Demon Sword wasn't carrying any significant treasures. The only item of apparent value, the Famous Blade Xianyue, had already been shattered to pieces during his confrontation with Shi Ming, rendering it useless.
Among his personal effects was a communicator, on which Shi Ming found quite a few communication logs.
The most recent message on the communicator had been sent by Demon Sword to "Yan Dao Lin" not long ago. The message was only a few words long:
"Target has been found."
Scrolling up, he found a message from "Yan Dao Lin": "You must expedite this mission. The primary objective is to recover the Map of the Endless Sea. Once you find the target, slaughter everyone on board, regardless of whether they cooperate. Leave no one alive. All bodies must be returned—leave none behind."
Shi Ming frowned.
'Slaughter them all, whether they cooperate or not?'
'This Yan Dao Lin is far too ruthless!'
