Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 601 [Bonus chapter]Negotiation (2)

　　Hearing the threat, veins bulged on Long Xu’s head. He really wanted to pounce forward and smash his fist towards the man in front of him. However, he knew that being reckless wouldn’t do them any good.

Lou was also following Long Qian Xing and stayed at the back. He was more familiar with this kind of skill and environment. Even he felt that the situation was not really good considering that these people were all surrounding them and had considerable skill.

If they attacked, there was no doubt that not all of them would be able to get out of alive.

”Since you’re not attacking directly, is there any room for negotiation?” Long Qian Xing was calm. “You’re in Fei Yang Kingdom’s territory and do you think that you can go rampart without our supervision?”

The man in black clothes looked at Long Qian Xing with sinister gaze. “Do you really think that we’ll be controlled just because you say so, Long Qian Xing? What makes you so confident? The sword behind your back or the fact that you’re the sword of that person?”

Sword of that person?

Long Qian Xing’s gaze deepened. He looked at the man in black clothes in front of him and realized that his information was already handed in silver platter for these people. It seemed that the fact that he was Emperor Yang Zhou’s real right hand was not a secret for these people.

If this leaked out before he consolidated his power and become a general, it would cause him numerous troubles.

”Dark Moon Organization sure lives up to their name.” Long Qian Xing took a deep breath. “To be able to shake the entire Fei Yang Kingdom through various missions is indeed very remarkable. I wonder what would you do if those places were brought under the light. After all, the Red District might even be cleaner.”

Most of the information gathering location for Dark Moon Organization was indeed in Red District. It was one of the few places that they could use freely in order to gain a lot of information since many people were unknowingly let word slip out of their mouth.

The man in black clothing snorted. “Fei Yang Kingdom is not the only place for us to develop. And if you think that we wouldn’t dare to harm you, you’re wrong.”

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He took a step forward and something flashed in front of him. Before he could react, he felt pain at the side of his neck. Raising his hand, he could sense that a needle had passed through his neck, lightly scratching him and blood seeped out.

”Master!” Long Xu panicked. If that needle contained poison, it would be bad for Long Qian Xing.

”I’m fine.”

Long Qian Xing wiped his neck and looked into the distance. That needle didn’t come from any of the people around him that he had detected their presence. Instead, it was coming from somewhere else. Someone was watching his every movement and didn’t hesitate to give him a warning.

If that person had wanted to kill him while keeping his distance and presence, Long Qian Xing had to believe that he would definitely die.

’To think there’s an expert of this level in Dark Moon Organization.’

As thoughts swirled inside Long Qian Xing’s head, he turned to look at the black clothed man. Even though the black clothed man kept his composure, Long Qian Xing could sense that he was also surprised.

The black clothed man shouldn’t be that high ranking in Dark Moon Organization’s structure.

”I would like to propose an exchange of information.” Long Qian Xing looked at the black clothed man in front of him. “I don’t think it’s impossible to do, right?”

”Only if you have the means to do so.”

Long Qian Xing took out a token from his pocket and threw it towards the black clothed man. The black clothed man looked at the token and stared at the exquisite writing on top of it.

’Zhi’

It was part of the word ‘Shu Zhi’ which meant branches.

Because Nan Hua was using the term tree when she first established the information gathering, Si Mo Fan then used it to reorganize the internal structure. Of course, behind the plate was still the same moon word (Yue) that they used previously.

Root (Gen) consisted of Si Mo Fan and the other numbered experts. Shu Gan (tree trunk), Shu Zhi (tree branches), Shu Ye (leaves), were the other rankings for the others who had quite high ranking. In fact, the black clothed man himself was only a Shu Zhi.

The lowest of them were Shui Guo (fruits) because they were how Dark Moon Organization called those who only came once and do missions occasionally. To become a formal member, they would have to enter rigorous training and so on.

”I didn’t know where you get this, but since you have it, you can meet with the others.” The black clothed man looked at Long Qian Xing. “This is not enough for you to meet the Leaders.”

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He took a long time in order to be able to get this token because it was not easy to get. But it was actually not enough for him to meet with the leaders?

It seemed that he had to be satisfied with meeting some other.

”In that case, could you please lead the way?”

The black clothed man snorted and threw the token back to Long Qian Xing. He turned around and walked in the direction of another area.

Xia Mountains were vast.

Instead of bringing Long Qian Xing to the restricted area, there were other open areas that could be used. A small valley between two mountains had a secluded house that was often used by those who wanted to meet with the Shu Gan members. And to meet them, they had to be at least Shu Zhi.

Swish! Swish!

Most of the men in the shadow left because they were not qualified to listen. They also didn’t dare to break the protocol because it would result in their deaths.
