Very soon, Bai Mudan’s injuries had mostly healed, with only a small part requiring careful treatnt to fully recover in no ti.
Xiao Zheng had long since released Black Rose from bondage; at this mont, she ran over, her eyes filled with deep gratitude as she looked at Xiao Zheng.
"Thank you."
Xiao Zheng waved his hand casually, saying, "It’s nothing. Bai Mudan hasn’t woken up yet; you stay here and take care of her. Though I’ve eliminated the leader, there must be so clues left in this base. I’ll go and check; perhaps I can learn sothing."
"Okay." Black Rose nodded, then went to take care of Bai Mudan.
Xiao Zheng, however, walked outside, glanced at the ground scattered with unconscious staff, chuckled, then dragged one who appeared to have a higher status to the corner and slapped him awake.
As this person opened his eyes, he was startled to see Xiao Zheng’s smiling face, instinctively trying to escape, but Xiao Zheng pressed one hand on his shoulder, making him sit down, unable to move.
"I’ll ask, you answer," Xiao Zheng said.
The man gritted his teeth and, rather bloodthirstily, said, "Kill then; I won’t say a thing about this base!"
Xiao Zheng laughed instantly and said, "Really?" anwhile, his fingertips shot out a golden thread, piercing this person’s brain.
"Ah..."
This person imdiately felt an exceptionally tearing pain enveloping his entire body, as if his brain had been split open by an axe. This ultimate pain was utterly unbearable, and he began screaming miserably.
Xiao Zheng smiled faintly, "Not talking yet?"
In just a mont, this person felt his will was about to collapse; upon hearing Xiao Zheng’s words, how could he dare to resist? Yet, being overwheld by such pain, he couldn’t speak, so he nodded repeatedly instead.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Zheng slightly moved his fingertips, and that golden thread flew out of the man’s brain. Xiao Zheng said, "Whatever I ask you now, you will answer."
This person looked at Xiao Zheng with fear, his face pale as he nodded; at this mont, in his eyes, Xiao Zheng was like a Demon.
Xiao Zheng asked, "What’s your position in this base?"
The man answered honestly, "I am the manager here." He was quite smart, even introducing the identity of the leader Xiao Zheng had just killed, "That person was a patrol emissary sent from Headquarters, generally not handling specific affairs."
Xiao Zheng thought to himself that his eyes were indeed sharp, catching a manager right off the bat. Sharp-eyed, he noted the word "Headquarters," asking imdiately, "As you ntioned, you have soone behind you? What force is that?"
The manager hesitated. Xiao Zheng saw this, and the golden thread appeared again. Seeing this thread, the manager shivered all over and hurriedly said, "I’ll talk, I’ll talk; put it away quickly."
"Speak!"
Xiao Zheng said coldly.
The manager said, "Behind us is a Blood Clan Great Elder. This base was only recently established, and our task is to monitor Huaxia’s movents. But your Huaxia Floating City intelligence network is truly formidable, so this base was built at sea."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s heart skipped a beat. Blood Clan indeed! It seems they haven’t given up after their defeat in the last war and still harbor grand ambitions.
Thinking of this, a glint of cold light flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes. In any case, he must organize against this Blood Clan’s actions! Afterwards, he learned the location of their headquarters from the manager.
Finally, Xiao Zheng sneered, "Don’t think you can deceive . Next, I’ll ask a few more people; if their answers contradict yours, I’ll make you wish for death under the Soul Needle!"
The manager’s face turned instantly pale, saying, "I’ve spoken nothing but the truth, haven’t deceived you at all."
Xiao Zheng turned to leave, questioned a few more people, and the intelligence gathered was indeed the sa as the manager’s; it seed he hadn’t lied.
Xiao Zheng stood up, gazing into the distance, cold light flashing in his eyes, "A re Blood Clan Elder dares to spy on Huaxia; it seems they need to be taught a lesson."
Returning to the control room, Xiao Zheng saw Bai Mudan already awake, sitting in a chair, supported by Black Rose, resting.
On the ground, the leader’s headless corpse still existed, and those thick green liquids occupied the corners; the scene was chaotic and bloody.
Yet, the two won were calm in such an environnt.
Seeing Xiao Zheng enter, Bai Mudan, although physically still weak, stood up, saluted, and said, "Thank you, Evil God, for rescuing us."
Xiao Zheng laughed, "Futu and Sky Net are allies; saving you was only right, no need for ceremonials."
Black Rose spoke at this mont, "Xiao Zheng, now that this base is leveled, what should we do next?"
In this setting, the two won naturally regarded Xiao Zheng as the leader, seeking guidance at this mont.
Xiao Zheng pondered for a mont and said, "You two handle the follow-ups here. The communication system in the base is still intact; contact people from Futu Headquarters and have them co over. As for ..."
Xiao Zheng paused here, his voice turning cold, "Behind this base is a Blood Clan Great Elder. Since they harbor intentions towards Huaxia, I won’t be courteous; I’ll go and destroy them."
Upon hearing this, the two won were startled, exclaiming, "What?"
A Blood Clan Great Elder is at least a Martial Saint-level strongman; moreover, this is the East, quite far from the West. Xiao Zheng’s solo venture into the Western territories would certainly encounter nurous dangers!
Black Rose hurriedly advised, "Xiao Zheng, don’t be impulsive. You are now the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch; even if action is required, gather a few more strongn before proceeding."
Bai Mudan nodded in agreent.
Xiao Zheng shook his head, chuckled, "Never mind, I’ve made up my mind; you don’t need to persuade further."
The two won still wanted to speak, but Xiao Zheng, unlike before, was the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch now, commanding natural authority. Though they were a bit worried, they dared not defy him.
Within the base, there were naturally ships capable of sea navigation, including an advanced submarine! Xiao Zheng had learned about various modern machines when in North Africa, so operating a submarine was naturally no problem.
Imdiately, he left directly for the West to eliminate the Blood Clan Great Elder.
