"He's dead?" the valiant man blurted out in surprise. "He's dead even with his cautious personality and his first-rate tracking skills?"

Black Blind was actually a fairly well-known assassin in , and his perception abilities were outstanding. Many times, when large adventure teams needed to deal with certain people, they would hire Black Blind to track them — and Feng Ya was no exception.

Up until now, he had never heard of Black Blind running into any problems while tracking someone.

"According to his team, an entire six-man squad was wiped out. They didn't even get a chance to fight back. Black Blind was so furious about it that he specifically contacted his friends offline to spread the word throughout the city, wanting everyone in to hunt those people down," the third-tier assassin said with a nod. "But that news is over ten minutes old. We still haven't received any updates on their whereabouts."

"The fact that they could kill a Demon patrol means they're no pushovers. Black Blind getting taken out doesn't exactly make him unjustly targeted, but we need to move faster. With Black Blind broadcasting this news, a lot of people in the city are probably going to act," the valiant man said with a slight frown.

If Black Blind had only notified the handful of large adventure teams, that would have been fine. After all, their teams were a drop in the ocean compared to the entirety of — finding intruders in the vast expanse of the would still be quite difficult.

But if everyone in the city knew about it, the competitive pressure would be enormous.

The bounty the Heart of Demons had posted externally this time was extremely generous — ten per person.

were something that could drop from killing monsters within demon territories, but the drop rate was abysmally low. Only by killing powerful monsters did the rate improve somewhat. An entire large adventure team farming all day might not even net fifteen to twenty of them.

Yet gathering twenty was enough to apply for a noble title challenge in the city. As long as you succeeded, your strength would leap forward dramatically, and from then on you'd become a noble of — the gap in status between nobles and commoners was enormous.

Moreover, for experts like them who already held noble titles, advancing further still required , and the quantities needed were even greater.

Now, with a reward of ten for killing a single person, there probably wasn't a single player in all of who wouldn't be tempted.

"Don't worry, Commander. Now that we know they came to the , finding them isn't all that hard. When I was farming monsters before, I happened to discover a Mythril . Inside was a bottle of Perception Secret Medicine — after drinking it, my sensing and tracking abilities get a massive boost for six hours. Normally, the scent trail of a player fades within an hour, but with this, I can still pick it up even after three or four hours. All we need to do is head to the coordinates Black Blind reported, and finding those people won't be difficult," the third-tier assassin said with a grin. "As for the other people in — even if they spot those players, with the strength it took to wipe out a Demon patrol, ordinary teams won't be able to lay a finger on them. We'll have plenty of time to claim the bounty."

"Good! We move out immediately. Once we find them, you take a ten percent cut of the bounty as compensation. And have the boys in the city pull out those few trump cards we've been keeping in reserve — that way, even if those people have the power to annihilate an entire Demon patrol, they won't be able to turn the tables. Even the freaks from the super guilds would have to accept their fate!"

"You're giving them too much credit, Commander. Back when the super guild War Wolves attacked us, our adventure team gave them such a headache they didn't know what hit them. And these are just some kids who crawled out of the Dark Cavern," the third-tier assassin said with undisguised contempt.

The Dark Cavern was nothing more than a small pocket dimension. The player population inside was pitifully small — probably not even half of what an ordinary kingdom had. It was only decent for leveling up and easy to find various Magic Skill Books.

How could they possibly compare to players like them who had been fighting tooth and nail on the Divine Realm continent from the very start, building from nothing right under the noses of the Ten Sacred Empires?

"I know all that. But ten per person — if we let even a few slip away, we probably won't see the Heart of Demons being this generous again anytime soon," the valiant man said.

He had never been particularly concerned about the intruders. After all, even the super guild War Wolves had suffered devastating losses in the before this. What could a few hundred intruders do?

The only thing he truly cared about was those .

"Understood. I'll go notify the boys in the city right away." The third-tier assassin immediately contacted the adventure team members who were resting in .

And at the same time, a huge stir erupted throughout as well.
