"I will walk myself." Zijingji said coldly.

The two people ignored her, directly escorting Zijingji into a black stretch limousine.

Zijingji glanced at the two of them indifferently. With the organization's intelligence capabilities, they must have guessed most of the events that happened on the plane.

Because, besides her, no one else from this mission returned alive.

And, the mission was not completed.

The black stretch limousine gradually entered an underground garage. After passing the guards' verification, Zijingji and a few others went directly down to the third basement level via an elevator.

Entering the third basement level, a dim and spacious corridor appeared in front of them, with a man in a suit standing at intervals not far apart.

The two released Zijingji, standing still, while Zijingji snorted coldly and walked forward.

Last time in that hall, a huge skull insignia still hung on the wall, and Qingdaofu stood there with his hands behind his back.

"Zijingji, you have disappointed me somewhat."

Qingdaofu's voice revealed no hint of joy or sorrow.

Zijingji looked at him coldly, "Is it just because I survived, that the failure of this mission has to be my fault?"

"Isn't that so?"

Qingdaofu turned around, his face very calm.

He slowly walked towards Zijingji, the crisp sound of his leather shoes echoing around.

"Qingdaofu, do you know how Huaxia says it?" A sarcastic expression appeared on Zijingji's face, "'If you trust someone to do something, don't interfere; if you have doubts, don't use them.' Since you entrusted this mission to me, you shouldn't have placed two others as well. Do you think a three-headed train can run fast?"

Qingdaofu said lightly, "You only needed to provide a strategy."

"I did." Zijingji said coldly, "But whether they listen or not is another matter."

"Qingdaofu, your decision was a mistake. You not only arranged for me but also arranged for Song Ziwen to oversee this mission, but in fact, all decision-making power was in Half-demon's hands. Failure was inevitable."

Zijingji's expression was icy.

"I don't want you to make any excuses." Qingdaofu stood in front of Zijingji, "You need to know the organization doesn't like excuses."

"What I'm saying is the truth."

There was no change on Zijingji's face.

Qingdaofu stared coldly at Zijingji, his face expressionless.

After a while, Qingdaofu walked away.

"Talk about what happened with this mission." Qingdaofu said, with his hands behind his back, walking to another side to look at some murals, "Not only did we lose so many experts this time, but we also lost a Divine Realm expert. You know the value of a Divine Realm expert."

"I know, this is thanks to Song Ziwen and Half-demon's indecisiveness." Zijingji said lightly, "From the start, my stance was to first kill the King of Mercenaries with all our might and then complete the mission. But Half-demon said it wasn't in the organization's interest, and a large number of three and four-star experts plus Ji Yi died at his hands."

"By the time Half-demon realized he wanted to kill the King of Mercenaries, he no longer had the strength." Zijingji said indifferently, "He was reluctant to use his full strength, which led to our lack of power from the start."

"What happened to that batch of products?"

"Half-demon ambushed the King of Mercenaries, but didn't expect the other side to call in the Dragon Team." Zijingji paused, "That batch of products has all fallen into the hands of the Dragon Team."

Bang!

Suddenly, Qingdaofu punched a nearby pillar fiercely, the pillar made of special material emitted a crisp, muffled sound.

He turned around, his face gloomy, "Zijingji, this batch of products was our secret weapon."

"It's unrelated to me." Zijingji said plainly, "If you want to blame someone, blame the dead Half-demon."

Qingdaofu calmed his emotions, "Then tell me why, even after the Divine Realm expert Frederick went over, the matter was still unresolved."

Zijingji was silent for a moment, "At first, Frederick seriously injured Ren Feng and knocked him into the water. We all thought he was dead; unexpectedly, after boarding the plane, he attacked, and his strength was even greater. Frederick was no match for him."

At this point, fear crept onto Zijingji's face.

Qingdaofu frowned involuntarily.

"He rose directly from the Heavenly Realm to the Divine Realm and killed Frederick. Huyan, Song Ziwen and the others all died at his hands. I was lucky; when he wanted to kill me, Xia Wenxue was thrown off the plane by Half-demon. He went to save her, and that's how I survived."

Zijingji recounted everything.

Qingdaofu was silent for a moment. Just then, Gordon came over and whispered a few words into Qingdaofu's ear, "Qingdaofu, the Song Family sent a message asking about the progress of the matter."

"Progress?" Qingdaofu's face was icy, but internally he was moved.

"Reply to the Song Family, saying that the mission failed and we couldn't enter the core." Qingdaofu said lightly, "Song Zishan was also killed. The one who killed him was called Ren Feng. If they want to join the core, they should help the organization eliminate Ren Feng."

"Yes."

Gordon bowed and then retreated.

Afterward, Qingdaofu looked at Zijingji again, "You can leave for now. The organization will continue to investigate this matter, and we'll update you eventually."

Zijingji snorted coldly, turned around and left, but stopped again before exiting.

"Qingdaofu, a word of caution — the King of Mercenaries is terrifyingly strong now. He's determined to oppose the organization. If you want to kill him, you must use those close to him as leverage."

Watching Zijingji leave, Qingdaofu's face remained calm, but deep in his eyes, it was unclear what he was contemplating.

...

Meanwhile, Ren Feng and Xia Wenxue returned within the Huaxia Realm.

The plane landed in a manor on the outskirts of Jiangnan City.

Long Yue and other Dragon Team members were already present.

Seeing Ren Feng disembark, Long Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but when she saw him helping a woman down too, she slightly frowned.

"Xue'xue, come down."

Ren Feng assisted Xia Wenxue down, as members of the Dragon Team looked on.

"Ren Feng, there are some things I need to discuss with you. Come with me." Long Yue said calmly.

"Wait for me a moment." Ren Feng smiled at Xia Wenxue before following Long Yue into the house.

"I really have you to thank this time. If not for your rescue efforts, I might have ended up spending my days alone on that deserted island." Ren Feng said with a smiling face.

Long Yue snorted lightly with a hint of coolness and without saying a word, she flung a file in front of Ren Feng.

"These are some materials we've discovered in the past few days." Long Yue said softly, her face also carrying a trace of gravity, "If what's in these materials is true, then this organization could be quite troublesome."
