Chapter 148: Chaos Everywhere
Just as the death fighters in the yard were secretly discussing among themselves, a man dressed as a night watchman carrying a gong turned into the yard.
The night watchman had an arrogant attitude and scanned the area, saying, “It’s time for you to take action.”
Xiao Xueyin knew no one would step forward, so he took the initiative to approach and quietly asked, “Yellow Great Immortal, Hu Er Ye didn’t come, right?”
Hu Er Ye?
You consumables dare to ask that?
The night watchman sneered, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. Just do your job honestly.”
“Yes, yes, yes. You’re right. This is specially bought to show respect to you.”
Xiao Xueyin wasn’t annoyed and respectfully handed over a roast chicken wrapped in a lotus leaf.
The night watchman’s nostrils twitched as it took the roast chicken, its expression softening a bit.
“Mm, you’re not bad. After the matter is done, if you survive, you can come find me.” Its scrutinizing gaze swept over every death fighter present: “Alright, get moving quickly.”
With that, the night watchman held the gong in one hand and the roast chicken in the other, turning to leave the yard.
Watching this yellow weasel leave, the death fighters in the yard immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They wanted to curse the yellow weasel but felt it would be embarrassing to speak only after it had left, causing the yard to inexplicably fall into silence.
Xiao Xueyin was well aware of everyone’s emotions and smiled, saying, “Everyone, relax. These things won’t be arrogant for much longer.”
“Yeah.”
“I’m definitely going to make it pay!”
“Well said.”
Watching the crowd in the yard gradually regain confidence.
Xiao Xueyin nodded: “Here’s the plan. Pick missions you’re good at. Anyway, everyone, be careful and stay safe…”
……
Inside a simple dwelling.
Xiao Xueyin paced back and forth continuously, his face full of anxiety and panic.
“You’re the one who sent someone to find me, saying there’s important news to report to me?”
Master Bai Fourteen swaggered into the dwelling.
Hearing the movement, Xiao Xueyin’s expression lit up, like a drowning person seeing a lifeline.
In his excitement, he wanted to rush over and grab Master Bai Fourteen. He took two steps forward but suddenly realized it lacked respect, so he stopped two or three steps away and asked hopefully, “May I ask if Master Bai Fourteen is before me?”
“Why didn’t you dare come to my training ground to find me?”
Master Bai Fourteen looked at Xiao Xueyin, feeling his reaction quite fitting for a loyal believer: “If you’re deliberately deceiving me, I won’t let you off.”
Xiao Xueyin hurriedly knelt before Master Bai Fourteen and said in a panic, “This… this one absolutely dares not deceive Fourteenth Master. It’s just that this matter is of great importance.”
“Fine, tell me what it is first.”
“Tonight…”
……
It took half an incense stick’s time, but Xiao Xueyin finally dumped all the intelligence he had prepared in advance in front of Master Bai Fourteen.
Of course, what he said was basically true.
He just omitted their identities as death fighters.
“Hu Clan and Yellow Clan have already joined forces deeply, huh.”
Master Bai Fourteen’s complexion fluctuated between dark and clear. Though this situation was shocking, he still believed most of it.
After all, ever since Grandma Wang San went missing, it was a fact that worldly affairs had become chaotic.
The person before him wasn’t even a spirit messenger. If he were making up lies, he couldn’t have made them so detailed and convincing.
Seeing this, Xiao Xueyin struck while the iron was hot.
“Exactly. Those ambitious evil spirits are planning to make their move tonight. Fourteenth Master, you must not take it lightly. For safety’s sake, this one thinks you should summon some immortal friends to aid you in battle right now.”
As if to prove he wasn’t lying, hoarse shouts rose from the distance, breaking the night’s silence.
Looking in the direction of the sounds, the sky over there was already dyed red by firelight.
