However, I want to tell you solemnly that regarding these matters, my Bai Mansion will never let it go! How can we be the lambs to be slaughtered at will? " At this point, Nangong Wending suddenly waved his hand, and a powerful aura emanated from him, which made people look sideways.

"After our thorough investigation and analysis, we have discovered that the mastermind behind the brutal attack on over a dozen of our brothers was most likely someone from the notorious Black Dragon Village!

That is why I have specially called you all here today to entrust you with an important task - to send you to investigate the detailed situation of Black Dragon Village and make sure to find out whether they are the real culprits of this bloody case.

However, I'm sure everyone here has heard of the Black Dragon Stronghold's notoriety. These bandits are known for their arson, murder, looting, and all manner of evil, truly ruthless and vicious. But precisely because this mission is so arduous and dangerous, I've chosen you.

After all, you are all elite captains of the Bai Mansion, both highly skilled and highly accomplished. Only by relying on your exceptional abilities and extraordinary courage can we hope to uncover the truth behind this.

I hope you will live up to your mission and complete it successfully and satisfactorily. Remember, no matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, you must ensure your own safety and return safely."

Nangong Wending continued.

At this moment, a tall, thin, middle-aged man stepped forward. With a firm gaze and full of confidence, he responded, "Commander Nangong, please rest assured! We will go all out and complete this mission flawlessly! Brothers, don't you agree?"

After saying this, the tall and thin middle-aged man turned around with a smug look on his face and looked at his companions beside him, as if he had already secured victory.

"Yes, yes. That's right, Liao Cheng, you are absolutely right!"

When the other few people heard that this mission was actually related to the dreaded Black Dragon Stronghold, their faces turned pale instantly and they secretly groaned in their hearts.

You know, the mere mention of the Black Dragon Stronghold would have made many a charismatic warrior flinch. Everyone knew it was a place of predators and wolves that would devour anyone without leaving a bone! So when they learned the target of this mission was the Black Dragon Stronghold, they knew the journey would be arduous, dangerous, and fraught with peril, and everyone was already hesitant.

However, at this moment, Liao Cheng, who was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, jumped out without hesitation, patted his chest and expressed his loyalty to the leader. It would have been fine if he had just expressed his stance so confidently.

But what annoyed the others the most was that this guy actually brought them into the conversation, as if he was afraid that others didn't know how brave he was.

Now that's great. Those who were originally hesitant about whether to take on this hot potato were suddenly in a difficult situation after he set the tone, and had no choice but to agree to it.

At this moment, these people were extremely furious. They gnashed their teeth in hatred towards Liao Cheng and cursed inwardly, "This damn guy, if he wanted to die, he shouldn't have dragged us down with him! He's such a scoundrel!"

Therefore, the tone of these people's voices was obviously lacking in confidence, and even trembled slightly. How could Nangong Wending and Zhou Ling, who were standing by, not hear the clues?

However, they didn't overly criticize their men. After all, Black Dragon Village's notoriety was well-earned. Facing such a formidable foe, anyone would likely be intimidated. Meanwhile, Wu Ming, who had remained silent until then, couldn't help but feel a surge of joy upon hearing Nangong Wending's words.

It turned out that during this period of time, he had been racking his brains to think of an excuse to go to Black Dragon Village, because only by going there would he have the opportunity to get rid of the obsession that had been lingering in his heart.

As the saying goes, "No matter how hard you try, you'll never find it, but it comes to you without any effort." This perfect opportunity had just dropped from the sky, solving his urgent need. As long as he could successfully use this mission to eliminate his obsession, then he could rest easy from now on, no longer having to worry about this matter.

Thinking of this, Wu Ming's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Alright, don't worry! I'll personally lead you on this mission, so there's no need to worry. Furthermore, our purpose here isn't to attack Black Dragon Stronghold. We're simply going there to gather relevant evidence. We don't necessarily need to engage in direct confrontation with them. This way, the risks will naturally be significantly reduced, so rest assured."

Zhou Ling smiled and explained the details of this mission to everyone in a calm tone.

Zhou Ling's sincere and clear words were like a reassurance, instantly alleviating the worries of the others present. After all, with this experienced and powerful deputy commander personally leading the expedition, they had a reliable backbone when carrying out their mission.

"Yes, Commander Zhou! We will do our best to ensure the successful completion of this mission!" The others responded in unison, their voices loud and firm, revealing full confidence and determination.

At this moment, Nangong Wending, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up and instructed everyone, "Since that's the case, you should all quickly return to your respective residences and make the necessary preparations. After nightfall tonight, you will follow Commander Zhou and quietly leave the Bai Mansion under the cover of darkness."

Remember, setting out at night can help avoid attracting unnecessary attention. It's also important to consider if the enemy has spies in the city. Moving during the day could very well expose our whereabouts, with disastrous consequences. Therefore, proceed with extreme caution!"

After the others slowly departed, only Nangong Wending and Zhou Ling remained. However, they didn't leave. Instead, they stood there motionless, as if silently awaiting some crucial moment.

Not long after, an agile figure came in front of the two of them as fast as the wind. Upon closer inspection, they found that the person was Wu Ming.

Wu Ming asked, "Commanders, why did you ask me to come here?"

It turned out that just when Nangong Wending asked everyone to go back and prepare, he secretly gave Wu Ming a wink.

The thoughtful Wu Ming immediately understood what Nangong Wending must have something to tell him alone, so he pretended to leave, but actually turned back halfway.

Hearing Wu Ming's question, Nangong Wending nodded slightly, then looked at Wu Ming solemnly and said:

"Wu Qi, originally, the eldest master didn't intend for you to participate in this mission. But considering your connection to this matter, he ultimately decided to let you go along. During this mission, you must prioritize your own safety and never take it lightly."
