Evil of all ages

Chapter 124 Sudden changes
“Our Shuanglong Gang has lost a valuable treasure. There are rumors that our lost treasure is in this dilapidated temple.”

"Let the people inside come out so we can check them one by one, or don't blame us for being impolite."

Dai Ma Yun lied.

The Twin Dragons Gang didn't lose any valuable treasures at all; they received information that the White Bone Demon Harp was inside this dilapidated temple.

We've called everyone out now to see if there are any experts among them.

If no experts are available and they manage to find the White Bone Demon Harp, he will definitely kill them to silence them.

To prevent the news that the Twin Dragons Gang had obtained the White Bone Demon Harp from leaking out.

Although the Twin Dragons Gang would not take the White Bone Demon Harp for themselves, but would instead present it as a gift to the Heavenly Dragon Sect in order to board their ship.

But once the news leaks out, they'll probably steal the White Bone Demon Harp before they even deliver it to the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

Therefore, he would never hesitate to kill to silence witnesses.

Even after hearing that the Shuanglong Gang wasn't after him, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) Sun Ping still couldn't relax, after all, Dai Ma Yun had brought too many people with him.

At first glance, they were all experts.

With so many people mobilized, it's unclear whether the Twin Dragons Gang has lost some valuable treasure or wants to obtain something here.

In this desolate wilderness, their lives and deaths were entirely in the hands of Dai Mayun.

Inside the dilapidated temple

When Huang Yunyou heard people outside calling them to go out and check each person, he ignored them completely. He didn't move either, just like Brother Li.

Seeing Huang Taichu's composure, Cheng Zichen and his sister also remained still, since they were the ghostwriters and disliked the gang to begin with.

The elderly and young people remained unmoved.

Because there really is something on those two.

How could they possibly obediently go out and let the Twin Dragons gang check them?

After waiting for a while, Ma Yun became furious when he saw that no one came out of the dilapidated temple.

If you dare ignore him, he'll lose all face.

"If you can't count to ten, I'll have someone set fire to this dilapidated temple."

"ten"

"Nine"

"Eight"

"..."

The countdown to Jack Ma's death is on.

"The rain outside is only slightly less than before. He wants to start a fire, but can he actually get it going?"

Huang Yunyou found it amusing that the other party wanted to set fire to the dilapidated temple, as it was still raining outside.

“If you burn it from the outside, it won’t catch fire. But if he starts burning it from the inside, throwing torches in, this dilapidated temple will be finished.”

After Cheng Zichen finished speaking, he looked at Huang Taichu, waiting for Huang Taichu to express his opinion.

"The rain won't stop, the night is long, and if the dilapidated temple is gone, there will be nowhere to rest."

“In order to save this dilapidated temple, you should go out and see him.”

Huang Taichu said calmly.

The old man and the young man's expressions froze; they understood that Huang Taichu was asking them to leave as well.

"Brother Li, aren't you going out?"

Huang Yunyou saw that Cheng Zichen and his sister got up to leave, so he got up as well, only to find that Brother Li was sitting there motionless.

"Why would I go out to handle such a small matter? I believe you can definitely take care of it."

Huang Taichu could watch the show from inside, so why would he want to go out?

Upon hearing this, Huang Yunyou said nothing more and followed Cheng Zichen and his sister out.

Even if the elderly and young people are unwilling, they have no choice but to obediently go out.

They didn't want to be targeted by Huang Taichu.

Dai Mayun looked at the five people who came out of the dilapidated temple.

Of the three ghostwriters, only the silver-ranked one caught my eye, but he was only at the early stage of the Acquired Realm and posed no threat.

The young man looks quite cold, but he's on par with the silver-medal ghostwriter and nothing to be afraid of.

Upon seeing the old man, Dai Ma Yun was secretly delighted, because the old man was holding a small coffin. Given the size of the small coffin, the White Bone Demon Harp was very likely inside.

However, the old man seemed to be quite strong, which made Dai Mayun look at the three hundred people he had brought.

Suddenly, he was full of confidence. With so many people around, he couldn't possibly outlast the old man who was halfway to his coffin.

However, if you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way. To find the lost treasure, you have to check everything one by one, and also see what each of these people owns.

Let's see if there are any unexpected surprises.

“Chief Escort Sun, since we’ve already paid our respects, you should start.”

Dai Ma Yun said in an unyielding tone.

Sun Ping knew that the Shuanglong Gang wouldn't let the matter rest unless they thoroughly inspected the goods. So he handed them over and allowed the Shuanglong Gang to examine them.

"Head镖师 Sun, open the box in your arms and take a look."

Ma Yun felt that there must be something good inside the box, otherwise it wouldn't be guarded so tightly.

“Chief Dai, this is not in accordance with the rules.”

Sun Ping was afraid that if Ma Yun saw what was inside the box, he would take it for himself.

"If you don't open it, it means you have something to hide. This box might contain our Shuanglong Gang's lost treasure."

Put a hat on Jack Ma.

Sun Ping struggled for a moment, but had no choice but to open the box and reveal its contents.

"This is... a Fire Spirit Mushroom!?"

The box was opened, and the aroma of medicine wafted out. Dai Mayun took a closer look and his face lit up with joy.

There was indeed an unexpected surprise.

This Ganoderma lucidum is clearly a century-old medicinal herb; I just don't know how many centuries old it is.

Apart from the elderly man holding the coffin who remained unmoved, everyone else at the scene was surprised to see the fire lingzhi.

Such a valuable item was escorted by only twenty-odd people, and not many of them were experts. Aren't they afraid it will be stolen?

"Boss Dai, you've inspected the goods and looked inside the boxes. Now, can you let us leave?"

Sun Ping closed the box, wanting to leave this place of trouble.

"What's the rush? You've finished your check-up, but they haven't. Let's talk about it after they've finished theirs."

Upon hearing this, Sun Ping's heart sank. It was clear that they had their eyes on the Fire Spirit Mushroom in his possession and did not intend to let them go.

Seeing Sun Ping's pale face, Dai Ma Yun knew that Sun Ping had figured something out, but who would care what the lamb to the slaughter was thinking?

His gaze passed over the three men who were carrying knives and landed on the old man and the young man.

The three men who were actually carrying the knife didn't look like they were carrying anything valuable.

Dai Ma Yun glanced back and forth at the long box the young man was carrying on his back and the small coffin the old man was holding.

"Old man, open the coffin and let us see."

Anyway, no one here can escape, so Dai Mayun still wanted to confirm whether the information he received was accurate and that the White Bone Demon Harp was here.

The old man didn't speak, and didn't even bother to look up at Dai Mayun. He just stood there motionless, holding the coffin.

"Up"

Seeing that the old man remained unmoved, Dai Mayun sent a few people to test the old man's limits.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"..."

Before the group could get close to the elderly man, an unexpected incident occurred.

A volley of arrows struck, felling some of the people surrounding the ruined temple.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone at the scene completely off guard.

"what happened?"

Dai Ma Yun shouted and asked.

"Chief, it's Liuyun Village. They brought a huge number of people, and we seem to be surrounded."

The members of the Twin Dragons Gang reported in a panic.

"What"

Upon hearing that it was Liuyun Village, Dai Mayun's face darkened.

Both the Shuanglong Gang and Liuyun Village are major forces in this area, with each side having more than two thousand men, and their strength is roughly equal.

However, their relationship was completely irreconcilable; they both wished they could eliminate each other.

Now that he heard that it was the people of Liuyun Village who attacked them, he was not only surprised, but also curious about how the people of Liuyun Village knew he was here.

Could there be a traitor?

Or was the information leaked?
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to think. More people from Liuyun Village appeared nearby and surrounded the three hundred members of the Shuanglong Gang around the dilapidated temple.

"I just wanted to get out of the rain, I didn't expect it to be so chaotic."

Seeing so many people gathered in such a small, dilapidated temple, Huang Yunyou thought to himself, "The martial world is truly chaotic."

"Qian Dengfeng, Tan Yang"

When Dai Mayun saw that the second and third leaders of Liuyun Village had arrived, his mood became extremely heavy.

“Dai Gou, are you surprised to see us?”

The second-in-command, Qian Dengfeng, and the third-in-command, Tan Yang, rode their horses to the front of the group, their faces beaming with smugness.
