Chapter 916: Uncooperative Folks!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, this order was met with strong objections from all around.

“What right do they have to do this?”

“How can we just leave? The Raiders of All But God has taken away the supplies that our sect depended on — if we leave, what would become of these stolen items?”

“We have had so many our items stolen, and now we’re asked to leave — no way, definitely no..”

“Our sect leader has already issued an order, if we don’t bring the goods back, he’ll have our heads lopped off and brought back in a bag. Perhaps you should just kill us..”

“Our..”

“We’re not leaving!”

“We want to stay and have the final battle with the Raiders Of All But God; we’ll not leave even if it means our deaths!”

“If we can’t obtain revenge, we’ll never give up!’

“That’s right, we’re not leaving, even if this means our deaths, we’ll never give up!”

“We will not leave even if this means our deaths. We’ll never give up!”

..

Snippets of similar discussions started to echo endlessly in the vicinity of Swallow’s Hill.

Celestial Luck Banner-wielding high-level practitioners who were gathered here could not help but feel a bubbling rage rising from within their guts.

How can you bunch of lousy eggheads even think of getting revenge?

You folks, who only have a few measly tricks up your sleeves — you deciding to stay behind will cause nothing but even more trouble..

Objectively speaking, Honor Level is considered to be one of the best in the community of the Bound of Universe, but the problem now was that you folks are so much weaker than the bandits themselves..

This is a game where your capabilities will definitely be compared.

The bandits are on a much different level than you folks. Is this a gap that can be compensated by your bloodthirsty, gung-ho attitudes and cheers of support?

In truth, this detail was something that those lowly experts from small sects would not be aware of, but they were certainly aware of this; if we were to withdraw, you would definitely have an easier time going after the Raiders of All But God.. However, after you’ve gotten rid of them, do you even intend to return the goods you salvage from them to us? Do you?

In that case, it’s better if we stay behind as there is a chance for us to hope for a lucky break; why should we retreat to help you accomplish your goals?

Do you think we’re stupid?

We were hoping that both you and the Raiders of All But God will suffer equal losses so that we can seize the ultimate advantage from the situation..

This might be the reality of the future — perhaps we can take this opportunity to gain the upper hand!

Everybody harbored the same thoughts and the same logic. Everybody was hoping for that big break. Each and every one of them was sure that they would be that lucky one. If this was the case, why would they willingly step down?

“Alright then, if you don’t remove yourselves, we’ll help you do that!”

Since these people were adamant on not leaving, the experts of Celestial Luck Banner-wielding sects quickly made a decision after a short discussion.

Do you intend to play the part of the rogue and become gangsters? Are you folks planning to be stubborn and insist on going your way?

Feel free to go all out!

We’re not worried at all.

The Raiders of All but God aren’t going anywhere!

Hence, eight members of Saint Level Two and Three and a few Royal Saints quietly evacuated the place.

This matter was done in complete secrecy — nobody else in Swallow’s Hill knew about it.

Let them all be raided.

Let them all become targets, and we’ll get an even fatter share after we’re done with the Raiders of All But God.

The men before their eyes were from at least ten different sects, bands, and aristocratic families. However, in such a situation, they will not be able to cooperate no matter what, resulting in a bizarre outcome like this.

Such a sight had Xiao Yushu and Gu Jiuxiao folding their hands as they gasped in awe.

“I can’t help but be impressed at that brat Yun Yang; he’s really something!” Gu Jiuxiao heaved a long sigh of admiration. “I’m guessing that he had already anticipated that a situation like this would happen, even before executing the raids.”

Xiao Yushu kept shaking his head. “Most likely that’s what happened.. Or else, he wouldn’t have refused to release every single man he sees, taking even worthless items.. I don’t know if this brat’s ruthless or a plain cheapskate; he couldn’t even keep his hands off a few low-grade spiritual jades. Brother Gu, will you pick them up if you found them on the ground? I sure wouldn’t — I’ll lose too much face by doing that!”

“I wouldn’t either.. Why are you so focused on those details? We have more than five hundred high-level practitioners gathered here in Swallow’s Hill — we have the strength and numbers. If those people can just work as one, the Raiders of All But God will be annihilated even if they have a hundred men on their side.. It’s such a shame that these people harbor their own selfish intentions, for that only gives the Raiders of All But God yet another chance for a raid while making themselves completely helpless towards the enemies they detest the most..”

“A situation like this is truly a pity to look at, a result of Yun Yang’s ruthless raids..” Xiao Yushu sighed. “Yun Yang’s intentions really do have the element of surprise. They are truly awe-spiring.”

Gu Jiuxiao was silent for a moment. “If we were involved and knew about these schemes, would we willingly remove ourselves as well?”

Xiao Yushu was completely speechless.

Never!

No matter what it was, never.

If those with low cultivation bases were to remove themselves, that would indicate that there was no chance at all. Everything would be lost!

Put yourself into someone else’s shoes. You can lie to anybody, but you can’t lie to your own heart. This matter could not be rejected or denied so easily!

..

With the absence of Saint Level experts in town, they practically swiped every target they saw along their path. Whoever they bumped into was practically unable to be free from their fate.

However, Yun Yang was quick to realize the bad side of the rules governing the Bound of Universe, or the parts that seem to gross them out, ‘Raid riches but not lives, take lives but not riches.’

There were many instances where Yun Yang and his men would bump into the same men, again and again, men who were seized upon until they were left with nothing. They didn’t have a single weapon left in hand, and often the only thing they were left with was a piece of undergarment to protect their modesty. Still, they were adamant on staying!

This situation was quickly growing inhumane.

Yun Yang and that brilliant mind of his suddenly came up with an idea.

“The rules only dictate that murder was not allowed, but they never said anything about hurting people..”

Hence, a new proposal was produced in short order, ‘If a past opponent shows up again, he shall be heavily wounded.”

With one swift decision from Yun Yang, these bunch of people might have just landed themselves into hot soup.

“We haven’t met any stubborn mules in the past two days. Those experts must’ve shooed them all away because they were being a nuisance and a laughing stock to them.” Yun Yang snorted. “They plan to have us help them clear this land out. After making sure that they aren’t interrupted by any liabilities and ensuring that they have a clear sight of everything, they will engage all their energy to take us down..”

Lan Ruojun furrowed his brows. “This strategy is pretty vile. If we really do clear this land out, we’ll be the only ones left here. If we don’t clear them out, these people will be eyeing us from the sidelines constantly; we’ll lose our lives with the slightest misstep. These people might not deliver much impact on their own, but if they do join forces for an ambush, it’ll still be quite a threat to us!”

“Also, those experts might have already cleared out of here, but I believe their deific consciousness still lingers. As long as we make a move, we won’t be able to evade their observation!”

“It’s fine! I have a plan!”

“Split up and make a move, let’s put an end to these scum.” Yun Yang decided in a resolute manner.

“Very well!”
