Chapter 3469
As soon as he finished speaking, Fade raised his head, and his eyes darkened. He turned into a phantom and rushed toward the masked men. Then, there was a slight sound of groaning and moaning.
After a while, the forest returned to silence.
More than 20 masked men fell to the ground, dead.
Only the masked leader was left. At this moment, he was stepped on by Fade. Fade asked coldly, "Who are you?"
The masked leader pursed his lips, looking as if he would rather die than speak.
Fade did not bother to talk nonsense. He directly turned the positive energy on his fingertips into dozens of Qi needles and injected them into the head of the masked leader.
Immediately, the masked leader's body became distorted. An extreme pain caused his cheeks to rapidly swell.
But her throat seemed to be blocked by something and he could not make any sound.
After about ten seconds, the masked leader finally could not bear the pain. He quickly nodded and made a whining sound.
Seeing this, Fade gently tapped his finger to relieve the pain of the masked leader and said, "Go ahead!"
The masked leader gasped for breath and said, "We are from the Greenhill Ville. We received a task to destroy a small lode nearby."
"Greenhill Ville! Lode!"
Fade had a slight impression of this. There were various forces of different sizes in the vicinity of Double City. Some occupied a mountain top and established a cottage. Some surrounded the vicinity with fields and built a manor.
The Greenhill Ville was such a force. It had a certain reputation outside of Double City.
As for the lode, Fade had also heard about it. There were about ten or twenty large and small lodes near Double City. Among them, the biggest two Fire Crystal lodes were controlled by the two mayors, Renzo and Silvertooth. They let the humans and demonic beasts to mine separately.
The other small lodes were divided up by various forces in Double City based on their abilities.
Near the forest, there was a small Fire Crystal lode. It was said that the boss was a rich man in Double City.
"Why do you want to destroy the lode? Who gave you the order?" asked Fade.
The masked leader shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just received a mission and then carried it out."
"You don't know?" Fade did not believe it.
The masked leader hurriedly explained, "What I said is true. Our Greenhill Ville has always accepted tasks in this way. There is a dedicated middleman who comes to offer a price and to deliver the message. We will not ask much. We will take action after getting the deposit."
"As for this mission, we only know that it was issued by a big shot in Double City. The reward is not low. We must act neatly and leave no trace." When this guy spoke, Fade released his vital soul slightly and after some investigation, he was basically certain that the masked leader didn't tell a lie.
As for the task, Fade did not continue to ask. After all, he was not interested in it.
Then, he thought of something and asked, "How did you notice me just now?"
"I've held my breath, therefore it should be hard for you to detect it."
The masked leader said, "Our Greenhill Ville has been active outside the city, therefore we are familiar with the environment outside the city." "When we passed by this forest just now, I found that the Falling Star Plate herbs on the ground showed signs of being collected, and the traces were very fresh. Therefore, I judged that someone was nearby and did not go far." "After that, I released my aura to explore, but I did not find anything unusual. But in our team, there is a half-demon with wolf blood. His sense of smell is far sharper than that of an ordinary martial artist."
"Therefore, I asked him to investigate and he found a slightly different aura."
"However, the aura is still well hidden, and he is not able to tell the specific direction. Therefore, I decided to attack together. We used our positive energy and medicinal powder to launch a ranged attack. In this way, we can definitely force the opponent out."
"In the end, we..."
Speaking of this, the masked leader stopped talking.
Fade was slightly astonished. Originally, he had thought that his strength and methods would be enough in both Double City and even the entire Taeyoon World.
But he did not expect that he had underestimated them. It seemed that the local people all had their own unique skills.
Especially the half- demon and demonic beasts here, Fade knew very little about them.
It seemed that he had to be more cautious in the future, and he had to be more resourceful.
Thinking of this, Fade sighed.
Seeing this, the masked leader looked at Fade with a pleading look and said, "Master, I've said what you want me to say. Please spare my life. I will be very grateful..."
"Pal-
Fade did not waste any more time on him. A burst of positive energy prated the masked leader's forehead and killed him.

After killing the masked team, Fade spent a little more effort to completely destroy their traces and eliminate his traces at the same time.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
It was not Fade's fault. After all, the masked leader had said that the task this time was done by a big shot in Double City.
If the other party found out that the mission had failed, they would definitely send someone to investigate. At that time, it would be bad if they found out that Fade was involved.
After dealing with these things, Fade deliberately took a detour and headed back.
On the way back, he saw the small lode mentioned by the masked leader.
Therefore, Fade took a closer look.
There was nothing special about the small lode. Under the supervision of the supervisor, the worker dug laboriously. From the lode, they
excavated pieces of Fire Cet
raw
stones. Finally, they were gathered together and sent to the direction of Double City.

Because of years of digging, the nearby mountain range was full of holes. On the mountain wall, all kinds of farge and small, long and short mine caves were intertwined together, forming a maze in the mountain.
After observing for a while, Fade did not find anything unusual. He didn't want to get involved, therefore he left quietly and returned to Double City.
Back at the Autumn Lake Studio, Fade dealt with the Star Falling Plate herbs collected for cultivation.
The effect was not bad. Fade indeed felt that his cultivation had stabilized a little. His speed of advancing to the peak of stage nine of the Star Fire Realm had also increased.
After cultivating for a few days, he went home in the evening. Isabelle pulled Fade and asked, "Mr. Chen, are you free tomorrow afternoon?" "Uh, what's wrong?" Fade asked.
Isabelle said, "Talisha from the pharmacy wants to invite us to lunch. She wanted to thank you for helping her before."
"There's no need to thank me over lunch. It's not a big deal," Fade said.
Isabelle said, "Fire has agreed, so..."
"Fire, why did he..." Fade was a little confused.
Isabelle said, "That day, Talisha came to my house to thank me. Fire happened to be there. He said that it was he who had beat those people that day, therefore Talisha..."
Hearing this, Fade finally understood. It must be that the Fire Dragon could not control its mouth and boast in front of others.
"Where did that guy go? The city guards are still investigating the murderer that day. How dare he boast to others? Let's see how I will teach him a lesson!" Fade said angrily.
Isabelle said, "He went out and said he would return for the luncheon tomorrow afternoon."
"That brat!" Fade was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. Since that guy had agreed, he could only agree to go to the luncheon.
