I'm the only player

Chapter 400 [Palpitations]

In Guangde Hall, all the leaders and disciples were waiting for their leader to return. Before he left, the leader had told everyone to be present and wait for him to return from Anrenfang.

A group of people were feeling anxious and restless. After all, when people are waiting aimlessly, they will experience meaningless anxiety and existential floating.

"Da da da~~~"

The sound of horse hooves was heard at the door. Although it was far away from the lobby, everyone present had practiced martial arts for many years, so having sharp ears and eyes was a basic requirement.

"Wow!"

A large group of people hurried out of the lobby, rushing to greet their leader.

"Set out early this evening to suppress the bandits."

He Sheng got off the carriage and spoke to them directly without any unnecessary words.

"I am not a person who insists on doing things on his own. If any of you don't want to go, you can leave immediately."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The hall master's meaning is very clear. Leave tonight and don't come tomorrow. If you don't come at the critical moment, you will just eat and wait for death every day. Is it a waste of time to support you?
The Giant Whale Sect spends so much money every month to support them, isn't it just hoping that they can do their best when something happens?

However, there were still some disciples who quietly withdrew from the crowd.

Suppressing bandits will result in deaths!
Looking back at the history of the Giant Whale Sect, every time the entire sect gathered its strength, or even when a large sect came out in full force, there were always heavy casualties, with many people buried in the wilderness.

After a while, there were only about fifty people left out of the more than 150 members.

One-third of them were willing to leave the city and fight to the death, which was much better than someone had expected.

"Row."

The man surnamed He glanced at the retreating members and said to the third leader.

"Go get the roster of Guangde Hall and cross them out one by one." From then on, the more than one hundred people who had withdrawn were no longer members of the Giant Whale Sect.

Afterwards, He Sheng led the remaining disciples back to the lobby.

He sat in the main seat and the chief immediately served him a cup of hot tea.

"Xian."

"exist."

The former second in command, now the big boss, his real name is Xi An.

"Have you finished the things I told you to do a few days ago?"

"Replying to the Hall Master, it has naturally been done."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi An took out a small and exquisite wooden box from his arms. The box was about half the size of an adult's palm and was made of a relatively rare wood.

He reached out to take it and opened it, only to see three aqua blue short needles with spiral patterns lying inside the box.

"We found a lot of skilled craftsmen in Sanshui City. The total cost, including materials and forging costs, was 8,726 taels."

"good."

He closed the box and put it in his arms.

The thing in the box is a killer, and it was the only reliable news provided by the daily news system a few days ago.

[Daily Intelligence ③ (Green): Use the blue spot stone in the water, mix it with dozens of materials such as iron essence, blue fish blood, etc., and forge it in a fierce fire with thousands of hammers without interruption, and you can get a water needle.

The water needle is as thin as a cow's hair and six millimeters long. It can be held in the mouth to nourish the water-attributed spiritual energy and assist in the performance of the Water Arrow Technique. However, the power is halved. 】

Three small water needles cost a total of more than 8,000 taels of silver, which shows how expensive the stuff of cultivators is. How could ordinary people afford such a high price?

Not only that, some of the public funds of the hall were also misappropriated.

Of course, he will make up the difference once the Ninth Elder sells the spices.

Next, a group of people stayed in the lobby and continued to remain silent.

If the hall master doesn't speak, who dares to show their teeth?

The big boss was a lackey, as loyal as a eunuch in the palace. The remaining two bosses had no say.

Time passed by little by little until it was midnight.

Daily message system, instantly push three messages.

He Sheng was shocked after just a glance.

All green!

Sometimes, when all the messages are of the highest level known so far, it is not a good thing, because it proves that something big is about to happen, so the daily message system can collect more advanced information push.

"call--"

Take a deep breath and read patiently.

[Daily Intelligence ① (Green), The leader of the Giant Whale Sect has found out that the people behind them are actually from the Holy Church. The specific situation is unknown, but we only know that the reason why the White Wave Sect came to Sanshui City was because they lost the battle and had to leave.]

"???"

Gan!
Aren’t the Holy Church the group of practitioners who “ran away from home” in the Central Region? What a good guy, he actually caught up with us and was ready to attack the Bailang Sect again.

"Something is wrong."

Since it was the Holy Church that created more than a hundred gangs of bandits, who can be sure that there are no cultivators in the bandit den?

If you are not careful, the whole thing will be ruined.

I made up my mind that if things were impossible, I would run away first. If that didn't work, I could just go to another city. There was a bright city eight hundred miles away, and going to Baihualou to be a killer to support myself seemed like a good way to go.

A master who has reached the great perfection level in the inner training realm can make a living anywhere.

As for the real world, the Giant Whale Sect still exists and stands firm?
Haha, who knows how many people died in this incident?

He was not sure that the person who died would not be him.

[Daily Intelligence② (green), among the 126 gangs of bandits, there are ten masters who have just entered the Qi training realm. They were all brought up by the Holy Church using elixirs.

In fact, the real threat is not the Qi training masters, but the real Qi training practitioners who infiltrated the bandits and disguised themselves as minions. Even the leaders of each gang of bandits don't know who among their subordinates are practitioners. 】

"."

No, what are you going to do?

Are you playing Werewolf with me here?
It's ok to play, at least give him a prophet, hunter, witch, etc. He leads a bunch of civilians, what's the use, can he turn the world upside down?

[Daily Intelligence ③ (Green), in the Punishment Hall team led by the Master of the Giant Whale Sect, there are five first-level practitioners from the White Wave Sect. They are admittedly rookies, but they have mastered considerable skills.]

If I could get the position of hall master and curry favor with him, would it be necessary for me to go to such lengths and embezzle public funds to make water injections?
Also, you informed too late!

"Three werewolves sneaked in during the night, and the villagers didn't even know about it. What the hell."

No one knows which group among the more than one hundred bandit gangs has cultivators, and all five hunters are with the hall master.

"One in forty-two chance. I can't be that unlucky, right?"

It's not impossible!
According to Murphy's Law: If something has the potential to go wrong, it will happen, no matter how small the possibility is. In addition, I am playing a dungeon, and given the nature of dungeons, it is basically a foregone conclusion that I will run into a cultivator.

“Nothing is as simple as it seems.”

“Everything takes longer than you expect.”

“What can go wrong will go wrong.”

“The more you worry about something happening, the more likely it is to happen.”

He Sheng silently recited the classic statement of arrival, then raised his finger and pointed at Xi An.

"From now on, you are the head of our Guangde Hall. And I am just a small follower."

"Ah? I'm the sect leader!"

Xi An was confused, feeling like a pie in the sky. He was promoted very quickly, from the second in command to the first in command a few days ago, and now from the first in command to the boss.

However, the dream didn't last long, and he immediately reacted.

That’s not right. We went out of the city to suppress bandits.

Who doesn't know the principle of capturing the leader first and shooting the horse first? As the head of Guangde Hall, he must bear the most fierce attacks from the bandits.

With his strength of the seventh black blood in the Ao Lian Realm, he must have died miserably. This afternoon, the whole hall was rumored that the big boss of the main hall, a young master who had reached the great perfection of the Ao Lian Realm, was carried back by someone.

"Tang"

Before he could utter the word "main", He Sheng interrupted him.

"Now you are the master!"

"."

Xi An wanted to strangle the former hall master, the current minor official of the Giant Whale Sect. Unfortunately, his strength did not allow it, so he could only swallow his anger and look at the second leader who had been promoted a few days ago with a smile.

"Otherwise, you, second brother."

"Master Xi, please don't talk nonsense."

The second leader immediately shook his head, looking like he had met the god of plague.

The third brother didn't wait for Xi'an to change his target. He stepped back and merged directly into the group of more than 50 people from the sect.

Damn, sit tight.

"I declare that we will go out of the city to suppress the bandits."

Xi An said weakly, and a group of people hurriedly packed up their weapons and poured out of the hall in an orderly manner, fearing that the current puppet hall master would find a random unlucky person and label him as the "hall master".

The group left from the north gate, just as the newly promoted "hall master" looked confused, not knowing what to do next.

"Master, these are the mission objectives and maps issued by the headquarters." He Sheng handed a piece of paper to Xi An who was riding a horse. The paper detailed the location and number of bandit dens that they needed to clear out.

And the sect master's exclusive seal, indicating that this is a task issued by the sect master himself, to prevent someone from impersonating the sect master and conveying false information.

"Fifteen?"

Xi An, who had just ascended to the throne of the hall master, almost popped his eyes out. If destroying one bandit den is a life-or-death struggle, then destroying fifteen bandit dens is basically a life-or-death struggle. You can burn some paper for yourself at the crossroads in advance.

If he had enough time, he would even go to a coffin shop to order a high-quality coffin for himself. When a person dies, he has nothing, and the "house" where he lies all day and all night must not be searched.

"There aren't that many. These are the four places we need to destroy."

Don't ask why he had to suppress four places alone when there were obviously 12 teams in 15 bandit dens? He was the strongest and even the Ninth Elder couldn't beat him.

Those who can do more work.

He couldn't complain, he could only pray that the other eleven teams wouldn't fail. Otherwise, it would still be him, He, who would have to put out the fire.

More than fifty people galloped, and it was no problem for them to travel a hundred miles in an hour. It was because the Giant Whale Sect was rich and powerful that they could give each of the sect members who were given a task a horse, which was much better than the ordinary horses on the market.

Two hours later, they arrived at the first bandit lair that needed to be dealt with.

There are many hills to the north of Sanshui City. The mountain roads are indeed difficult to walk on, but if you take a detour, it will take more than one or two days.

So, it is not clear who did it. Anyway, a flat road runs through many mountain roads. It is estimated that it must be the work of the cultivators of the Bailang Sect. If it were an ordinary citizen, it would take decades to cultivate it.

Therefore, the north of Sanshui City is the main trade route, and more than 90% of the caravans take this route.

"There's a fire on the hill on the left. Should we just charge up there?"

The man surnamed He rolled his eyes when he heard this. What else could he do except to kill them directly.

Everyone is a martial artist, and after three black bloods, they have a certain night vision ability. If they reach the Great Perfection of the Training Realm, they can easily see a hundred steps away in the dark.

If it's a sneak attack or assassination, as soon as there's the slightest noise, a master in the inner realm with amazing hearing will definitely hear the unusual noise, so why bother?

"kill!"

Seeing this, Xi An dismounted without saying a word and rushed to the brightly lit bandit den on the top of the mountain. The others followed closely behind him without any fear.

When they came out, they were already prepared to bury their bones in the wild. Moreover, the Giant Whale Sect never deducted the money for the funeral of the fallen members. The amount of money for the funeral was enough to provide food and drink for a family of seven or eight people, or even more than ten people, for more than ten years.

In the future, the descendants of the fallen members will be given priority to be selected to enter the martial arts school for training. Those without talent will be found a good job so that they can support their families without any problems. Those with talent will be carefully trained and inherit their father's business.

On the mountain, there was a group of more than thirty bandits.

When the members of the Giant Whale Sect rushed forward, only a few of them were holding weapons, and the rest were in a panic.

"?"

Everyone was stunned at first, then they reacted and started fighting like tigers entering a pack of wolves.

At the beginning, the disciples found that the other party's cultivation was much higher than theirs. But after three or five moves, they suddenly found the highlight.

Although these bandits were very powerful, their moves were completely unsystematic. They were like children with amazing strength, holding a big knife in their hands and only knew how to chop randomly.

So, a group of people tacitly worked in groups of three or four to surround and kill the bandits. In just a quarter of an hour, they had slaughtered all the more than thirty bandits.

Among them, the leading bandit leader was a master who had reached the great perfection of the Ao Lian realm. Tragically, he died at the hands of the current hall master and two leaders.

"My dear, I found that the bandit leader is like a man-made medicinal herb. It looks big and powerful, but in fact, its medicinal effect is less than half of that of naturally grown wild medicinal herbs."

Xi An said to He Sheng.

"???"

The second and third brothers all gave a thumbs up to their "big boss" when they heard this. He doesn't allow you to call him the boss, but you dare to call him a minion. When the bandit suppression is over, you'll see if he will make things difficult for you.

As we all know, the previous hall master was a petty person.

"Stop talking nonsense. We still have three places to annihilate."

A group of people went down the mountain. Among the fifty or so people, only a dozen or so suffered minor injuries. They just needed a simple bandage and it was nothing serious.

Half an hour later, a group of people rode horses to the foot of the second hill.

Looking at the brightly lit bandit lair on the top of the mountain, He Sheng felt a sudden palpitation for no reason.
