Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Finding the Den_1
But these were not the concerns of Ye Fei.
He only cared about the whereabouts of the Diku Venerable!
He only thought of avenging those innocent children who had perished tragically!
Flipping to the last page.
It was a map.
Within the mountain range on the north side of Quan City, a striking red circle had been marked.
That was the location of the Diku Venerable’s ultimate lair.
"How reliable is this information?"
"One hundred percent."
Wang Jianglong took a sip of beer, seemingly preoccupied, and said in a low voice, "The information is accurate, but I always feel like this matter is not simple."
"What do you mean?" Ye Fei looked up at Wang Jianglong.
The latter slammed his beer glass down on the table.
"These three days, I have mobilized all intelligence resources in Qingyun and Canglang states, and even those outside the states. But all I gathered was only what’s on the previous pages."
"The lair of the Diku Venerable has always remained elusive. Yet this morning, this piece of intelligence suddenly surfaced."
"It feels as though someone deliberately delivered the information to me. To be honest, I have a bad feeling about this."
Ye Fei understood what Wang Jianglong meant.
"Are you saying that this is also a trap set by the Pangu Sect, deliberately luring me in?"
"Highly possible! If this is truly a trap, then it will become extremely perilous!"
Wang Jianglong pointed his finger around the red circle on the map, "You see, little brother, this location is deep within the mountain ridges. No village ahead, no store behind, surrounded by cliffs on all sides—if something goes wrong, we can’t even provide support."
"Once the Pangu Sect sets up an inescapable net there, even if I brought the entire Qianlong Squad, it might not be enough to be a threat to them."
Ye Fei smiled lightly, "Why would I need your Qianlong Squad for this? You just need to provide me with intelligence. To confront these beasts, I alone am enough."
"How can that be acceptable!"
Wang Jianglong slammed the table, startling the customers nearby.
He quickly lowered his voice, his brows furrowed, and said, "Brother, it’s not that I don’t trust your strength. But this trip is too dangerous, and they are deliberately enticing you, so they will be fully prepared."
"If you go alone, no matter how tough you are, how many nails can you crush? Listen to me, at the very least, I should bring three squads to go with you!"
Wang Jianglong also felt quite frustrated in his heart.
If it wasn’t for the main forces being sent to the northern front, he wouldn’t just send three squads—he could send thirty squads if he wanted!
To march straight across the mountains and flatten the enemy’s lair.
Ye Fei, of course, understood Wang Jianglong’s good intentions and predicament.
He said with a wry smile, "Qingyun state’s defenses are critical right now; you can’t act rashly. How do you know the Pangu Sect isn’t playing a ’lure the tiger from the mountain’ trick on you?"
"Once you send a large force with me into the mountains, they could circle around and catch us off guard. Can you imagine the severity of the consequences?"
Ye Fei’s words awakened Wang Jianglong from his reverie.
After hearing them, Wang Jianglong’s face instantly changed.
"Damn, how could I not have thought of that layer! Brother, you think of everything!"
"But! How can I rest assured letting you go on such a dangerous mission alone? Let’s make more thorough plans. Once Step Elder returns and we have sufficient manpower, we can flatten their hideout without delay!"
Ye Fei laughed bitterly, "Then it would be too late. Alright, alright, Dragon, just listen to me this time. I promise I will measure my own strength and will not rashly put myself in danger, okay?"
"Alright! It’s settled then! Hurry up and eat, or the skewers will get cold."
Wang Jianglong still felt uneasy but could not come up with a better strategy, so he reluctantly began eating his skewers.
"Hey! The lamb kidneys are ready!"
The owner called out as he briskly walked to the table, and while placing the lamb kidneys on the plate, he inadvertently glanced at the map marked with a red circle on the table.
Wang Jianglong didn’t notice because he was currently preoccupied.
But Ye Fei caught the very secretive glimpse in its entirety and quietly took note of the scene.
...
Elsewhere.
According to the clues provided by Bai Shuxuan.
The piano prince who had performed in Music City that day was a member of the Haoming Studio.
To help the young girl, Meiqi even took out an extra fifteen minutes to have everyone from Haoming Studio perform one after the other.
The result, as one might guess, was that not one person matched the description.
Bai Shuxuan left feeling incredibly disheartened.
Since Zhong Ning had an exam the next day, Bai Shuxuan decided to send her home first, then wandered forlornly on the streets alone.
Bai Shuxuan was naturally very beautiful, and to make a good first impression on the piano prince, she had specially dressed in eye-catching clothes today.
Such beauty coupled with eye-catching attire...
In the seductive night, it naturally made her prey in the eyes of some scoundrels.
As Bai Shuxuan walked along, three middle-aged men blocked her path.
The three were reeking of alcohol.
They continuously scanned Bai Shuxuan with invasive gazes and emitted sleazy laughter.
"Little sister? Strolling alone so late, you must be very lonely, huh? How about uncles keep you company and have some fun?"
