Yu Chen pondered for a moment. Under normal circumstances, even if the three Guan brothers were unhappy with Long Qi, it would take some time. However, the White Dragon Tribe would not give her this time. Perhaps the White Dragon Tribe had already arranged for Long Qi to retire in the near future.
After some thought, she decided that she had to speed things up.
Yu Chen's guess was right; Lu Yin would not be satisfied with just the few spies in Yin Mountain City. It was not worth it to expose his true nature. If he was going to do something, he would do it big.
Over the next few days, Lu Yin led his team to patrol the Yin Mountain District even more frequently. Fortunately, the group of hedonistic youths were quite convinced by him after he'd captured the spies, so they didn't cause any trouble. Otherwise, he would have had to patrol with Invisible Light and the other two.
Three days later, Lu Yin captured another spy. This spy was located at the border between Yin Mountain and Huaiyuan. It was considered the border of Huaiyuan, but it still belonged to Huaiyuan.
When Lu Yin captured this spy, the three Guan brothers were extremely dissatisfied with him, but they could not say anything.
Although the Humble Schools of the Middle Plane were divided into nine schools, there was a tacit understanding that they would not interfere with each other and would not capture others' territories. However, that was only a tacit understanding and not an explicit rule. For the entire Humble School, the more spies they captured, the better. The higher-ups did not care who captured them.
Lu Yin's methods became more and more ruthless, and after a few more days, he captured another spy in Huaiyuan. This time, he completely angered the three Guan brothers, but Lu Yin did not care. He was still thinking about how to capture Guan Yun. This guy was not a spy, but a redback.
Capturing a Crimson Back was more meritorious than capturing a hundred spies. A Crimson Back could often develop dozens or hundreds of spies, all of which had been developed for many years. Any Crimson Back who could be developed directly by those monsters was not an ordinary person. At the very least, they had lived for thousands of years. The number of spies developed over such a long period of time was unpredictable.
Even if Long Tian wanted to give Lu Yin some merit, he would not give him a redback. At most, he would help Lu Yin capture a dozen spies.
If he could capture Guan Yun, Lu Yin was sure that he could alert the Nine School Superintendent and even meet her.
On this day, Lu Yin was still patrolling with his team when one of his subordinates returned. He shook the cloudstone and saw a line of words floating in the air. The cloudstone could not only communicate with each other, but it could also display certain images.
Lu Yin was shocked when he saw the line of words. It was actually information on a spy, and more than one at that. "Who gave this to you?"
"I don't know, but it was sent here directly," the subordinate said casually. They were all hedonistic sons of rich families, and although they respected Lu Yin, they weren't too obedient.
Lu Yin looked at the list of spies and wondered if Long Tian had given it to him, but it didn't seem likely. If Long Tian had given it to him, Long Xi would have told him in advance. If it wasn't Long Tian, then where did this list come from?
Huh?
They were all Huai Yuan's spies. Lu Yin's eyes flashed; this was interesting. Someone wanted him to hurry up and capture Huai Yuan's spies?
It was not that he did not know that the more spies Huai Yuan captured, the more he would offend the three Guan brothers, because that would make them seem incompetent.
More importantly, the person who gave the list actually knew about these spies. It was impossible that the three Guan brothers didn't know about them, so why didn't they capture them themselves?
There was only one possibility. These spies were probably the same as the person from the Zhu Family. They were all chess pieces that the Guan Family's three brothers had released.
Someone wanted him to offend the three Guan brothers. Lu Yin immediately guessed who was behind this; it had to be that Yu Chen.
She had given him this list to capture and offended the three Guan brothers. If he didn't capture them, she definitely had a way to make him take the blame, such as indulging the spies.
This woman was impatient to make a move at this time. It seemed like she had also guessed that the White Dragon Clan would force him to retire and wanted to have some fun before retiring.
Lu Yin thought about it and led his team back to meet Zhuo Si.
Zhuo Si looked at the list in his hand and silently put it down. He looked at Lu Yin, "The people on this list don't have much of a background, but their identities are a bit special. You can capture them with your abilities, so why give them to me?"
Lu Yin puffed out his chest, "My contributions alone can never compare to the contributions of the entire Yin Mountain Region."
Zhuo Si laughed, "You want to give this contribution to the entire Yin Mountain Region?"
Lu Yin solemnly answered, "Yes."
Zhuo Si pursed his lips. He wasn't an idiot, and no one would be so stupid as to give away their contribution. He understood after thinking about it for a bit and looked at Lu Yin strangely, "The White Dragon Clan actually produced someone like you. Interesting." He then raised his hand and used the Cloud Connection Stone to contact the white fatty.
Not long after, the white fatty came in and nodded when he saw Lu Yin.
He was still the same as before, and no matter how brilliant Lu Yin's performance was, it had nothing to do with him. He just focused on being a good-for-nothing.
"Little Wang, how long have you been in the Yin Mountain Region?" Zhuo Si asked kindly when he saw the white fatty.
The white fatty looked foolish, but he was actually quite shrewd. When he heard Zhuo Si's question, he immediately felt that something was amiss and subconsciously looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled kindly, and the white fatty relaxed a little.
"How long?"
Zhuo Si asked again. No matter what his reputation was, he was still the master of the Yin Mountain Region's humble school and an Emissary. All cultivators below the Emissary level had to treat him with respect, and the white fatty was no exception. He quickly replied, "Yes, it's been a few years."
Zhuo Si smiled, "You haven't made any contributions in the past few years, have you? Will you be able to report back to your family?"
The white fatty gulped and looked at Lu Yin again.
Lu Yin smiled and looked at the white fatty encouragingly.
The white fatty was stunned. What did he mean?
Zhuo Si moved his finger and the list flew over to the white fatty. He caught it and blinked, "Uncle Si?
What's this? "
Zhuo Si replied, "We've captured everyone on this list. They're very likely to be spies."
The white fatty's mouth fell open and he pointed at himself, "Me?"
Zhuo Si nodded seriously.
The white fatty looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's smile grew even brighter, "Congratulations, you're about to make a contribution."
The white fatty gulped and looked at Zhuo Si, "Can I not go?"
Zhuo Si's face darkened, "What, are you thinking of betraying humanity?"
Betraying humanity was a serious crime. Even the head of the Four Cardinal Scales Wang family wouldn't be able to shoulder it, let alone the white fatty. As the head of a humble family, this sentence was easily uttered, and because of his status, there was a high chance that it would be confirmed.
The white fatty was frightened and almost jumped up, "Uncle Si, don't scare me! I'm a coward and can't be scared."
Zhuo Si leaned against the wall lazily, just as Lu Yin had seen him before, "Then go capture them. The Yin Mountain District doesn't keep idle people."
You're the biggest idle person, the white fatty grumbled to himself. He looked at Lu Yin and smiled, "Brother, why don't you go capture them?
Strike while the iron is hot and capture a few more. Who knows, you might be able to exchange them for a Tree Emblem. "
Lu Yin's expression was serious, "It's good that everyone is doing well. If I'm the only one who makes a contribution, I won't feel at ease."
The white fatty definitely didn't believe him, but he couldn't refute him. In the end, he could only lead his team to capture the spies.
Lu Yin wasn't idle either. He didn't touch the spies on the list, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't cause trouble for the other spies. The spies he'd learned from Guan Yun's mind were the ones who were truly valuable.
The Yin Mountain District was famous for being a place for the commoners to retire. No one had expected Long Seven to capture four spies in a row. Now, even the fatty from the Wang family, Wang Dashuai, had been mobilized and captured three spies in a row.
When the three Guan brothers heard the news, they immediately cursed, "That idiot from the Wang family caught those spies on purpose. We used them as bait, and now that they've all been captured, what's the point of playing?" Guan Yun was furious.
Guan Hai's expression turned ugly, "Not many people know the identities of those spies, and they're all from the upper echelons of the commoners. Yuchen definitely knows."
"Second Brother, are you saying that Yuchen sold those spies out?
But why would she help that fatty from the Wang family? "Guan Yun didn't understand.
Guan Tong snorted. "He wasn't helping Fatty Wang, but Long Qi. He purposely exposed his spy to Long Qi so that Long Qi would anger us. On one hand, he'd ruin our plans, and on the other, he'd make us seem incompetent, so that we'd have no choice but to oppose Long Qi. But Long Qi wasn't stupid either, and I don't know what method he used to capture Fatty Wang.
"Why are we the unlucky ones again?" Guan Yun was unhappy.
Guan Tong's eyes flashed, "Looks like Yuchen is determined to get us. She wants us to deal with Long Seven."
Guan Hai frowned, "If that's the case, then there's no other way. We can't offend Bai Shaohong. Although dealing with Long Seven might involve the Four Way Scales, it's still better than being mocked for being useless. The three of us can't let Long Seven ruin our reputation. We're from the commoners, so even if the White Dragon Tribe is unhappy, it won't be easy for them to deal with us.
Guan Tong nodded. At this point, if they didn't do it, they would offend Bai Shaohong, and their reputation would be ruined. They would be played for nothing, but if they did it, they would offend the White Dragon Tribe. After weighing the pros and cons, they gritted their teeth and said, "Agree."
In the sky to the north of Huaiyuan, a huge and ugly brown bird flew past. There were dozens of people on its back, and in the middle was a fat middle-aged man. He was dressed in silk, and he looked extraordinarily gorgeous. He had seven or eight cosmic rings on his hand, and it was obvious that he was rich.
At this moment, the fat middle-aged man looked apprehensive, and he kept looking behind him, "Faster, faster, faster."
At this moment, a dozen figures appeared in a row in front of him. Around them, more and more cultivators appeared and floated in the air. These cultivators were all from the fat man's team. The fat man also appeared and looked at the group on the strange bird's back proudly, "Obediently follow me back, and you'll suffer less. If you dare to resist, I'll make you wish you were dead."
The fat middle-aged man despaired, "It's over. We were still discovered. It's over."
"The commoners are here. Do not act rashly," the fat man shouted, scaring the group on the strange bird into not daring to move. They were all cultivators protecting the fat middle-aged man, and when they heard that they were being captured by the commoners, they immediately gave up resisting. The commoners had too much power, and their lives could be taken with a single thought. They didn't dare resist.
The fat man exhaled in satisfaction. He never thought that capturing someone would feel so good. Why hadn't he known before?
