Chapter 125 Massacre

Xu Jingming led more than a hundred people back into the mountains and forests, first gathering together.

"Everyone."

Xu Jingming looked at the numerous cosmic citizen players he had hired and said with a smile, "Everyone has worked hard these past two weeks! Please continue to work hard for one more hour according to the original plan. After that, the employment mission will officially end."

The players nodded, split into small teams, and went deep into the mountains and forests, leaving only Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, Tu Ling, Zhang Qing, and three eighth-level experts.

"Let's retreat as well."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

He himself took two eighth-level experts, Liu Hai took one eighth-level expert, while Tu Ling and Zhang Qing acted alone, also entering the depths of the mountains and forests.

…

On the official road, more than a hundred members of the Yang family's team had died. Under the scouring of the rain, blood slowly flowed into the ditch beside the road. The surviving guards and Yang family members looked at each other, their eyes filled with suspicion and unease.

"The Second Young Master is dead, but we can still go to the East Region," a Yang family member said. "With our strength of more than 170 people, it is enough to take root in an ordinary city in the East Region."

"Go to the East Region? The journey is long and arduous. Everyone has worked so hard, who will pay the wages?" a guard asked.

"At least everyone in the team is a ranked expert, and this journey is all about risking our lives, so the wages can't be low," another guard said.

The Yang family members looked at each other.

They still wanted to be masters and control these guards.

But the key now was that they had no money! The money had all been looted.

The stronger the guards, the higher the wages. Going to the East Region was too dangerous, and the wages were higher than usual. These guards needed at least ten taels of silver per month, and top-tier experts needed two hundred taels of silver per month! Of course, there were only two top-tier experts still alive in the team.

But the entire team needed several thousand taels of silver in wages each month!

"You have no money, yet you want us to serve you? What a joke," a guard sneered at the Yang family members.

"Even if we had money, we can't go to the East Region!" Qiao San said sternly, his eyes sweeping over the Yang family members. "This time, we betrayed the Second Young Master and watched him get killed. This news must not be known by the Yang family! If the Yang family finds out, our families in the capital will be implicated."

"Yes."

"We can't let the Yang family know."

Many guards were also afraid of this.

The Yang family's methods were very cruel to traitors.

Many of their guards were rooted in the capital, and their families were in the capital. Although the Yang family had sent teams to leave the capital, a large number of people, including the head of the family, Yang Muyang, still remained in the capital.

The Yang family's power in the capital was still strong enough to easily wipe out all the traitors' families.

"Those twenty-one people are Yang family members," the guards stared at the Yang family members.

The Yang family members trembled.

They no longer dared to expect to be masters.

"We are just collateral relatives."

"We also obediently followed the Second Young Master's orders. This time, we also betrayed and abandoned the Second Young Master. If we go back… we won't survive either."

"Yes, we also betrayed the Second Young Master."

The Yang family members said one after another.

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."

"Third Master Qiao, we'll listen to you."

"Yes, we are all in the same boat."

Many guards said.

Qiao San pointed to the corpses of Yang Liao and the others. "We will now immediately dispose of the bodies! We can't let the Yang family discover the Second Young Master's death! After that… we will go to White Sea Mountain, a hundred miles away, and find a mountain to settle down temporarily."

These people were almost all ranked experts, and they moved quickly, disposing of the bodies swiftly. Then, the group rode their horses, also taking the carriages forward, heading to the White Sea Mountains to settle down temporarily.

At the place where the fighting had taken place, nothing remained except some blood.

The Yang family did not know about the death of 'Yang Liao' and still thought that the team led by Yang Liao was on its way to the East Region.

…

Tu Ling and Zhang Qing separated and walked for a long time in the depths of the mountains and forests.

"It's about time." Tu Ling chose a place overgrown with weeds, reached out and lifted a piece of soil, kicked it with her foot, kicking out a hole. Then, she put her bag into it and covered it with the soil covered with weeds!

"You can't see any difference with the naked eye."

Tu Ling nodded with satisfaction. The place she chose had weeds nearly a meter high. In the messy grass, you couldn't see the traces of her hiding the package.

"My mission is complete." Tu Ling looked around and then disappeared into thin air, logging off directly.

Zhang Qing did the same, finding a suitable place in the depths of the mountains and forests, hiding her package, and then logging off.

******

It was noon, but the sky was dark and rain was falling.

Xu Jingming led two eighth-level experts towards the capital. They were not moving fast, taking each step steadily, their figures slightly blurred, moving at a speed of about twenty meters per second.

"Faced with the Blood Rain World's targeting, this time the gold is divided into four parts. My master and I are carrying gold to the capital! Sister Tu Ling and Sister Zhang are hiding gold in the depths of the mountains and forests."

"Four parts, each part not exceeding ten thousand gold. The Blood Rain World's targeting shouldn't be too strong, right?" Xu Jingming guessed secretly.

Suddenly, a group of black-clad figures came straight towards them from afar.

"They're hostile," an eighth-level expert 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.

"The Black Lotus Sect." Xu Jingming frowned and said, "These are all disciples of the Black Lotus Sect. As the oldest and most terrifying sect in the entire Blood Rain World, they are also the Blood Rain World's most common thugs. I didn't expect… there would be Black Lotus Sect disciples active a hundred miles outside the capital."

"The Blood Rain World's designated thugs?" The two eighth-level experts looked at the group of black-clad people with interest.

Recently, the capital had been in chaos. Many large families vaguely sensed something was wrong and began to send some of their clansmen to escape the capital!

And the Black Lotus Sect, which had been mainly engaged in rebellion for a long time, had already infiltrated everywhere in the capital. Naturally, they knew that these large families were sending teams to flee. Therefore, the Black Lotus Sect also mobilized a large number of people to quietly hunt around the capital.

This team of more than a hundred people was one of the squads.

If they encountered a large team! They would report the news to their superiors, who would decide on a course of action.

But if they encountered three or five people?

Naturally, they would just take care of them casually.

"Kneel down, and I might spare your lives!" the silver-haired elder, who was leading the group of over a hundred black-clad figures, shouted coldly as he intercepted Xu Jingming and his group.

The other black-clad people looked at Xu Jingming and his group as if they were looking at prey.

"Kneel down?" Xu Jingming exchanged glances with the two eighth-level experts beside him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three of them moved at the same time, charging straight at the black-clad people.

"Courting death!"

The Black Lotus Sect disciples felt insulted. They dared to be presumptuous with just three people? They immediately released the hidden weapons they were good at! In an instant, a large number of hidden weapons shot out, besieging Xu Jingming and his group.

The hidden weapons released by ranked experts were extremely threatening. With so many hidden weapons, even top-tier experts would be wary.

However, Xu Jingming and his group were cooperating!

"Clang clang clang."

The three of them cooperated with each other, only needing to block some of the hidden weapons. In the blink of an eye, they had charged into the crowd of Black Lotus Sect disciples.

Boom~~~ Boom~~~

Two terrifying mind powers suddenly erupted at this moment, impacting the minds of every Black Lotus Sect disciple. Although they couldn't completely incapacitate more than a hundred ranked experts at the same time, these disciples were greatly affected.

Most of them felt fear, and even felt that the world in front of them was distorted and deformed.

These disciples were mostly only at the second or third-rate level, with only three top-tier experts.

Puff puff puff!!!

Xu Jingming's spear wantonly slaughtered. Under the mind impact of his two companions, the reactions of the Black Lotus Sect disciples were a beat slower! The gap in strength between the two sides was already huge, and if their reactions were even slower? It was simply courting death!

In the drizzling rain, bloody spear flowers bloomed one after another! Black Lotus Sect disciples fell one after another.

Xu Jingming was, after all, a top-tier expert! Against these Black Lotus Sect disciples, who were mostly at the second or third-rate level, it was naturally a one-sided slaughter.

"What?" The silver-haired elder's face changed drastically. "Three top-tier experts?"

Three top-tier experts cooperated with each other, each only needing to deal with enemies in one direction.

If the deterrent force of a top-tier expert was one, then the deterrent force of three top-tier experts forming a formation and cooperating was ten!

The Black Lotus Sect could not break through their formation with just this one squad.

If they couldn't break through the formation, they would be slaughtered!

"Withdraw!"

The silver-haired elder gave the order and retreated violently.

Having received the order, the Black Lotus Sect disciples, who were already panicked, did not hesitate to flee in all directions, wishing their parents had given them two more legs.

Xu Jingming and his group were only three people after all, and they only managed to kill a few more people! The other Black Lotus Sect disciples had already scattered and fled far away.

"Being besieged by more than a hundred people, with all kinds of hidden weapon attacks, was indeed quite dangerous."

"The chief's spearmanship is also quite good, and he cooperated well with us. If it were just the two of us, this battle would have been much more difficult," the two eighth-level experts said with a smile.

"If I were acting alone, I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the first wave of hidden weapons," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

The three of them continued to move forward while chatting and laughing.

The Black Lotus Sect disciples returned to the original place after a while and collected the corpses of their fellow disciples.

"Those three were too strong."

"Each of them is a top-tier expert, and their mind powers are very terrifying."

"We were too unlucky to encounter such powerful three top-tier experts."

"Just after fighting for a while, nearly thirty people died."

These Black Lotus Sect disciples were all somewhat afraid.

…

After experiencing this group of Black Lotus Sect disciples, Xu Jingming had some speculation: "The area a hundred miles outside the capital is so vast. For our small team of three to encounter Black Lotus Sect disciples while operating in the wilderness is too coincidental. It's very likely that it's the Blood Rain World's targeting!"

Xu Jingming continued to observe his surroundings carefully.

Suddenly—

A voice sounded in his mind: "Jingming, on my way back to the capital, I encountered dozens of Black Lotus Sect experts. Those dozens of experts were very strong, and there was even a top-tier expert! I was killed, and I couldn't protect the gold."

Xu Jingming was slightly stunned.

His consciousness instantly left the Blood Rain World, and he comforted him: "Master, being targeted by the Blood Rain World was expected."

After comforting him, Xu Jingming continued on his way to the capital, but his mood was a little lower.

Because of the four parts of gold that had been divided.

He and his master had the most, both carrying 9,800 gold.

"I was intercepted, and my master was also attacked by Black Lotus Sect experts? How many experts did the Black Lotus Sect send around the capital?" Xu Jingming thought to himself.

At this moment, Xu Jingming vaguely realized…

While the many large families in the capital were sending teams to leave the capital quietly, the Black Lotus Sect was also lurking and hunting around the capital! This was also a large-scale collision between the large families in the capital and the Black Lotus Sect.

There would be many casualties on both sides.

He was just a small shrimp, and it was the Blood Rain World that guided him to encounter the Black Lotus Sect's interception.

"We've finally reached the capital." Xu Jingming looked at the south gate of the capital two or three miles away and breathed a sigh of relief.

The possibility of a large-scale fight near the capital was extremely low.

Because the capital's garrison could be attracted at any time.

"Thank you both for your hard work." Xu Jingming looked at the two eighth-level experts beside him. "The mission ends here."

"Alright." The two eighth-level experts nodded with a smile. For them, it was just an interesting experience.

"After playing with you a few times, I've learned a little about this Blood Rain World capital."

"You can try to explore."

The two eighth-level experts wanted to give it a try. At least Pang Ze and Xu Jingming's actions had been quite smooth.

Xu Jingming nodded. "The capital is becoming more and more chaotic, so you can try to fish in troubled waters, but don't be greedy!"

The two eighth-level experts nodded. "Goodbye."

The two disappeared into thin air and logged off directly.

For the two eighth-level experts, their collaboration with Xu Jingming and Pang Ze was just a simple one. The possibility of cooperating again in the future was very low.

Xu Jingming immediately rushed to the south gate. He didn't queue up, showed his token, and quickly entered the city.

…

After returning to the capital, Xu Jingming returned to his residence in the southern district and also arranged for an online transaction.

Soon there was a knock on the door.

Xu Jingming opened the courtyard door and saw a kind old man walking in with a thin man.

"Brother Jing." The old man praised, "It's only been a few days, and you have another 9,800 gold. Amazing."

"It wasn't easy," Xu Jingming closed the courtyard door, led the people into the house, took out the tattered vest, and tore it open violently. Gold bricks fell out one after another, piling up together.

The old man also took out a 20-tael gold brick and put it over, nodding to the thin man beside him: "Exactly ten thousand gold."

Xu Jingming watched from the side.

He had seen the sacrifice of ten thousand 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, his personal account also received cosmic currency.

"Your account has received 1,000,000 cosmic coins, balance: 1,908,200 cosmic coins, counterparty account: Myriad Realms Group." Xu Jingming also received a message about the change in his account balance.

Xu Jingming looked at the old man in surprise: "Old Zhang, did you pay too much?"

"I paid a little extra to give Brother Jing a round number," the old man said with a smile. "Please take care of my business in the future, Brother Jing."

"Definitely," Xu Jingming also thought the other party was quite generous.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave first." The old man turned and left.

After seeing the other party off, Xu Jingming felt much more relaxed.

What's in the bag is safe!

After the online transaction, the Blood Rain World couldn't take it away!

"I don't know how much will be left in those two packages outside the city," Xu Jingming thought to himself. Without delaying, he immediately put on a raincoat, put on a bamboo hat, and carried his spear bag back outside the city.

Time could bring changes, so it was better to go outside the city to find the packages as soon as possible.
