The next day, Ye Qiu took an early flight to Kun City.

Although Kun City is not a major metropolis, it is the top choice for domestic tourism, attracting countless visitors each year.

As soon as Ye Qiu arrived, he was greeted by a middle-aged man in military uniform.

"Chief! I am Cui Ping, Leader Zhang has briefed me that I am fully cooperating with your operations this time!"

Cui Ping said this while saluting Ye Qiu.

It was Ye Qiu's first meeting with Cui Ping, but Cui Ping recognized him accurately. It was clear that Leader Zhang had informed him beforehand. Ye Qiu didn't mind and nodded, "How's it going? Any news about them?"

"Not at the moment," Cui Ping shook his head, "but please be assured, Chief, we are tirelessly tracking them. I will notify you as soon as we have any updates."

Although Cui Ping spoke confidently, his eyes were filled with curiosity.

He had been involved before in this matter, and the group from Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps was truly brutal, even overpowering members of the Demon Corps. Yet, was this young man before him really capable of dealing with them?

Cui Ping found it somewhat unbelievable, but since Leader Zhang himself had emphasized following Ye Qiu's orders unconditionally, as a soldier committed to obeying military commands, Cui Ping could only follow this mandate.

"Chief, I've arranged a place for you to rest, please follow me."

"Alright!"

Led by Cui Ping's off-road vehicle, they arrived at a training center.

"Chief, I usually reside here. Although the conditions don't match those of a hotel, it's quite decent."

In reality, the place could be described as basic rather than decent; the room had nothing but a bed and a table. However, Ye Qiu wasn't bothered by this, as he was a soldier accustomed to various environments.

During many missions, they often had to sleep on sandy ground. Compared to those conditions, this was relatively good.

"Mm." Ye Qiu nodded in satisfaction and then casually organized the room, accepting Cui Ping's arrangement.

Cui Ping felt relieved seeing this as he didn't know Ye Qiu's true identity. By observing Ye Qiu's actions and demeanor reflecting a soldier's traits, Cui Ping felt somewhat reassured.

The people from Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps were extremely cautious. Since arriving here, Ye Qiu hadn't heard any news about them, but he believed they wouldn't easily leave since their last known location was here.

Cooperating with Blood Cross, there must be some hidden secrets involved. Anything related to Blood Cross, Ye Qiu wouldn't stand by idly.

While waiting for news about the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps, Ye Qiu trained in Cui Ping's training center in his spare time.

The training center had extensive equipment available for both speed and strength development.

While training, Ye Qiu unconsciously recalled past memories.

Back then, no matter how tired he was, there was always someone by his side encouraging him, which spurred his rapid growth leading to becoming the Demon King.

Now, the high-intensity training remained the same, but those who once accompanied him were now gone.

This familiar venue and atmosphere left Ye Qiu in a daze.

"If not for Blood Cross, Phoenix would still be by my side!" Suddenly, Ye Qiu clenched his fists, his eyes ablaze with anger!

As long as Phoenix's vengeance remained unavenged, Ye Qiu would not rest!

"Blood Cross, mark my words, if I don't eradicate you to the roots, I swear I'll forsake my humanity!"

The aura Ye Qiu unintentionally emitted shocked Cui Ping from afar.

"It seems this young chief is indeed capable, having reached this position through sheer ability."

Initially, Cui Ping suspected that Ye Qiu had gotten his position through connections, but now realized it wasn't the case, making him more curious about Ye Qiu.

He could already affirm that Ye Qiu was undoubtedly a formidable figure, though uncertain as to the extent of his strength.

"Chief, is this your first time in Kun City?" Cui Ping approached Ye Qiu with a smile.

"Yes," Ye Qiu replied, a bit puzzled as to why Cui Ping suddenly brought it up.

"Our Kun City is also a tourist haven; why not take the opportunity to explore? You might discover something unexpected," Cui Ping suggested with a smile, "If you'd like to tour Kun City, feel free to reach out; I can show you around and let you experience its scenery."

Recognizing Ye Qiu's impressive capabilities, Cui Ping's attitude shifted subtly.

Cui Ping's suggestion momentarily stunned Ye Qiu, then he smiled, "You're right, simply waiting here isn't the best plan. Exploring might lead to unexpected discoveries. As for company, it's not necessary; I'll wander around on my own."

Someone like Cui Ping was undoubtedly burdened with multiple responsibilities, so Ye Qiu opted not to bother him.

After bidding farewell to Cui Ping, Ye Qiu left the training center alone.

Kun City is famous as "Spring City," an important tourism and trade city in Huaxia, and also a key regional center in the west.

The number of people visiting for sightseeing is considerable, and Ye Qiu couldn't fathom the purpose behind Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps' arrival, though he was certain they were utilizing their travel status.

This was precisely why, even after days in Kun City, Ye Qiu hadn't pinpointed their whereabouts.

"Ye Qiu?"

While walking aimlessly through the crowd, a voice suddenly called out behind Ye Qiu.

Turning around, Ye Qiu saw that the voice's owner was his old classmate, Song Sisi.

"It's really you! I thought I'd mistaken someone else!"

Upon seeing Ye Qiu's face, Song Sisi was filled with disbelief, not expecting such fortuitous encounters to happen here.

Seeing Song Sisi's delighted expression, Ye Qiu was equally surprised and chuckled, "What a coincidence we meet here too."

"Indeed," Song Sisi agreed, feeling similarly that such meetings in an unfamiliar city among the crowd were purely guided by fate.
