“Guard Wang, someone was sure going to find out the hideout today wasn’t he..hohoho..” Lu Shimming smiled, his face turning smug.

“What can we say, Youngster Shi, it's not an easy task. We have been on site trying to find it for a good while now..” Guard Wang smiled, his face having a glee too.

‘These two..’ A vein popped up on Wu Feng’s forehead. But, they were indeed right. They really had gone all around the city, and yet failed to find any place with a bloody and resentful aura.

‘How are they hiding so much blood?’

The question remained a mystery.

Their group soon increased the searching area, venturing into the outer areas of the City.

“Maybe they have already left the city..” Guard Wang muttered as the sun started to go down.

“These guys sure are holding onto their masks..” Wu Feng’s face had a frown on it.

“Mask?” Lu Shimming looked at the guy, and suddenly his eyes flickered with a gleam, “That's right! Mask!”

“Huh..what's with the mask?” Wu Feng asked with a weird look.

“What if we can’t find them because they are masking their presence?” Lu Shimming asked with a serious look on his face.

“What can possibly mask such a resentful aur-” Guard Wang’s words suddenly came to a stop. He had come to realize. There was indeed something that could do that.

“Red River..” Wu Feng muttered with a smile, and he turned his head towards its direction.

Things suddenly seemed a bit interesting now.

…

The Red River was connected to the Rotten Valley, and corpses were occasionally found floating in it. This place had become a hotspot for undead and evil spirits. And, hence, hosted a strong aura of Yin Qi, mixed with resentment.

The River stretched and made a turn across the city. And the major forces in the city all had their bases located around it to face any unseen circumstances.

“Young Master, this might be a bad idea. We should seek permission from higher ups first..” Guard Wang felt like crying, but Wu Feng had no intention to stop.

“The news might leak. You should know that..” Wu Feng shook his head. Time was of essence here, he couldn’t take the risk.

“But, this might really cause a lot of trouble..”

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

“We just need to make sure we are not caught.” Lu Shimming chimed in.

“I like that..” Wu Feng revealed a smile.

Guard Wang felt a bit light headed looking at the two youngsters. They were currently headed towards the base of Chen Clan. If they were caught trespassing, it would definitely lead to a mess.

In the silence of night, three figures quietly jumped over the walls of the Chen Clan.

“Let's do this..”

Hence, began a long night..

…

Each of the bases of different powerhouses situated near the Red River were infiltrated by the three men in black. Even though people couldn’t catch them, it surely did manage to raise their guards.

It was also said that the Second Young Master of Wu Clan had been chasing after this group of men, who seemed to be Evil Cultists. And, he seemingly managed to chase after them at each location.

“We will let you know if we find anything on our ends..” A guard from the Su Family thanked Wu Feng, and promised to let him know about things if they had any progress on their hands.

“Well, I will be waiting for good news then. We can’t let such rascals run around..” Wu Feng nodded with a smile, and then turned around to leave with Guard Wang.

“This was the last place..” Guard Wang looked at Wu Feng, his nerves slowly calming down.

They had been doing this throughout the whole night. First infiltrate, and search. When they were caught, one of them would lure the people chasing them while Wu Feng would get back to his Young Master outfit, and intercept them. All while pretending he was chasing after them as well. This would buy enough time for the other person to escape.

“Are you sure it was the last place?” Lu Shimming slowly came out of the bushes, having changed his clothes too. It was a good thing that the guards who were chasing them were only at the Qi Refinement stage.

“Where else is left?” Wu Feng asked with a frown, he surely didn’t remember leaving any place out.

“Wu Estate..” The moment those words came out of Lu Shimmings’ mouth, a silence engulfed the surrounding.

“What are you trying to say...” A vein popped up on Guard Wang’s forehead as he held Lu Shimming by his collar, ready to punch him, depending on the choice of his next words.

“It won’t be fair, if you search everyone but yourself? Or you can guarantee that there is no bad side to you guys?” Lu Shimming smiled, but inwardly he was freaking out. This was honestly a bad move, considering that he had been taking his relationship with these people to a positive side. But, this was something he needed, he had to pull that rat Wu Shuang out of his hole and smash him. After all, he might run out telling his secrets to everyone.

“You!!” As Guard Wang was about to punch him, Wu Feng’s voice rang out.

“Leave him, he is not wrong..”

“Young Master!” Guard Wang looked at him in disbelief. This was the Wu Estate they were talking about. He was raised there as an orphan, that was his family. His home.

It was true that there was a lot of infighting, but something evil like this? He was confident that there was no one so low in the family.

“Fine, but he better take responsibility for his words when we don’t find anything..” Guard Wang glared at Lu Shimming as he let him go.

‘Ah..I have totally offended him..’ Lu Shimming smiled bitterly. This was going to take time to heal.

As the group made their way towards the Wu Estate, Wu Feng looked towards Lu Shimming, and muttered in a low voice, “Who do you think it is?”

As Lu Shimming was about to feign ignorance, his eyes met with Wu Feng, and he felt an intense killing intent emanating from them.
