Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Immediately, Chen Ping made arrangements: "Elder Demon Bear, you have the strongest attack power. Go to the vicinity of the secret passage exit and intercept the members of the Dragon-Snake Clan. The five Soul Saint experts in the team, follow the plan I previously laid out and obey Elder Demon Bear's orders."

"To avoid arousing suspicion, the fewer people who use the secret passage, the better. I think Tang San will most likely bring some people and swagger out of the city gate."

"Soto City has five city gates, each guarded by two Soul Saint level experts to ensure that the Dragon-Snake Clan members are dealt with promptly after leaving the city. Furthermore, the guards at the city gates will help you identify the Dragon-Snake Clan disciples, so you don't need to worry."

"If we take action inside the city, the people will suffer heavy losses. In order not to alert the enemy, we cannot clear the area in advance."

"So, Elder Ghost Leopard, your task is to monitor Tang San and report his location as soon as he leaves the city. I will come to meet you immediately. I'd like to test Tang San's mettle."

After a pause, Chen Ping pointed out the precautions: "For this mission, we don't expect you to make any great contributions. The ordinary members of the Dragon and Snake Clan are just small fry. There's no need to waste time on them, and you certainly shouldn't waste your lives."

"Apart from the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple and Tang San, as for the others, if the situation does not permit, there is no need to pursue them. I doubt they will amount to nothing."

"Furthermore, I permit you to release some people when the situation is unclear, but you are absolutely forbidden from indiscriminately killing an innocent person. If I discover any instances of killing innocent people and claiming credit for them, I will send you to the imperial prison!"

Chen Ping doesn't consider himself a good person, but he's not a bad person either.

He's not a politician, so he can't be completely evil or completely good; he's more like a wanderer in the martial arts world, neither completely good nor evil, only doing what he thinks is right.

This time, their team's strength far surpassed Tang San's group, and they were operating in the shadows. Under such circumstances, sacrificing innocent lives for victory would be the greatest failure!

……

three days later.

Since the Spirit Hall has decided to take action against Tang San and the Dragon-Snake Clan, it will naturally not increase its surveillance of them. On the contrary, it will relax its surveillance in certain aspects.

In this way, we can avoid alerting the enemy while also ensuring that important intelligence is not overlooked.

Tang San explored the perimeter of the secret passage for two days and two nights. Apart from some passing caravans and pedestrians, there was nothing unusual. He concluded that the secret passage of the Dragon and Snake Clan was very well hidden, and as long as he left under the cover of night, he would not be discovered.

Chen Ping guessed Meng Shu's idea correctly.

More than a hundred people squeezed out of the secret passage, and the surrounding vegetation was bound to be trampled.

If they are discovered by passersby, it will surely attract the attention of major powers, who will then pursue them.

Meng Shu's plan was that they had to remain undetected for at least twelve hours before they could truly escape the clutches of the various powers.

Therefore, he arranged for some of the able-bodied men to lead the young children of their families from the major city gates, and finally agreed to meet at a certain location.

Tang San had no reason to refuse such a well-thought-out arrangement.

That night, it happened to be the evening market that Barak City held every ten days. Most of the people in the city were attracted to the market. Taking advantage of the moment when the eyes and ears of the major powers were not open, they quickly left their families, disguised themselves as merchants, and left the city through the various city gates.

Tang San and Tai Long did not rush to leave the city, but instead focused on protecting the safety of these people.

Little did they know, everything they did was clearly seen by Ghost Leopard Douluo, who was hiding in the darkness.

Outside the city, the Dragon-Snake Clan disciples who were the first to leave had already exited the city.

Before long, the group arrived at a dense forest outside the city. Meng Long, who was in the lead, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no pursuers behind them. "Fortunately, the patriarch and Lord Tang made proper arrangements. We have passed the first hurdle."

Before they could relax, applause broke out in the darkness. "What a great arrangement! They brought you directly to this forest, saving us the trouble of tricking you into coming here."

Trees can, to some extent, prevent the spread of soul power, which is why assassins always prefer to hide in groves. In the darkness, two Soul Saint experts from the Spirit Hall surrounded the team, one in front and one behind.

Seeing the fourteen spirit rings at the opponent's feet, Meng Long's face darkened considerably. He was merely a Spirit Emperor; how could he possibly escape an attack from a Spirit Saint?

The fact that the enemy is here proves that their plans have been exposed.

Meng Long's expression turned solemn as he shouted, "Scatter and run! Anyone who runs back, immediately inform the family head that we've been discovered!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was not greeted by the response of his tribesmen, but by two consecutive "plop" sounds.

Two disciples of the Dragon-Snake Clan knelt on the ground and said repeatedly, "My lords, we have long since pledged our allegiance to the Bishop of the Spirit Hall in Barak City. These are our identification tokens. We beg you to spare our lives."

The two Soul Saint experts were slightly surprised, then revealed a playful smile.

One of the Soul Saints said, "I see. You two wait here for a while. The Spirit Hall will send someone to claim you. Once your identities are verified, you will receive the corresponding reward."

Upon hearing this, the two traitors happily broke away from the family group.

The disciples of the Dragon and Snake Clan, who had originally intended to put up a last-ditch resistance, completely lost their will to resist after being harassed by these two traitors.

What followed was a one-sided massacre of the Dragon-Snake Clan disciples by the two Soul Saints.

Chen Ping never said whether to kill or spare children he encountered. As long as innocent people weren't killed indiscriminately, it was entirely up to them to decide!

As for those two traitors, they also joined the encirclement and ruthlessly killed their own people.

Unfortunately, they were unaware of their fate.

How could the Spirit Hall tolerate people who would betray even their own clansmen?
Furthermore, the Spirit Hall had already colluded with the Barak royal family for this operation, and they were just waiting for the Dragon-Snake family to be destroyed before they would issue a statement.

Leaving these people in the know behind the scenes will ultimately be a disaster.

Similar scenarios are playing out elsewhere.

In short, not a single member of the Dragon-Snake family will escape.

……

Inside Barak.

Looking at the brightly lit streets, Tang San was stunned several times.

"Third Young Master, you've been working too hard these past few days. Why don't you take a break?" Noticing his expression, Tailong quickly advised.

Tang San closed his eyes slightly, pinched the bridge of his nose with his right hand, and felt a little uneasy. "I have a bad feeling that tonight's operation will go wrong."

Tailong laughed and said, "Third Young Master, let me tell you, you're just not getting enough rest, which is causing you to feel a bit depressed. Our plan is flawless, and with you and the Gaishi Longshe couple around, even if something goes wrong, we can handle it."

As he spoke, he pointed towards the direction outside the city, "Third Young Master, everything outside the city is so quiet, with no movement coming from anywhere, which proves that the Dragon and Snake Clan has not encountered any trouble."

"It's almost time. We need to leave the city as soon as possible. Tomorrow morning, we must meet up with the disciples of the Dragon-Snake Clan in the next city." (End of Chapter)
