Chapter 1589: Our Goal

From beginning to end, Gao Hong has always longed to return to the team!

He yearns to be acknowledged again.

Although he’s serving here as an instructor now, his heart has always stayed with the members of the Dragon Tooth Squad.

He dreams of entering the Dragon Tooth Squad—this is his lifelong yearning, his greatest honor!

And today, he’s finally been recognized!

He’s finally joined the Dragon Tooth Squad!

In this life, no regrets!

Jian Feng said in a deep voice, “Dragon Tooth Squad, Gao Hong!”

“Here!” Gao Hong responded at once.

“Pack your things immediately, we have a mission!” Jian Feng said in a low voice.

“Yes, sir!” Gao Hong turned around at once to pack.

Five minutes later, Gao Hong came out with his kit on his back.

Jian Feng nodded slightly and laughed, “Looks like you haven’t gone soft!”

Gao Hong asked in a low voice, “What kind of mission is it?”

“Don’t ask too much!” Jian Feng frowned.

Gao Hong instantly realized he’d said the wrong thing.

Jian Feng thought for a moment, then reminded him, “Gao Hong, as a brother, I need to warn you!”

“Yeah.”

“This mission is very dangerous. I’ll be straight with you, and don’t take it the wrong way—right now, your strength is the weakest among all of us. The reason you were able to join the Dragon Tooth Squad this time is because Night Fire requested it from the boss. The boss hesitated for a long time before agreeing. I hope you won’t let the boss down. The boss said this operation will be dangerous, we have to be prepared for a prolonged battle, but absolutely no one is allowed to die, you understand? I still have my own task and can’t join this mission, but I want you to come back in one piece, understand?” Jian Feng said in a deep voice.

Gao Hong nodded and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, brother! I’ll come back alive!”

Jian Feng nodded, “I’ll be waiting for you!”

…

Ancheng.

The joint base of the Nine Great Families.

“All units, attention!” With a single order, everyone stood straight as one, perfectly aligned.

These Martial Artists had already been thoroughly systematized through training.

“You raise troops for a thousand days, use them for a single moment! Now, the time has come for you to display your talent and show your abilities!”

The Martial Artists were a little excited.

“We’re all Martial Artists! But in today’s society, where is there a place to use a Martial Artist’s skills? Sparring, challenging dojos? Those are ancient rules from who knows how many years ago. And besides, how many people can actually go around challenging dojos? All that martial prowess ends up buried in your own courtyard at home, practicing alone, day after day, year after year! And in the end, what do you get out of it? If you can’t use your skills, it’s the same as not having them!”

“Now, the time has come for you to show your strength! The Venerable One has given us orders, has given us missions in the forest; the time has come for us to shine!”

“Since ancient times, people have practiced martial arts to serve the motherland! Our chance has arrived! This time, it’s our hour to serve the country with utmost loyalty!”

“Let me ask you, are you willing to use your martial power to serve the Venerable One, to serve the motherland?”

“Willing! We’re willing!”

Their voices shook the heavens!

Everyone was thrilled, itching to rush to the battlefield and fight right now!

“Very good!” The instructor nodded in satisfaction.

…

On Penglai Island.

Purple Cultivator received the message Night Fire had sent.

“It’s finally here?” Purple Cultivator tilted his face up to the sky, eyes filled with excitement.

Sun Yue walked up to Purple Cultivator, took his arm, and asked softly, “Dear, what’s wrong?”

Purple Cultivator said excitedly, “The boss… is finally going into action!”

Sun Yue blinked, looking at Purple Cultivator in confusion. “You mean, your boss’s operation has some other meaning?”

Purple Cultivator nodded seriously. “This operation isn’t just targeting the Yuan Group and Viper, it’s for us as well!”

“You know, once war starts, it’s like an arrow leaving the bowstring. Once the flames of war are lit, it only ends when one side is defeated! And our enemies are definitely not just the Yuan Group!” Purple Cultivator narrowed his eyes and said.

Sun Yue looked at Purple Cultivator, confused. “Asura Hall still has other enemies?”

“Everyone!” Purple Cultivator looked at Sun Yue and said in a deep voice, “Everyone could be our enemy!”

Sun Yue frowned, staring at Purple Cultivator, her face full of doubt.

Purple Cultivator said in a low voice, “All these years, Asura Hall has been making enemies everywhere. In almost every corner of the world, we have people who hate us! And over in the Federation Country, that’s our main battlefield! Aside from all this, our biggest enemy is ourselves!”

“Ourselves?” Sun Yue was completely puzzled by Purple Cultivator’s words.

“That’s right! Our biggest enemy is ourselves! All our lives were saved by the boss! All this time, we’ve been living a life of licking blood off the blade’s edge, like walking a tightrope, watching brothers beside us leave one by one. The boss swore that he’d definitely give us a stable life!”

“But you know, for people like us whose profession is for life, a stable life is nothing but a luxury!”

“Yet the boss wants to give us a stable life, and to do that he has to wipe out all our enemies and build our own power—a force that will make everyone tremble, that no one will dare to offend! Including the most powerful country in this world, so even they won’t dare!”

After he finished, Purple Cultivator’s face was full of pride. “Now, the boss has started moving!”

Sun Yue was utterly shocked.

She hadn’t expected Yang Chen to have such ambition!

“You guys… you’re really going to do this?” Sun Yue felt her heart pounding wildly.

Maybe ordinary people wouldn’t feel much, but as a top agent, Sun Yue understood the international situation very clearly and knew how hard this would be.

And just like Purple Cultivator said, once it starts, it’s a drawn bow with no turning back.

“This is something we have to do!” Purple Cultivator’s gaze was firm. “This is the answer the boss wants to give his brothers, and it’s the kind of life his brothers want. Tell me, who doesn’t want to live peacefully and steadily, with a warm home and a family?”

Purple Cultivator looked at Sun Yue with deep affection. “I also hope that one day, when we’re married, we can live a stable life, let our child grow up happy and healthy, instead of following us around, constantly on edge, wondering if someone will come to hurt him!”

Sun Yue was stunned, finally understanding why Purple Cultivator and Yang Chen had chosen this path that was so incomparably difficult.

All they were doing was for the people they loved most.

To live a stable and happy life with the ones they love, they have no choice but to do this.

Many people choose to wash their hands of the business, disappear and hide their names, but in the end, they still get found, and it all ends with their families torn apart, dead and scattered!

Those are all lessons written in blood.

Only this path is the safest!

“I support you!” Sun Yue gripped Purple Cultivator’s hand and said in a low voice!
