2203 The headquarters of the dark group (1)
The courtyard that han buli appeared in looked very ordinary. There were several buildings in the courtyard, the tallest of which was a small three-story building. This small building didn’t look very big, and there were a few ordinary cultivators coming in and out of it. There was nothing special about it.
On top of the small building, there was a sign with three big words “mine exploration Hall.” Below the three words was a line of small words,”rare metals Branch.”
The mining Hall was just a very ordinary Hall of the black Tiger Gang. It was not the main battle Hall either. It was mainly used to issue some mining missions, record the black Tiger Gang’s mineral veins, and investigate new mineral veins.
It could be said that the mine exploration Hall was the most inconspicuous Hall in the black Tiger Gang. There was no profit to be made here. Even people from other realms would lose interest when they heard that this was the mine exploration Hall.
What no one knew was the true identity of this rare metals Branch of the mining Hall. This was the headquarters of the black Tiger Gang’s Secret operation.
This rare metal branch of the mining Hall usually did the same things as the other mining branches. They would also issue tasks and receive some news about rare metal mines. On the surface, they looked no different from any other ordinary halls.
It was because of this that when the members of the dark group entered this place, they would not be suspected by others. Others would only think that they were here to receive a mission or to hand in a mission. Han buli had long been used to this kind of situation, so he just walked into the small building like the others.
In a short while, he entered the small building. On the first floor of the small building was a very large hall. There were a few Windows in the hall. These Windows were similar to the windows of banks on earth, but there was no glass. There were only a few large tables where some cultivators received missions.
Han buli did not stay in the main hall. Instead, he walked to the stairs next to the main hall and followed the stairs up. When they saw han buli go up, they all showed envious expressions.
The first floor of this small building was where missions were issued, and the second floor was where missions were submitted. In these people’s eyes, han buli must have come here to submit his mission.
On the second floor of the small building, there were two rooms and a Hall. Both rooms were marked as task exchange room. The doors of both rooms were closed. There were two rows of chairs outside the rooms. People could sit there and wait. If you wanted to enter the room to submit your task, you had to do so one by one.
However, the hall was different. It was as designed as the first floor. There was also a bar counter there, and staff sat behind it. You could go there to submit your tasks, but the tasks there were ordinary ones. For example, you found some ore there. You just had to submit your sample stone and register what you found.
However, the two rooms were different. The quests in the two rooms were higher level quests. When you went in to hand in the quests, you had to tell them where you found it, how you found it, what the terrain was like, and what other associated minerals were there. There were a lot of questions. Therefore, there were fewer people who went into the two rooms to hand in the quests, but more people handed in the hall.
After han buli reached the second floor, he took a look at the two rooms. There were people blocking the doors of the two rooms. The small red boards hanging on the rooms indicated that there were people inside. He did not walk around. Instead, he sat down on the chair, closed his eyes, and recalled every scene when he met Zhao Hai.
Han buli was certain that his meeting with Zhao Hai was not a deliberate arrangement, but a true coincidence. However, he was still a little worried. He was going to have his family investigate Zhao Hai’s background to see if what he said was true.
To be honest, han buli really thought highly of Zhao Hai. He and Zhao Hai hit it off very well. Although the two of them had not known each other for a long time, they had a good feeling about each other. Han buli also wanted to be friends with Zhao Hai.
However, with han buli’s status, he could not make friends casually because it concerned his entire family. He had to be careful.
At this moment, the door of a room opened and a cultivator walked out. This cultivator was only at the Dharma stage and looked very ordinary. After he came out, he went downstairs.
Only then did han buli stand up and walk towards the room. The cultivator at the door did not stop han buli, clearly recognizing him. Not only did he not stop han buli, he even nodded at him.
Han buli also nodded at him and went into the room. The room looked no different from the hall outside. There was a bar with someone sitting behind it. Next to the bar was another room. The room was smaller, and he couldn’t tell what it was for.
Han buli nodded at the staff behind the bar counter, then turned and walked into the small room at the side. There was nothing in the small room except for a small teleportation array. Han buli stepped onto the teleportation array, and with a white flash, he disappeared from the room.
When han buli looked around again, he was already in a large hall, but this Hall was underground. Although there was a magic formation above him and the place was very dry, one look at the stone pillars that were not decorated much and he knew that he was definitely underground.
As soon as han buli walked out of the formation, a cultivator immediately walked to his side. The cultivator looked at han buli without saying a word.
Han buli knew the rules. He immediately took out his identity Jade card, but it was not white, but purple. It was obvious that it was different from the other Jade cards.
That person glanced at the Jade tablet in han buli’s hand and nodded. He turned around and left, not saying a word to han buli from beginning to end.
But han buli seemed to be used to that person’s position. He put away the Jade tablet and walked into the hall. There were many people in the hall, and everyone was busy. From time to time, there would be two people talking, but their voices were not very loud.
However, when those people saw han buli, they all laughed. One of them smiled at han buli and said, ” “Xiao Li, you’re back. How was the matter this time? Is it a success?”
Han buli glanced at the man and smiled. &Quot; “Third brother, sigh, don’t mention it. Damn it, I failed this time. I have something to tell third uncle, so I won’t be accompanying you.” The man nodded and patted han buli’s shoulder to comfort him. Then, he turned and left.
Han buli walked forward and soon arrived in front of a cave dwelling. This cave dwelling was not as small as the entrance of an ordinary cultivator’s cave dwelling. This cave dwelling’s entrance was very large and looked like a Hall. When han buli entered the cave dwelling, there was only a middle-aged cultivator inside. He was sitting there and flipping through a Jade slip.
When the middle-aged cultivator saw han buli, he couldn’t help but smile and say, ” “Xiao Li is here, why? How’s the mission going?”
This middle-aged cultivator was han bu Li’s third uncle. He was a Yuanying stage expert and was also the person in charge of the black Tiger Gang’s Black group. He had doted on han bu li since he was young and had the best relationship with him.
“I’m sorry, third uncle,” han buli said embarrassedly,”some operations have failed this time.”
Han buli’s third uncle furrowed his brows and said, ” “Failed? That’s fine, as long as you come back safely.”
&Quot; third uncle, ” han buli said immediately, ” I was discovered by the people of the blazing flame sect as soon as I went there. I killed a person before I ran back, but I didn’t expect that the person I killed was the grandson of the blazing flame sect’s Huo Yun. That guy chased me all the way to pudding mountain and almost killed me. &Quot;
When han buli’s third uncle heard this, he frowned and said, ” “You were discovered as soon as you went over. With your ability to change your appearance, how could you be discovered so quickly? This doesn’t seem right.”
Han buli immediately replied, ” third uncle, I’ve already heard from Huo Yun. He said that in order to deal with us, the blazing flame sect has set up a large number of warning magical formations opposite the blazing flame Valley. They have also scattered a large amount of tracking powder. As long as our people go over, they will be discovered immediately. That’s how I was discovered. &Quot;
When han buli’s third uncle heard him say this, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. &Quot; “Fire cloud? It’s that old fogey Huo Yun. Why would he tell you this?”
Han buli briefly explained how he met Zhao Hai and how he fought the enemy with Zhao Hai. After that, he said, ” “Third uncle, if the blazing inferno sect has really scattered that much tracking powder, then things will become a bit difficult. Even if we send out the messenger Jade sword, we might still be discovered by them.”
Han buli’s third uncle nodded his head and said, ” &Quot; that’s right. It seems like we have to find a way to break through their defense. By the way, that Zhao Hai you mentioned, is he reliable? ”
&Quot; he doesn’t know who I am, ” han buli said in a deep voice. &Quot; but I’d like to ask third uncle to send someone to investigate him. If he’s really reliable, I’d like to make friends with him. &Quot;
Han buli’s third uncle nodded his head and said, ” “That’s possible. According to what you said, Zhao Hai is a talent. If we can rope him into the family, it will be very beneficial to us. Alright, you can go. I will handle this matter.” Han buli responded and turned to leave.
Watching han buli leave, third uncle took out a Messenger Jade sword. After inputting some information, he sent the Jade sword out. Then, he sat down and muttered, ” “Zhao Hai, this is interesting.”
In fact, what han buli didn’t know was that his third uncle had a deep understanding of Zhao Hai. Luo Ying of the No. 23 Tower of Babel was a member of the dark group. His third uncle knew Zhao Hai’s situation better than most of the black Tiger Gang members. Even Zhang Feng didn’t know Zhao Hai better than him.
Third uncle had a rough idea of what Zhao Hai had done in the lower realm. He knew that Zhao Hai’s strength was extraordinary and that he had the power of faith. However, Zhao Hai did not seem to be a Dharma adept. The reason why Zhao Hai was recruited into the black Tiger Gang was partly because Zhao Hai met the conditions, and partly because third uncle had suggested it. However, he did not expect Zhao Hai to meet han buli so quickly and even become friends with him. This was very interesting.
The reason why third uncle released the Jade sword was to get someone to investigate what Zhao Hai had done after he arrived at the black Tiger Gang. He had no doubts about Zhao Hai’s identity
