Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 169 - 165: Annihilate the Mysterious Soldiers Sect

Chapter 169: Chapter 165: Annihilate the Mysterious Soldiers Sect

Zhang San returned to Xiongfeng Manor and immediately went to find Third Miss Gan.

Seeing Zhang San’s cheerful face, Third Miss Gan knew this kid must have gotten some benefits; otherwise, his expression wouldn’t be so gleeful.

"Reporting to Big Sister, everything went smoothly. However, the Heavenly Punishment Sect mentioned a very important account book left behind by Bai Yucheng, but they believe that it’s likely in the possession of the Dragon Serpent Gang."

Third Miss Gan glanced at Zhang San and asked, "Do you think it’s likely to be with the Dragon Serpent Gang?"

Zhang San carefully observed Third Miss Gan’s expression, then sighed.

"I was originally hoping to find it among the relics in Bai Yucheng’s place, but seeing your expression, it’s definitely not there."

Third Miss Gan laughed.

"You are quite astute. Previously, Principal Officer Yue and his team thoroughly examined all relics of Bai Yucheng, and within those relics, one couldn’t even find any clue related to the Dragon Serpent Gang. From this point of view, Bai Yucheng was very cautious. So, even if his account book really is with the Dragon Serpent Gang, it won’t be easy to investigate."

Zhang San nodded reluctantly, his face full of discomfort, while he pondered how he could infiltrate the Dragon Serpent Gang to find Bai Yucheng’s account book.

What can be confirmed now is that with Bai Yucheng’s methods and character, he definitely wouldn’t let others know about the account book. So if anyone knew, it would be tough to get their hands on it. Therefore, it should still be with the Dragon Serpent Gang.

"The matter of the account book is not the most urgent right now. After all, the account book is inanimate; if someone had really discovered it, the news would have spread long ago. The Dragon Serpent Gang has indeed made a lot of dirty money over the years and harmed quite a few people. Many eyes are watching the gang now. At the moment, there is an even more important mission for you."

Zhang San looked at Third Miss Gan unwillingly, not voicing his refusal but simply looking at her, as if to say "I’m all eyes."

"Don’t worry, there’s a reward, and it’s a generous one."

Hearing this, Zhang San perked up.

After all, since cultivating the Gold Liquid Returning Core, although he had only managed to refine thirteen acupoints, the consumption of resources was astonishing!

Zhang San estimated that with his current assets, for the body’s three hundred and sixty acupoints, it would be good if he could completely refine even one-sixth of them.

So, it was indeed necessary to strive for money.

"Big Sister, what’s the mission? Is it dangerous?"

Third Miss Gan smiled gently, with a charming air, "Would I assign you a dangerous mission? It’s just recently that the martial artists on Chuan-Yu Road have been causing quite a bit of trouble. So, you just need to choose some people and go suppress the Mysterious Soldiers Sect."

If Zhang San hadn’t already vomited blood outside, he would really want to spit blood right here at Third Miss Gan.

"Big Sister, are you listening to what you’re saying? Suppress the Mysterious Soldiers Sect? The Sect Leader of the Mysterious Soldiers Sect should be at the Purple Mansion Realm, just like the Sect Master of the Pure Stream Sword Sect, right? I’m only at the True Core Realm, Five Emperors’ Proper Position, and you want me to suppress the Mysterious Soldiers Sect? I’m afraid as soon as I go there, I’ll be thrown into their Forging Platform to burn as scrap wood."

Third Miss Gan scoffed, whispered softly, "The Mysterious Soldiers Sect is not like other sects. Their Sect Leader is only of the Spiritual Platform Realm."

"Besides, you won’t be going alone. You’re allowed to bring people, and whom you manage to bring will depend on your ability."

Seeing Third Miss Gan’s determined expression, Zhang San knew he couldn’t avoid this one.

However, Zhang San suddenly thought of something.

The times when Third Miss Gan asked him to deal with those Military Chiefs on Chuan-Yu Road, was it really because she needed to put them in their place?

Or was she helping him?

Even though Zhang San found it unbelievable, he couldn’t help but feel that Third Miss Gan was paving the way for him to become the Officer of Chuan-Yu Road in the future.

Zhang San shook his head to avoid daydreaming in broad daylight.

After leaving Third Miss Gan, Zhang San immediately called over Wang Ziteng and Big Head Wang.

Although calling Big Head Wang was not very useful, he was after all a sworn brother, and they needed to discuss things together when something came up.

"Brother San called you guys over because there’s a big matter to handle," he said.

Wang Ziteng asked curiously, "Brother San, what big matter do we need to handle?"

Big Head Wang’s eyes, too, filled with a simple curiosity.

"Just now, Big Sister, acting as Officer Third Miss Gan, gave me a mission to suppress the Mysterious Soldiers Sect. What do you guys think I should do?"

Wang Ziteng’s mouth gaped so wide he could have stuffed three fried dough sticks in it at the same time.

"Brother San, when did you offend the Acting Officer? How come I didn’t know about it?"

Big Head Wang, on the other hand, was completely clueless and asked, "Sixth, isn’t this an opportunity to distinguish ourselves? Why do you say Brother San offended Big Sister? Isn’t this an easily accomplishable mission?"

At these words, both Zhang San and Wang Ziteng’s faces simultaneously revealed a ’are you stupid’ expression.

Then, their expressions changed to one of resigned realization, remembering that he was indeed a fool.

Seeing that his brothers didn’t quite understand, Big Head Wang explained softly, "First off, the Mysterious Soldiers Sect is actually half combat and half forging; over the years, they’ve had many disputes with our Town Martial Office at the Red Dragon Mountain stronghold. If we speak to Military Chief Ouyang, he would surely send people to help, right?"

"Secondly, previously the Mysterious Soldiers Sect had made moves against our Town Martial Office in the Ghost Domain. Brother San should have some recordings saved by Feng Chengying. With this justification, when we take action, how many martial artists will come to kick the Mysterious Soldiers Sect when they’re down?"

"And lastly, the most important point, the Sect Leader of the Mysterious Soldiers Sect is at the Spiritual Platform Realm. Even if he can boost his combat power with top-tier Mysterious Weapons, at the end of the day, he’s still just at the Spiritual Platform Realm. If he was really capable of fighting above his level, he would have broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm long ago. So, Brother San, just invite a few more Military Chiefs to help us, and even if we don’t kill him in our constant attacks, to cripple him would suffice. Afterwards? With the Chuan-Yu Road being so chaotic now, I’m afraid he won’t be able to protect himself."

At that moment, Zhang San and Wang Ziteng looked at each other, dumbfounded.

Could this really have been thought up by Big Head Wang?

"Fifth, are you possessed by a ghost?"

"No! It must be a higher power, possession can’t make someone this smart! Definitely something higher!"

Zhang San and Wang Ziteng fiddled with Big Head Wang’s face for a good while, finally confirming that he was indeed Big Head Wang and not transformed from some other ghost or elf.

Still, they couldn’t quite grasp how this guy had suddenly become so smart.

Could Sworn Brotherhood really come with a BUFF boost?

But why was it intelligence, all boosting just you?

Zhang San pondered over Big Head Wang’s words for a while, further refining his ideas in his mind.

"I know what to do about this matter," he stated.

Saying so, Zhang San patted Wang Ziteng on the shoulder and whispered, "Sixth, go and spread the word on the Town Martial Office’s side, make sure all strongholds get the message. The Mysterious Soldiers Sect ambushed our Town Martial Office’s martial artists, and now that the internal investigation into the ambush is complete and evidence is solid, we will soon take action to eliminate the Mysterious Soldiers Sect!"

"Ah!?" Wang Ziteng was even more shocked than when he found out Big Head Wang had become smart.

"Brother San, our mission is suppression, not extermination," he objected.

"I told you to spread the word, not that we’re actually doing it!"

Wang Ziteng nodded and turned to find someone.

Meanwhile, Zhang San thought carefully, stroking his chin and deliberating deeply.

"Exterminating the Mysterious Soldiers Sect might actually be doable!"
