Chapter 292: Operation Ends (1)

Virtual world network, Pang Ze’s personal s.p.a.ce.

Pang Ze sat in the s.p.a.ceship’s hall and leisurely checked the information streaming in. Suddenly, a figure appeared from the void—it was Liu Hai.

“Senior Liu, did everything go smoothly?” Pang Ze smiled.

“The process of collecting the bounty was quite smooth.” Liu Hai smiled and said, “A total of 9,160 gold was handed over to Jingming. Jingming will be on tenterhooks for the rest of the night.”

Pang Ze nodded. “With Jingming’s Blood Rain Guard ident.i.ty and the help of the three hidden Lv. 8 experts, they should be able to hold onto the gold for the night. We can trade the gold tomorrow morning.”

“Must the trade be carried out during the day?” Liu Hai asked curiously.

“It’s because the banks in Blood Rain World are only open during the day. Those intermediaries don’t dare to carry a large amount of gold and silver with them all the time. They also deposit them in the bank and withdraw when needed,” Pang Ze said.

Liu Hai came to a realization.

Huh? Liu Hai tapped open a message, and a screenshot of a piece of beast hide with a detailed introduction appeared.

“This is the seventh treasure map. By gathering all nine treasure maps, one can find the treasures of the previous dynasty. All the top factions in Blood Rain World are frantically pursuing the treasure maps of the previous dynasty. The seventh treasure map is worth about 50,000 gold.” Pang Ze looked at the introduction and shuddered.

“Sh*t!” Pang Ze realized the gravity of the issue and immediately sent a message to Xu Jingming. “Jingming, that piece of beast hide is the seventh treasure map to the previous dynasty’s treasures. It’s worth about 50,000 gold! Quickly find a place to hide it. Carrying it with you will cause Blood Rain World to target you!”

…

Xu Jingming led the three Lv. 8 experts and slowed down after running for more than ten kilometers.

As he was traveling at high speeds at night, he would’ve been targeted by the patrolling Blood Rain Guards!

On the other hand, Xu Jingming and the others had normal bodies. Running at maximum speed consumed a lot of energy, so it was normal to tire out after running for a long time at such intensity.

Xu Jingming and the others also needed to reserve some strength to deal with accidents.

“Chase!”

“Chase after them!” Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of him, and afterimages quickly rushed in his direction.

Xu Jingming and the others were stunned.

From afar, hundreds of Blood Rain Guards could be seen chasing in this direction. They were either running on the streets or on the roofs.

“What should we do?” one of the Lv. 8 experts whispered.

“We can’t run. If we run, they’ll suspect us. We don’t have an advantage in speed.” Xu Jingming shook his head gently. “Pretend to be ordinary people. They probably have nothing to do with Cheng Yanran.”

The three Lv. 8 experts nodded. They were hired—they did whatever their employer said.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Figures pa.s.sed by their area.

Huh? A Blood Rain Guard spotted Xu Jingming and the others and saw his bundle. “Open the bundle, and let us inspect it!”

“They might be the accomplices of the criminals.” Several Blood Rain Guards immediately approached.

Xu Jingming was stunned. Open the bundle for inspection?

The bundle was filled with gold!

“Sirs, what’s going on? We don’t know anything,” Xu Jingming said. He also noticed that a large number of Blood Rain Guards were still in pursuit ahead of them.

“Hmph, we’ll know after the inspection. Hurry up!” Several Blood Rain Guards approached and glared at Xu Jingming and the others.

Only then did Xu Jingming helplessly lower his bundle. He even said, “We really don’t know what’s going on. Sirs…”

As Xu Jingming spoke, many Blood Rain Guards had already arrived in the distance.

“Run!” Xu Jingming shouted and immediately led the three Lv. 8 experts into the distance, as far away from the Blood Rain Guards as possible.

On the one hand, his spoils from Sword Dharmaraja, Cheng Yanran, and company—as well as the actual gold he had—amounted to more than 10,000 gold in total! If the Blood Rain Guard discovered it, he would be in grave trouble.

On the other hand, the items he had plundered were the personal belongings of Cheng Yanran and the others! If he was arrested, he would probably be quickly discovered… that he was related to Cheng Yanran’s death.

Therefore, he could only escape!

Why am I so unlucky? Why did I happen to encounter the Blood Rain Guards when they were pursuing another group of criminals? Am I being targeted by the world? Xu Jingming thought as he fled with the three Lv. 8 experts.

“Stop!”

“Capture them.” Several Blood Rain Guards behind him quickly chased after him, and some nearby auxiliary guards—who had been paying attention to the development—immediately released a bugle arrow.

Some auxiliary guards and Blood Rain Guards also rushed over.

…

“The changes in the heavenly secrets indicate an opportunity in the east.”

Three figures walked down the street—a blind old man, a woman in white, and a handsome and lascivious man leisurely walked side by side.

“Old Blind Man, don’t be mistaken,” the lascivious man said with a smile.

“You guys look upon the world with your eyes, but I do so with my heart. There are endless changes in the aura of the world. Only by following it can everything go smoothly.” The old blind man smiled and said, “Just listen to me. There will definitely be a huge opportunity tonight. If we obtain the huge opportunity, I’ll take half.”

“If there’s really an opportunity, giving you half is fine by me,” the woman in white said.

The three of them chatted as they walked. Suddenly, they encountered Xu Jingming and the others, who were fleeing.

…

Xu Jingming and the others weren’t afraid of the dozens of Blood Rain Guards and more than a hundred auxiliary guards chasing after them, but they weren’t willing to waste time with them! Once they fought, more Blood Rain Guards and auxiliary guards would rush over.

Huh? Xu Jingming looked at the three people who had suddenly appeared in front of him.
