“Black Lotus Sect,” Xu Jingming said with a frown. “These are all disciples of the Black Lotus Sect. As the sect with the longest history and most terrifying strength in Blood Rain World, they are also the most commonly employed thugs in Blood Rain World. I just didn’t expect… Black Lotus Sect disciples to appear 50 kilometers outside the capital.”

“Thugs hired by Blood Rain World?” The two Lv. 8 experts looked at the group of black-robed men with interest.

There were more than 100 people in this group of black-robed men.

The silver-haired elder in the lead had a cold gaze. When he intercepted Xu Jingming and the others, he shouted, “Kneel, and I’ll spare your lives!”

The other black-robed men stared at Xu Jingming and the others as if they were prey.

The capital had been in chaos recently, and many large families had a nagging feeling that something was amiss. Thus, they began to get their family members to escape the capital!

Over the years, the Black Lotus Sect—which had always focused on rebellion—had long infiltrated the capital. They naturally knew that the large families had sent convoys out. Therefore, the Black Lotus Sect also mobilized a large number of people to secretly hunt outside the capital.

This team of more than 100 people was one of the teams.

If they encountered a large team, the higher-ups would decide on a plan after receiving the news!

But when encountering three to five people? They would naturally finish them off easily.

“Kneel?” Xu Jingming exchanged looks with the two Lv. 8 experts beside him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three of them moved at the same time and pounced at the black-robed men.

“Die!” The Black Lotus Sect disciples took umbrage. How dare just three people act with such defiance?

All of them immediately released the concealed weapons they were best at! Instantly, a large number of concealed weapons shot out and surrounded Xu Jingming and the others.

The concealed weapons released by qualified experts posed a huge threat—even super experts would falter in the face of a large number of concealed weapons.

However, Xu Jingming and the others worked together!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The three of them worked together and only needed to block a portion of the concealed weapons. In the blink of an eye, the three of them charged into the crowd of Black Lotus Sect disciples.

Boom! Boom!

Two terrifying psychic forces suddenly erupted and struck every Black Lotus Sect disciple’s mind. Although attacking more than 100 qualified experts at the same time couldn’t make them lose their ability to resist, these disciples were still greatly affected.

Most of them felt fear, and they even felt the world in front of them distort.

Most of these disciples were only second-rate or third-rate, with only three first-rate experts.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

Xu Jingming slaughtered wantonly with his spear. Thanks to the mental impact dealt to the enemy—courtesy of his two companions—the Black Lotus Sect disciples’ reaction slowed down a little!

The gap in strength between the two parties was huge to begin with. If their reaction were any slower, they would be courting death!

Under the downpour, blood-colored flashes bloomed! The Black Lotus Sect disciples collapsed one after another.

Xu Jingming was a super expert after all! He naturally slaughtered most of the second-rate and third-rate Black Lotus Sect disciples.

“What?” The silver-haired elder’s expression changed drastically. “Three super experts?”

With three super experts working together, each of them only needed to deal with an enemy in one direction.

If the deterrence force of a super expert was 1, then the deterrence force of three super experts in a formation was 10!

Just the Black Lotus Sect alone couldn’t break through the trio’s formation. If they couldn’t break through the formation, they could only be slaughtered!

“Retreat!” the silver-haired elder ordered and retreated.

Upon receiving the order, the panicking Black Lotus Sect disciples didn’t hesitate to flee in all directions. They wished they had more than two legs.

Xu Jingming and the others only had three people after all, but they managed to kill several more! The other Black Lotus Sect disciples had long fled into the distance.

“It’s indeed quite dangerous to be surrounded by more than a hundred people and have them deliver sneak attacks with all kinds of concealed weapons.”

“Leader, your spearmanship is quite impressive as well, and he works quite well with us. If it were just the two of us, this battle would be much harder,” the two Lv. 8 experts said with a smile.

“If I were alone, I probably wouldn’t be able to block the first wave of concealed weapons,” Xu Jingming commented with a smile.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they continued forward.

The Black Lotus Sect disciples only returned after a while to collect the corpses of their fellow disciples.

“These three are too strong.”

“All of them are super experts, and their mental strength is very terrifying.”

“What bad luck. We actually encountered three powerful super experts.”

“Nearly 30 people died in just a short battle.”

These Black Lotus Sect disciples felt lingering fear.

…

After experiencing this batch of Black Lotus Sect disciples, Xu Jingming had a guess. How vast is the area 50 kilometers away from the capital? It’s too much of a coincidence for our small team to encounter the Black Lotus Sect disciples in the wilderness. It’s most likely Blood Rain World’s targeting!

Xu Jingming still carefully observed his surroundings.

Suddenly—

A voice sounded in his mind. “Jingming, I encountered dozens of experts from the Black Lotus Sect on my way back to the capital. Those experts were very strong, and there was even a super expert! I was killed and couldn’t retain the gold.”

Xu Jingming was slightly stunned. His consciousness then instantly left Blood Rain World, and he comforted, “Master, it’s within expectations that Blood Rain World will target you.”

After comforting him, Xu Jingming continued his journey to the capital, but he was a little down. This was because of the four portions of gold, he and his master carried the most at 9,800 gold.

I was intercepted here, and Master was also attacked by the Black Lotus Sect’s experts? How many experts did the Black Lotus Sect send around the capital?

At this moment, he vaguely realized…

As many large families in the capital sent teams to leave the capital quietly, the Black Lotus Sect also lurked and hunted around the capital! This was also a large-scale clash between the large families in the capital and the Black Lotus Sect.

There would be a large number of casualties on both sides.

He was only a small fry. It was thanks to Blood Rain World’s guidance that the Black Lotus Sect intercepted him.

I’m finally in the capital. As Xu Jingming traveled, he looked at the southern city gate two to three kilometers away and heaved a sigh of relief.

The probability of a large-scale battle happening near the capital was extremely low. This was because the capital’s garrison might be attracted over at any moment.

“Good job, the two of you.” Xu Jingming looked at the two Lv. 8 experts beside him. “The mission is officially over.”

“Alright.” The two Lv. 8 experts smiled and nodded. It was only an interesting experience for them.

“After gamboling around with you a few times, I have some understanding of Blood Rain World’s capital.”

“I can try figuring it out.”

These two Lv. 8 experts wanted to give it a try. At the very least, Pang Ze and Xu Jingming’s operation went quite smoothly.

Xu Jingming nodded. “The capital is getting more and more chaotic. You can try fishing in troubled waters, but don’t be greedy!”

The two Lv. 8 experts nodded. “Goodbye.”

The two of them disappeared into thin air and went offline.

To the two Lv. 8 experts, this was only a simple cooperation with Xu Jingming and Pang Ze. The probability of them working together again in the future was very low.

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

…

After returning to the capital, he returned to his residence in the southern district and made an online transaction.

Soon, someone knocked on the door.

Xu Jingming opened the courtyard door and saw an amiable elder walking in with a thin man.

“Brother Jing.” The elder praised, “It has only been a few days, but you have another 9,800 gold. Impressive.”

“It wasn’t easy.” Xu Jingming closed the courtyard door and entered the house with the men. He then took out the tattered vest and suddenly tore it open.

Gold pieces fell and piled up.

The elder also took out a 20-tael piece of gold and placed it over. Following that, he nodded at the thin man beside him. “It’s exactly 10,000 gold.”

Xu Jingming watched from the side. He had seen 10,000-gold sacrifices several times and was very familiar with them.

Under the familiar glow, the thin man and the 10,000 gold disappeared. At the same time, cosmic dollars entered Xu Jingming’s personal account.

“1,000,000,000 cosmic dollars have been credited to your account. Your balance: 1,908,200,000 cosmic dollars. Sent from: Myriad Worlds Group.” Xu Jingming also received news of the change in his account balance.

Xu Jingming looked at the elder in surprise. “Sir, you overpaid?”

“I rounded it up for this payment,” the elder replied with a smile. “I look forward to doing more business with you in the future, Brother Jing.”

“Definitely.” Xu Jingming also felt that the other party was quite forthright.

“Alright, I’ll take my leave then.” The elder turned and left.

After sending the other party off, he felt much more relaxed.

The money was safe in the bag! After the online transaction, Blood Rain World couldn’t snatch his money away!

I wonder how much of the two bundles outside the city will be left, Xu Jingming thought to himself. He didn’t delay and immediately put on his raincoat and bamboo hat before carrying his spear holster and heading out of the city again.

Things might turn awry if he delayed any further. It was better to go out of the city early to find the bundles.
