Chapter 321: Chapter 220: The Greatest Chivalry

The old temple in the mountains was overgrown with weeds.

The mottled walls and damaged roof tiles all spoke of the desolation of years of neglect.

However, the interior of the temple was a different story.

Smooth walls, clean floors, bright lights, and air-conditioning blowing comfortable cool air. A group of people surrounded a table eating hotpot, another group gathered to play mahjong. They smoked, drank, and picked at their toenails, creating a rowdy and smog-filled atmosphere.

In fact, this space was a resting area opened up by an extraordinary spatial tool.

"Damn it, all of you shut the hell up!"

In front of a surveillance setup composed of countless screens, a man took off his headset and shouted angrily, veins bulging on his forehead, "Even with headphones on, I can hear you guys! If you’re not working, can you at least not disturb those of us who are?"

The crowd glanced at him, quiet for just a moment, then returned to their previous activities, smoking, drinking, and picking at their toenails, boasting loudly and completely ignoring him.

They laughed.

This was a temporarily assembled team of villains, with members from various factions, the Land of Truth, the Painful Miracle, the Evil Spirit Cult, the Fatal Trojan Horse, the Anti-Control Bureau Alliance... Each person was a notorious wanted criminal, the worst of the worst. Why would they listen to you?

To make them obey, you had to be both strong and ruthless, and this tech guy was obviously neither.

"Fuck!" The man slammed the table in anger, tossing aside his headset, "I’m done with this shitty job! Anyone who wants it can have it!"

"Li, calm down." Next to him, a bald man with glasses spoke calmly, "You aim to become part of the Fatal Trojan Horse management someday. Don’t you even have this much self-control?

What do you think will happen to you if the supervisor sees you slacking off later?"

Upon hearing this, Li felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him. His supervisor was a ruthless character; in his eyes, useless subordinates weren’t even considered "people" and would be turned into wet specimens for mining, a fate worse than death.

Among the members from the same batch, only two, including him, were still alive. The rest had all been turned into wet specimens, a living hell.

He hurriedly put on his headset and resumed monitoring.

The screen displayed scenes from areas experiencing abnormal events, monitored remotely through special Transcendent equipment to gather intelligence and control real-time dynamics in various places.

This time, the villain alliance led by the Land of Truth was planning something big in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and intelligence work was naturally essential.

"Hmm? The spatial distortion near Yongan City has disappeared." Li watched the flashing data on the screen and recorded the situation.

A few minutes later, the temple door was pushed open, and five figures walked in.

The leading figure was a slender, handsome young man with skin as pale as paper, as if he hadn’t seen the sun for a long time. His deep, crimson eyes and the lingering menace between his brows gave off a chilling discomfort.

This was a member of the blood clan!

Glancing at the smoky room, the slender, handsome young man frowned in displeasure and said coldly, "You have thirty seconds to clean this place up, or... face the consequences."

The group paused for a moment. This time, they did not ignore the warning like before; they swiftly cleaned up the place.

Working with clear division of labor and rapid movements, someone even sprayed air freshener, dispelling the mixed stench of hotpot, foot odor, alcohol, and smoke.

When they needed to be submissive, they definitely didn’t hesitate.

Despite looking young, this blood clan member was actually an old monster who had lived in abnormal spaces for five or six hundred years, named Soro. He was one of the elders of the blood clan, known for his extremely bloody and ruthless methods. Even the villains present were terrified of him.

He was a staunch hawk of the blood clan, a blood supremacist. After the blood clan was hammered by the Control Bureau, he refused to become a house pet and defected to the Land of Truth, opposing the Control Bureau wherever he went. He was dedicated to making the blood clan great again and overcoming their fatal weakness of fearing sunlight.

"Everyone, listen up. There’s a mission for you."

A man dressed in black combat gear, wearing a black mask, and carrying two katanas on his back spoke sternly, "We discovered a magical tree in the deep mountains and forests one hundred and fifty kilometers to the south. We plan to drive it to Yongan City for a massacre. During this period, you need to create as much bloodshed as possible in Yongan City. The more you kill, the better it will awaken the magical tree."

Upon hearing this, the group became extremely excited, rubbing their hands with glee, "Finally, we can start a killing spree! My Evil Underworld Blood Heaven Skill needs the nourishment of blood essence!"

"It’s about time. I’ve been waiting forever."

"I’ll kill one, eat one, kill one, eat one... hehehe..."

"I want to see rivers of blood! Hehehehehe!"

"After slaughtering Yongan City, our next step is to advance into Chenzhou. Hmph... At that point, we’ll take the magical tree into the secret realm. We’ll be invincible, killing Control Bureau dogs no matter how many come. The heavenly treasures and earthly treasures will all be ours," a hedgehog-headed man laughed.

Just then, Elder Soro of the blood clan moved his ears, catching a faint noise, "Hmm?"

He immediately went outside, a layer of nano armor automatically covering his body to block the sunlight. Squinting, he scanned the surroundings, releasing his perception, carefully sensing the movement of the wind and grass.

"What’s wrong?" The other four followed, confused.

Swish!

Suddenly, a projectile flew over, striking the head of the person on the far left.
