Mythical Cultivation

When the two of them approached quietly, they heard two voices talking from inside the house.

One of the voices sounded majestic and domineering: "Second brother, how are you doing with the task I assigned to you?" This voice seemed to have an invisible oppressive force, which made people feel awe.

Then, another voice responded, "Boss, don't worry! I've already sent my brothers out to keep an eye on them. If anyone dares to step out of the city gate, we will definitely act without hesitation and capture them in one fell swoop to avenge our fallen brothers!"

Although this voice was not as powerful as the previous one, it revealed a ruthlessness.

Wu Ming and Zhou Ling exchanged glances, each seeing surprise and wariness in the other's eyes. They hadn't expected to find a clue so soon. It looked like this nighttime exploration of the village might actually yield something.

"Remember, you must make sure that everyone in the Bai Mansion is in a state of panic, unable to sleep day and night, and always shrouded in anxiety and fear. Only in this way can we achieve the expectations of that adult." The majestic voice, like a loud bell, echoed in the room again.

"Brother, don't worry. Don't you trust me in doing things?" Then, another slightly confident voice sounded.

However, the majestic voice did not relax because of this. Instead, it strengthened its tone and warned:

"Don't take it lightly! The Bai family is no pushover, and they're definitely not as easy to deal with as they appear. Think about it, the last batch of brothers we sent out were completely wiped out. Isn't such a painful lesson enough to make you more vigilant?"

Hearing this, the person who had just spoken quickly responded:

"Brother, we were just unlucky last time and accidentally fell into an enemy ambush. But this time is different. I have specially arranged for the head of the War Hall to personally lead the team to carry out the mission. With him in command, we will definitely not make the same stupid mistakes as before."

At this moment, Wu Ming, who was hiding outside the house and eavesdropping, took in every word of the conversation between the two people inside. He couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems that we have come to the right place. Judging from their conversation, they must be the gang of thieves who attacked us earlier."

Thinking of this, Wu Ming clenched his fists tightly, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, they heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from far away. Wu Ming and Zhou Ling looked in the direction of the sound, but saw a man running towards the house like an arrow.

When he reached the front of the house, he suddenly stopped, then lowered his head and shouted towards the room: "Two leaders, it's bad! Tingfeng Hall just received an urgent report. It is said that the enemy may be coming up the mountain!"

When Wu Ming and Zhou Ling heard this, they immediately felt nervous. Could it be that he was exposed so soon?

After hearing this man's urgent report, the originally closed door was suddenly pushed open, and then two figures were seen shooting out of the room like lightning.

The man walking in front was wearing a gorgeous purple robe. He held two shiny black iron balls tightly in his right hand and kept turning them around and playing with them.

This man was tall and mighty, more than nine feet tall, with a standard square face with sharp edges and corners, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He was intimidating without even being angry, and exuded an awe-inspiring aura. This man was the renowned leader of the Black Dragon Village - Shen Hao.

The other person who followed him out of the room was dressed in a tight black suit, looking smart and neat. He was tall and slender, and from a distance, he looked like a straight bamboo pole.

Looking at his face again, it was slightly gloomy, and his face was pale, bloodless. He gave off a sinister aura, making people afraid to approach him. Especially since his eyes occasionally flickered with lust, it was clear he was not a good person. This man was none other than Gao Mingyuan, the deputy leader of Black Dragon Village.

As soon as Gao Mingyuan left the room, he couldn't wait to ask, "What? Someone actually dared to trespass into our stronghold? Has this news been confirmed to be true?"

Upon hearing this, the person who came to report hurriedly and respectfully replied, "Master, this is the news that the crows on guard at the foot of the mountain just brought up. The hall master specifically ordered me to pass it on to the two masters and request their personal review."

As he spoke, the man carefully handed the note he had been holding tightly in his hand to Gao Mingyuan. Without saying a word, Gao Mingyuan took the note and looked at it intently.

"It's actually the group of people from the daytime! They disappeared without a trace. Could it be that the people sent by your hall master came back empty-handed?" Gao Mingyuan asked with his eyes wide open and a look of disbelief on his face.

The person reporting the incident standing nearby nodded quickly and replied, "Master Gao, it's indeed as the Hall Master reported. When our people arrived, the place was already empty."

As he spoke, Gao Mingyuan reached out and pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. He turned around and handed it to Shen Hao, muttering, "Brother, take a look at this."

Shen Hao took the note with a serious expression, quickly scanning the words on it. After a moment's contemplation, he looked up at the crowd and asked, "The crows reported that a group of people might be coming up the mountain? So, is there anything unusual tonight?"

Hearing this, Gao Mingyuan quickly replied, "Don't worry, big brother. Everything in our mountain stronghold is normal tonight. We haven't noticed anything unusual. If anyone dared to climb the mountain, the sentries stationed at the foot of the mountain would have sounded the alarm long ago."

However, Shen Hao shook his head and ordered seriously, "Even if there's no news from down the mountain yet, we should still err on the side of caution. Send someone to conduct a thorough investigation immediately, just in case."

Although he was somewhat reluctant, Gao Mingyuan knew that he had to listen to his elder brother's words, so he muttered in response:

"Alright, big brother, I'll arrange for some patrols right away. But I just can't understand why anyone would dare to come to our Black Dragon Village in the dark so late at night. Aren't you being a little too cautious?"

Although he had some complaints in his heart, he did not dare to disobey Shen Hao's orders.

"Regarding matters at the Bai Mansion, you must pay close attention and manage them with care! Only by inflicting heavy losses on them can we force Bai Junjie to return to the mansion. Once Bai Junjie returns home, that lord's plans will be fulfilled, and the reward he bestows upon us will undoubtedly be immense.

What a pity! I heard that the last time the men Your Excellency sent to attack the eldest son of the Bai Mansion, they were just a hair's breadth away from capturing him!"

As Shen Hao spoke, a hint of regret could not help but appear in his tone.
