Capture, Danger Emerges

"I can finally Entering the Ranks!!"

The black-robed man acted like he'd gone mad.

He had paid far too much for these few pills!!

Meng Chenghao was utterly dismissive.

"I've given you the items, so you need to keep your word, keep this matter buried, and leave Fangcheng now."

"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. I'll be leaving Fangcheng with my brothers shortly and find a new place to live, but..."

The middle-aged man sneered, "As the leader of my brothers, I have to consider them, don't I?"

"If I eat the meat, they should at least get to drink some of the soup, right?"

"Your Meng Family is wealthy and influential; you shouldn't care about this!"

Meng Chenghao was furious and asked in a low voice, "Speak, what else do you want?"

"Silver taels!"

"How much?"

"Hmm..."

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then slowly held up one finger.

"One thousand taels. My brothers and I only want one thousand taels."

"There are five of us, so two hundred taels each isn't too much, is it?"

In reality, this sum was already quite substantial.

Meng Chenghao felt like his heart was bleeding.

"Impossible!" he refused outright.

"I don't have that much on me. If I have to go home to get it, it will take a lot of time."

"How much do you have?"

"Five hundred taels. If you want it, take it now and leave."

"Want it? Why wouldn't I want it!"

Upon hearing that Meng Chenghao had five hundred taels, the middle-aged man's expression immediately changed. With a smile, he reached out his hand.

After receiving the banknotes, the middle-aged man grinned.

"Thank you, Young Master Meng!!"

The two walked out of the room, and the gazes of the others all converged on them.

"Let's go!"

The middle-aged man waved his hand.

Just as they reached the doorway and were about to step out, the middle-aged man suddenly stiffened, his face rapidly darkening.

"Someone's coming!!"

"Who?"

Meng Chenghao was a little nervous.

"The Town Martial Division!!"

At these words.

Meng Chenghao instantly became terrified.

If it were any other time, he wouldn't be so scared.

But now, he was with a scoundrel from the Salvation Cult.

If the Town Martial Division found out, his Meng Family would absolutely not escape responsibility.

It was possible that the Meng Family's reputation would be completely ruined.

They might even be unwelcome in the entire Fangcheng.

"Get me out of here!"

In an instant, he made his decision.

"No matter what, you must get me out of here without anyone noticing my identity."

"Otherwise, none of us will escape!"

"What's the panic!"

The black-robed man glanced at him contemptuously, then slowly shifted his gaze, pointing at the two strongest individuals besides himself, and commanded:

"When the time comes, escort Young Master Meng away."

"You two!"

He looked at the other two, "After they leave through the front, we'll go out together to attract attention. If we can escape, we'll share riches and honor together."

One hundred taels each.

Once everyone received their banknotes, their spirits soared.

"Boss, let's do this!"

"Let's do it!"

The crowd roared excitedly.

Hearing this, Sun Wangxian immediately reacted.

"We've been discovered!!"

"Attack!"

With a command, the brothers from the Town Martial Division instantly charged forward.

He An stood ready.

Without a doubt.

When the two sides clashed in chaos, it would be the best time for him to make his move.

He knew this, and others would too, so he couldn't afford to slack off for even a moment, or death would be his only fate.

The door was kicked open.

Suddenly.

Two burly men rushed out, charging towards the Town Martial Division members.

At the same moment.

The two men escorting the young man also charged out in the opposite direction.

Seeing everyone leave, the middle-aged man quickly entered the inner room and, with lightning speed, placed the jade bottle into a hidden compartment on the floor.

"After today, I will be an Entering the Ranks expert!"

He sneered.

"Kill!"

Chaos erupted outside.

He An did not attack, merely observing the fight.

Seeing that these people intended to fight to the death, Sun Wangxian slowly drew his great saber and roared, "Brothers, don't let a single one escape!!!"

Those clerks from the Town Martial Division went berserk, their fists raining down on the two men who had first rushed out.

With the advantage in strength and numbers.

If they didn't charge and seize the opportunity now, when would they earn merit?

Witnessing the one-sided victory, the two bailiffs from the Town Martial Division, just like He An, were now restless, showing every intention of joining the fray.

At this moment, the black-robed man emerged.

With a single punch, a clerk from the Town Martial Division who had rushed forward was instantly sent flying, crashing heavily into a tree over ten meters behind him.

"Your opponent is me."

Sensing the man's strength, Sun Wangxian slashed his saber, aiming straight for the black-robed man.

The black-robed man dodged sideways.

He kicked Sun Wangxian in the chest.

Sun Wangxian staggered back several steps.

"What strength!!"

"Brothers, let's go together, let's deal with this one first."

As he spoke.

Several clerks instantly rushed over.

Only two were left to deal with the two members of the Salvation Cult who had come out first.

Even in a one-on-one fight, those two were already doomed.

They were all heavily injured and on the verge of defeat, unable to hold on for much longer.

As veterans of the Town Martial Division, they knew very well.

When facing powerful Martial Artists, never think about "martial ethics."

Fighting them one-on-one was something only fools would do.

They only had one thing to do.

Quickly end the fight!!

Several killing intents instantly enveloped the middle-aged man.

His expression turned cold, knowing he was no match for them.

Glancing at the two who were about to be defeated, his figure flickered, and he rapidly moved away from his original spot.

Bang bang bang.

With just two palms, two more people were sent flying.

Seizing this opportunity, the middle-aged man didn't continue attacking. Instead, he immediately took advantage of everyone's distraction and charged into the dense woods.

"Chase!"

Sun Wangxian shot out.

Seeing this, the others also followed suit.

The sound of rustling trees could be heard from afar, followed by the scattering of birds and beasts.

The scene.

After a few minutes.

Two members of the Salvation Cult lay on the ground, unwilling to accept defeat.

"Sigh, you two stay here and keep watch. We'll go find Captain Sun and the others!"

After dealing with their immediate situation, the remaining two didn't wait around. Instead, they both rushed in the direction Sun Wangxian and the others had gone.

After taking a few steps, one of them turned back and warned:

"Don't touch anything at the scene. If you're found to have hidden anything, you know the consequences. The Town Martial Division doesn't need people like that."

With that, the last person also disappeared into the woods.

In an instant.

Only He An and two other bailiffs remained at the scene.

And, two corpses.

"Brother He, it's over. Do you want to come over here? We can take a break," the bailiff named Lü Jiang called out to He An, waving his hand.

He An paused for a few breaths.

"Coming!"

He ran over and stood with Lü Jiang and Fan Xingwei. The two of them were unfazed by the corpses, showing no fear. They were merely discussing amongst themselves.

"What do you think we'll get as a reward when we go back this time? Will we be directly registered?"

Fan Xingwei was somewhat expectant.

"Impossible!"

Lü Jiang flatly refused.

"To be registered, you first need to become a Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist, and then pass the Division's assessment. Only then will you have a chance to be registered."

"We're just carrying out this mission, and it doesn't have much to do with us directly. How could they possibly register us right away?"

"Alright!" Fan Xingwei sighed.

"Regardless, if I can break through to become a Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist within two years, I'll be satisfied."

"I'm different."

Lü Jiang said firmly, "I believe that with my own effort, I will definitely be registered within a year and truly become a member of the Town Martial Division."

Fan Xingwei's eyes widened, disbelief evident.

"What about you?"

He looked at He An, who nodded, "I'm also confident I'll be registered within a year."

It's not scary for brothers to suffer, but it's scary for brothers to drive luxury cars.

What's more.

They weren't even brothers.

In an instant.

Fan Xingwei felt worse than if he had died.

He thought, so it seems he's the only one without a chance.

He An, for now, was out of the question. He didn't know much about He An.

But he knew quite a bit about Lü Jiang.

Lü Jiang's strength wasn't that great, and his comprehension of martial arts was about the same as his.

How could he be so confident that he could be registered within a year?

Could it be that he had a breakthrough?

He was full of curiosity and was just about to open his mouth to ask Lü Jiang to impart some of his experience to him.

Suddenly.

A sharp light shot out from Lü Jiang's embrace.

A short knife.

The blade was coated in black, as if smeared with some kind of poison.

"I'm sorry, Brother He."
