Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 80 The Man in Black

Just as we were marveling at the scene, the ground suddenly shook violently. It turned out that the fleeing black-robed men, unwilling to accept defeat, had activated a self-destruct formation outside, intending to perish together with the fleeing men.

Wen Xingyu quickly summoned the Purification Bead, which emitted a powerful light that enveloped the entire ancient palace, forming a protective shield.

With a deafening roar, the destructive power of the self-destruct formation was completely neutralized.

After the dust settled, we knew the danger was truly over.

Looking at the beads in Wen Xingyu's hand, I knew that we would face more unknown challenges together, and the secrets of Wen Xingyu had only just been revealed.

After everyone reunited, we took the captured man in black robes to a safe place for interrogation.

"Tell me, why do you commit evil everywhere?" Xu Yan glared at the trembling man in black robes before her.

The man in black robes glanced at me, then at the expressionless Wen Xingyu, and said in a low voice, "We were forced into this situation. Someone ordered us to do it. If we didn't, our whole family would be killed."

"Who's behind this?" Wen Xingyu asked, her voice as cold as an ice blade.

The man in black hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "He's the leader of the Dark Star organization. He wants to rule this city and is using us to create panic and weaken all sides."

When I heard about the Dark Star Organization, my heart sank. It was an extremely secretive and dangerous organization.

Wen Xingyu frowned slightly, as if she had expected this.

"Do you know his next plan?" I pressed on.

"No... I don't know, we are just following the instructions of the Dharma Protector," the man in black robes replied tremblingly.

"It seems we won't get any more information from them," Wen Xingyu sighed softly.

"What should we do? We can't just sit here and wait to die." I wrung my hands anxiously.

At this moment, Xu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. "I know an information broker. He might know something. But he's very cunning and only cares about money."

"Money is not a problem, as long as we can get useful information," Wen Xingyu said without hesitation.

So, with a glimmer of hope, we found the information broker.

It was a short man hiding in a dark corner. When he saw us, a sly glint flashed in his eyes.

"Want information about the Dark Star Organization? Sure, 500,000."

Without saying a word, Wen Xingyu handed him a card.

The information broker checked his balance and nodded in satisfaction.

"The Dark Star Organization's next plan is to blow up the power station in the city center, causing a city-wide blackout, and then take control of key departments in the chaos," he continued.

"Moreover, their branch is located in a suburban villa area. Headquarters can't detect them."

Upon learning this astonishing news, Xu Yan did not hesitate at all. He quickly picked up the phone on the table, dialed his leader's number, and reported the key information he had obtained to his leader in detail as quickly as possible.

At the same time, after urgent discussions and careful planning, we unanimously made a decisive decision—to immediately set off for that long-abandoned suburb.

In order to promptly stop the sinister plots being plotted and implemented by the enemies hiding in the shadows.

Time was of the essence, and every minute and second was precious. No one dared to waste a moment and everyone sprang into action, preparing for the fierce competition that was about to begin.

The group arrived at an abandoned villa area in the suburbs and vaguely sensed a powerful and evil aura.

We found the place heavily guarded, but there was no time to retreat. We exchanged glances, gripped our weapons, and charged into the Dark Moon Organization's lair.

Just then, the man in black robes seemed to sense someone approaching and launched an attack.

In an instant, bullets flashed and crisscrossed, and the battle erupted.

Huan Yuechu unleashed her unique abilities, fighting alongside Xu Yan's team, determined to thwart the black-robed man's conspiracy.

Huan Yuechu quickly formed hand seals, and beams of light shot towards the man in black robes.

The man in black robes remained calm and dodged the attack with a swift movement. He then chanted incantations, and black vines suddenly surged from the ground, wrapping around the group.

Xu Yan shouted, "Everyone be careful!"

He shouted warnings while gripping his gun tightly and firing repeatedly at the roots of the wildly growing vines without hesitation.

Bullets rained down, hitting the roots of the vines and sending up fragments and dust.

Upon seeing this, the teammates nearby reacted quickly. Without hesitation, they raised their guns and unleashed a barrage of fire at the sprawling, rampant vines.

Gunshots rang out one after another, echoing throughout the space.

However, despite everyone's desperate resistance, these tenacious vines seemed unafraid of human weapons and continued to expand wildly in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, countless thick vines had intertwined into a dense net, as if to trap everyone present within it, making it impossible for them to escape.

At this critical moment, a ferocious vine suddenly shot out like a serpent and wrapped tightly around Xu Yan's neck with lightning speed.

Xu Yan suddenly felt her breath catch in her throat, as a tremendous force tightened around her throat, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Even so, her eyes never showed any panic or fear, but instead revealed an unwavering determination and courage.

Seeing this, Huan Yue quickly formed hand seals again, and a flame shot out from her palms, burning the vines that were entwining Xu Yan.

When the flames touched the vines, the vines let out a painful hiss and slowly released Xu Yan.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the man in black robes took advantage of the chaos to throw out several smoke bombs.

In an instant, thick smoke filled the surroundings, obstructing visibility.

Huan Yuechu activated her supernatural perception ability, locked onto the location of the man in black robes, and rushed forward.

Xu Yan also led her team members to carefully explore and move forward.

After Huan Yuechu approached the man in black robes, she engaged him in close combat.

Huan Yuechu was agile and her moves were fierce, but the man in black robes was not to be outdone, and the two fought fiercely and evenly matched.

At the critical moment, Xu Yan used her keen hearing to pinpoint the location of the man in black and shot him in the arm.

The man in black robes shouted, but in his distraction, he was kicked away by Huan Yuechu.

Knowing that all was lost, the man in black robes uttered a vicious threat, "You won't always be this lucky. Just you wait!" Then he vanished.

Before everyone could celebrate their victory, a sudden gust of wind arose, and the sky instantly darkened.

A figure dressed in black slowly floated down.

This person exudes a powerful aura that makes people feel extremely oppressed.

"Hmph, do you think you can rest easy after defeating him?" came the cold voice of the man in black.

Huan Yuechu became wary. "Who are you?"
