Chapter 678, Before the Holy Mountain

Three days had passed since An Jingji had sent a text message announcing the mission, Ren Xiaosu and the others had already tried their best to rush over as fast as they could, and to their surprise, they did intercept the Fire Seed Company’s caravan, but the caravan was nothing more than a tactic of staged suspicion.

An Jingji was able to plant spies in the Fire Seed Company and learned in advance that the Fire Seed Company was heading to the grasslands to make an arrest, and the Fire Seed Company could likewise have An Jingji’s Class A killer cell phone.

Both sides were old rivals, so how could the Fire Seed Company not prevent An Jingji from making a move?

Yang Xiaoguan even felt that the Ankyoji spy who was inside the Fire Seed Company might already be in a bad way.

The battle of spies was often like a dark current under the deep sea, killing people invisibly.

“Then if the Fire Seed Company split their troops in two, which route would they take to transport that Experiment 001?” Ren Xiaosu asked, “Is it possible to chase after them and intercept them now?”

“It’s not possible,” Yang Xiaoguan shook her head, “The other party planned so cautiously, and even managed to get a T5 level expert to act as a decoy, so the backhanded route must have been a more secure one, and it might be close to arriving at the Fire Seed Company by now.”

Ren Xiaosu was a little nervous in his heart, if Yan Liuyuan was really captured by the Fire Seed Company, then it must be very bad.

All the other people were hiding at the end, wanting others to strike first, if it was usual, Ren Xiaosu would definitely hide in the shadows like everyone else and then fish in troubled waters.

But Yan Liuyuan was too important to him, so he didn’t mind coming to be that headbanger himself, but he also wanted to strike early.

“Then where will Fire Seed send Experiment 001 to for research after capturing it?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“Sacred Mountain, right,” Yang Xiaoguan analyzed, “Almost all of the Transcendents captured by Fireseed were sent inside the Sacred Mountain, the legendary place of manifestation, where Fireseed set up an institute, and the roads in and out are all guarded by troops.”

“How many roads are there in total to enter the mountain?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“Seven,” Yang Xiaoguan explained, “The Sacred Mountain is an entire mountain range, more than two hundred kilometers deep, and each road has entire regiment-level troops stationed there.”

“With a Transcendent’s physique, there’s no need to go on the main roads, and since the entire Sacred Mountain is so huge, the fire can’t close off the entire mountain range,” Ren Xiaosu said.

“Are you going to the Sacred Mountain?” Yang Xiaoguan asked.

“Yes,” Ren Xiaosu nodded, “I have reasons why I have to go.”

“Good, I’ll accompany you,” Yang Xiaoguan said, “But there are some things you have to listen to my advice, the danger inside the Holy Mountain is not only the fire troops stationed there, in fact those fire troops don’t really dare to go into the Holy Mountain on weekdays, those who can go in and out of there are all genetic warriors that have been transformed by fire, and once the Anjing Temple also sent A-class killers in, but without exception, they were nowhere to be found.”

Yang Xiaoguan continued, “I know you are concerned about Liu Yuan’s safety, and I don’t want anything to happen to him, but this shouldn’t be the reason why you have lost your calmness and prudence, plan for everything before you act, this time we can’t just rush in unprepared. As the saying goes, concern leads to chaos, for this operation, you have to listen to me.”

Ren Xiaosu sighed after contemplating for a while, “Well, thanks for the reminder.”

Yang Xiaoguan wasn’t afraid of death, she wouldn’t have accompanied him on a trip to the Holy Mountain, but Yang Xiaoguan was more aware that Ren Xiaosu was very prone to losing his mind because of Yan Liuyuan, so what she had to do wasn’t to accompany Ren Xiaosu to act recklessly, but rather to allow Ren Xiaosu to keep himself calm.

……

That very afternoon, members of the Anjing Temple who had watched the entire battle passed on the news that there were no experimental subjects in the fire fleet to the Anjing Temple.

Ankyoji also confirmed the intelligence after receiving the news, and eventually replenished the text message: experimental body 001 has been transported to the Holy Mountain, please determine the execution of the mission Ankyoji assassin to assist Ankyoji in stopping the research of the Fire Seed Company, the reward ……

This time, the reward offered by Anjingji was even higher than the previous reward for intercepting the caravan, but they didn’t say anything more about the rendezvous location, and the specific plan, and it looked like they were trying to prevent the Fire Seed Company from knowing the news in advance.

As for how to bring all these killers together, that was An Jingji’s own business, I’m sure they had a way.

When Ren Xiaosu received this text message, she didn’t head directly to the Holy Mountain, but followed Yang Xiaoguan to a city ruin more than a hundred kilometers west of the Holy Mountain in advance.

This place was originally a county city before the disaster, and from the outside, the entire ruined building was in disrepair, and there was not a single person on the streets.

However, Yang Xiaoguan led Ren Xiaosu to turn left and right, and walked in through the entrance of an air-raid shelter.

Underground dim light, walk a few dozen meters and turn a corner, to see the old lamp set in the wall of the air-raid shelter, and under the lamp also squatted two young men.

When they saw someone come in they got up and asked, “Where did you come from?”

Yang Xiaoguan calmly handed out ten thousand dollars in cash and said, “Two people, come to inquire about information.”

A young man took the cash and patted it in his hand and laughed, “Then you’ve come to the right place, but we can’t guarantee the accuracy of the information, you judge for yourselves and don’t think we’ll help you catch the crooks.”

“I know the rules,” Yang Xiaoguan said and continued to walk towards the inside, the young man whistled and a dilapidated iron door slowly opened in front of Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaoguan.

Unlike the coldness outside, this air defense shelter was bustling with activity behind the door.

“Black market?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“Yes,” Yang Xiaoguan walked inside, “but this black market is not big, and there are not many people, unlike the Luo City black market, which is mainly for enjoyment, and is filled with money-selling grottoes, and is considered to be a place for some big lords to retire, whereas here, it’s much more chaotic, and before the Anjing Temple came into existence, most of the assassin missions were released from here, harboring many outlaws. The air raid shelters are huge and spread throughout the ruins of the county, just the place to hide the dirt.”

“You didn’t bring me here for information either,” Ren Kosu wondered.

“The Anjing Temple has arranged quite a few people here, it can be said that a small half of the entire underground black market is in the hands of the Anjing Temple, although this place isn’t close to the Holy Mountain of the Fire Seed, if the Anjing Temple wants to infiltrate the Holy Mountain, then they should use this place as their last resting place,” Yang Xiaoguan said, “And , it is rumored that there are people here who have been to the outskirts of the Holy Mountain. It’s better to have someone to lead the way than to cross the river by ourselves by touching the stones.”

In other words, it was to find some people who would die for them to explore the path.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly recalled that when they entered the Realm Mountain, Yang Xiaoguan and the others had also looked for a group of mixed-up private troopers and pulled themselves as guides.

Thinking about it now, there was a feeling like it was a lifetime ago, when he had only just gotten the palace and had never seen what this world really looked like.
