"...and so on, like this and that..."
"That concludes Special Operations Agent Coke's report!"
"This mission was extremely dangerous! The enemy is very cunning and treacherous, and we have put in tremendous effort! For this, I demand more money!"
The Audu Chamber of Commerce is located in a safe house in Sands Cotai Central.
Shen Ciyuan was seriously negotiating with Ye Nanxiao on the other side of the screen.
Such a dangerous mission deserves extra pay!
Ye Nanxiao sat cross-legged on the sofa, a loose ball of yarn draped around his neck.
"More money, sure, then. But it's just a branch in a second-tier city, is it really that big? The branch I infiltrated back then was guarded by elite evil spirit masters, wasn't it?"
"This only shows that the cult is growing larger and larger," Shen Ciyuan said.
As an organization grows larger, its scale will inevitably increase.
Ye Nanxiao rubbed his nose, having witnessed firsthand the power of support from a behemoth like the state.
Even a tiny bit of resources between your fingers can make a pig take flight.
"The original plan was for two support teams to investigate other evil spirit masters' activities along the way, so I sent them to investigate. I've also assigned two more teams to you," Ye Nanxiao told Shen Ciyuan.
The hunter team that was originally with Shen Ciyuan had to be temporarily reassigned.
"Alright, who should we send this time? How about Mooncat lend a hand?" Shen Ciyuan said, his eyes gleaming. "With Mooncat here, we can win without lifting a finger. Or Star Constellation would be fine too!"
The Mooncat Squad, the Star Squad, and the Hunter Project ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.
"The two of them are on standby in other places, which are quite remote, so it's not realistic for them to come back. Night Peacock is with Heavenly Soul, though. Why don't you discuss it with Night Peacock?" Ye Nanxiao considered the positions of his hunters in his mind, but he had already made his move and was not about to give any instructions to move them.
Shen Ciyuan has been with the Aodu Chamber of Commerce for quite some time now, and especially since he hangs out with the two generals every day, he's become quite familiar with the hunter team.
Shen Ciyuan, a social butterfly, somehow managed to become familiar with all the hunter teams, even the aloof top five hunter teams.
Upon hearing the name Night Peacock, Shen Ciyuan's expression immediately changed, and he quickly shook his head, "No, no, no! They have a heavy mission! There's no need to call them!"
"What's there to be afraid of? Are grown men afraid of troubling each other?"
"Trouble! That Night Peacock guy is practically a man!"
"Oh? I recorded it. If you don't want the Peacock King to come back and have tea with you, you'd better listen to me! Hehehe!"
Luo Xinyao leaned back in her wicker chair with a book in her arms. Hearing the wicked laughter, she looked up at the two clowns and decided to walk away for a while.
"I'd better rely on myself! By the way, when we were sweeping and inspecting that branch hall today, we found a lot of deep-sea silver and fine sea sand, and it smelled quite damp, so it must have been transported from the other side of the sea," Shen Ciyuan said.
"Fine sea sand? This stuff is only found in the deep sea to the west?" Ye Nanxiao was slightly taken aback.
A bad thought popped into his mind.
Has the Holy Spirit Cult already extended its reach into the ocean?
I originally thought the Holy Spirit Church had left its hands and feet in Mingdu, and that my intelligence network had been working at high intensity. How come I haven't received any news?
"I understand. I will contact Douling. You all need to be careful in everything you do," Ye Nanxiao said quickly. If the Holy Spirit Cult had already made contact with the sea, then he had to take action.
The structures of soul beasts in the sea are far more complex than those on the mainland.
Even now, the four great empires have only made preliminary explorations and utilizations of resources in their coastal waters, and each extraction comes at a huge cost.
The spirit beasts in the sea are far more dangerous than those on land, and the environment in the sea makes it difficult for both spirit masters and spirit mentors to unleash their full potential.
This increased the difficulty of development several times over.
The high level of investment and slow returns have caused many countries to lose patience, simply maintaining the slow development of projects and waiting for a surprise to suddenly appear one day.
This has led to a decline in funding and work enthusiasm among coastal development departments, who are now content with their stable jobs and living a leisurely life.
This attracted the attention of some noble families, who invested in the empire's coastal projects and used the empire's name to seek profits for their own families at sea.
As long as they use the guise of investment, they can openly and legitimately establish engineering projects along the coast.
"This is probably how the Holy Spirit Cult operates—establishing branch churches along the coast under a false name." Ye Nanxiao held his head and slowly closed his eyes.
A large number of people need to be deployed in Mingdu, and the new headquarters in Feihong City also needs a lot of people. How many people can be spared to support the Douling Empire?
Or, should we continue to support a long-term clone to go there?
The idea was rejected by Ye Nanxiao as soon as it came up. The newly separated clones, number five and six, had obvious flaws. No, it should be said that all the clones except number one had obvious personality flaws.
Although Xiao Ye No. 1 is a fun-loving person, he is the closest clone to Ye Nanxiao overall, and his thinking flaws are not very obvious.
"Lezi, sword fanatic, all-around butler, melancholic research maniac, aloof assassin, compassionate benefactor, oh and a brute."
"So, it seems like your personality is quite complex, Xiao'er?" Xue Di flew out from between Ye Nanxiao's eyebrows.
Closely following behind was the snow wolf, Big White.
Today, the diligent star anise continues its day of diligent study and research on the Ye Family Annals.
"So boring! Those comic books are so boring! Is there anything fun to do?" Da Bai pounced on Ye Nanxiao's lap, its fluffy wolf tail wrapping around Ye Nanxiao's left leg.
"Shall I take you to shoot balloons?" Ye Nanxiao reached out and pressed down on the wolf's head, which was about to pounce.
Big White pouted slightly and shook his head, saying, "No way! I know from your memories! That's a game only children play!"
"I think your IQ is about that of a child." Xue Di flicked Da Bai's forehead with her finger, then reached out and hugged Ye Nanxiao. "I'm bored too!"
Ye Nanxiao helplessly picked up the two big ones. He had just thought of a possible solution, but these two darlings had messed things up again.
"Xiao'er~"
"Little Ye~"
"I'm so bored~" *2
Ye Nanxiao felt as if he had been attacked by the legendary demonic sound. This was probably the sonic power described by Mr. Jin Yong.
Finally, Ye Nanxiao pulled out a whack-a-mole machine, which awakened the wolfish instincts within Da Bai.
Seeing that Da Bai was having a great time pouncing on and playing with the groundhogs, Ye Nanxiao finally had a free hand to deal with Xue Di.
"Little Snow Maiden! Where do you think you're going!" Ye Nanxiao picked up the Snow Empress, who was standing still with her arms outstretched, intending to set an example by demonstrating what good verbal skills were.
Xue Di smiled slightly; she wouldn't admit defeat so easily.
Where is the snow wolf, Big White?
I'm already completely absorbed in the joy of the whack-a-mole game.
Nighttime is a celebration for the lonely, and also the best cover for ambition and crimes.
Xu Zhong's residence.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Master, it's open!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhong suddenly stood up from the recliner, dropped the exquisite teacup in his hand, and rushed to the ninth-level Soul Master Guest Elder in an instant.
What appeared before him, besides the fawning faces of the two level-nine soul masters, was a safe with its door wide open.
"Quick! Check what's missing! What did that damned Xiao Nanye steal!" Xu Zhong said immediately.
The two level-nine soul masters exchanged a glance, both looking troubled.
For a moment, neither of them moved.
"Hmm? Is there anything else?" Xu Zhong frowned and looked at the two level-nine soul masters.
One of the ninth-level Soul Masters raised his hand tremblingly and said, "Master, actually, these locked security measures are all different; we only opened the first one."
"boom!"
A large amount of dust was blown away, and the strong wind made the clothes of the two level-nine soul masters flutter loudly.
The two took two steps back and quietly raised their heads.
There stood only a small dragon-man covered in ferocious scales.
"You're saying that after all this effort, you only managed to open the first safe?" Xu Zhong opened his mouth wide, and viscous liquid dripped between his sharp teeth.
"Yes, Master." The two level-nine Soul Masters lowered their heads, but there was little remorse in their voices.
They had already told Xu Zhong that Xiao Nanye was using a core insurance array sequence that they had never seen before.
Although they were all level nine soul masters, they had actually studied the system's theoretical assessments. They needed to spend a considerable amount of time researching this novel approach that was outside the realm of common sense.
Xu Zhong looked at the two ninth-level Soul Masters who showed no remorse, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes. He also remembered what the two had said earlier.
"Ah! Xiao Nanye! I wish I could devour his flesh raw and drink his blood!"
Xu Zhong suddenly went berserk, frantically scratching at the wall beside him.
The piercing sound, accompanied by a shower of sparks, dimmed the dragon-transformed figure.
Xu Jing stood shakily a short distance away, trying his best to shrink his obese body so as not to be seen by Xu Zhong.
A full quarter of an hour passed before the piercing sound finally stopped.
Xu Jing immediately perked up his ears and overheard a soft voice: "Go, find the Hall of Offerings! Tell them that Xiao Nanye is incredibly audacious, attacking my residence multiple times! Lei Shang and the others may have been bribed by Xiao Nanye!"
"Damn it! If it weren't for their interference, I would have captured Xiao Nanye long ago!"
Tonight, Xu Zhong's residence is once again a place that is anything but peaceful.
However, none of them noticed that in the corner of the first safe that was opened, there was a layer of clay of the same color. Under the dim light of the soul guide lamp, the two ninth-level soul masters who were being scolded did not notice it, Xu Zhong, who was furious, did not notice it, and Xu Jing, who was thinking about how to avoid his master's anger, did not notice it either.
After the core security array was broken, the cabinet door was slammed shut.
But there's another thing that happened tonight.
Aodu Hotel.
Sitting on the gourmet floor, enjoying the buffet, Qiu'er suddenly turned her head to look at the shadowy corner.
"The demonic uncle?"
