Jing Lei Zi Dian and Yan Huang Fei Huo simultaneously, lightning and fire overlap, increasing power by 50%)

Yu Sui (Self-destructing Jing Lei Zi Dian and Yan Huang Fei Huo to unleash a world-shattering strike)

...

The effects of Yan Huang Fei Huo are very similar to Jing Lei Zi Dian.

However, Bai Ye thought about it carefully and felt that this was a redundant statement. These were originally a pair of swords, and their effects would naturally be similar. The key was the obvious additional amplification in power when used simultaneously.

When wielded individually, they appeared to be of Red quality, but in reality, they were only of Black quality. With both swords in hand, they truly became Red quality flying swords.

Bai Ye happily had the Steel Slime swallow the flying sword. The Steel Slime's quality upgrade was getting closer, only needing over a hundred thousand growth points.

At the same time, his King's Treasure collection gained a new item.

"Pururu, pururu, pururu..."

At this moment, Gao Ming's Den Den Mushi rang.

Bai Ye casually picked it up and said with a smile, "I've received the items."

Gao Ming smiled and replied, "That's good."

Bai Ye commented, "You gave the items so readily, it seems the matter went smoothly."

Gao Ming said, "It's not completely finished yet. There are quite a few restricted zones, and we want to make some progress in that area, so we are conducting more thorough explorations. However, the information you provided was completely accurate, so we naturally had no reason to withhold the items."

Bai Ye asked, "So, the reason you're contacting me is for more intelligence?"

Gao Ming honestly replied, "It would be best if you had more, but we don't need it urgently for now. We need at least a month to complete all the restricted zones of the black-clothed individuals and explore some hidden missions. Moreover, the items produced in the dangerous areas there are quite good."

Bai Ye inquired, "Then what is the reason for contacting me?"

Gao Ming stated, "It's about the information you asked me to investigate."

"Oh?" Bai Ye asked, "Liu Shiyue?"

Gao Ming nodded, "Liu Shiyue is the vice-captain of the Hidden Dragon Society. However, his influence is very significant. The current captain of the Hidden Dragon Society is named Nan Liang, but Nan Liang, Liu Shiyue, and another vice-captain named Jin Jinse are on equal footing."

Bai Ye remarked, "This structure is quite interesting. What's the reason?"

Gao Ming asked, "Do you know the origin of the Hidden Dragon Society?"

Bai Ye replied, "I know a little. They almost all come from a world with supernatural abilities, a world that is inherently very powerful. The Hidden Dragon Society was initially established by the chosen ones from that world after they successfully left the world battlefield."

"The original intention was naturally to help the chosen ones from that world better adapt to the world battlefield. If they could gather people from the very beginning, they could establish an advantage, control restricted zones, hunt others, and obtain more resources."

Gao Ming continued, "Yes, and Liu Shiyue's father is a backbone of the Hidden Dragon Society, not a backbone within the world battlefield, but outside of it. His father lived to the end twenty years ago and successfully left the world battlefield."

Bai Ye suddenly realized, "No wonder a vice-captain can be on equal footing with the captain. Is the other one also in a similar situation?"

Gao Ming replied, "Jin Jinse is even more so. There are three founders of the Hidden Dragon Society, and one of them is her grandfather."

Bai Ye couldn't help but grin. What was this? Second generation, third generation?

However, gaining power through background might not equate to strength...

In any case, Bai Ye had never heard of these two people in his previous life. As for the captain Nan Liang, Bai Ye had some impression; he was indeed the first captain of the Hidden Dragon Society, although the position was later changed.

Gao Ming went on, "Liu Shiyue was previously in the beast-taming area, leading people to capture sea beasts."

Bai Ye asked, "Sea beasts?"

Gao Ming nodded, "Yes, they seem to be acquiring rideable sea beasts, possibly for venturing out to sea. The specific details are still unclear."

Bai Ye inquired, "Are they still in the beast-taming area now?"

Gao Ming replied, "That's also unclear. After all, he's a vice-captain, not someone easily tracked. We can only monitor the movements of the Hidden Dragon Society members to infer their actions. As far as we can tell, they should have already acquired enough sea beasts."

Bai Ye nodded and said, "Help me keep an eye on him. I need to know Liu Shiyue's whereabouts and where he has gone."

Gao Ming cautiously probed, "Bai Ye, what is the reason you are keeping an eye on Liu Shiyue?"

Bai Ye did not conceal it and directly stated, "He must die."

There was nothing to hide about this matter.

Gao Ming would definitely not collude with the Hidden Dragon Society. The Evil Spirit Group was formed by using the Hidden Dragon Society as a pretext.

The future was uncertain, but as of now, since the Evil Spirit Group had raised the banner of opposing the Hidden Dragon Society, they were bound to stand on opposite sides. Only then could the Evil Spirit Group have the justification of "righteousness."

Therefore, Bai Ye was not afraid to speak his mind.

Moreover, Bai Ye knew very well that Gao Ming was waiting for this answer.

With this answer, Gao Ming could wholeheartedly help him, as Gao Ming, being a core member of the Evil Spirit Group, should be happy to see Liu Shiyue die.

As for why?

That was not important.

Gao Ming's tone carried a hint of excitement. He had indeed been waiting for this answer. Smiling, he said, "Alright, I will personally oversee this matter. I'll contact you again when there's news."

Bai Ye nodded and said, "Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

Bai Ye hung up the Den Den Mushi. He was not particularly anxious about Liu Shiyue's matter.

Because he was certain to die, at his own hands.

Bai Ye had received benefits and had also made a promise to Jin Sha.

In a way, Bai Ye considered himself a person of his word.

As Bai Ye pondered, he stepped across the boundary of the area before him.

Passing through the surging light screen, Bai Ye immediately smelled the scent of gunpowder.

What appeared before Bai Ye was a dilapidated city. Skyscrapers stood tall, but they had been abandoned for a long time, giving off a sense of utter ruin everywhere. On the empty streets, wrecked cars lay scattered haphazardly.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and couldn't help but spread his arms.

A familiar scent!
