Just as he was about to speak, wanting to thank the lord for sparing his life, a warm sensation spread across his neck, spurting out.
He opened his mouth, unable to utter a single syllable; clearly, his throat had been slit. He raised his eyes, looking at Qian Jiyun standing in front of him.
Wasn’t he supposed to be spared? Why, why did he have to be killed?
He had already realized his mistakes; why couldn’t he be given a chance to start anew?
Besides, had he really done anything wrong? If a person doesn’t look after their own interests, heaven and earth would conspire against them. He was only trying to look after his future—he had followed Qian Jiyun for so many years. Despite being a senior, he had to heed the instructions of guards who joined Huayan Peak later than he did.
The position of team leader never ca to him. Wasn’t it understandable for him to be unwilling to accept this?
Since the master was unwise and did not care for a loyal subordinate like him, why couldn’t he choose another master?
"Dig a hole and bury it far away," Qian Jiyun commanded indifferently, then turned and walked away.
"Yes, lord,"
The two team leader guards responded, looking at the still-breathing Gao Dong with nothing but disdain in their eyes.
"Dying like this is really too easy for him!"
"Dead is dead, let it be cheap if it is. If he had lived, who knows what else he might have done. Better that he dies to keep things simple."
The two team leader guards chatted as they waited for Gao Dong to die, then dragged the body out to be buried in the night.
...
Dawn had broken.
In the woods, Shadow Killer retrieved the blueprints that had been torn in two and almost stolen and destroyed.
Along with Aunt Qiu, they pieced the torn blueprints together after a while. Shadow Killer pointed to a spot on the map and spoke to Aunt Qiu.
"Here, and these few tents, are where those from the other camps reside." He pointed with one hand to several tents on the map.
"Right in the center. No wonder we never saw anyone from the other planes co out!" Aunt Qiu chuckled in anger upon seeing the tents marked on the blueprint.
This was right at the heart of the camp, putting them there ensured the most security.
It was easy enough for their people to enter the camp, but to cross half the camp and assassinate those in the tents at the center, they’d have to be prepared to co back dead.
"What are these little red dots? Why are there so many?"
"These indicate the situation of the camp’s guards. If we want to get in, we must pass through these people’s surveillance without being detected."
Shadow Killer explained.
He regretted not having opened the map to take a look earlier in front of Gao Dong.
Why were there so many guards at the camp? Didn’t they have demonic beasts to hunt? They’re just standing there, supposedly protecting the camp, but really just being lazy—what a bunch of slackers.
"So many people?"
Aunt Qiu was taken aback by his explanation.
When did the camp have so many people? Qian Jiyun hadn’t been at Huayan Peak for several years, yet he had still managed to develop his forces here.
Truly underestimated him.
"With so many people, how are we supposed to get in?" She felt that the task was becoming increasingly difficult.
According to the blueprint, the camp was like an impregnable fortress. How on earth could there be room to place so many people?
"Shadow Killer, when did the camp get so many people?"
