My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 388 Dark Web Orders: The Mastermind Emerges

Zhongzhou City.

After a night of turmoil, peace was finally restored once again.

Master Zheng and Master Feng, who ran a talent trading business, only emerged from the private club's defensive formation and returned to their family after confirming that Zhongzhou Immortal Mansion had completed the final battlefield cleanup.

Although no bodies could be seen along the way, there was still blood left on the streets that had not been cleaned up, and deep pits were left everywhere where buildings had disappeared.

The once prosperous Zhongzhou City is like a beautiful jigsaw puzzle with countless holes cut out, making people sigh.

"The Heavenly Court is truly becoming more and more wretched."

If the loss of the seventy-two cities along the eastern coast was somewhat understandable...

When Zhongzhou was attacked this time, there was neither the Great Sage Bo Xun lying in wait nor the Dark Web secretly plotting anything. It was a direct, head-on battle between the Heavenly Court and the Blissful Demon Land.

With Venus, three Great Emperors, and countless gods, their combat power is by no means inferior to that of the nine Great Sages.

Moreover, Lord Meng Shifei suddenly launched a sneak attack and used the Money Can Attain Divine Power System to suppress the surrounding area. Logically speaking, the Heavenly Court should have the advantage.

The results of it?
As a result, they were forced into a bet with the other party, and they lost the bet!

"Alas, our Heavenly Court, which controls the mortal realm, should theoretically gather all the talents in the world, but unexpectedly, in terms of combat strength in the mortal realm, we are inferior to those demons? This is too ridiculous."

"Isn't it ridiculous? Over the years, we powerful families have squeezed out resources far too much!"

"Of course, I'm not siding with the poor, but in this situation, without the poor, who will fight those evil demons and heretics? Who will protect the interests of us, the families with divine bloodlines?"

"Take Li Wei for example! If it weren't for him yesterday, do you think anyone in the human realm could defeat Sun Buwu, the reincarnation of the Great Sage? The Heavenly Court would probably be completely wiped out by now!"

Upon hearing the name, Master Feng couldn't help but recall the scene from the previous night, and a chill ran down his spine.

"That kid is a complete madman! I saw him being torn apart by Sun Buwu's four corpse treasures, and he was even smiling. Can you imagine? That kid was still laughing!!"

Master Zheng couldn't help but swallow hard: "Yes, this kind of will to win even at the cost of one's own life is truly terrifying!"

"Moreover, he has now defeated the second incarnation of the Great Sage, winning two rounds for the Heavenly Court. He can be said to be the only remaining face of the Heavenly Court in this Zhongzhou incident. He will definitely be cultivated in a big way in the future, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely become one of the gods."

Master Feng agreed with this assessment: "As the saying goes, there are bound to be monsters at the end of a dynasty. Given the current situation of the Heavenly Court, it's about time that some monsters were born!"

"So yesterday I carefully investigated Li Wei's upbringing and found that this kid should have great fortune. In the future, he might even rise against the odds and become one of the big shots in the Heavenly Court. We must never offend such a person!"

Beep beep! Beep beep!
Suddenly, the cell phone on Master Zheng's waist rang. He took it and his eyes narrowed instantly.

"what happened?"

"Remember that mysterious buyer I told you about before? He's reappeared, and he's even ordered an additional 2 people, demanding delivery soon!"

Master Feng immediately perked up: "Old Zheng, if this person is really the buyer behind the Kong family, then he is the person Li Wei is looking for. We absolutely cannot make a mistake at this time!"

The black market rules and talent trading codes that prohibit the disclosure of buyer information are no longer important.

Anyway, they are the rule-makers, so they have flexible bottom lines!
Master Zheng nodded: "Understood! But we can't be sure yet. If we're wrong, Li Wei might think we're playing him. So, no matter what, let's meet with the buyer first and find out what's going on!"

With that in mind, he quickly made a multi-layered encrypted phone call to the buyer, requesting a face-to-face meeting.

The other party quickly agreed, and it just so happened that the meeting would take place at the same private club as last night, so Master Feng and Master Zheng hurriedly returned the way they came.

On the way, Feng Erye couldn't help but wonder, "That's strange! Doesn't this buyer know that Li Wei is looking for him? He just swaggered in like that, isn't he too unsuspecting?"

Master Zheng had a bad feeling: "Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't happen, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless the other party has an incredibly powerful background, they don't believe a few ants like us would dare to report them! They might not even care whether Li Weifa discovers them!"

As they spoke, the two returned to the club and entered each other's VIP private rooms.

After pushing open the door,

The two then saw an old Taoist priest dressed in ancient robes, his face showing signs of decay and age, sitting cross-legged on a sofa, breathing in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

no doubt,

This is an ancient version of a monk from the past, still carrying a strong aura of an ancient practitioner.

But it's just too old!

Master Zheng and Master Feng had seen many ancestors in the family, but none of them had ever had such a deep, decaying, and old-world aura.

As is widely known, the older something is in the Heavenly Court, the more noble it is.

So the two of them became more respectful for no apparent reason, and clasped their hands in a fist and asked, "May I ask your honorable name, senior?"

The old Taoist priest opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "Does your generation's black market transactions still involve investigating the buyer's background?"

God? ! !

Master Zheng quickly suppressed his inner turmoil and cautiously said, "The black market doesn't ask about origins or backgrounds, but this is the first time you've cooperated with us, and you're asking for 100,000 boys and girls with special birth dates right off the bat. Even for refining a supreme weapon, you wouldn't need that many people!" "So how do I know if you're using a baiting tactic? After all, our families have been under close scrutiny by some people lately!"

Master Zheng deliberately brought up Li Wei's matter.
The old Taoist priest's wariness indeed lessened considerably: "Haha, you lot certainly have reason to worry. Very well, I'll dispel your concerns then."

brush!
The old Taoist priest reached out and summoned four young boys and girls. Before Master Zheng and Master Feng could react, the old Taoist priest opened his mouth and swallowed the four of them.

Click!

Crunch! ! !

The ear-piercing chewing sounds mixed with shrill screams were like heavy hammer blows to Feng and Zheng, leaving their minds blank.

Although they were in the human resources business, they had witnessed many cruel scenes of human resource processing and had countless acts of violence on their hands.

But the purpose of processing human materials is to extract the precious and mysterious essence of the human body to serve other immortal techniques. Who the hell has ever seen human materials sashimi eaten raw?

Gum!

The old Taoist priest swallowed the blood and flesh in his mouth, then forced a blood-stained smile: "Now you two should understand that I have no connection with the Thunder Department, right?"

Master Zheng was already terrified and said nervously, "Of course not, but 100,000 people is no small number. We need time to prepare, and Li Wei is investigating us very closely right now, so we need to pay more!"

The old Taoist priest casually tossed over an ancient storage bag.

When Master Zheng took a look, he saw that there were at least 100,000 top-grade spirit stones neatly arranged among them.

“Senior, although there are many of these spirit stones, their quality is not very good. They are obviously from previous eras, and their spiritual energy purity and content are not as good as the modern versions. Therefore, I can only estimate their value at 6 billion. What do you think?”

Okay, that counts as a deposit.

The old man stood up, quickly wrote down an address, and handed it to Master Zheng: "You have ten days to prepare someone and send them to this location. We'll send someone to pick them up."

"no problem!"

As a deity, this old Taoist priest should not appear in the mortal realm casually. The reason he was able to appear in Zhongzhou this time was probably because of yesterday's battle between the righteous and demonic factions. So after he finished his business, he quickly disappeared.

Looking at the blood splattered on the ground, Master Zheng felt a sudden wave of nausea for no reason: "Damn it! That old guy has all sorts of ancient bad habits, eating raw food is such a disrespect to human life! Brother Feng, can you figure out his background?"

"I can't tell. I'm afraid we'll have to ask a professional to check it out."

There aren't many people in the entire Three Realms who can track down gods, and since they don't dare to ask anyone from Heaven, they can only open the Dark Web and seek help from cultivators in the dark world who are skilled in tracking and investigation.

This immediately piqued the interest of the dark web: "This case must be related to that kid, right? Fine, I'll go myself!"

Li Wei helped Him a lot in Zhongzhou City this time, so He should do something in return.

Soon enough, Master Zheng and Master Feng heard a notification from the dark web—someone had accepted the order!

"So fast?"

The two men turned on their phones and asked doubtfully, "We might be tracking a god. Are you really a professional?"

Dark Web: [Professional service, boss!!]

Ten days later!

Master Zheng found 100,000 people as promised and then came to the transaction location. Soon he saw the old Taoist priest again.

Excellent! These are all top-notch talents!

The old Taoist priest took a deep sniff of the children's scent, his mouth watering greedily, making one wonder if he was about to pounce and feast on them at any moment.

But a certain task bound Him tightly, so He ultimately held back.

This is the remaining money; I'm taking these people with me!

Master Zheng did the math and asked in confusion, "It seems you've given too much!"

[There will be plenty of deposits for the next round! Remember, this time next year we also want 100,000 people still trading here!]

After saying this, the old Taoist priest led his men away, not only concealing their tracks through various means along the way, but also traveling between heaven and earth, constantly shifting their positions through the spatial labyrinth above the nine heavens and the dark, gloomy earth veins below the ground.

They almost lost track of the dark web!
[Such impressive stealth and teleportation techniques! The forces behind these people seem more complex than I thought! But there seems to be a shadow of an old friend about him.]

The Dark Web looked at the old Taoist priest and found him increasingly familiar, especially after the priest unleashed some unusual spells, which gave it a bad feeling.

[Could this guy be...?!]

Just then, the old Taoist priest finally emerged from the earth's veins and arrived at a vast mountain, where he entered a small Taoist temple.

Looking up at the three characters "Wuzhuang Temple" at the entrance, the dark web user couldn't help but sigh.

[You little rascal, it seems you've really uncovered something extraordinary this time!]
