Chapter 16: Wen Tao, the Master Thief; the Bad Guys are officially established from this day forward
Bad Order, Bad Handsome Brand.
That's great, a truly excellent reward.
After browsing through the information about the rewards provided by the system, Li Jiuyou couldn't help but smile.
He was originally worried about how to form the Bad People while he was always in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
If he waits until he has enough strength to establish it, then the entire Bad Guys organization will become a burden for him.
So when he agreed to come out with Ning Rongrong, he wanted to learn more about her first.
Even if it doesn't work this time, having gained some understanding will make it easier for me to take action next time.
But now there's absolutely no need for that.
The emergence of the Bad Order allowed Li Jiuyou to secretly control a sufficiently powerful force without leaving his home.
This force will be hidden on the continent.
They don't need to appear, but they will always be there.
To promote the development of the mainland, we must view the world as a chessboard.
As for Li Jiuyou himself, he only needs to develop steadily under the protection of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and let the dust settle.
He glanced at the Bad Order, completely unconcerned about the fact that the summoner mentioned in the introduction was affected by his own strength.
He doesn't need powerful people now; he needs people who can build the initial organizational structure for the bad guys.
Li Jiuyou asked in his mind:
"System, will the people summoned by the Bad Order be unconditionally loyal to me?"
That's right! The villains summoned by the Bad Guy Order will be unconditionally loyal to their host!
However, the thugs recruited by the host are not under the system's control; the host must subdue them personally!
Li Jiuyou was relieved to receive a response from the system.
As he walked, he also engaged in in-depth communication with the system, inquiring about the summoned villains.
After arriving in town, Li Jiuyou told Ning Rongrong to go to the inn to rest first, and then he went to rent a carriage to make it easier to travel later.
Ning Rongrong, whose calves were sore from the journey, readily agreed.
She also asked Li Jiuyou to bring some good food back because she was hungry.
After leaving the inn, Li Jiuyou arrived at a deserted grove of trees and used the Bad Order.
[Summoning successful! Summoned villains: Tianjiexing, Wen Tao!]
With a flash of light, a person appeared in front of Li Jiuyou.
This person was thin and pale, with an aura of gloom that seemed to live in darkness for years. He wore a dark mask, revealing only his small pupils and mostly white eyes.
"Tianjiexing Wen Tao greets the Commander-in-Chief!"
Upon appearing, Wen Tao lowered his head and knelt on one knee.
Li Jiuyou knew that Wen Tao's memories had been modified and blurred by the system. For example, he was a reincarnated cultivator who was the leader of the Bad Guys, and his life was controlled by Li Jiuyou. He had a general understanding of the forces and situations on the Douluo Continent.
Tell me, what can you do?
After some thought, Li Jiuyou asked the question.
Wen Tao stood up, and a compass-like object appeared in his hand, with illusory images of stars appearing on it.
At the same time, three soul rings, one yellow and one purple, appeared beneath his feet.
This signifies his status as a three-ring Soul Master.
This also aligns with Li Jiuyou's impression; Wen Tao was not the type to excel in martial arts, and at the mid-star level, he could only defeat the Black and White Impermanence during their novice stages.
"Reporting to the Commander, my expertise lies in tomb raiding, intelligence gathering, infiltration, defection, and the search for various treasures..."
"My martial soul, the Eight Trigrams Star Compass, can sense the location of nearby treasures, as well as the graves of powerful humans and soul beasts."
"In my perception, many powerful individuals are buried in the same place in that direction; I can sense them even from a great distance!"
Li Jiuyou looked in the direction Wen Tao was pointing, and after a moment of thought, he was startled.
If he remembers correctly, that's the direction of the Spirit Hall, right?
The Spirit Hall is divided into three halls: the Hall of Offering, the Hall of the Pope, and the Hall of Douluo.
That place is not only the burial place of many titled elders, but also the ancestral home of thousands of families.
"There's no need to take action against them for now."
Li Jiuyou thwarted Wen Tao's idea.
No matter how skilled Wen Tao was, he couldn't steal anything from that place.
Putting everything else aside, Qian Daoliu stands motionless in front of the angel statue every day. He will not leave at all, so there is no chance to make a move under his nose.
Li Jiuyou paced back and forth, sharing some of his previously conceived ideas with Wen Tao.
"From this day forward, you will no longer recognize me. No matter what means you use, go to a place called Soto City and secretly rebuild the Bad Guys."
"You are responsible for overcoming all difficulties related to funding and personnel during the establishment of Bad People."
"I will come to find you in six years. What I want to see then is the hidden Soto City Bad Guys branch, with no fewer than a thousand members."
After explaining the requirements, Li Jiuyou added:
"Recruiting thugs, do you still remember the requirements?"
Wen Tao raised his head and said, word by word:
"Once a bad guy, always a bad guy!"
Li Jiuyou nodded. The Bad People need cohesion; once you join, you can't leave for life.
The only way to leave is through death.
Even in death, one should extract every last bit of value before dying.
Li Jiuyou then prepared to leave, but was stopped by Wen Tao.
"My lord, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it's feasible. I'm worried it might disrupt your plans, so..."
Tell me about it.
Wen Tao responded with a "Yes," and then said:
"As far as I know, there are no dedicated post stations for delivering letters and packages on the mainland. I think the Bad People can build one based on this, rather than rebuilding it from a city."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiuyou fell silent and began to ponder.
As expected of Wen Tao, who, despite his weak strength, managed to become one of the Thirty-Six Captains.
If his tomb raiding skills were unparalleled, then his cunning was his second greatest strength.
First, establish relay stations to openly transmit messages and send packages.
They can secretly develop organizations, gather intelligence, and expand across multiple cities on multiple fronts.
If this plan succeeds, the time it will take to secretly control the mainland will be shortened by more than half!
"Can."
Li Jiuyou agreed and then instructed:
"It's best to be cautious in everything. There are many powerful figures on the mainland. Don't overreach yourself in the initial stages."
Wen Tao understands.
Li Jiuyou glanced at Wen Tao one last time before turning and leaving.
From now on, they will no longer be in contact.
The Bad People organization is officially established effective immediately.
Everything is just waiting to take root and sprout.
After leaving, Li Jiuyou wandered around the town, bought some things, and then purchased the most luxurious carriage.
That's how you can be so capricious when you're rich.
He then located the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's stronghold in the city.
He instructed the sect disciples in the area to return to their sects and find Ning Fengzhi, informing the sect leader Ning Rongrong that he and Ning Rongrong had left the sect and were heading towards Hanhai City.
Because Li Jiuyou took out the purple card that Ning Fengzhi had given him, and after verifying his identity, it was indeed a card that belonged to Ning Fengzhi.
Therefore, without the slightest doubt, those people immediately set off at full speed towards the sect.
