Chapter 339: A Gentleman Does Not Stand Beneath a Dangerous Wall
To make himself more inconspicuous, Luo Sheng found a black mask among the cards he had previously confiscated and put it on to cover his face.
Afterwards, he quietly left Pingcheng.
He summoned Bai Moxue.
Explaining the situation to her, he said, “We originally planned to use Xu Dongsen to blackmail the Xu family, but unexpectedly, that old woman was too cautious and had already slipped away several days ago. Can you try to sense their presence?”
As Bai Moxue’s level increased, her strength improved and her sensing range expanded accordingly, now reaching about 10 kiloters.
So, Luo Sheng wanted to ask for her help in finding people.
Even if they couldn’t find anyone, any clue would be an unexpected gain.
Bai Moxue smiled gently, “I’ll do my best to try.”
Then she closed her eyes, emitting a powerful aura, and began frantically scanning all living beings in the surroundings.
As an undead-type card, Bai Moxue was extrely sensitive to objects with life, making her very suitable for searching for the Xu family.
After about the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Bai Moxue shook her head lightly, “It’s too clean out here, I can’t find any invading organisms, and I haven’t even seen many animals.”
After all, Pingcheng had recently experienced a great battle.
In that world-destroying battle, everything around Pingcheng had been trampled flat. Not to ntion whether towns remained, even villages had turned into ruins.
A radius of over 10 kiloters had beco flat land, and no vegetation could survive.
So, searching in such a place was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Luo Sheng frowned deeply, “This is quite troubleso. Not being able to squeeze anything out of them is indeed a loss.”
Luo Sheng felt that after being toyed with by the Xu family for so long and even being assassinated, he had to vent his anger sohow.
Moreover, in Luo Sheng’s current view, eliminating the root was the social norm, otherwise, there would be too much trouble like last ti.
In short, Luo Sheng didn’t want to leave any survivors.
Otherwise, going to Yuncheng in the future might bring a bunch of troubles again.
Bai Moxue suddenly suggested, “Darling, why don’t you carry
on your back and chase after them? This way, the search range will be larger.”
“That’s a good idea,” Luo Sheng nodded approvingly.
Without hesitation, Bai Moxue straddled Luo Sheng’s back, her soft, snow-white hands hugging his neck tightly.
Then she closed her eyes, using all her strength to search the surroundings.
Luo Sheng also moved quickly.
With his level increase, his sprinting speed had clearly increased, reaching 300 to 400 kiloters per hour, which was impossible for a normal person.
But for a gold-level Card Master approaching platinum level, it was an easy feat.
Luo Sheng selected Yuncheng on the map and quickly advanced towards that road.
However, after just 5 kiloters, Bai Moxue suddenly called out to him, “This road is wrong. Instead, there are traces of people walking towards the east.”
“This is the way to Yuncheng, are there really no traces here?”
“No, I’ve carefully sensed it, and there are indeed no traces of people walking. There’s not even any lingering scent of living beings in the air.”
“The east road leads to Harbor City,” Luo Sheng pondered for a mont before realizing, “I understand now. They’re using a diversionary tactic, saying they’re going to Yuncheng but secretly slipping away to Harbor City. The old woman of the Xu family is indeed not simple.”
Luo Sheng imdiately changed direction.
He quickly headed towards Harbor City.
Bai Moxue’s sensing was indeed sensitive. After running about 30 to 40 kiloters, Luo Sheng found the tail end of the Xu family.
Or rather, it was a small part that had just departed from Pingcheng.
“It seems that old Lady Xu was prepared, deliberately leaving such a long tail to delay our ti,” Luo Sheng pondered, looking at the long procession.
This tail end of the procession had quite a lot of goods, various large items, but they moved slowly.
Luo Sheng didn’t imdiately take action, continuing to rush frantically towards Harbor City. However, after about 200 kiloters, he had to stop.
Because ahead was covered by a huge otherworld dinsion pollution area that clearly hadn’t been cleaned up.
Luo Sheng could sense that the level of creatures inside was mostly above silver level.
At this ti, Bai Moxue rested her delicate head on Luo Sheng’s shoulder and said, “I sense quite a few people inside, and they’re moving extrely fast. I guess they have insiders guiding them.”
“Then we can only stop here,” Luo Sheng said cautiously.
Because entering an uninhabited otherworld dinsion ant that communication devices would lose signal, becoming an information wilderness.
The other side had guides, possibly Evil Card Master mbers leading the way. Rushing in so recklessly could land him in danger in a matter of minutes.
Therefore, a gentleman does not stand beneath a dangerous wall.
Luo Sheng didn’t plan to go in and fight them, which would be unwise, as that place belonged to the Evil Card Masters’ territory.
“Darling, what should we do then? Just watch them leave?” Bai Moxue tilted her head, looking at Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng nodded helplessly, “That’s all we can do. They’re too clever. I guess they know I could deal with Xu Dongsen, so they must have powerful experts guarding them. That’s why they left first.
But since they’ve left a tail to save themselves, let’s follow their intention and eat up these few tails to make up for so losses.”
“Alright,” Bai Moxue agreed with his approach.
Luo Sheng imdiately turned back, then attacked those Card Masters again who were transporting large items and had been abandoned by their family.
Of course, Luo Sheng was very asured in his actions, not directly killing people but knocking them unconscious and taking them away, planning to package them up and send them to the Pingcheng Guard Bureau.
Throughout the process, Luo Sheng only wore a mask, and no one knew his true identity.
Those family mbers who were used as bait by the family.
Although they weren’t core mbers of the family, they more or less knew about so of the things the family had done.
Because even Xu Xiaoqin could know many things, the others were certainly not naive. After all, without so skills, it was hard to live well within the family.
As for valuable items, they were all taken by Luo Sheng. Fortunately, the gifts old Lady Xu prepared for the tail were indeed generous. Among this pile of goods, he found over 200 card coins.
This greatly enriched Luo Sheng’s pockets. Now, including these gains, Luo Sheng’s pocket held nearly 700 card coins.
This money was enough to buy a vast amount of cards.
The cards Luo Sheng had confiscated, after several rounds of enhancent, had been reduced to just over 270, so purchasing new material cards would be put on the agenda.
With this money, he could recoup so losses.
Shortly after Luo Sheng returned to Pingcheng, he arrived just in ti for the Card Alliance to issue a wanted order, intending to arrest old Lady Xu.
Unfortunately, she had already run far away, and they could only catch so small fry.
When officers rushed into their mansion, they could only find it empty, with nothing left behind. Everyone ca up empty-handed.
However, Luo Sheng had already secretly packaged the people and sent them to the Guard Bureau.
All at once, the lobby of the Guard Bureau was crowded with people.
The guards at the Guard Bureau were surprised and interrogated these people overnight.
Subsequently, they indeed obtained quite a few secrets.
For instance, the family cooperated with the assassination departnt of the Evil Card Masters, cultivating many suicide squads and assassins. They also had entanglents of interests. These secrets were enough for old Lady Xu to be arrested many tis over.
But everyone knew this was just the tip of the iceberg. To investigate deeper, without catching the main culprits, secrets would always remain hidden.
Of course, what terrified everyone was that the infiltration of the Evil Card Master organization was already so horrifying. In just a short year, two major families had fallen into it one after another.
Such infiltration power was extrely terrifying, aning that the entire Pingcheng might be filled with sleeper agents of the Evil Card Masters.
Many people kept speculating that there should be more than just these two families in Pingcheng.
They could only continue to interrogate Xu Dongsen.
Luo Sheng had just returned to the villa.
Several mbers from the Guard Bureau ca to knock on the door, “Hello, Mr. Luo, we have so questions we’d like to ask Miss Xu Yourong, because a major incident just occurred.”
These Guard Bureau mbers had no idea that it was Xu Yourong who had sent Xu Dongsen to them.
They were just conducting routine inquiries.
Luo Sheng smiled and nodded gently, “Of course, no problem.”
Then he gently called Xu Yourong out.
At this ti, Xu Yourong pretended to have just woken up and walked out, feigning a nervous look when faced with the Guard Bureau mbers’ questioning.
A Guard Bureau officer first reassured her, “No need to be too nervous, we’re just conducting routine inquiries. If you haven’t done anything wrong, no one will co to arrest you.”
Xu Yourong nodded lightly.
Then the officer began to ask, “What was the reason you left the family?”
“Because they wanted to control , or rather, they wanted to control every mber of the family, signing unequal contracts, making every mber a slave to the family,” Xu Yourong explained briefly.
So officers looked at Xu Yourong with strange expressions.
They probably thought these family mbers didn’t live better than ordinary people, always at risk of having their freedom restricted by others.
Another female officer kept recording what Xu Yourong said, occasionally looking up at her.
Then Xu Yourong pretended to ask with a bewildered face, “May I ask what exactly happened to the Xu family?”
The officer who had questioned her earlier explained, “Oh, it’s like this. Today we received information that your family… uh… I an, the Xu family colluded with the Evil Card Master organization. After our investigation, we can indeed prove that they had such tendencies.”
Then the officer routinely asked a few more questions.
Xu Yourong answered them one by one, but tried to distance herself and individuals from the family as much as possible, so as not to be implicated.
She even told these officers that only the high-level mbers of the family could make decisions, and low-level individuals like them had no rights at all.
They could only accept what fate had in store for them.
However, Xu Yourong also casually ntioned a point, “By the way, I did hear so news that the main family in Yuncheng had also been involved in so things, but I’m not clear about it. I only know a little, they might also be connected.”
Xu Yourong took the opportunity to deflect the suspicious gazes of everyone towards the Xu family in Yuncheng.
The team mbers showed a hint of oddity on their faces, but still smiled and said, “Okay, thank you for your cooperation.”
After they left.
Luo Sheng pondered on the side, “Judging by their expressions, I’m afraid that kind of colossal entity is not sothing an ordinary person can move against.”
Xu Yourong also nodded lightly, “Indeed, such a giant family in a big city does have that kind of ability. A small city like Pingcheng can’t do anything to them, so it won’t be easy for us to bring them down.”
