Chapter 360 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
As Hei Xiazi spoke, he followed Cheng Feng toward the camp that was being set up.
"Besides the three initially chosen, which other forces have participated?"
Since Hei Xiazi said that, the team must have expanded, and Cheng Feng also needs to know who is thinking such a foolish thing.
Upon arriving at the campsite, Cheng Feng sat down on the grass, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and tossed the cigarette case to Hei Xiazi.
Hei Xiazi didn't rush to light a cigarette. He first offered one to Zhang Qiling and Wu Sansheng, and then lit one for himself.
He then casually put the cigarette and lighter into his pocket.
That bastard, he's gotten so used to the smoke from the wind that he's been following the flow.
Exhaling the smoke from his mouth, Hei Xiazi began to explain the extra teams that had joined the group.
First, within the Nine Gates, besides the Wu and Xie families initially chosen, Chen Pi Asi also sent a team.
However, he did not attend in person.
The Huo family did the same, sending a high-ranking member of the family to lead the team.
The Li family, one of the Nine Gates, was not to be outdone. Ignoring Zhang Rishan's advice, the current clan leader personally led the team to participate in this operation.
The number of people within the Nine Gates alone is nearly seventy.
Besides the members of the Nine Gates, there are also some smaller groups whose identities and influence are unknown. These groups range from three to five people to as many as six or seven.
When taken together, they constitute a considerable force.
In addition, there were the people brought by Qiu Dekao and Cheng Feng's Xieling.
The total number of people involved in this operation was nearly 150.
If so many tomb raiders gathered together and all died at the Second Great Tomb of the World, the authorities would be laughing all the way to the bank.
"This is my fault. I failed to maintain secrecy when communicating with various forces, which has led to the team becoming even more mixed in composition."
Wu San said, his voice tinged with helplessness.
He really did his best this time, but unfortunately, the Nine Gates were like a leaky sieve, with too many spies for him to handle.
"It's not a big problem. I estimate that most of these people won't even make it to the entrance of the Second Mausoleum Under Heaven."
Cheng Feng didn't care at all. This was just a matter of natural selection; those who were just there to make up the numbers would easily be swept away by the slightest storm.
Only the last remaining ones will have the real chance to touch the soil of the Second Great Tomb in the World.
"In short, be careful, and don't let yourselves be caught off guard."
Wu Sansheng gave a warning out of concern.
Cheng Feng smiled without saying a word, and Wu Sansheng didn't say anything more either. He got up and left.
After Wu Sansheng left, Hei Xiazi spoke slowly, "The Wu family and the Xie family have used their hidden resources this time."
I've observed all the people who came; they're all experts in this field.
"I just hope that these two companies won't be completely ruined after this."
As the two were talking, a middle-aged woman walked over with six young women dressed in black, all with high ponytails.
"There are nineteen people from the Huo family this time, all of them are women."
Black Bear stubbed out his cigarette and said in a low voice.
Cheng Feng nodded slightly.
Soon, the middle-aged woman arrived in front of Cheng Feng and the others.
She wore a fake smile, her gaze sweeping across the faces of the group, lingering briefly on Cheng Feng and Huo Ling.
Seeing that she was standing there without saying anything, Cheng Feng and the others ignored her.
The middle-aged woman's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.
"Xiaoling, it's been so long, you don't even recognize your aunt anymore?"
Huo Ling glanced at her, her face showing no unusual expression, as if she were facing a stranger.
"If you've come seeking refuge, then behave yourself and follow orders. If you're here to claim kinship, then leave. We have no family ties whatsoever."
A cold sentence came from Huo Ling's warm little mouth, showing no respect whatsoever to the person who called herself her aunt.
Even the most shrewd middle-aged woman's smile froze this time.
"We're all family, why say such hurtful things?"
The woman glanced at Cheng Feng, suppressing her anger, and began to speak in a softer tone.
"I've made myself perfectly clear."
After replying, Huo Ling didn't even glance at them, and turned to chat with Ah Xiang.
The middle-aged woman stood awkwardly in place. Although her relationship with the main family was strained, she never expected that Huo Ling, a junior, would be so disrespectful.
But she was wary of Cheng Feng and dared not retaliate.
Just as she was about to slink away, a woman behind her spoke coldly:
"This is the patriarch's daughter. She has no manners whatsoever. No wonder she's someone's concubine."
It’s over.
The middle-aged woman's heart skipped a beat.
The next second, an invisible blade ripped through the void, and before anyone could react, a head rolled to the ground.
The blood in the arteries sprayed out like a fountain, instantly drenching the women.
"Ah ah ah..."
A terrified scream rang out, and the other women who had been smiling mockingly broke down in their guard.
The middle-aged woman swallowed hard, her legs trembling, and she didn't even dare to wipe the blood streaming down her face.
"roll."
Cheng Feng spoke in a light tone, but his words struck the hearts of several women like a heavy hammer.
The next second, they ran away in a panic, as if chased by wolves. Some of them collapsed to the ground due to their weak legs, and others crawled forward on their hands and feet.
All I want to do is leave this place.
At this moment, all the various forces that had been secretly observing the scene were filled with trepidation, and some with ulterior motives were even thanking their lucky stars.
Fortunately, some pioneers took the lead, otherwise they might have become the ones creating the human fountain.
Cheng Feng's actions not only shocked the group of tomb raiders, but also surprised Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling.
"Poor girl, she's become a prop for the boss to make an example of. Let's go clean her up."
At this moment, Hei Xiazi sighed.
The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect stepped forward without changing their expressions and began to collect the woman's body.
The old fox Hei Xiazi quickly understood Cheng Feng's intention; the forces here were now mixed.
Many people who lack the necessary understanding don't realize how terrifying Cheng Feng is. By killing this chicken, Cheng Feng solidified his position within the team.
That means whoever provokes you will die.
"She got off easy; she didn't die in the Second Great Mausoleum in the World."
Cheng Feng's voice eased the girls' somewhat distressed mood a little.
They weren't blaming Cheng Feng; it was just a natural reaction to seeing one of their own die in front of them.
"Honey, could you please not be so brutal next time? It's making me feel nauseous."
Huo Ling covered her mouth and nose; the smell of blood in the air made her feel nauseous.
"I did this so that her passing would be as painless as possible; true cruelty is cutting flesh with a dull knife."
As they were talking, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect had already moved the body away, leaving only the red blood, like dewdrops, on the grass.
"Let's find another place to rest; the smell here is too strong."
Chen Wenjin stood up as she spoke.
After Cheng Feng and the four women got up and left, Zhang Qiling said quietly:
"She shouldn't have died."
Black Bear chuckled softly, "In our line of work, no one is immune to death. Dumb Zhang, you've lived for so many years and you're still so naive."
Zhang Qiling remained silent, staring intently at the blood droplets on the small blade of grass.
