Hoseok walked over with a dark expression upon seeing that the two were still whispering to each other. “Alright, get a move on, or else Boss is going to be mad!”

Hoseok was their leader with the strength to back it up, and the duo immediately stood up straight and nodded seriously.

After the three of them fell in, Hoseok suddenly turned his head around and looked at Donghyuk with an incredibly serious stare. “Did you see Miss Lalisa?”

“Yes, I did.” Donghyuk replied with an expression of awe. “She was even scarier than you described her to be!”

Jiu Bing breathed deeply, suppressing his curiosity and making a mental note to ask Donghyuk about it later.

Hoseok was part of the ‘Yi Generation’ under Jungkook, and every one of them was taught by Jungkook himself. This was the first time he saw such an expression on Hoseok’s face, so he was even more curious about the mysterious Miss Lalisa.

They quickly got to the site where the incident occurred—A deep cave by the borders of the ancient martial arts world and the secular world.

A few days ago, there were reports that living beings in a hundred-mile radius died off for no reason, and as the Special Defense Force, they quickly decided to evacuate everyone who lived in the area. Under closer inspection, they came across the mysterious black cube.

“It’s only been a few years, but your gadgets have improved!” Eunwoo commented as he looked at Hoseok’s detection device that had a vague, gray glow.

Hoseok knew who Murong Eunwoo was, and he replied, “Technology is improving with the times after all, but this device was actually left behind from the old days. Young Master Murong has always been abroad, so you wouldn’t know.”

This item was actually modified from an old magic compass, and it acted like a radar of sorts that detected changes in magnetic fields in an area.

Right now at the spot they were at, not only were the magnetic fields a mess, but also the natural chi and evil aura too. Of course, the primitive item couldn’t detect all of it, so Hoseok mused internally about how useful an item that could detect all that would be.

Hoseok sighed, knowing that it was wishful thinking on his part. Such changes in the evil aura of an area were rare even in the ancient martial arts world, so it would be difficult and unpractical to create such an apparatus.

Eunwoo, after hearing his words:…As expected of Jungkook’s underling, not being curt with him in the least.

Hmph, he’d do better to go see Jungkook instead!

Jungkook was standing at the entrance of the cave, his dark orbs staring straight into the endless darkness as his trench coat fluttered in the ominous breeze that blew out of it.

“So this is the number-one mission that no one dares to claim on the forums?” Eunwoo stood beside him and stared into the mysterious cave too, and only after a second, he could feel his mind going numb as goosebumps popped out on his arms.

???

Eunwoo turned around and stared at Jungkook aghast. He couldn’t even stare at it for a few seconds, but the other had been staring at it for a long time even before he got here!

Jungkook turned around and touched the jade pendant hanging from his neck, feeling a gentle warmth originating from the accessory and blocking most of the mental pressure that came from the cave. He was quite shocked too, but it wasn’t time to think about that.

“Have you notified the Baili family?” Jungkook asked.

Eunwoo rubbed his nose sheepishly. “No, but I told Yi Hoseok to do that just now…”
