I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 112 Old Bai's Betrayal: Murder and Robbery

Under Ding Shuangshuang's relentless attacks, Zhang Lingyun was completely overwhelmed and unable to fight back.

He was completely suppressed from the laning phase, and during team fights he was constantly controlled until he died, even missing several of his ultimate abilities.

Finally, after mustering all their strength, they barely managed to protect the base.

That's barely enough to do justice to Xia Youran.

The next morning.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Ding Shuangshuang sleeping next to him.

He wanted to slip away quietly, but Ding Shuangshuang was very alert.

She cupped Zhang Lingyun's face in her hands and gave him a big kiss:

"Don't run!"

Zhang Lingyun frowned and asked:

Did you brush your teeth?

Ding Shuangshuang pouted and said:

"I don't mind your shortcomings, but you're the one complaining about me."

Zhang Lingyun wiped his mouth in disgust:

"How can these be the same?"

Ding Shuangshuang nuzzled his chin and asked:

"Just tell me if you like it or not."

Zhang Lingyun hesitated.

Ding Shuangshuang angrily pressed on with the question:

"Tell the truth, or I'll get angry."

Zhang Lingyun could only nod reluctantly and hum in agreement.

Ding Shuangshuang smiled smugly and asked:

Has anyone else done this for you?

"no."

"So, do you want it again next time?"

Zhang Lingyun quickly shook his head:

"don't want."

Ding Shuangshuang frowned and asked:

"Why? Are you afraid Xia Youran will get angry again?"

Just as Zhang Lingyun was wondering how to answer, the tent was suddenly ripped open.

The big guy let out a silly roar:

"Boss, something's happened!"

Ding Shuangshuang angrily shouted:

"What is it?"

"The dragon sprite was stolen, and everyone is dead!"

Success was within reach, and then this happened.

Zhang Lingyun and Ding Shuangshuang quickly got dressed.

The moment Zhang Lingyun emerged from the tent, he instantly transformed into the image of a con artist.

He went into the large tent next door and saw that all the reserve hunters inside had been killed.

In order to avoid causing a disturbance, the opponent used purely physical sword techniques.

One fatal blow, clean and swift.

The oil drum lay in the very center, with a long knife stuck in its large belly.

On the square table next to it, where the dragon was placed, only the marks from the four cage legs remained.

Fang Xinyu stood with her hands on her hips in the center of the large tent, her facial features contorted with anger.

She shouted:

"Damn it, who is this bastard? How dare he target me! I'll skin him alive!"

Just then, the oil drum suddenly coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He's still alive.

Fang Xinyu quickly cast a healing spell on him, bringing him back to his senses.

The big guy handed him some compressed dry rations, and he started chewing them in big mouthfuls.

He survived entirely thanks to the thick layer of fat on his belly.

The knife, so long, only managed to cut through his layer of fat.

Fang Xinyu growled, grabbed the oil drum by the neck, and asked:

"Who did this?"

While eating, the man in the oil drum mumbled a reply:

"It's Old Bai."

Fang Xinyu was stunned for a moment.

I recall that ordinary-looking, hardworking middle-aged hunter.

She slapped herself hard.

He'd spent his whole life hunting geese, but this time he got pecked in the eye by one.

That guy pretended to be an honest, simple-minded person and infiltrated their team to double-cross them.

Fang Xinyu continued to press for answers:

"Where did Old Bai go now?"

The oil drum replied:

"When I was pretending to be dead, I heard him mutter that someone in the outpost town was there to meet him, and he probably had already rejoined the team."

Fang Xinyu heard it.

It immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.

If Old White escapes into Outpost Town, then she won't be able to do anything about him.

Because the outpost town is different from the wilderness, it is still subject to certain legal constraints.

If a major fight breaks out there, it will be subject to the combined restraint of all the resident powers.

At this moment, Long Pole, who had been keeping watch outside, and the witch, who had been praying all night, also returned to the large tent.

The seven people stared at each other, all looking listless.

Zhang Lingyun was very angry.

After nearly dying and getting the Fairy Dragon, and just when everything was about to be completed, this thing happened.

Fang Xinyu was so worried that she kept scratching her head. She said:

"I'm sorry, boss. Since we failed to bring the goods back to Outpost Town, our mission has failed. We won't charge you this time."

The other members of the team, upon hearing this, also looked dejected.

This mission was fraught with peril, and in the end, it was all for nothing.

Zhang Lingyun shook his head, feeling a bit suffocated, and said:

"Are you just going to leave it at that?"

Fang Xinyu shook her head helplessly and said:

"There's nothing we can do about it. The outpost town doesn't allow for easy use of force, let alone indiscriminate killing."

Zhang Lingyun sneered and said:

"You all dare to kill in Green Island City, but not in Outpost Town?"

The group exchanged glances, then slowly lowered their heads.

Fang Xinyu explained:

"This is quite different from the city. In the city, once we're done, we can just pack up and run away."

However, violating regulations in Outpost Town will result in being blacklisted by various powerful factions, making it impossible to do business there again.

Zhang Lingyun rolled her eyes and said:

"With the Clover Hermitage as your backer, why do you need to fear other forces?"

These words reminded the five people.

That's definitely true.

So-called rules are simply a way to restrain the weak.

Which of those teams backed by powerful forces takes the rules seriously?

Seeing that the five people were starting to hesitate, Zhang Lingyun continued to encourage them, saying:

"If you give up like this, you will only be looked down upon by others, and more people will come to steal your prey."

The five of them gritted their teeth and realized there was some truth to it.

Zhang Lingyun continued:

"If you dare to join me in retrieving the Spirit Dragon from Outpost Town, I'll double the reward. One million for each person alive, and two million for each person who dies."

The five people's eyes widened immediately.

Sure enough, money is the most important thing.

With a single stroke, he chopped over the corner of the table next to him, shouting:

"I'm working for Boss Chen now! I'm going to get revenge for this!"

Fang Xinyu patted his chest, pushed him back two steps, and said:

"I'm the captain, and I'm in charge here!"

Then, she gritted her teeth and said:

"We did it!"

The seven people quickly packed up their supplies and threw away all the unnecessary items.

They split into two of the fastest off-road vehicles, leaving two trails of dust in their wake, and sped back to the outpost town.

-----------------

Fang Xinyu is very experienced and very patient.

After she returned to the outpost town, she did not go directly to settle scores with Lao Bai.

Instead, they drove the car to a repair shop on the edge of town.

She tossed a wad of banknotes to Old Yang, the car mechanic, and asked him to prepare some hot food for everyone.

Old Yang is quick and efficient.

Several large bowls of steaming hot mutton stew were quickly served.

The steamed bun was broken into small pieces and topped with a layer of chili oil and cilantro.

Old Yang wiped his hands as he warned them:

"You shouldn't have come back. The whole town of Outpost knows about the robbery you were robbed."

Fang Xinyu took a bite of the pickled garlic and began to curse fiercely:

"We are the victims, are we supposed to hide from him?"

Old Yang grinned, revealing his large, yellowed teeth.

"In Qianchao Town, strength speaks, not reason. Whoever has the strongest fist is right."

Fang Xinyu gritted her teeth, slammed her hand on the table, and said:

"I'm quite powerful now! We're the hunter team from the Clover Hermitage!"

When Fang Xinyu shouted those words, the other four members of the team looked at her in shock.

Then he silently lowered his head and continued eating his paomo (pita bread soaked in mutton soup).

They all knew in their hearts that they were now on a sinking ship and had to see it through to the end.

Old Yang was also shocked, and even choked by his own smoke.

Fang Xinyu, sweating profusely from eating, asked Old Yang beside her:

"Tell me all the information about Old Bai."

Old Yang pretended not to hear and gently rubbed his fingers together.

Without saying a word, Fang Xinyu threw down a few more banknotes.

Old Yang is not only a car repairman, but also the most well-connected intelligence broker in Qianshao Town.

He put the money in his pocket and then told everyone what he knew in detail.

"The ones who stole your things were another hunting squad. They came from another outpost town, and they're backed by the [Eclipse Society]."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingyun exchanged a glance with Ding Shuangshuang.

Both of them realized that this was probably not just a simple case of double-crossing; there might also be the shadow of the "God Kingdom Organization."

After all, the [Eclipse Society] and the [Divine Kingdom Organization] have always been in cahoots.

Old Yang continued:

"Old Bai is only the third in command, but he's the best at playing dumb to take advantage of others. Eight or ten teams have died at his hands."

Fang Xinyu frowned, thinking to herself, "Old Bai is so powerful, yet he's only the third oldest?"

Old Yang's profile picture seemed to read her mind, and he continued:

"The second oldest in the team is the real tough guy."

Formerly a branch leader of the Golden Rose Society, he betrayed them and fled to the danger zone, joining their squad. He's said to be a high-ranking sorcerer who has been in seclusion for decades.

Zhang Lingyun blew on the steam rising from the bowl and asked casually:

"Was that person named Yu Li?"

Old Yang smiled and gave a thumbs up:

"It seems this gentleman has seen a lot in his life. Yes, it's him."

Zhang Lingyun could only think to himself, "What a small world!"

It seems even the heavens are planning to let him deal with this traitor.

Fang Xinyu felt a little flustered when she heard this.

She quickly asked:

"So who exactly is their top leader?"

Old Yang's expression also turned serious, and he lowered his voice to say:

"Their top leader is the most powerful one. He is a vice president of the Eclipse Society named Lu Weishen, a master of the Prophecy School."

According to intelligence, his most proficient spell is called "Overpowering the Enemy's Opportunity".

Once that spell is cast, it can predict every move your opponent makes.

No matter what move you make, he can dodge it in advance and even predict your openings. You can't hurt him at all.

The team members all gasped in unison.

This guy is really troublesome.

Being able to predict every move the enemy makes is practically like having the ability to control time.

If that's the case, then they have absolutely no chance of winning.

The group of people who were full of ambition just moments ago suddenly had second thoughts.

Old Yang smiled and advised:

"I think you should leave as soon as you've eaten and drunk your fill."

If they knew you were back, they probably would have come knocking on your door tomorrow, without you even having to come looking for them.

Ding Shuangshuang was also a little worried and gently touched Zhang Lingyun.

However, because she now appears as a "fraudster," Ding Shuangshuang seems somewhat resistant to it.

She only nudged his shoe with her toe and whispered:

"How about we just let it go this time? We'll have another chance to catch a faerie dragon later. There's no need to go head-to-head with a master of the Prophecy School."

But Zhang Lingyun thought of something and felt that this time there was still a chance.

If he can make good use of his trump card, he might be able to achieve a swift victory.

Seeing that everyone was a bit discouraged, Zhang Lingyun encouraged them once again:

"I've fought Yu Li before, and he's no match for me."

When Zhang Lingyun said that, he was definitely exaggerating a bit.

He did indeed fight Yu Li twice.

But the first time he won through deception, and the second time he simply ran away.

Of course, what he said is not wrong; rounding up or down, he can be considered to have won.

Everyone turned to look at him, and a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts.

But Fang Xinyu immediately added:

"So who will deal with Lu Weishen of the 'prophetic school'?"

Zhang Lingyun said:

"I'll deal with him too."

Fang Xinyu frowned.

Seeing Zhang Lingyun's confident demeanor, she suddenly remembered her identity as the boss.

Fang Xinyu then nodded slightly and said:

"Alright! If you can handle these two, leave the rest to us."

However, her subordinates were still quite insecure and secretly sized each other up.

Based on the information they currently have, they only know that this boss is very rich, but they don't know how strong his abilities are.

Old Yang, sitting to the side, snorted coldly and said:

"This is not the time to brag; we could end up with a total wipeout."

I see the young woman accompanying this boss is quite pretty; you mustn't let her become a widow so early.

Ding Shuangshuang bit her lip and, unusually, did not retort.

She probably felt that the word "widow" implied a relationship between the two of them, which made her feel a little comfortable.

Zhang Lingyun smoothed the stray hairs from her forehead.

"I mean what I say. Lu Weishen's magic happens to be countered by one of my spells. He's fine as long as he doesn't use his ultimate move, but once he does, he's doomed."

Old Yang smiled and said:

"You're so arrogant! Who do you think you are?"

Old Yang glanced over disdainfully and saw the scar on the conman's forehead, left by the lightning bolt.

Information brokers like Old Yang naturally know more secrets than ordinary people.

Upon seeing the lightning bolt scar, he immediately thought of someone.

"Could you be...?"

Old Yang swallowed hard, but still didn't dare to say the name.

He slowly sat back down, muttering:

"My apologies! If it really is you, then Lu Weishen is definitely no match for you."

The rest of the team members are still confused about what's going on.

However, they could all sense that the boss's strength was probably far beyond their imagination.

This operation should be fine.

-----------------

Considering that the opponent has a high-ranking warlock from the Prophecy School, the operation absolutely cannot be delayed.

They must act swiftly and decisively, catching the enemy off guard.

After finishing the meal, everyone immediately began preparations.

Based on the information provided by Old Yang, they headed straight for Old Bai's team's base.

At this moment, inside the base, Lao Bai was holding a grand victory celebration banquet.

Yu Li sat next to him, holding a glass of wine in his hand, with a smug look on his face.

Despite Yu Li's repeated failures, Zhang Lingyun even traded away his experience from the [Energy Shaping School].

However, his reputation as the former head of the Golden Rose branch was quite high, and he easily secured a VIP seat.

Not only Old White's team, but also many hunters from Outpost Town came to show their support.

They all held wine glasses and fawned over Lao Bai and Yu Li.

A group of people were shouting and laughing, drinking heartily.

A deafening roar—

Two SUVs crashed through the gate and drove directly into the courtyard.

The hunters from Old White's team reacted extremely quickly, just about to pull out their cards to attack.

The big guy and the oil drum had already jumped off the vehicle.

Without thinking twice, the two used their physical strength for defense.

Braving various missiles and rays, he fiercely charged into the crowd.

The oil drum swung around like a machete, and many fingers holding cards flew out.

The big guy was even more ferocious, grabbing a person's face and biting it, scaring the people around him into backing away.

The long pole did not rush in with the vehicle.

He had already climbed to a high vantage point in the distance and set up the sniper rifle engraved with runes.

The witch squatted beside him, acting as his observer.

Fang Xinyu drove her car straight into the lobby.

The people sitting near the door were directly transported to another world.

The scene was instantly filled with utter chaos.

Ding Shuangshuang drew her pistol and fired three shots in the direction of Lao Bai.

But they were all blocked by his [energy shield].

Old Bai acted honestly and unassumingly, making people think he was just an ordinary person.

He's only now revealing his true strength; he appears to be in the late stage of the [Intermediate Warlock] level, just one step away from becoming a [High-Level Warlock].

Fang Xinyu kicked open the car door and jumped out angrily.

She screamed:

"Old White, give me back my prey!"

Old Bai laughed heartily, showing no remorse whatsoever.

"Captain Fang, isn't what you're doing in the outpost a bit inappropriate?"

At this moment, the other hunters who had come to the banquet also began to discuss among themselves:

"That's right, Outpost Town has its own rules. Who just barges in like that?"

"If you get robbed, you can only blame yourself for being incompetent. Once you enter the outpost town, you should follow the rules."

"What you did today has broken the rules of Outpost Town, and you will definitely be punished by various forces in the future."

Fang Xinyu was so angry that she was trembling all over as she listened to these fallacies.

She pointed at these people and cursed:

"You bunch of sycophantic scoundrels! We are the ones being robbed, and you still dare to spout such nonsense."
