Surviving in a chaotic world and becoming a saint by adding points

Chapter 43 Zhengde

"Miaomiao, are you alright?"

The man's aged voice was tinged with weariness.

"Third Uncle, I'm fine, I... Are you alright? Let me help you up."

After helping Sun Jun to the fire, Sun Miao told him what had happened to him after Sun Jun left.

However, after talking about Gu Lingyun risking his life to protect her, she for some reason blurred the part about meeting Chen Ran.

"Two unknown experts, one in black and one in white, with three different blood types."

Their martial arts style is more subtle and gentle, unlike the style of the martial artists in Qinghe County who use wide and sweeping movements.

This is an ambush targeting you. Do you have any leads? What are your plans afterward?

The old man sitting by the fire looked at Sun Miao with a blank expression, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Inside the room, Chen Ran, who overheard their conversation, was speechless.

There may still be enemies lurking outside, ready to attack again at any moment.

The old man and the young boy, instead of searching for survivors or a way out, simply sat there and engaged in a question-and-answer session.

Is this simply a matter of being bold, or does he have some hidden cards up his sleeve?

"Third Uncle, don't worry. I have a vague idea of ​​who was behind this robbery."

Since I'm still alive, it's their turn to suffer.

Sun Miao remained calm, reverting to her previous indifferent demeanor. However, those who knew her would understand that the more composed she was now, the more ruthless her subsequent revenge would be.

"It's good that you have an idea."

"You've listened long enough, haven't you?"

The dim firelight illuminated Sun Jun's face, which showed neither sorrow nor joy.

Then, he changed the subject and shouted in a certain direction.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran remained lying on the bed, showing no sign of moving.

He simply couldn't believe that in his current state, the old man, whose body was half buried, could possibly find him.

"Ahem, Tianyun gestures in front of me, Gu Lingyun greets you."

In the mist, Gu Lingyun, with one arm hanging limply, wore a bitter smile.

"Thank you so much, Elder Gu, for protecting me with your life. Sun Miao will surely repay you handsomely when he returns."

Upon seeing Gu Lingyun, who had fought desperately against the three-blood warrior to cover his retreat, Sun Miao immediately stood up and bowed deeply to him.

"You issue a commission, and my gang accepts it. I will do it even if it costs me my life. We owe each other nothing."

If it weren't for Miss Sun using your secret technique to drag the opponent into a weakened state, we would probably all be dead.

If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me thanking you.

Gu Lingyun said solemnly.

"As expected of Gu Lingyun, please ask Elder Gu to check if there are any survivors."

Once the fog clears, we still need to head to Zhengde Temple.

Sun Jun picked up the conversation and said calmly.

"I see."

After saying that, Gu Lingyun began searching for those who were still alive.

A warrior with three bloodlines is no longer human.

The destructive power it causes is terrifying.

When Sun Jun and Hei Wusi fought before, the aftershocks alone caused the entire house to collapse.

Most of the members of the Canal Gang did not die from the aftershocks, but were crushed to death when the houses collapsed. Only a few were trapped under the bricks and fell into a coma.

After waking the others, Gu Lingyun went to the room, which was still in relatively good condition.

Three of the four chief worshippers are dead, and the other is still in a coma. What's going on?

Just then, Chen Ran slowly woke up.

"What's going on?"

Looking at Chen Ran, who was slowly waking up, Gu Lingyun pointed to the other three deceased elders and asked.

"This person is... If I hadn't been lucky, I'd probably be dead by now."

After explaining the whole story, Chen Ran patted his chest, still feeling a lingering sense of unease.

The gist of it is that this person was a spy who ambushed people one by one when the fighting broke out outside.

If the deaths of the two people before him hadn't given him a warning, he probably wouldn't have survived.

As he stated that nine parts were true and one part were false, Gu Lingyun nodded, neither believing nor disbelieving.

This can be considered an acceptance of Chen Ran's statement.

After all, these people are just offerings.

They do things for money.

As long as they weren't caught red-handed harming the Cao Gang disciples, Gu Lingyun didn't bother with anything else.

When Gu Lingyun brought Chen Ran out.

Sun Miao, who was sitting by the fire, looked over.

Upon seeing Chen Ran's figure, her body involuntarily trembled slightly, but she immediately returned to normal.

After a night of turmoil, the few survivors were also unable to sleep.

They sat silently by the fire, not saying a word.

When the dawn's sunlight pierces the darkness.

The fog that had lingered all night began to slowly dissipate.

"The ghostly dust has dissipated, let's go."

Gu Lingyun was still leading the team.

Upon hearing his words, everyone quickly followed him outside.

The rest of the journey proceeded without any unexpected incidents.

When passing Matou Mountain, Chen Ran did not leave the group, but continued to follow the group.

After all, he didn't know if the three-blood warriors who were still alive were hiding in the shadows, waiting for them to be alone.

After passing through Matou Mountain, Qingde Mountain is already very close.

Half a day later, a temple full of ancient charm appeared before everyone's eyes.

At the temple entrance, Abbot Zhengde, dressed in a red kasaya with white eyebrows, was already waiting.

Upon seeing the group, he slowly walked up.

"My old friend, it seems your trip hasn't been very smooth."

"Let's go inside and talk about it."

"Please come in."

He led everyone into the temple.

The group then separated.

Gu Lingyun, Chen Ran, and the others were led by a novice monk through a long corridor to a courtyard.

"This is the east wing. Worshippers can rest here for a while."

With his hands placed near his mouth, the young novice monk finished speaking, closed the door, and went outside.

"Take a good night's rest, and we can go back tomorrow morning."

Considering this attack.

After returning, each person should go to the accounting office and collect an extra fifty taels.

Gu Lingyun, whose face was wrapped in white linen bandages, said.

"Thank you, Elder Gu."

The crowd, who were still immersed in grief, lit up with joy after hearing Gu Lingyun's promise.

Chen Ran sat in the corner, his eyes wandering off into the distance.

He had no other thoughts at the moment, he just wanted to finish this mission as soon as possible, go back and take stock of the spoils, and prepare for his trip to Matou Mountain to find the great medicine.

Nanming Street.

Headquarters of the Pure Fire Cult.

Covered in wounds, Hei Wusi stared with resentment at the unrecognizable corpse before him.

His eyes were filled with sorrow.

"Brother, I ultimately failed to protect you."

I will definitely avenge you.

After a long while, Hei Wusi murmured, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

As she and her younger brother supported each other, memories of crawling out of that pile of corpses gradually surfaced.

With each glimpse of something, Hei Wusi felt a pang of sadness, and at the same time, the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger.

He hated the person who killed his brother even more.

"Sun Wuji, I need more offerings, and information about that team and everyone in them."

His tone was cold, carrying an unquestionable command.

"Yes, Lord Kuromuji."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wuji, who was standing to the side, dared not be negligent and quickly replied.

As he slowly left the room, Sun Wuji's expression returned to its usual calm.

"So this is all there is to it, even the Black and White Guards."

A mission, between the Black and White Guards, resulted in one death and one injury.

And this guy is supposed to help me unify the entire Qinghe County?

You must be dreaming.

"But where are we going to get so many people? We'll have to do more business with those human traffickers from the Flowing Light Society."

Despite the complaints, even when a three-blood master is weakened, killing him won't be too difficult.

Normally, he was certain that Hei Wusi wouldn't kill him.

But now, he's not so sure.

In order to gather enough offerings, Sun Wuji planned to do the same as before: have his Jinghuo Sect members bewitch some of them, and import some directly from the Liuguang Society's slave traders.
