"Making such a commotion so late at night, I thought some dangerous creature had broken in."
Lubbock yawned and lazily went back to sleep.
"I apologize for disturbing your rest."
Hao Yun smiled and clasped his hands in apology, after all, he had kept everyone awake by his noise.
The group didn't bother with Hao Yun and went back to their rooms to rest after entering the base.
After everyone left, Hao Yun looked at the wall he had collapsed and felt a headache coming on.
"Do you need any help?"
Susanoo walked over, carrying bricklaying tools in his hand.
"Hmm, this is troublesome."
Hao Yun readily agreed, explaining that he wouldn't be able to fix it by dawn if he tried to do it alone.
A gentle evening breeze blows as one person, wielding an Imperial Arms, begins building a wall under the starry sky above.
The two quickly repaired the half-collapsed wall of the base.
As the last brick was pushed into the wall, Hao Yun wiped the sweat from his brow.
Looking up, I saw that the horizon was already beginning to lighten.
"Sigh, I didn't even have time to celebrate my breakthrough in cultivation, and instead I spent the whole night repairing a wall."
Sitting by the window, Hao Yun patted the dust off his clothes and couldn't help but sigh.
Susanoo packed up his tools, looked up and greeted Hao Yun before going to prepare breakfast.
At the dining table, Hao Yunyou slumped weakly in his chair, much to the amazement of the team members.
"What happened to you? Repairing a wall shouldn't make you this tired, right?"
Lubbock plopped down next to Hao Yun, yawned, and was still a little sleepy.
“That’s right, Mine has repaired walls more than a dozen times, and she’s never done it like this before.”
Mine, who was about to go downstairs, stomped her foot in anger after hearing Leone's words.
Leone looked up and saw Mine, then smiled and waved.
"Good morning!"
Mine glared at Hao Yun, greeted Leone, and sat down opposite Hao Yun.
Being glared at for no reason, Hao Yun innocently spread his hands, indicating that the matter had nothing to do with him.
However, when Mine's willful nature kicked in, she didn't care about any of that.
After a playful and teasing breakfast, Najendan brought a new mission.
"Quiet, news from the Revolutionary Army indicates that Anning Road has been quite turbulent lately, and there are even signs of a rebellion."
The Anning Way is a highly respected organization among ordinary people; even in Tatsumi's remote village, there are people who believe in the Anning Way.
"Treason? No way!"
Tatsumi exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course they would. Those guys from Anning Road have been completely brainwashed. They're capable of anything."
Leone scoffed; she had no liking for Anningdao.
Having come from a slum, she knew the ins and outs of Anning Road very well.
Inside Anning Road, all the baptisms and exorcisms are just a bunch of deceptive tricks.
But this deceptive trick fooled a large number of ordinary people's faith, and some even offered their wives and daughters for the use of the Anning Dao.
"Boss, do you want us to kill the leader of the Anning Sect?"
Najendan remained silent, though she secretly leaned towards Leone's suggestion.
However, Anning Road is currently gaining momentum, with more than 30,000 members. If the leader is killed rashly, it may cause even greater unrest.
"I have intelligence about the guards. According to reports from insiders, the guards are planning to take action against Anning Road soon."
Lubbock stepped forward. Coming from a merchant family, he knew how to win people's hearts, so he had many spies in the capital.
Is the intelligence accurate?
Najendan frowned. If it were true, then this would be a difficult situation.
"Absolutely true."
Can you confirm when they will make their move?
"Three days later."
Najendan took a deep breath and quickly made a decision.
“Alright, then we’ll take action in three days. Before the guards can make a move, we’ll eliminate the high-ranking members of Anning Dao.”
The revolutionary army's plan to take action against Anning Road is also due to the cooperation between the two sides. Now that Anning Road is out of control, the revolutionary army is preparing to eliminate them.
The assassination of high-ranking officials was also to prevent the leakage of intelligence within the revolutionary army.
"good."
"no problem."
The night raid team members had no objections, and the meeting ended.
"Hao Yun, stay here, I have something to tell you."
Just as Hao Yun was about to leave, Najendan called him back.
"Boss, what can I do for you?"
Najendan stared at Hao Yun for a while. To be honest, she couldn't quite understand Hao Yun.
Najendan knew the background of every member of the Night Raid Squad, except for Hao Yun, who was an exception. No matter how she investigated, she could not find out anything about his background.
"What level of strength have you reached now?"
Hao Yun pondered for a moment, wondering whether he should tell her his true strength.
"There are only the two of us here. I'm asking about your strength so that we can make arrangements for future missions."
Najendan felt helpless; the stronger Hao Yun became, the more dangerous he seemed to be.
After breaking through his strength, Hao Yun became a top expert with an indestructible body and his own internal energy. With a little stimulation, he could generate protective qi.
Hao Yun had privately tested it; with his protective aura activated, even the Imperial Arms couldn't harm him in the slightest.
As for the crimson ripples attached to the Imperial Arms, Hao Yun also tried them, barely managing to break through the protective aura and sustaining some minor injuries.
Within the Night Raid Squad, Hao Yun's strength has already ranked first.
Hao Yun met Najendan's gaze and replied casually.
"A little better than my older brother."
"Okay, you should go and rest."
Najendan waved her hand indifferently, but frowned immediately after Hao Yun left the room.
Logically, the stronger Hao Yun is, the happier she should be, but Hao Yun's identity is truly special.
Najendan could tell that Hao Yun was not fond of the Revolutionary Army, nor was he fond of the Empire.
If problems arise within the Revolutionary Army, Najendan is certain that Hao Yun will decisively flee.
"What a hassle!"
Chapter 370 The Path of Peace
In any case, Najenda ultimately acquiesced to Hao Yun's attitude, since Night Raid was desperately short of manpower.
Three days passed quickly, and night fell. All eight members of the night raid team gathered at the designated location.
"According to the BOSS's instructions, Lubbock, you and Leone are responsible for the perimeter. If the Imperial Guard arrives, remember to send a signal."
The group gathered together, and Akame began assigning tasks.
"no problem."
Leone excitedly agreed, eager to storm into Anning Road right now.
"Boss, keep your voice down, or someone will hear you."
Lubbock was helpless; every time he worked with Leone, he had to clean up her messes.
"Oh, it's okay. So what if we get discovered? We can just swagger in and be fine!"
Leone didn't take it seriously, and instead thought Lubbock was too cowardly.
"Quiet!"
"Okay, I'll shut up. Akame, you continue."
Akame glanced at Leone, then continued speaking with a sigh.
“Mine, you and Hill are in one group. Take the high ground and provide support at any time. Brand, you and Hao Yun are in one group. Come with me to assassinate the high-ranking members of Anning Road.”
With arrangements made, the group members began their work.
"Tatsumi, stay by my side and remember not to wander off."
Akame reminded Tatsumi and led him into the interior of the Tranquil Path.
In the main hall of Anningdao's headquarters, the plump and fair-skinned deputy leader was currently baptizing a young girl.
The girl stood naked in front of the vice-leader.
"Lower your head, the baptism is about to begin, don't be afraid."
The vice-leader had a wide smile on his face, his fat bulging out, and his beady green eyes gleaming with greed.
The follower of the Way of Peace knelt obediently on the ground, letting the other party do as they pleased.
