Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

"Heh, so be it. I've finally seen your true colors."

Some people cursed Gan Xiaozhi, while others pleaded in a low voice.

However, their struggles were in vain. Neither kind words nor harsh ones could change the final outcome. These people must all die here. Seeing this, the others turned deathly pale.

Knowing too much that they shouldn't know is of no benefit to them.

There was absolutely no chance of survival; there was no possibility of being alive.

For the Blood Moon Organization, wounded members were worthless. Moreover, such internal strife must not be allowed to set a precedent. Since it had happened, it was necessary to kill one to warn a hundred, to deter others. After eliminating these traitors, Gan Xiaozhi knelt down before Lu Xiu with a thud, sincerely pleading guilty: "Boss, I am guilty for what I did."

"You are indeed guilty, but there are extenuating circumstances."

"You killed traitors who betrayed their comrades, therefore you are exempt from punishment."

"This is what happens to traitors."

"I hope you all learn from this. We are brothers who have shared life and death. Why did it have to come to this? A mere illusion has scared you out of your wits. Don't you even have that much courage?"

He had seen everything that everyone had done.

They watched helplessly as their companions killed each other, yet no one dared to step forward and stop them.

"We understand, boss. We will never do anything to betray our brothers again. Please believe us, it was just an accident." Many people rushed to express their support.

Even those who were slow to react joined in.

"The boss is right, traitors don't deserve to live."

"Even if Gan Xiaozhi doesn't lift a finger, I will deal with them myself."

"These people have gone too far; they don't value brotherhood at all."

Everyone can say nice words.

Anyway, you don't have to take responsibility for saying nice things.

We must invite several highly skilled masters.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.

This thought grew stronger in Lu Xiu's mind.

That night, he took Gan Xiaozhi to visit a Buddhist monk.

“Situ Ran is the most famous master in the area; he can definitely solve this problem.”

"I believe in his abilities."

Gan Xiaozhi said with great conviction.

This was information he obtained after making inquiries from various sources.

"Situ Ran? Just from the name, he seems extraordinary. If he can truly help me, I will certainly support him handsomely in the future. Anything that can be solved with money is nothing." Lu Xiu's words carried a hint of arrogance.

Money can indeed solve most problems.

But not everyone is driven by profit.

Masters like these naturally possess a proud spirit.

If not given enough respect, the master may not be willing to help.

Offending such a powerful person has serious consequences.

Gan Xiaozhi, worried that Lu Xiu might offend Situ Ran, reminded him in advance: "Boss, we should still show respect to this master. There are very few people like him here, and he doesn't just value money. If we offend him, we might have trouble in the future." He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

"I understand all of that. Capable people naturally have their tempers."

"Do you think I'm someone who doesn't know how to treat talented people with respect? I've always treated talented people as honored guests." Lu Xiu didn't take it to heart; he would naturally give such rare talents enough respect.

He, Lu Xiu, is not a fool.

Moreover, he believed that as long as the price was high enough, Situ Ran would definitely work for him. People in the martial arts world are all after money; if it weren't for money, why would they bother showing their faces in public?

As for that nonsense about accumulating good deeds,

He didn't believe it at all.

"Boss, I was overthinking it."

"I knew the boss wasn't a narrow-minded person." Gan Xiaozhi flattered him again without hesitation. Lu Xiu didn't take these compliments to heart.

He's not in the mood to listen to any of this right now.

We arrived at a rather impressive villa.

Looking at the luxurious mansion in front of him, Lu Xiu's eyes flashed with doubt.

Are all masters these days so unassuming? Shouldn't they be living in dilapidated huts deep in the mountains? This is different from what he imagined; this master is far too worldly.

"Could he be very rich? Is the ten million we brought enough?"

He suddenly felt a little less confident.

Upon hearing this, Gan Xiaozhi's lips twitched slightly.

"Don't worry, boss, ten million is no small sum. He'll definitely help if we ask. I've heard he's always wanted to cooperate with our Blood Moon Organization, and he'll help even without money, so please rest assured."

Gan Xiaozhi's words made Lu Xiu feel even heavier.

It seems that this Situ Ran is no ordinary person.

His desire to join the Blood Moon organization speaks volumes.

Why would an ordinary martial arts practitioner want to join the Blood Moon Organization?

The Blood Moon Organization is not a respectable group.

"Since he wants to cooperate with us, there shouldn't be any problems this time."

Lu Xiu stopped thinking about it.

"Mei Zhongyi has completely disappeared. I suspect he has met with some misfortune."

On his way to visit Situ Ran, Gan Xiaozhi had a bad feeling.

Mei Zhongyi has not replied to the message.

They have likely already suffered the consequences.

Mei Zhongyi was never seen in the underground kingdom.

I didn't pay much attention to it at the time because of the urgency, but now it does seem suspicious. If I'm not mistaken, there must be enemies lurking in the underground kingdom.

Lu Xiu remained silent.

In fact, he had expected this.

That's why they were in such a hurry to leave the underground kingdom.

“If he really dies, I will make proper arrangements for his family. Now is not the time to think about these things.”

"Lu Xiu said."

He was fairly kind and righteous to his subordinates.

At least they didn't ignore Mei Zhongyi's family.

Hearing his boss say that, Gan Xiaozhi said no more.

Secretly, he was overjoyed that Mei Zhongyi was no longer there.

His position by the boss's side will undoubtedly be unmatched in the future.

"You two have been troubled for a long time, haven't you?"

Situ Ran sat upright in the magnificent golden hall.

Before him was a faceless golden Buddha statue, draped in a kasaya and with prayer beads around its neck. Its dignified appearance made it seem more like an enlightened monk than a heretic.

"This is the evil master you were talking about?"

Lu Xiu asked Gan Xiaozhi in a low voice.

I have a feeling I've chosen the wrong person.

The person in front of me doesn't seem like a heretic at all.

"That's right, it's him. Don't worry, boss, I've done my research beforehand."

Gan Xiaozhi had no doubt that he knew Situ Ran's background.

Don't be fooled by his seemingly respectable appearance; he is actually dishonest.

After calmly glancing around,

Lu Xiu said to the master, "You knew we would come? Then you should know our purpose. We're dealing with Taoist priests from China, and they're not easy to deal with."

"If you feel you're not up to it, say so as soon as possible."

"We'll find someone else who can help."

Lu Xiu showed no respect whatsoever to the other party.

He wanted to first dampen Situ Ran's arrogance.

Situ Ran remained unperturbed by Lu Xiu's suppression.

"I wouldn't dare say I'm absolutely certain of defeating him, but in this southern border region, if I can't do it, no one else can either."

Situ Ran is indeed very capable.

Capable people are usually proud of themselves.

He dared to say that because he was the most powerful sorcerer in the area.

"Don't worry, boss, I know Master Situ Ran's abilities."

"I can definitely handle that guy from China; the master's skills are absolutely reliable."

The atmosphere was getting increasingly tense.

Gan Xiaozhi quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

The awkwardness in the air vanished instantly.

"That's roughly the situation."

Next, he recounted the events in detail.

After listening to Lu Xiu's account, Situ Ran's expression turned solemn.

He knew he had indeed encountered a formidable opponent this time, and without thorough preparation, he could easily suffer an unexpected defeat. However, this wasn't China; this was his territory. "If this were China, I truly wouldn't be so confident."

"But here, I have an 80% chance of winning."

"I might not be able to deal with him alone, but this is our home turf. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake; he's destined to lose on our turf."

"We can use our numerical advantage to deal with him."

The master, who was solemn and dignified just a moment ago, now looks exactly like a bandit.

His speech lacked any semblance of Buddhist discipleship, instead displaying the air of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and outlaws) bandit.

"Give me two days. I'll contact my fellow disciples and we'll deal with this kid from China together. I refuse to believe that the five of us can't take him down."

Dealing with this kid shouldn't be a problem.

He was confident that the five of his fellow disciples working together would be enough to deal with Lin Beichen.

Hearing Situ Ran's confident assurance, Lu Xiu smiled.

If Situ Ran had said he could handle the opponent alone, he wouldn't have been so sure. But now that Situ Ran was asking his fellow disciples to join him, the success rate was obviously much higher.

Although Lu Xiu was unsure of Situ Ran's skill level,
As a layman, he didn't understand these things, but he agreed with one of Situ Ran's statements:

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake; this place ultimately belongs to the Blood Moon Organization.

Within one's own sphere of influence, why should one fear outsiders?

"Senior brother, I have a job offer that I'm open to. I'm wondering if you'd be interested. The pay is quite substantial."

"Our eldest brother has already agreed to come, and our fourth brother will also be there. Now we're just waiting for our fifth and sixth brothers."

Situ Ran was the third in his sect.

He immediately started making phone calls.

Even though he had only made the first phone call, he lied and claimed that both the eldest and third junior brothers had agreed.

He then called the other fellow students, claiming that everyone else had agreed to participate.

Now it's up to you whether you come or not.

Witnessing Situ Ran's actions.

Lu Xiu couldn't help but slightly open his mouth.

It seems that this Situ Ran is not only highly skilled, but also extremely cunning.

Such a cunning person should have no problem dealing with those people in China.

Perhaps only one or two people from China will come. Faced with overwhelming numerical superiority, they have no reason to lose. Having grasped this, Lu Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief.

He never really cared about the interests of the Blood Moon Organization.

They are more concerned about their own lives.

No matter how much money you have, it's all in vain if you don't have the fortune to enjoy it.

The key is to ensure that lives are not in danger.

"A generous reward? What is the exact amount?"

Two million? You dare call that a generous sum?

"A mission that requires all of us brothers to work together is only worth two million?"

"What? Two million each? That makes sense. Okay, I'll set off immediately."

Wealth can move mountains.

Money can make the world go round.

Isn't their line of work all about money?

The price offered by the roadside rest area this time is indeed tempting.

He wasn't short of money; he just wanted someone to deal with the Chinese.

"Alright, my fellow disciples and I will arrive tomorrow."

……

The phone hangs up.

Situ Ran said to Lu Xiu:

"Did you hear that? My fellow disciples and I will be arriving tomorrow."

"Let's wait a day or two; that way, we can be absolutely certain of success."

Don't be fooled by Situ Ran's confident demeanor.

In reality, he was a coward who only sought to play it safe.

If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. His arrangement was the safest.

"Sure, waiting a day or two won't hurt."

"Just make sure it succeeds."

"I'll pay this ten million upfront, and there will be a greater reward after the matter is completed."

He was unwilling to say more.

Ten million was transferred directly.

The intention was to stabilize Situ Ran's position.

As for his other fellow disciples, they were none of his concern.

Let them discuss and distribute the compensation themselves. Even if Situ Ran wanted to double-cross them, he didn't care. He only wanted to deal with the people from China; he had no interest in other trivial matters. Besides, they were fellow disciples; they wouldn't turn against each other over money.

Lu Xiu thought to himself.

In reality, this overestimated Situ Ran's character.

Situ Ran did not expect Lu Xiu to pay directly.

The huge sum of money almost made him lose control.

He even considered absconding with the money, but he knew this was unacceptable. If he did, he would likely meet a gruesome end. The Blood Moon Organization was no benevolent organization; the consequences of taking money and not delivering would be unimaginable.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Since Boss Lu Xiu values ​​me so much, I will definitely not let you down." He had already put away his arrogance and directly addressed Lu Xiu as "Boss".

This person is definitely very wealthy.

Following a big shot like this will never be a bad thing.

If I can get a few more orders, I can probably retire early.

……

"We can proceed to the next step: execute the decapitation plan."

Lin Beichen stared at Norasuke and said seriously.

"As a professional assassin, you're better at this than I am."

"Professional matters should be handled by professionals."

These words made Noryusuke uneasy.

He was worried that Lin Beichen was going to push him into a fire pit.

He certainly didn't believe his assassination skills were inferior to Lin Beichen's.

However, there are bound to be risks when traveling in unfamiliar territory.

"You are now in command. The intelligence has been gathered, and you are now fully responsible."

Noryusuke, who had been muttering to himself just a moment ago, was stunned upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, Lin Beichen made this decision.

They actually handed over command to him.

This was completely unexpected.

Lin Beichen trusted him so much.

You have to understand that he is, after all, a Japanese.

Their status in Lin Beichen's heart was naturally not as high as that of Zhang San and Yu Feng.

But Lin Beichen actually said such a thing.

For some reason, a warm feeling of being trusted welled up in his heart.

"Since Brother Lin Beichen trusts me so much, I will certainly live up to his expectations."

"With my abilities, while I cannot guarantee that decisions will be perfect, I will certainly not..."

Norasuke then explained his idea in detail.

Based on years of assassination experience, the best plan was devised.

Seeing how focused No Ryosuke was, Lin Beichen secretly admired him.

The professionals were indeed extraordinary; this person truly possessed exceptional abilities, and I hadn't misjudged him.

Lin Beichen still had some trust in Nora.

To be precise, he had confidence in his divination skills. By observing facial features and interpreting auspicious or inauspicious divination results, he could determine whether Norasuke would betray him.

Yu Feng was secretly amazed.

He originally harbored resentment towards Norasuke.

But since Brother Lin Beichen had spoken, he naturally wouldn't object.

Although unwilling, the opponent's assassin skills were indeed professional.
But Yu Feng didn't believe that Noryusuke's wisdom was necessarily superior to his own.

However, witnessing Nora's meticulous arrangements, he couldn't help but admire him secretly. It seemed that Brother Lin Beichen had a deeper meaning in having Nora devise the plan.

This kid is really something.

"Good, I approve of you."

Yu Feng adopted an attitude that said, "You've earned my approval, kid." (End of Chapter)
