Chapter 384: Chapter 384: The Young Master of the Thieves Sect

However, he still heard two gusts of wind attacking him, and he turned his head in terror, his pupils dilated to the limit in an instant.

All he saw was a battle ax and a sledgehammer flying towards him in competition, chasing each other; it was unclear which would strike first.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

Two dull sounds were heard as the tomb raider’s head was first split in two by the battle ax, and immediately after, the sledgehammer came crashing down, instantly tearing his body apart, spraying blood and spilling brain matter everywhere.

"Bang Bang Bang..."

Bits of flesh fell to the ground, giving off a thick stench of blood that was enough to make one want to vomit.

...

Meanwhile, Xiao Zheng had already successfully intercepted Du Erlin, standing with his hands behind his back and looking down upon him.

"Master Du, still trying to run?"

"I, Laozi will fight you with all I’ve got!"

"Zap!"

With a face as dark as the bottom of a pot and a fierce yet fearful shout, Du Erlin wiped the sweat off his forehead, drew his precious sword, and confronted him.

As a Sect Leader of the thieving sect with the largest influence in Huaxia, who could call the wind and summon the rain at will, when had he ever been in such dire straits?

After all, he was a first-class expert, the outcome of the battle was not yet certain!

With this thought, he gnashed his teeth and rushed towards Xiao Zheng, ready to fight to the death—it would be either his death or mine!

"Evil God, come meet your doom!"

"A thing that doesn’t know life from death!"

Xiao Zheng leaned his body swiftly like lightning, nimbly evading his sword edge, then quickly kicked out as though launching a cannonball.

"Bang!"

"Ouch!"

Du Erlin was terrified; damn it, he was no match for him at all, truly embarrassing.

He fell face-first into the mud and no longer had the courage to continue fighting; he trembled as he crawled to Xiao Zheng and spoke obsequiously, "Evil God, please spare me, there are countless treasures and a group of beauties in the Hailing Taoist Temple, all of which I offer to you."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Zheng was taken aback for a moment, understanding countless treasures, but what did he mean by a group of beauties?

However, these were not important; finding out the location of the thieving sect’s main hideout was the top priority.

With this thought, Xiao Zheng kicked out and demanded, "Where is the thieves’ lair? Just tell me, and Laozi will spare your life."

"This, I only know it’s on an unnamed island on the high seas, as for which high seas exactly, I really do not know."

Du Erlin nodded and bowed in fear, hastily replying.

Xiao Zheng nodded, it seemed that Catherine’s investigation was correct—it was in the southern open seas.

However, knowing this was still far from enough, this series of thefts did not seem like something Du Erlin and his gang could have pulled off.

"Master Du, someone else wants the Golden Bone, don’t they?"

"Yes, a few days ago a messenger from the main temple came and ordered us to obtain the Golden Bone at all costs, as a gift for the Sect Leader’s eightieth birthday," said Du Erlin, speaking as if he were a servile attendant, telling all he knew without reserve.

"Oh?"

Xiao Zheng calmly said, "So it seems that all this was the messenger’s own initiative? Not a direct order from your Sect Leader?"

"Exactly!"

Du Erlin smiled obsequiously: "And in private, the people from the main temple all refer to that messenger as the Young Master."

The Young Master?

The Young Master of the thieving sect?

Xiao Zheng suddenly understood—no wonder such a grand theft had been carried out, it was the Young Master of the thieving sect himself.

This made sense; a sect organization that had existed for over a thousand years must certainly be keeping up with the times.

Thus, it appeared that the Young Master of the thieving sect and his entourage were the main culprits behind the theft case, comparable to the Extreme Thief.

No, this is wrong!

Only Du Erlin was here, and there was no sign of the thief sect’s young master.

"Master Du, where is your young master now?"

"This, this..."

Du Erlin’s eyes filled with fear, he stuttered bitterly, his face flushed red, and he was at a loss for words.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Zheng could no longer restrain himself, lifted his foot, and kicked Du Erlin away. Like a kite with a broken string, Du Erlin crashed hard against a large tree and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Master Du, this is your last chance, speak or not?"

"This, I’ll tell, isn’t that enough?" Du Erlin felt his ribs had already broken from the stabbing pain and said with his head drenched in sweat: "Evil God, you’ve been lured away by a stratagem."

"What?" Xiao Zheng was completely baffled, a stratagem?

Du Erlin had a sheepish look on his face: "The young master had anticipated all of this. He first sent the experts from the main hall of the thief sect to spy on Yunlan Villa at night, but unfortunately, you killed them; then he sent people to snatch Chu Xiaoran’s bag, to ensnare you in an ambush, but you managed to escape with ease;

So, the young master resorted to this set of linked schemes, stealing from Qianqiu Group’s safe, and to perplex you further, he even stole from several other places. He knew you’d investigate and would surely come to Hailing Mountain Taoist Temple, using us to delay you while he led the experts from the main hall to Yunlan Villa."

God dammit.

Xiao Zheng was astounded. Truly, a master of strategies, terrifying!

In other words, even the situation where Du Erlin couldn’t detain the three Sky Net members was accounted for by this young master.

This motherfucker, could it be Zhuge Wu Hou reincarnated?

In an instant, Xiao Zheng’s gaze turned icy as steel, meaning that Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran were now in danger.

He stomped towards Du Erlin’s neck in a furious rage, exuding waves of murderous intent.

"Damn it, go to hell!"

"You promised you wouldn’t kill me... Ahhh"

The bones in Du Erlin’s neck snapped, his eyes filled with reluctance, his head tilted to one side, and he died with his eyes open.

Xiao Zheng, like an enraged lion, had his hair standing on end, filled with fury for his beloved.

"Thief sect’s young master, I swear I will grind you into mincemeat!"

With that, he picked up the phone with a grim expression and dialed TW-2’s number, quickly getting through.

"Hello, Boss Evil God, what are your orders?" said TW-2 in a slow voice.

Xiao Zheng ordered coldly, "Lead Ten Killings to Yunlan Villa right now to intercept the thief sect’s young master’s forces, execute immediately!"

"Yes, Boss!"

As the sound of the phone hanging up reached his ears, Xiao Zheng immediately turned and rushed toward the Taoist temple. He knew he was too far to quench the near thirst, but he hoped that Ten Killings would be able to strike with lethal force.

Since things had reached this point, anger was useless. He had to first deal with the situation at hand; trusting in the brotherhood of Ten Killings, they would surely do their utmost.

Just as Dragon Qie and Titan returned, the three of them entered the underground passage of the temple’s main hall and headed straight down to the bottom.

The scene that met their eyes left them stunned.

Beyond the countless antiques, jewels, and money, there were several dozen women imprisoned here, all of a flower-like age. It was evident that they were once beauties, but now they were tortured beyond recognition.

"Damn this thief sect, I swear, I will eradicate it."

Xiao Zheng roared, looking at the cowering girls with compassion. He closed his eyes, turned around, and gestured with a wave of his hand, "Dragon Qie, Titan, distribute some of this money to them and let them leave."

"Yes, Boss!"

Dragon Qie and Titan kicked open the barred door and said gently, "Ladies, you are free now. Take some money and leave quickly."

"Uh..."

The girls dared not move, looking simultaneously at an elderly woman with fearful eyes.

"Hmm?"

Titan was momentarily puzzled and said softly, "Why are you looking at her? Du Erlin is dead, you can leave now."

Upon hearing this, a flash of hatred swept across the old woman’s eyes. She moved as fast as lightning, hurling a cold, gleaming hidden weapon straight at Titan.
