Zhang Shaozhong returned to the courtyard silently, like a shadow in the dark night.
As soon as he climbed into the yard, Ye Meier poked her head out from the balcony and asked in a low, excited voice, "How did it go? Kid, did you succeed? Did you manage to kill a few while you were at it?"
Ling Qingxue also appeared at the living room door, her gaze questioning.
"all the best."
Zhang Shao made an OK sign, a hint of success on his face. "I didn't do anything, but I left them a little 'gift'."
He recounted how he caused chaos in the bar and left listening devices there.
Hearing this, Ye Meier slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Well done! That's how it should be done! It's a pity I didn't go myself, otherwise I would have torn their bar down!"
Ling Qingxue was more concerned about the information she heard: "The blood of a virgin in an Yin year, Yin month, and Yin hour? This is the catalyst needed to refine extremely Yin evil objects or to cast certain vicious spells. It seems that Na Basong has big ambitions and his methods are becoming increasingly ruthless. We must stop him as soon as possible, otherwise innocent people will surely suffer."
Zhang Shao nodded, his expression turning serious: "That's right. The listening device I left behind might be able to hear their next plan."
He immediately took out his dedicated receiving equipment and put on his headphones.
At first, the headphones played the noise of the bar after power was restored and the complaints of the customers.
After a while, the three stalkers returned to their booth, cursing and swearing.
"...What the hell is this bad luck! It must be due to old wiring!"
"I feel like something's not right. It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?"
"Alright, stop scaring yourself! Quickly report the situation to your superiors and then leave. This place is no longer safe."
Then came the sound of a phone call being made, followed by a lowered, respectful report: "Boss... it's us."
The bar suddenly lost power, which is a bit strange... But everything is normal at the target's house, it's just that the place is too eerie, our people can't get close... Yes, yes, we understand, keep watching, never let your guard down... What about Master Basong?
Okay, we will fully cooperate with the master in finding the 'materials'...
The call ended quickly, and only the noise of the bar remained in the listening device.
Zhang Shaozhong took off his headphones, his brow furrowed: "They were very cautious and didn't discuss the specific plan over the phone. However, they mentioned they would fully cooperate with Basong in finding the 'materials,' which means Basong really needs that virgin blood, and may be making a move soon!"
We can't let them succeed!
A hint of ferocity flashed in Ye Meier's eyes, "I hate scum who preys on ordinary people the most!"
Ling Qingxue pondered and said, "We need to take the initiative and find them before they succeed, or... stop them on the spot when they take action."
Meanwhile, inside Zhao Dingtian's villa.
Zhao Dingtian put down the phone, his face grim.
The sudden power outage at the bar made him a little uneasy, but he was more concerned about the progress of Master Basong's work.
He entered the secluded, quiet room.
Master Basong remained seated before the altar, but his face was paler than before, and his breath was much weaker, clearly indicating that the backlash had not yet fully healed.
“Master,” Zhao Dingtian said in a deep voice, “the people below report that the target area is heavily guarded, with a strange formation that prevents our men from getting close. How is your side… the preparation of the 'materials'?”
Master Basong opened his cloudy eyes, a glint of malice and urgency flashing within them: "Array? Hmph, nothing but a crude illusion! Once I recover some of my strength, I can break it with a flick of my wrist! As for the 'materials'..."
He licked his dry lips, a cruel smile spreading across his face. "We've got some leads. Hospital blood bank records, student files from several schools... There aren't many who match, but we're not impossible to find. At most three more days, and we'll have our pickpocketed!"
He looked at Zhao Dingtian, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "Boss Zhao, have your men get ready! Once we have the 'materials,' I will set up the 'Nine Yin Gathering Fiend Array,' drawing upon the Yin energy from the earth's veins and combining it with incantations to turn that courtyard into a death trap from afar! No matter how skilled he is in array formations, he will not escape death! At that time, no one will be able to stop your great undertaking!"
A glint of fanaticism and ruthlessness flashed in Zhao Dingtian's eyes: "Alright! Everything is in your hands, Master! Manpower and equipment are ready at any time!"
The two were plotting a vicious scheme in a secret room, unaware that their search for "materials" had already fallen under Zhang Shaozhong's surveillance.
For the next two days, Zhang Shaozhong wore listening headphones almost constantly, not letting go of any clues.
Finally, on the second night, he heard the crucial information!
The same three lookouts were drinking and grumbling in the bar: "...Damn it, finding people is really tough! The targets that fit the master's criteria either have people around them or are in crowded places, making it hard to make a move!"
"It seems like one of our targets has fallen behind! It's that female college student named Su Wanqing. To support herself, she works part-time at the 'Time Cafe' in the south of the city every night. She finishes work at 10:30 and walks back to school along a deserted road at night..."
"Oh? Is the information accurate?"
"It should be fine! I've been keeping an eye on it for two days already!"
"Alright! Let's make it happen tomorrow night! Send the word down, get the cars and equipment ready, 10:30 PM, ambush in the alley behind the coffee shop! Be quick!"
Su Wanqing! Time Cafe! Tomorrow night at 10:30!
Zhang Shaozhong abruptly ripped off his headphones, a cold glint in his eyes! Found it!
He immediately told Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier what he had heard.
"10:30 tomorrow night, in the alley behind the Time Cafe in the south of the city!" Zhang Shaozhong said firmly. "We must stop them!"
Night Enchantress rubbed her hands together, her killing intent palpable: "The opportunity has finally arrived! Tomorrow, I'm going to tear those bastards apart, one bone at a time!"
Ling Qingxue remained relatively calm: "The other side must be prepared, perhaps with cultivators in charge. We need to devise a comprehensive plan to both rescue the woman and capture as many of their men as possible to force them to reveal Basong's hiding place."
Zhang Shao nodded: "That's right! This time, we're going to uproot them completely!"
The three sat together and began to plan their actions for tomorrow in detail.
Who is responsible for the frontal interception, who is responsible for the covert support, who is responsible for protecting the target, who is responsible for preventing the enemy from escaping... Every detail was carefully considered.
As night deepened, the atmosphere inside the courtyard was as tense as a taut bowstring.
A counterattack against evil forces is about to begin tomorrow night!
Feeling the surging chaotic energy within his body and the powerful auras of the two big shots beside him, Zhang Shaozhong was filled with confidence and fighting spirit.
Come on! Let's find out tomorrow night!
