CHAPTER 686: CHAPTER 685 THE PURPOSE OF THE BLACK NIGHT (4/5)

Back mountain.

Yang Chen hid inside the stone cave, observing the activity outside.

After about an hour, Yang Chen came out, carefully searched outside, and after confirming the person had left, he changed clothes and returned to his residence.

He hadn’t expected to be discovered, and now he needed to act like Xuanliang, doing what needed to be done and ignoring other things, adapting to changing circumstances without changing himself.

However, what puzzled Yang Chen was that the night was unexpectedly quiet, with nothing happening.

According to Yang Chen’s thinking, shouldn’t they be conducting a thorough overnight search?

After all, such an important matter as electing the Saintess must not have any accidents!

Did it just end like this?

Yang Chen found it difficult to understand their thinking; perhaps it was because Yang Chen was a soldier, and they had been isolated from the outside world for too long, preferring to enjoy a peaceful state, choosing to guard rather than change.

In the morning, Yang Chen, as usual, took Xuanliang’s identity and went to do kitchen chores.

Meanwhile, over at the square, the venue was already set up, with flowers everywhere, red carpet covering the entire venue, and various decorations extremely beautiful.

The female disciples preparing to participate in the election were dressed beautifully, eagerly awaiting the ceremony to start soon.

...

Ningchuan Airport.

A flight finally landed after nearly twenty hours of flying.

At the exit, Zhao Feiyang personally led people holding signs in welcome.

However, the sign did not have someone else’s name, but rather Zhao Feiyang’s own name.

Soon, four people wearing hats came out from the exit and approached Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang understood the signal, immediately turned around and led the four people away.

After getting in the car and drawing the sunshade over the window, they finally took off their hats.

"Zhao Feiyang?" Meng Po stared at Zhao Feiyang.

"Yes! It’s me!" Zhao Feiyang responded with a smile.

He dared not look at Meng Po, afraid he couldn’t control himself and might look where he shouldn’t, given that Meng Po was too alluring.

Meng Po’s beauty was different from Ye Xin’s.

Though Ye Xin had a hot figure, she had the intellectual beauty inherent in people from Flame Country, and in front of Yang Chen, Ye Xin wasn’t as wild as during missions.

Though Ye Xin was very beautiful and met international aesthetic standards, she was after all from Flame Country.

Meng Po, in contrast, was a typical Southern Federation beauty, with blonde hair and blue eyes, a hot figure, exuding a wild energy, very alluring despite her young age.

For Zhao Feiyang, a Southern Federation native, no matter how well he knew Flame Country, he still had an irresistible attraction and longing for Southern Federation beauties like Meng Po.

Although Meng Po’s beauty hit all of Zhao Feiyang’s aspirations for female beauty, he was very aware that she was Yang Chen’s woman, one he shouldn’t entertain any thoughts about!

"What news have you gathered over there?" Meng Po asked.

Zhao Feiyang replied immediately, "The information obtained is still limited, but I have determined the likely location."

Saying this, Zhao Feiyang reached for the glove box to get the files, but as he noticed Meng Po’s smooth, full legs, he swallowed and pointed to the glove box, saying, "The documents are inside!"

Meng Po directly opened the armrest box, took out the documents to read them.

Zhao Feiyang continued driving while explaining, "I investigated all the surveillance footage and confirmed that Yang Chen left Ningchuan on the highway together with Sun Ye. Adding to the hassle caused by the red light incident in the past few days, I am sure the location they went to is Nietai Mountain. Many people have claimed that the source of the red light was Nietai Mountain. Many want to explore the truth at Nietai Mountain, but when they tried to go, Nietai Mountain was completely sealed off, unable to enter or leave, and the scrutiny is extremely strict."

"According to these changes, I am very sure that Yang Chen should currently be on the mountain." Zhao Feiyang stated.

Meng Po nodded, handed the documents to the two people behind her, and said solemnly, "Where’s the equipment we need?"

"Everything is already prepared, in the suburbs." Zhao Feiyang replied.

"Take us there!"

"Yes!"

...

Nietai Mountain.

A bright black armored vehicle slowly drove along the road, with no one stopping them throughout.

They continued until they reached the foot of Nietai Mountain, parking at the roadside.

No one got out of the vehicle; instead, the radars and cameras on the vehicle body swayed back and forth.

Inside the vehicle.

A group of people dressed in black sat on either side, intently watching each other.

They were all hidden under black robes, making it difficult to discern the full appearance of the person opposite even when facing each other.

Black Night sat in the middle of the group, speaking in a deep voice, "There are several notices that I need you all to understand."

Everyone instinctively sat up straight.

Black Night said firmly, "Iron Face’s real name is Zhou Botao, a former member of the Dragon Tooth Squad, sent back for treatment due to illness, but later awakened. However, after awakening, Iron Face always claimed that he still couldn’t defeat his captain. So, I must remind you all, beware of Yang Chen!"

Someone scoffed, "Come on boss, that’s Iron Face’s respect for his captain. Our powers have surged exponentially after awakening, right? The people from before are just no match for us now! It’s just he hasn’t fought his former captain. I believe if he were to fight once, his captain would definitely be defeated miserably!"

Black Night said coldly, "Let me repeat once more, be cautious of Yang Chen! This is what the old leader wants me to warn you about!"

"Understood!"

"Also!" Black Night continued, "Since Iron Face is a former member of the Dragon Tooth, he will have great emotions towards the Dragon Tooth Squad. So, if Iron Face launches an attack when we make our move, do not hesitate, directly eliminate him!"

"But... his flames..."

"You don’t need to worry about that, I have my arrangements! Remember, if anyone dares to leak information to Iron Face, don’t blame me for showing no mercy! I’ve already given him a chance, allowing him to stay in Ningchuan; if he really dares to help Yang Chen and takes action, then I can only do this!"

The group of people listened and fell silent.

This squad, despite being called a team, has no emotional bonds.

Each person is unique, each person is so quirky, barely any exchange among them, during non-task periods, they won’t stay together either.

Therefore, regarding the matter of Iron Face Zhou Botao, they did not feel the sorrow of a fellow being, as if discussing a tragic story of an outsider, perhaps with some emotional stirring, but not a significant feeling.

"Alright!" Black Night spoke deeply, "We’ll stay here for the next few days, following my commands. Once we complete this mission, everyone can go back to enjoying life. But remember, you have to endure these days! Anyone daring to mess things up, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

"Understood!"

Everyone replied in unison; they had this degree of endurance.
