After hearing Huangfu Yan's suggestion, Tang Niu wanted to refuse immediately. As a player, he was not afraid of these things. However, after thinking about Huangfu Yan's current unknown strength, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

What he was thinking was to let Huangfu Yan go, just to test the other party's strength. If he died, that would be fine, but if he survived, then he could indeed choose to cooperate with Huangfu Yan and go to the Evil Island to complete the mission of the Enlightened Monk.

Tang Niu bowed to Huangfu Yan and said, "Brother, please be careful!"

Huangfu Yan responded, "Don't worry, no one has ever been able to ambush me."

After saying that, Huangfu Yan jumped off the carriage with a knife in his hand and ran towards the city ahead.

Looking at Huangfu Yan's receding figure, Tang Niu said silently: "I hope I can see you alive again in a while, go."

......

In Yuangao City, a player from the Peerless Gang, who was lying in ambush in a restaurant, asked his companions:

"Old Liu, you said that if we cooperate with the county magistrate, we have to give him half of the money after the job is done. Isn't that a loss?"

"Don't worry about that. The treasures on Tang Niu's caravan are estimated to be worth tens of thousands of taels. Even if we give away half of them, we'll still make a profit."

"What did we gain? We lost so many people, and everyone lost so much internal energy. How can we make up for it with the few small amounts of energy we were given?"

When a player dies in the game, his internal force limit will be reduced.

"I feel like there's no future in this gang. Why don't we just switch jobs?"

"Job change? Where are you going? Among the guilds around here, besides the Imperial Heaven Guild, the best one is the Peerless Gang. The minimum requirement to join the Imperial Heaven Guild is to be a second-rate warrior. I don't think you're at that level yet, are you?"

"So my plan is, after the money from this robbery is divided up, I'll use it to buy some supplements and work hard to improve my martial arts to second-rate. Then I'll leave here. What about you? You don't plan to stay here forever, do you?"

"me?"

"Ah."

"Actually, my plan is similar to yours, but unlike you, I will leave here regardless of whether this robbery succeeds or not."

"Why?"

"The Jueshi Gang has provoked Tang Niu this time. The president has mobilized the entire gang to deal with Tang Niu. If we still lose to him, the entire Jueshi Gang will have no face to continue in this game. Even if we succeed, we will not feel good about it. You should understand this principle, right?"

"Yes, I understand. Tang Niu is ranked third in the server. He's also a lone player and hasn't joined any guild. As long as he gives the order, there are plenty of guilds to help him deal with us."

"It's good if you understand."

"How about we retreat now? After hearing what you said, I don't want to stay here for even a second."

"This won't do. Quitting the club at this time will easily lead to criticism. If word gets out, no one will want us. Do you understand?"

"I understand, but I always feel a chill on my back and want to leave here."

Hearing his companion say this, Lao Liu teased, "Look at you, you're so scared now? The county magistrate gave us 500 archers, 500 archers! They've set up a stealth formation, you know? They say anyone who enters the formation will die. As long as Tang Niu enters the ambush, even if he's the third best in the world, he'll be defeated. What are you afraid of?"

"Of course I know how powerful the secret formation is, but I don't know why. I feel an inexplicable panic, as if my heart has been grabbed by a big hand. Don't you feel it?"

As the player spoke, he reached out and pressed his chest, as if trying to soothe his anxiety.

After his companion finished speaking, Lao Liu also put his hand on his chest, feeling the beating of his heart. Suddenly, his heartbeat became inexplicably rapid: "Hiss, you're right, I also suddenly felt a palpitation. What's going on?"

"Excuse me..."

Just when the two were confused, a voice that did not belong to them appeared on the city wall, causing the two already nervous people to stare at each other in an instant.

This restaurant has been completely booked by the Juesai Gang. Apart from them, there should be no one else here. Who is this?

The two men twisted their necks stiffly and looked towards the direction where the sound came from.

The two turned around and saw a young man wearing an animal skin sweater and holding a cold sword, sitting on the railing of the restaurant, looking at them calmly.

"Where is the county magistrate you are talking about?"

The familiar sword, the familiar clothes, and the handsome face that looked as if it had been cut by a knife, isn't this the Huangfu Yan who had previously killed everyone in Beiji City!

The moment he saw Huangfu Yan, Lao Liu was already typing in the guild to call for help and was ready to escape at any moment. However, his companion still dared to point at Huangfu Yan and ask, "You, you, you, why are you here?"

"Shh, I don't have time to waste with you. I'll count down to three. You'd better answer my question before the countdown ends. Three..."

"two."

At this time, the message had been replied in the guild group. The peerless martial god asked Lao Liu and his companions to find a way to lure Huangfu Yan into the encirclement. So Lao Liu thought quickly and pointed out a place to Huangfu Yan.

"It's there!"

Huangfu Yan took a look at the place where Lao Liu was pointing, and without hesitation, he beheaded him with a single blow.

Seeing Lao Liu being chopped into a spot of light by Huangfu Yan's sword, his companion said unconvincedly:

"Hey, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you everything?"

"call out!"

Huangfu Yan moved the knife in front of him again, and the other party shut up instantly.

Huangfu Yan then spoke up, "Don't think you can trick me. That place is clearly the center of the city's encirclement by all the officers and soldiers. They're secretly setting up a formation. Anyone who enters will die. Don't think I'm afraid of this formation. I just don't want to break it by killing all these people. Tell me the county magistrate's location quickly, otherwise..."

"What else?"

"Otherwise, you'll all die!"

"Hmph, then go ahead and kill me! Don't think that..."

I will be afraid of you.

"?!"

The player's words were cut short before he could finish the second half, because Huangfu Yan had already drawn his sword and killed him.

After killing it, Huangfu Yan spat.

"Humph, you're so tough for not dying! I wonder if you'd still be so tough if I put a knife to you in the real world."

"A secret formation will kill anyone who enters it?"

"If all else fails, then we'll just have to kill them all."

Huangfu Yan looked at the officers and soldiers lying in ambush in the city, and his expression grew increasingly cold.

In fact, after hearing that the county magistrate was cooperating with the Juesai Gang, he immediately searched for the other party's existence.

However, Huangfu Yan did not know the county magistrate, nor did he know what he looked like. Huangfu Yan had no choice but to start from the large houses in the city, hoping to find someone who might be the county magistrate.

But the more Huangfu Yan looked, the darker his face became. There was no owner in the big house in the city, and there was no one in the government office.

It was as if they had received intelligence in advance and all ran out to seek refuge, but the number of pedestrians on the street did not decrease much.

After learning this, Huangfu Yan became even angrier, which is why Lao Liu and the other man felt a chill down their spines just now.

"Although we haven't found the person who ordered the formation, if we find the leader of these officers and soldiers and capture him, we should be able to break the formation, right?"

As Huangfu Yan spoke, he looked at the officers and soldiers lying in ambush in the city, one of whom had armor that was obviously different from the others.

"You should be the leader!"
