"Brother Xiao!" Zhou Hao and Wangg Yin saw Ye Xiao getting out of the taxi and immediately went to greet him.

Ye Xiao smiled at Zhou Hao and Wangg Yin, saying, "Why are you here? Haven't you already told me the room number?"

Zhou Hao laughed and said, "Brother Xiao, why don't you tell us what you gained from visiting the Su family? Although you didn't say what exactly you were going to do there, we know it definitely wasn't simple."

"Haha, don't overthink it." Ye Xiao said, "Stay optimistic, don't just stand here; let's find a place, have a cup of coffee, and chat!"

Have coffee and chat?

Hearing this, Zhou Hao and Wangg Yin were a bit puzzled, but they still followed Ye Xiao back into the Shengtian Hotel.

They ordered three cups of Blue Mountain coffee, sitting in a corner. Whether it was due to his instinct as a former mercenary or just being cautious, Ye Xiao didn't like sitting in places that easily attracted attention.

"Linghuo Sect, have you heard of it?" Ye Xiao sipped the aromatic coffee and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Hao and Wangg Yin glanced at each other. Then, Wangg Yin said, "It's said to be a powerful martial arts sect in the Northern Territory."

"It seems you know about it," Ye Xiao said with a smile. "How long do you think it would take to bring down such a sect?"

"Huh?" Zhou Hao and Wangg Yin were shocked by Ye Xiao's words, clearly taken aback by his suggestion.

No matter whether it's a large sect or a small one, to be called a sect means they naturally shouldn't be underestimated.

"Brother Xiao, you're not joking, are you?" Zhou Hao looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao didn't lift his head but instead smelled the coffee in his cup, saying, "In such a non-professional place, being able to drink coffee of this medium quality is indeed a rarity!"

Ye Xiao's inexplicable words puzzled Zhou Hao, but at that moment, Ye Xiao suddenly raised his head, looking at Zhou Hao, and said, "Do you think I'm joking? Or do you think I just love joking around?"

Looking at Ye Xiao's smiling face, Zhou Hao felt a chill. He realized Ye Xiao was serious.

Zhou Hao quickly said, "This requires a precise plan!"

Zhou Hao didn't apologize, because he knew Ye Xiao didn't need his apology.

At this moment, Wangg Yin said, "As far as I know, Linghuo Sect is one of the few sects that pass leadership from father to son. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have lasted so long because the aptitude of martial artists varies, but Linghuo Sect has been around for over a century, and it's thriving even more. From this, it's clear Linghuo Sect isn't just any ordinary sect. So, it's tough to bring them down quickly, but not impossible. Once a sect's leader dies, it will inevitably fall into chaos due to the lack of direction!"

Zhou Hao also agreed, saying, "Indeed, it's like those syndicates. If the sect leader dies, it might even create opportunities for some people. After all, in such a sect, there are definitely many who want to replace the leader. But there's one more crucial point: sects that pass leadership like this, their leaders must know exceptionally strong skills; otherwise, they couldn't lead so many disciples. I don't know much about Linghuo Sect, but I assume the Sect Master must be quite capable."

Wangg Yin added, "Yes, Linghuo Sect has stood in the Northern Territory for over a hundred years, so its leader's power must be significant. Of course, how strong is uncertain, but I would guess at least at the Earth Rank level."

"It seems indeed challenging!" Ye Xiao chuckled softly, saying, "However, I am determined to take down Linghuo Sect. Now, I have two tasks for you: first, investigate Linghuo Sect's base in the Northern Territory; second, find out where the Sect Master Huo Qinglong's son, Huo Wensong, usually hangs out."

"Yes, Brother Xiao!" Although both tasks weren't easy, since Ye Xiao instructed them, no matter how difficult, they had to complete them.

The reason why Ye Xiao suddenly targeted Linghuo Sect was undoubtedly a question, but they didn't need to understand it.

After finishing the coffee, Ye Xiao went directly upstairs to the booked room.

Three people, three rooms, and Ye Xiao's was in the center.

As Ye Xiao was heading upstairs, Zhou Hao and Wangg Yin had already told him that the manual and the baseball case were in his room.

Ye Xiao then went straight upstairs!

In no time, he reached the room door and used the card key to unlock it.

Ye Xiao knew that it might be a while before he could strike against Linghuo Sect, so he quickly returned to the room and found the raincoat bag, obviously for the manual inside.

Ye Xiao took out the manual; it was incomplete, missing the front and back, but on the first remnant page, he could still see 'Scroll Six of Yang Gang's Golden Body.'

Seeing this, he was instantly overjoyed!

Indeed, it was a fragment of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, and it was the sixth scroll Ye Xiao most wanted to obtain.

This is what you call a pleasant surprise, where what you want comes to you.

In fact, when Ye Xiao previously fought Li Jian, he had already deduced it. After all, the True Qi inside Li Jian's body was remarkably similar to Ye Xiao's.

Therefore, Ye Xiao suspected this and threatened Li Jian to get this manual.

Ye Xiao predicted that Li Jian might have been cultivating a fragment of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, but he didn't expect it to be the sixth scroll, the one he currently needed most.

It's what's expected within reason, yet beyond expectation.

At the same time, Ye Xiao couldn't help but be curious about Li Jian, someone who could cultivate True Qi just by relying on a fragment of the Nine Yang Divine Skill. He was definitely a genius, and if possible, Ye Xiao would really want to make good use of this fat man, Li Jian.

Opening the 'Yang Gang's Golden Body' of the sixth scroll of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, Ye Xiao was amazed to discover that the previous five scrolls of the Nine Yang Divine Skill primarily discussed either healing or attacking, but Yang Gang's Golden Body focused on defense.

More precisely, it was about enhancing defense.

Although it's said the best defense is a good offense, having an absolute defense while maintaining strong attacks is indeed a kind of transcendence.

Ye Xiao adjusted his excited state and soon calmed down.

Then, he slowly and seriously studied the 'Yang Gang's Golden Body.' The thin pages took Ye Xiao a full four hours to read.

As the level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill increases, the writings in the manual also become more and more cryptic.

For martial artists practicing from manuals, the first requirement is talent, and the second is comprehension!

Sometimes, this comprehension is more vital than talent; no matter how talented a fool is, it's hard to achieve high mastery.
