Night fell, and the Freedom Organization's base sank into an eerie silence. Apart from the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps, the other mercenaries had retired for the night early.

"Idiots!" One-eyed Wolf glared at the disheartened group and growled harshly, "You're utterly disgracing the name of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps!"

The group hung their heads in shame as a man beside One-eyed Wolf softly advised, "Leader, this matter isn't entirely their fault. Though Book was impulsive, the rest of them were utterly crushed by the Snake Lord."

"Snake Lord? Indian Snake King?" One-eyed Wolf's eyes narrowed. "Isn't he a master in the Demi-God Domain? Why would he meddle in the matters between the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps and the Grey Bear Mercenary Group?"

The man hesitated before responding, "According to my investigation, the woman from Grey Bear might have caught the Snake Lord's eye, so..."

Before he finished, One-eyed Wolf already understood his meaning.

"Infuriating!" One-eyed Wolf slammed the table fiercely, filled with indignation. The Indian Snake King had intervened, but One-eyed Wolf realized with frustration that even if he sought revenge, there was nothing he could do!

After all, the other side was a master of the Demi-God Domain, and even if the entire Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps were mobilized, they wouldn't stand a chance against him!

"Leader, aside from Book, none of our people suffered substantial harm, which clearly shows the Snake Lord doesn't intend to completely sever ties with us," the man continued. "So, our pressing priority is to deal with the affair involving Karry's team!"

One-eyed Wolf sighed heavily. They had taken on a mission to raid the Dragon Group Base, intending to strike while the personnel were sparse. Yet unexpectedly, the entirety of their team had ended up captured.

"What else can we do! We can't just abandon Karry and the others!" One-eyed Wolf snapped angrily, "That's thirty percent of our strength! Tomorrow, inform the Dragon Group that I, One-eyed Wolf, accept their terms. In five days, I'll ransom Karry's team back!"

After issuing his orders, One-eyed Wolf fixed his gaze on Freedom Organization's main building. "Let's hope this mission brings me some surprises. The Atlantis Continent... haha..."

...

Late at night, the bright moonlight was blotted out by dark clouds. At this moment, Bai Feifei dressed tidily and walked out of her room, her gaze vacant as she headed in a specific direction.

"It's time." The Indian Snake King opened his eyes, murmuring to himself. As his words fell, Bai Feifei had already pushed open the door and entered.

The Indian Snake King walked up to Bai Feifei, squeezed a drop of blood from his index finger, and smeared it on Bai Feifei's forehead.

The blood seeped into her body, and a winding snake mark appeared on her forehead.

"Seven-step Silver Light Snake, so it is indeed within you!" A fierce light flashed in the Indian Snake King's eyes. During the day, he had been uncertain, but now he was entirely sure that the Seven-step Silver Light Snake residing inside Bai Feifei was the very one stolen from his disciple.

As the Snake King, he understood clearly that after such a long period, the Seven-step Silver Light Snake and Bai Feifei had become tightly bound, inseparable! At this point, even killing Bai Feifei would result in the Seven-step Silver Light Snake's death.

"The Seven-step Silver Light Snake is an extraordinary species of snake; once it matures, it will possess immense power!" The Indian Snake King murmured to himself. "That's why I, the Indian Snake King, absolutely cannot allow it to remain in someone else's possession. I must retrieve the Seven-step Silver Light Snake from your body!"

Despite his determination, the Snake King felt troubled. After his earlier investigation, he found that the Seven-step Silver Light Snake had transitioned out of its juvenile phase and entered its growth phase. If left unchecked, it would soon reach the mature phase!

Once it reached maturity, the Indian Snake King would have no means of salvaging the situation!

"What should I do? This is truly troublesome!" The Indian Snake King furrowed his brow before his face lit up with a slight grin. "I might as well make you its nourishment. Let the Seven-step Silver Light Snake devour your vitality and use your life force to accelerate its growth! Afterward, I'll employ the Stripping Technique to transfer the Seven-step Silver Light Snake onto my disciple!"

Having made up his mind, the Indian Snake King pulled out a red pill from his pocket and, with some reluctance, pushed it into Bai Feifei's mouth.

The pill could heighten the evolution speed of snakes. By accelerating the Seven-step Silver Light Snake's growth, it would require more vitality to sustain itself and naturally start absorbing Bai Feifei's life force.

Previously, Bai Feifei and the Seven-step Silver Light Snake were symbiotic, but now, with the snake's increasing energy demands, it would inevitably draw on Bai Feifei's life force, disrupting the balance!

"Considering you still have some utility, I'll spare your life for now!" The Indian Snake King snapped his fingers, and Bai Feifei, expressionless, returned to her room.

When Bai Feifei lay back down in her room, a shadow slipped into the Freedom Organization's base.

"So many powerful presences!" Ling Feng concealed himself in the dark, suppressing all traces of his aura, somewhat apprehensive. He muttered to himself, "I didn't expect the Freedom Organization's base would be this vast and so heavily guarded. Finding Bai Feifei won't be easy anytime soon! That troublesome girl always enjoys dragging me into messes!"

Saying this, Ling Feng's figure transformed into a phantom and darted into Freedom Organization's main building.

In his swift infiltration, Ling Feng didn't disturb even a moth flying in the night. The patrolling guards were far too ordinary to detect his presence.

"Seize the leader to solve the problem first," Ling Feng thought while surveying the main building. "Judging by the structure, it obviously houses high-ranking officials of the Freedom Organization. If I grab a senior officer, I should be able to learn the whereabouts of the Grey Bear Mercenary Group members."

Suddenly, footsteps echoed in the hallway, causing Ling Feng to hastily hide himself in the shadows.

"So strange; why are we being summoned in the middle of the night?" A man muttered while yawning. "Disturbed dreams are as bad as lost money!"

"Stop whining!" Another man replied, "Apparently, the Holy Envoy has just awakened and is assembling people for tomorrow's operation. But you're already halfway into the Demi-God Domain, yet still this exhausted?"

The yawning man grumbled lazily, "Barely one foot in. Who knows when the other will step in? At this stage, I've realized just how formidable the Demi-God Domain truly is. Being able to fully step into it within this lifetime would already be miraculous... By the way, isn't the Holy Envoy a master in the Demi-God Domain?"

"That, I don't know. Why don't you try challenging them?"

"Please, I'm not looking to die!"

...

The voices gradually faded, and Ling Feng emerged from the shadows, his face thoughtful as he muttered, "Holy Envoy... Could this be the mastermind behind the Freedom Organization? It seems my visit tonight might yield unexpected gains!"
