Chapter 751: You can't keep her?
"Wait!" Hu Chengfeng became vigilant again.
Coming to find Shadow's stronghold but not applying, then what did she come here for?
This woman's behavior was truly too strange; it didn't look like she wanted to join Shadow after being introduced by a friend, but rather like she had come specifically to confirm their exact address.
Extremely high vigilance made Hu Chengfeng realize that he couldn't let this woman go; he had to catch her and force her to reveal her true purpose for coming.
"I told you to stand still! Are you deaf?" Hu Chengfeng roared, took a few quick steps to catch up with the young woman in front, "You sneaked around to find out our Shadow's location, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Just as he reached out to grab the woman's arm, he grabbed empty air.
The woman's figure was as elusive as a shadow. Every time he thought he was about to get close, the other party's figure could always pull away from him at a faster speed.
"Don't run! Stand still!" Hu Chengfeng was a bit annoyed and also secretly shocked.
Regardless of the woman's strength, her light-body technique was definitely one of the best on Wuji Island.
"Why are you chasing me? This girl observed the celestial phenomena and found that you might have a bloody disaster today. I think you'd better take care of yourself." After saying that, she bent down slightly and accelerated, actually disappearing directly into the depths of the dense forest.
Hu Chengfeng looked at the empty space in front of him, dumbfounded.
Why did that woman have such fast speed?
Was she human or a ghost?
Kun City, Yun family's sphere of influence.
The three great families and the richest Lu family on Wuji Island all had
And the Yun family's residence was in the central area of the Yun family's sphere of influence.
After the Astrologer returned from the Shadow's stronghold, she immediately went back to the Yun family's main residence. After entering, she went straight to Yun Shuying's room.
"Boss! Boss!"
She barged in without knocking and was almost hit in the face by a pillow flying toward her.
"Ah! Boss, are you trying to commit murder?" The Astrologer caught the pillow with quick eyes and hands. Given Yun Shuying's strength, if she hadn't dodged, her face would definitely have been swollen for days.
"Who told you not to knock and to come charging in like that?" Yun Shuying, who had been lying on the bed resting her eyes, was startled by the fussing Astrologer and didn't give her a good look either.
"Don't I have something important
to tell you?" The Astrologer threw the pillow on the sofa casually, sat down boldly, and picked up a teacup on the coffee table to pour herself a cup of tea that had already gone cold.
"Speak if you have something to say! Don't disturb my rest!" Yun Shuying rolled her eyes.
"Boss, you absolutely wouldn't guess what I encountered today." The Astrologer mysteriously began to tease.
"Are you going to say it or not?" Yun Shuying grabbed another pillow, pretending to throw it.
"Don't, don't, don't, I'll say it..." The Astrologer said hurriedly, "I encountered people claiming to be members of the Shadow today, and I also discovered their stronghold. Moreover, those people are using the Shadow's banner to recruit talent on a large scale. Do you know? Their stronghold is in the public area of our Kun City."
"What did you say?" Yun Shuying sat up from the bed at once upon hearing this. "Members of the Shadow? How could such a thing exist?"
"Of course, it's someone pretending," the Astrologer said dismissively. "We haven't been watching lately, and some blind fellows have started to stir again, actually daring to impersonate members of the Shadow!"
Yun Shuying's expression changed completely, and a strong coldness emerged in her black eyes.
Many people had tried to impersonate members of the Shadow in the past, and some had even impersonated the Shadow Master.
But those people had all been dealt with by Yun Shuying.
Moreover, she had issued a public notice stating that there was no such organization as the Shadow in the world, and anyone pretending to be the Shadow would be killed without mercy. Only then did the trend of people competing to impersonate the Shadow subside.
But some time ago, Yun Shuying was busy looking for someone in Huaxia and also had to look after that little ancestor Yun Moting, so she rarely returned to Wuji Island and thus had no time to pay attention to those nobodies outside who had designs on the "Shadow."
Now they were actually so rampant as to stir up trouble in the Yun family's territory and even set up a stronghold in a public area; this was truly being ignorant of life and death.
"Where is that stronghold?" Yun Shuying cracked her knuckles with a cold gaze. "I see they don't want to live anymore."
"Look at this!" The Astrologer took out her phone, found a few photos, and handed them over. "I kept evidence; this is the Shadow's headquarters."
"Take me there." Yun Shuying only glanced at the photos hurriedly before walking out of the room first.
Shadow stronghold.
Xu Tian appeared before the new members for the first time in the identity of the Shadow Master.
The new members standing on both sides of the conference hall looked at each other, their eyes filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
They hadn't expected the legendary Shadow Master to be so young.
The legend of the Shadow had been circulating in the underworld for a long time. If the young man before them was truly the Shadow Master, then how old was he when he founded the Shadow?
Some were secretly shocked by Xu Tian's lack of seniority, while some young and beautiful women were quietly tidying their hair and skirts.
Rumor had it that the Shadow Master liked young and beautiful women. If they could gain the Shadow Master's favor, it seemed it wouldn't be bad...
Just then, a team of people walked in from outside. After entering, they automatically divided into two columns, standing on the left and right sides of the conference hall.
Everyone was wearing black cloaks and black masks on their faces.
Originally, the legendary members of the Shadow would wear gaudy, exaggerated costumes, and as for the Shadow Master, he especially liked to dress up like Zorro.
However, Xu Tian felt that dressing like that looked truly too stupid. It might work to bluff people in other countries, but on Wuji Island, where experts were as numerous as clouds, it was simply like a joke.
So he redesigned the uniforms for the Shadow members. Today was the first time the first batch of members wore the new uniforms for display, and Xu Tian felt the effect was quite good.
"Greetings, Lord Shadow Master!"
The masked Shadow members bowed respectfully to Xu Tian, who was sitting in the main seat.
"Rise." Xu Tian raised his hand slightly.
"My Lord, a suspicious woman came to inquire about our location early this morning," Hu Chengfeng stepped forward and reported.
"What kind of person? Didn't you capture her?" Fengwu, who was standing beside Xu Tian, asked.
"I wanted to capture her and interrogate her strictly, but unfortunately, that person's speed was extremely fast, and I simply couldn't keep her..." Hu Chengfeng said with some shame, "It is all this subordinate's incompetence, please punish me, My Lord!"
"You couldn't keep her?" Wuqing, Fengwu, and the others were all stunned.
Among the members of their Shadow, Hu Chengfeng's strength was in the first tier. If even he couldn't keep someone, how terrifying must that person's strength be?
Xu Tian lowered his eyes and remained silent, secretly speculating about who wanted to confirm the Shadow's stronghold.
Was it the Wuji Martial Arts Association?
Or was it Thorn?
