Chapter 108: Proof of Allegiance

Regardless of whether the treasures left behind by Jin Mushen were real or not.

If this matter was exposed at this time, it would definitely be the Shi Family manipulating things from behind the scenes to interfere with public opinion and divert the public’s attention.

After all, persons born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year were in the minority.

Apart from their parents, friends, and relatives who were concerned about the subsequent developments, the others were basically just here to join in the fun and weren’t too serious about it.

Treasures were different!

According to the leaked information, the tomb left behind by Jin Mushen, a change in the underground water level impacted the treasure chamber and brought the treasures to the surface, mixed in the mud flat.

As long as people search the mud, there would be a high chance of picking up treasures.

This was a treasure hunt that everyone could participate in!

Once the news spread, the entire city would be in an uproar. At that time, no one would have the mood to pay attention to those who were born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year.

Digging for treasures on the mud flat would be the right thing to do!

Therefore, Su Jingxing quickly deleted the post and hacked into the back-end of the website where the post had appeared. He blocked the related links and keywords and sent a message to the Stone Annihilation Alliance, asking them to mobilize their forces to resolve the spread of television, radio, and newspapers, cutting off the Shi Family’s counterattack from the source.

This was also an opportunity to gauge how much secular capacity the Stone Annihilation Alliance had.

They had many people, but not many martial artists.

Su Jingxing wanted to see how many people they had and how much power they could unleash.

With him controlling the web, the news of the corrupt official’s treasure was quickly suppressed.

The TV, radio, and newspapers would have to wait.

Since the Shi Family had launched a counterattack, these channels would not be absent.

At night, Su Jingxing was satisfied to discover that the public was still unaware about the corrupt official’s treasure. Everyone was still talking about bloodline martial artists and the dangers of being a girl born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year.

“Good.”

Su Jingxing praised and sent a message to the Stone Annihilation Alliance.

…

Ding!

A notification sounded in the closed office.

The round-faced girl, who was so tired that she had collapsed on the table, subconsciously raised her head to take a look. She immediately cried out in surprise and excitedly said, “The Legend has replied, he said that we did a good job!”

Hu~

Hearing this, the others who had perked up their ears immediately let out a breath. They recovered significantly from their fatigue.

“F*ck, we threw in almost 200 million dollars. If it doesn’t work, we might as well just disband,” the messy-haired man sighed.

“Such a situation must not be made permanent. We used half of our reserves at one go. If we do it again, five years of our savings will be gone.” The bearded man sighed.

“We can earn more money. At most, it will take us some time. Most importantly, for this operation, we have mobilized all the people we can mobilize. These people have basically been exposed now, and we will face the Shi Family’s revenge at any time!”

The oval-faced woman said in a deep voice, “What to do next must be decided immediately!”

“Yes, that’s the most important. Does the Legend have any further instructions?” The man with messy hair asked nervously.

“Not yet.” The round-faced girl shook her head. Then, she whispered, “Do you want me to ask?”

“Let me.” The oval-faced woman stood up and walked forward.

Ding!

A notification sounded.

The round-faced girl turned and gaped.

“What’s wrong?” The oval-faced woman who walked over was puzzled. When she saw the contents of the chat box on the computer screen, her expression also changed.

“What’s wrong? Say something,” pressed the messy-haired man.

The others also wore grave expressions. They stood up and surrounded the screen.

The oval-faced woman took a deep breath and said, “He wants us to kill Shi Yankang!”

What?

Exclamations rose from the crowd.

“What does he mean? Ah, what does this fourth-grade big shot mean? Is he telling us to tempt fate? In order to cooperate with him, we have already exposed most of our people. Now that these people are facing the threat of being killed at any time, he still wants us to kill Shi Yankang. What is the meaning of this!” Someone jumped up and shouted angrily.

“That’s right. Shi Yankang is a sixth-grade martial artist, and he has a group of martial artists in the lower ranks following him every day. We only have one sixth-grade martial artist. Are we going to let Elder Huang perish with Shi Yankang for him?”

“I don’t think it’s that simple. This fourth-grade expert must have other intentions.”

“Other intentions? What other intentions? He just wants to send us to our doom and use our lives to destroy some of the sideline characters of the Shi Family so that he can watch the show from the side!”

“That’s too much. If he’s here to watch the show, would he expose the secret of the Shi Family’s bloodline? And even destroy a base of theirs outside the city?”

“Heh, whether he’s the one who destroyed the secret base still needs to be deliberated.”

“You…”

“Enough!”

A loud roar resounded through the office, suppressing everyone’s clamors.

The man with a hideous scar on his face shouted with a somber look, “Shut up!”

“Look at all of you, look at all of you. He hasn’t even told us the exact plan yet, but you all are already so impatient and agitated that you’re jumping up and down. If we really take action, wouldn’t you all be in chaos!?”

Silence.

The office fell into silence.

After being reprimanded, some people felt ashamed, while others remained indignant.

When the oval-faced woman, the scarred man, and the bearded man saw this, they couldn’t help but sigh.

Although they weren’t quite a disorderly mob, many people in the alliance could not get anything done.

Playing dirty tricks in the dark was no problem, but once they were put in the open to face the Shi Family, their true colors were immediately revealed.

Fear was understandable, but fear was not an issue either.

However, if they were already in a mess before the war even started. What achievements could they talk about?

Destroy the Shi Family?

With such a mentality, it would be better for them to leave Qinghe City as early as possible!

“I understand everyone’s feelings.”

The oval-faced woman took a deep breath and broke the silence. “If you’re really afraid, it’s not too late to back out now and leave Qinghe City.”

“Sister Qian, that’s not what I meant…”

“Do you think that the oath of alliance we issued when we invited you to join us was fake?” The oval-faced woman did not wait for the person to speak before she interrupted coldly, “To destroy the Shi Family, we will not hesitate to die. To destroy the Shi Family, we will not hesitate to die!”

“Back then, you shouted the slogan loud and clear. What about now? Have you forgotten about it? Have you completely forgotten about it?”

The person who spoke blushed and lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

The oval-faced woman did not press him any further. She stared at him for a while before retracting her gaze and looking around at the crowd. She raised her voice and said, “All of us are gathered together because we share the same goal of annihilating the Shi Family. In order to achieve this goal, we have worked hard for the past five years and thought of all sorts of methods. But we are still far from achieving our goal. The reason is that we do not have high-end combat strength and do not have more martial artists in the middle ranks!

“For that, we choose to endure and wait for an opportunity.

“Before today, none of us knew how long we’d have to wait.

“But now he has appeared!

“A fourth-grade expert is willing to cooperate with us to destroy the Shi Family!

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, it might never come again.

“Perhaps everyone is curious as to why that fourth-grade expert wanted us to kill Shi Yankang?”

“The reason is simple.. He wants us to show proof of our allegiance!”
