Chapter 78: Squad Rendezvous

Xie Yaoyao had Helai'er and Lilisi coordinate with him to carefully observe the entirety of Heisenbao; as expected, going from underwater was still the safest method.

Therefore, Xie Yaoyao returned to the Little Garden, transformed into a catfish, and jumped into the small river.

Underwater, Xie Yaoyao, having turned into a catfish, could not use spells, so he had no choice but to transform back into his human form to manipulate the seaweed on the riverbed; one by one, the strands of seaweed eventually wound themselves around the iron bars of the underwater passageway.

"Clang!"

The mud on the riverbed churned, and countless water weeds forcibly snapped the iron bars.

Seeing the mud roiling, Xie Yaoyao immediately transformed into a catfish and swam out of the passageway into the Huichenghe.

The timing was perfect; the soldiers on the city wall were facing away from the Huichenghe, so Xie Yaoyao leaped out of the water and instantly transformed into a swift, flying toward the mountain.

He hadn't expected that just by scouting for information, he would obtain another invitation letter, even if it was only a single-person invitation.

Perhaps he could sell it?

In any case, he had already agreed with Vivian and the others to do the mission together.

Who should he sell it to?

Since there were multiple invitation letters, it was possible that everyone entering the Ju Qing Di Tu might end up as competitors.

Forget it, it was an unexpected joy anyway.

Xie Yaoyao intended to keep it on his person; if the invitation letter was still usable after this mission was completed, he would find an opportunity to sell it to Duanmu Li.

Carrying a pleasant mood, Xie Yaoyao returned to Heisen Xiaozhen.

When he left, the three women said they were going to the town's bulletin board to post a message, so Xie Yaoyao naturally headed toward the center of town.

He just didn't expect to have his path blocked by a group of thugs halfway there.

"Kid, we finally caught up to you. Speak up, where did those three stinking women you were with run off to?"

Scratching his head, Xie Yaoyao looked at this group of people in front of him in confusion.

"Who are you?"

The leader of the thugs was super angry; he was the one who had been kicked by Nie Yingying.

He stepped forward and gave Xie Yaoyao a fierce shove, but he didn't budge.

However, he couldn't let his momentum weaken, so he said viciously.

"Kid, don't try to play dumb. Where are the three stinking women who were with you at the Huixiong Jiuguan this morning?"

Xie Yaoyao looked down at the dirty handprint left on his clothes, then looked at the thug's arrogant face.

"You... didn't wash your hands?"

The thug leader clearly hadn't expected the other party's train of thought to be so peculiar, and for a moment, he was actually stunned.

He looked at the handprint he had left on the person's clothes, then looked at his own filthy palms, and for a moment, he actually felt a bit embarrassed.

"That..."

But before he could finish his sentence, Xie Yaoyao grabbed him by the throat and hauled him into the nearby alley.

The remaining thugs saw this and, realizing the gravity of the situation, immediately chased after them.

"Clatter-bang!"

Before long, Xie Yaoyao straightened the clothes he had just put on and nodded with satisfaction.

He had just noticed this guy's build was about the same as his own, and looking at it now, it really was.

These days, even thugs have money to buy new clothes; this profession has great development prospects. It seems that even being a thug is better than being a farmer—just look at how thin those farmers outside the town are!

Then, Xie Yaoyao happily headed in the direction the others had confessed they had lost track of them in that morning.

Because having a crow standing on his shoulder in the city was too conspicuous, Xie Yaoyao had let Lilisi land on the houses as she pleased back when he entered the town.

Helai'er? He was fine; he had been maintaining an invisible state the whole time!

Soon, Xie Yaoyao, swaggering along in his new clothes, was spotted by the women inside the church.

Vivian leaned half her body out of the church window and shouted happily at Xie Yaoyao.

"Ling! Ling! Here, here, hurry over!"

Then, she was seen tumbling out with a 'thump'.

This idiot, it really was her style!

Vivian, having tumbled out, didn't care at all; she scrambled up and ran over.

She ran up to Xie Yaoyao, grabbed his hand, and walked toward the church.

"Ling, you don't know, as soon as you left, I found Xing. Hehe, I'm amazing, right!"

If he hadn't just learned what was going on from the thugs, he really would have thought this person knew Duanmu Xing's location from the start!

He had originally thought there were only a few girls in the church, but he hadn't expected the small church to be packed full of people.

And they were acquaintances!

Xie Yaoyao immediately recognized these guys as the members of the Heaven Alliance who had been chased and hacked at by Lars alone on the road.

Heh, everyone here is trash! Xie Yaoyao immediately established a psychological advantage!

It was only when his gaze swept over the red figure on the pulpit that his heated head immediately cooled down.

I didn't mean you! Duanmu Li!

The members of the Heaven Alliance were supposed to be having a meeting, but seeing Vivian lead Xie Yaoyao in, everyone stopped.

Duanmu Li looked at Xie Yaoyao, her phoenix eyes lifting involuntarily, and she said with a smile.

"Linghu Chong, right! I'll have to trouble you with my sister and the others' mission this time!"

Xie Yaoyao gave a playful smile.

"Hall Master Duanmu is too polite. This is my own mission as well; as a teammate, I will naturally do my best."

Xie Yaoyao's polite and distant tone made Comrade Nie Yingying very satisfied.

That's it! We are doing our best because it's our own mission, and as teammates, of course, we should help each other; it's not because you, Hall Master Duanmu, have great influence!

The man before her was very confident; she had felt it since their first meeting.

As the Master of the Vermilion Bird Hall of the World Union, Duanmu Li had always been known for being overbearing and aggressive.

But only those close to her knew that her younger sister, Duanmu Xing, was her weakness; having lost their parents at a young age, the two sisters grew up relying on each other, and this younger sister was her only kin.

If not for her sister's illness, Duanmu Li would never have let her enter this dark Fairytale World.

Fortunately, after exerting every ounce of her strength, Duanmu Li finally managed to obtain the 【Holy Light Priest】 profession Entry for her sister, and with the daily baptism of Holy Light, her sister's illness was finally suppressed.

But to cure it completely, she still needed to find a powerful Bloodline Entry for Duanmu Xing, similar to her own 【Red Dragon】 bloodline.

And equipping a powerful Bloodline Entry required a higher rank; for instance, she had to wait until she reached the sixth rank to barely be able to equip her own 【Red Dragon】 bloodline.

Therefore, the matter of Duanmu Xing's advancement had been a heavy stone weighing on Duanmu Li's heart recently.

Now, the problem had been solved by Vivian through a stroke of luck, and judging by the situation, this team was unexpectedly strong.

Thus, the more Duanmu Li looked at Xie Yaoyao, the more satisfied she became.

"Little Brother Linghu, I heard from Vivian that you went to Heisenbao to scout for information. I wonder what the situation is like over there?"

Hearing Duanmu Li ask this, the room full of World Union members immediately tensed up.

This kid went to Heisenbao too?

Did he see us in our sorry state along the way?

Seeing the expressions of that group change slightly, Xie Yaoyao knew exactly what they were thinking.

However, since he had followed behind and picked up a huge bargain, he naturally couldn't make it public.

So he chuckled.

"Scouting is done; I have already found a safe path to enter the castle. Not only did I find the way in, but I also saw people from the Illuminati at Heisenbao. It was a bald guy, and the tattoos all over his head and face looked quite fierce!"
