Qin Ming’s Intelligence

The Pill Alliance suffered a heavy blow, and this news was immediately relayed to Zhang Chongtian's ears.

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Zhang Chongtian almost shattered the table.

"Preposterous, absolutely preposterous."

The Pill Alliance would not have been in such a passive position, but Qin Ming had killed over a hundred Martial Emperors in two moves on the fighting platform; then, in the end, he used a seven-move combination to overturn the entire platform, causing the severely injured Martial Emperors lying on it to die on the spot.

Even those who hadn't died were finished off by Qin Ming's final move, leaving over two hundred Martial Emperors dead just like that.

This left him with absolutely no manpower to use now.

Furthermore, Shadow was naturally adept at assassination; even if he had the manpower, they would be no match for professional killers.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Zhang Chongtian paced back and forth in the room, deep in thought.

"Alliance Leader, why don't we also recruit personnel to kill Shadow members?" a Young Martial Artist suggested in a low voice.

"What good would that do?" Zhang Chongtian frowned and said, "You are not unaware that the true core figures of Shadow are all hidden extremely deeply; they either don't strike, or they investigate thoroughly before acting, ensuring success before making a move."

"All we can kill are some peripheral Martial Artists. These Martial Artists are just people recruited by Shadow. What's the point of killing more? As long as they spend Spirit Stones, they can recruit many more."

He had also considered hiding the Pill Alliance, but their main business was Medicinal Pills. They were not skilled at assassination, nor were they skilled at hiding, so they couldn't hide at all.

"That's not even what gives me the biggest headache. What I find most troublesome is that Shadow has actually started selling seventh-grade perfect elixirs. Although there aren't many, this is a heaven-shattering event. It will cannibalize our Pill Alliance completely. In the future, people in the world will only know to buy Medicinal Pills from Shadow and will not come to the Pill Alliance to buy them." Zhang Chongtian knitted his brows and said with a bitter face.

"My Lord, then what should we do?" The Young Man understood too; the Pill Alliance was built on Medicinal Pills, and its core business was also Medicinal Pills. If the refined Medicinal Pills couldn't be sold, they wouldn't need to wait for Shadow to strike; they would perish on their own.

"What else can we do? The Old Ancestor is unwilling to act. Now we can only collect intelligence on Qin Ming and then take the next step." Zhang Chongtian rubbed his brow and said listlessly.

During this period, he had been heartbroken over Qin Ming's affairs.

The Old Ancestor would not be able to strike against Qin Ming until he had thoroughly investigated intelligence on Qin Ming. Regarding a mysterious Martial Venerable, an Expert hidden in the darkness, no one dared to act rashly.

Only after collecting intelligence on Qin Ming and having a foolproof plan would the Old Ancestor act based on Qin Ming's weaknesses.

"Cowardly and afraid of death!" Zhang Chongtian cursed inwardly.

"Alliance Leader, Alliance Leader, good news! Intelligence on Qin Ming has been found." A Middle-aged Man dressed in white clothes ran in with a joyful expression.

Upon hearing the shout, Zhang Chongtian stood up: "What, intelligence on Qin Ming has been found?"

A month ago, he had been investigating intelligence on Qin Ming, but at that time he didn't even know Qin Ming's name. He only had the portrait and the two clues of the Huayu Sect, making it very difficult to investigate.

Now, he knew Qin Ming's name. Moreover, the surname Qin was not common in the Great Xia Dynasty to begin with. By checking bit by bit based on the headquarters location of the Huayu Sect, he had finally obtained intelligence on Qin Ming.

Thinking about how he had run his legs off and shouted until his throat was hoarse for the sake of intelligence on Qin Ming during this time, he couldn't help but feel excited.
