Chapter 75: Capturing the Blood Slave

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Capturing the Blood Slave

"These bastards are just like the government and bandits being one and the same."

"Just finding an excuse to ask for money. Even a bank wouldn’t demand money like this."

"They only dare to bully us, but when faced with those Noble Families, who among them dares to step forward?"

"To be honest, I truly wish the Red Eyebrow Army would slaughter their way in and massacre these damn Noble Families."

"Yeah, these governmental constables and Money Gang members are even more despicable than the Red Eyebrow Army."

The neighbors gossiped fiercely, everyone gritting their teeth in hatred.

The taxes collected earlier had already resulted in huge financial losses.

But now, the other party has found another excuse to collect money, it’s simply endless.

If this continues, even the wealthiest people won’t be able to withstand it.

Honestly, they are all thinking of defecting to the rebels now.

A government like this is better off being destroyed.

It’s fair to say, with what these governmental constables and Money Gang members are doing, public grievances are swelling.

It’s like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

"No rush. Once I become a Martial Arts Grandmaster, I’ll make these people pay."

Jiang Fan clenched his fists, also filled with anger.

But he isn’t impatient.

After all, if big trouble arises, he’d definitely need to leave Yunze City.

Even though his power in the Refining Organ Realm allows him to roam freely, it’s not particularly safe.

Only by becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster will he truly be qualified to roam the world.

He is exceedingly cautious, and won’t act carelessly unless he is completely sure.

Besides, it’s just money.

Merely external possessions.

If he wanted, he could retrieve the money at any time, so it’s not really an issue.

......

Late at night, the moonlight is sparse.

Yunze City, a street in the outer city.

Five figures are leaping across houses, like fleas.

Under the cover of night, they are traversing the outer city of Yunze City.

Leading them is Ge Lirong, a trusted subordinate of the Bat King Yang Qin, a Bone Forger Realm Martial Artist.

There’s even someone Jiang Fan knows very well.

It’s Peng Wei, the Strong Sinew Realm Martial Artist who once came to Osmanthus Village to collect the monthly salary.

Undoubtedly, the infiltration of Yunze City this time isn’t just about the Bat King Yang Qin.

His many trusted subordinates are with him, a full-fledged operation.

"Lord Ge, why are we risking so much to infiltrate Yunze City this time?"

"Though luck was on our side this time, we managed to take down Mu Da, a Martial Arts Grandmaster."

"But now we’re surrounded within Yunze City’s defenses."

"If the search continues, our whereabouts might be exposed."

"We could be killed then."

Peng Wei mentioned worriedly.

After all, they are in the enemy’s base. A moment’s carelessness could lead to being surrounded by the government, captured and executed.

Undoubtedly, now they face a situation of ten enemy encirclements, extremely perilous.

This is essentially risking their lives in exchange for Mu Da’s life.

For the Red Eyebrow Army, it’s a good trade.

But for these people, it’s not so great.

Because once they die, future glory and wealth slip away.

Even if the Red Eyebrow Army eventually conquers the world, it has nothing to do with them.

There’s simply no need to take such big risks.

More importantly, he’s well aware of his boss Yang Qin’s personality, who isn’t the kind to sacrifice himself for others, so there must be another purpose for risking so much to infiltrate Yunze City.

"I know your thoughts. You surely want to know the reason why the leader risked coming into Yunze City to assassinate Grandmaster Mu Da."

"Originally, this matter shouldn’t be disclosed to you."

"But since it’s been successful, revealing the true reason is no harm."

"Actually, the leader risked doing this for breakthrough, to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster."

Ge Lirong said in a solemn voice, directly revealing the Bat King Yang Qin’s objective.

"To become a Martial Arts Grandmaster?"

"Rumor has it that the leader cultivates the Bat Demon Technique, which requires consuming fresh blood."

"Only by doing so can the daily cultivation needs be met."

"And the more powerful a martial artist’s blood, the more beneficial it is to the leader."

"Previously, the leader was stuck at the bottleneck of the Refining Organ Realm, unable to break through."

"It’s said that the reason for not breaking through is lacking the Essence Blood of a Martial Arts Grandmaster."

"Meaning, the leader planned to assassinate Mu Da to acquire the Essence Blood from Mu Da?"

Someone’s eyes gleamed as they instantly grasped Yang Qin’s true motive.

After all, they are long-time trusted subordinates of Yang Qin, familiar with his situation.

So just a few words and they immediately understood what was happening.

"That’s right, you are indeed smart enough."

"Just from a few words, you comprehended the leader’s intentions."

"They say wealth is sought in danger."

"Grandmaster Mu Da severely injured and on the brink of death presents the best opportunity for the leader."

"After all, a typical Martial Arts Grandmaster won’t face such situations."

"And with living Grandmasters, the leader doesn’t dare cause trouble, unless he wants to die."

"Therefore, to break through to the Grandmaster realm, the leader chose to risk."

"For the leader, to succeed is to achieve greatness."

"Once successful, the leader can instantly become a Grandmaster."

"At that time, returning to the Red Eyebrow Army, he could stand against Chen Yaochuan."

"And we, as trusted subordinates of the leader, can naturally gain endless wealth and honor."

Ge Lirong smiled faintly.

He understood his companions’ worries, and to prevent them from succumbing to fear and surrendering to the government, he revealed some secrets of the leader.

This boosted his companions’ confidence, preventing any division.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, they felt immense joy.

They’re not afraid of danger, only afraid of having no reward for their efforts.

"The leader indeed sets an example for us."

"And genuinely allowed the leader to succeed. Not only did he eliminate Mu Da, but he also gained his Essence Blood."

"This makes the leader’s ascension to Grandmaster inevitable."

"Yeah, once the leader becomes a Grandmaster, he can certainly lead us to break out of Yunze City."

"Break out of nothing, he can stay in Yunze City and collaborate with the Red Eyebrow Army inside and out."

The crowd speculated joyfully.

Because once the Red Eyebrow Army births a second Grandmaster, their strength will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

As trusted subordinates of the Grandmaster, the benefits they receive are self-evident.

"However, the leader has suffered considerable injuries from the last battle, needing a large amount of Essence Blood for replenishment."

"So this time, we were sent to capture some Blood Slaves."

"To help the leader quickly recover from his injuries."

"Therefore, we must ensure this plan is foolproof."

Ge Lirong’s eyes shimmered with a cold light, a terrible murderous aura enveloping him.
