Chapter 661: Chapter 661 Arms Deal (1)_1

"I noticed that some people over at the armory were dressed differently from those I saw before; their auras were distinct," Baibai said, eyes fixed on the group below, a flicker of confusion in his tiger eyes. "Master, I find the markings on their clothes vaguely familiar."

Originally, Situ Xin had been pondering that the emblems on their clothes seemed familiar, and now, hearing what Baibai had said, her eyes lit up. She recalled why they seemed familiar. "It’s that organization from Hong Kong."

"Is it the organization that Situ Muli was involved with before?" Baibai seemed to remember as well.

"Yes, that organization. But how could the people from that organization appear here?" Situ Xin wondered. She had thoroughly investigated the organization when she rescued Situ Muli and decided to keep him by her side.

She clearly remembered this organization named "Yan"; in her previous life, she had never heard of such an organization. Although she wondered how such an organization could suddenly emerge, after reviewing the investigation report on "Yan",

she observed that "Yan" had weaponry and management far more advanced than the current era. However, apart from involving Situ Muli, this "Yan" seemed to have no connection with her, and since Situ Xin was someone who detested trouble and saw that this organization "Yan" was unlikely to conflict with her, she simply instructed Dragon Society to keep tabs on its movements and did not pay it any more attention.

Yet, Situ Xin had not expected that after so many years, she would encounter members of the organization "Yan" at the Xiao Family’s arms deal.

"Master, I remember now." The question Situ Xin had casually asked was not intended for anyone in particular to answer, and she did not expect that Baibai would.

"What do you remember?" Situ Xin was surprised and glanced at Baibai, waiting for his response.

"That person, the mastermind we saw earlier, I’ve seen him before," Baibai said uncertainly, shifting his gaze from the armory to Xiao Qing as he spoke. "Seen before? Where have you seen him?" Situ Xin was baffled when Baibai mentioned having seen Xiao Qing; if she remembered correctly, Baibai was always with her except when in the spatial realm, and she was certain she had never met that man. With her memory, she would not forget such a person.

"Yes, I’m sure I’ve seen him before," Baibai, whose memory was on par with Situ Xin’s, after closely observing Xiao Qing, confidently stated: "I saw that man in the information Xia Yujie gave you, concerning the ’Yan’ organization."

Upon hearing Baibai mention the information provided by Xia Yujie, Situ Xin understood. Xia Yujie would compile the intelligence gathered by Dragon Society each week and send it to her, and she only reviewed what interested her or seemed useful for her and her family. The rest, which did not pique her interest, she did not even glance at. Baibai, however, would look through them when Situ Xin casually stored them in her spatial realm and Baibai had nothing else to do. That’s when Baibai came across the documents about the "Yan" organization.

"Are you saying the mastermind behind Muli is from ’Yan’?" Situ Xin asked again to make sure she had not misheard.

"Yes, I’m certain it’s someone from ’Yan’. And I’m sure that person has a high rank within ’Yan’." Baibai recalled the content of the documentation it had seen, but as some time had passed, the details were not clear. Baibai vaguely remembered that the documents contained a brief on high-ranking members of the "Yan" organization.

"It seems that, when I get back, I have to properly look into this ’Yan’ organization. I didn’t expect they’d extended their reach so far in these years." Situ Xin noted that "Yan" had even stretched its hand into the inland territories. The weapons and technology of "Yan" were far more advanced than other organizations. Originally, if "Yan" had remained quiet in Xiangjiang, Situ Xin wouldn’t have cared. But now that "Yan" had expanded inland and Dragon Society was also an underground organization—indeed, the leader among inland underground organizations—conflict with "Yan" was inevitable.

As the saying of Situ Xin went, "knowing the enemy and knowing yourself, you can fight a hundred battles without disaster." Therefore, before "Yan" made a move, Dragon Society needed to take the initiative.

While Situ Xin and Baibai discussed the organization "Yan", the people below started to make their move.

"Baibai, descend quickly toward the armory." Although Situ Xin was talking to Baibai, her Divine Sense was constantly monitoring the movements of the people on the ground. Seeing that they had begun to act, she urged Baibai to descend quickly. And as Situ Xin ordered Baibai to descend rapidly, Xiao Muli’s hidden forces also mobilized upon seeing the others make their move.

Xiao Qing’s men and those from "Yan", having just dealt with Xiao Muli’s overt forces and wondering why the Xiao Family was so weak, were suddenly confronted by many people dressed in strong attire. They instantly knew these newcomers were nothing like the previous Xiao Family men; they were of a different league. The "Yan" members exchanged looks and tensed up, preparing for battle.

Those trained using Situ Xin’s methods were no slouches; coupled with Situ Xin sharing some of her Ancient Martial Arts cultivation techniques with Xiao Muli’s people without holding back, "Yan" members felt outmatched the moment they engaged Xiao Muli’s hidden forces. Whether in hand-to-hand combat or shooting, they looked decidedly shabby.

Although "Yan" members had not been completely incapacitated like Xiao Qing’s own men, their situation was far from good.
