CHAPTER 1035: CHAPTER 817: BLACK WIND SETS OUT! LIAO RUSHEN’S OVERSIGHT!

On the Jianghu Forum, the private chat section for the Eight Desolate Disciples of the Jin and Liao countries has started to see players emerge again.

"Brothers, the Grandmaster has issued a mission, is anyone ready for a big job?"

"I want to do it, but the snouts of those traitorous lackeys are too sharp. They have all our positions marked, and any slight move will expose us. If we’re thrown into prison, we’d be losing out big."

"Why worry? As long as the intelligence we provide ranks among the top three in battle achievement, we can make demands to the Grandmaster. We can fully demand the Grandmaster rescue the brothers thrown into prison, so even if we get caught, the Grandmaster will rescue us."

"Thinking about it that way seems fine, but if we really get caught, even if the Grandmaster rescues us, we still lose, and we’d bear the label of treason."

"We seek wealth in peril, we players don’t belong to any vassal state. Brother, with a monthly salary of a few hundred coins, what life are you playing for?"

"You’re right, let’s do it! Damn it, let’s do it!"

...

At this moment.

In the dense woods outside the Sky Zither Sect’s sect station.

Heavenly Monarch Xi Ying, the small old man Wu Ming, and three other Heavenly Human Realm masters from Jin and Liao countries are all holding their breath and quietly observing the movements within the Sky Zither Sect, waiting for the right moment to forcefully enter the sect to seize people.

Xi Ying remains in the scholar’s guise, his figure thin and spirit steady, his eyes shining with mysterious purple light flickering continuously. After watching for a while, he chuckled lightly, "Since the Black Wind Village Chief can no longer hold back and personally sets out, this happens to be our chance, showing he hasn’t discovered our intention. His complacency allows us to capture those two women."

Hehehe, I’m quite curious about what kind of beauties could make someone like the Black Wind Village Chief care, and what kind of taste they have."

The old man Wu Ming beside him chuckled and said, "Heavenly Monarch, don’t underestimate that Black Wind Village Chief. As I’ve known, he summoned Hawk Castle Master Liao Rushen two days ago."

Liao Rushen used to be famed along with All-Knowing Sect and Ghost Valley as a disciple of Tianji Sect, the most outstanding disciple among them, and in Yuan Country, he has the title of foresight as gods."

Yet, such a person is willing to recognize the Black Wind Village Chief as a godfather. I wonder if this person is foolish or smart? Can you say whether this person could foresee we’ll come here?"

Xi Ying frowned and squinted, saying, "Do you mean, Island Master, that there’s an ambush in the Sky Zither Sect?"

If it were someone else, Xi Ying naturally wouldn’t take it seriously, assuming it to be alarmist.

But this Wu Ming before him, seemingly a gentle and honest old man with white hair and beard, even emanating an elegant scholarly aura.

But those who know his prowess are aware that this person is indeed wise yet appears foolish, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, demanding both exquisite meals and having studied heavenly phenomena extensively, a rare genius whose martial arts and knowledge are profound and unfathomable.

The island he nurtured is not only filled with talents but rumored to have links with the most secretive organization in Martial World—Invisible People Organization.

The method of invisibility involves many types, which are not necessarily Demon Art.

Foam sinking into the sea, a cup tipping into a tankard, equates to invisibility.

Because when others can no longer see it, nor find it, some individuals alike.

Once these people enter the human sea, they become like a sesame seed mixed into a pile of sesame seeds, making it immensely difficult for anyone to retrieve them, equating them to invisibility—this is the Invisible People Organization.

Thus, such an organization is terrifying due to the unknown, appearing mysterious, with vast Divine Skills, and its intelligence-gathering capability is equally unknown and mysterious, yet anyone hearing their intelligence is bound to choose to believe.

Xi Ying, at this moment, chooses to believe too.

Wu Ming looked up at the sky with a smile, "We rode rare thousand-mile horses traveling for three days to reach here, but the Black Wind Village Chief has Exotic Birds to aid him, if he wishes to stop us, he would definitely arrive faster, and now no Exotic Birds are seen in the sky."

A nearby Heavenly Person Strong carrying a large bow exclaimed, "Does that mean the Black Wind Village Chief hasn’t arrived?"

Wu Ming shook his head, "What I mean is, neither at the Black Wind Village Chief’s location nor at Dragon Gang’s sky can his Exotic Birds be seen, and it’s known that he has two Exotic Birds, Demon Hawk, and Divine Phoenix, yet neither is visible now."

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

No one questioned how the little old man before them could see the sky over Dragon Gang and where the Black Wind Village Chief is.

This is inherently a foolish question, only fools would ask, and they all consider themselves smart.

Xi Ying spoke solemnly, "Since the Island Master said these words, it seems the Island Master has some preparation, quickly speak your plan."

Wu Ming smiled, "We’ll leave now."

"Leave?"

Everyone was bewildered.

Wu Ming matter-of-factly said, "The foresightful Liao Rushen predicted we’d come, and we came as he wished. Now that we’ve arrived, he’s already won this round, he deserves to win. But next round, we need not be led by him; instead, we can lead him by the nose."

Xi Ying’s eyes gleamed with purple light, "You’re changing the target?"

Wu Ming nodded, turned, and decisively walked, "Taking the road to Yingui Sect from here takes at least two days, but taking the water route only takes one day. We must capture Wan Wan in half a day."

Xi Ying followed, "Why only half a day?"

Wu Ming laughed enigmatically, "Because Liao Rushen doesn’t need half a day to detect our intentions, yet even if he does, it still takes half a day for them riding Exotic Birds to arrive at Yingui Sect, so we only have half a day’s time."

A female Heavenly Person wielding Double Rings said, "But you said the water route also takes a day."

Wu Ming smiled, his lips curved, "That’s why I’ve had Wan Wan depart to the designated location to wait for us long ago. When we take the water route and reach there, it will only take half a day. We’ll pick up Wan Wan just when Liao Rushen arrives at Yingui Sect, finding I’ve taken Wan Wan when he’s already half a day behind us, he’ll never find us again."

Everyone followed suit, but suddenly felt a chill creeping over them.

They wanted to ask Wu Ming how he managed to get Wan Wan out to the designated place to wait for them, but this question wasn’t asked because they all considered themselves clever.

Yet at this moment, they felt chills despite this belief because they knew their cleverness was just petty while the little old man before them displayed true wisdom masked by foolishness, worthy of tripping up someone as smart as Lu Xiaofeng himself...
