Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue were as light as swallows, their steps swift and agile, like two flashes of lightning in the night, silently rushing towards the Demon Blood Cult. The night was as dark as ink, like a thick black veil, covering the entire world.

However, the pitch-black night did not hinder their progress, but instead became their perfect cover, allowing their figures to perfectly blend into the darkness without being discovered by anyone.

The two men moved like ghosts, erratic and without a trace. Sometimes they leaped onto the roof and lightly skimmed over the tiles; sometimes they hid in the shadows, quietly waiting for the patrol to pass by.

Even if there was an occasional breeze that caused the corners of their clothes to flutter slightly, it only made an extremely subtle sound and instantly disappeared in the night wind, as if it was just the darkness whispering softly.

Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue were very familiar with the complex buildings within the Demon Blood Cult. Every blade of grass, every brick and every stone here were deeply engraved in their minds.

Therefore, they moved freely in the traffic, and every turn and every avoidance seemed just right. They had already figured out the patrol team's route clearly.

, so they can always avoid it easily, as if this is their own back garden and they can stroll in it as they please.

At this time, the leader of the Demon Blood Cult was furious because of Liu Lei's matter. His originally handsome face became twisted and hideous because of anger. He kept roaring and vented all his anger on those innocent members of the Demon Blood Cult.

However, he had no idea that Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue had briefly left the Demon Blood Sect, nor did he know that these two mysterious figures had completed an important mission and returned safely.

"Hmph! That loser Liu Lei actually messed things up like this. None of you good-for-nothings are capable of doing anything useful!" The sub-leader's eyes were wide open, and his roar echoed in the hall, like a raging thunder exploding in the valley, shaking the walls of the hall so much that they seemed to tremble slightly.

At this moment, the entire hall was in deathly silence. Many believers were silent as a mouse, not daring to even breathe.

They all lowered their heads, their panicked eyes filled with deep fear, and their bodies trembled constantly, like dead leaves in the wind, completely unable to control themselves.

It seems that if you make the slightest noise, a terrible disaster will instantly befall you.

Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue, who were standing in the crowd, were secretly overjoyed. However, they cleverly concealed their true feelings and still pretended to be extremely respectful on the surface.

They were seen standing respectfully with their hands hanging down, their eyes almost touching the ground in humility, their bodies slightly leaning forward, their hands clasped respectfully in front of their chests, as if every word spoken by the branch leader in front of them was a sacred decree that could not be disobeyed.

At this moment, the branch leader's stern gaze suddenly swept towards Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue, and he spoke, "Hong Huang, Ling Qingyue, your performance in our sect has always been commendable. But now, the situation in Jigui City has changed dramatically! Although the Liu family has collapsed, we in the Demon Blood Sect will never give up this piece of juicy meat in Jigui City so easily. Therefore, I now order you to depart for Jigui City immediately and make sure to thoroughly understand the current situation in the city. Especially regarding Zhang Wenyu, who has just ascended to a high position, you must carefully investigate his abilities. If you find an opportunity, we will do everything we can to firmly control Jigui City once again in the hands of our Demon Blood Sect!"

"As you command, Sub-Cult Leader!"

Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue responded in unison, their voices as loud and firm as a bell, revealing their unconditional obedience to the leader's orders.

However, beneath this outward submissiveness, each of them actually had their own careful calculations in their hearts. For them, this mission was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

On the one hand, he can work closely with Zhang Wenyu with justification; on the other hand, he can take the opportunity to further infiltrate the core area of ​​the Demon Blood Cult to explore and obtain those crucial confidential information.

For a long time, they seemed to be groping in the dark and endless night, but at this moment, they finally caught a glimpse of a faint ray of dawn.

Although this ray of dawn is still weak, it is enough to dispel some of the darkness, illuminate the winding journey ahead for them, and continuously give them the courage, confidence and endless strength to move forward.

Having made up their minds, the two did not dare to delay for even a moment. They immediately received the order and set off, galloping all the way towards Jigui City.

Under Zhang Wenyu's careful management, this city is gradually showing vigorous vitality and vigor.

From afar, the tall and solid city walls stand majestically and magnificently. The city gate is heavily guarded, with rows of fully armed guards standing there like a Great Wall of Steel.

These soldiers were wearing exquisite armor that gleamed with cold light, holding various extremely sharp weapons in their hands. Each of them stood as tall as a pine tree, with bright eyes, staring intently at the passing pedestrians and vehicles, not missing any clues.

They stood as straight as pine trees, their eyes sharp as eagles, and conducted meticulous and careful inspections of everyone entering and leaving the city gate.

His focused and rigorous expression seemed as if he was guarding the most precious and valuable treasure in the world, and would not tolerate any mistakes or errors.

The people entered and exited the city gate in an orderly manner. Everyone walked at a leisurely pace and appeared calm and composed.

Their faces all showed a calm and peaceful expression, as if living here, their hearts were filled with a sense of security.

The shops on both sides of the street are all open to welcome customers, and the shelves inside the stores are filled with a wide variety of goods, which are dazzling and overwhelming.

The shop owners are all smiling and enthusiastically attracting passers-by, and they keep shouting out the advantages and characteristics of their goods. What a bustling scene with booming business!

Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue walked side by side. After passing through the bustling crowd and entering the city, they walked towards the City Lord's Mansion where Zhang Wenyu was without hesitation.

From afar, the City Lord's Mansion was majestic and magnificent, standing there like an unshakable mountain.

The tall and majestic gatehouse is solemn and dignified, giving people an invisible sense of oppression; the stone lions on the left and right sides of the gate are even more majestic and lifelike. They squat steadily on the ground, their eyes wide open and bright, as if they are always alert to the movements around them, guarding the peace and harmony of this mansion.

When Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue stepped into the mansion, the first thing that caught their eyes was the deep and winding courtyard path. There were green trees and lush flowers and plants on both sides of the road. When the breeze blew, the branches and leaves swayed gracefully, bringing bursts of fresh and pleasant fragrance.

Going further in, you can see exquisite and unique pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner, some built by the water, some standing beside the mountain, complementing each other, forming a magnificent landscape painting, fully demonstrating the owner's elegant and unique aesthetic taste.

Finally, after a long search, they found Zhang Wenyu. Hong Huang stepped forward and bowed slightly to Zhang Wenyu, saying, "Alliance Leader Zhang, everything is ready now. It can be said that 'everything is ready, only the east wind is missing'! This time, the branch leader of the Demon Blood Cult specially sent the two of us to control Jigui City. This way, no one else will know about our cooperation!"

There was a hint of excitement and anticipation in his eyes, as if he saw the dawn of future victory shining before his eyes.

Zhang Wenyu stared at Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue with deep eyes. His gaze was like a deep lake, and endless wisdom and thoughts seemed to be hidden beneath the calm surface.

After a moment, he slowly said: "No problem, the supplies have been fully prepared. I hope you will not be too careful in the Demon Blood Cult."

His voice was calm and firm, with an unquestionable majesty, and at the same time revealed a hint of concern and worry for Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue. After all, they were about to go deep into the tiger's den, and any small mistake could lead to total loss.

Hong Huang smiled faintly and continued, "Alliance Leader Zhang, the Demon Blood Cult's branch leader only knows that there's an opportunity to seize Jigui City, but he's unaware of our relationship. We within the Demon Blood Cult will pass on false intelligence to the branch leader to mislead his decisions. At the same time, we'll secretly sabotage the Demon Blood Cult's deployments around Jigui City to weaken their power. For example, if the Demon Blood Cult is about to plunder the villages surrounding Jigui City, we can leak the news to the villagers in advance so they're prepared. We can also secretly disrupt the Demon Blood Cult's supply lines, making their actions difficult."

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, his eyes gleaming with wisdom, as if he had already seen the trouble the Demon Blood Cult had fallen into due to their schemes.

Zhang Wenyu nodded and said, "Then I hope our plan will work!" A relieved smile appeared on his face, as if after groping in the dark for a long time, he finally found a feasible way.

"This plan is feasible!" Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue said confidently. Their voices were firm and powerful, as if announcing their determination and confidence to the whole world.

Thus, the cooperation between Zhang Wenyu and Hong Huang officially began, and Zhang Wenyu began to prepare supplies. He carefully selected some items in the city that seemed precious but actually had little impact on Jigui City as supplies to be handed over to the Demon Blood Cult.

He personally led his men to carefully select items in the warehouse, and each item was strictly checked by him to ensure that it could satisfy the greed of the Demon Blood Cult without causing too much obstruction to the development of Jigui City.

A few days later, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue returned to the Demon Blood Cult with the supplies prepared by Zhang Wenyu. Upon learning of their return, the Demon Blood Cult's branch leader summoned them.

"How did you harvest this time?" the sub-master asked eagerly. His eyes revealed a hint of greed and anticipation, as if he was waiting for a sumptuous feast.

Hong Huang stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Sub-Cult Leader, we've gone through a lot of trouble in Jigui City. Although we haven't completely taken control of Jigui City, we've successfully made Zhang Wenyu surrender. He's willing to hand over these supplies every month in exchange for the Demon Blood Cult's protection."

As he spoke, he signaled his men to present the supplies. The supplies were neatly placed in the center of the hall. Although they were not rare treasures in the world, they also exuded an alluring luster.

The sub-leader looked at the supplies before him, a look of satisfaction in his eyes: "Well, you two have made great contributions this time. Although these supplies are not extremely precious, they are enough to prove Zhang Wenyu's sincerity."

A smug smile appeared on his face, as if he saw that the Demon Blood Cult's rule in Jigui City was about to be restored.

In order to reward Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue, the sub-leader gave them generous rewards. Hong Huang obtained a precious magic secret book. The magic skills recorded in this secret book are powerful and can greatly improve one's strength after practicing.

However, Hong Huang knew very well that in this complex situation, sticking to his own heart and cultivation path was the key to saving his life and completing the mission.

He found a remote secret room, gave up practicing the magic skill, and practiced his own skills in seclusion every day.

Ling Qingyue made many friends in the Demon Blood Sect. She took advantage of the opportunity given by the branch leader to build closer relationships with some middle-level believers in the Demon Blood Sect.

She was wearing a light blue long dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth. Her face was delicate and charming, her eyes were bright and lively, and her smile was like a spring breeze, which made people feel good about her.

She was intelligent and quick-witted, and spoke tactfully. During her conversations with the believers, she intentionally or unintentionally tried to find out some inside information of the Demon Blood Cult, especially about the plans of the branch leader and the deployment of the Demon Blood Cult's troops around Jigui City.

She was like a nimble butterfly, moving freely through the complex flowers of the Demon Blood Cult, cleverly obtaining the information she needed.

In Jigui City, Zhang Wenyu was not idle either. On the one hand, he continued to strengthen the city's defense construction. The tall city walls were constantly reinforced with the hard work of the craftsmen, and the defense facilities on the city walls were also becoming more and more perfect.

On the other hand, he began to secretly train an elite force, which was composed of loyal men selected by him personally. They trained hard day and night in a secret camp outside the city.

The training content includes martial arts, spells, and special tactics to deal with the Demon Blood Cult. The soldiers sweated profusely under the scorching sun, practicing every move repeatedly, striving for perfection.

He also built a secret warehouse in the basement of Jigui City to store supplies and weapons for emergencies. The warehouse was filled with all kinds of food, weapons and medicinal materials, like a solid backing, providing a guarantee for the future of Jigui City.
