The person who laughed loudly was a white-haired old man. He wore a black cloak and held a deer head cane in his hand. His back was slightly arched, as if he was a little hunchbacked. At first glance, there was nothing special about him. However, just by looking at the frightening Qing Gong he displayed when he entered the hall, both Wang Yan and Gao Li were extremely wary of him.
On the contrary, Black River was calm and at ease. He turned to look at Gongsun Sanniang and said, "Is this the expert you invited to deal with Kang Jianmin? Didn't you say that he would only arrive in two days? "
When Gongsun Sanniang invited everyone, she said that she would find an expert to deal with Kang Jianmin. She was only worried about the Four Great Vajras and the numerous Horse Bandits. This was something that everyone, including Wang Yan, knew. However, Gongsun Sanniang told everyone that the expert would arrive in two days.
Without waiting for Gongsun Sanniang to reply, the old man took a few slow steps forward and said, "This old man has arrived a long time ago. It's just that I felt that it would be difficult to succeed based on the previous situation, so I waited in the dark."
As he spoke, the old man cast his gaze towards Wang Yan. In a seemingly admiring yet somewhat fearful manner, he said, "This young friend's mind is extremely formidable, and his methods are also incomparably vicious. This old man had hidden in the shadows and investigated for a few days before finally finding some clues. I never imagined that this young friend would kill them all just based on his suspicions. The drive of a young man is truly not something an old fellow like me can compare to."
Wang Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this. Most of what he said before was to find an excuse to kill. He didn't think that by a stroke of luck, there was actually a Black Water thief spy among these Jianghu people with mixed identities. However, Wang Yan didn't feel the slightest bit happy. Instead, he deeply felt that the Black Water thief's influence was strong and pervasive. However, the problem was that these people were all players. They could be resurrected after death. If these people came back to life and spread the news, Kang Jianmin would have a much harder time killing them.
If Wang Yan could come to this conclusion, Gao Li and Xia He could naturally come to the same conclusion as well. Gao Li took two steps back and said to the old man, "No matter what, the current situation is already set. Only a few of us here are qualified to assassinate Kang Jianmin. Since that's the case, this matter cannot be delayed any longer."
"Little friend, are you saying that we should make our move tonight?"
The old man stared at Gao Li in surprise. He did not expect this person to be so decisive. Gao Li nodded and ignored the old man's reaction. He turned to look at Wang Yan and Xia He and said, "What do you think?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking!"
Wang Yan and Xia He replied almost in unison. This slight tacit understanding caused the two of them to involuntarily look at each other, and then they both revealed a smile.
As they spoke, they reached an agreement to make their move tonight. Their actions were seen by Ye Xiaofei, who was lying on the ground. He couldn't help but shout, "Crazy! You're all crazy! You want to kill Kang Jianmin with just a few people? You must be daydreaming …"
"Noisy!"
Wang Yan shouted. His feet tapped the ground and his entire body flew to Ye Xiaofei's side. With a shake of his long sword, the blade pierced into Ye Xiaofei's throat. As blood seeped out, Ye Xiaofei twitched a few times. With a heart full of unwillingness and resentment, he lay on the ground, motionless. From the beginning to the end, Wang Yan didn't even look at Ye Xiaofei. He killed him as easily as killing a chicken.
Seeing Ye Xiaofei being killed by Wang Yan, Mo Wenxin seemed to have a premonition of his own fate. However, he was unwilling to accept it. He said to Wang Yan, "I'm willing to exchange ten taels of gold for my life. If it's not enough, I can …"
Although players could be resurrected, every time they died, they would drop an item. Their inner force cultivation method would drop by one level. Even the most powerful martial arts and lightness skills would drop by one level. If they were just ordinary people in the Jianghu who practiced low-level inner force cultivation methods and ordinary martial arts, these losses were nothing. After all, low-level cultivation methods were easy to practice, such as the Eight Trigrams Steps.
However, Mo Wenxin was from the Yuan He Sect. Although his sect's inheritance was not as good as Aojian Villa's, it wasn't too far off. It was like the Sword Origin Heart Sutra. If someone with a weak innate talent didn't have a large amount of experience points to increase his cultivation speed, it would take him more than a year to reach the next level of the cultivation method.
Mo Wenxin wanted to exchange his life, but Wang Yan didn't wait for him to finish speaking. He raised his sword and ended his life.
Seeing how decisive Wang Yan was, Xia He didn't think much of it. Gao Li, on the other hand, looked at Wang Yan with a gloomy expression. No one knew what he was thinking. The old man said, "Young friend, you are not moved by the benefits. You don't want to lose the greater good because of a small gain. Your temperament is really firm."
Listening to the old man's words, Wang Yan smiled bitterly in his heart. He wasn't someone with a firm temperament. Of course, he was tempted by twenty taels of gold. If it was any other time, he would definitely agree to it. However, when he checked his experience points, he realized that his experience points were still a little short. In addition, he didn't want this matter to complicate, so he killed Mo Wenxin.
As a result, there were only five people left in the field. As for the farmer woman in the village, she had already run away in fear when Wang Yan started his massacre. Everything had been settled, except for one thing.
"Brother Gao and Brother Xia have both increased the rewards. This time, I'm dealing with the head of the Four Great Guardian Deities, Wang Mo Cheng. There's no reason for me to only take fifty taels of gold, right?"
Wang Yan's words were reasonable. Gongsun Sanniang didn't find it strange. She took a few steps forward and stood in the middle of Wang Yan and the others. She took out a stack of gold paper and said, "As long as Young Hero Wang does his best, I, Gongsun Sanniang, am willing to give you five hundred taels of gold. As for Young Hero Gao and Young Hero Xia, I can also give you the three hundred taels of gold."
As she spoke, Gongsun Sanniang divided the gold paper into three stacks and handed them to Wang Yan and the others. She said, "This is the Cloud Heaven City's Baotong Bank's banknote number. You can exchange it at any Northern city's Baotong Bank. However, it must be stamped with my Gongsun family's seal. Otherwise, it'll be useless even if I go there personally."
Gongsun Sanniang obviously didn't want to be trampled on. As she spoke, she walked lightly to the old man's side. The two of them looked at each other and didn't say anything. It was obvious that they had reached a tacit understanding.
Gao Li and Xia He didn't want such a change to happen, but both of them were from the north. They could still recognize the Baotong Bank's banknote number. Both of their gazes flickered before Gao Li finally said, "If the deed is done, how do I get you to stamp this banknote number with your seal?"
"I've already entrusted this matter to Uncle Kang Jianmin. After all of you leave, I'll depart for Cloud Heaven City. If the deed is done, you can bring Kang Jianmin's head to Cloud Heaven City's Fortune Inn to look for me. By then, I'll only recognize the head and nothing else. Even if one of the three young heroes comes with all the banknotes, I'll stamp them all with my seal as well."
Gongsun Sanniang finally bared her fangs. This woman was obviously a ruthless person. One could tell just by looking at how she and Ye Xiaofei had become sworn sisters and how she had not asked a single thing about Ye Xiaofei being killed by Wang Yan from the beginning to the end. Although she had asked these people to seek revenge for her, she had not been personally involved from the beginning to the end. In addition, Wang Yan and the others had been stirring up the situation to raise their value. It was obvious that this woman hated Wang Yan and the other two. Her words were a blatant attempt to sow discord.
Wang Yan's expression changed slightly. He knew that once he succeeded in his mission, it would be the time for everyone to turn against him. The variables would increase greatly. Even the seemingly forthright Xia He could stab them in the back. Wang Yan immediately thought of a countermeasure, but before he could come up with anything, Gao Li and Xia He had already made up their minds.
