Chapter 374 Intelligence

Yan Huang Fei Huo (Flying Sword) (Red): Blazing world's flame, burning heaven's fire. Forged from the primordial fire of the highest heavens, it is a pair with Jing Lei Zi Dian.

Jing Lei Zi Dian, Yan Huang Fei Huo (Collected): 2/2

Jie Huo (After Yan Huang Fei Huo hits a target, there is a 30% chance to inflict a burning status on the target for 15 seconds)

Fei Huo (When controlling Yan Huang Fei Huo as a sword, it can transform into a flying fire for attack. Within a three-meter radius, all targets are within the splash range of arc fire attacks)

Jie Huo Shao Tian Jian Zhen (Yan Huang Fei Huo transforms into flames to set up a formation. Within its coverage, fire attribute attack power is enhanced by 100%, and lightning is absorbed to continuously restore stamina and heal injuries. This sword formation affects both allies and enemies)

Lei Huo Jie Tian (Jing Lei Zi Dian and Yan Huang Fei Huo can set up a sword formation simultaneously. The effects of lightning and Jie Huo can stack and provide a 15% amplification)

Shuang Jian He Bing (When Jing Lei Zi Dian and Yan Huang Fei Huo are controlled as swords simultaneously, lightning and fire overlap, amplifying power by 50%)

Yu Sui (Self-destructing Jing Lei Zi Dian and Yan Huang Fei Huo to unleash a world-shattering strike)

...

The effects of Yan Huang Fei Huo are very similar to Jing Lei Zi Dian.

However, Bai Ye thought about it carefully and felt that this was stating the obvious. They were originally a pair of swords, and since they were a set, their effects were naturally similar. The key point was the significant additional amplification in power when used simultaneously.

When wielded individually, despite their apparent red quality, they were in fact only of black quality. But with both swords in hand, they truly became red quality flying swords.

Bai Ye gleefully had the Steel Slime swallow the flying sword. His Steel Slime's quality upgrade was approaching, with only over a hundred thousand growth points remaining.

Simultaneously, a new treasure was added to the Gate of Babylon.

"Pururu, pururu, pururu..."

At this moment, Gao Ming's Den Den Mushi rang.

Bai Ye picked it up casually and said with a smile, "I've received the items."

Gao Ming chuckled, "That's good."

Bai Ye said, "You gave them up so readily. It seems the matter went smoothly."

Gao Ming replied, "It's not entirely over yet. There are quite a few restricted zones, and we want to achieve something in that area, so we're conducting more thorough exploration. However, the information you provided was completely accurate, so we naturally had no reason to withhold the items."

Bai Ye asked, "So, the reason for contacting me is for more intel?"

Gao Ming honestly said, "It would be best, of course, but we don't urgently need it for now. We need at least a month to complete the exploration of all the black-clad individuals' restricted zones and some hidden quests. Moreover, the items produced in the dangerous areas there are also quite good."

Bai Ye inquired, "Then what is the reason for contacting me?"

Gao Ming replied, "You asked me to investigate something."

"Oh?" Bai Ye asked, "Liu Shi Yue?"

Gao Ming nodded, "Liu Shi Yue is the vice-chairman of the Cang Long Hui. His influence is very significant. Currently, the chairman of the Cang Long Hui is named Nan Liang, but Nan Liang, Liu Shi Yue, and another vice-chairman named Jin Jin Se are on equal footing."

Bai Ye remarked, "This structure is quite interesting. What's the reason?"

Gao Ming asked, "Do you know the origin of the Cang Long Hui?"

Bai Ye replied, "I know a little. They almost all come from an ability world, which is a naturally very powerful upper world. The Cang Long Hui was initially established by the chosen ones from that world after successfully leaving the world battlefield."

"The original intention, naturally, was to help the chosen ones from that world adapt better to the world battlefield. Also, by gathering people from the very beginning, they could establish advantages, control restricted zones, hunt others, and obtain more resources."

Gao Ming added, "Yes, and Liu Shi Yue's father is a core member of the Cang Long Hui, not a core member within the world battlefield, but outside of it. His father lived to the very end twenty years ago and successfully left the world battlefield."

Bai Ye suddenly realized, "No wonder the vice-chairman can be on equal footing with the chairman. Is the other one in a similar situation?"

Gao Ming explained, "Jin Jin Se is even more so. There were three founders of the Cang Long Hui, and one of them was her grandfather."

Bai Ye couldn't help but grin. What was this? A second-generation heir, a third-generation heir?

However, gaining power through background, but what about strength...

In any case, Bai Ye had never heard of these two people in his previous life. As for the chairman Nan Liang, Bai Ye had some impression. He was indeed the first chairman of the Cang Long Hui, although the position was later replaced.

Gao Ming continued, "Previously, Liu Shi Yue was in the Beast Taming Zone leading people to capture sea beasts."

Bai Ye asked, "Sea beasts?"

Gao Ming nodded, "Yes, they seem to be acquiring mountable sea beasts and are possibly preparing to go out to sea. The specifics are still unclear."

Bai Ye inquired, "Are they still in the Beast Taming Zone?"

Gao Ming replied, "That's also unclear. After all, he's a vice-chairman, not someone easily tracked. We can only infer their movements by monitoring the members of the Cang Long Hui. As it stands, they should have already acquired enough sea beasts."

Bai Ye nodded and said, "Help me keep an eye on them. I need to know Liu Shi Yue's whereabouts and where he's gone."

Gao Ming cautiously probed, "Bai Ye, why are you tracking Liu Shi Yue?"

Bai Ye didn't hide it and said directly, "He must die."

There was no need to conceal this matter.

Gao Ming would certainly not collude with the Cang Long Hui. The Evil Spirit Group was, after all, formed by leveraging the issue of the Cang Long Hui.

The future was uncertain, but as of now, since the Evil Spirit Group had declared its opposition to the Cang Long Hui, they had to stand on opposite sides for the Evil Spirit Group to have a legitimate cause.

Therefore, Bai Ye was not afraid of speaking his mind.

Furthermore, Bai Ye was well aware that Gao Ming was waiting for this answer.

With this answer, Gao Ming could wholeheartedly help him, as, being a core member of the Evil Spirit Group, Gao Ming would surely be pleased to see Liu Shi Yue die.

As for why?

That wasn't important.

Gao Ming's tone held a hint of excitement. He had indeed been waiting for this answer. He smiled and said, "Alright, I will personally oversee this matter. I'll contact you when there's news."

Bai Ye nodded, "Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

Bai Ye hung up the Den Den Mushi. He wasn't particularly anxious about Liu Shi Yue's matter.

Because, he was bound to die, by Bai Ye's own hand.

Bai Ye had gained benefits and had also made a promise to Jin Sha.

In a way, Bai Ye considered himself a person of his word.

As Bai Ye pondered, he stepped across the boundary of the area before him.

Passing through the surging light screen, Bai Ye was immediately met with the smell of gunpowder.

What appeared before Bai Ye was a dilapidated city. Buildings stood tall, but they had been abandoned for a long time, giving off an atmosphere of utter ruin. The deserted streets were littered with wrecked cars lying about haphazardly.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and couldn't help but spread his arms.

A familiar scent!
