Xiang Shaoyun was brought to an inconspicuous private house in the city. The three villains each took a seat, and while Xiang Shaoyun initially didn't dare to sit, he was forced into a seat by Yao Jiaojiao.

"Are there any results with what I had tasked you to investigate?" Ugly Gambler went straight to the point.

Yao Jiaojiao and Smiling Monk both focused on Xiang Shaoyun as well, expectant looks on their faces. Xiang Shaoyun gave it a short thought before answering, "Yes, but I'm not too sure yet. The map you gave me is not complete!"

Joy covered the faces of the three Villains.

"Excellent. This time, I only came to take a quick look, but it turns out you're quite fast after all. Haha, I must say, I have good eyes. You guys are going to lose," said Ugly Gambler smugly.

"The location hasn't even been confirmed. We can't call you the winner yet," said Yao Jiaojiao unhappily.

"That's right. We should decide after getting this kid to bring us there," said Smiling Monk.

"Since that's the case, we'll let this kid lead us there," said Ugly Gambler.

"No rush, lords. Please listen to me first. The location is within the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, or to be precise, amid an area with thick poisonous miasma. The environment is extremely vile, and not many people can even get there. Therefore, I have no clue what's inside the miasma. What I am sure, however, is that some other people have discovered the place and have their eyes set on it as well," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"What? Has the Dragon Phoenix Academy discovered it?" Ugly Gambler cried out in alarm.

"No, it's someone from the academy who had gotten his own organization to come over and split open the poisonous miasma before occupying the divine site for themselves," said Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun was telling the truth. As for why, naturally, it was because he wanted to see the three villains fight the Ziling Sect. In any case, he did not care if the place was the actual divine site. The moment something big happened, the academy would find out. Thus, he would have no say in who would ultimately benefit from the divine site.

"Damn it! Is someone actually trying to steal it right under our noses? What are we waiting for? Let's go and check if the divine site is really there!" said Ugly Gambler with a look of impatience.

"I agree. Let's go take a look first. It's not like we will suffer any losses doing so," Smiling Monk agreed.

"Ugly Gambler, don't be in too much of a rush. If those fellows from the Dragon Phoenix Academy find out, nothing will be left for us," reminded Yao Jiaojiao.

"No matter what, we need to first verify the location," said Ugly Gambler.

"Let's go, Little Brother Xiang," said Yao Jiaojiao as she once again wrapped her arms around Xiang Shaoyun's arm.

She had changed her way of addressing Xiang Shaoyun, making it sound even more intimate. Even Xiang Shaoyun was starting to find it unbearable. This woman seemed to be a natural-born vixen whose charm couldn't be rejected.

Inwardly, Xiang Shaoyun grumbled, Just you wait until this overlord's strength surpasses you. I will definitely pounce on you. Let's see if you still have the guts to keep seducing me then.

And thus, Xiang Shaoyun led the three villains into the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range. Since the three were not members of the Dragon Phoenix Academy, they could only travel through the mountain route.

The Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range was filled with demonic beasts, with many of them living in groups. It was something Xiang Shaoyun knew very well. He had personally suffered much from that during his entrance test.

But with the three villains traveling with him, the journey felt much more relaxed. Along the way, Yao Jiaojiao practically glued herself to him. The constant contact caused his blood to boil, incessantly tempering his willpower. In fact, his willpower was so strong now that even if a beauty was to strip in front of him, he would remain unmoved.

Xiang Shaoyun really didn't know if he should rejoice or feel sad over his experience with her. It was both an enjoyment and a torture. While traveling, he considered many matters as well. His main goal was to spark a conflict between the three villains and the Ziling Sect. Only then would he be able to fish in troubled waters.

A few days later, they finally arrived at the place with thick poisonous miasma. There, the three villains could sense many energy undulations ahead of them.

"Alright. We will scout around before deciding what to do," said Yao Jiaojiao.

"What is there to scout? Just slaughter our way through. I doubt those people will have the guts to mess around with us," said Ugly Gambler with a sneer.

"Ugly Gambler, if you don’t mind the Dragon Phoenix Academy finding out about this place, go ahead and do so," said Yao Jiaojiao resentfully.

"What do you think we should do, then?" Ugly Gambler asked.

"First, we need to verify if this is the place we seek. Then, we need to find out who those people are. Finally, we need to get more information about this poisonous miasma. Only then can we make our move," said Yao Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao is right. We can't be too rash. If this is really the divine site, it won't be so easily taken over, anyway," said Smiling Monk.

"Fine, I'll sneak over and take a look," said Ugly Gambler.

"No, let me do that. Men are always bad at that," said Yao Jiaojiao.

She then went behind a tree. By the time she walked out, her appearance had changed completely. She was now a cold and elegant upper-class woman, exuding an imposing presence that made others not dare to meet her gaze.

Inwardly, Xiang Shaoyun lamented, She is indeed worthy of her title, Myriad Face Consort. That was amazing.

Yao Jiaojiao shot Xiang Shaoyun a seductive look before striding ahead, not even bothering to hide.

"Who are you? What are you doing being all sneaky here?" Yao Jiaojiao shouted at the people near the miasma.

Those people were none other than Ren Zhijiu's group from the Ziling Sect. The devouring phosphorous bugs had scared them away a few days prior, and now they were back to figure out a different method of verifying if this was the place they sought. Yao Jiaojiao's appearance gave them a fright. Looking at the cold and haughty wealthy woman, they started wondering if she was an elder from the Dragon Phoenix Academy.

Ren Zhijiu stepped forth. "We are Berserk Blade Hunting Group members, here to hunt demonic beasts. What may we do for you, lord?"

"Hmph! Do you think I'm three years old? Is it possible that a group this strong will be here hunting?" Yao Jiaojiao snorted coldly.

"This is a private affair. We hope you respect it, madam," said Ren Zhijiu with a stern tone. This was too important for them. He did not want words about it to spread, or it would be much harder for them to continue exploring the miasma.

"Hehe, this is the territory of our Dragon Phoenix Academy. Here, outsiders like you are actually acting so smugly? Are you trying to make an enemy out of the Dragon Phoenix Academy?" Yao Jiaojiao sneered.
