Chapter 674: Night Infiltration of Dayang Fu (6/10, Autumn Subscription)

Alien slaves?

Fang Yue felt a bit puzzled—what was so appealing about this reward?

No!

If it's some special alien only some old pervert would understand, then it must be incredibly attractive.

The only things Fang Yue could imagine were fluffy nine-tailed foxes or adorable cat-girls.

Or maybe… the Short-Tail Clan?

Honestly, the Short-Tail Clan's looks are decent, too bad they're on the opposite side.

Suppressing his thoughts, Fang Yue decided to head to the Eagle Caravan that very night to drag out someone and extract information first.

Sneaking out of Dayang Fu, he observed briefly and quietly exhaled in relief.

Good thing this blind spot was under my control—no one was monitoring it, or I'd have been spotted the moment I stepped out.

After pretending to stake out for a while, Fang Yue slipped away quietly.

As he located the Eagle Caravan's position, Fang Yue pondered how to clear his name.

In a way, they seem unaware of who I am.

If I show up in my true identity and take up a post in the Blue Office, then assist Dayang Fu, it wouldn't seem inappropriate.

Fang Yue thought so, but then remembered the Blue Office's high-ups might have Phoenix Organization members—and that he was the culprit behind the destruction of Heiqing Shanmai—so he sighed.

His Blue Office identity won't be able to take real effect anytime soon.

Arriving at the Eagle Caravan, Fang Yue observed and found its personnel numbers were extremely high, and every single one was skilled.

No wonder it's the seventh-ranked caravan in the 【Heavenly Trade Alliance】—its defensive strength is formidable.

Fang Yue weighed the power gap between both sides and furrowed his brow.

One-on-one, he wasn't afraid of Rabbit Seat—after all, according to Yang Hongxia's intel, Rabbit Seat's strength was roughly Human-Class Mid-Level.

But with all those guards plus potential Phoenix Organization operatives lurking nearby, it'd get complicated.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yue observed for a moment, found a secluded corner, scaled the wall swiftly, landed inside, and slid smoothly into the nearby grass, steadying his breath.

The Eagle Caravan's courtyard was much larger than expected, and its guards were relatively densely deployed.

Fang Yue guessed this level of alertness shouldn't be normal—such manpower and resource expenditure was enormous; even the Eagle Caravan wouldn't waste like this.

Most likely, with the 【Martial Duel】 approaching, everyone was flooding into Chunuan City, a mix of good and bad, so they'd hired extra guards for the mansion's safety.

This made Fang Yue's infiltration extremely troublesome.

Fortunately, Fang Yue moved swiftly; wrapped in black mist, he instantly reached the next hiding spot, pressing tightly against the wall.

The glow of Human Soul candles appeared ahead—Fang Yue hurried along the wall, slipping into a room first.

"Who?!"

A sharp cry from the dark room shattered the silence.

Fang Yue's face darkened.

Damn! Don't you sleep at night?! How the hell did you sense someone entering?!

Without hesitation, Fang Yue burst through the door, leaped up, cleared the wall, and escaped before the other guards could react.

Infiltration really isn't his strength.

"I need to study the Eagle Caravan's patrol routes and find a good chance to sneak in and capture Rabbit Seat."

Fang Yue summarized his experience, while behind him, the Eagle Caravan was already in chaos.

Back at the inn, he shed his mist-form black robe, arranged the room, and sat down, ignoring the outside world entirely, beginning meditation and Heart Method cultivation.

Lately, he'd vaguely felt his Martial Techniques were nearing breakthrough.

After all, he was already Xiantian First-Rate Realm—practicing those lagging Martial Techniques naturally gave him extra boosts.

Also, internal energy remained Fang Yue's biggest weakness so far—that's why he risked it to cultivate Heart Methods.

As green light emanated from his body, when dawn broke, the green glow suddenly flared intensely—seemed… greener than before.

System Prompt: Congratulations, player 【Yese Liming】, your cultivation has succeeded. 【Pan Shu Heart Method】 has advanced to Level Three. Internal Energy increased by 1500 points. Unload Value increased by 800 points.

Level Three!

Internal Energy had finally increased again; the added Unload Value smoothly converted into 【Realm Breakthrough Progress】.

Name: Pan Shu Heart Method.

Level: Xiantian Third-Rate.

Tier: Level Three / Total Three Levels.

Requirements: 500 Control Value, 500 Unload Value, Xiantian Realm.

Description: Imagine yourself as a great tree, absorbing the essence of day and night—this Heart Method's progress advances slowly at all times. But if you cultivate it fully, you burn twice the lifespan compared to ordinary Heart Methods.

Effect: Increases Unload Value by 1000 points. Slightly enhances Qi and Blood recovery speed.

Note: I am the tree. The tree is me.

Fang Yue rarely used Pan Shu Heart Method—usually just let it run passively.

After all, it was just a transitional Heart Method, cultivated only to purge impurities and facilitate focused Ice Heart Method training—in short, a tool Heart Method.

Now that Pan Shu Heart Method had reached its maximum tier, all that remained was to fully cultivate Yue Heart Method—once he reached Human-Class Realm, he could try learning Lord Han's inherited Heart Method.

Also, increased Internal Energy meant increased 【Weird Value】, boosting actual combat power to some degree.

After all, what Fang Yue lacked most was Internal Energy and Weird Value; the only pity was that if Internal Energy had impurities, Weird Value's potency would synchronize and be affected.

Finishing up, Fang Yue stepped out the inn's front door in his usual form—the black ring atop his head.

But the moment he stepped out…

Drip.

A damp, chilly drop landed on his cheek.

What the hell is this thing?

The familiar sensation of being struck countless times left Fang Yue momentarily stunned.

When he raised his head to look upward, he saw…

Drip.

Another drop of rainwater fell from the black ring, dripping onto his cheek, and at the same time, a system prompt of '-1' popped up above his head!

Night… Rain?!

After a brief daze, Fang Yue's pupils contracted sharply, and a storm of shock surged in his heart.

This thing — the thing above his head — was actually dropping 【Night Rain】!

Although right now it was like a tightly shut faucet leaking, dripping down drop by drop, smacking onto his head.

But the problem was… god knew what this thing would turn into later!

A flash of terror crossed Fang Yue's eyes.

A moving Night Rain, forever following him, fixed above his head — what a terrifying thing that would be.

Fang Yue called himself the Night God of War, but he had never endured 【Fierce Rain】, let alone the fact that if it were daytime, ordinary 【Night Rain】 would already be more than Fang Yue could handle.

In his panic, Fang Yue rushed to the nearest few medical halls, but the result was…

"Unprecedented in my life! No medicine can cure it!"

"What a curse, terrifying beyond compare!"

"Eat well, drink well, sleep well, lie down well."

"Do you have any family? I can help notify them to come collect the body."
