Chapter 153 Phoenix Organization

Qing Chen blankly looked at Fang Yue, then shook his head.

"Don't understand."

"...Forget it if you don't understand. Just don't start telling me about your research... Speaking of which, what research even exists in this game!"

Mentioning this, Qing Chen perked up. If it weren't for the corpses lying around and blood splattered everywhere like cheap tomatoes, Fang Yue would have thought he was back at university, discussing an illness with a bookworm.

"It's called Guixue! Guixue, as in, strange studies. But there are many sub-categories within strange studies. I was lucky enough to be brought into the Phoenix Organization by Xia Xiyu-jie, and assigned to the study of 'Human Aberrant Traits.' I'm even following a big name in the industry..."

"Wait?!"

Fang Yue was still listening in a daze, but as the content registered, he was shocked and immediately interrupted Qing Chen.

"You, you, what did you say just now?"

"Human Aberrant Traits. Simply put, it means the human body has..."

"Stop, stop, the sentence before that!"

"The sentence before that?" Qing Chen looked bewildered, then thought for a moment and said, "I was lucky enough to be brought into the Phoenix Organization by Xia Xiyu-jie?"

"Yes! That's the sentence!"

Fang Yue's eyes lit up, and his whole body trembled with excitement.

The term "Phoenix Organization" was like a bolt of lightning, connecting all the clues into a single line!

So, the backers behind the Ningguang School, Ningguang Mountain, and the Ning Estate was the Phoenix Organization!

That behemoth that even Qing Si was wary of, that no one dared to offend easily!

That explained everything.

Why could a mere old man Ning hollow out Ningguang Mountain and create such a massive and secretive base!

Why was the small Ning Estate so full of hidden talents, gathering three Xiantian realm experts in one place for protection!

Why was such a big secret hidden in the Ning Estate, yet remained unknown!

Everything was because... the Ning Estate had the Phoenix Organization backing it!

The Phoenix Organization could do as it pleased! Given their level and scale, controlling the small Black Green Mountain Range would be like a dimensional strike!

For the Phoenix Organization to send only three Xiantian realm martial artists to guard, operate, and oversee the development of the Black Green Mountain Range branch was already a subtle act of benevolence.

With the strength of the Phoenix Organization, Fang Yue wouldn't be surprised if they sent Ren-level experts. Because they had the confidence to do so!

In terms of scale and strength, the Phoenix Organization should be competing with the Qing Kingdom, not their Black Green Mountain Range.

Of course, on a smaller scale like the Black Green Mountain Range, Qingsi County could barely contend with the Phoenix Organization's branch.

If Master Han still had his strength, or if they encountered a Wu Yu Tribe attack, wiping out this branch would be easy.

However, without those overpowered combatants, not many forces could contend with this branch under normal circumstances.

After learning that the Ning Estate's backer was the Phoenix Organization, Fang Yue thought a lot in a short time.

Then he thought of another question.

That was... why did the Phoenix Organization want to capture Lin Ling, Master Han, and even... capture me?

What exactly was the Phoenix Organization, and what did they do?

Fang Yue realized that although he had heard of the Phoenix Organization before, he only knew that it was a top-tier force within the Qing Kingdom, and that some merchant caravans were protected by them, probably to facilitate the Phoenix Organization's acquisition or purchase of things that couldn't be bought elsewhere.

But now, knowing that the underground chamber was a base for the Phoenix Organization, Fang Yue's perception of the organization changed.

The room of severed heads was still vivid in Fang Yue's mind.

The Phoenix Organization's evil deeds were simply anti-human.

An organization like that must be doing evil deeds. Therefore... I must destroy this base today! To make a small contribution to the Black Green Mountain Range!

At that moment, Fang Yue felt the light of justice shining on him, filling him with positive energy, completely forgetting how decisive he was when killing those Ning Estate servants... Oh, no, they should be called the Phoenix Organization's lackeys.

Of course, before pursuing the noble goal of destroying the Phoenix Organization, Fang Yue had to find two people first.

"Qing Chen, do you know where Master Han and Lin Ling are being held?"

Qing Chen shook his head blankly. Outside of academics, he seemed a bit slow.

"Master Han? Lin Ling? Who are they? But if you're talking about where prisoners are held, I do know. There are seven prisons in total, located in the underground chamber. Which prison do you want to go to?"

Fang Yue's face lit up. "Take me to the nearest one!"

"The nearest is Prison Number One. Taking you there is no problem, but each prisoner's location is guarded by a Houtian first-rate martial artist, and they are also equipped with 'test subjects.' We have no chance of winning..."

"Test subjects? Are they those trash on the ground?"

Fang Yue revealed a disdainful expression.

However, hearing the term "test subject" after so long reminded Fang Yue of the late Doctor An, and he immediately thought of something.

Wait a minute! Captain Wu said that An Dong'er was captured by the Phoenix Organization, and Miao Fa would also follow the Phoenix Organization's people.

Now that I'm at the Phoenix Organization's branch, doesn't that mean I can find both of them at the same time? I might also encounter... that Minotaur Mask Man and Horse-head Mask Man!

According to Captain Wu, he couldn't even last one move against the Minotaur Mask Man, whose strength was unfathomable.

As for the Horse-head Mask Man, he should also have some skill.

For a moment, Fang Yue felt anxious and nervous.

Originally, after dealing with this trash, Fang Yue was complacent and felt like he could turn this place upside down.

Now that he remembered the Minotaur Mask Man and the Horse-head Mask Man were possibly still in the base, the situation became dangerous.

There was no need to fight two strong people of unknown strength head-on.

The most urgent task was to save people, get them out, and then escape the Phoenix Organization's base.

As for how to deal with this base in the future, he would have to wait until he returned to Qingsi County and discussed it with others before making a plan.

Even if Qingsi County didn't have the ability to handle it, they could report it to the higher-level Qing Si and have them send people to support and deal with the Phoenix Organization's branch.

While Fang Yue was thinking about how to act next, Qing Chen next to him was still tirelessly giving Fang Yue a science lecture.

"Boss, 'test subjects' aren't trash. They are the result of research by many of us, where we fuse the characteristics of the strange with humans who have a high degree of compatibility, sealing the power of the strange into the human body. When it needs to be used, the seal is released, allowing humans to use the power of martial artists while also using the power of the strange, combining the strengths of both to create a new path of divergence... No! It should be called evolution! The evolution of species!"
