CHAPTER 410: CHAPTER 398: KILLING THREE BIRDS WITH ONE ARROW (SUBSCRIPTION REQUEST)

Hearing the man’s words, the few people around him showed extremely shocked expressions.

In their hearts, Lord Bishop’s strength was unfathomable. Unless the Awakeners from large cities personally took action, even the strong from medium-sized cities might not necessarily be able to do anything to him.

But in front of them, this Anshan City was just a small city, and yet there was someone here who couldn’t be defeated by Lord Bishop?

Impossible, right?

Fang Liang scanned the faces of the people around him and sighed, "It’s understandable that you don’t know. This matter happened suddenly, and I spent quite a bit to get this information from the Awakeners here."

"Brother Fang, what news is it?"

Someone asked tentatively.

"Just a few hours ago, a group of strong Awakeners from Jiulong City arrived here."

"What!"

They all looked at each other in astonishment.

Jiulong City?

That was a medium-sized city where the top people are all B-level Awakeners, whom they could only look up to.

Could it be that this group?

"That’s right."

Fang Liang took a deep breath and said, "There are eight of them, all without exception, B-level Awakeners."

The few people felt a sense of suffocation, cold sweat streaming down their foreheads.

No way?

Eight B-level Awakeners came to Anshan City?

They seemed to understand why Fang Liang said Wang Ru’s group was too impulsive. With eight B-level Awakeners here in Anshan City, how dare they kill? They must have a death wish.

Fang Liang glanced at them, guessing what they were thinking, and said, "Don’t worry, they are all dead."

"Phew..."

Everyone let out a sigh of relief in unison.

They’re all dead? If only you’d said that earlier...

The next second, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Those eyes seemed to say, Brother Fang, you’re not joking, are you? Eight B-level Awakeners, such a strong group, who has the ability to kill them?

"Sigh."

Fang Liang sighed and said, "You may not believe it when I say it, and neither did I at first, but it’s quite possible. Many people in the Awakened Association witnessed it. The one who killed the group of Awakeners from Jiulong City was none other than the president of the Awakened Association here, Li Ping."

"Wha!"

Someone quickly covered their mouth, afraid of alerting others and then lowered their voice,

"Brother Fang, you’re not joking, right? The president of the Awakened Association here is that powerful?"

"Yes, Brother Fang, we’re talking about eight B-level Awakeners! Even Lord Bishop would avoid them; surrounded, he would be dead for sure."

"Could it be a self-directed act by the Awakeners here to scare us?" someone asked.

After all, Anshan City is chaotic now, and exaggerating their president’s strength could intimidate others.

"That’s not ruled out."

Fang Liang frowned, "But it’s unlikely, because the demeanor of the person I saw didn’t seem like acting. Moreover, others are saying the same thing."

They fell silent immediately,

The good news was that the group of strong awakeners from Jiulong City was dead.

The bad news was that a stronger one was stationed here.

"Brother Fang, what do you think we should do next?" a man asked bitterly, "If this news is true, going back empty-handed will be hard to explain to Lord Bishop."

"Yes, Brother Fang, Wang Ru’s group has already started taking action tonight; should we also take action? We can’t go back empty-handed."

"But what if we alarm that one?" someone said nervously, "He killed eight B-level Awakeners by himself, killing us would be no harder than squashing an ant."

"As long as we are careful, he shouldn’t be able to find us, right? Moreover, Brother Fang said it’s only a possibility, whether it’s true or not is uncertain."

They all voiced their opinions one after another, obviously, most of them were reluctant to give up.

Fang Liang also fell into a deep dilemma.

To be honest, this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But that president, his strength was too strong, perhaps an A-level Awakener. If he was alerted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Withdraw?

He knew Lord Bishop’s character very well; on the surface, he appeared magnanimous, but in reality, he was very narrow-minded. If they didn’t meet expectations and went back, future days wouldn’t be good.

Not just Lord Bishop, others would also make sarcastic remarks to their faces or behind their backs.

The key point is, Wang Ru’s group was also in Anshan City, killing crazily.

In this case, wouldn’t it highlight their cowardice and incompetence even more?

Fang Liang took a deep breath and said slowly, "Alright, let’s not act rashly and see how things develop."

"Brother Fang means? Let Wang Ru’s group scout the way for us?" someone got the hint and asked.

"Yes."

Fang Liang nodded, "I don’t know whether the rumor about the Awakened Association is true or not, but if it’s false, that’s best. If it’s true and someone gets caught, it won’t be us."

"Brother Fang, but if the rumor is true, and that Li Ping doesn’t catch them?"

"Yes, Brother Fang, then the gap between us and Wang Ru will widen, and it will be hard to explain to Lord Bishop?"

"What are you afraid of?"

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Fang Liang’s eyes, "If that happens, we kill them and take their sacred artifacts. Their credit will be ours."

They were stunned for a moment, then immediately became excited.

Brilliant!

This way, even if there’s danger, it won’t befall them, and they still get the benefits without much effort.

"Brother Fang, you’re truly brilliant!"

"Yes, we just need to be clean and don’t get caught."

"I’m too dumb. I don’t know when I’ll be as smart as Brother Fang."

Listening to their flattery, Fang Liang’s smile grew wider.

He had long disliked Wang Ru. Why not take this opportunity to eliminate him, gain benefits, and avoid risks?

It’s killing three birds with one stone!

The next day, at dawn.

In a small room, several people in black robes sat around a table.

A woman’s voice rang out, "Zhao Jin hasn’t returned yet?"

The other black-robed people looked at each other upon hearing this.

"Not yet."

"He should be back soon, any minute now."

"The sky’s getting brighter; if he doesn’t return soon, there will be risks of exposure."

As the words fell, ripples appeared in the air, and a black-robed man appeared inside the room.

Everyone immediately sighed in relief.

"Zhao Jin, you’re here. Big Sister was just asking for you," a black-robed man joked.

"Sorry for worrying you, Big Sister."

Zhao Jin apologized.

"It’s good that you returned in time."

Wang Ru glanced at him and pointed to an empty seat by the table, "Sit down and report the results of last night’s mission."

"I killed 223," a middle-aged man said proudly, holding a smaller black ball in his hand, filled with dense dark energy.

"Well done."

Wang Ru nodded in satisfaction.

In the past, it took several days of searching for them to get such results together. Now, one person accomplished it in one night.

"Brother Qin is as strong as ever. I only killed 201."

Another voice rang out.

"I killed 197."

"I killed 225."

Finally, all eyes were on the last person, the one who had arrived last.

The person smiled slightly, holding a black ball in his hand.

The density of the dark energy inside was more than double that of the others.

"I killed exactly 300. If it weren’t for dawn, I could’ve killed more."

He smacked his lips, looking unsatisfied.

The others were a bit displeased but couldn’t do anything about it.

After all, the dense energy in the black ball spoke for itself.

"Very good."

Wang Ru nodded approvingly.

Including her 300+ kills, the six of them nearly reached 2,000!

2,000 in one night; such efficiency, she dared only dream of.

Scanning the others, she said, "Everyone did well. Rest now, and be energized for tonight. Once we gather 10,000, Lord Bishop will reward us handsomely."

Hearing this, the eyes of the other five sparkled with excitement.

10,000 didn’t seem too difficult. Once achieved, they would become stronger!

"Big Sister."

A man asked worriedly, "With over a thousand people disappearing overnight, won’t this alert the Awakeners?"

Evidently, his words made the others just as concerned.

"They will be alerted."

Wang Ru said unhurriedly, "But no need to be overly worried. As long as we leave no traces, even if the Awakeners find something suspicious, so what? Even if we encounter them, with our strength, they can’t do anything to us. Worst case, we blend back in later."

"That’s true. Those Awakeners are in the open, we’re in the shadows. Finding us won’t be easy."

"Even if they do, so what? Haven’t killed C-level Awakeners in a while. Let’s kill any who cross our way!"

"Exactly. Tigers don’t show their might; they think we’re sick cats?"

They spoke boldly, disregarding the Awakeners entirely.

"By the way, what’s the situation with Fang Liang’s group?"

Wang Ru asked curiously.

"Any of you encounter them last night?"

"No encounter on my end."

"Same here."

"Me neither."

They all shook their heads in unison.

"No one encountered them?" Wang Ru looked surprised.
