Chapter 1668 – Black Tiger Gang’s Darkness Hall
Chapter 1668 - Black Tiger Gang’s Darkness Hall
Zhao Hai sat in the Space looking at the raging Firecloud, he couldn’t help but faintly smile. If he fought against Firecloud with all of his strength, it wouldn’t be obvious who would die. But he didn’t want to expose his strength ahead of time. Therefore, he didn’t make a move.
Through this battle, Zhao Hai was able to evaluate his strength. In a glance, he was indeed not an opponent of those monsters in the Nascent Soul Stage. But if he used all of his cards, it would be impossible for Nascent Soul Stage Experts to kill him.
Nascent Soul Experts were already regarded as powerhouses in the Great World of Cultivation. Zhao Hai was relieved. In any case, he knew that he had the strength to protect himself.
Zhao Hai took out a jade sword message. After recording some contents, he released it out of the Space.
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, do you really want to be friends with Han Buli? He’s from the Darkness Hall, and they’re responsible for spying in the Black Tiger Gang. Aren’t you afraid that he would report you?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “What can he do if he reports it? What does he know? He only knew that I offended Zhang Feng. Then I left Undead to manage the Ignored Valley so that I can go out and play around.”
Laura nodded and said, “That’s also right. Brother Hai, Firecloud’s last move seems to cut the void. Can that move reach the Space?”
Zhao Hai knit his brows. To be honest, Firecloud’s move that cut the void was scary. His greatest ace was the Space. If the people of the Great World of Cultivation can cut the void and reach the Space, then things would be dangerous for him.
Zhao Hai calmed down after some time as he said, “We can only take one careful step at a time. The Great World of Cultivation is too complicated. A Nascent Soul Expert can already cut through the void. The more powerful they are, the more likely they would be able to discover the Space. When that happens, we would no longer be safe. We need to be more careful.”
At this time, Cai’er said, “I think we’re still safe. The Space is different from the Great World of Cultivation’s void. The Space belongs to Young Master alone and it already has its own laws. It can be said that it doesn’t exist in the same place as the void of the Great World of Cultivation. It should be impossible for these experts to enter the Space through cutting the void.”
Zhao Hai replied, “We still need to be careful. After all, the Space is our greatest secret. We absolutely cannot expose it. We can’t risk it.”
Cai’er nodded. She also knows how important it was to keep the Space a secret. This was the most valuable card that they have. Therefore, she didn’t oppose what Zhao Hai said.
Zhao Hai turned to Cai’er and said, “Did you place a silver needle on Han Buli?”
Cai’er nodded and said, “I did. You can rest assured.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Pay attention to him. When he reaches a special place, immediately withdraw the needle. There are a lot of experts in the Great World of Cultivation. Since the Darkness Hall specializes in spying, they should also have measures to prevent them from being spied upon. I’m afraid they would discover the silver needle. We would rather not know about them than let them suspect us.”
Cai’er nodded, “I understand. It’s better to lose than to not wake up. Is that right?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Right. Before we find out if the experts of the Great World of Cultivation could really penetrate through to the Space, we need to be careful.”
Cai’er nodded, “Young Master, would you really follow Zhang Feng’s instructions in the competition? Now that Han Buli knows how strong you are, wouldn’t he have some suspicions?”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “He won’t. The only thing he knows is that we’re afraid of Zhang Feng. Therefore, it’s understandable for us to hide our strength. Perhaps he might even believe in me more.”
While Zhao Hai and Cai’er chatted, Han Buli received Zhao Hai’s jade sword message. Han Buli was now in a secret hideout of the Black Tiger Gang. Because this place wasn’t far from the Roaring Flame Sect, the Darkness Hall created a hideout. This was also to prevent people from the Black Tiger Gang from accidentally killing experts who were in disguise.
It was impossible for normal members of the Black Tiger Gang to know of this hideout. The people who knew were either from the Darkness Hall or those with special status. Han Buli was both, so he naturally knew about the hideout.
After leaving the battle, Han Buli flew to the hideout at his quickest speed. And since he had an agreement with Zhao Hai, Han Buli didn’t reveal that Zhao Hai stayed in order to stall Firecloud. He just told the people in the hideout that a Nascent Soul Expert from the Roaring Flame Sect has been spotted going into the Black Tiger Domain.
If it were other people who made the report, the hideout might not have cared. However, this was Han Buli, so they didn’t have a choice. He had enough status in the sect to not be ignored.
Han Buli was from the Black Tiger Gang’s Han Clan. Only a few people outside the Black Tiger Gang knew about the Han Clan. Even in the Black Tiger Gang, not many people know about this family.
The Great Han Family was as old as the Black Tiger Gang itself. But this family has one characteristic. Their members had been members of the Darkness Hall for generations. It was precisely because of this that they had been very secretive.
Although not a lot of people knew about the Han Clan, those who did were afraid of them. This was because the clan’s influence on the sect was very strong.
Since the Han Clan has always been in the Darkness Hall, their forces have been deeply ingrained into every corner of the hall. It can be said that the Darkness Hall had become the personal power of the Han Clan. Despite this, the Han Clan maintained a very good relationship with the Black Tiger Gang’s leaders. In case there was a contention for the position of Gang Leader, the Han Clan always stayed on the sidelines. Because of this, the Han Clan wasn’t suppressed by the sect.
Han Buli was a special existence in the Han Clan. He’s the Clan’s third Young Master. However, since his talent wasn’t very good, he ate countless pills until he reached the Core Formation Stage. A person like him couldn’t survive in a cruel family, yet Han Buli was alive and well. Moreover, in the Han Clan, almost everyone gave him face.
This wasn’t to say that the Han Clan were a kindhearted folk. In fact, the internal competition within the Han Clan was something that ordinary people couldn’t imagine. The reason Han Buli managed to gain a foothold in the Han clan despite being a Core Formation Stage was his ability, Morph Presence.
Morph Presence was the product of combining a divergent ability and a technique. This allowed Han Buli to turn into another person instantaneously, including their temperament. Moreover, there were no flaws in his disguise. Most importantly, no matter how strong the expert was, they wouldn’t be able to see through Han Buili. Because of this one ability, Han Buli became a formidable figure in the Darkness Hall.
The Darkness Hall was in charge of espionage and assassination. With an ability to change his appearance, there was no information that cannot be obtained nor a person who can’t be assassinated. Therefore, the Han Clan placed great importance upon Han Buli.
The people of the hideout knew how irreplaceable Han Buli was to the Han Clan. Naturally, the Nascent Soul Expert in the hideout knew about this. So when he heard Han Buli’s report, he immediately became nervous. He immediately accompanied Han Buli and went out to the place where Firecloud and Zhao Hai were fighting.
But just as Han Buli left the hideout, Zhao Hai’s jade sword message arrived stating that he was safe. Although Han Buli was surprised by Zhao Hai’s strength, he still followed the Nascent Soul Experts towards the battlefield.
Before long, the two arrived at the snowy mountain. Naturally, the place was deserted. Besides the disturbed spiritual qi in the surroundings, nothing else can be seen.
The Nascent Soul Expert closed his eyes. After feeling the fluctuations in the surroundings, he frowned and said, “It’s really someone from the Roaring Flame Sect. It might be that old bat Firecloud. But you said that he was following you. Who in the sect fought him? This aura is unfamiliar. I’m sure I haven’t encountered it before.”
Han Buli certainly wouldn’t reveal that it was Zhao Hai. He shook his head and didn’t make a noise. The Nascent Soul Expert knit his brows and said, “Why would that Firecloud run over here?”
Han Buli turned to the Nascent Soul Expert and said, “This might be because of me. This time, I went to the valley to do a mission. Unfortunately, I failed. As soon as I began to act, someone found out and tried to kill me. I immediately ran away after killing that person.”
The Nascent Soul Expert nodded and said, “It seems like the Roaring Flame Sect has taken precautions. Recently, we’ve lost contact with several spies we placed in the valley.”
Han Buli nodded, “I’m already suspicious of this matter. I’m about to make a report. Martial Uncle, I won’t stay here any longer. I’ll go back immediately.”
The Nascent Soul Expert nodded and said, “Go, your duty is more important.” Han Buli nodded and then turned around and left. Before long, he passed through the transmission formation and returned to the headquarters of the Darkness Hall.
The Darkness Hall was a very mysterious group. A lot of people in the Black Tiger Gang knew about the Darkness Hall, but only a few of them knew where its headquarters was located. This also made people curious about the Darkness Hall. What they didn’t expect was that the Darkness Hall’s headquarters was located in a city!
