113: Chapter 113 Internal and External Cooperation

For a moment, the crowd erupted into another round of praise.

Xiao Zhang felt neither awkward nor embarrassed; he calmly accepted the flattery from the crowd, nodded, and said, "Alright, alright, you all should think it over carefully."

"Those willing to participate, stand behind me; those who don't want to, you can leave now. I won't stop you."

Once these words were spoken, not a single person retreated; instead, everyone scrambled to rush forward.

Just kidding! It was only a matter of cooperating, and they could get a massive contribution for free. Only a fool wouldn't do it!

"Good!" Xiao Zhang nodded with satisfaction. "Since that's the case, everyone get ready."

He looked up at the sky and arranged things with a serious air. "It is currently evening. Once night falls completely, we will set off immediately to the first ambush point I've selected to set up traps!"

"Good!" The captains nodded in agreement.

However, just at that moment, Fang Yuan squeezed out from the crowd, trotting over with a flattering smile. "Um... Senior Brother Xiao, can I participate too?"

"Don't worry, I don't have many other skills, but when it comes to coordination, I am absolutely top-notch!"

"I once coordinated with a Golden Core Elder in the Sect to refine pills, and I've also coordinated with an Outer Sect Junior Brother to sweep the floor. I guarantee I'll hit wherever you point, with no hesitation!"

While he was busy singing his own praises, he noticed that Xiao Zhang's gaze wasn't even on him, but was fixed straight on Bai Jiner behind him.

"Hiss... this Junior Sister looks... tsk, tsk, tsk, she's so fresh and lovely!"

If he brought her back to the Mountain King, wouldn't he be overjoyed and reward him with a pile of good things?

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and agreed immediately. "Good! Then I'll take both of you!"

Night fell.

Xiao Zhang led over three hundred captains, along with Fang Yuan and Bai Jiner, and set off in a grand procession, sent off by the eager gazes of over four thousand Disciples in the valley.

However, no one expected that this departure would be a final farewell. These Disciples would never see their captains again.

Two hours later.

"We're rich! We're rich!" In the cave, Chun Xiaobai grinned from ear to ear, unable to close his mouth.

He was happy not just because he had suddenly acquired over three hundred plump Storage Pouches, but also because he had successfully reunited with his "Second-in-Command" and "Fourth-in-Command."

At this moment, Fang Yuan and Bai Jiner were standing awkwardly to the side. They could never have imagined that after all the trouble, this "luring the prey into the trap" scheme was actually the work of their own Mountain King.

"Mountain King! Mountain King! I knew this setup looked familiar! I guessed it was your doing the moment I saw it!"

Fang Yuan reacted extremely quickly and immediately rushed over. "That's why I risked my life to follow them here, to cooperate from the inside and out!"

Xiao Zhang also saw the "special status" of these two and immediately nodded in cooperation, proving that what Fang Yuan said was true.

Chun Xiaobai put down the Storage Pouch in his hand and glanced at Fang Yuan and Bai Jiner. "How is it? Has anyone bullied you these past few days?"

"Mountain King! You don't know who I, Fang Yuan, am! How could I possibly be bullied?" Fang Yuan immediately patted his full chest, looking smug, as if he had been living a wonderful life these past few days.

"Like I'd believe that." Chun Xiaobai curled his lips. Although Fang Yuan didn't have any injuries on him, looking at his sallow complexion and the exhaustion in his eyes, it was obvious he had been working like a horse for others for several days.

Even the little girl Bai Jiner looked exhausted; she probably hadn't had it easy either. But fortunately, it seemed she hadn't been taken advantage of.

But thinking about it, Wanling Mountain was fraught with danger, filled with Yao Beasts and Devil Heads everywhere; most people really didn't have the leisure for that.

Chun Xiaobai didn't hesitate; he grabbed seventy Storage Pouches from the ground, distributed twenty each to Fang Yuan and Bai Jiner, and tossed thirty to Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang took the thirty Storage Pouches, not only not complaining that it was too little, but looking moved. Although he had expressed his loyalty earlier, he still had some guard up against Chun Xiaobai in his heart.

After all, this was a massive fortune; for anyone else, it would be impossible to let others take it away so easily.

But at this moment, although Fang Yuan and Bai Jiner hadn't made any contributions yet, Chun Xiaobai still generously distributed twenty Storage Pouches to each of them. What did this mean? It meant that in the Mountain King's heart, they were no longer subordinates, but true brothers who could share wealth!

The Mountain King's bandit spirit was a heroic spirit that came from the bottom of his bones! For a moment, Xiao Zhang felt a mix of emotions, so moved that he was a mess, and he opened his mouth to deliver another heartfelt speech.

Fortunately, Chun Xiaobai was quick-witted and waved his hand to interrupt him. "Alright, alright, come over here! Let's discuss how to pull off the next job!"

Having gained experience, this time Chun Xiaobai simply had Xiao Zhang take Fang Yuan and Bai Jiner out together, forming a three-person team to look out for each other.

Eight out of ten Disciples of the Righteous Alliance were cowards, completely incomparable to the desperadoes of Tiansha Valley.

Chun Xiaobai didn't have to worry at all about Fang Yuan and Bai Jiner's Realm being insufficient. Just a moment ago, those so-called "captains" had been scared witless at the sight of the movement afterimages he displayed, scattering and fleeing without even a thought of resistance.

Without the Battle Puppet to back them up, these people were no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered in Chun Xiaobai's eyes. He didn't even need to activate Berserk Mode; he could knock them all down with just his Physical Body.

Having confirmed the details of the plan, Xiao Zhang excitedly led Fang Yuan and Bai Jiner out, sneaking off again under the cover of night.

It had to be said that the fat guy Fang Yuan was truly a talent. With him, a slick guy, providing cover, plus Bai Jiner's pitiful and harmless appearance, by the time the sky was just barely light, they had actually swindled over five hundred people over.

Looking at the sea of heads, Chun Xiaobai couldn't help but twitch his old face. "Holy crap! I told you to go swindle some people, and you actually swindled five hundred for me?!"

However, since they were already here, he felt bad about sending them back. Helplessly, he stuffed his mouth full of Spirit Medicine again, and with the coordination of Xiao Zhang and the other two, it took a full thirty breaths to handle the whole group of guys who were scattering and fleeing.

Five caves! All the caves he could find before were packed full, so Chun Xiaobai had to temporarily carve out a new one on the edge of the cliff to finally properly settle these five hundred "sculptures."

"Hahaha! We're rich!" "Long live the Mountain King!" In the cave, a burst of cheers erupted, sounding like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

Even the usually quiet little girl Bai Jiner was grinning from ear to ear, her pair of watery, beautiful eyes constantly glancing at Chun Xiaobai, intentionally or unintentionally.

Fang Yuan was looking at the mountain of Storage Pouches with a face full of admiration, his heart filled with emotion. "Damn it, this is the correct way to cultivate immortality!"
