Chapter 139: He Wants to Capture a Live Victim

Peak!

That being said, at his slight nod, Xun Lingyin still followed Shi Chun and the other person, but did not enter the cave.

After they left, Hu Yan Dao turned to Jin Zaogong, who was standing nearby, and said, "Go keep an eye on that group from Bilanzong."

There was no other way but to have his junior brother handle such a low-level task. This matter truly needed to be kept quiet, and it couldn't be carried out by outsiders, otherwise, it would easily lead to future troubles.

Jin Zaogong nodded and left.

Xiang Lan'er, who had been sitting quietly in the cave, saw the two return and stood up, wanting to ask Shi Chun what his earlier glance had meant.

Wu Jinliang, who had observed the outside before entering the cave, quickly caught up to Shi Chun and whispered, "The thing we just talked about, they found a way to verify it so quickly, it's a bit abnormal. Having us show our faces late at night, can't they even wait until dawn?"

Shi Chun didn't need to be reminded; his alertness was no weaker than Wu Jinliang's. He gestured with his chin towards Xiang Lan'er, "Leaving her here, isn't that just for probing?"

Xiang Lan'er interjected, asking, "What do you mean?"

Wu Jinliang: "That bastard Hu Yan Dao might have sold us out."

Xiang Lan'er froze, speechless. She had thought they were going to do something big, but instead, she had been led into a trap.

Furthermore, regarding An'e's group, even if he dared to openly oppose An Efan and publicly claim responsibility for the Xuanzhou championship, was he sure that those few of them would have a good outcome?

Of course, he was also startled by Chu Jingting's ruthlessness; he truly didn't value the lives of other sect disciples.

Compared to other areas in the land of exile, although he was a young boss, the time he had spent as a boss was definitely long. Other bosses would run once they had accumulated enough merit, but he was different; he had truly stayed in the boss position for several years.

Lao Changtai also reached the entrance of the cave he was watching. He quietly peered into every corner inside, but the dim light of the night didn't reveal anything significant. He first crouched down against the wall, then turned to his fellow disciples with whom he had discussed a plan and signaled, "Go to Wu."

As he spoke, he directly pulled out a Zian'e charm and sent a message to An Efan: "Brother Chu."

Jin Zaogong angrily said, "There's no need for such trouble. I'll make this public now and let everyone know. Let's see what Chu Jingting dares to do."

Wu Jinliang, however, wasn't as worried as her. He asked Shi Chun, "What now? Do we leave or fight?"

Lao Changtai, who was hiding at the cave entrance secretly observing, upon discovering this, his heart instantly turned cold by half. He couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Shi Chun, oh Shi Chun, you've completely ruined me!"

Suddenly, the sandalwood golden flame energy in the cave extinguished. Feeling something amiss, he immediately sat up and stared intently.

Su Yuanzong collapsed. An'e then turned to Su Yuanzong and said, "Brother Gou, you and junior brother go ahead. Your junior sister is not feeling well, so I'll entrust her to Brother Xun's care."

Wu Jinliang: "I don't know either, he wants to capture someone alive."

The problem is her sensitive identity; if she were forced to expose herself publicly, it would be very troublesome.

Main Charm: "Don't come over. Wang Shengdao wants to send you out and has already sent people to watch you. They might also be under surveillance by Wang Shengdao's people. You should first make the best preparations as I told you. I will make the final confirmation here. Once confirmed, I will contact you immediately to evacuate. That's all for now. Someone in the cave is waiting to depart."

An Efan sighed, "Brother Lao, aren't you speaking in anger? I'm purely well-intentioned. Once we fall into *their* hands, with so many people, who can guarantee that everyone will keep silent about what happened that night? Give me half a Zian'e charm. Once Brother Wang confirms the news, if evacuation becomes necessary, we will contact you immediately."

The three people exited the cave, met with Su Yuanzong, and quickly left the area under his guidance.

How could he still hesitate? According to what he had discussed with his fellow disciples, his fellow disciples would draw away attention, and he would slip away. He quickly slipped out of the cave entrance and rapidly moved away along the edges.

An Efan, who had suddenly frozen, hadn't expected such a situation. He deeply regretted his rashness. He quickly turned away to avoid revealing his face and slowly strolled along the cliff. Reaching the edge, he sat down. While secretly watching the two who had come out, he also kept an eye on the location of the Bilanzong cave entrance below, paying attention to both sides.

An Efan sighed, "Brother Lao, aren't you speaking in anger? If you publicize this, it might kill Shi Chun and the others. Once Shi Chun and the others are dead, what evidence will you have?"

Not to mention being the longest-serving boss in history, he was at least one of the longer-serving ones.

An'e released Xiang Huyin's arm. There was no other way; he was only at the initial martial cultivation stage and couldn't keep up without being pulled.

He now had his treasure armor on, which easily stirred his fighting spirit. He had long wanted to find someone to fight. Last time in the ice plains, he had wanted a group to attack him together, but they all ran away, preventing him from finding an opportunity.

Wu Jinliang turned his head and glanced at him. He said to Main Charm, "Senior Brother, aren't we revealing our faces a bit too much?"

After a period of calm, Jin Zaogong eventually also quietly slipped out of the cave. Although he was in a bad mood, the reasoning was correct: the more people dragged into this, the better.

Main Charm truly wasn't trying to scare him. If someone wanted to silence them, how could they only eliminate these three people? The seven from Bilanzong definitely wouldn't escape either. People, it seemed, had many choices, but often had no ability to choose, so they could only take the nearest path. An Efan's hands were a little unsure of where to place themselves properly, then he couldn't put them down at all, because his entire body was stiff.

Main Charm: "Wang Shengdao might have sold you to Chu Jingting. You might be silenced. The matter is not yet settled, but first make the best preparations."

He had originally held some hope, but upon seeing that they were indeed being watched, his hopes were instantly dashed. He knew that real trouble was at hand.

Su Yuanzong looked around and nodded, "That's right, it should be referring to this place."

Such grumbling words, Main Charm merely glanced at them and didn't take them seriously.

It was too late to drag too many sects into this at once, but those ten who participated in Guan Wen's demise were even better to implicate.

Main Charm's left eye ability was already activated. He scanned the intertwined mountains, seeing everything that needed to be seen. He said, "That's about it, let's do it like this." He moved his fingers on one hand, making them limber.

But before the words fell, there was another jolt. Xiang Huyin suddenly turned around. Only after seeing Su Yuanzong's appearance did he understand what the earlier speculation was about. He took a few steps back and asked, "What are you doing?" Lao Changtai quickly replied: "Brother Wang, what are your instructions?"

Under the stars and moon, in a dark corner, Xun Lingyin sat half-leaning against a rock, staring at the cave entrance on the opposite mountain wall. An'e: "It's also possible we're overly worried; we still need to make a final confirmation. However, the signs are indeed concerning, so we must still make the worst-case preparations. If we truly fall into that scoundrel's trap, then my years as a boss in Dongsi Yuan will have been for nothing."

"I just don't want to lose without understanding clearly," An'e said. "I want to figure out exactly what's going on. Then we must capture someone alive." As he spoke, he raised his hand behind him and, with a whoosh, drew his saber. He then patted An Efan's cheek with the cold blade.

Lao Changtai: "Brother Wang, I'll give you one more chance: if I see him, I'll turn around and leave immediately, and definitely won't get to know him!"

Seeing Jin Zaogong's unwilling expression, Lao Changtai then turned and reached out to his seven fellow disciples, "Who will give me half a Zilan'er charm quickly? Don't dawdle! Do you all want to be silenced?!"

Below the cliff top, the two fellow disciples who had split up and descended met up again and sat side by side, watching the moonlight.

He put away the Zilan'er charm and said to Wu Jinliang and Xiang Lan'er, "Don't keep people waiting, let's go."

Xiang Huyin was unwilling. He struggled, saying, "There's no need..."

The other two remaining fellow disciples in the cave remained hidden and did not reveal themselves.

It's unknown what Lao Changtai's reaction was upon seeing that message. His reply was: "Don't scare me."

Main Charm was seen pulling Xiang Huyin along and directly pushing him into his hands.

Shi Chun, while not entirely righteous, could be understood. Wasn't everyone being forced to protect themselves because Chu Jingting left them no choice? He was not wrong in saying that the fewer people who knew secretly, the more dangerous they would be.

The two fellow disciples immediately emerged from the darkness, leapt directly out of the cave, and swept up to the cliff top, one to the left and one to the right.

An Efan was slightly stunned. However, it was just right. He smiled faintly and said, "Alright, leave it to me."

Standing at the foot of the mountain and no longer moving forward, Main Charm asked, "Brother Wei, judging by the distance and terrain, the place Brother An'e mentioned should be right here, shouldn't it?"

These words indeed sounded a bit confusing to ordinary people. Wu Jinliang's fingers, which had been continuously tapping on his back, slowly relaxed.

How could his seven fellow disciples be any different? They all felt as if disaster had struck from the heavens.

Therefore, he didn't explain anything to him, nor did he have time for pleasantries. He directly told him what to do: "The more people who know, the better. Go find Wu Hong and his group. Get all ten sects who worked together in Yuehai involved. Once there's a change, have them cover the retreat of your Bilanzong first, and then we'll leave."

Main Charm didn't care if he was willing or not; he had already pushed him into Su Yuanzong's arms.

Finally, he still left with half a Zian'e charm.

In another cave, inside the cave opened by the Ziyun Sect, a guest suddenly arrived. The leader, Jin Zaogong, was originally quite happy. Having been stuck there for so long, having someone visit was a diversion. However, after listening to Lao Changtai's narration, Jin Zaogong immediately wished he could strangle him.

The so-called Wu Hong and his group were those sects implicated when Guan Wen fell in Yuehai. After connecting with Lao Changtai, they had talked about this along the way. According to An Yan, Wang Shengdao had taken over not just the Bilanzong, but also the nearby sects.

Lao Changtai: "Brother Wang, you must be joking. Are you still in the cave? I'll go find you."

In the wilderness under the stars and moon, at the foot of two intertwining mountains, An'e, who had been long-distance traveling and pulling Xiang Huyin along, suddenly stopped, causing Wu Jinliang and Su Yuanzong, who were accompanying them, to also stop.

But as a long-time partner, Main Charm understood immediately. This was referring to Su Yuanzong: "It's for you to show your face. Why didn't that fellow Gou avoid it earlier?"

Xun Lingyin, who had been secretly watching intently, was startled. He immediately flashed and shot towards the opposite cliff top.

Wu Jinliang sneered.
