"Qin Jin, Zheng Huan, they—"

Wu Yan's face was wreathed in Black Gas, his anger flaring up as he looked towards Feng Rensong, he demanded furiously, "Didn't we agree not to act rashly? Why didn't those two listen?"

Feng Rensong hurriedly said, "Team leader, please calm down. Qin Jin and Zheng Huan didn't act on their own. It was just bad luck—they encountered people from the Curse Gate while they were gathering information."

"Encountered people from the Curse Gate while gathering information?"

Wu Yan's complexion grew even darker, encountering people from the Curse Gate while gathering information meant that the luck of Qin Jin and Zheng Huan was abysmal.

He urgently asked, "Where did Qin Jin and Zheng Huan encounter the people from the Curse Gate, and when did it happen?"

Wu Yan's face was completely shrouded in darkness, his anger intense. It seemed he wanted to find the people from the Curse Gate and avenge Qin Jin and Zheng Huan.

As a group leader, he could not protect his own members, allowing them to be killed—it was a disgrace.

Being unable to take revenge for his members equated to being incapable.

Feng Rensong shook his head and sighed, "It appears that it was about two days ago that Qin Jin and Zheng Huan encountered people from the Curse Gate in the Cuiyun Mountain Region."

"Two days ago?"

Wu Yan's face betrayed a sense of defeat; anything that happened two days ago meant that the people from the Curse Gate had certainly left by now, they wouldn't just wait around for him.

After a moment of composure, he said, "Have the Domain Master of Cuiyun Mountain Region send over the records of the battle that day. I want to know who from the Curse Gate killed Qin Jin and Zheng Huan."

"Yes, team leader."

Feng Rensong went out to request the records from the Domain Master of Cuiyun Mountain Region.

"Xiao Mu, Du Wenzhen, you two take the corpses of Qin Jin and Zheng Huan and come with me."

Wu Yan swept a glance over Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen, leading the way to the buildings behind the task force.

Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen each carried a Mutated corpse, following behind Wu Yan.

It wasn't long before the three of them arrived in front of a building complex resembling a Research Institute.

There was no signage hanging outside the Building, but two Guards stood watch.

Both these Guards were True Realm powerhouses in the Early Stage of the Yin God Realm.

"Team Leader Wu, someone from your team has had an incident again? Which member is it?"

The two Yin God Realm Guards' expressions changed upon seeing the corpses Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen carried with them.

The taller Guard, while inquiring, did not wait for Wu Yan's response before recognizing Qin Jin and Zheng Huan, exclaimed in shock, "It's Qin Jin and Zheng Huan, haven't they just joined the task force a few months back?"

Wu Yan, in a foul mood, his face still engulfed in Black Gas, snorted coldly without answering the tall Guard's question, merely briefly introduced the identities of Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen.

The Guards' looks toward Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen instantly filled with a hint of pity.

The Guards didn't stop them, allowing Wu Yan to lead the way into the Great Courtyard.

"Old Xiao, did you see the look those two guys gave us just now? What did that mean?"

As soon as they entered the Great Courtyard, Du Wenzhen couldn't help but complain to Xiao Mu through a whisper, his tone dissatisfied.

"Nonsense!"

Xiao Mu scolded in a whisper, "They obviously think that we will end up Mutated and killed by the people from the Curse Gate, just like Zheng Huan and Qin Jin."

"Damn!"

Swearing softly, Du Wenzhen glanced warily at Wu Yan's back, and then stealthily communicated to Xiao Mu, "Old Xiao, do you also feel like our future prospects in this team don't look too bright?"

Xiao Mu had the same thought but wasn't like Du Wenzhen, unable to keep things to himself, calmly stating, "Whether it's bright or not, the key lies with oneself."

"That's true. In my opinion, the abilities of Zheng Huan and Qin Jin must not have been up to par; otherwise, how could they have been killed by the people from the Curse Gate? If it had been us two, the Curse Gate's people would definitely be the ones to die," Du Wenzhen murmured, actually agreeing quite a bit with Xiao Mu's words.

Xiao Mu did not respond to Du Wenzhen. This guy was getting a bit too cocky recently; a few more setbacks should set him straight.

The methods of the Curse Gate were insidious; even Xiao Mu himself didn't dare say he could surely win against an opponent of equal rank, let alone Du Wenzhen.

However, there was no need to speak these thoughts out loud; leaving Du Wenzhen with some hope was also good.

"Li Jing, Li Jing, come out for a moment."

In front of an Office, Wu Yan suddenly stopped and called out loudly toward the Office.

"Stop yelling!"

A magnetic male voice came from inside the Office, and soon after, an elegant middle-aged man walked out.

Xiao Mu seized the opportunity to examine the man, who was brimming with Sacred Power, giving off a holy aura.

If nothing else, he must be cultivating Sacred Power.

Sacred Power, as the opposite of Curse Power, possesses a certain restraining effect against one another.

The man's power, like Wu Yan's, was at the Peak of the Yin God Realm.

Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen looked at each other with peculiar expressions—was this man the 'King of Totas'?

The man gave Wu Yan a sidelong glance, dissatisfied, he said, "I thought it was who, turns out to be Team Leader Wu. Instead of staying in your own Office, you come to disturb me, Li Jing—quite improper, isn't it?"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Anger flashed across Wu Yan's face as he barked at the middle-aged man, Li Jing, "Li Jing, quit nitpicking. Do you think I'd bother with you if it weren't for a reason? I wouldn't come even if you knelt down and begged me."

"Heh, you're really hot-headed. But your anger doesn't scare me. I see no point in you speaking so harshly to me. Speak, what do you want?"

Li Jing eyed Wu Yan, his demeanor nonchalant.

"Remove the curse for these two members of my team and restore their corpses to normal."
