Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 60: End of Operation
Xu Jingming led more than a hundred people to retreat into the mountains and forests and gathered together first.
"Everyone."
Xu Jingming looked at the many Space Citizen players he had hired and said with a smile, "You have all worked hard for the past half month! Please follow the original action plan and work hard for another hour, after which the hiring mission will officially end."
All the players nodded, divided into small teams, and went deep into the forest. Only Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, Tu Ling, Zhang Qing and three eighth-level masters were left.
"We will withdraw too."
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
He brought two eighth-level masters with him, Liu Hai brought an eighth-level master with him, and Tu Ling and Zhang Qing acted alone and also entered the depths of the forest.
…
On the official road, more than a hundred people from the Yang family died, and under the rain, blood slowly flowed into the ditch beside. The many guards and Yang family members who survived in the open space looked at each other with suspicion and uneasiness in their eyes.
"The Second Young Master is dead, but we can continue to go to the Eastern Region." A member of the Yang family said, "With the strength of more than 170 of us, we are enough to take root in an ordinary city in the Eastern Region."
"Going to the Eastern Region? The journey is long and arduous. Everyone has worked hard, but who will pay them?" a guard asked.
"Everyone in the team is at least top-notch experts. They have fought hard along the way, so their wages must be high." Other guards also said.
The Yang family members looked at each other.
They still want to be the masters and control these guards.
But the key point now is that they have no money! All the money has been looted.
The stronger the guards, the higher their wages. Going to the East Region is too dangerous, so the wages are higher than usual. These guards earn at least ten taels of silver a month, and as many as two hundred taels of silver a month for a first-class master! Of course, there are only two first-class masters still alive in the team.
But the entire team’s monthly wages would cost several thousand taels of silver!
"You have no money, and you still want us to work for you? You're dreaming." A guard sneered at the Yang family members.
"Even if you have money, you can't go to the East Region!" Qiao San's eyes were fierce as he swept his gaze over the Yang family. "This time we betrayed the Second Young Master and watched him and his men being killed. This news must not be known to the Yang family! If the Yang family knew, our family members in the imperial capital would definitely be implicated."
"yes."
"We can't let the Yang family know."
Many guards were also afraid of this.
The Yang family is very cruel to traitors.
Many of their guards were rooted in the imperial capital, and their families were all in the imperial capital. Although the Yang family sent teams to leave the imperial capital, there were still a large number of people left in the imperial capital, including the head of the family, Yang Muyang.
The Yang family is still powerful enough in the imperial capital to easily wipe out all the traitors’ families.
"There are twenty-one of them, and they are members of the Yang family." The guards stared at those members of the Yang family.
The Yang family members were trembling.
I don't dare to aspire to be the master anymore.
"We are just a side branch."
"We also obeyed the Second Young Master's orders obediently. This time, we also betrayed and abandoned the Second Young Master. If we go back... we will have no chance of survival."
"Yes, we also betrayed the Second Young Master."
These members of the Yang family all said this.
Qiao San glanced around and said, "All 173 of us must act together! Anyone who dares to betray the team and inform the Yang family will be hunted down by everyone else."
"Mr. Qiao San, I'll listen to you."
"Yes, we are all in the same boat."
Many guards said this.
Qiao San pointed at the bodies of Yang Liao and the others and said, "Let's deal with the bodies now! We can't let the Yang family find out about the second young master's death! After that... we will go to Baihai Mountain, which is over a hundred miles away, and find a hilltop to gain a foothold first."
Almost all of these people were experts, and they acted very quickly, and quickly dealt with the bodies. Afterwards, they rode their horses and also took their carriages forward, heading for the White Sea Mountains to take shelter temporarily.
Where the fight had taken place, nothing was left except some blood.
The Yang family was also unaware of Yang Liao's death and thought that the team led by Yang Liao was on their way to the Eastern Region.
…
Tu Ling and Zhang Qing separated and walked deep in the forest for a long time.
"It's almost time." Tu Ling chose a place with overgrown weeds, stretched out his hand to lift up a piece of soil, kicked it with his foot to make a hole, then put his package in it and covered the overgrown soil with weeds!
“You can’t tell the difference with the naked eye.”
Tu Ling nodded in satisfaction. The place she chose was covered with weeds nearly one meter high, and there was no trace of where she had hidden the package among the weeds.
"My mission is accomplished." Tu Ling looked around, then disappeared out of thin air and went offline directly.
Zhang Qing did the same. He also found a suitable place deep in the forest, hid the package and went offline.
…
It was clearly noon, but the sky was dark and raindrops were falling.
Xu Jingming led two eighth-level masters and headed towards the imperial capital. They were not moving very fast, taking one step at a time. Their figures were slightly blurry, and their speed was about twenty meters per second.
"In the face of the Blood Rain World's targeting, this time the gold is divided into four parts. My master and I will each carry the gold to the imperial capital! Sister Tu Ling and Sister Zhang will hide the gold deep in the mountains and forests."
"There are four parts, and each part is no more than 10,000 gold. The targeting of the Blood Rain World should not be too strong, right?" Xu Jingming guessed secretly.
Suddenly, a group of figures in black came running towards us from a distance.
"There is hostility." An eighth-level master beside Xu Jingming said.
Xu Jingming looked carefully and noticed that the figures in the distance were all wearing black clothes with faint lotus patterns on them.
"Black Lotus Sect." Xu Jingming frowned and said, "These are all disciples of the Black Lotus Sect. As the sect with the longest history and the most terrifying strength in the entire Blood Rain World, they are also the most commonly used thugs in the Blood Rain World. I just didn't expect... that there are disciples of the Black Lotus Sect a hundred miles outside the imperial capital."
"The Blood Rain World's official thugs?" Two eighth-rank masters looked at the group of men in black with great interest.
There were more than a hundred people in this group of black-clothed men. The leader was a silver-haired old man with cold eyes. When he intercepted Xu Jingming and the other two, he shouted directly: "Kneel down, and I will spare your lives!"
The other men in black looked at Xu Jingming and the other two as if they were looking at prey.
The imperial capital has been in chaos recently, and many large families have sensed that something is wrong, and have begun to send some of their clansmen to flee the imperial capital!
Over the long years, the Black Lotus Sect, which had always been committed to rebellion, had already infiltrated the imperial capital and naturally knew that those big families had sent teams to flee. Therefore, the Black Lotus Sect also mobilized a large number of people and horses to secretly hunt outside the imperial capital.
This team of more than a hundred people is one of the teams.
If you encounter a large team, you must report the news to the higher level and decide on the action plan.
Can you meet three or five people?
Naturally, it was solved easily.
"Kneel down?" Xu Jingming exchanged glances with the two eighth-level masters beside him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three of them moved at the same time and rushed towards the men in black.
"court death!"
The disciples of the Black Lotus Sect all felt offended. How dare three people be so presumptuous? They immediately released their hidden weapons! In an instant, a large number of hidden weapons flew out and besieged Xu Jingming and the other three.
The hidden weapons released by the mediocre masters are extremely threatening. Once there are a large number of hidden weapons, even the top masters will be afraid of them.
But Xu Jingming and his team are working together as three people!
“Ding ding ding.”
The three of them cooperated with each other and only needed to block some of the hidden weapons. In the blink of an eye, the three of them had rushed into the crowd of Black Lotus Sect disciples.
Boom~ Boom~
Two terrifying mental powers suddenly erupted at this moment, impacting the minds of every Black Lotus Sect disciple. Although the simultaneous impact on more than a hundred junior masters could not make them lose their ability to resist, these disciples were also greatly affected.
Most of them felt terrified, and even felt that the world before their eyes was distorted.
Most of these disciples were only second-rate or third-rate, with only three first-rate masters.
Puff puff puff!!!
Xu Jingming killed wantonly with his spear. Under the mental shock of his two companions, the reaction of the Black Lotus Sect disciples was a little slow! The gap in strength between the two sides was already huge. If they reacted any slower? It would be a complete suicide!
In the falling rain, blood-red gun flowers bloomed! One by one, Black Lotus Sect disciples fell down.
After all, Xu Jingming was also a top-notch expert! It was natural that he slaughtered most of the Black Lotus Sect disciples who were second- and third-rate in strength.
"What?" The silver-haired old man's face changed drastically, "Three top-notch masters?"
The three top-notch masters cooperate with each other, and each of them only needs to deal with enemies in one direction.
If the deterrent power of a top-notch master is one, then the deterrent power of three top-notch masters forming a formation and cooperating with each other is ten!
The Black Lotus Sect's single team alone could not break through the three-man formation.
If you can’t break the formation, you will be slaughtered!
"withdraw!"
The silver-haired old man gave the order and retreated violently.
Upon receiving the order, the already panicked Black Lotus Sect disciples fled madly in all directions without hesitation, wishing their parents had not given them two more legs.
After all, Xu Jingming and his group were only three people, and they killed several people! The other Black Lotus Sect disciples had already fled far away.
"With over a hundred people surrounding us and all kinds of hidden weapons attacking us, it is indeed very dangerous."
"The leader's marksmanship is also very powerful, and he cooperates well with us. If it's just the two of us, this battle will be much more difficult." The two eighth-level masters said with a smile.
"If I act alone, I probably won't be able to withstand the first wave of hidden weapons." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
The three of them continued to move forward, chatting and laughing.
After a while, the Black Lotus Sect disciples returned to their original place and collected the bodies of their fellow disciples.
"These three are too strong."
"Every one of them is a top-notch master, and their mental powers are terrifying."
"I'm so unlucky that I actually ran into three such powerful top-notch masters."
"After just a short fight, nearly thirty people died."
These Black Lotus Sect disciples were all a little scared.
…
After experiencing this group of Black Lotus Sect disciples, Xu Jingming also had some guesses: "The area outside the imperial capital is a hundred miles away, what a vast area. Our small team of three was operating in the wilderness, and we were all encountered by the Black Lotus Sect disciples. It's too coincidental. It's most likely that they are targeted by the Blood Rain World!"
Xu Jingming still looked around carefully.
suddenly--
A voice sounded in his mind: "Jingming, I encountered dozens of masters from the Black Lotus Sect on my way back to the imperial capital. Those dozens of masters were very powerful, and there was even a top-notch master! I was killed, and the gold was not saved."
Xu Jingming was slightly stunned.
His consciousness instantly left the Blood Rain World and he consoled him, "Master, being targeted by the Blood Rain World is also within our expectations."
After comforting her, Xu Jingming continued on his journey to the imperial capital, but he was a little depressed.
Because the gold was divided into four parts.
Myself and my master carried the most, each carrying 9,800 gold.
"I was intercepted here, and my master was also attacked by masters of the Black Lotus Sect? How many masters did the Black Lotus Sect send around the imperial capital?" Xu Jingming thought to himself.
At this moment Xu Jingming vaguely realized...
While many big families in the imperial capital sent teams to quietly leave the imperial capital, the Black Lotus Sect was also lurking around the imperial capital to hunt! This was also a large-scale collision between the big families in the imperial capital and the Black Lotus Sect.
There will be heavy casualties on both sides.
He was just a small shrimp, and was guided by the Blood Rain World, only to be intercepted by the Black Lotus Sect.
"We've finally arrived at the imperial capital." Xu Jingming hurried along the way and looked at the south gate of the imperial capital two or three miles away, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
The possibility of a large-scale fighting breaking out near the imperial capital is extremely low.
Because the defenders of the imperial capital may be attracted at any time.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Jingming looked at the two eighth-level masters beside him, "The mission ends here, officially."
"Okay." The two eighth-level masters smiled and nodded. For them, it was just an interesting experience.
"I've been with you guys for a few times, so I have some understanding of the capital of this Blood Rain World."
“You can try to explore it.”
Both of these eighth-level masters wanted to give it a try. At least Pang Ze and Xu Jingming's actions were quite smooth.
Xu Jingming nodded: "The imperial capital is becoming more and more chaotic now. You can try to fish in troubled waters, but don't be greedy!"
The two eighth-level masters nodded and said, "Goodbye."
The two of them disappeared out of thin air and went offline directly.
For the two eighth-level masters, it was just a simple cooperation with Xu Jingming and Pang Ze. The possibility of cooperation again in the future was very low.
Xu Jingming immediately rushed to the South Gate, did not queue up, showed his token and quickly entered the city.
…
After returning to the imperial capital, Xu Jingming returned to his residence in Nancheng District and also made an appointment for an online transaction.
Soon someone knocked on the door.
When Xu Jingming opened the gate, he saw a kind old man walking in with a thin man.
"Brother Jing," the old man exclaimed, "It's only been a few days, and you've got another 9,800 gold. That's amazing."
"It's not easy." Xu Jingming closed the gate and led his men into the house. He took out the tattered vest and tore it open. Gold bars fell out and piled up together.
The old man also took out a 20-liang gold nugget and put it over, nodding to the thin man beside him: "It's exactly 10,000 gold."
Xu Jingming watched from the side.
He had seen the sacrifice of 10,000 gold several times and was very familiar with it.
Under the familiar light, the thin man and the ten thousand gold disappeared.
At the same time, Universe Coins will also be credited to your personal account.
"100,000,000 cosmic coins have been deposited into your account, balance: 190,820,000 cosmic coins, the other party's account: Wanjie Group." Xu Jingming also received news of the account balance change.
Xu Jingming looked at the old man in astonishment: "Mr. Zhang, did you overpay?"
"I paid a little more to make it even for Brother Jing." The old man smiled and said, "Brother Jing, please take care of my business in the future."
"Sure." Xu Jingming also felt that the other party was quite generous.
"Okay, then I'll take my leave first." The old man turned and left.
After sending the other person away, Xu Jingming felt much more relaxed.
Secure the profits!
After the online transaction, the Blood Rain World can no longer be taken away!
"I don't know how much of the two packages outside the city are left." Xu Jingming thought to himself. Without any delay, he put on his straw raincoat, put on a bamboo hat, carried his gun bag and went out of the city again.
It would be worse if you delay, so you'd better go out of the city to look for the package early.
