Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Chapter 78: Chapter 78 – Solo Mission!

"I can't believe a single person could control and change the atmosphere of such a huge area with just Qi alone." Jack commented, his voice muffled. "They are crazy. This is a level of a biochemical weapon already. I wonder if we will be able to do it too if we learn Qi."

"I am also interested. Xiao Ah-Tian's sword technique is pretty strange. He only swings it once but there are three shadows attacking at the same time. It's like a three-on-one battle. The technique is too hard to grasp." Shui added.

"Heh, that's not surprising. You are a sword maniac. Of course you will be the one who gets excited at learning those martial artists Qi."

Their lighthearted conversation didn't fit this kind of situation at all.

No surprise there. Over the years since they joined Hallowed Insects, they had done plenty of dangerous missions that faced unknown enemies and terrains. One time, a poison cloud suddenly filled the camp and they were forced to survive for three days in a swamp filled with venomous snakes and insects.

And it was just one of many experiences.

As they talked, Leo noticed that the ground suddenly changed.

The brown soil turned black and sticky. It was like tar and had a weird smell.

"Are we getting close?"

"Yes, we are near the place. The Qi is very dense. Be prepared, everyone." Zhen warned.

"I can detect many people in the vicinity." Jack, whose bodysuit covered his whole head like a helmet, reported.

His equipment was a specialized tool for surveillance.

"There are three hundred people, no, three hundred and seventy-eight. It's not a small group. In the North, another group is approaching. There are around a hundred people. Just a kilometer on our right, and there are a few individuals scattered around. It seems the group from the North detected us, Leader."

"They must've detected me." Zhen said, narrowing his eyes. "I can't hide my Qi signature completely in this situation while your group has no Qi at all, so these martial artists won't be able to detect you unless they seek for a life essence. I think it's better if I split up for now. I trust you to recover the epigraph for me. Let's meet again after a few days."

"Let's do that. Wait for us in the camp from before. One of our tents is still there."

"Good. I will leave the rest to you, Mr. Leo."

The woman was a professional dominatrix and her skill was the best. She could satisfy anyone and bring them the most extreme pleasure.

Anya wasn't here to watch the scene, though. She was here to finish her job, finding the last traitor of the Tang Clan.

In the last few days, she managed to gather information and evidence of the traitors and informed Tang Jiaofu, Tang Clan's patriarch. When investigating them, she found out that there was a place where they gathered every month, a week before the full month, to discuss their plan.

She was here to uncover the truth.

After checking a few rooms, Anya finally found the one she was looking for. It was a meeting room with a bunch of old men wearing masks and a young man. That young man strangely sat on the revered seat and the others looked at him with reverence.

"Tang Jiaofu is suspicious of us since the revered disciple of Supreme Evil got defeated by those riff raff mercenaries. He hired a few private investigators and they're on our tail. We have to move the plan faster."

"Fortunately, they haven't found us yet. We managed to steer them away."

"That's good. We have to prepare for the next stage. Supreme Evil has been dormant for a while, but his return is imminent. We have to be ready when he returns. We have to find the secret technique to summon him, no matter what. Our master will bring back the glory of Murim."

The young man spoke with eloquent words, but his gaze was filled with greed. He couldn't hide his true nature as the follower of Supreme Evil, someone who had learned the dark and cruel martial art methods. The darkness in his heart couldn't be hidden from Anya's eyes.

'So it's him. The one who has been pulling the strings behind the Tang Clan.'

She immediately activated the recording function in her smart lens and captured the meeting. She also scanned their bodies, getting the data to send to her Leader later.

Once she finished, Anya quickly left the building. She couldn't stay long or her presence would be detected. She knew that those martial artists had a strange way to detect her. And their methods were different to each other, so one method might not work for the others.

Still, when she escaped from the building, she found something interesting. She stopped by one of the rooms and looked at the shelves filled with toys. Adult toys.

Her eyes widened and her cheeks turned red. She quickly looked away and left the building with a mischievous grin.

When she disappeared, one of the items displayed on the shelf was gone.

The staff would try to find it, but the item would never be found.
