Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 160: Scapegoat (1)


The troops led by Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong were hiding at the entrance of the Cave of the Immortals when the bandits started to move several chests out of the cave. So, Yan-Yu contacted Tong-Kuang immediately to see what he needed to do…

When Yan-Yu got confirmation from Tong-Kuang to attack the caravan, he led the troops in immediately. The attack stirred the bandits badly. Some of them prepared to fight, but some of them prepared to escape…

Those who were scared felt scared because they heard about the horrible things that happened at the toll booth that boss Pu-Jee oversaw. They heard that no one survived. Even though the bandits thought that they were savage, they thought that what happened at the third toll booth was more savage…

"Attackers! Attackers!" One of the people at the caravan shouted instantly after he got back to himself…

However, it was too late. Yan-Yu, Ji-Zhung-Gong, and the troops approached them far too close for them to prepare better. Then, the fight began. The sounds of swords and weapons clashing with one another echoed all over the place. Not long after that, most of the people who accompanied the caravan were dead…

"Yah!"

"Kill them all! Don't let anyone leave!" Ji-Zhung-Gong shouted while showing his teeth with utmost confidence…

"Yah!"

The warriors started to shout out of confidence too when they heard Ji-Zhung-Gong. They killed the bandits at the caravan like hungry wolves…

"Yah!"

Stab! Stab! Stab!

Blood was spilled all over the place. The smell of it was completely disgusting. From a hundred bandits that accompanied the caravan, they were down to less than 10. Those bandits, who ran away, were killed by the warriors that were hiding in the forest…

Stab! Stab!

Finally, the last bandit at the Cave of the Immortals was killed, lying beside his bandit fellows on the ground. The caravan was surrounded by bandits' bodies with blood all over them. Yan-Yu did not lose any men in the fight. Some of them got badly injured though…

"Open the chests and check! Quick!" Yan-Yu did not wait to order the warriors to check what was in the chests on the carriages…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

All chests were forced open at the same time. When the warriors saw what was in the chests, they had to widen their eyes and shout the same thing at once…

"The Qi energy stones!"

When Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong heard that, they let out a delightful smile. Then Yan-Yu contacted Tong-Kuang to update the situation and told him that what was in the chests were indeed the Qi energy stones…

"You guys did well today! After this mission, I'll buy everyone a drink!" Yan-Yu said while smiling happily because he just successfully seized about 10 thousand lower-level Qi energy stones. Not only that, he got about a hundred mid-level Qi energy stones too. It was a pretty success…

"Yay!"

"Thank you very much! I'll drink your booze away!" One of the warriors said with a joyful smile…

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! We'll drink until we get drunk!" The rest of the warriors said with happiness as well…

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't get too happy so quickly!" Ji-Zhung-Gong, who was looking at the happy warriors, cut in instantly. He tried to calm the warriors down firmly and then said…

"Our mission is not finished yet. We still have the Cave of the Immortals to seize. You guys should not be happy too fast like this. You should wait until everything is done. When it's all done, you'll get to drink my booze too!" Ji-Zhung-Gong said while smiling at the warriors…

"Yah!"

The warriors shouted with joy. They were delighted to hear that from Ji-Zhung-Gong. It was so loud that the bandits who guarded the cave got spooked immediately…

"What's happening? What's that noise!?" One of the bandits exclaimed out of shock and looked around while lifting his weapon to prepare…

The rest of the bandits also got into a prepared position. They all wondered what was going on. But then one of the bandits said with a pale face…

"That is from the caravan that just left!"

When the bandits heard that, their faces turned pale instantly. They knew that there were about a hundred bandits with that caravan. And those bandits' energy levels were higher than them. The bandits at the cave prayed that their fellow bandits who accompanied the caravan were the ones who made that noise. If not, it would be their dooms…

Crackling!

The bandits did not have the chance to finish praying, a sound of a broken twig occurred. Then several shadows appeared with a strong killing intent that moved towards the bandits in front of the cave…

"A…a…attackers!" One of the bandits shouted to alert others as he knew that the shadows were not his friends…

"Yah!"

When the bandit finished the sentence, a troop of warriors dashed at the bandits and killed them violently. Then a big-bodied man with a cloak came out. He had his face covered. The man said…

"Kill them all! Seize the Cave of the Immortals! Hahaha!" The man ordered his men to kill the bandits and laugh with satisfaction…

"Yah!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two opposite troops started to fight and their weapons clashed with one another loudly and continually. More and more people got killed, but most of them were bandits because their energy levels were lower than the opponents'…

"Brother Yan! Look! A troop from elsewhere is attacking the bandits at the entrance of the cave, sir!" One of the warriors rushed to report to Yan-Yu about what was happening at the cave. He was panicked to see what happened…

"A troop from elsewhere!? How could that be?" Yan-Yu exclaimed the questions with confusion…

"Stop thinking! Just go check it out!" Ji-Zhung-Gong, who was next to Yan-Yu, said while patting his back to call back Yan-Yu's consciousness…

"Ugh!"

Yan-Yu choked a bit out of pain and turned to Ji-Zhung-Gong with an angry eye. Then he said, "Chubby! Why did you hit me?" He said angrily and stared at Ji-Zhung-Gong…

"I just want you to get back to earth, pretty boy! You were somewhere else back there." Ji-Zhung-Gong said pretending to be innocent…

"You!"

"Come on! I'm sorry, alright! Just hurry and go check it out!"

"Fine! Wait until I get to do that to you!"

When Yan-Yu finished the sentence, the troop moved toward the front of the cave instantly. Not long after that, they stopped and hid in the forest, 500 meters away from the entrance of the cave. They were just in time to see the mysterious troop fight with the bandits…

"Who are they? I've never seen anyone in those outfits before!" Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong wondered because they had never seen the outfits that those men wore before…

Rustle!

"They're the Ba-Ku tribe, an aboriginal tribe in the Greenland! What are they doing here?" One of the warriors exclaimed out of surprise…

"The Ba-Ku tribe!?"

Yan-Yu turned to look at the warrior who gave the information about the tribe as if he wanted some kind of an answer…

"That's right, brother Yan-Yu! They're from the Ba-Ku tribe. They say they are the ancient killers, extremely savage. Not only that, but it is very expensive to hire them to kill. But what's strange is that they normally work in Greenland. They're hardly seen here.

I'm kind of wondering why they're here." The same man explained further about the Ba-Ku tribe to Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong…

"I see."

"I guess we don't have to kill the bandits now." Another young warrior said out of joy…

"Well, we have to go in and seize the Cave of the Immortals anyway. So, we would get to fight." The other warrior said while turning to look at the man who spoke before him…

Yan-Yu looked at the fight before taking out a communication stone to contact Tong-Kuang. He wanted to know what Tong-Kuang wanted him to do…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The fight showed clearly that the mysterious troop was defeating the bandits. There were about 10 bandits left, while there were a hundred on the other side…

Thud!

"You should give up and die!" The leader of the Ba-Ku men said while staring at the bandit, who was in front of the rest of the bandits, with a pathetic eye…

"Tsk! Bushwhackers like you are not honorable! We, the Mountain Tiger Bandits, are not afraid of you! Why don't you uncover your faces, if you want to fight us?" The boss of the bandits at the cave yelled at the attackers with rage. He held his weapon in one hand and used the other hand to press the wound on his chest…

"Darn it! Bushwhackers!? Someone who is about to die doesn't get to call us that! But before I kill all of you, I'll tell you who we are." The leader of the Ba-Ku men said while smiling with satisfaction and continued to say, "We're sent to kill you by the seventh prince. Hahaha!" The leader of the Ba-Ku men said and laughed crazily…

"The seventh prince!?"

When the boss of the bandits at the cave heard that, his face turned pale instantly. He remembered that the seventh prince was always with the bandits, but now how come he ordered these men to kill them? The guy's face was full of questions…

Yan-Yu, hearing that, got startled as well. Then he rushed to report what he heard to Tong-Kuang. However, Tong-Kuang was aware of that, so he ordered Yan-Yu to pretend to go in to help the bandits…

"What did you say, big brother? Do you want us to help them!?" Yan-Yu asked Tong-Kuang through the communication stone with confusion. No one else heard their conversation…

"That's right, I want you to help them," Tong-Kuang replied immediately with a stern voice…

"Why don't we let them fight and kill each other? We can get in to kill the winner after that." Yan-Yu asked another question…

"You should know better that we don't want the bandits to know who we are. This is a good opportunity to find a scapegoat for us."

"Hmm…"

Yan-Yu let out a cunning smile after hearing Tong-Kuang's response. Now he understood why Tong-Kuang wanted him to help the bandits…

"You got it, big brother! I'll lead our warriors to help them. You can trust me on this." Yan-Yu replied to Tong-Kuang with determination. It seemed like his voice implied something too…
