181: Next target: the Ko family

In the Inner World.

Seeing Marquis Withered Bones's exasperated look, several people were in high spirits.

"Hahaha, look at that guy, his face is green!"

Wang Ledian twisted open a bottle of happy water and chugged it down.

This style of fighting was simply too exhilarating!

What Marquis-level Expert? He didn't even have a chance to strike; he couldn't even touch them.

"I finally understand the joy of being overpowered!"

Jin Yaotian's grin stretched to the back of his head.

Participating in this battle firsthand seemed to open a new world for him.

So battles could be fought like this!

Compared to Lin Xingyu and the others, his past methods of showing off were utterly pathetic.

"Brother Xingyu, shall we continue?"

Wang Chiyao looked at Lin Xingyu, her face full of eagerness.

She hadn't had enough fun yet!

"Wait a moment, let's strike when they let their guard down."

Lin Xingyu shook his head.

Although the recent battle caused heavy casualties to the enemy, the actual gains were not significant.

Due to time constraints, there was no time to plunder Materials.

Seeing the enemy on high alert, Lin Xingyu decided to let them stew for a bit.

"We're not in a hurry with the Withered Bone Mercenary Group; we have other targets."

Lin Xingyu opened the "myriad worlds scroll" and turned his gaze towards the Gu Family... Vast Sea City, Federal Army garrison.

At the top of a towering building, Marquis Ningshuang stood with her hands behind her back, gazing at the thick smoke rising in the distance.

"That's the Withered Bone Mercenary Group's stronghold..."

The Withered Bone Mercenary Group had too many enemies, so being attacked was nothing new.

But this time, the commotion seemed a bit large.

"My Lady, it has been confirmed that the attackers are members of the Heaven Treading Alliance..."

A subordinate saluted smartly and reported.

They had compared the collected information with the database and quickly identified the attackers.

Jin Yaotian's appearance, in particular, became an important clue.

These people were powerful and possessed the ability to teleport at will.

Now, the Withered Bone Mercenary Group was in a complete mess.

According to intelligence, they had already sent people to invite a space Formation Master.

They were attempting to set up a space interference Formation to prevent the enemy from teleporting.

"Heaven Treading Alliance?"

Marquis Ningshuang was slightly taken aback.

That explained it.

The Withered Bone Mercenary Group had always been arrogant and domineering, often bullying lone adventurers.

The Heaven Treading Alliance was a force composed of commoners, so conflicts with them were normal.

"Tell the Withered Bone Mercenary Group that I don't care how they fight, but they are not allowed to affect other areas!"

Marquis Ningshuang couldn't be bothered with their mess, but this was Vast Sea City, after all, with many residents.

"Yes, My Lady!"

The subordinate took his leave... Vast Sea City, Gu Family.

"Heaven Treading Alliance..."

The Family Head, Gu Qiyuan, revealed a playful smile.

The Gu Family had been closely monitoring this emerging force.

They were naturally opposed to the major powers and had been involved in many conflicts recently.

But directly attacking a faction's headquarters was a first.

He wondered how the Withered Bone Mercenary Group had provoked them?

"The Withered Bone Mercenary Group is in for it this time! A large number of buildings were destroyed, and over half of their personnel were lost!"

The subordinate showed a schadenfreude-filled smile.

Some time ago, the Gu Family had also suffered a surprise attack.

Those major powers had secretly mocked them, and the Withered Bone Mercenary Group was among them.

Now, it was their turn to experience the taste of a surprise attack.

The Heaven Treading Alliance was backed by King Jin Kai, and that old man was not to be trifled with.

Gu Qiyuan was also in a great mood:

"Hahaha, go call my second brother; I want to have a good drink with him..."

...On the other side, deep within the Gu Family's underground warehouse.

Lin Xingyu and his group were plundering Materials like a whirlwind.

"The Gu Family's defenses are too lax!"

Wang Ledian casually put a box full of spirit crystals into his Inner World.

The operation was exceptionally smooth; they had already emptied several storerooms, yet the other party remained completely unaware.

This was the so-called prominent Family?

Such an important place, and they didn't even have a few more guards.

"It's not that their defenses are lax, but that we exploited a loophole."

Lin Xingyu said, while putting the scattered equipment on the ground into his Inner World.

When they were previously competing for the space stone ore vein, they captured many members of the Gu Family.

This gave them a thorough understanding of the Gu Family's intelligence.

This warehouse was buried deep underground, difficult for outsiders to discover, with only one passage leading to it.

The Gu Family had placed a large number of guards there.

But they directly teleported into the warehouse, not alarming anyone outside.

"Completely empty this place; don't miss a single corner!"

...Outside the original Goblin Secret Realm entrance.

In front of the mission hall.

More than a dozen adventurers, covered in bandages, looked at the closed door in front of them, their faces growing increasingly grim.

"It closed so quickly? I haven't even submitted my mission yet!"

A thin mercenary adjusted the bandage on his head.

He accidentally touched his wound, immediately grimacing in pain.

Ever since he came out of the mission hall last time, he seemed to be plagued by bad luck, with various bizarre accidents happening one after another... it was simply indescribable!

Now, he came to submit his mission, only to find the door already closed.

Just then, a staff member slowly walked out from inside, carrying some items.

Seeing that there were still people waiting here, he couldn't help but say loudly:

"This place is closed now; if you want to submit a mission, you can go to Vast Sea City!"

Saying that, he pointed to a notice beside him.

Ever since they received Lin Xingyu's information, they had begun the evacuation work.

The most important data was already in hand; the rest were low-value items.

There was no need to waste more effort maintaining the settlement point.

Not only them, but even the Wave-Chasing Battle Group was packing up their camp, preparing to withdraw.

A large number of workers had already arrived, dismantling the fortress and salvaging useful Materials.

"Vast Sea City... that far?"

Upon hearing this, the thin mercenary frowned.

Zhu Lang City was the closest, yet the settlement point wasn't placed there, but in the more distant Vast Sea City.

He was currently covered in injuries, coupled with his terrible luck.

If he had to travel a long distance to Vast Sea City, his injuries would surely worsen...

"Vast Sea City is the only large city nearby; the Federation has already established a research center there, specifically to study Goblin technology."

The staff member casually explained.

Immediately after, he loaded the items onto a psionic transport vehicle and drove away.

Only a group of "bandaged people" remained standing in place, looking at each other...
