Chapter 1288 - 1288: Speaking of Prey, Prey Appears

Confusion and chaos immediately ensued when the Twelfth Unit assassins saw the unit chief being killed so easily, without knowing when the enemy had taken action. And that made them know that the enemy was not as easy as they thought. They were not even a match for this mysterious young man.

Escape! Quickly! Are you waiting for your papa to open the celebration?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

All the remaining assassins immediately tried to escape from there. And of course, they did not all go in the same direction. The Twelfth Unit had brought fifteen people to carry out this mission, but the clash during the previous mission had left them with only twelve people. Therefore, dispersing and fleeing was the best option they could think of.

Thinking of escape? It's not that easy!

The mysterious young man's hoarse and harsh voice rang out when he saw that the assassins of the Twelfth Unit were trying to escape. The young man raised his hand to chest level before a number of small needles appeared on his palm. Then, those needles were thrown in all directions where all the assassins were fleeing.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Stab! Stab! Stab!

Arrrrrrrgh!!!

Arrrgh!!! Arrrgh!!!

Not long after those needles were thrown, screams rang out simultaneously in all directions as the assassins fled. Even though they used their full speed to escape, it was still slower than the needles that the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity clone figure threw. Therefore, none of the assassins in the Twelfth Unit could survive anymore.

Mission accomplished!

Yay! Yay! Yay!

The Emerald Turtle Monster Deity clone figure tried to praise and congratulate himself after he had successfully completed his mission. But his actions were more creepy than happy. That was because his voice was strange and not human at all. It was a voice that was a mix between a beast and a mindless demon with a high tone.

Next target!

But not long after, the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity clone figure's gaze and demeanor turned cold and calm again, before it muttered something and soared away from there, leaving behind only the corpses of the Dark Crescent Secret Force's assassins lying in the forest without a place to be buried. Of course, before the clone figure left, it had taken all the dimension rings and the valuable treasures of those assassins. Furthermore, it did not forget to leave some items at the scene to help Zheng-Fu's plan be even more complete, and that item was the symbol of the Men Clan.

After the Twelfth Unit was dealt with, the next target of the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity clone figure was the Eleventh Unit, which was not far away. It only took about ten minutes for it to arrive at the Eleventh Unit's resting place. And of course, the incident that had happened to the Twelfth Unit had also happened to the Eleventh Unit, before it was the turn of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Units. Emerald Turtle Monster Deity clone figure only took an hour; those four assassin units were eliminated.

Back to Zheng-Fu…

While walking through the corridor that led from the entrance to the first main area of the force, Zheng-Fu quickly inscribed nets of spell traps on the wall. If anyone looked at him, they would only see him walking while continuously touching the wall with his hand. Or even if they looked at the wall, they would not know that there were nets of spell traps inscribed on it.

That was because Zheng-Fu made them tiny and blended them with the wall as much as possible. Also, he used thin energy to inscribe them, making it difficult for anyone to sense them.

So, Zheng-Fu had to inscribe many spell traps on the walls of this corridor all the way, making them connect to each other like a network. Although each trap had a thin power, when they worked together, their destructive energy would not be thin at all.

Even the seventh level of the Great Deity Stage master could die if he walked into this corridor while these nets of spell traps were working. And even those at the eighth level of the Great Deity Stage could be severely injured. Only those at the ninth level and above could resist and not be affected much.

As Zheng-Fu finished inscribing the last spell trap, he was contacted by the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity clone figure, stating that the mission he had assigned had been accomplished. Zheng-Fu smiled in satisfaction before hurriedly walking back to Lou-Seng's quarters to wait for the report from the Thirteenth Unit members he had sent out to find information.

In a room at the base of the Dark Crescent Secret Force...

Report, sir, Unit Chief!

What's up?

"We can capture the communication jade signals of the four other unit chiefs that were sent out on the mission, sir!"

The Force's Communications Unit personnel immediately reported to the middle-aged unit chief as soon as he was able to capture the communication jade signals of the four unit chiefs that they had tried to contact earlier.

What?!

"Did anyone respond? Where are they now?"

The Communications Unit Chief immediately asked his subordinates. Hearing that, his heart was beating fast. This Communications Unit Chief was the Ninth Unit Chief of the Dark Crescent Secret Force, and he was the one who had spoken to the Seventh Unit Chief earlier. After he returned to the Communications Unit's work area, he tried his best to contact and capture the communication jade signals of the other four unit chiefs.

Finally, he received the report. And he wanted to know immediately whether the four Unit Chiefs were still alive or killed.

"Hmm… We tried to contact them, but... no one replied, sir. As for their location, we've confirmed that it's the mission area they were assigned to. But we don't know whether they're alive or dead," the man replied with great concern because the information he received was very little, and he did not have the authority to do more than that.

Umm!

When the Ninth Unit Chief heard that, his face changed slightly but soon returned to normal. He understood what his subordinates were thinking and worrying about.

"Never mind! I'll handle this matter myself. You just go back and monitor the signals from their communication jades. If there's any movement or it's destroyed, report to me immediately!"

Understood, sir!

"So strange! This is so strange. But I must find out!"

The more the Ninth Unit Chief thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he could not find any evidence to confirm his suspicions. However, he did not give up and continued to investigate.

In the area of the Thirteenth Unit, in the unit chief's office…

"Report, sir, Unit Chief."

What's up?!

"This is the report you requested, sir. We've collected as much information as we can, sir."

Good!

"You can go now."

Yes, sir!

Shortly after Zheng-Fu returned to the Thirteenth Unit area, a subordinate brought a report as he had ordered. After Zheng-Fu received the report, he quickly ordered the man to leave the unit chief's office before he hurriedly checked the information he had received.

A few minutes later…

"It seems that this assassin force is more complicated than I thought."

From the report, Zheng-Fu learned that the Dark Crescent Secret Force was not truly united. They were clearly divided into factions. Only a few units were neutral, such as Lou-Seng's Thirteenth Unit, which did not align with either side because he wanted to gain benefits from both sides.

Because of this, the unit chiefs who lost benefits because of Lou-Seng's actions thought that Lou-Seng was cunning and unreliable. However, many people admired and liked his work. From the new information, it seemed that three of the four unit chiefs who went on missions with the Thirteenth Unit supported the Vice Big Chief's faction, while the other unit chief supported the current Big Chief faction.

As mentioned earlier, the force was divided into factions. The most obvious were the Big Chief's faction and the Vice Big Chief's faction, who wanted to take over the position. Therefore, the internal war was very intense. This time, the Vice Big Chief's faction lost three supporters at once, making them more active.

"My original plan was to create resentment between the Dark Crescent Secret Force and the Men Clan. But with the internal war in the force, I have had to change my plan a little. Otherwise, my plan will be in vain!"

After analyzing the new information, Zheng-Fu thought that he might have to change his plan a little. If he did not change it, everything he had done would be in vain. Of course, this change of plan would have to involve a crucial variable, which was the Vice Big Chief.

"By the way, I have never seen the Vice Big Chief before. Where is he?!"

However, Zheng-Fu suddenly remembered that he had not seen Vice Big Chief attend the meeting before, only Big Chief and two other important elders.

Flop!

Thirteenth Unit Chief!

What happened?

"Vice Big Chief called you, sir. He's waiting in the Black Iron Room right now."

Hmm!

'Speaking of prey, prey appears.'

Zheng-Fu was thinking about where he could find the Vice Big Chief. He did not expect that person to personally introduce himself to him. How could he refuse the other party's invitation? However, Zheng-Fu pretended to be in deep thought and frowned so that the person who came to report would not be suspicious and not think that he was acting strangely. Before he nodded and said, "I understood."

Then I'll take my leave!

Flop!

When the man who came to report saw that Zheng-Fu had accepted the invitation, he immediately disappeared with a special assassin movement skill. For an ordinary person, this action would have been shocking, but Zheng-Fu could tell that the man had simply erased his existence and moved at a speed so silent that it seemed as if he had never existed. However, the matter of the man was not something Zheng-Fu cared about. What he was interested in was the reason why Vice Big Chief called for Lou-Seng.
