Chapter 171 First Clues Appear



Night Owl Headquarters.

Huo Ling's room was arranged not far from the Holy Son Temple.

Just as Huo Ling was meditating with his eyes closed, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

"Surprise! Little Lingling, this Holy Son has come to see you. Are you happy?"

Pei Feng played with the silk thread in his hand, leaning against the door.

Huo Ling was forced to interrupt his cultivation.

He opened his eyes, a fleeting look of displeasure and hatred passing through them, but it was all deeply hidden in his eyes.

"Happy."

Huo Ling answered expressionlessly.

"As long as you're happy. Pack your things and come out with me tomorrow."

Pei Feng had no intention of giving Huo Ling a chance to refuse.

Where are we going?

Huo Ling knew he couldn't refuse, so he didn't bother to say a word of no.

He lowered his eyes slightly, feeling utterly powerless about his situation.

"You don't need to know. Just come with me tomorrow." Pei Feng withdrew his gaze, turned and left, waving goodbye to Huo Ling as he went, "Your time is running out, so cultivate diligently~"

The door slammed shut by itself without any wind.

Huo Ling suppressed his anger and stared blankly at the blood crystal in his hand.

That day, Pei Feng was discussing matters with Kester when he happened to pass by and overheard a few words.

However, Huo Ling did not dare to linger and left on the spot.

So much so that Pei Feng seemed to think he hadn't heard anything.

But he heard it very clearly.

Mozvest, the calamity of national destruction.

Huo Ling didn't know why Night Owl wanted to destroy a small country.

But he knew that his bottom line prevented him from turning a blind eye to such things without any reservations.

Even if Pei Feng uses the Gu poison in his body to control him, it won't work!

That's why he sent a message to Jiang Wuyuan.

He had no choice but to hope that the Dragon Kingdom would intervene to stop Night Owl's operation.

As for Huo Ling himself...

From the day he learned of his father's death, he no longer cared so much about his own life or death.

But this life was saved by his father's sacrifice, so Huo Ling dared not squander it.

He knew there must be something fishy about what Pei Feng had said, but he had no other choice.

Because of the Gu poison in his body.

It controls his life.

He must survive first before he can plan for the future.

However, he still harbored complicated feelings for Jiang Wuyuan.

Hatred?

Not really, it's more of a feeling of helplessness.

He kept thinking that if he had never met Jiang Wuyuan, his father might not have died.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

Sending a message to Jiang Wuyuan behind Pei Feng's back was already the limit of what he could do.

If Pei Feng discovers him and then silences him, he will die without regret.

At least he did what he thought was right.

To exchange one life for the safety of a small country.

His father, even in the afterlife, must be proud of him.

——

Five days later.

Mozvist.

Mozwest is not a prosperous country, but it has a long history of culture, so the local architecture is very exquisite and dignified.

After a conversation with Cang Kong and Fan Yecheng a few days ago, Cang Kong finally decided that Jiang Wuyuan would be the captain of the team that would secretly infiltrate Mozwest.

Cang Kong had to follow the main force and could not leave, which was also to protect the safety of the main force before the war.

As for Fan Yecheng, he's a reckless fool and can't handle a task like intelligence gathering that requires brains.

So the two of them discussed it and decided that the position would go to Jiang Wuyuan.

Jiang Wuyuan did not refuse.

Cang Kong assigned him two companions to infiltrate Mozwest together.

Both of them are elites of the Shadow Strike Legion.

Their strength surpasses that of a Grandmaster, making them the elite combat force of the Shadow Strike Legion.

Similarly, they were two very bright and intelligent people.

One was named Xue Yu, and the other was named Zhou Shan.

Currently, the Dragon Kingdom's reinforcements are unaware of Night Owl's methods.

Therefore, he had no intention of telling Mozwest about these things.

The main reason is that, like Hegersen, Mozvest also lacks a powerful figure above the Saint level.

Their role in this catastrophic disaster was pitifully small.

Moreover, if such important intelligence were leaked, and Mozwest's higher-ups mishandled the situation, allowing Night Owl to discover the clues and immediately change the target, the outcome could be even worse.

Therefore, the plan implemented by the Dragon Kingdom's reinforcements this time can be summed up in one word—deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea.

Although I don't know if Huo Ling's side has been exposed yet...

There was a reason why Jiang Wuyuan wanted to lead people to infiltrate Mozwest.

The eldest elder of Night Owl is skilled in Gu poison.

If that Grand Elder were to intervene again this time, he would surely have planted Gu worms within the country of Moswest beforehand.

At that time, Jiang Wuyuan and the others will naturally be able to detect the traces immediately.

...

For two days, Jiang Wuyuan led Xue Yu and Zhou Shan on a journey through Mozwest.

They looked like three travelers traveling together.

Their arrival went unnoticed and unsuspecting by anyone.

That night, Jiang Wuyuan suddenly broke out of his cultivation state and vaguely sensed something was wrong.

Evil and sinister.

It really is a Gu poison!

Jiang Wuyuan's expression suddenly darkened.

Since acquiring the talent of Sword Heart Clarity, his perception has increased day by day, and he can now clearly sense many subtle auras.

This naturally includes this extremely sinister power.

Jiang Wuyuan suddenly stood up.
