The Blood Kylin was momentarily taken aback before his expression darkened:

"You're absolutely right. That drug they've named 'Gene Potion,' while it can turn someone into a Martial Artist, also shortens the lifespan of those injected with it. Moreover, the success rate is incredibly low. Failure means death. Countless people have been killed in the experimentation of this Gene Potion. After learning about this, we've decided to destroy their experimental bases!"

"Such a thing must never exist!" Jiang Chen said coldly:

"Human greed is the most terrifying thing. If they succeed in their research and can effortlessly create Martial Artists with potions, they will undoubtedly start mass-producing them. If Martial Artists appear on a large scale, it will inevitably cause immense chaos. Should they aim to dominate the world, then our world is doomed!"

"Exactly, and that's why the higher-ups have demanded that we destroy their research base immediately. If those two countries succeed in their research, the first to suffer will definitely be our Flame Dragon Kingdom!" the Blood Kylin said solemnly.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and fell silent.

The Blood Kylin and the others did not urge him and quietly waited.

"For such a significant matter, why did you come to us? You didn't use to know we were people of Long Ya!"

Jiang Chen suddenly looked at the Blood Kylin, puzzled. For such an important issue, how could they possibly have approached him and his companions, with whom they had never had any dealings before?

The Blood Kylin smiled faintly: "On an underground forum, someone said that all of your Dragon Flame are from the Flame Dragon Kingdom, which made me think of seeking you out. Of course, our original plan was to observe you for a while and talk about this matter once we were certain of your character. We just didn't expect you to be people of Long Ya, so there's no need for observation anymore!"

"Oh, I understand," Jiang Chen nodded.

Then, he looked up at the Blood Kylin: "Commander Blood Kylin, do you know where that research base is?"

"We have locked down an area, but it's the stronghold of the Fallen Angels Mercenary Corps!" the Blood Kylin replied with an ugly look on his face.

"The Fallen Angels Mercenary Corps?!" Jiang Chen was stunned and said incredulously, "Do you mean to say that the Fallen Angels Mercenary Corps is a force supported by the Northern Confederation and Beihai National?"

"We can't confirm that yet. We can't rule out the possibility that they are in a cooperative relationship!" the Blood Kylin left his words unfinished.

Jiang Chen's expression darkened as he said coldly, "Whether they are supported by them or in a cooperative relationship, since they threaten our Flame Dragon Kingdom, we must take them down. It's just..."

After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Chen spoke gravely: "Do you know the true strength of the Fallen Angels?"

"That... we don't know," the Blood Kylin shook his head lightly.

Jiang Chen was taken aback and said in surprise, "You don't know? How are we supposed to fight if you don't know? They are ranked second among the mercenary groups in the world, you know?"

"Mr. Dragon King, there's no need to worry. Although that is a stronghold of the Fallen Angels, it is not their only one. During this period, we have probed several of the Fallen Angels' strongholds. Each of their strongholds should have about three Paladin Knights, five hundred Martial Artists, and roughly two thousand regular members. It shouldn't exceed that by much!" Azure Dragon interjected.

Jiang Chen glanced at Azure Dragon and said in a deep voice: "If the stronghold you mention is truly the research base for the Gene Potion, then the defensive forces cannot be that limited. At the very least... it would have to be three to five times more than that!"

"Indeed, we have considered this, which is why we've come to seek Mr. Dragon King's assistance!" the Blood Kylin nodded lightly.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Chen said solemnly, "We need to plan this carefully. It would be irrational to go in blindly without knowing anything."

The Blood Kylin and the others solemnly nodded their heads, understanding this principle all too well.

Sending for Xuan Long and the rest, Jiang Chen and his group gathered to begin discussing the plan to attack the Fallen Angels' stronghold.

...

Diamond Country's Luer City.

After leaving Jiang Chen's side, the three Mo Bao brothers headed to Luer City, the closest to the dense forest, and found a hotel where they booked a private room.

"Little brother, this Dragon Flame Mercenary Group is indeed strong, and moreover, they're truly united!" the Mo Shi sighed as the food and drinks were served.

Mo Bao replied with a bitter smile, "Big brother, it's exactly because of this that I wanted to join them with you. The brotherhood they share is exactly what we've been looking for, but you all..."

It's my fault! I shouldn't have thought about monopolizing Long Yan!" Mo Hu felt a hint of regret, then said with an ugly expression, "But that Dragon King was too domineering, resorting to force at the slightest disagreement!"

"Second brother, the Dragon King is a domineering person. Otherwise, Long Yan wouldn't have made it this far. Alas!" Mo Bao took over the conversation with a wry smile and sighed softly, "It's my fault. I should have seen your intentions and warned you earlier!"

"What?" The two Mo Shis looked at Mo Bao with puzzled expressions.

Mo Bao said in a low voice, "Long Yan's Scar is one of the heirs to the Ge'er Family. Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps is his force, and half of the people in Long Yan are Flame Dragon Kingdom's cavalry. Although they are about to leave, Long Yan's boss, Dragon King, must have an extraordinary relationship with the Flame Dragon Kingdom. With these two connections, do you think we could have taken Long Yan?"

"What?"

"This..."

The two Mo Shis exclaimed in shock.

"I originally planned that after the three of us joined Long Yan, you would have realized this by yourselves without my having to say it, but who knew..."

Mo Bao shook his head with a bitter smile, "That is the Flame Dragon Kingdom, the forbidden land for sects and clans, and also the most united country. It's the best place in the world to live. If we had joined Long Yan, when we got old, we could settle down in the Flame Dragon Kingdom with their help, without worrying about being hunted by enemies, living our twilight years in peace. Isn't that exactly what we've always desired?"

The two Mo Shis fell silent, finally understanding Mo Bao's good intentions. All three brothers were no longer young; Mo Bao and Mo Hu were over forty, and Mo Shi was already into his fifties. Mo Bao was looking for a place for them to spend their old age.

But because of their own impulsivity, such a rare opportunity had been lost!

"It seems like the people from Dragon Soul are going to seek an alliance with the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group!"

"Really? Dragon Flame? Isn't that the emerging Mercenary Corps? What good does it do for Dragon Soul to seek them out?"

"How can it be useless? Dragon Flame wiped out the Dark Spider. If Dragon Soul really allies with Dragon Flame, we Fallen Angels will have to take it seriously!"

Oh, come on, that Dragon Flame is nothing. They exterminated the Fallen Angels by hiring outsiders. They're not worth worrying about!"

A burst of conversation drifted in from outside the window. The three Mo Bao brothers were stunned, and Mo Bao quietly stood up, slightly opening the window that led to the outside corridor and stealthily looked out.
