Chapter 546 - 258: Target, Jiang Chengyue

"After that battle, the senior’s origin was severely damaged, and his realm fell. Although he barely stabilized later, he could never return to the peak, and his lifespan was greatly reduced."

"Now he is over 150 years old, the most respected Stabilizing Needle in Glazed Light City and even on the entire Arctic Front. His existence is one of the core arrays of the Glazed Light City’s defense system, and indeed, he must not act rashly."

Wei Banmeng apparently gathered some information about the Jiang Family after deciding to come to Glazed Light City, hence his detailed explanation.

Listening to Wei Banmeng’s narrative, Fang Qingyu’s doubts in his heart were somewhat alleviated.

He had also heard of Jiang Taixuan’s deeds, indeed a venerable old hero.

A 150-year-old Martial Saint with a damaged origin indeed should not be easily activated.

The front line is tight, with all Tier Three standing at the forefront, which seems reasonable too.

"Alright." Fang Qingyu slowly nodded, the coldness in his Molten Gold Vertical Pupils slightly easing, "We’ll take this mission."

Chen Ming was greatly relieved, the bitterness on his face instantly replaced with immense joy, and he repeatedly bowed, "That’s great! Thank you so much, Captain Fang and everyone, you truly understand great righteousness! I, on behalf of the Jiang Family, on behalf of Glazed Light City, thank you all for your helping hand!"

"The detailed information of the target, several known suspicious hideouts, as well as his cultivation technique characteristics and combat habit analysis, I will send to all of you immediately. If there’s any need for support, please contact me at the first moment! I’m on standby 24/7!"

After saying that, he picked up his phone and sent the encrypted information packet to Fang Qingyu and the other four.

Mission confirmed, Chen Ming did not stay long.

After expressing gratitude once more, he left in haste, as if a burden of a thousand pounds had been lifted.

Fang Qingyu and his group immediately opened their phones, receiving and carefully reading the detailed information sent by Chen Ming.

The information was very detailed, including Jiang Chengyue’s detailed life, interpersonal network, personality analysis, characteristics of each move of the "Sky Splitting Blade Technique" he was proficient in, decryption ideas, even his possible disguised identities and maps of a few most likely hiding areas.

"This guy... is really a tough nut."

Chu Kuanglan, looking at the record of Jiang Chengyue’s past achievements and saber technique features described in the data, clicked his tongue, "The saber is ridiculously fast, the power is fierce, and he is especially good at using the environment for guerrilla fighting... troublesome."

"The information is comprehensive, it seems that even within the Jiang Family, they are deeply resentful of him, and have put great effort into investigating."

Wei Banmeng calmly analyzed, "The suspicious areas that Chen Ming gave, the ’Cold Iron’ factory district in the south of the city, the ’Old Ice House’ affordable housing group near the inner harbor, and the ’Gray Rat’ underground black market in the west of the city... all are places with complex terrain, high people flow, and easy hiding."

Lu Jiuyuan, holding his saber, with sharp eyes: "The range is too large, checking one by one, time-consuming and laborious, and easy to alert the target."

Fang Qingyu turned off his phone and stood up, "Looking at the data alone is useless."

"Let’s go, and first look around these places to get a sense of the situation. We are newcomers to Glazed Light City, which is a disadvantage, but also an advantage. He knows all the Jiang Family members but does not necessarily know us."

"Alright!" Chu Kuanglan immediately perked up, "So how do we go? Taxi?"

Fang Qingyu shook his head, his gaze looking towards the shimmering city outside the window, "No rush. Since we’re newcomers, let’s first wander around this city. Familiarizing ourselves with the environment is also part of the mission. Let’s go."

The five of them left the Observatory Suite and slowly descended in that transparent glazed elevator.

The elevator doors opened, hitting them with a lively and bustling atmosphere entirely different from the serene luxury above.

The few officially stepped into the streets of Glazed Light City.

The scene before them once again amazed the newcomers.

The streets were wide, paved with some kind of warm glowing stone, emitting a gentle milky white halo, clearly guiding direction even under the "Eternal Day Aurora Dome."

The buildings on both sides were mostly constructed of semi-transparent ice-blue crystal stone, with various shapes, some were sharp like ice crystal clusters, while others were smooth and elegant like flowing water.

Huge screens played front-line war reports, recruitment propaganda, and Aurora Crystal advertisements.

And the people on the streets...

Almost no ordinary people were seen, the pedestrians walking with steady gait, exuding a calm aura, with sharp glances.

Martial Arts Apprentices were everywhere, Martial Artists were seen at every turn, even Tier Two Martial Arts Grandmasters were not uncommon.

As Yan Shouzheng said, here, a Tier Two Grandmaster really is nothing special.

Chu Kuanglan, curious like a child, looked around, amazed, "My goodness, casually pulling someone off the street here, they would be a master in a small city."

"No wonder a mission to catch a traitor would fall to us, it seems the city’s experts are either desperately fighting on the front line, nursing wounds, or perhaps looking down on this kind of ’dirty work’?"

Wei Banmeng whispered, "There is also a possibility that within the Jiang Family, some forces are inconvenient to use, or are not trustworthy."

Fang Qingyu silently observed.

The further they walked towards the suspicious areas marked by Chen Ming, the style of the buildings began to become rugged, the purity of the crystal stones seemed to decline, mixed with more metal structures, and the streets appeared slightly narrower and more cluttered.

Besides the energy aura of crystal stones, there was also a hint of engine oil, sweat, and a faint smell of blood?

That was wafting out from shops with signs like "War Trophy Purchase," "Weapon Repair," "Fast Healing."

The first place they arrived at was the first suspicious area marked on the map.

The "Old Ice House" affordable housing group near the inner harbor.

Here the buildings were densely packed, like a hive, made of heavy special concrete and recycled metal panels, the surfaces covered with anti-freezing coatings, appearing somewhat shabby and oppressive.
