Towards Eternity
Ch 435's. The King of Thieves, Gouwang Zie (II)
The Gouwang Zie capture plan devised by Pang Baicha and Jian Qiang was not initially what it was today.
Previously, they planned to lure Gouwang Zie using some of the precious treasures they had accumulated for 3 weeks in this Hundan City.
According to the information they had gathered, Gouwang Zie would move alone if any treasure caught his attention. That's why for 3 weeks in Hundan City, Pang Baicha often went to crowded places with people passing by while carrying some valuable objects openly.
This was done to attract the attention of Gouwang Zie. According to their estimations, Gouwang Zie should have come to their place when they were all in a condition where it was impossible to catch up to him.
And this is when they have been fighting all day at the Free Martial Tournament today, and their bodies should be in such a state of exhaustion that it would be difficult to catch up to Gouwang Zie if he moved at this time.
However, due to the aftermath of the Match Arena, where one of the members of the Thief Snake Group who was a group owned by Gouwang Zie, this could not happen.
However, with the help of the members of the Thief Snake Group who came to take their revenge, their plan could be re-executed.
"Hehe...no one can dwell when it comes to his own survival, am I right, captain?" Pang Baicha spoke while ridiculing the woman who was the leader of the Thief Snake Group's people.
An annoyed face seemed from the woman, she wanted to say something, yet another aura came over her body and made her unable to move.
He turned his head and looked at Jian Qiang, who was the one who gave him pressure through his aura. Cold sweat poured down from the woman's forehead as her eyes stared at Jian Qiang.
Although the pressure he felt was not as great as that released by Pang Baicha before, but he could tell that the aura Jian Qiang had was not to make him unable to move, but rather just to warn him, instead, that he was still alive at this moment was because they were too lazy to do so.
"Hey you, tell us quickly where the coward is?!" Pang Baicha asked the person who had previously said that he would tell him the location of Gouwang Zie.
The one who said that was a man who looked like he had put on a frightened expression ever since the aura and pressure from Pang Baicha had been pulled back by him.
"Good! Alright!! I will tell you!! Please don't kill me, I still want to live!!" screamed the man with fear.
"Good! Get up and take me to his place."
The man immediately nodded and then got up to his feet and hurriedly ran in one direction.
Pang Baicha who saw him did not directly chase after him, but instead turned his gaze to the woman before. He grabbed her hand, and then immediately pulled, then took her away following the man.
Jian Qiang was still standing still in his place for a while, before then his figure disappeared abruptly from his place, leaving behind the remains of the members of the Thief Serpent Group who were still on the ground.
"Ohohoho."
From the middle of the group, the figure of the innkeeper suddenly appeared and spoke casually to all of them.
Notice that the people there were immediately directed at him and suddenly another powerful aura befell them all. This time the aura they felt, to the point of making them have to lie on the ground without being able to move even the slightest part of their body.
"No one dares to leave before paying the damages for ruining the front of my inn. You have to pay me 1,000 gold coins" said the innkeeper, smiling meaningfully at them all.
Those people swallowed their spit. They did not expect, after they managed to get out of the lion's mouth, they went on to enter in the safety of a dragon.

In one of the dark and desolate hallways in Hundan City, there was a place unknown to the common people like Weng Lou and others.
In this dark and lonely hallway, there is a place where the dark trade is carried out by criminals such as thieves, murderers, and others. It is also a place where forbidden items such as dangerous pills, and poisons are freely traded.
Hundan City as a city that can be said to be almost lawless, is a very profitable place if you do illicit trade like this.
The figure of Pang Baicha along with the woman he brought followed the man without hesitation. They traced the dark passage without hesitation, until then the man who had brought them stopped at the end of the passageway they had passed through which was a dead end.
Pang Baicha just silently looked at that, and continued to watch over the surroundings. Ever since he entered this dark passageway, there had been more than 5 soul forces that he felt were watching him, and the possibility of where they were right now was extremely dangerous.
Shortly after they reached the end of the hallway, the man who took them tried to fumble around the wall that was the end of the hallway, and then a road to the underground suddenly opened just like that.
The man then turned his head towards Pang Baicha.
"I-This is the way." he said with fear.
"Don't I say take myself to Gouwang Zie? You just show me the way right now. Come in and lead me!"
Pang Baicha spoke with annoyance and kicked the man's butt, and made him push into the stairs that led underground.
"Yahoooo!!!"
Pack-it! Buck! Back!
There was a sound of body impact from the man for a while, before finally stopping which signified he had reached the bottom of the basement.
"Alright, let's go in too," Pang Baicha told the woman he was with.
"Hmp! You're making a big mistake! You think you can fuck with our boss? You're just looking to die if you get in there!" The woman smiled mockingly at Pang Baicha.
"Stop saying nonsense, I still clearly remember what you and that bastard did to me after robbing me three months ago. You left me alone in the Mist Forest and stripped me of all my weapons and storage rings. If it wasn't for the help of an unknown woman I met back then, I would have died that day." After saying that, Pang Baicha who was carrying the woman who was with him stepped in, and started down the stairs leading to the basement.
It only took a minute until they both arrived at the end of the stairs which was a wooden door measuring 2×1 meters.
Klack....
The door opened and revealed a vast underground room, just like a small town with dozens of buildings.
"Dark market."
From beside Pang Baicha, Jian Qiang's figure appeared and also stared at the dungeon. A few steps away from them, there was a figure of a man leading them lying helplessly on the ground from being pushed by Pang Baicha earlier, so he fell down quite badly.
"Heh, don't laze there, quickly take us to your boss's place" said Pang Baicha, who kicked the man's butt.
The man remained silent in his place, and pretended to be unconscious. He no longer wanted to be with Pang Baicha. If he was discovered by his boss, Gouwang Zie, that he had brought Pang Baicha and Jian Qiang here, then he would die.
Pang Baicha's forehead shriveled at the sight of the man not moving at all, and he sighed.
"If you don't take me, you'll still die. But the difference is I'm gonna kill you here. You better take me to Gouwang Zie's place right now, and I'll let you go. Of course, Gouwang Zie won't have time to look for you, because he'll be busy with me."
Hearing Pang Baicha's words, the man seemed indecisive and began to rethink his decision. After half a minute of thought, he finally got back up to his feet and hurriedly ran back, delivering Pang Baicha to where Gouwang Zie was.
He would naturally choose the part where his chance of survival was higher, so betraying his boss was fine for that person.
