Chapter 309: End of Operation (1)

 

Xu Jingming led more than 100 people into the forests before rendezvousing.

“Everyone.” Xu Jingming looked at the many cosmic citizen players he had hired and smiled. “All of you did a good job for the past half a month! Please stick to the original plan. Just an hour more, and the mission will officially end.”

These players nodded and split into small teams that entered the depths of the forest, leaving only Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, Tu Ling, Zhang Qing, and the three Lv. 8 experts.

“Let’s retreat too.” Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

He led two Lv. 8 experts, while Liu Hai led one Lv. 8 expert. Tu Ling and Zhang Qing went alone into the depths of the forest.

More than 100 people in the Yang family convoy were left dead on the main road. The rain slowly washed the blood into the ditch beside them.

As for the many surviving guards and Yang family members in the open space, they looked at each other with doubt and unease in their eyes.

“Second Young Master is dead, but we can continue heading east,” a Yang family member said. “With the strength of more than 170 of us, we can take root in an ordinary city in the eastern region.”

“Head east? It’s a long and arduous journey. Who’s going to pay us?” a guard asked.

“The team consists of qualified experts, and we’ll be risking our lives along the way. That won’t come cheap,” another guard said.

The Yang family members looked at each other.

They still hoped to be masters and control these guards, but the critical point now was that they didn’t have money! The money had been plundered.

The higher the guards’ strength, the higher their salary. It was too dangerous to head to the eastern region, so the salary was higher than usual. These guards needed at least ten taels of silver a month, and the first-rate experts cost 200 taels of silver a month! Of course, only two first-rate experts in the team remained alive.

The entire convoy cost thousands of taels of silver every month!

“You want us to serve you without paying us? Dream on.” A guard scoffed at the Yang family members.

“Even if you are paying, we won’t go to the eastern region!” Third Qiao’s eyes were fierce as he swept his gaze at the Yang family. “We betrayed Second Young Master and watched helplessly as he and the others were killed. We can’t let the Yang family know about this! If the Yang family finds out, our families in the capital will definitely be implicated.”

“That’s right!”

“We can’t let the Yang family know.”

Many guards were also very afraid of this—the Yang family was very cruel to traitors.

Many of them 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 remained, including the family head, Yang Muyang.

The Yang family was still powerful enough in the capital, and they could easily wipe out all the traitors’ family members.

“The 21 of them are from the Yang family.” The guards stared at the Yang family members.

The hearts of the Yang family members trembled. They didn’t dare hold hopes of being masters anymore.

“We’re only a collateral branch.”

“We also have to listen to Second Young Master’s orders. We betrayed and abandoned Second Young Master this time. If we return… we won’t be able to survive.”

“Right, we also betrayed Second Young Master.” The Yang family members immediately spoke.

Third Qiao swept his gaze around and said, “All 173 of us have to act together! Anyone who dares to betray the team and inform the Yang family will be hunted down by everyone else.”

“Third Lord Qiao, you call the shots.”

“Right, all of us are in the same boat.”

Many guards spoke.

Third Qiao pointed at the corpses of Yang Liao and the others. “Let’s deal with the corpses immediately! We can’t let the Yang family discover Second Young Master’s death! After that… let’s go to White Sea Mountain more than 50 kilometers away and find a mountain to establish ourselves on.”

Almost all of these people were qualified experts, and they were very fast. They quickly dealt with the corpses. Then, everyone rode their horses and brought the carriage forward to temporarily stay in the White Sea Mountains.

Other than some blood, there was nothing left on the original battlefield.

The Yang family didn’t know of Yang Liao’s death and thought that the team he led was on the way to the eastern region.

Tu Ling and Zhang Qing separated and walked for a long time in the forest.

It’s about time. Tu Ling chose a spot in the weeds and reached out to lift a piece of soil. She kicked it with her foot, producing a hole. Then, she placed her bundle inside and covered the soil with weeds!

One can’t tell the difference with the naked eye. Tu Ling nodded in satisfaction.

The place she chose had weeds nearly a meter tall, and there were no traces of her hiding her bundle in the grass.

My mission is complete. Tu Ling looked around and then disappeared into thin air, having gone offline.

It was the same for Zhang Qing. She found a suitable place deep in the forest, hid her bundle, and went offline.

******

Despite it being noon, the sky was dark, and raindrops were falling.

Xu Jingming led the two Lv. 8 experts in the direction of the capital. They weren’t particularly fast, their figures a little blurry as they walked step by step. They moved at about 20 meters per second.

In the face of Blood Rain World’s targeting, the gold was divided into four parts. Master and I will each rush to the capital with the gold! Sister Tu Ling and Sister Zhang will hide the gold in the forest.

None of the four parts exceeds 10,000 gold. The targeting of Blood Rain World shouldn’t be too intense, right? Xu Jingming guessed.

Suddenly, a group of black-robed figures charged over from afar.

“They’re hostile,” said a Lv. 8 expert beside him.

Upon closer inspection, Xu Jingming noticed that the figures in the distance were wearing black clothes with a faint lotus pattern on them.
