They had offended Lin Qing too deeply, knowing it was impossible for him to show mercy and let them off. In the space, the competition among adventurers was extremely brutal. Especially since they knew Lin Qing's appearance, he was surely afraid they would report back to their guild and organize a cruel retaliation.

There was only one way: to kill them and silence them.

If all the members of the Hong Gang were dead, Lin Qing's secret would naturally be kept. It just so happened that Lin Qing and his two companions had intruded into the entrance of the plot world at night, with no witnesses, and the Hong Gang would have no way to investigate.

But as individuals, they had to struggle for survival.

These elite adventurers were no exception.

"Thud!"

Gouzi actually walked up to Lin Qing, knelt down, and wailed, "Boss, I was just following orders, it's all the fault of the guild leaders. You've heard it, we've long had the intention to break away and don't want to stay here anymore. Boss, do you need a little brother? I'm willing to serve you faithfully."

His shamelessness even stunned Yan Ran and Li Meilin, who were behind him.

Lin Qing's face was calm, neither agreeing nor refusing.

He knew that the members of the Hong Gang still had many benefits. If handled well, he could obtain a lot of precious treasures!

For example, the hidden map of the "White Ape Cliff."

Lin Qing had obtained 5% exploration of the inner world, but he was not satisfied.

According to what he overheard from the Hong Gang members, the higher the exploration of the inner world, the greater the chance of obtaining the ultimate ownership of the world in the future world war.

This was a business with huge returns!

From the attitude of the Hong Gang leaders, who were so concerned about this hidden secret, it was clear that the control of this world was very important.

Even for a huge guild like the Hong Gang, it was so important. If Lin Qing obtained it, how could he not become rich overnight?

But it was obvious that only entities of the same level as the Hong Gang, such as giant teams, had the ability to obtain the hidden map and crack the high-difficulty副本 world.

5% exploration was not enough to ensure Lin Qing's advantage.

He needed more invitations.

Lin Qing looked at Gouzi coldly.

But the surgeon and Ganglao from the Hong Gang said coldly, "Gouzi, you're busy sucking up, do you think this guy can save you from the team's slaughter?"

Gouzi, with tears streaming down his face, turned his head and roared, "I don't care! I know that if I don't surrender now, I won't even be able to save my life. What about tomorrow?"

Lin Qing said calmly, "I understand your desire to surrender. I might not let you off, but do you have a token of loyalty? Why should I believe you and spare you?"

Gouzi's cold sweat dripped down. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, his face showing a fierce expression, "I know a lot about the Hong Gang and the secrets of how to quickly improve your strength. I can..."

"Ha ha ha," KG said carelessly, holding an AK and sneering, "A mere cannon fodder, the weakest adventurer, dares to boast about imparting experience here."

He changed his expression and said flatteringly, "As the leader of the Red Flower Team 4's long-range group, I have more authority and can teach you how to become stronger."

When people lose their sense of shame, they are invincible.

These rough guys, when they lost their sense of shame, were even more meticulous than women. They immediately realized that although Lin Qing was very smart and talented, he was new to the space and didn't even know some basic common knowledge. The beautiful young woman behind him didn't seem to be privy to these secrets either.

This was their chance to survive, perhaps the only chance.

Lin Qing still said nothing.

He was like a hunter, calmly observing the wolf pack, waiting for the moment when they would turn on each other, so he could extract the maximum value.

"You're being stupid," Stab said coldly. "He won't let you go. If you were in his place, would you let us go after killing us and taking all our equipment?"

KG and Gouzi looked hesitant.

They weren't afraid of losing face, but they were afraid of losing their lives after losing face. It would be better to use all their trump cards and try to escape.

Lin Qing said calmly, "That's your mindset. I allow surrender!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the members of the Hong Gang immediately became excited.

Only the surgeon and Ganglao had grim faces.

One had offended Lin Qing the most, having shot him twice with dum-dum bullets, knowing he couldn't be spared. The other had a valuable item, the "White Ape Cliff" map, and was unwilling to give it to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing smiled faintly and said, "I am a practical person and value human feelings. Since everyone is working for the Hong Gang, it's not a deep enmity. But I have three conditions."

"First," Lin Qing said calmly, "I don't want so many people. I will accept a maximum of three surrenders."

"You're despicable!" the surgeon shouted angrily. "He's clearly trying to sow discord among us, making us kill each other."

Lin Qing said carelessly, "I haven't specified who I will accept or not. As long as you are willing to surrender, I will accept you. But some of you must die."

"Second, I want two things from you. One is the map of the 'White Ape Cliff.'" Lin Qing pointed at Ganglao. "The second is his automatic recovery equipment."

Lin Qing pointed at the surgeon.

The two looked at each other, their gazes even colder.

Lin Qing said indifferently, "Third, I want the complete strategy plan for this plot world. I am very interested in this mode."

"Is that it?" Gouzi looked up in surprise.

Lin Qing nodded, "That's it. I have no more demands."

"He won't keep his promise!" the surgeon insisted. "He will definitely kill us. Use your brains."

"Use your brain," Lin Qing said with a smile. "You are a Red Flower elite. If they kill you, their hands will be stained with blood, and they won't be able to return to the team to report me. The team won't trust them. If I can get what I want without staining my hands, why would I kill you?"

After saying this, Lin Qing smiled and stood aside, watching the five members of the Hong Gang.

This was a cunning move to sow discord.

Why didn't Lin Qing personally kill the Hong Gang?

It was simple: there were rules in the world.

Lin Qing was the leader of the prestigious Emei Sect, not the leader of a cult. If he wanted to kill, he couldn't rely on numbers; he could only fight one-on-one! Lin Qing didn't have that strength. He couldn't handle even one Red Flower elite.

If he forced the Emei Sect to capture the Hong Gang and then kill them, it would be a beautiful idea, but the space wouldn't leave such an obvious loophole. The only outcome would be a sharp drop in Lin Qing's reputation.

Lin Qing could also send Emei Sect experts to kill the Hong Gang, but then he wouldn't get the map and secrets from the Hong Gang.

To get what he wanted, there was only one way: one-on-one, to kill the members of the Hong Gang.

He had to use a clever plan to both kill the opposing adventurers and gain benefits.

It must be said that Lin Qing's intentions were malicious, a result of his low strength.

The five people looked at each other, their eyes filled with a cold light.

Suddenly, Stab launched an attack, stabbing Gouzi with his triangular bayonet.

Gouzi shouted, "Bastard! I knew you were going to betray me!"

He drew a pair of Wu hooks from his chest, blocking Stab's bayonet, and with a flip of his hand, slashed at Stab's neck.

Ding Minjun stood beside Lin Qing and said sharply, "These five don't look like decent people. Why not order the sisters to attack and deal with these Ming Sect bandits?"

Lin Qing glanced at Ding Minjun and smiled, "If so, Minjun, if you can kill these five alone, I will make you the chief disciple. What do you think?"

Currently, the chief disciple was Emei's eldest disciple, Jingxu.

Ding Minjun's eyes flashed with greed, and she said calmly, "I will follow the master's order."

She flicked her long sword, the wind cutting through the air, and stabbed at Ganglao.

In the plot, Ding Minjun had about 30-40% of the true transmission from Master Miaojue, not a very high level, but for adventurers, she was a formidable opponent!

Ding Minjun's sword stabbed at Ganglao.

Ganglao snorted coldly, and the liquid metal suddenly turned into a shiny small shield. With a clang, the Emei long sword and the small shield collided, and Ding Minjun's full-strength attack failed.

Lin Qing's eyes turned cold.

The members of the Hong Gang were indeed team elites. Ganglao's liquid metal was versatile and very difficult to handle.

Ganglao took advantage of the situation, and the liquid metal had already turned into a sharp dagger, stabbing at Ding Minjun's chest.

Meanwhile, the surgeon suddenly attacked, firing a highly toxic dum-dum bullet at Ding Minjun's back!

A front and rear attack.

The trapped Hong Gang adventurers, if they could kill one, would be one less. If they killed Ding Minjun, Lin Qing would be in a difficult situation!

Zhou Zhiruo looked at Lin Qing, her eyes pleading for Ding Minjun. She was kind-hearted and, even though she had been bullied by Ding Minjun, she couldn't bear to see her senior sister die at the hands of the Ming Sect members.

Lin Qing was unmoved.

He knew that in a month and a half, he would leave the world of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," and he would definitely take Zhou Zhiruo with him.

What about the Emei Sect?

The Emei Sect would stay in this world, and he would only return during the world war to take control of the Emei Sect again.

Regardless of Master Miaojue, with Ding Minjun's character, the honest people like Jingxu would definitely not be a match for her. She might seize power and control the Emei Sect.

This would be a huge threat to Lin Qing.

But as a new leader, he couldn't easily kill an old-timer like Ding Minjun, as it would make the others lose heart and damage his reputation.

It was better to let her fight the Hong Gang members, using them to eliminate this unstable factor!
