Chapter 216 - 212: At First, He Was Just Undercover to Get an Identity (3)
The female housekeeper gloated, but she also frowned.
’It was certainly a relief that the Young Master was in seclusion and couldn’t take Liang Yu out.’
’But now I can’t see him either!’
’Oh, Young Master, Young Master, it’s best to balance work and rest.’
’There are so many beauties in the house, all waiting eagerly for you! Why are you always in seclusion?’
[Stealth Technique, Master (211/3000)]
He had gained 210 Experience Points in one night.
Tang Wen felt some of his tension ease.
At this rate, it would only take fourteen or fifteen nights to raise his Stealth Technique to the Master Level.
’Hmm, let’s just say twenty days.’
After all, crossing a level threshold also took time.
’At that point, a Master Level Stealth Technique should be enough to fool the Gang Leader, right?’
After all, the Stealth Technique was a Visualization Martial Art.
Still, Tang Wen wasn’t entirely confident.
’Is there a faster way?’
Tang Wen woke up during the day.
First, he used his Spiritual Power to contact the Brown-tailed Crow, the Beast Taming Sand Wolf, and the Blood Crow.
It was worth mentioning that with his current Spiritual Power, he could maintain contact with his tamed beasts within a radius of hundreds of miles.
The Brown-tailed Crow was handling surveillance for the entire city.
It relayed an important piece of information.
The flock of crows had failed to advance into the Inner City.
Three days ago, another batch of young crows in the Brown-tailed Crow’s army had reached adulthood.
The newly adult crows were lively and full of energy.
The Brown-tailed Crow sent ten of them into the Inner City.
A few minutes later, it lost contact with them.
Not daring to be careless, it then sent in a few more batches of older crows.
The result was no different.
They would inexplicably lose contact.
It could only be described as unexpected, yet understandable.
Tang Wen had paid attention to the Inner City and asked many people about it.
His subordinate Wu Hao was unwilling to go.
He claimed the people of the Inner City were arrogant, the three great families kept to themselves, and there was constant friction.
The atmosphere throughout the Inner City was very oppressive.
Even though Wu Hao was a Martial Artist, in the Inner City, even a slave from the Huang Family would dare to give him a dirty look.
Except for the merchants who wanted to make money off the three great families, even their peripheral clan members didn’t want to stay in the Inner City, constantly flocking to the Outer City instead.
In the Inner City, the three great families were absolute.
Their methods were domineering yet meticulous; naturally, they had long since taken precautions against aerial surveillance.
He didn’t know what methods they used to prevent the crows from relaying information.
Once past the Inner City walls, they couldn’t even fly steadily.
After a moment of thought, Tang Wen issued a mental command to the Brown-tailed Crow: ’Select three hundred of your strongest crows. Find Li Zi and have her feed you High-grade Exotic Beast Meat.’
What?
Li Zi doesn’t have any High-grade Exotic Beast Meat?
’She’s an Extraordinary. Can’t she figure it out herself?’
Compared to the Brown-tailed Crow, the Beast Taming Sand Wolf was living the high life.
Mating, mating, mating. This lord was getting bored!
A moment of post-coital clarity.
’This lord will never mate again.’
An extra meal of Low-level Exotic Beast Sheep was served. After eating the sheep’s penis and testicles...
The Sand Wolf perked right up. ’Where are the bitches and the she-wolves?’
’Bring ’em on!’
’This lord can still take on ten more!’
Tang Wen curled his lip.
’That wolf’s living a better life than I am.’
’Now get to work and practice your Wind Control ability!’
Tang Wen issued the command!
The High-level Exotic Beast Sand Wolf scrambled up from on top of a snow-white she-wolf.
It let out a few whimpers in Tang Wen’s direction.
The she-wolf watched, confused. ’Everything was fine a moment ago. What’s wrong, can’t you perform anymore?’
Finally, there was the Blood Crow.
The Blood Crow was out in the wilderness, eating dust.
For two days, it had been circling above a desolate hill in the wilderness.
This was the rendezvous point Tang Wen and Bai You Ruo had agreed upon.
Finally, last night, someone had ridden up on a horse.
They circled the hill three times to the left and three times to the right, repeating the pattern several times according to the agreed-upon signal.
The Blood Crow dropped the letter to the rider and flew back to General Zhao’s side.
「Inside the southern mountain stronghold.」
Inside a stone chamber, Bai You Ruo, Bai Xue, and a burly, dark-faced man were flipping through the portraits sent by Tang Wen one by one.
The dark-faced man spoke. "It’s the exploration team, alright. They’re not even in disguise! But, Miss, you said this information came from the Seventh Young Master of the Black Water Gang? Is he... reliable?"
The expression of the normally heroic and composed Bai You Ruo became complicated. "At first, I just had him go undercover to get an identity in Ganshan City. Who knew that after a few months of no contact, he’d become the Seventh Young Master..."
