Chapter 904: Hidden Door (4/2, Requesting Moon Tickets)

Fang Yue's cold voice made it clear he wasn't joking.

This made the Fifth Huang Nu laugh even harder.

The pressure of life and death, the crushing weight of approaching death, only made her feel more excited and thrilled!

But this time, I'll let it go.

Because a game needs to last to be fun.

If you spend all the enjoyment in one go, there'll be nothing left to play—and she understood that.

Her life only comes once; if Fang Yue killed her, she'd never experience this ultimate beauty again.

Moreover, Fang Yue's emergence as a variable made her find the situation extraordinarily interesting.

"Sure, I can tell you the information you want, but in return, I want you to do me a favor."

"What favor?"

"Kill my seventh younger brother."

The Seventh Huang Zi?

Fang Yue froze.

"Why? His strength should be inferior to yours—you're older and have trained far longer than the Seventh Huang Zi."

"No no no, that guy is special. I can see through all my other younger brothers and sisters, but him—I can't see through him. I can feel his danger, so handing this troublesome task to you is perfect."

"... I won't help you kill him."

Although the Seventh Huang Zi didn't seem as friendly toward him as he appeared, and had concealed the truth about Tian Ruichi, Fang Yue still didn't want to act against him—he was connected to You Sisi.

"That's a pity. If you helped me eliminate him, my path ahead would be smooth."

The Fifth Huang Nu narrowed her eyes, smiling, then said: "Even though you won't help me, my life is still in your hands, so I'll still give you the information you want."

"I never intended to kill you."

"Don't lie, okay? That killing intent that makes me tremble with excitement—it's been so long since I felt this youthful thrill. Doesn't matter—I don't mind others' killing intent. And you don't think I have only this much power, do you? Never underestimate any dragon—even a hatchling still has the ability to soar through the sky!"

Fang Yue shrugged; he didn't care about such things.

He knew the Fifth Huang Nu was hiding a deadly move—but so was he. If they truly fought, he had complete confidence he could annihilate her.

The Fifth Huang Nu was also a woman of her word; seeing the situation as it was, she began revealing information about the Phoenix Organization.

"About the Phoenix Organization, my intelligence is limited. Though many know Jingcheng is the organization's stronghold, actually uncovering its traces in Jingcheng is extremely difficult. Precisely because it's their home base, their operations are even more secretive and cautious."

"But according to my intelligence, the Phoenix Organization's recent activities have clearly increased—possibly linked to rumors I've heard."

"What rumors?"

"A faction opposing the Phoenix Organization has emerged within its ranks. But under the leadership of Heiyu, head of the Three Black Feathers, and Niu Zuo, head of the Twelve Seats, purging internal traitors shouldn't be a problem."

Niu Zuo?!

Fang Yue's pupils contracted.

"Do you know where Niu Zuo is?"

"That's like asking where the Phoenix Organization's base is—it's impossible to know. But..."

The Fifth Huang Nu dragged out her tone.

"According to my intelligence, quite a few of my siblings seem to have ties with the Phoenix Organization."

"... Your Black Moon Organization has ties with the Phoenix Organization—how dare you talk about others?"

"No no no, it's different. My connection with the Phoenix Organization is at most occasional dealings—only business. Among the other Huang Zi, there are definitely deeper collaborations. If you can capture them, you'll surely uncover the Phoenix Organization's whereabouts."

In the end, she was still asking him to kill someone.

But based on what he knew, the First Huang Zi definitely had ties with the Phoenix Organization—and they were connected to Niu Zuo!

He might even be the mastermind behind the Phoenix Organization: Feng Huang or Huang Hou.

If he truly wanted to investigate, the First Huang Zi was a good starting point.

"It's the Seventh Huang Zi! According to my investigation, the Seventh Huang Zi has deep cooperation with the Phoenix Organization!"

"... Oh."

"Really!"

"Mm."

"Sigh, why won't you believe me?"

Seeing the Fifth Huang Nu had nothing more to reveal, Fang Yue gave a glance to Weiba and Jing Yan, then led them away.

"Wait! Ye Hongyi, I have one more piece of information—do you want to hear it?"

"About what?"

The Fifth Huang Nu smiled mysteriously: "About the previous generation of refugees."

Previous generation of refugees?! Could it be... the beta testers?!

In a vast underground palace, beneath stone thrones, a man lay dead at Niu Zuo's sword.

"P... please..."

Ssshh—

Niu Zuo killed the man on the ground without expression.

Beside him stood Heiyu, head of the Three Black Feathers of the Phoenix Organization!

Heiyu's hawk-like sharp eyes fixed intently on Niu Zuo.

"Do you know? When I learned there was a traitor inside the Phoenix Organization, my first suspect was you."

"... Master Heiyu, I am utterly loyal to the Phoenix Organization, with no second thoughts."

"Hmph! Tell that lie to Huang Er! Don't think I don't know your intentions—don't let me catch you out. If I catch you once, I'll make sure you die without a grave."

The powerful aura unique to a Cloud-Level martial artist immediately pressed down on Ox Seat!

Before a Cloud-Level martial artist, Ox Seat, a Peak Human-Level cultivator, could only tremble all over, like a candle flickering in the wind, unable to bear the pressure.

"Your servant… doesn't know… what Black Hand Master is talking about…"

Black Hand let out a cold laugh and retracted his pressure.

He knew Ox Seat had some small tricks, some deceptions, but before absolute power, any conspiracy or scheme was useless.

Power, only power, the absolute pass, is the foundation of everything!

Without power, no matter what thoughts or intentions one has, they are useless!

"This area has been cleared. Let's return."

Just as Black Hand finished speaking, he suddenly sensed something, snapped his head up, and stared at the stone seat atop the steps.

Frowning, he hesitated, then climbed the steps to reach the stone seat.

"Black Hand Master?" Ox Seat asked behind him, confused.

"Don't speak."

Black Hand slowly traced his fingers along the stone seat's steps, soon seeming to discover something, his face lighting up with delight; he channeled his internal energy and poured it into the stone seat.

Boom—

The massive solid stone door behind the stone seat slowly opened, sliding horizontally aside!

"So there really is a hidden door! Come on, Ox Seat, follow me inside! Today I'll earn a great merit!"

Black Hand eagerly drew his sword and stepped inside, unaware that behind him, Ox Seat had stopped in place, motionless, his face dark as he stared at Black Hand's back.
