Chapter 20: The Undercurrent (3)

At night, the "Torture Eye" mercenary brigade is stationed three blocks away from the small courtyard where Scar and the others are located.

Xu Yong has been sitting on his main seat, his right eye lowered, thinking about the day's affairs. There is no doubt that he is not interested in Xue Qing, if the other party is not the heir of that person, he will even want to kill the other party with those few words during the day. But he didn't have a choice.

From the age of ten, when he calculated his own talent seed, he was contained by the "Torture Eye", and like countless other children who had good talent seeds and did not have a prominent background, he was taken under the command of the "Torture Eye", a cross-city-state organization that was also considered a large force in the entire Longshan Domain.

However, although he joined the "Torture Eye", he was not a formal member on the surface, but a reserve member of the "Torture Eye" hidden in the "Torture Eye". After all, there are countless children with good talent seeds in the sky above the Nino Continent, but the ones who can really make a difference are really insignificant compared to the huge base. Therefore, almost all forces will have a period of investigation in all the new blood seeds of the organization that they contain, except for the children of the members within the organization. Only members who have passed the probation period can join the organization and become reserve members of each parish. And only those who have performed well in the reserve can become full members of the parishion.

Perhaps it was Xu Yong's performance during the inspection period that made the people above feel that he was more suitable for the "Eye of Punishment", so he became a preparatory member of the "Eye of Punishment" without an official identity.

His performance in the various training of the reserve is not outstanding, but he is more than lacking than the bottom.

At the age of ten, he was contained by the "Torture Eye", at the age of twelve, he became a reserve member of the "Eye of Punishment", at the age of sixteen, he condensed into a sea of qi and stepped into the world of cultivators and became a full member of the "Eye of Punishment", and at the age of twenty-four, he stepped into the realm of a husband-level cultivator and sat on the position of the leader of a twenty-person action team of the "Eye of Punishment" with his courage to fight.

This is Xu Yong's simple resume inside the "Torture Eye".

However, the talent he valued most by the "Torture Eye" was unable to awaken for a long time, making him almost lose the channel to rise.

You must know that no matter what forces or organizations are promoted, except for their origins, they are all based on their own value, their hard power as a cultivator, their own wisdom, their awakened strong talents, and so on.

In the "Torture Eye", the strength is stronger than Xu Yong, and the qualifications he shows as a cultivator are ordinary elites, and he can't even reach geniuses, and members of an organization like him can basically only be cannon fodder.

And anyone with a certain degree of ambition is unlikely to be willing to become cannon fodder, not to mention that Xu Yong, who has seen the tip of the iceberg of the organization in the "Eye of Punishment", is naturally ambitious, so all he can rely on is his own talent seed. However, it was a pity that even if he became a husband-level cultivator, he did not show any signs of talent awakening.

Three talent seeds, two physical talents, and one special talent. Not to mention the greatest value, it was also the biggest factor for the "Torture Eye" to accept him in the first place, the "Evil Voice" talent, even if it was two ordinary physical talents, he didn't have any signs of awakening. This made Xu Yong, who was not ambitious, fall into a state of unwillingness and extreme anxiety.

You must know that although the "Eye of Punishment" belongs to the same "Eye of Punishment", it can also be said to be a sharp blade in the "Eye of Punishment". But Xu Yong's status as the leader of a mere operational team has no future. If he can't climb up or get the official identity of the "Torture Eye" on the surface, even if he dies, others will not know that he is a member of the "Torture Eye".

It's so sad to be a member of a power that is on the surface.

It was at that time that he was fortunate to meet the big man, that is, Xue Qing's father. And took over a task from the other party's hand, and the reward of the task is the "Talent Awakening Pill" that can be advanced in advance and a promise: as long as the task is completed, you can become the master of a certain branch of the "Eye of Punishment".

The lowest position of the branch head of any of the halls in the "Torture Eye" is the lord of a small city-state. This temptation is a temptation that cannot be refused by any cultivator with the same ambition as Xu Yong. In comparison, the "Talent Awakening Pill" that Xu Yong urgently needed became secondary.

After a series of operations and means, Xu Yong finally won the task, and then led his team to Coca City. He was twenty-six years old.

After coming to Coca City, Xu Yong finally awakened his talent after two years through the "Talent Awakening Pill" advanced in advance, and it was the most valuable "Evil Voice" talent, but the side effects of the talent made it a thorn in Xu Yong's heart.

The "Voice of Evil" talent, as one of the seven emotions that is also rare among the special talents, is actually not uncommon under the huge population base of the entire Nino Continent, but there are only 10,000 cases of side effects like Xu Yong's in the entire history of the Nino Continent.

Unfortunately and fortunately, through the excavation exploits of several underground secret realms that have been explored, Xu Yong discovered from inside the "Torture Eye" that the "Torture Eye" in the entire Longshan Domain is one of the few organizations that has the means to suppress the side effects of this talent. And this means is right in the hands of that big man.

So whether it was the actual benefit of the city lord of the least small city-state or in order to suppress the side effects of talent, Xu Yong had already tied to that person's body.

However, the current dilemma is that although several underground secret realms of Longsen have been secretly explored and handed over to the organization to excavate, the secret realm called "Qin" that he asked for has no clues other than that it may be on the side of the Fulong Mountain Range.

Finding the secret realm of "Qin" was the fundamental task of Xu Yonglai to Koca City, and it was also the first mission under that man. The outcome of this mission can be said to have directly determined his future fate.

The mandate was 10 years, and now there are just over two years left.

The more he thought about it, the more irritated and gloomy Xu Yong's expression became.

The Fulong Mountains are too big. Even if it is determined to be close to the side of Longsen, it will be almost impossible to find out the detailed location in a little more than two years. And the big man is obviously starting to lose patience, and this time letting Xue Qing come over is a beating.

At this moment, the subordinates who were sent to investigate the reason for the resurrection of Scar and his party during the day walked in and whispered the results of the investigation to Xu Yong.

When he heard one of the key information, Xu Yong, who was expressionless, was stunned, and his only intact right eye burst out with an amazing light in an instant.

"You said that Scar's gang discovered a suspicious secret place?" Xu Yong endured the strong agitation in his heart and confirmed.

"Yes."

"Is it in the Dragon's Head Mountains?!" Xu Yong clenched the seat handles with both hands, and reconfirmed with some hurriedness.

"Yes. It is said to be near Broken Tooth Mountain. As a henchman who followed Xu Yong to Coca City, he naturally knew the reason why Xu Yong was excited, which was also the reason why he came to report as soon as possible.

Xu Yong froze, a touch of excitement appeared on his gloomy face, and asked, "Have you heard about the situation inside?" ”

"Nope." The henchman then said, "But the entrance to the secret realm is a stone arch. ”

Xu Yong couldn't help but pat the handrail and stand up excitedly, and said excitedly: "Nine times out of ten." ”

Nine times out of ten, the secret realm discovered by Scar and the others was the goal of his mission.

Just when Xu Yong was excited to finally find the target, he suddenly remembered his henchman, and it seemed that he had mentioned the player just now.

One-eyed was startled, and asked with some hesitation, "You just said that Scar how they discovered that secret realm?" ”

"My lord, I heard that Scar and the others caught a wild player. That player is Minghuang Shengmengjue, and that secret realm seems to be his chance. The henchman thought of the key at the same time and hurriedly replied.

"Not good!" Xu Yong exclaimed, "Gather people immediately and enter the mountain!" ”

"Your Excellency!" The henchman hurriedly shouted to Xu Yong, who was eager to go out, and said, "My lord, just half an hour ago, the City Lord's Mansion had ordered the city to be closed, and the beast tide had already come. ”

Xu Yong's footsteps stopped, and his heart was like a basin of ice water poured from head to toe, instantly cooling down from excitement.

Pacing back and forth with a gloomy expression, he then sat back in the main seat, looked at his henchman and said, "You tell the information again, don't let go of any details." ”

"Yes." The henchman clasped his fists and saluted, and then re-detailed all the information.

After listening, Xu Yong thought for a while and said: "That is to say, the Scar gang met the wild player by chance at the edge of Longsen, and then forced out the opportunity but was secretly plotted by that player at the entrance of the secret realm, which led to the same fate?" ”

"Yes. It is said that Scar and the others died this time really aggrieved, and they didn't even understand how they died. The henchman replied with a little amusement on his face.

Xu Yong's expression softened slightly, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said secretly: "In this case, it means that Scar doesn't know the specific situation of that secret realm yet." I only know that there are cultivation exercises in that secret realm, but I don't know that there is a city knot there, and I don't know that that the secret realm is also related to the largest treasure in the Longshan Domain? ”

("However, it may also be known, but kept secret?") ”)

"Are you sure that wild player is dead too?" Xu Yong asked with a gloomy expression.

The henchman nodded, "Whether it's for the sake of face or something else, Scar and the others will never deceive themselves on this point." However, I'm afraid that the resurrection mechanism of wild players is still inside, and it is very likely that they have already entered the secret realm. ”

"This damn beast tide!" Xu Yong cursed irritably, a sharp irritation in the woman's voice.

After calming down a little, Xu Yong opened his one eye and instructed his henchman: "You go and investigate carefully tomorrow and make sure that all the information is not missing." ”

"Yes."

"In particular, how much do Scar and the others know about the situation in the secret realm, and all the tiny information of that wild player must be clearly understood. It's important to us. Most likely, the fate of the squad is at stake. Xu Yong told repeatedly.

After confirming that the henchman had understood what he meant, Xu Yong sent him out, then stood up and walked towards the deepest part of the station with some frowns.

("The lockdown of the City Lord's Mansion means that the vanguard of the Beast Tide has stepped out of the border of the gathering place and has begun to rush towards all the nearby city-states.) Although the first batch of demon beasts were all cannon fodder, the huge number of clusters that no one could cope with except the army. ”)

"This damn beast tide! This damn player! Xu Yong couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Whether it is a beast tide or a player, as long as one of them appears two months later, he will not fall into such an embarrassing situation.
