Super Gene Hunting Ground

That evening, the Second Elder of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce returned to the City of Hope with his people and handed Yang Xiao five billion Crystal Disks.

Duan Jinjiang felt a pang of heartache and forced a smile,

"Lord Yang, our Vulture Chamber of Commerce has painstakingly accumulated decades of assets, and now they’re all yours."

"President Duan, you must be joking. Everyone knows your Vulture Chamber of Commerce is wealthy. Just five billion Crystal Disks couldn’t possibly be all your assets."

"Sigh, Lord Yang, do you truly think our Vulture Chamber of Commerce is a gold mine? Alright, now that the money is with you, can we leave?"

"President Duan, why the rush? Why not stay the night and have another drink with me?"

Duan Jinjiang couldn’t wait to leave this cursed place of the City of Hope. Not willing to stay, he immediately said:

"No, I won’t stay. Your wine is too expensive for me to afford. Goodbye."

"Alright, let me see you off."

Yang Xiao and Elder Qi, along with others, escorted Duan Jinjiang and his group out of the city. Duan Jinjiang quickly departed with his subordinates and guards.

The demon beasts of the distant Dark Forest, following Yang Xiao’s orders, had already opened a path.

As soon as Duan Jinjiang and his people left the City of Hope, they immediately exerted full speed to fly away, afraid that if they slowed down by even a second, Yang Xiao would capture them again.

In the blink of an eye, five thousand people had vanished without a trace.

After leaving the City of Hope by several hundred kilometers, Duan Jinjiang let out a long sigh of relief.

"Finally, we’ve escaped the control of that madman Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao is definitely the craziest person I’ve ever seen!"

Thinking back, Duan Jinjiang felt both oppressed and furious.

"Second Elder, when you went to find the Mr. Master of the Dark Web, how did he promise you?"

The Second Elder was always uneasy about this matter. Now that Duan Jinjiang was pursuing it, his heart thudded, and he immediately said:

"President Duan, back then, Mr. Master promised very assuredly that he would kill Yang Xiao within three days,

and said that if the mission was not completed, they would compensate us with one billion Crystal Coins. They indeed arranged for Liu Xing and one hundred assassins to infiltrate the City of Hope to assassinate Yang Xiao,

but it all failed.

After the failure, the Dark Web sent Mr. Eight to assassinate Yang Xiao, but he was also defeated by Yang Xiao,

then, Mr. Master personally took action,

however, this result was beyond our expectations. Who could have imagined Mr. Master would be defeated by Yang Xiao?"

After the Second Elder finished speaking, he anxiously glanced at Duan Jinjiang.

Although Duan Jinjiang’s Genetic Evolution Level was not as high as his, his prestige in the entire chamber of commerce was extremely high, and he was ruthless, vicious, and cunning.

Duan Jinjiang could smile at you face-to-face and then stab you in the back, making it impossible to guard against.

Duan Jinjiang’s face darkened, and he coldly said:

"We are now going to the Dark Web Headquarters Valley. I want to ask Mr. Master face-to-face how he plans to handle this matter."

The Second Elder was taken aback and said:

"President Duan, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?"

"What’s inappropriate? He took my money and didn’t complete my task, causing me to lose five billion Crystal Disks in vain. Shouldn’t I question him?

Had I known, I might as well have invited the three Demon Lords to help me eliminate Yang Xiao,

also, that Tenth Elder Ma Kui openly betrayed me. If he hadn’t revealed the truth, if he had been more tolerant and taken the blame himself, it wouldn’t have caused us to lose five billion Crystal Disks.

Fifth Elder, go, send someone to capture the family of the Tenth Elder and execute them all on the spot."

The Fifth Elder and others were shocked, looking at Duan Jinjiang.

The Great Elder’s face grew cold,

"What, are my words ineffective?"

The Fifth Elder immediately bowed and said:

"Yes, I will immediately take people to capture Ma Kui’s family and execute them on the spot."

After speaking, the Fifth Elder flew up with two hundred guards and headed off into the distance.

Duan Jinjiang said in a deep voice:

"The rest of you, follow me. We will rush to the Dark Web Headquarters Valley overnight. I want to see how Mr. Master will explain to me how the Dark Web plans to maintain its footing on the Central Continent in the future."

A group hurriedly set off for the Dark Web Headquarters Valley.

By evening, Duan Jinjiang’s group arrived outside the Dark Web Headquarters Valley in a rage.

As soon as the crowd approached the outskirts of the valley, they saw dozens of people flying over from mid-air, blocking their path.

"Who goes there? Ahead is the Dark Web Headquarters Valley. Do not trespass, or face the consequences."

Duan Jinjiang’s figure flashed as he rushed to the front and loudly said:

"Duan Jinjiang, President of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, has come specifically to see Mr. Master."

Despite Duan Jinjiang’s previous rage, his attitude instantly became cautious and humble at the Dark Web Headquarters Valley.

He was not a fool; he knew very well that in terms of team combat power, the Dark Web absolutely crushed the Vulture Chamber of Commerce.

The reason he dared to question Mr. Master face-to-face was that both parties were reputable people, and mutual trust and respect were a basic formality that bound everyone.

If the Dark Web wanted to continue operating on the Central Continent, they had to take the Vulture Chamber of Commerce’s commission seriously. Otherwise, no one would dare to hire the Dark Web for tasks if such things spread.

The Dark Web guards in mid-air seemed prepared and immediately said:

"So it’s President Duan in person. Mr. Master has instructed that if President Duan arrives, he is to be escorted into the valley to speak, but with no more than ten attendants."

Duan Jinjiang was taken aback,

"What, Mr. Master knew I would come to find him?"

"Yes, Mr. Master has already instructed us to bring you to him as soon as President Duan arrives."

Duan Jinjiang nodded and said to the Second Elder and others:

"You guys, come with me to meet Mr. Master."

Led by the Dark Web guards, the group entered the valley.

...

Mr. Master had been humiliated by Yang Xiao in the City of Hope, causing him to cough up blood from anger.

In all his life, Mr. Master had never suffered such humiliation.

He had always been the one controlling others’ lives and deaths. She never imagined that one day, her own life and death would be in the hands of someone like Yang Xiao.

Although Mr. Master was injured, after taking his specially formulated healing antidote, he quickly recovered fifty percent of his Genetic Evolution Energy. Though he still couldn’t deal with Yang Xiao, he had more than enough strength to handle Chen Jie and Yan’er.

Mr. Master immediately restrained Chen Jie and Yan’er, tore up the bedsheet to tie them, gagged them with rags, and then escaped through the back window of the house.

With Mr. Master’s ability, the guards in the backyard naturally could not discover him.

When Mr. Master escaped from the City Lord Mansion, it was when Yang Xiao was verbally jousting outside the city with Duan Jinjiang. Taking advantage of the chaotic situation outside, Mr. Master quietly left the City of Hope from the opposite side and rushed back to the Dark Web Headquarters.

Along the way, she grew increasingly angry, with an inner urge to tear Yang Xiao into pieces.

"Yang Xiao, just you wait. One day, I’ll make you kneel before me, begging for mercy. I’ll flay you, remove your tendons, crush your bones, and suck the marrow, making you wish for death to ease my heart’s hatred."

Upon returning to the Dark Web Headquarters Valley, Mr. Master took another Healing Elixir and practiced a special healing method. At this point, her injuries had recovered by about eighty percent.

Now, Mr. Master had regained the self-confident, imperious assassin image, controlling life and death without mercy.

She knew that after Duan Jinjiang left the City of Hope, he would definitely come to question her, so she specially instructed the guards watching the valley that if President Duan arrived, he was to be immediately brought into the valley.

...

With the guards leading them, Duan Jinjiang and his group arrived in front of Mr. Master’s solitary residence, where they heard a music filled with the clang of battle and the chilling intent to kill from afar.

This was a type of ancient qin unique to the Dwarf Star, similar to the ancient qin from ancient Xuanming Country on Earth.

Duan Jinjiang and his group were all experts. Hearing this music outside the house, they immediately stood still and listened quietly.

From the chilly music, they could sense the fierce killing intent of an assassin roaming the Jianghu, killing a person every ten steps, traveling a thousand miles without pause.

After a burst of urgent music, Duan Jinjiang and the group felt a shock within them, as a wave of extreme cold killing intent engulfed their hearts.

"Dang!"

A sharp, piercing sound rang out as the music abruptly stopped.

"Is it President Duan of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce standing outside the door?"

President Duan immediately bowed and said:

"Indeed, it is I, Duan Jinjiang, President of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce, here specifically to see Mr. Master."

"I already know your purpose. The mission to assassinate Yang Xiao failed. This deal we can only take the loss and cancel. There are two billion Crystal Disks at the entrance, please count them."

Duan Jinjiang was stunned, unable to speak for a moment.

The renowned Mr. Master, feared across the Central Continent, actually admitted to failure and inability to complete the mission to assassinate Yang Xiao?

What exactly was going on?

Was Yang Xiao really that formidable?

"Mr. Master, I cannot believe that the Dark Web, with so many people, cannot assassinate a single Yang Xiao. I am willing to add one billion more Crystal Disks, just to ask you to kill Yang Xiao."
