God-Level Special Forces Soldier

Chapter 633: Chapter 630: Killing with a Borrowed Knife

Ghost Face knew exactly the kind of person he was dealing with. If Ghost Face was the first to make a move against someone, it would not be without reason. Even without personal feelings, this fact remained.

Because acting this way does not align with his interests. Ghost Face urgently needed to leverage the power of the Kunlun Sect to obtain the Five Elements Crystal. What benefit would there be in attacking a teammate midway?

If he coveted the treasure after getting the Five Elements Crystal, it might be possible, but now, before even seeing the treasure, directly skipping the intermediary processes and going straight to robbery and murder—how is that possible?!

Also, there’s his illegitimate son. Celestial Punishment Daoist took him along the way, and Daoist Tianxing could figure out what plans this father and son duo were hatching with his toes.

Even the idea that Celestial Punishment Daoist wanted him to become the Sect Leader was clear to Daoist Tianxing, though he kept quiet about it!

As the head of the Kunlun Sect, if Daoist Tianxing couldn’t understand the schemes within the sect, he would be too much of a failure!

Although it’s said that people’s hearts are hard to fathom, and some may harbor ill intentions, as far as Celestial Punishment Daoist is concerned, the two were taught by the same master, and Daoist Tianxing has long since seen through him completely.

The choice before Daoist Tianxing was not difficult—it was merely a question of whether to send people to take action or not.

At this thought, Daoist Tianxing smiled slightly: ”Why bother with a bunch of petty criminals?!”

”Junior Brother Celestial Punishment, since those people are so ungrateful and have reneged on their word, we can’t let them go easily. Select people immediately to pursue and kill them.”

After finishing, Daoist Tianxing stood with his hands behind his back, his words sharp as a knife: ”We absolutely cannot tarnish the name of our Kunlun Sect!”

”...” The words from Daoist Tianxing left Celestial Punishment Daoist at a loss, even vaguely uneasy. No matter how he predicted, he couldn’t have anticipated such a swift agreement from the other side.

The plan seemed too smooth, leaving him unsure how to react, but overall it was in his favor, successfully shifting the anger onto Ghost Face and others, absolving himself of any responsibility.

After thinking it over, Celestial Punishment Daoist cupped his hands and said: ”Don’t worry, Senior Brother, I will begin the arrangements immediately. However, if those people change their route...”

”No matter!” Daoist Tianxing waved his hand: ”Their goal is the Five Elements Crystal. As long as we follow this route, we will definitely find them!”

...

After the meeting was dismissed, Daoist Tianxing stood in place for a long time, his gaze distant and deep, with no one able to guess what he was thinking.

Eventually, coming back to his senses, Daoist Tianxing sighed inwardly, wondering if his old friend could lend him a hand?

If things proceed according to Daoist Tianxing’s thinking, the meeting just now would be Celestial Punishment Daoist’s last appearance in this conference hall.

Meanwhile, the faction that Celestial Punishment Daoist had built over the years would be uprooted entirely.

Just unsure if Ghost Face could still fulfill his wish and help him cleanse the sect!

——

After Xiao Tian and the others had a full meal, they began to set up the tent, as Melinda previously only carried a portable tent with her.

Ghost Face could only find some branches to build a frame and then cover it with large pieces of fabric to shield from the wind and snow. While it looked simple, it was quite practical. As for warm bedding, they made do with animal hides they had used before.

Of course, even if they didn’t cover with anything, it wasn’t a big deal!

”Why are you building it so big?” Xiao Tian asked, puzzled, looking at the frame Ghost Face was setting up.

Ghost Face, equally puzzled, asked, ”Aren’t you going to live here?”

”Of course not!” Xiao Tian shook his head, a sympathetic look on his face: ”Unlike you, I’ve got someone to keep me warm at night!”

Saying this, he headed towards Lin Bingxuan and Melinda’s tent, leaving Ghost Face bewildered in the wind—does being single mean you deserve to be looked down upon?!

...

”Let’s use this for lighting!” Melinda took out a fist-sized Luminous Pearl from her backpack, causing Lin Bingxuan to stare wide-eyed.

Even as a CEO of a listed company, knowledgeable as she was, it was the first time she had been this close to such a large Luminous Pearl.

”How much must this be worth?!” Lin Bingxuan exclaimed in awe.

”Do you like it?” Hearing her exclamation, Melinda placed the Luminous Pearl directly in Lin Bingxuan’s hand: ”Then consider it a gift!”

Lin Bingxuan hurriedly declined, indicating that she didn’t mean it that way, placing the Luminous Pearl between them: ”Is this your family’s heirloom?”

”Not at all!” Melinda put one hand behind her neck and said to Lin Bingxuan: ”Bingxuan, you don’t know...”

She then started to narrate how Xiao Tian impersonated the rapist Jiang Kaishan to infiltrate a third party, using this ruse to deceive some lecherous individuals, explaining it all at once.

...

”...” Lin Bingxuan found herself speechless, not knowing what was best to say. After a moment, she asked: ”So, those people didn’t chase after you later on?”

Melinda was about to speak when she suddenly stood up, and Lin Bingxuan reacted similarly, looking at the shadow outside the tent. They exchanged a glance and instinctively became alert.

”Who’s there?” Melinda asked coldly, her arm reaching for her belt, ready to spring into action. Lin Bingxuan quietly prepared an energy pulse, ready to send it into her body at Melinda’s signal.

”Me!”

A familiar voice relieved both women, causing them to lower their defenses.

”Why aren’t you sleeping so late?” Lin Bingxuan asked first.

Xiao Tian outside the tent was momentarily stunned. The way that sounded, it seemed the two women weren’t planning to let him sleep there!

After thinking about it, Xiao Tian decided it was best to trick them into opening the ”door” first, and said: ”It’s so cold outside, let’s talk inside!”

In a moment, the tent was opened, and as Xiao Tian saw the two women under the same blanket inside, using the invaluable Luminous Pearl as a light source, he couldn’t help smacking his lips at the extravagance!

”Thank you, thank you!” Xiao Tian stepped forward wanting to squeeze in, but was simultaneously stopped by both women.

”Thank you for what?” they asked in unison.

Xiao Tian smiled mischievously: ”Weren’t you keeping the bed warm for me?”

The two beauties simultaneously rolled their eyes, with Melinda speaking first: ”This place only fits two people, three would be too crowded and we can’t fit.”

”On a cold day like this, squeezing a bit keeps it warm, doesn’t it?” Xiao Tian tried again to get inside, only to be blocked once more.

Seeing he was about to be asked to leave, Xiao Tian turned to Lin Bingxuan with a pleading look, only to find Lin Bingxuan ignoring his signal, also saying: ”Isn’t there space with Mr. Ghost Face?”

”Who wants to...” Before he could finish, he heard a ”whoosh” and the tent flap was pulled shut by Melinda.
