"Dad, the people from the Dark Shadow Sect were already at odds with Chen Jie. This situation is quite normal!" Lin Shuang explained.
"It might be normal for him, but it's not normal for us!"
Tang Yun complained, "We are law-abiding citizens. If Chen Jie offends people like this and it implicates us, what happens if our family is in danger?"
Lin Shuang looked embarrassed.
She didn't feel anything was wrong, but her parents saw it as a serious matter.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Chen Jie smiled slightly, "Uncle and Aunt, you don't need to worry. In fact, I've been wanting to wipe out the Dark Shadow Sect for a long time. Now that I've captured their high-ranking members, I can strike at their core. From today onwards, the Dark Shadow Sect will cease to exist."
"Heh heh..."
Yingzi sneered.
Chen Jie looked at Yingzi, "Now, tell me where your headquarters are."
"I can take you there directly. Do you dare to go?" Yingzi scoffed.
"What is there to fear?" Chen Jie replied.
"Alright, let's go now." Yingzi said.
"Sounds good, let's go!" Chen Jie grabbed Yingzi by the neck and said to Lin Shuang, "You guys do what you need to do. Don't mind me."
"Chen Jie, no! This is too risky! We should at least plan!" Lin Shuang worried.
"Don't worry, I have it all under control!" Chen Jie smiled.
"Then, why don't I go with you?" Lin Shuang offered.
"No need, I can go alone."
"Chen Jie, well done! You have a lot of courage. But don't worry, with me accompanying you, your current strength is enough to retreat safely even if you can't destroy the Dark Shadow Sect!" Fang Shaohua said to Chen Jie.
Lin Shuang wanted to say more, but Tang Yun stopped her, "Silly girl, what are you rushing for? Since Chen Jie is doing this, it means he has the strength. Wouldn't you be a burden if you followed him?"
She didn't want her daughter to go on such a dangerous mission.
"Then we'll be going now."
Chen Jie said.
Then, he took Yingzi and drove away.
Yingzi inwardly sneered.
He liked arrogant men like Chen Jie.
In fact, they had long wanted to lure Chen Jie to their headquarters to eliminate him in one go.
However, they knew it wouldn't be easy to lure Chen Jie there, so they hadn't implemented the plan.
Now that Chen Jie was coming to take revenge, wasn't this exactly what Yingzi wanted?
That's why he readily agreed to lead Chen Jie there.
To Chen Jie's surprise, the headquarters of the Dark Shadow Sect was located in a desolate mountain not far from the capital.
"After I've destroyed the Dark Shadow Sect, I might visit Li Ziling in the capital. I wonder how she's doing now," Chen Jie mused.
The vehicle slowly stopped at the foot of the mountain. Chen Jie motioned for Yingzi to follow him, and they started walking up the mountain.
This desolate mountain wasn't very large, and to the rear, it bordered the sea on the edge of Great Xia.
From here, one could leave Great Xia by boat.
Before long, Chen Jie saw a luxurious palace standing majestically on the mountainside, grand and imposing.
"The Dark Shadow Sect is so mysterious, yet its headquarters is so ostentatious. Aren't you afraid of being exposed to the public eye?" Chen Jie asked Yingzi.
Yingzi scoffed, "You know nothing about the strength of our Dark Shadow Sect. This entire mountain is private property. Who dares to intrude without permission?"
"Moreover, we naturally have our own methods of concealment!"
"I just hope you're not deceiving me," Chen Jie said.
"Deceive you? What's the point? To be honest with you, it's impossible for you to destroy our Dark Shadow Sect headquarters alone!"
"Chen Jie, Chen Jie, you are truly audacious. Do you think you can disregard the Dark Shadow Sect just because you killed a few of our experts? Not only did you not seek any help, but you dared to come alone to your death. Heh heh..."
Chen Jie glanced at him, without replying, he asked, "There's no one guarding the outside. If someone were to intrude, how would you defend against them?"
"You're not entirely foolish!"
Yingzi said, "Outside, there are basic surveillance cameras everywhere. As soon as someone appears, they will be seen quickly."
"Furthermore, we've hired a security company to monitor the area. Once someone appears, our higher-ups will be notified."
"Of course, ordinary surveillance can only deter those who are not prepared. If top experts disguise themselves in advance, they can evade surveillance!"
"But it's still incredibly difficult to infiltrate without being detected!"
Chen Jie asked, "Why?"
"Because the outer perimeter of our headquarters is populated entirely by experts at the Innate level. As soon as someone appears, they will be sensed!"
"They are a natural barrier! Even if you can get past them, inside, there are even more powerful experts with even more formidable sensing abilities! Any disturbance will alert them!"
"Chen Jie, you don't intend to break in and assassinate us, do you?" Yingzi asked exaggeratedly, as if he had just remembered something.
"That's right!"
Even though Chen Jie was now at the Foundation Establishment stage, he wouldn't be too arrogant to face all the experts of the Dark Shadow Sect alone.
Doing so would put immense pressure on Chen Jie.
And there was a certain risk involved.
Even if Chen Jie felt there were no issues, he didn't want to be too ostentatious.
"I see, so it's all passive defense!" Chen Jie nodded.
"This information is very useful to me. After I destroy the Dark Shadow Sect, you can consider working for me."
"I've told you about the strength of the Dark Shadow Sect, and you still want to destroy them? Aren't you going to flee?" Yingzi said incredulously.
"As an assassin, your skills are indeed outstanding. However, today I will show you what a true assassin is!"
Chen Jie's gaze turned cold. He suddenly took out a talisman from his waist and then made a gesture above it.
"Invisibility!"
Chen Jie extended his hand, and the talisman attached itself directly to Yingzi's back.
Immediately, Yingzi's body became transparent before Chen Jie's eyes, until he completely disappeared.
"Invisibility spell!"
Chen Jie let out a low shout, and his own body also vanished.
At the Foundation Establishment stage, one could already perform many practical minor spells.
Invisibility was one of them.
The invisibility spell didn't make one's body completely disappear, but rather made them invisible to others, which was similar in effect to Yingzi's shadow clones.
However, the invisibility spell was less effective against experts with strong perception.
"What's going on? I feel like we've become different!" Yingzi said in surprise.
Having been affected by Chen Jie's invisibility talisman, he could see Chen Jie's body.
"Let's go up the mountain!"
Chen Jie said.
"What do you mean? Are you going to take me with you for the assassination? I won't help you!"
Yingzi said, then seemed to notice something and asked incredulously, "You, what are you doing? Are you planning to walk in through the front gate brazenly?"
