a Man Like None Other Chapter 7104 Rent Collection
“good.”
David took out the lists and books he had looted from the archives and library of the inspection area from his storage ring and spread them out on the bank of the dark river.
He crouched down and used the primordial chaos to draw a simplified topographical map of the twenty-six heavens on the ground, pointing his finger at the location of the underground river. “We are here now. Directly below the outer gate of the Heavenly Pivot Sect, three hundred feet underground.”
Two thousand miles to the north lies the main spiritual vein of the inner sect of the Tian Shu Sect;
Three thousand li to the south lies a medium-sized outpost of the Border Patrol Division;
Five thousand li to the west lies the territory of the Yunlan Sect—that sect, after the destruction of the five great families, had submitted to the Border Patrol Division and was one of Heng Xuan’s lackeys.
He drew several lines on the map with his finger, connecting the location of the underground river with the distribution of surrounding forces: “Although Hengxuan’s sealing network is tight, it is connected by array nodes.”
Each node has a fixed location and coverage area, and there must be gaps between nodes.
“We’re outnumbered but agile; we can use those gaps to move inside the barricades.”
Tieshan frowned: “But our people together number less than a hundred, and their cultivation levels vary. We can’t defeat any of the patrol teams from the Border Patrol Division head-on.”
“Who said we were going to fight head-on?”
David grinned, “How did I manage to walk Heng Xuan before? He chased me, I ran; he stopped, I harassed him.”
We won’t confront him head-on; we’ll specifically target his weaknesses.
He pointed to a mark on the map: “Here—the material transfer station of the outer gate of the Border Patrol Division.”
Hengxuan has stored all the resources, pills, magical artifacts, and spirit stones he collected from us here.
The garrison consisted of only one hundred men, the highest-ranking of whom was only a third-grade Immortal Lord.
We’ll sneak over at night, empty the place, burn down the outpost, and then retreat through the secret passage.
By the time Hengxuan realized what was happening, we were already back at the bottom of the underground river.
“Thisthis is robbery, isn’t it?” someone muttered quietly.
“nonsense.”
David rolled his eyes. “What do you think revolution is? Revolution is about robbing his food, cutting off his roads, smashing his pots, making him unable to eat or sleep well, and making his men too hungry to patrol.”
If we can’t beat him, then we’ll make sure he doesn’t even have the strength to fight.
The group looked at each other, and then someone burst out laughing.
The laughter carried a sense of relief that had been suppressed for a long time, and a feeling of catharsis that had finally found an outlet for pent-up frustration.
Tieshan was the first to respond: “Let’s do it! I’ve been whipped by those lackeys of the Border Patrol Division for over a decade. Today, it’s time for them to taste what it’s like to be robbed!”
That night, David led Liu Chen, Tie Shan, and more than ten of the most skilled cultivators out of the underground river.
They traversed the underground spiritual veins in the darkness, avoiding all patrol routes and array nodes on the surface, approaching the supply transfer station like ghosts.
The security at the transit station was indeed lax.
Most of the hundred-man squad were dozing off, with only a few soldiers on night duty patrolling leisurely.
David used the principles of space to fold his body and sneak into the stronghold. The chaotic origin silently disintegrated the sealing formation of the warehouse layer by layer.
