Chapter 826: Retreating Successfully
After eliminating the second person, it was yet another great harvest.
Jiang Feng and the others then returned to Yin Mei’s room.
“Who’s next?” Jiang Feng asked her once they were back in her room.
Yin Mei then said, “The next person is called Erdan. He’s part of Jubao Pavilion’s management and lives in the courtyard behind the Jubao Pavilion. I suggest that you just go and kill him. I can’t show myself because I haven’t had much interaction with him.”
“Fine. Help us guard the entrance leading to the courtyard. This is my Squadron’s Emblem. Join my Squadron and then you can communicate with me through the voice chat.” Jiang Feng nodded as he took out a Squadron Emblem and handed it to her.
Yin Mei accepted the badge and immediately joined the Huaxia Squadron without any hesitation.
“Huaxia Squadron? You’re the Squadron that managed to clear the Mirror Image Secret Map?” Yin Mei looked at the Squadron’s name.
When they managed to clear the Mirror Image Secret Map, the system only announced the name of Huaxia Squadron, it did not announce the names of the members. That was why Yin Mei did not know that Jiang Feng was the captain of the Huaxia Squadron. While she was surprised, it was not completely out of the realm of possibility.
“Right. We’re short on time, we should go.” It was already 6 o’clock in the morning. They were indeed short on time. After nodding, he then left with Feng Qingyang and Kalosi with Yin Mei behind them as they headed outside.
Once they were on the first floor, they then turned into a side chamber. There was an Appraiser in this side chamber, and he would appraise the value of all the items that they collect.
Yin Mei was the one who opened the door. Once she opened the door, Jiang Feng then walked into a corridor that was headed directly to the courtyard.
Meanwhile, Yin Mei took some things out for the Appraiser to appraise.
Once they had reached the courtyard, they then saw Erdan sitting under a tree looking at a bunch of scrolls with his breakfast next to him while working on something.
The three of them covered their feet with their Inner Chi to carry their weight so that they would not attract his attention. Once they were behind Erdan, the three of them immediately attacked.
“Now!”
Two Earth Souls, a Black Pill, two swords, and two daggers immediately attacked him from behind.
“Who’s there!” Erdan yelled as he immediately activated his Chi Shield after sensing the Inner Chi behind him.
But the moment he yelled out, his Chi Shield was immediately broken as an Earth Soul and Black Pill entered his body. One of the swords pierced through his head, immediately killing him.
All players that entered the game using their real bodies could be instantly killed as long as their heart or head had been destroyed. Attacking the throat was useless, as they could still use their Inner Chi to provide health to their body and used Rare Treasure to heal.
After killing Erdan, Jiang Feng then took down a ring from his finger, and then put all the information that Erdan was working on into his Golden Dragon Ring.
“Go, kill the next one!”
After they had picked up everything, the three of them then returned to the Side Chamber. Yin Mei was arguing with the Appraiser about something before abruptly leaving the chamber, leaving behind a confused Appraiser.

“The last person is this shop’s manager. He is right in front. There are too many people in this room, I won’t go with you this time,” They did not return to their room and immediately discussed using the group chat.
Yin Mei was not going to follow this time as it was too dangerous.
Jiang Feng then said, “Wait for us at the Western Lake in Yanmo City. We’ll gather there.”
Yin Mei nodded and said, “Alright.”
After Yin Mei had left, Jiang Feng then said to Kalosi, “You should go too and wait for us there.”
Kalosi then said, “No. I can still help you here by attracting some enemies’ attention.”
Feng Qingyang then said, “You should go first, Kalosi. You are too weak, and once the fight begins it’ll be difficult for you to escape.”
“Alright, be careful you two.” Kalosi glanced at Jiang Feng before leaving.
There was only Jiang Feng and Feng Qingyang left.
They did not immediately attack, but first planned their escape route.
If they were to kill in front of so many eyes, they would no doubt attract a lot of unwanted attention. It might even lead to them being pursued.
Currently, they were at an advantage thanks to the Invisibility Cloak. Once they have done it, all they needed to do was to quickly escape the Jubao Pavilion and meld into the crowd to escape along with the flow of the people toward the Western Lake. Then, they would be fine.
If they were stopped near to the Jubao Pavilion and attract too much attention, they would be in severe danger.
Jiang Feng and Feng Qingyang gathered near the Jubao Pavilion’s main entrance. They observed the surroundings, determined their routes, and then returned to the Jubao Pavilion. They looked at the boss who was working on his accounts at the counter.
The boss was very powerful and had reached Heaven Realm Greater Completion.
If he was not as strong, he would not be able to manage the Jubao Pavilion.
“Let’s go,” Jiang Feng said as he avoided the two workers working at the counter and appeared behind the Jubao Pavilion’s boss. Meanwhile, Feng Qingyang was standing right in front of him across the counter.
“Now!” He said in the group chat as their Earth Souls were released, aiming straight at the boss’s heart.
The boss, who was working on his accounts, suddenly threw up a mouthful of blood as his heart was pierced through by the Earth Soul. He quickly yelled out, “Gah! We’re under attack!”
In the next moment, around eight people who were browsing the shop immediately looked at the boss with their weapons drawn, screening their surroundings.
But the moment they drew their weapons, they then saw a sword appear out of nowhere, piercing into the boss’s head.
“There’s someone here! The enemy is using some equipment to turn invisible! Block the entrance! Do not let them escape!” One of them yelled out, and everyone gathered near Jubao Pavillion’s entrance.
There were also sounds of footsteps coming from the upper levels. All the people staying here were heading downward when they heard the commotion.
When Jiang Feng saw what was happening, he frowned and quickly said to Feng Qingyang, “Run!”
The two of them then took out their swords and rushed toward the five people gathering at the entrance.
They had all activated their Chi Shields and their power level was around Heaven Realm. His Earth Soul could not deal any critical damage to them, and he could only force them back.
His Earth Soul rushed out, rammed into one of them, and threw him away.
Feng Qingyang swung his long sword, forcing the two of them back.
Jiang Feng used Expeditious Steps and quickly rushed out with Feng Qingyang behind him.
At this time, another Jubao Pavilion manager came out and said to all of them, “They have already left. We have to inform the Steward and have him put the city under lockdown. Those two must be the companions of the person who killed by Sheng Tu! We can’t let them leave! Those who kill them will be rewarded 5 million gold pieces!”
When they heard that they could get 5 million, many of the Tianmo Area’s players searched for Jiang Feng and Feng Qingyang with fervor.
Since they could not see them, they tried looking for them by tracing their aura.
Unfortunately, they only managed to pursue them halfway through when even their aura had completely disappeared. In an instant, they could no longer find where Jiang Feng and Feng Qingyang were hiding, and so they had to stop looking for them.
The truth was that Jiang Feng and Feng Qingyang did not disappear. It was because they jumped into a nearby river.
The river was flowing straight to the Western Lake. No one could find them if they were underwater.
