Chapter 1236 - 546: Knocking on the Door (Part 2)

Fang Yu was slightly stunned.

"He also betrayed us? I’m going to find that old man and settle the score!"

Fang Yu was instantly furious. Why does everyone want to mess with them!

"That old man is just a middleman. What’s the use of finding him? Our information has probably already been sold by him. We may have uninvited visitors tonight, most likely from other organizations."

Fang Yu was puzzled.

"Who would be targeting us? Is our information really that valuable?"

Ding Hui said as he placed a note by the candle and burned it to ashes.

"Diao Deyi, I think you don’t have a correct understanding of our value."

"Firstly, in the eyes of those old friends... I’m from Tianyuan Town."

"That... currently known as Demon City, the most mysterious place in the vicinity, attracting the most attention and discussion recently."

"You and I have personally experienced that night of destruction. We know how Tianyuan Town has crumbled step by step. But this new secret is extremely mysterious and valuable to people from the outside, especially those in Thunder City."

Ding Hui pointed to his own head.

"The information about Tianyuan Town we have in our minds is a treasure trove of value to many in Thunder City."

"Not to mention, with your current capabilities as a demon martial artist and a believer, you may not feel it yourself, but if this got exposed in Thunder City, you might be captured and studied to death, never to be released."

Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Who would dare mess with me!"

If they block me, I’ll kill them! No mercy!

"Don’t rush. I know you’re strong, but don’t forget, Thunder City is home to the Ten Major Families. They control the Ten Pillars that govern Thunder City, and those ten towering pillars are not just for show. Even if the Hall Master of the Underworld came, facing these ten pillars and the Ten Major Families, he would have to bow down."

Hall Master?

What is a Hall Master? I’m someone who can slay even a Demon Leader of eighty thousand blood points!

Though he said that, Fang Yu was actually feeling apprehensive inside.

He had little knowledge about arrays, but whether it was the great array of Tianyuan Town before or the great array of Sunset City, they both had terrifying effects.

The Ten Pillars of Thunder City might have some strange means, and he was not confident in directly confronting the ten pillars empowered by the Ten Major Families.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local tyrant.

Not to mention, Fang Yu was tight on attribute points and couldn’t just unleash his demonization and Yuan Demon Body carelessly. Even if he could, he wouldn’t go head-to-head with a local tyrant.

"Wait a minute!"

Fang Yu suddenly realized.

"How did it turn into me having to fight the Ten Major Families? I just wanted to find someone!"

Ding Hui covered her mouth and laughed.

"That’s why I told you not to rush. Let’s take it slow. Thunder City is right here and only lets people in, not out. If your big brother is in Thunder City, he can’t leave either, and eventually, you’ll find him."

Of course, there’s another possibility Ding Hui didn’t mention because it wasn’t necessary.

Once they find the slave trading organization, some things will come to light.

After all, as the residence of Hui Yao, Thunder City doesn’t seem to show any signs of slave trading.

Of course, it’s just that they haven’t dug deep enough.

Once they truly interact with those people, the shady dealings lurking in the shadows will naturally surface.

"Ding Hui, you said someone might come tonight? If we capture those people and question who’s behind them, do you think there’ll be any gain?"

Fang Yu pondered and asked.

"It could alert them, but it’s worth a try. You decide."

Ding Hui, during her days wandering in the world, had mediocre strength and relied on her seasoned experience to avoid danger.

A head-on approach like Fang Yu’s was never in Ding Hui’s consideration.

But now, with someone as formidable as Fang Yu, they had room for some flexibility.

"Should we move inns?"

"No, if we intend to seize the initiative, we must show our stance. If we run away, the counter-strategy’s effectiveness will significantly diminish."

Fang Yu couldn’t understand Ding Hui’s roundabout ways.

All he knew was, tonight, whoever comes, dies!

...

Qin Er received a mission, a task from the Rebel Army.

Her task was to stay at the White Cloud Inn, room Jiazi Second Room, for three days.

This was her first mission after she and the scar-faced man joined the Rebel Army. In the scar-faced man’s words, this mission was a pledge of loyalty!

It was to show loyalty, to show an attitude, and only in this way could they gain recognition from the Rebel Army and truly integrate into the organization!

Therefore, this mission could not fail. It could only succeed!

"Wha- what should I do?"

Qin Er’s hands were trembling.

She felt fear, but she had no choice but to face it.

She heard that recently, many demons had appeared in the city, and demons were man-eaters.

She feared death, but feared even more being killed and devoured by demons!

Although the Rebel Army was an underground organization that opposed the Ten Major Families, to win the people’s hearts and support, the Rebel Army was equally aggressive in its campaign against the demons!

Many demons, after being killed, would have their heads displayed publicly as the Rebel Army’s victory, winning the favor of the people.

So Qin Er was very worried that she was being sent to feed the demons, or as bait to lure them out.

After all... she knew nothing, just an ordinary woman, what role could she play in the Rebel Army except acting as bait...

Despite trying to control herself, Qin Er’s voice was already mixed with sobs, and at this time, the scar-faced man reassured her.

"Don’t be afraid. I specifically asked someone. Your task is just to eavesdrop through the wall on all the movements in the target room from the room next door to the target."

"Su-surveillance task?"

Qin Er asked uncertainly.

"It should be."

Qin Er immediately sighed with relief.

Yes, for someone like her who had no special skills and hadn’t even learned martial arts, what else could she do but pose as an ordinary person and be responsible for surveillance work?

However... considering that even the Rebel Army needed to listen in on and monitor the person, she highly suspected whether that person was a demon or perhaps a throroughly evil person... she just hoped a mere glance wouldn’t make them inexplicably want to kill her...

Mustering all her courage, Qin Er arrived at the White Cloud Inn.

"Shop-shopkeeper, give me an upper room."

"Sure thing, honored guest, please head upstairs!"

Upper rooms were not commonly occupied, and when they were, it was by esteemed guests.

Esteemed guests, as the name implied, because the upper room was somewhat expensive, not something ordinary people could afford.

So the waiter leading the way took a couple more glances at the beautiful lady, secretly speculating which family’s missy was out having fun.

Qin Er was very nervous, but still spoke up as she passed room number 2.

"This one, please."

An inn’s upper rooms weren’t plentiful, but there were choices nonetheless.

"Sure thing, please follow me."

The waiter opened the door for Qin Er.

Upon entering the room, Qin Er felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.

The money for the room was provided by the organization.

The Rebel Army wasn’t afraid of anyone running away with the money, for Rebel Army’s money wasn’t easy to take.

Ever since she was conscious, Qin Er had been following the scar-faced man, hiding everywhere, and Thunder City was like a cage that trapped her, almost never allowing her to enjoy such a large room and comfortable bed.

"I’m very satisfied with the room; I like it quiet. If there’s nothing, please don’t disturb me."

"Yes!"

The waiter tactfully retreated, and after the initial excitement, Qin Er quickly remembered the task at hand.

She hurriedly pressed her ear against the wall, eager to hear the sounds next door.

Very faint.

It seemed like someone was talking next door, but through the thick wall, she couldn’t make out what was being said.

How could she monitor the movements next door?

Qin Er felt anxious but helpless, for she hadn’t learned any martial arts to enhance her hearing; not hearing was truly not hearing.

However, she did not give up; instead, she continued pressing against the wall, listening intently to any sounds.

Perhaps due to her intense focus, or perhaps she was too engrossed, the ear not pressed against the wall suddenly caught the sound of knocking.

Knock knock knock!

The sound came from the door of her room!

Someone was knocking at her door!
