Chapter 582 The Yin-Yang Envoys
Looking at the mountain of documents, Tang Zelong and his companions exchanged glances, not knowing where to start. There were simply too many files, and it would take many days to go through them all. Yaksha might have already assumed a new identity and disappeared among these organizations while they were reading through the files.
"Let the professionals handle it; we should call in other members of Dragon Team," Tang Zelong decided after flipping through a few files and realizing the enormity of the task. He threw the files aside and called in the experts from Dragon Team specialized in document review.
At the same time, he drove straight to the War Department, seeking Sikong Yun to discuss the matter with him.
"Yaksha of the Bright Society's Eight Celestial Dragons?" Sikong Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent upon hearing Tang Zelong's report. He had heard of the Eight Celestial Dragons within the Bright Society.
He could never have imagined that these people would dare to target him. They were truly seeking death!
"Lord Sikong, what is your plan?" Tang Zelong asked.
"Thank you for providing the intelligence, I'm already aware of everything. Leave the rest to me," Sikong Yun said confidently.
Although Yaksha was elusive and infiltrated everywhere, Sikong Yun wasn't worried about handling the situation. His demeanor remained self-assured and polite toward Tang Zelong.
"Then, I will trouble Lord Sikong," Tang Zelong said, finally putting down the worries in his heart.
Dragon Team's personnel in Canton City were too few, and even fewer were power-users. Moreover, they currently lacked any Great King-level experts to handle someone like Yaksha.
Now that Sikong Yun was confident, Tang Zelong felt relieved.
Sikong Yun smiled faintly, "Lord Tang need not be so polite. I should be thanking you instead. Dragon Team's information network is truly unparalleled. You managed to trace Yaksha's whereabouts."
"If not for your intelligence, I fear our Qilin Army would have been in a passive situation this time."
Tang Zelong felt a sense of guilt hearing this.
In truth, Dragon Team hadn't received any information. If it weren't for Wang Chao informing them, they might have been deceived as well.
At the same time, he grew more curious about Wang Chao's background.
Even teams like Dragon Team and Qilin Army failed to detect Yaksha's presence. How did Wang Chao know about it? Where did he obtain such information?
Wang Chao drove to a nearby café near his home, ordered four cups of coffee, and sat down. He leisurely sipped one of the cups while waiting.
Before long, Zhou Xinghe arrived with a man and a woman, smiling as he greeted Wang Chao, "Boss, I've brought my two masters here."
Sitting down opposite Wang Chao without any hesitation, Zhou Xinghe picked up a cup of coffee and began drinking.
The man and woman with him looked at Wang Chao with surprise upon hearing Zhou Xinghe's words.
Both of them appeared to be around forty years old, with the man being handsome and dignified, and the woman possessing a celestial beauty with bright eyes and white teeth. They had graceful and elegant figures.
At first glance, the two of them looked like a couple of celestial beings that had stepped out of a painting, exceptionally harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
"You... You are the Dark Night King?" the man looked at Wang Chao in disbelief.
"Yes, it's me!"
Wang Chao smiled and pushed one of the cups of coffee towards the man, signaling him to sit down. He said, "Lord Yang Emissary, it's been a while."
"And Yin Emissary, please sit too. No need to be so formal."
The two individuals before him were the Yin-Yang Envoys of the Dark Night Corps. The man was Yang Emissary, named Yang Dongtian, and the woman was Yin Emissary, named Ming Zisha.
Both of them were highly skilled in stealth, protection, assassination, and disguise, being masters of espionage. Moreover, they were both five-star Great King-level super experts.
The Yin-Yang Envoys looked at Wang Chao, exchanging glances, and they both saw the astonishment and shock in each other's eyes.
Before their arrival, they had imagined a lot of scenarios and had expected the legendary Dark Night King to be an imposing middle-aged man. But they could have never imagined that the Dark Night King would be a young man not even in his thirties!
It was simply unbelievable!
"You... Are you really the Dark Night King?" The Yin-Yang Envoys sat across from Wang Chao, their gaze fixed on him as they scrutinized him from head to toe, finding it increasingly difficult to believe.
They still couldn't believe that the young man before them, not even thirty years old, was their boss, the renowned Dark Night King! And to top it off, he was so handsome!
Such a thing was hard to believe!
"Master, of course it's me. Otherwise, do you think I would have come all the way here?" Zhou Xinghe glanced at the Yin-Yang Envoys with a disdainful look in his eyes.
"But your mask..." Yang Dongtian asked, puzzled.
In his impression, the Dark Night King always appeared in public wearing his special mask and never showed his true appearance. Only the two senior disciples, the Supreme Martial King, and the Dark Night King knew the real face of the king within the entire Dark Night Corps.
Now, Wang Chao claimed to be the Dark Night King, and as the Yin-Yang Envoys specialized in infiltration and assassination, they naturally held some doubts.
Wang Chao had already anticipated their suspicion and, without a second thought, released his aura on the spot.
In an instant, killing intent swept out, and a majestic aura overwhelmed the Yin-Yang Envoys, engulfing them like an overwhelming tide.
The Yin-Yang Envoys were immediately stiff, feeling like lone boats in a raging sea, on the verge of being engulfed by the waves at any moment.
They even felt as if their souls and hearts were being torn apart, experiencing excruciating pain all over their bodies while being within Wang Chao's aura.
Wang Chao remained calm, immediately retracting his aura. He took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "Now, do you believe me?"
His aura lasted only for a second, but it was enough to shock the Yin-Yang Envoys. They stood there like statues, petrified and drenched in cold sweat. Their hearts were pounding like thunder, almost bursting out of their chests, and their backs were soaked in cold sweat.
After what felt like an eternity, they finally came back to their senses, and with a thump, they knelt before Wang Chao, respectfully saying, "Yin-Yang Envoys pay respects to the Dark Night King!"
They're all too familiar with that aura; it was the same aura that had led them through countless battles and campaigns—the Dark Night King!
Looks, appearances, and information could be falsified, but this terrifying and familiar aura couldn't be faked.
"Enough, don't do this in public, get up," Wang Chao gently lifted his hand.
An invisible force lifted the Yin-Yang Envoys, allowing them to sit back in their seats.
Feeling the immense power, the Yin-Yang Envoys were once again in awe, looking at Wang Chao with eyes filled with respect and fervent admiration.
At this moment, they were completely certain that he was their true king!
"Your Highness, you..." Yang Dongtian asked with immense respect.
"Stop!" Wang Chao quickly interrupted him, his voice stern. "This is Canton City, don't call me Your Highness here. Just call me Wang Chao."
"How can we do that? Your Highness is the most respectable person in our hearts. How can we be so impolite?" Ming Zisha uttered with terror and reverence.
As Yin-Yang Envoys, they held the Dark Night King in the highest regard and could not address Wang Chao so casually.
"Well, then how about this? You can call me 'Boss' just like Zhou Xinghe does," Wang Chao suggested.
"That sounds fine."
"Boss."
The Yin-Yang Envoys nodded respectfully, almost bowing once again.
Wang Chao looked at Yang Dongtian and said, "I brought you here for one purpose only—to have your team protect my family."
"Boss, rest assured, even if we die, we won't let a single hair on your family's head be harmed," Yang Dongtian and Ming Zisha both stood up, making a sincere and earnest promise.
At the same time, they're extremely excited and thrilled, almost jumping with joy. To be able to protect the Dark Night King's family was an immense honor for them!
