88: Is Chapter 88 coming so soon?

This was a bit puzzling.

If one were to say this was a benefit brought by the Martial God Art, he had only opened the Blood Qi Divine Treasury; he was still a long way off from the Divine Sea Divine Treasury.

Although he didn't understand it, he knew this secret must never be leaked. Otherwise, if those censor officials found out, they might treat him like a lab rat and hang him up to study.

Chun Xiaobai gave a vague grunt of acknowledgement: "Just follow me closely."

Having walked only a few steps, Chun Xiaobai suddenly halted.

Bai Jiner, who was behind him, was lost in thought and didn't notice at all.

As a result, she crashed headlong into his broad back. She felt a great force, and her whole body was sent rebounding backward, landing hard on her bottom.

"Ouch!"

Hmm? What was that so soft?

Chun Xiaobai subconsciously turned back to look, only to find Bai Jiner sitting on the ground with a blushing face, her hands instinctively covering her chest, glaring at him with a mix of shame and annoyance.

"Ahem!" Chun Xiaobai's face flushed as he hurriedly stepped forward to pull her up, not forgetting to take advantage of the situation with his words:

"Third Leader, watch where you're walking. Also, keep your lethal weapons put away; you can't just use them randomly!"

"You!!!"

Bai Jiner's pretty face flushed instantly, turning red enough to drip blood.

Meanwhile, Lin Yue, who was on the side, saw Bai Jiner's shy and delicate appearance and was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Why hadn't she thought of standing behind him?

She glanced at Wu Liang beside her—his face full of fat, looking dull and foolish—and the more she looked, the more she felt like she had been trampled by a pig!

"Alright, alright."

Chun Xiaobai waved his hand, putting on an expression of a man who didn't fuss over small details, then lowered his voice.

"There's a team ahead. Let's go and open for business!"

Open for business!

Hearing these two words, everyone's expression shifted, and their breathing immediately grew rapid.

This was a first-time experience, like a grandmother riding in a bridal sedan!

Is it coming this fast?

"Second-in-Command, Third Leader, keep alert. Everyone else, watch your breath concealment and follow me."

After giving the word, Chun Xiaobai took the lead, using the forest cover to sneak forward.

Soon, he led the group to a small river in a valley, where they discovered a team of people.

This team consisted of about twenty people. Judging by their attire, they should be a group of Outer Sect Disciples, among whom three were at the Foundation Establishment stage, and the rest were at the Qi Refinement Stage.

Moreover, the three Foundation Establishment Disciples were wounded and sitting cross-legged by the river healing, while the rest were processing prey, clearly resting here.

Chun Xiaobai immediately activated the Tongbao Divine Eye.

Good heavens!

Those twenty-five people were all radiating a lush, green aura of wealth!

Time to get rich!

He immediately turned back and whispered the order: "Get ready to work!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a set of black night-traveling clothes and threw them on in a few quick motions.

But when he turned back, he found that Fang Yuan, Li Xuanfeng, and the others were only nervously clutching their Magical Artifacts. Their bright, conspicuous Qingyun Sect Outer Sect Disciple uniforms were extremely eye-catching under the dappled light of the forest.

"Damn it!" Chun Xiaobai almost slapped them.

"I'm telling you, didn't you bring any other outfits? With the skin you're wearing, anyone who isn't blind could recognize you at a glance!"

"Uh..." Fang Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, "That... Great King, we... we didn't prepare things like that."

"If you didn't prepare, then take off these skins! Use something to cover your faces!"

"But... but..." Fang Yuan pointed to his bucket-like waist, "Great King, with my build... I'm afraid I can't hide it, right?"

Everyone took one look at his signature tonnage; indeed, he was more conspicuous without clothes than with them.

"Uh... fine, fine. Just change into something else for now!"

"Yes!" Everyone scattered, took off their Outer Sect Disciple uniforms, and gathered together again.

Meanwhile, Fang Yuan, following Chun Xiaobai's previous instructions, immediately concealed his aura, hid behind a large tree, and began scanning for danger in the surroundings.

Bai Jiner quickly retreated a mile, releasing her Divine Sense to keep watch. Her little face was flushed crimson, though this time it wasn't out of shyness, but nervousness.

This was her first time doing this kind of robbing business. If she were caught and reported to the Sect, how could she ever face anyone again!

Li Xuanfeng and the others were all clutching their weapons tightly, their knuckles turning slightly white.

Chun Xiaobai saw Fang Yuan signal that it was safe, and then looked at the legs of Li Xuanfeng's group, which were shaking like chaff, and his eye couldn't help but twitch.

If it weren't for the fact that he was new here and short on manpower, he really wouldn't want this bunch of trash.

Withdrawing his gaze, Chun Xiaobai observed the terrain, found an angle suitable for an ambush, and then raised his hand and waved.

"Action!"

As soon as the voice fell, he took the lead and cast "Thousand Shadow Steps," merging his aura with the surrounding shadows, silently approaching the riverbank.

Just as he was less than ten zhang away from those twenty people, he suddenly activated "Shrinking Ground to an Inch"!

His figure flashed!

A black shadow, like a ghost, instantly darted through the twenty-five people!

By the time Li Xuanfeng and the others caught up and looked over, their jaws nearly hit the ground.

They saw that everyone by the river had stiffened, as if struck by a Body-Fixing Technique, standing in place like statues.

One guy who had been gnawing on a Yao Beast thigh still had his mouth open, and was being scalded to the point of emitting blue smoke.

Wu Liang hurriedly and considerately ran over, helped him remove the roasted meat from his mouth, and then gave Chun Xiaobai a thumbs-up.

"Great King is mighty! Your speed is just too fast!"

"Uh!!!"

Chun Xiaobai looked at the crowd arriving late and his face darkened. "Damn it, are you guys slacking off?!"

Noticing Chun Xiaobai's disdainful gaze, everyone's hearts tightened; they realized they were purely here to watch the show.

Zhao Gang hurriedly stepped forward and smiled apologetically: "That... Great King, it won't happen next time. This first time... our technique was a bit rusty."

"Fine, I'll take it as you being rusty." Chun Xiaobai snorted. "If you dawdle like this next time, don't blame me for being impolite! Hurry up, clean up the battlefield!"

"Yes!"

They didn't know how to rob, but how could they not know how to loot?

The group swarmed up and started searching the twenty-five "statues."

Soon, they began to mutter in their hearts: what kind of Body-Fixing Technique did the Great King use that was so domineering, capable of freezing so many people instantly?

Meanwhile, Chun Xiaobai immediately released his Divine Sense, taking in every single movement within a twenty-mile radius.

Only after looting everyone by the river clean did he withdraw his Divine Sense, wave his hand, and lead the group to disappear into the depths of the dense forest.

Soon, they appeared in a mountain col a hundred miles away.

Twenty-five Storage Pouches were piled casually on the ground, like a heap of worthless junk, yet everyone crowded around in a circle, staring intently, their breathing rising and falling.

This was indeed much faster for making money than doing any damn Sect mission!
