Qingji Province, the provincial capital, Shalali City.
It was very close to the Gloomy Domain but not within its boundaries, which was why it was spared.
The headquarters of the Hunter Association was set up here.
And the Brado Holy Palace of the Mingwang Esoteric Buddhism was also in this city.
A ball… oh no, a slightly plump man, sat on an enlarged and widened chair, frowning at a document.
He was another vice-chairman of the Huafu Hunter Association, named Sun Shanxing, codenamed 'Kind Fatty'.
However, others preferred to call him 'Cruel Dissector'.
This seemingly amiable fellow had once taken a butcher's knife and carved his way from the east to the west of a monster's lair without even blinking.
Originally, it was a large monster settlement, containing one True Order monster, three Upper Order monsters, and hundreds of smaller monsters.
But after Sun Shanxing passed through, there was nothing left, and no complete monster corpses could be recovered.
In fact, if you grabbed a handful from those corpses, you would certainly have the body tissues of more than three monsters in your hand…
However, his abilities were not the focus; the focus was on the document in his hand.
"The monster that caused the undead plague is called Wen Li, its strength far exceeds that of an ordinary True Order, its ability is Scarlet Power, and its hiding place is a cave within Tianzhu Peak…"
"This information was sent to me by Old Master Fu, the source of the information is confidential, what do you think about this matter?"
Sun Shanxing was asking a young man with small eyes and a headscarf, named Wang Duobao. He was an intern from Hunter Island, following Sun Shanxing to learn demon-hunting experience.
Every year, the Hunter Association trained many newly awakened superhumans. The young and excellent among them would be sent to Hunter Island for four years of advanced studies.
During their advanced studies, they would be taught much knowledge that wild superhumans had no opportunity to master, and then they would be assigned to the associations in various regions for internships.
The young man following Sun Shanxing was one of the most outstanding among the demon-hunting interns of this batch.
After the interns completed the entire process, the vast majority would fill the vacant positions in the Hunter Associations in various places.
A small portion would return to Hunter Island to intercept creatures from the inner world that invaded reality.
And a very small number of excellent interns like Wang Duobao, after accumulating enough experience with Sun Shanxing, would start as squad leaders in regional associations to gain experience and merit. As long as they didn't die halfway, they could hold high positions in the association within a few years.
This seemed like a privilege, but the Hunter Island's intern system was a measure of last resort.
In other organizations, everyone would surely vie to be a leader.
But in the Hunter Association, strength determined status. Being a lone wolf like Wen Wen was more relaxed and comfortable.
Becoming a regional负责人, or a leader of a department in a branch, in addition to privileges and treatment, meant shouldering more responsibility. Moreover, one had to step up in critical situations and not back down…
Therefore, if outstanding talents were not deliberately selected and cultivated, there would truly not be enough officials in the Hunter Association responsible for command and dispatch, resource allocation, personnel appointments, and so on.

Moreover, managing an organization was not about fighting ability.
Some berserkers, if you asked them to single-handedly take the head of a certain monster, they could annihilate that monster's entire family and their neighbors.
But if you asked them to manage an organization in a region, they might not even be able to count how many subordinates they had…
Wang Duobao pondered for a few seconds, then said to Sun Shanxing:
"Old Mr. Fu is naturally trustworthy, but I think this information is coming in a somewhat strange way. It might be deliberately leaked by those undead."
"I suggest we first inform the Mingwang Esoteric Buddhism and take joint action with them, so as to avoid too many losses for us."
"Then we need to send people to investigate the situation at Tianzhu Peak. Based on the enemy's defensive information obtained, we should prepare for all kinds of emergencies. Roughly estimating that there might be four situations there, so we…"
Wang Duobao spoke for more than ten minutes, and Sun Shanxing nodded from time to time, indicating that he could follow Wang Duobao's line of thought.
After Wang Duobao finished, Sun Shanxing clapped his hands: "Good, we'll do as you say!"
In fact, by the end, Sun Shanxing wasn't really listening anymore. When Wang Duobao was first assigned to him, he used to guide Wang Duobao often.
But when he discovered that Wang Duobao's thinking was always more thorough than his, Sun Shanxing mostly gave up on thinking about complex matters.
Sun Shanxing had not undergone intern training. His becoming vice-chairman was solely because he was quite capable among True Order superhumans.
So he felt at ease in his laziness.
…
Wu Liugen and his group had stayed in Rabbit Village for three days. Their injuries had all healed, and they were in good spirits.
Except for those two unnamed extra demon hunters, who were made uncomfortable by Aunt Rabbit's treatment, everyone else was very satisfied.
On this day, Wen Wen was brushing his teeth while watching a few little rabbits play jump rope, his body shaking like an epileptic.
Because of the inability to use the communication function of the Hunting Terminal in the Gloomy Domain,
Wen Wen simply put a cover on the terminal and tied a toothbrush to it, using his strong vibration ability as a vibrating toothbrush.
Gu Panxi and the others had also seen Wen Wen brush his teeth with this thing, but no one had thought it was a Hunting Terminal.
After all, compared to a toothbrush, Wen Wen wore a mask while brushing his teeth, which was obviously more open to mockery.
Suddenly, Wen Wen stopped because the earring Wu Liugen gave him had received some information.
This information informed all the superhuman combatants on the demon hunter side who were in the Gloomy Domain to participate in an operation tomorrow.
The specific details of the operation were not yet disclosed, but Wen Wen knew that this operation was to围剿 Wen Li.
After three days, the Hunter Association should have investigated the truthfulness of that information, hence this operation.
Everyone needed to reach the designated location before dawn.
Wen Wen, belonging to the Black Cross, did not need to obey the Hunter Association's orders in this matter, but he still set off with Wu Liugen and the others.
When they left, a group of rabbits tearfully saw them off at the entrance.
If this operation was successful, the problems of the Qingji Plateau would be resolved, and Wen Wen would return to Rabbit Village. He would at least have to get the Rabbit Rabbit Massage Parlor up and running.
If the operation was unsuccessful, Wen Wen would probably have to go into hiding from now on, and naturally, he would have no mood to start a massage parlor.
However, before Wen Wen and his group set off, one person had already departed.
This person was wearing a blood-red robe, his face was pale and his expression was furious, emanating a terrifying aura. He was the Blood Clan Duke Eliyart!
Wen Wen's mission to him was to act as an assassin and assassinate Wen Li!
