Novel East
Chapter 87.2
At this moment, the advancing elders of the Money Gang suddenly stopped as if by some unspoken agreement and raised their heads, their eyes filled with horror.
Everyone, be careful!!!
However, the warning came too late.
Thousands of Sword Qi fell like rain, incredibly dense!
Those experts below the Innate level couldnt withstand a single move and were reduced to ash and smoke.
The three Innate experts, although powerful, could withstand a few strands of Sword Qi, but not thousands. They were soon pierced through by the Sword Qi, riddled with countless holes.
However, this situation was still manageable because they were left with a sliver of life.
They collapsed in pools of blood, unconscious.
After dealing with this group of people, Lin Beifan called over a group of soldiers: Immediately go to the XX location. Theres a gang of about a hundred villains there, though they are already dead! But there are three people still alive, bring them back!
Yes, Your Majesty!
After one night, the three elders of the Money Gang were brought back.
Bai Zhu revealed himself and said in surprise, I can sense the presence of Innate energy on them. They are
Lin Beifan smiled and said, They are the elders of the Money Gang, the ones who intended to cause trouble in Great Xia. But now, they are barely clinging to life, haha!
Bai Zhu moved closer for a look and fell silent for a moment. I can feel a terrifying Sword Qi on them. Was it your friend who did this?
Lin Beifan nodded and said with a smile, With these three hostages, I can make a fortune again!
Make a fortune? Bai Zhu was somewhat confused.
Lin Beifan rubbed his hands together with a smile and said, I hear the Money Gang is quite wealthy; I want them to spend a little bit of money !
Bai Zhu was shocked. Was this extortion?
Extorting the Money Gang?
At that moment, Lin Beifan waved his hand and ordered, Come, watch over them. Make sure they dont die!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, the leader of the Money Gang felt extremely uneasy.
Ever since Elder Baihu and the others left, this feeling had emerged, disrupting his sleep and even his ability to remain calm and focused during his cultivation.
The intuition of an Innate master is often very accurate.
He had a feeling that something might have happened to Elder Baihu and the others, but his reason told him it was impossible.
After all, he had dispatched three Innates and a hundred skilled members of the Baihu Hall. Such a force could potentially overturn a small kingdom and could even strut around in a great kingdom.
Great Xia, a kingdom that had only recently advanced to greatness, could not possibly pose a threat to them, no matter how strong it was.
However, even if one were to change the universe, Murphys Law is still in play. (TLN: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.)
At that moment, someone rushed in hurriedly.
Boss, something terrible has happened!
The leader of the Money Gang felt an increasingly strong sense of foreboding, but still asked calmly, What happened? Speak slowly!
The man was very anxious as he spoke, Boss Boss, weve just received news that all our brothers from Baihu Hall have been slaughtered by Great Xia, and Elder Baihu along with two other elders have been captured by the Great Xia Kingdom! Now, the Great Xia Kingdom is extorting us, demanding a ransom of one million taels of silver within ten days, or else they will kill the three elders!
The leader of the Money Gang was shocked, What? Is this true?
Boss, how dare I deceive you? This news has already spread throughout the rivers and lakes! the man said with a wry smile.
I dont believe it! The leader of the Money Gang stormed out.
Various rumors and gossip from the rivers and lakes quickly reached his ears.
Have you heard? Money Gang dispatched three elders and a hundred skilled fighters from Baihu Hall to take revenge on the Great Xia Kingdom, but they walked right into an ambush set by Great Xia. All the fighters from Baihu Hall were killed, and the three elders were captured!
Great Xia has also announced to the world that if Money Gang doesnt hand over a million taels within ten days, the heads of these three elders will roll!
A million taels, Great Xia really dares to ask for that much! Arent they afraid of completely being Money Gang life and death enemiy?
Whats there to be afraid of? Hasnt that foolish emperor been doing one stupid thing after another since he ascended the throne?
Thats true. Given his level of incompetence, nothing he does now is surprising! But its a disaster for Money Gang; they tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing their rice, sacrificing their own people in the process. Its so tragic that its funny!
As soon as the boss hears that someone dares to extort Money Gang, their reputation will be utterly ruined, haha!
The leader of the Money Gang grew angrier as he listened: The Great Xia Kingdom has gone too far!!!
Unable to bear it any longer, he returned with a belly full of rage.
At that moment, the other high-ranking members of the Money Gang hurried back, all deeply worried.
Boss, we heard that the brothers from Baihu Hall are done for, that Elder Baihu and the others have been captured by Great Xia?
The elders are all in their hands, and theyre extorting us for a million taels! If we dont pay up, theyll tear our people up! noπeπeaππ.πom
Boss, we cant let anything happen to them!
My fellow elders and brothers, please remain calm, I have only just learned of this matter myself, and it pains me deeply! At this point, we should consider how to rescue the three elders!
Everyone looked at each other, unsure: Leader, tell us what to do, we will follow your lead!
The leader of the Money Gang instructed: Elder Jin, I need you to immediately gather one million taels and go to Great Xia to negotiate a trade for our people!
Leader, do we really have to pay the ransom? We will be the laughingstock of others in the rivers and lakes!
Yes, leader, everyone is already mocking us. If we really pay up, well lose all our dignity!
Leader, isnt there any other way?
Everyone was extremely unwilling to accept the situation.
They were the Money Gang, after all!
They were always the ones taking money from others; when had they ever had to pay someone else?
I am well aware that this is a loss of face and that we will be laughed at by our peers in the rivers and lakes! But with the three elders in the enemys hands, we must tread carefully to avoid harming them, so we have no choice but to temporarily concede! However
The leader of the Money Gangs eyes emitted a cold light: Once we rescue our people, we will go on a killing spree to wash away this disgrace!
Boss, please entrust this matter to me. I will ensure that not a single one of them is left alive, and I will take that dog Emperors head to use as a chamber pot! A man with a square-shaped face stood up.
The leader of the Money Gang said with delight, Good! With a deputy leader of the Astral Qi level in charge, I can rest assured!
Leader, I would also like to participate in this matter!
I, too, wish to join this revenge. It would be satisfying to avenge them with my own hands!
Leader, you cant leave me out of this!
In a moment, there were actually five elders volunteering to fight.
Other powerful hall masters also eagerly volunteered to take action.
The leader of the Money Gang was extremely excited and declared with high spirits, With the brothers of our Money Gang united as one, what worry is there that we wont accomplish our great cause? Elder Jin Qian, take the money and redeem our people! Deputy leader, lead a team to infiltrate Great Xia. Once the people are rescued, well unleash a massacre and annihilate Great Xia in one fell swoop, washing away our disgrace!
Yes, leader! everyone responded.
And so, the Money Gang made their move.
Elder Jin Qian took one million taels for the ransom.
The vice-leader of the Money Gang led three Innate-level elders and 300 experts, stealthily infiltrating Great Xia.
Once the people were rescued, they would unleash a massacre.
We are currently recruiting. CN/KR/JP Translators/MTLers are welcome!
