1330 Fear!
After the purple-robed young man finished his sentence, his figure disappeared. He seemed to have left the area.
After a few minutes, the purple-robed young man appeared on top of a lamppost again. He looked around. There was no one there. He shook his head in confusion. "Was it my imagination?"
He came back because he felt that someone was spying on them. However, when he looked carefully, he couldn't find anything. Even that feeling disappeared. It was as if it was his imagination.
However, at his level, he wouldn't ignore his instincts. Hence, after he left, he circled around the area again. He wanted to see if someone was really hiding here.
Unfortunately, he came back empty-handed again. The truth told him that this was indeed his misconception.
"Forget it." The purple-robed young man sighed. So what if someone was spying on them? At most, they would know that Lord Zhen and his faction had noticed what was happening here. It wouldn't affect them.
The purple-robed young man disappeared again. This time, he really left. As a member of the 13 Lords of the Lawless Lands, he didn't need to be so careful.
A few minutes later, a black figure appeared under one of the lampposts.
He raised his head slightly, revealing a face with half a silver mask. "The people from the Lawless Lands are really powerful. Even though I used the aura concealment technique Rabbit taught me, they still noticed me."
"Lord Zhen?" Li Lanfeng smiled. "He might be a good partner."
Li Lanfeng's figure slowly disappeared as he left the area.
At this moment, news of Lord Gen's defeat and Ji Ming's inability to take him down spread to the other 12 Lords as well as the leaders of the other factions.
"The Rainbow Raiders. Looks like they're serious this time." If they still thought that the Rainbow Raiders were just passing by, they wouldn't be fit to stay in the Lawless Lands.
"The Rainbow Raiders' path in the Lawless Lands won't be easy if they offend Lord Gen right away."
"However, there are many conflicts between the 13 Lords. Even if Lord Gen had a grudge with them, the other lords might not do the same. It's hard to say what will happen now."
"That depends on the attitude of the other twelve lords. If most of them choose to expel us, then even if Rainbow Raiders is one of the top adventurers in the world, they won't be able to do anything here."
"We should be able to find out tomorrow. Lord Gen won't take this lying down."
"It'll be fun if the other lords help the Rainbow Raiders."
"Do you think Lord Zhen will make a move? He and Lord Gen are old enemies. "
"It depends on the other lords too. If they stand on Lord Gen's side, Lord Zhen won't make a move."
"So, we still can't be sure …"
"Before the 13 Lords reveal their final stance, we must wait and see! I don't want to be implicated and give the 13 Lords an excuse to deal with us. "
On the surface, the 13 Lords were the strongest in the Lawless Lands. However, there were still countless powerful factions that wanted to become the 14th Lord. In order to prevent their power from weakening, the 13 Lords were secretly wary of these factions. A few days ago, Lord Zhen and Lord Gen teamed up to deal with a new faction that suddenly appeared. The new faction was developing rapidly and had many capable people under it. Many factions believed that if they continued to develop at this rate, they would definitely become a new lord.
However, at that moment, Lord Zhen and Lord Gen, who didn't get along well with the new faction, suddenly teamed up and uprooted the new faction with lightning speed. They quickly divided the new faction's territory.
Of course, it wasn't enough to destroy a faction that wasn't much weaker than them with just the two of them. There must have been a few other lords involved. These were all secrets that outsiders didn't know about.
However, no matter what, Lord Zhen and Lord Gen's ruthless methods shocked the other factions. They, who had been constantly making moves, temporarily stopped and bided their time. They were afraid that they would become the next target to be devoured.
After the patrolling team returned to their campsite, they closed their doors and slept until dawn. Of course, no one knew how many of them actually slept.
Early in the morning, their captain woke them up and told them to continue patrolling.
Perhaps because he was thinking about something, the captain brought them to the 7th Bugle Call unknowingly.
At first, he thought that Lord Gen's men would take over this place. However, he didn't expect that it was still the 7th Bugle Call's men cleaning up.
Although the place was cleaned up, the captain still saw the bloodstains on the plaza that hadn't been cleaned up.
Instinctively, the captain brought his men to the nearest crew member of the 7th Bugle Call.
"Brother, what's going on? Why are you cleaning up the plaza so early in the morning? "The captain pretended that he didn't know anything. He asked curiously as he passed a cigarette over.
Yes, cigarettes were considered a luxury item here. In the Lawless Lands, high-grade tobacco couldn't be grown. They could only smoke tobacco that was extremely pure. They had to be smuggled in from the outside. Usually, only people with high status could have cigarettes. Normal people could only smoke low-quality hookah to satisfy their cravings. Even so, it was still very expensive.
"It's nothing. I don't know where these thieves came from. They actually dared to think of stealing from my family. Aren't they looking for death?" The crew member's eyes lit up when he saw the cigarette. He took it with a smile on his face as he replied to his captain.
The captain took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for the crew member. He continued asking, "Look at the situation here. There are quite a lot of thieves."
The crew member took a deep breath and had an intoxicated expression on his face. After satisfying his craving, he replied, "Yeah, there are about a hundred of them."
"A hundred? That's a lot. How many people do you need to send out?" The captain was shocked. He seemed to be frightened by the number.
"My Fifth Squad can take care of these thieves alone …" The crew member had a look of disdain on his face.
The captain chatted with the crew member for a while more before saying goodbye and leaving.
After walking out of the 7th Bugle Call's range, the captain heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and warned his men, "Stay away from the 7th Bugle Call in the future."
"Why? Captain, "one of his men asked curiously. While the captain was chatting with the crew member, they were also chatting with the other crew members. They felt that they were quite friendly. Everyone had a good impression of the people from the 7th Bugle Call.
"They killed Lord Gen's people but they didn't seem to care. They are either arrogant and ignorant or they are very confident. Do you think the people from the 7th Bugle Call are arrogant and ignorant? "the captain asked.
Everyone shook their heads. The crew members they interacted with didn't seem to be frogs in a well. They didn't seem to be arrogant.
"The 7th Bugle Call isn't simple. However, Lord Gen isn't simple either. Small fries like us don't even have the right to watch his battle. We should stay as far away from him as possible. If not, we won't even know how we died. "The captain took a deep breath and turned around to look at the 7th Bugle Call. There was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Last night, he was afraid of Lord Gen. This morning, he was afraid of the 7th Bugle Call.
