Chapter 855: Mud Association
“As expected of the Mud Association. They did not disappoint.”
Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou were currently strolling on a street and watching the Seventy Two Water Land Alliance rushing here and there in a flurry. From time to time, they would hear someone talking about the Sword Ghoul and the real truth behind Xiang Weilong’s death.
The Seventy Two Water Land Alliance could not have known that the culprit behind the leak was right under their nose this whole time, touring their city at his leisure and enjoying their frantic activity.
“‘The birds fly in the sky, the mud meets on the ground’. If they couldn’t do this much, they wouldn’t dare to call themselves by this slogan,” Feng Qingyou replied smilingly.
The Bird Gathering and the Mud Association were two mysterious organizations who made a living transmitting, spreading, and trading information in the jianghu.
The difference between the duo was the method in which they performed their business. Bird Gathering used all sorts of tamed birds to transmit, scout, and spread information, whereas Mud Association used all sorts of tamed beasts to perform the same task. Hence the slogan.
Besides that, the two organizations were mostly identical. They both had roots in nearly every part of the world, and their members came from all walks of life. A beggar on the street, a passerby on the street, a storyteller in a restaurant and so on could all be a part of the organization.
Both Bird Gathering and Mud Association possessed their own unique methods of communication and channels. As a result, they were exceedingly well-informed and could often collect intel that were difficult for the average person to find out in just a short amount of time. They also possessed the ability to spread information to the farthest corners of the world in the shortest time possible. For example, if Warrior A wanted everyone in the world to know that Warrior B was a bedwetter and paid Bird Gathering the appropriate sum of money, the job would be done in a matter of hours at most.
This was why Ye Qing went to the Mud Association as soon as he confirmed their action plan. Everyone had their own specialty, and he was only one person. He knew that it was impossible for him to spread the news regarding Sword Ghoul to the entire jianghu within the timeframe he was given. Not only would the Seventy Two Water Land Alliance be able to shut down his efforts with ease, he would be giving away his location and his identity as well. It would be the stupidest way of doing things.
