"The four surrounding sects have also begun to mobilize. The first batch of manpower has arrived and has been chasing and intercepting Swallow's Hill for more than ten days. It's a pity that they haven't found anything yet."
"There are also people from the Black Water Sect and the Azure Sun Sect on their way. These two are sects with Celestial Luck Banners. Those two scoundrels won't have long to live."
"That's right. These two fellows will die a horrible death sooner or later!"
"You're right!"
"Too greedy, too extreme, too arrogant!"
"The last time I left, I didn't bring anything but a cart of Ice Silk. These two scoundrels actually took 90% of it as a toll. How could they be so ruthless?"
"That's still Ice Silk! I only have 20 pieces of Lower Grade Spiritual Jade in my pocket. When I pass by, I'm still stopped. They keep two pieces for me and take the rest as toll! They even snatched 20 pieces of Lower Grade Spiritual Jade. That's not Upper Grade or Middle Grade Spiritual Jade. Do they have to be so ruthless? "
"Utterly heartless!"
"They're inhumane!"
"God, open your eyes. Hurry up and take care of them!"
"Sigh, there's no other way. I have to start doing business again in the next few days. If I don't steal some, I won't be able to eat … If I don't have any money on me and quarrel with people in a restaurant, I'll be reduced to ashes with a lightning strike …"
"Me too. Sigh, why don't we think of a way together?"
"When those two scoundrels are caught, I'll definitely go over and spit on their corpses! That's too much! "
"That day won't be too far away."
…
The Jianghu people of Dongye City were almost in an uproar.
Almost every day, there would be people going out to the foot of Swallow's Hill to look for the two robbers, but every day, there would still be people robbed!
Even those who went out to take revenge on the two robbers … were still robbed!
This fact made the faces of those involved even more gloomy.
And the day of successful revenge that everyone had been looking forward to, and the day where they could happily whip their corpses, did not come.
Mostly, it was wave after wave of Jianghu experts rushing into Swallow's Hill, either to take revenge or to uphold justice on behalf of Heaven.
In the beginning, there were still some experts who were more reserved and proud of their status. They weren't willing to go out to avoid becoming a laughingstock.
Therefore, the people who were sent out at the beginning were all above the Supreme Master level, Venerable level one or two … But this group of people kept being killed and returned. It didn't seem like they were besieging bandits, but more like they were sending gifts — they were all robbed again. If it wasn't to send gifts, what could it be?!
Some of the unlucky ones even had their Space Rings taken away by the robbers. They returned in a sorry state, covered in cuts and bruises.
Therefore, the Venerables of the third and fourth level couldn't sit still anymore. They gathered together and left.
However, they were merely giving him another gift.
Moreover, this wave of people was even more miserable. Not only were they covered in cuts and bruises, but they also had internal and external injuries. They wouldn't be able to recover without recuperating for a period of time.
There were a few people from small clans who were robbed of their wealth and goods, so they decided to take revenge with their entire clan. In the end, they gave away almost all of their clan's wealth. They wanted to cry but had no tears.
It wasn't until half a month later when Saint level experts arrived that the situation improved slightly.
However, by the time the Saint level experts and the experts from the two Celestial Luck Banner sects arrived, hundreds of people had already been robbed!
The total number of stolen goods was relatively large, enough to tempt the hearts of many people!
Therefore, countless experts snuck into Swallow's Hill quietly, even agreeing on a secret code with each other.
There hadn't been such rampant bandits in the vicinity of Dongye City for thousands of years! This time, these two fellows must be killed!
To uphold justice on behalf of Heaven!
After upholding justice, wasn't it only natural to collect some labor fees?
Everyone shared the same thought, and they shared the same principle!
…
"Boss, aren't you going a little overboard? … "
Shi Wuchen was truly shaken and hesitant now.
Following Yun Yang all the way here, he truly felt how audacious this new boss of his was!
This was absolutely unscrupulous and arrogant!
As if his eyes were bloodshot, he snatched all kinds of resources back without a care. In just a short month, the two of them had filled up all the twenty or so spatial rings they had seized. In the end, they had no choice but to rob the spatial rings as well.
It was also because of this that they had plundered more than seven million low-grade spiritual jade pieces, one hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spiritual jade pieces, and a hundred pieces of upper-grade spiritual jade pieces. Three spatial rings were filled with all kinds of metallic meteorites.
Ice silk, sky silk, starry jade, all kinds of medicinal herbs, all kinds of clothes, all kinds of treasures of heaven and earth … they even got a box of Crimson Jade Ginseng.
However, the most valuable thing … was probably the ten-thousand-year-old snow ginseng obtained from the Qingyang Sect!
The harvest of this ten-thousand-year-old snow ginseng excited the two for a long time.
But after that, Shi Wuchen became more and more terrified, because he felt that his new boss was a madman who didn't care about anything at all!
He was completely and utterly immersed in the extreme pleasure of plundering like a madman.
He did not care about anything else.
"It's about time." Yun Yang pulled the mask on his face and said, "The experts should be gathering here by now."
"Boss, what do you mean?" Shi Wuchen was really afraid that Yun Yang would say, "Rob them all the same!"
That would really make him cry.
In the previous battles, with him, a Saint Level cultivator who had recovered to his peak, holding the line, and Yun Yang's cultivation base was strong enough, they had indeed been successful. But now, they would have to face experts of Saint Level or even higher — it was beyond his ability to handle!
"Let's avoid them first." Yun Yang said calmly, "Wuchen, since there's such a thing as robbing, there should be a corresponding place to dispose of stolen goods, right? We should dispose of the goods. "
Shi Wuchen did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Of course there are channels, but we're shipping such a large amount of goods, and the variety is so messy … not only is it difficult to ensure the safety of the channels, but it's also impossible to ensure that no one knows about it."
Yun Yang said in a low voice, "Why don't you tell us where to dispose of the goods first? We'll think about it later. "
"Black market!"
Black market? What a simple, direct, and violent name, it went straight to the point!
Yun Yang frowned. "Actually, we've been robbing so many things recently, I'm afraid we've long been targeted by people with ulterior motives. As long as we sell the goods, we'll definitely be seen through. Whether it's the black market or not is not the main point. "
Shi Wuchen nodded. "That's true."
"So what we need to think about now is, what's the fastest way to sell the goods? Of course, the priority is to not be suspected? "
Shi Wuchen frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "If we don't want to be discovered, we have to sell the goods quickly. It's inevitable that we'll lose sight of the other. Anyway, I can't think of anything."
"It's fine, it's fine. I'll think of something."
Yun Yang smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "Let's go to Dongye City's black market tonight and check it out."
Shi Wuchen's eyes lit up.
Now that all eyes were focused on the thousand-mile radius of Swallow's Hill, it was the best time for the two of them to slip away.
Even if the black market was paying attention, it was inevitable that the top forces would remain in Swallow's Hill for the time being.
Even if there were people guarding the base camp of the black market, they would not be very strong.
The two of them returned to their original appearances, put away their masks, and swaggered out. After removing their disguises and bone shrinking skills, they were no different from two ordinary people of the Jianghu.
"Who's there? Stop right there!"
The two of them had only walked a few feet when they heard a shout coming from the front.
"Swoosh!"
Yun Yang unsheathed his sword and hollered, "You two evil robbers, return our goods!"
His face was filled with grief and indignation. Shi Wuchen was so stunned that he almost believed him.
'Boss, what are you trying to do now?'
Just then, two people stepped out from the bushes opposite them, looking at Yun Yang and Shi Wuchen suspiciously. "Don't act rashly, both of you. May I ask which family you're from? Please don't misunderstand, we're here to catch the robbers as well. "
Yun Yang frowned and looked at the two suspiciously. After a while, he asked in a low voice, "Is this true? You're here to catch the robbers as well? "
"Of course! How can this be false? We're here to catch the robbers! "
Yun Yang slowly sheathed his sword, but his vigilance remained. "I see. I wonder if the two of you have found any traces of the two evil robbers? If there are any, please enlighten us. "
"There aren't any traces or clues," the two men replied. "We haven't found anything at all. It's as if the two evil robbers have vanished into thin air."
Yun Yang said hatefully, "You haven't found anything either? Both of us have been wandering around this three-hundred-mile radius for two days and we haven't found anything. Could it be that the two evil robbers have left? "
The two men laughed. "The two of you have underestimated them. Just today, the two of them committed another heist in the outskirts. How vicious."
"Damn it!" Yun Yang said angrily, "How dare these two rats be so brazen, so deranged, and so unscrupulous!"
"Don't lose hope, both of you. These two will be caught sooner or later." The two men laughed and said, "With such a grand formation, how could two rascals escape from this heavenly net and uphold justice?"
Yun Yang nodded. "Thank you for your encouragement, but we've been searching for three days and three nights here. We're really tired, so we plan to go back and rest before catching the robbers. We won't let these two evildoers go so easily!"
"Haha … alright … take care, both of you."
Yun Yang and Shi Wuchen brushed past the two men and left without a second thought.
The two men only shook their heads and smiled, not minding their departure at all. Instead, they waved goodbye. After a few steps, one of them asked curiously, "Didn't these two say that they've been wandering around here for two days? Why did they suddenly change to searching for three days and three nights after just a few sentences? What's the reason for this?"
The other man chuckled in disdain. "These two are talking nonsense. They're just trying to show how hard they've been working. From what I can see, they're just bragging to raise their social status … To think that the Black and White Twin Ghosts are unstoppable for thousands of miles. What's the point of these two people's cultivation base? They actually dared to go in and search shamelessly … I guess they've found a place to hide, hoping to take advantage of the situation …"
"These people who only know how to brag and overestimate themselves … I don't even care about them. Let them go … hmph. "
Yun Yang and Shi Wuchen's journey was smooth and unhindered. They had bumped into seven to eight groups of people, but no one suspected that these two were the infamous Black and White Twin Ghosts.
No one could have imagined that these two fellows, who had been walking around in front of them and spouting nonsense, were actually the legendary robbers who had committed all sorts of crimes.
Furthermore, in these few days, there was no need for the two of them to publicize their names. Their friends in the underworld had automatically given these two crazy fellows a myriad of nicknames.
The Black and White Twin Ghosts was the most common one. They were known for their clothes. There was also the Nine Feet High Sky – wherever they went, they would dig three feet into the ground and three feet into the ground. There was also the Swallow Plucking Feathers. The Swallow Plucking Feathers was already an extreme accusation that the person involved was too extreme and would not let go of even the slightest benefit. As for the Swallow Plucking Feathers … it meant that they would reach out for even the slightest bit of benefit. Come to think of it, even their lower class spiritual jade was taken away, how could it not be the Swallow Plucking Feathers?
However, the most famous and widely known nickname of these two people was the Raiders of All But God!
As the name suggested, it meant that other than God and these two people who would not be robbed, everyone else would be robbed!
…
'Aunt is still in the critical care period, unconscious. I took over cousin brother's shift for a day and a night yesterday, and he came to take over this morning. My cousin-in-law has also applied for leave, and second cousin brother who was out of town has rushed back as well, so I'm considered to be temporarily freed.
However, the situation is not optimistic. At the age of eighty-five, surgery is not an option, so conservative treatment is the only option. The overflowing blood clots and hydrocephalus can only wait for the body to absorb them slowly and then recover naturally. The only thing we can do now is to use medicine and fluid transfusion to assist.
I only hope that aunt is blessed by the heavens.
There are two chapters today, so I'll make the best use of my time at home to write to make up for it. Thank you for your understanding. '
