"It’s him!" Mo Ming paused the video and zoomed in. Seeing the person on the screen, he was taken aback, and then a murderous intent filled his eyes. Double Fists tensed up as well; if it weren't for his effort to suppress his inner fury, he might have smashed the screen with a punch.
The tragic death of his comrades from years ago was vividly etched in his mind, impossible to forget. Who could imagine a man as powerful as Mo Ming feeling such anger and despair every night when recalling the horrific fates of his friends? That was the knot in Mo Ming's heart, one that remained unresolved to this day.
Over the years, Mo Ming had established the "Yihun" organization to fight against the "Dark Order," aiming to uproot the organization responsible for killing his comrades and stealing national treasures. Now that he finally knew the identity of the traitor, Mo Ming felt that his hatred surpassed that for the murderer who had killed his friends.
"Is it him? Who is he?" Demon Eye scrutinized the person on the screen, having no recollection at all.
"Luo Qianshan!"
He clicked to continue playing.
"Batian, this is a dangerous time. I hope your recent actions can be more discreet. If you get caught with anything incriminating, I can't protect you," Luo Qianshan said to Long Batian.
"Is it that Mo Ming again?"
"Hmph, last time he got lucky and spared his life. I underestimated him; in just a few years, he has managed to expand his influence so much. Those useless fools! If I had known that kid would stir up so much trouble, I should have dealt with him personally back then!"
"Just a twenty-something kid? Can he really handle us?" Long Batian scoffed. "He better not cross my path; otherwise, I'll make sure he has no place to die. The so-called King of Soldiers? To me, he's just a dog!"
"Hmph, you'd better not be so careless. If it were back then, maybe you could still match him, but now he is no longer that naive boy. Even his master, Death God, might not be able to match him now. Alright, I've said what I needed to say; take care of yourself. Don't blame me for not warning you if you get caught!"
With those words, the video ended.
This video served as undeniable evidence; even Luo Qianshan's silver tongue couldn't defend him now. Once the Leader watched this video, both Luo Qianshan and Tai Zi Dang would find themselves at an end.
After watching the video, Mo Ming gritted his teeth and said, "I suspected long ago that he was the one who betrayed us; I just lacked any solid proof. Hmph! Now that I have this clue in hand, even if Luo Qianshan is Yama himself, I will go to hell to find him!"
"Luo Qianshan? A member of the Dark Order?" Demon Eye sensed the violent killing intent emanating from Mo Ming. From his gaze, he understood Mo Ming's fury towards the person on the screen and was eager to know who this individual was that could provoke such unrest in a formidable figure like Mo Ming.
"He might be from the Dark Order; that's possible. However, one thing I'm certain of is that this person is a high-ranking official in the Chinese military with countless achievements. No one knows how deep his schemes run, but his strength is on par with my master!" Mo Ming's eyes were sharp like an eagle's as he fixedly stared at the screen.
"What did you say? The military of Huaxia has also intervened in the 'Dark Order' organization? Damn, this is getting dangerous. Have you told anyone about my situation?" Demon Eye exclaimed, feeling nervous as he thought about his life.
"Don't worry, I'm very careful with my actions. I won't let you be in any danger! Demon Eye, we don't have much time left. The 'Dark Order' has become like a rabid dog. I really don't understand what they might do next. My situation is also precarious, and I hope you can dig them out quickly and expose them. That way, I'll have the confidence to confront them directly!" Mo Ming said seriously to Demon Eye.
"Rest assured, since we're in the same boat, if you die, my situation will also be dangerous. Even if it's not for you, I have to act for my own life, right?" Demon Eye nodded and said to Mo Ming, "Just give me a little more time. I've found a way to gather information on them, but I'm afraid of alerting them, so I can't make any big moves. I can only slowly hack into their system."
"Just go ahead and do it. You don't need to worry about time; my life isn't that easy to take. As long as I'm alive, your safety is guaranteed. Starting today, I'll arrange a group of skilled people to protect you. There's no need for you to go out unless absolutely necessary."
"Hey, make sure to arrange a beautiful bodyguard for me!" Demon Eye chuckled and said, "Considering that I deal with six babies every day, please find me a beauty. Even if we can't do anything else, at least she should be easy on the eyes. Staring at the screen all day is making my eyes hurt."
"Are you sure you want a beauty to keep you company?" Mo Ming said with an evil smile as he thought of someone.
"Absolutely!" Demon Eye replied excitedly. "If you bring a beauty over, it might just unlock my potential and turn me into a Super Saiyan!"
"Let's skip that; we don't need a fighting monkey."
"Come on, I was just joking." Demon Eye became anxious upon hearing this and quickly added, "You can't let me down on the beautiful bodyguard promise! If I don't get to see her, I'm not doing anything!"
"Alright, a beautiful bodyguard it is. Just one loyal warning: some beautiful things are best admired from afar and shouldn't be trifled with. If you have any funny ideas, I can't guarantee your brother won't get hurt," Mo Ming said with a mischievous grin.
"I promise I'll abide by the rules and won't mess around!" Demon Eye swore with his hand raised.
"You’re thinking too much; I'm not worried about you messing around. I'm just worried about you getting hurt," Mo Ming replied. "She's quite violent; if you anger her, good luck to you because I won't be able to help."
After saying that, the data had been copied successfully.
"Alright, I need to go now." Mo Ming uploaded the copied data onto a foreign server and removed the USB drive. Before leaving, Demon Eye repeatedly urged Mo Ming to make sure he sent over the beautiful bodyguard.
Demon Eye was quite pleased about the upcoming arrival of the beautiful bodyguard. However, Mo Ming couldn't help but secretly smile; while the bodyguard was indeed capable and attractive, she was like a rose in the dark night—beautiful but prickly. If she got angry, even if Demon Eye didn't die, he would surely suffer.
After leaving Demon Eye's place, Mo Ming went to find Wu Yong. It had been quite some time since they last met, and upon seeing each other again, Wu Yong seemed very excited and immediately wanted to spar with Mo Ming.
Regarding Wu Yong's request, Mo Ming readily agreed.
After a few rounds, Wu Yong conceded defeat. This was arguably the worst defeat he had ever faced after so many attempts. Known as the Frenzied Warrior, he should have been getting stronger with each battle, but after just a few exchanges, he had no choice but to admit his loss.
The gap was too significant; continuing would be pointless!
With Mo Ming's current speed, if he unleashed his full power, even Liufeng wouldn't last more than ten moves against him!
Noticing Mo Ming's tremendous progress, Wu Yong bombarded him with questions: "Wow, come on, honestly tell me, in less than half a year without seeing each other, how did you become so monstrous? Did you take some kind of miracle pill? Where can I get one? I want to buy it too! Damn it, no wonder you agreed so readily; are you planning to watch me make a fool of myself?"
"Hehe, where could there possibly be any miracle pills for sale? Brother Yong, you're getting funnier by the day. This is a long story; I don't even know how to explain it to you. But I can tell you that my progress is greatly related to the ancient book that Seventh Master gave me," Mo Ming said with a wry smile and a shake of his head.
"An ancient book? It can't be that incredible, right? But your rapid improvement makes me believe it. I never expected humans could tap into their potential to such an extent; it's simply monstrous!" Wu Yong exclaimed in astonishment.
"Alright, Brother Yong, let's talk about something serious!" Mo Ming smiled and said, "The main reason I'm here is that I need your help with something."
"Just tell me what it is; no need to beat around the bush," Wu Yong replied.
"I have someone very important who needs protection. I want you to take the Undead Celestial Executioner's people to protect him. Ideally, Demon Guanyin should go too; her strength is not weak. With both of you working together, I would feel much more at ease even if some experts show up," Mo Ming recalled Demon Eye's instructions and couldn't help but smile wryly as he thought of an excuse.
If he were to say that the person needing protection was a lecher who wanted help finding a beautiful bodyguard, then he would have to send Demon Guanyin!
Demon Guanyin had emotional ties with Wu Yong; if he said this directly to Wu Yong, it would probably infuriate him enough to start a fight. Although Wu Yong wasn't his opponent, Mo Ming didn't want to ruin their relationship.
Moreover, Demon Guanyin had actually been waiting nearby for quite some time; with Mo Ming's current hearing abilities, she couldn't hide from him.
Mo Ming was speaking not only for Wu Yong but also for Demon Guanyin.
"This is no problem; however, whether Guanyin will go is another matter..." Wu Yong said awkwardly.
Just then, Demon Guanyin stepped forward with her arms crossed and stated directly, "I can go, but there's one condition!"
"Go ahead, what are your conditions?" Mo Ming smiled at Demon Guanyin.
"It's simple, I want the ancient book in your hands!"
Demon Guanyin said without hesitation. When she saw Mo Ming and Wu Yong in a confrontation, she was quite surprised. Hearing that Mo Ming's rapid progress was due to an ancient book made her restless; she was eager to see just how miraculous that book was!
"The ancient book was given to me by Seventh Master; I can't give it to anyone." Mo Ming shook his head.
"Guanyin, the ancient book was given to Mo Ming by Seventh Master; how can it be casually given to others?" Wu Yong said.
"Then there's nothing to discuss." With that, Demon Guanyin turned to leave.
"I won't give you the ancient book, but I can share its contents with you."
Demon Guanyin stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Mo Ming. "It's a deal."
Mo Ming told Wu Yong the location of the Demon Eye and then left. Now that he held evidence against Luo Qianshan, he needed to act quickly to bring Luo Qianshan down. No matter how difficult it was, Mo Ming would not allow Luo Qianshan to continue living a predatory life under a sheep's disguise!
